  • early_init_irq_lock_class() is called way before anything touches the
    irq descriptors. In case of SPARSE_IRQ=y this is a NOP operation
    because the radix tree is empty at this point. For the SPARSE_IRQ=n
    case it's sufficient to set the lock class in early_init_irq().

  • Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
    correctly on ARM:

    arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

    This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
    the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
    because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
    copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
    pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

    do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
    or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
    const should be fine.

    Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

    This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

    This warning is actually correct, as the global initcall_debug could

  • Mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() and thus it will be initialized
    before smp bringup. init_workqueues() registers for the hotcpu notifier
    and thus it should cope with the processors that are brought online after
    the workqueues are initialized.

    x86 smp bringup code uses workqueues and uses a workaround for the
    cold boot process (as the workqueues are initialized post smp_init()).
    Marking init_workqueues() as early_initcall() will pave the way for
    cleaning up this code.

  • Ilya reported that on a very slow machine he could reliably
    reproduce a race between forking init and kthreadd. We first
    fork init so that it obtains pid-1, however since the scheduler
    is already fully running at this point it can preempt and run
    the init thread before we spawn and set kthreadd_task.

    The init thread can then attempt spawning kthreads without
    kthreadd being present which results in an OOPS.

  • This patch updates percpu allocator such that it can serve limited
    amount of allocation before slab comes online. This is primarily to
    allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator.

    Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how
    much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved. If this
    reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation
    will fail till slab comes online.

    The following changes are made to implement early alloc.

    * pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available()

    * Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc()

    * Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as
    PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE.

    * Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to
    kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

  • Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be
    safe bug fix.

    You get:
    ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet
    for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds
    maxcpus= count.

    As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine
    and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work
    I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted
    machines. Still this should get fixed and
    /proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus
    should not show up.

    I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask
    and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day
    (and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then).
    But this needs touching of a lot other places...

  • For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets
    with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:

    1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
    at end of __build_all_zonelists().

    2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still
    shared in onlined_pages()

    Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping
    boot_pageset for same CPU, which will finally cause below kernel panic:

  • The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
    hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
    kernel allocators are initialized.

    This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
    specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
    the kernel has been further initialized.

    The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
    initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into
    the debug core's version of the late init which is called
    dbg_late_init();

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • To avoid potential problems with an empty /dev open /dev/console
    from rootfs instead of waiting to mount our root filesystem and
    mounting it there. This effectively guarantees that there will
    be a device node, and it won't be on a filesystem that we will
    ever unmount, so there are no issues with leaving /dev/console
    open and pinning the filesystem.

    This is actually more effective than automatically mounting
    devtmpfs on /dev because it removes removes the occasionally
    problematic assumption that /dev/console exists from the boot
    code.

    With this patch I was able to throw busybox on my /boot partition
    (which has no /dev directory) and boot into userspace without
    problems.

    The only possible negative consequence I can think of is that
    someone out there deliberately used did not use a character device
    that is major 5 minor 2 for /dev/console. Does anyone know of a
    situation in which that could make sense?

  • ima wants to create an inode information struct (iint) when inodes are
    allocated. This means that at least the part of ima which does this
    allocation (the allocation is filled with information later) should
    before any inodes are created. To accomplish this we split the ima
    initialization routine placing the kmem cache allocator inside a
    security_initcall() function. Since this makes use of radix trees we also
    need to make sure that is initialized before security_initcall().

  • The symbol 'call' is a static symbol used for initcall_debug. This same
    symbol name is used locally by a couple functions and produces the
    following sparse warnings:

    warning: symbol 'call' shadows an earlier one

    Fix this noise by renaming the local symbols.
