Since commit d8a953ddde5e ("bootconfig: Set CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n by
default") also changed the CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING to select
CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG to show the boot-time tracing on the menu,
it introduced wrong dependencies with BLK_DEV_INITRD as below.WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for BOOT_CONFIG
Depends on [n]: BLK_DEV_INITRD [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- BOOTTIME_TRACING [=y] && TRACING_SUPPORT [=y] && FTRACE [=y] && TRACING [=y]This makes the CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG selects CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD to
fix this error and make CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING=n by default, so
that both boot-time tracing and boot configuration off but those
appear on the menu list.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158264140162.23842.11237423518607465535.stgit@devnote2

Print arraied values as multiple same options for legacy
kernel command line. With this rule, if the "kernel.*" and
"init.*" array entries in bootconfig are printed out as
multiple same options, e.g.kernel {
console = "ttyS0,115200"
console += "tty0"
}will be correctly converted to
console="ttyS0,115200" console="tty0"
in the kernel command line.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

The current implementation does a naive search of "bootconfig" on the kernel
command line. But this could find "bootconfig" that is part of another
option in quotes (although highly unlikely). But it also needs to find '--'
on the kernel command line to know if it should append a '--' or not when a
bootconfig in the initrd file has an "init" section. The check uses the
naive strstr() to find to see if it exists. But this can return a false
positive if it exists in an option and then the "init" section in the initrd
will not be appended properly.Using parse_args() to find both of these will solve both of these problems.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added new "bootconfig".
This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.
Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.
- Created dynamic event creation.
Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
events.- Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"
- Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"
Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"
- Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.
- Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wjfjO+h6bQzrTf=YCZA53Y3EDyAs3Z4gEsT7icA3u_Psw@mail.gmail.com

for the said architecture, whereas absence of CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2.
unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as
either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the
function is broken for quoted command line arguments.When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args
and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line hasparam\0"value\0
with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function
repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was
removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results inparam=value\0\0
and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This
bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate
function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead
code.This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where
the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param:1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a
potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be
placed in init's environment.2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is
an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the
comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param='
against the existing environment. So passing, for example,
TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both
TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment.Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init
and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is
unnecessarily verbose.Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in
do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now
and the repairing is no longer necessary.Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of
param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param.This patch (of 3):
Commit a99cd1125189 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be
passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption
by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function.When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to
strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the
actual location of the value.The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly
treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's
environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a
duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will
result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's
environment.Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling
repair_env_string instead of relying on val.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191212180023.24339-4-nivedita@alum.mit.edu

Since commit 08746a65c296 ("init: fix in-place parameter modification

this parsing, as this copy is not used for anything later.Remove the now unnecessary arguments from repair_env_string as well.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timekeeping and timers departement provides:- Time namespace support:
If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
requirements.The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
kernel configuration the code is compiled out.Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.- Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure

This reverts commit 786b2384bf1c ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS").
There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests
on some (Debian) systems:1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or
if I never tested this case.2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I
set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally
unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run
before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case.Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run
very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace
fork test already failed:----------------------
$ ./linux mem=512M
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f
Aborted
----------------------Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan)
involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead
some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot
distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors.Thus, revert this commit.

To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.
Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.[avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data
pointer by CS_RAW offset.]Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski

Time Namespace isolates clock values.
The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.CLOCK_REALTIME
System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC
Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
some unspecified starting point.CLOCK_BOOTTIME
Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
that the system is suspended.For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and
time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of
CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious
value.But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be
guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is
created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace,
but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process
will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns()
system call to join a namespace.This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any
processes appear in it.All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest
bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and
the clone3() system calls.[ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the
changelog a bit. ]Co-developed-by: Dmitry Safonov

Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.[sfr@canb.auug.org.au: export _debug_pagealloc_enabled_early]

Since the current kernel command line is too short to describe
long and many options for init (e.g. systemd command line options),
this allows admin to use boot config for init command line.All init command line under "init." keywords will be passed to
init.For example,
init.systemd {

Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured
boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends
the kernel command line in an efficient way.Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.
key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,key {
word1 {
setting1 = data
setting2
}
word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/157867221257.17873.1775090991929862549.stgit@devnote2

This reverts commit 8243186f0cc7 ("fs: remove ksys_dup()") and the
subsequent fix for it in commit 2d3145f8d280 ("early init: fix error
handling when opening /dev/console").Trying to use filp_open() and f_dupfd() instead of pseudo-syscalls
caused more trouble than what is worth it: it requires accessing vfs
internals and it turns out there were other bugs in it too.In particular, the file reference counting was wrong - because unlike
the original "open+2*dup" sequence it used "filp_open+3*f_dupfd" and
thus had an extra leaked file reference.That in turn then caused odd problems with Androidx86 long after boot
becaue of how the extra reference to the console kept the session active
even after all file descriptors had been closed.Reported-by: youling 257

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-12-27The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
We've added 127 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain
a total of 110 files changed, 6901 insertions(+), 2721 deletions(-).There are three merge conflicts. Conflicts and resolution looks as follows:
1) Merge conflict in net/bpf/test_run.c:
There was a tree-wide cleanup c593642c8be0 ("treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro")
which gets in the way with b590cb5f802d ("bpf: Switch to offsetofend in
BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"):<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, priority) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, priority),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, priority),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b166113743adad131b5a24c4acc12f92cThere are a few occasions that look similar to this. Always take the chunk with
offsetofend(). Note that there is one where the fields differ in here:<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, tstamp) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, tstamp),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, gso_segs),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b166113743adad131b5a24c4acc12f92cJust take the one with offsetofend() /and/ gso_segs. Latter is correct due to
850a88cc4096 ("bpf: Expose __sk_buff wire_len/gso_segs to BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN").2) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
(I'm keeping Bjorn in Cc here for a double-check in case I got it wrong.)
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (is_13b_check(off, insn))
return -1;
emit(rv_blt(tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off >> 1), ctx);

>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b166113743adad131b5a24c4acc12f92cResult should look like:
emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx);
3) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h:

Only take the BPF_* defines from there and move them higher up in the

got moved via 01f52e16b868 ("riscv: define vmemmap before pfn_to_page

Let me know if there are any other issues.
Anyway, the main changes are:
1) Extend bpftool to produce a struct (aka "skeleton") tailored and specific
to a provided BPF object file. This provides an alternative, simplified API
compared to standard libbpf interaction. Also, add libbpf extern variable
resolution for .kconfig section to import Kconfig data, from Andrii Nakryiko.2) Add BPF dispatcher for XDP which is a mechanism to avoid indirect calls by
generating a branch funnel as discussed back in bpfconf'19 at LSF/MM. Also,
add various BPF riscv JIT improvements, from Björn Töpel.3) Extend bpftool to allow matching BPF programs and maps by name,
from Paul Chaignon.4) Support for replacing cgroup BPF programs attached with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI
flag for allowing updates without service interruption, from Andrey Ignatov.5) Cleanup and simplification of ring access functions for AF_XDP with a
bonus of 0-5% performance improvement, from Magnus Karlsson.6) Enable BPF JITs for x86-64 and arm64 by default. Also, final version of
audit support for BPF, from Daniel Borkmann and latter with Jiri Olsa.7) Move and extend test_select_reuseport into BPF program tests under
BPF selftests, from Jakub Sitnicki.8) Various BPF sample improvements for xdpsock for customizing parameters
to set up and benchmark AF_XDP, from Jay Jayatheerthan.9) Improve libbpf to provide a ulimit hint on permission denied errors.
Also change XDP sample programs to attach in driver mode by default,
from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.10) Extend BPF test infrastructure to allow changing skb mark from tc BPF
programs, from Nikita V. Shirokov.11) Optimize prologue code sequence in BPF arm32 JIT, from Russell King.
12) Fix xdp_redirect_cpu BPF sample to manually attach to tracepoints after
libbpf conversion, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.13) Minor misc improvements from various others.

when you have odd initial boot filesystems, or kernel configurations.So get the error handling right: filp_open() returns an error pointer.
