commit c7858bf16c0b2cc62f475f31e6df28c3a68da1d6 upstream.
The asm-prototypes.h file is used to provide dummy function declarations
for genksyms, when processing asm files with EXPORT_SYMBOL. Make sure
that any architecture defines get out of our way. x86 currently has an
issue with memcpy on 64bit with CONFIG_KMEMCHECK=y and with
memset/__memset on 32bit:$ cat init/test.c

commit 334bb773876403eae3457d81be0b8ea70f8e4ccc upstream.
Commit 4efca4ed ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") adds
modversion support for symbols exported from asm files. Architectures
must include C-style declarations for those symbols in asm/asm-prototypes.h
in order for them to be versioned.Add these declarations for x86, and an architecture-independent file that
can be used for common symbols.With f27c2f6 reverting 8ab2ae6 ("default exported asm symbols to zero") we
produce a scary warning on x86, this commit fixes that.Signed-off-by: Adam Borowski

This reverts commit 8ab2ae655bfe384335c5b6b0d6041e0ddce26b00.
I loved that commit because of how it explained what the problem with
newer versions of binutils were, but the actual patch itself turns out
to not work very well.It has two problems:
- a zero CRC value isn't actually right. It happens to work for the
case where both sides of the equation fail at giving the symbol a
crc, but there are cases where the users of the exported symbol get
the right crc (due to seeing the C declarations), but the actual
exporting itself does not (due to the whole weak asm symbol issue).So then the module load fails after all - we did have a crc for the
symbol, but we couldn't match it with the loaded module.- it seems that the alpha assembler has special semantics for the
'.set' directive, and on alpha it doesn't actually set the value of
the specified symbol at all, it is instead used to set various
assembly modes (eg ".set noat" and ".set noreorder").So using ".set" to set the symbol value would just cause build
failures on alpha.I'm sure we'll find some other workaround for these issues (hopefully
that involves getting rid of modversions entirely some day, but people
are also talking about just using smarter tools). But for now we'll
just fall back on commit faaae2a58143 ("Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in
a slightly weaker form") that just let's a missing crc through.Reported-by: Jan Stancek

With binutils-2.26 and before, a weak missing symbol was kept during the
final link, and a missing CRC for an export would lead to that CRC being
treated as zero implicitly. With binutils-2.27, the crc symbol gets
dropped, and any module trying to use it will fail to load.This sets the weak CRC symbol to zero explicitly, making it defined in
vmlinux, which in turn lets us load the modules referring to that CRC.The comment above the __CRC_SYMBOL macro suggests that this was always
the intention, although it also seems that all symbols defined in C have
a correct CRC these days, and only the exports that are now done in
assembly need this.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like
events do") added a couple of this_cpu_read calls to the ftrace code.On x86 this is not a problem, since it has single instructions to read
percpu data. Other architectures which use the generic variant now
have additional preempt_disable and preempt_enable calls in the core
ftrace code. This may lead to recursive calls and in result to a dead
machine, e.g. if preemption and debugging options are enabled.To fix this use the notrace variant of preempt_disable and
preempt_enable within the generic percpu code.Reported-and-bisected-by: Sebastian Ott

The use of config_enabled() is ambiguous. For config options,
IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. will make intention clearer.
Sometimes config_enabled() has been used for non-config options because
it is useful to check whether the given symbol is defined or not.I have been tackling on deprecating config_enabled(), and now is the
time to finish this work.Some new users have appeared for v4.9-rc1, but it is trivial to replace
them:- arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c
replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() because
CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 and CONFIG_EFI are boolean.- include/asm-generic/export.h
replace config_enabled() with __is_defined().Then, config_enabled() can be removed now.
Going forward, please use IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. for config
options, and __is_defined() for non-config symbols.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1476616078-32252-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-5-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Some architectures require an additional load to find the address of
percpu pointers. In some implemenatations, the C aliasing rules do not
allow the result of that load to be kept over the store that modifies
the percpu variable, which causes additional loads.Work around this by finding the pointer first, then operating on that.
It's also possible to mark things as restrict and those kind of games,
but that can require larger and arch specific changes.On powerpc, __this_cpu_inc_return compiles to:

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error
This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false
positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to
be working fine here.Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning
This is another static warning which happens when I enable
__compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size
is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to
compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the
warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
code and the warning attribute is activated.)So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
__compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there
are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find
real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high.3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning
This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
object size.All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")
That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This
commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures
can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using
from assembler. The rest needs to have their define
everal macros and then explicitly includeOne area where the things might diverge from default is the alignment;
normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on 32bit ones, both for
unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol. Unfortunately, amd64 and
m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes (for both) and amd64 aligns
struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes. For those we'll need asm/export.h to
override the constants used by generic version - KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN
for kernel_symbol and unsigned long resp. And no, __alignof__ would not
do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__ of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16.More serious source of unpleasantness is treatment of function
descriptors on architectures that have those. Things like ppc64,
parisc, ia64, etc. need more than the address of the first insn to
call an arbitrary function. As the result, their representation of
pointers to functions is not the typical "address of the entry point" -
it's an address of a small static structure containing all the required
information (including the entry point, of course). Sadly, the asm-side
conventions differ in what the function name refers to - entry point or
the function descriptor. On ppc64 we do the latter;
bar: .quad foo
is what void (*bar)(void) = foo; turns into and the rare places where
we need to explicitly work with the label of entry point are dealt with
as DOTSYM(foo). For our purposes it's ideal - generic macros are usable.
However, parisc would have foo and P%foo used for label of entry point
and address of the function descriptor and
bar: .long P%foo
woudl be used instead. ia64 goes similar to parisc in that respect,
except that there it's @fptr(foo) rather than P%foo. Such architectures
need to define KSYM_FUNC that would turn a function name into whatever
is needed to refer to function descriptor.What's more, on such architectures we need to know whether we are exporting
a function or an object - in assembler we have to tell that explicitly, to
decide whether we want EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) produce e.g.
__ksymtab_foo: .quad foo
or
__ksymtab_foo: .quad @fptr(foo)For that reason we introduce EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), to be used for
exports of data objects. On normal architectures it's the same thing
as EXPORT_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), but on parisc-like ones they differ and the
right one needs to be used. Most of the exports are functions, so we
keep EXPORT_SYMBOL for those...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true
if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page
indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked
and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have
already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back.This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush
a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like
ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size
for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush
and starts a new mmu gather.[aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com: mm-change-the-interface-for-__tlb_remove_page-v3]

"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8

multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled and gcc is configured with
--disable-initfini-array and/or gold linker is used, gcc emits
.ctors/.dtors and .text.startup/.text.exit sections instead of
.init_array/.fini_array. .dtors section is not explicitly accounted in
the linker script and messes vvar/percpu layout.We want:

ffffffff8279e080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data
ffffffff827ae000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_pageThis happens because __vvar_page and .vvar get different addresses in

__vvar_page = .;.vvar : AT(ADDR(.vvar) - LOAD_OFFSET) {

Currently, if there was any irq or softirq time during 'ticks'
jiffies, the entire period will be accounted as irq or softirq
time.This is inaccurate if only a subset of the time was actually spent
handling irqs, and could conceivably mis-count all of the ticks during
a period as irq time, when there was some irq and some softirq time.This can actually happen when irqtime_account_process_tick is called
from account_idle_ticks, which can pass a larger number of ticks down
all at once.Fix this by changing irqtime_account_hi_update(), irqtime_account_si_update(),
and steal_account_process_ticks() to work with cputime_t time units, and
return the amount of time spent in each mode.Rename steal_account_process_ticks() to steal_account_process_time(), to
reflect that time is now accounted in cputime_t, instead of ticks.Additionally, have irqtime_account_process_tick() take into account how
much time was spent in each of steal, irq, and softirq time.The latter could help improve the accuracy of cputime
accounting when returning from idle on a NO_HZ_IDLE CPU.Properly accounting how much time was spent in hardirq and
softirq time will also allow the NO_HZ_FULL code to re-use
these same functions for hardirq and softirq accounting.Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel

With the inclusion of atomic FETCH-OP variants, many places in the
kernel can make use of atomic_fetch_$op() to avoid the callers that
need to compute the value/state _before_ the operation.Peter Zijlstra laid out the machinery but we are still missing the
simpler dec,inc() calls (which future patches will make use of).This patch only deals with the generic code, as at least right now
no arch actually implement them -- which is similar to what the
OP-RETURN primitives currently do.Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently
