commit dd709e72cb934eefd44de8d9969097173fbf45dc upstream.
Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.Fixes: 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride")

[ Upstream commit 564c9cc84e2adf8a6671c1937f0a9fe3da2a4b0e ]
Using .text.unlikely for refcount exceptions isn't safe because gcc may
move entire functions into .text.unlikely (e.g. in6_dev_dev()), which
would cause any uses of a protected refcount_t function to stay inline
with the function, triggering the protection unconditionally:.section .text.unlikely,"ax",@progbits
.type in6_dev_get, @function
in6_dev_getx:
.LFB4673:
.loc 2 4128 0
.cfi_startproc
...
lock; incl 480(%rbx)
js 111f
.pushsection .text.unlikely
111: lea 480(%rbx), %rcx
112: .byte 0x0f, 0xff
.popsection
113:This creates a unique .text..refcount section and adds an additional
test to the exception handler to WARN in the case of having none of OF,
SF, nor ZF set so we can see things like this more easily in the future.The double dot for the section name keeps it out of the TEXT_MAIN macro
namespace, to avoid collisions and so it can be put at the end with
text.unlikely to keep the cold code together.See commit:
cb87481ee89db ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured")
... which matches C names: [a-zA-Z0-9_] but not ".".

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)- Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)

When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, some functions are defined in the .data
ELF section because we require them to be in RAM whenever we communicate
with the flash chip. However this causes problems when FTRACE is
enabled and gcc emits calls to __gnu_mcount_nc in the function

:(.data+0x272fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o

/tmp/ccUvhCYR.s:1895: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data
/tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errorsSpecifically, this does not work because the .data section is not
marked executable, which leads LD to not generate trampolines for
long calls.This moves the __xipram functions into their own .xiptext section instead.
The section is still placed next to .data and located in RAM but is marked
executable, which avoids the build errors.Also, we only need to place the XIP functions into a separate section
if both CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL and CONFIG_MTD_XIP are set: When only MTD_XIP
is used, the whole kernel is still in RAM and we do not need to worry
about pulling out the rug under it. When only XIP_KERNEL but not MTD_XIP
is set, the kernel is in some form of ROM, but we never write to it.Note that MTD_XIP has been broken on ARM since around 2011 or 2012. I
have sent another patch[2] to fix compilation, which I plan to merge
through arm-soc unless there are objections. The obvious alternative
to that would be to completely rip out the MTD_XIP support from the
kernel, since obviously nobody has been using it in a long while.Link: [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8109771/

The .data and .bss sections were modified in the generic linker script to
pull in sections named .data., which are generated by gcc with
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections options.The problem with this pattern is it can also match section names that Linux
defines explicitly, e.g., .data.unlikely. This can cause Linux sections to
get moved into the wrong place.The way to avoid this is to use ".." separators for explicit section names
(the dot character is valid in a section name but not a C identifier).
However currently there are sections which don't follow this rule, so for
now just disable the wild card by default.Example: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=150106824024221&w=2

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

The IORT linker section introduced by commit 34ceea275f62
("ACPI/IORT: Introduce linker section for IORT entries probing")
was needed to make sure SMMU drivers are registered (and therefore
probed) in the kernel before devices using the SMMU have a chance
to probe in turn.Through the introduction of deferred IOMMU configuration the linker
section based IORT probing infrastructure is not needed any longer, in
that device/SMMU probe dependencies are managed through the probe
deferral mechanism, making the IORT linker section infrastructure
unused, so that it can be removed.Remove the unused IORT linker section probing infrastructure
from the kernel to complete the ACPI IORT IOMMU configure probe
deferral mechanism implementation.Tested-by: Hanjun Guo

When __{start,end}_ro_after_init is referenced from C code, we run into
the following build errors on blackfin:kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__start_ro_after_init'
kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__end_ro_after_init'The build error is due to the fact that blackfin is one of the few
arches that prepends an underscore '_' to all symbols defined in C.Fix this by wrapping __{start,end}_ro_after_init in vmlinux.lds.h with
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(), which adds the necessary prefix for arches that have
HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1491259387-15869-1-git-send-email-jeyu@redhat.com

A section name for .data..ro_after_init was added by both:
commit d07a980c1b8d ("s390: add proper __ro_after_init support")
and
commit d7c19b066dcf ("mm: kmemleak: scan .data.ro_after_init")
The latter adds incorrect wrapping around the existing s390 section, and
came later. I'd prefer the s390 naming, so this moves the s390-specific
name up to the asm-generic/sections.h and renames the section as used by
kmemleak (and in the future, kernel/extable.c).Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170327192213.GA129375@beast

Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a
bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra
variable.Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have
printk() statements prior to triggering the trap.Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data:

Since commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing
infrastructure") the kernel has gained the infrastructure that allows
adding linker script section entries to execute ACPI driver callbacks
(ie probe routines) for all subsystems that register a table entry
in the respective kernel section (eg clocksource, irqchip).Since ARM IOMMU devices data is described through IORT tables when
booting with ACPI, the ARM IOMMU drivers must be made able to hook ACPI
callback routines that are called to probe IORT entries and initialize
the respective IOMMU devices.To avoid adding driver specific hooks into IORT table initialization
code (breaking therefore code modularity - ie ACPI IORT code must be made
aware of ARM SMMU drivers ACPI init callbacks), this patch adds code
that allows ARM SMMU drivers to take advantage of the ACPI early probing
infrastructure, so that they can add linker script section entries
containing drivers callback to be executed on IORT tables detection.Since IORT nodes are differentiated by a type, the callback routines
can easily parse the IORT table entries, check the IORT nodes and
carry out some actions whenever the IORT node type associated with
the driver specific callback is matched.Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi

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

Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.text data bss dec filename

"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

commit c74ba8b3480d ("arch: Introduce post-init read-only memory")
introduced the __ro_after_init attribute which allows to add variables
to the ro_after_init data section.This new section was added to rodata, even though it contains writable
data. This in turn causes problems on architectures which mark the
page table entries read-only that point to rodata very early.This patch allows architectures to implement an own handling of the
.data..ro_after_init section.
Usually that would be:
- mark the rodata section read-only very early
- mark the ro_after_init section read-only within mark_rodata_roSigned-off-by: Heiko Carstens
