Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27b at build-time. Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold: - .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections. - .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32 - We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG - DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted - A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

The IORT linker section introduced by commit 34ceea27 ("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.

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.

Since commit e647b532 ("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.

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.

Currently, the clksrc-probe is not able to handle any error from the init functions. There are different issues with the current code: - the code is duplicated in the init functions by writing error - every driver tends to panic in its own init function - counting the number of clocksources is not reliable This patch adds another table to store the functions returning an error. The table is temporary while we convert all the drivers to return an error and will disappear. Signed-off-by: NDaniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

One of the easiest ways to protect the kernel from attack is to reduce the internal attack surface exposed when a "write" flaw is available. By making as much of the kernel read-only as possible, we reduce the attack surface. Many things are written to only during __init, and never changed again. These cannot be made "const" since the compiler will do the wrong thing (we do actually need to write to them). Instead, move these items into a memory region that will be made read-only during mark_rodata_ro() which happens after all kernel __init code has finished. This introduces __ro_after_init as a way to mark such memory, and adds some documentation about the existing __read_mostly marking. This improves the security of the Linux kernel by marking formerly read-write memory regions as read-only on a fully booted up system. Based on work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.

Use a single common table of struct earlycon_id for both command line and devicetree. Re-define OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() macro to instance a unique earlycon declaration (the declaration is only guaranteed to be unique within a compilation unit; separate compilation units must still use unique earlycon names). The semantics of OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() is different; it declares an earlycon which can matched either on the command line or by devicetree. EARLYCON_DECLARE() is semantically unchanged; it declares an earlycon which is matched by command line only. Remove redundant instances of EARLYCON_DECLARE(). This enables all earlycons to properly initialize struct console with the appropriate name and index, which improves diagnostics and enables direct earlycon-to-console handoff.

IRQ controllers and timers are the two types of device the kernel requires before being able to use the device driver model. ACPI so far lacks a proper probing infrastructure similar to the one we have with DT, where we're able to declare IRQ chips and clocksources inside the driver code, and let the core code pick it up and call us back on a match. This leads to all kind of really ugly hacks all over the arm64 code and even in the ACPI layer. In order to allow some basic probing based on the ACPI tables, introduce "struct acpi_probe_entry" which contains just enough data and callbacks to match a table, an optional subtable, and call a probe function. A driver can, at build time, register itself and expect being called if the right entry exists in the ACPI table. A acpi_probe_device_table() is provided, taking an identifier for a set of acpi_prove_entries, and iterating over the registered entries.

When building a kernel with .text.unlikely text the unlikely text for each translation unit was put next to the main .text code in the final vmlinux. The problem is that the linker doesn't allow more specific submatches of a section name in a different linker script statement after the main match. So we need to move them all into one line. With that change .text.unlikely is at the end of everything again. I also moved .text.hot into the same statement though, even though that's not strictly needed.

Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

This introduces a new .text.fixup input section that gets emitted together with the .text section for each input object file. Note that *(.text) *(.text.fixup) is not the same as *(.text .text.fixup) and we are looking for the latter, to ensure that fixup snippets that are assembled into a separate section in the object file do not end up out of range for the relative branch instructions it contains if the .text section itself grows very large. This helps prevent linker failures on large ARM kernels.

Earlycon matching can only be triggered if 'earlycon=...' has been specified on the kernel command line. To workaround this limitation requires tight coupling between arches and specific serial drivers in order to start an earlycon. Devicetree avoids this limitation with a link table that contains the required data to match earlycons. Mirror this approach for earlycon match by name. Re-purpose EARLYCON_DECLARE to generate a table entry which associates name with setup() function. Re-purpose setup_earlycon() to scan this table for an earlycon match, which is registered if found. Declare one "earlycon" early_param, which calls setup_earlycon(). This design allows setup_earlycon() to be called directly with a param string (as if 'earlycon=...' had been set on the command line). Re-registration (either directly or by early_param) is prevented.

The current state of the different cpuidle drivers is the different PM operations are passed via the platform_data using the platform driver paradigm. This approach allowed to split the low level PM code from the arch specific and the generic cpuidle code. Unfortunately there are complaints about this approach as, in the context of the single kernel image, we have multiple drivers loaded in memory for nothing and the platform driver is not adequate for cpuidle. This patch provides a common interface via cpuidle ops for all new cpuidle driver and a definition for the device tree. It will allow with the next patches to a have a common definition with ARM64 and share the same cpuidle driver. The code is optimized to use the __init section intensively in order to reduce the memory footprint after the driver is initialized and unify the function names with ARM64.

KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global variables. Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces constructors with priority (.init_array.00099) Currently kernel ignores such constructors. Only constructors with default priority supported (.init_array) This patch adds support for constructors with priorities. For kernel image we put pointers to constructors between __ctors_start/__ctors_end and do_ctors() will call them on start up. For modules we merge .init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array. Module code properly handles constructors in .init_array section.

IOMMU drivers must be initialised before any of their upstream devices, otherwise the relevant iommu_ops won't be configured for the bus in question. To solve this, a number of IOMMU drivers use initcalls to initialise the driver before anything has a chance to be probed. Whilst this solves the immediate problem, it leaves the job of probing the IOMMU completely separate from the iommu_ops to configure the IOMMU, which are called on a per-bus basis and require the driver to figure out exactly which instance of the IOMMU is being requested. In particular, the add_device callback simply passes a struct device to the driver, which then has to parse firmware tables or probe buses to identify the relevant IOMMU instance. This patch takes the first step in addressing this problem by adding an early initialisation pass for IOMMU drivers, giving them the ability to store some per-instance data in their iommu_ops structure and store that in their of_node. This can later be used when parsing OF masters to identify the IOMMU instance in question.

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: NZhengyu He <hzy@google.com> Signed-off-by: NFilipe Brandenburger <filbranden@google.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Add pci_fixup_suspend_late as a new pci_fixup_pass. The pass is called from suspend_noirq and poweroff_noirq. Using the same pass for suspend and hibernate is consistent with resume_early which is called by resume_noirq and restore_noirq. The new quirk pass is required for Thunderbolt support on Apple hardware.
