      x86/build: Mostly disable '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' · 3f135e57
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      The GCC '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' flag is enabled for most configs,
      mostly because of issues which are no longer relevant.  For most
      configs, and with most recent versions of GCC, it's no longer needed.
      
      Clarify which cases need it, and only enable it for those cases.  Also
      produce a compile-time error for the ftrace graph + mcount + '-Os' case,
      which will otherwise cause runtime failures.
      
      The main benefit of '-maccumulate-outgoing-args' is that it prevents an
      ugly prologue for functions which have aligned stacks.  But removing the
      option also has some benefits: more readable argument saves, smaller
      text size, and (presumably) slightly improved performance.
      
      Here are the object size savings for 32-bit and 64-bit defconfig
      kernels:
      
            text	   data	    bss	     dec	    hex	filename
        10006710	3543328	1773568	15323606	 e9d1d6	vmlinux.x86-32.before
         9706358	3547424	1773568	15027350	 e54c96	vmlinux.x86-32.after
      
            text	   data	    bss	     dec	    hex	filename
        10652105	4537576	 843776	16033457	 f4a6b1	vmlinux.x86-64.before
        10639629	4537576	 843776	16020981	 f475f5	vmlinux.x86-64.after
      
      That comes out to a 3% text size improvement on x86-32 and a 0.1% text
      size improvement on x86-64.

      x86/mm/KASLR: Exclude EFI region from KASLR VA space randomization · a46f60d7
      Baoquan He 提交于
      Currently KASLR is enabled on three regions: the direct mapping of physical
      memory, vamlloc and vmemmap. However the EFI region is also mistakenly
      included for VA space randomization because of misusing EFI_VA_START macro
      and assuming EFI_VA_START < EFI_VA_END.
      
      (This breaks kexec and possibly other things that rely on stable addresses.)
      
      The EFI region is reserved for EFI runtime services virtual mapping which
      should not be included in KASLR ranges. In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt,
      we can see:
      
        ffffffef00000000 - fffffffeffffffff (=64 GB) EFI region mapping space
      
      EFI uses the space from -4G to -64G thus EFI_VA_START > EFI_VA_END,
      Here EFI_VA_START = -4G, and EFI_VA_END = -64G.
      
      Changing EFI_VA_START to EFI_VA_END in mm/kaslr.c fixes this problem.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.
