      printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI · 42a0bb3f
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
      context.
      
      The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
      all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
      commit a9edc880 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
      CPUs").
      
      The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
      backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
      messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
      limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
      minimum).
      
      Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
      WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
      handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.
      
      This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
      for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
      
      The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
      leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
      main ring buffer in a safe context.
      
      __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
      Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
      writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
      flushers.
      
      We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
      would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
      It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
      
      The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
      Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
      architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
      HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
      
      The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
      handling there first.  Let's do it separately.
      
      The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

      exit_thread: remove empty bodies · 5f56a5df
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      Define HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for archs which want to do something in
      exit_thread. For others, let's define exit_thread as an empty inline.
      
      This is a cleanup before we change the prototype of exit_thread to
      accept a task parameter.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation fallout · 764e0da1
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
      include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
      broke them.
      
      Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
      include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.
      
      This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
      style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.
      
      For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
      moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
      a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
      by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.
