-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 was under cc-option because it was only available in GCC 7.x and newer so the build is now broken for GCC 5.x and 6.x: gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5'; did you mean '-Wno-fallthrough'?

Add Kconfig support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough for both GCC and Clang. The compiler option is under configuration CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH, which is enabled by default. Special thanks to Nathan Chancellor who fixed the Clang bug[1][2]. This bugfix only appears in Clang 14.0.0, so older versions still contain the bug and -Wimplicit-fallthrough won't be enabled for them, for now. This concludes a long journey and now we are finally getting rid of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely. :) Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/9ed4a94d6451046a51ef393cd62f00710820a7e8 [1] Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51094 [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/115 Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/236Co-developed-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NGustavo A.

Memory allocators may disable interrupts or preemption as part of the allocation and freeing process. For PREEMPT_RT it is important that these sections remain deterministic and short and therefore don't depend on the size of the memory to allocate/ free or the inner state of the algorithm. Until v3.12-RT the SLAB allocator was an option but involved several changes to meet all the requirements. The SLUB design fits better with PREEMPT_RT model and so the SLAB patches were dropped in the 3.12-RT patchset. Comparing the two allocator, SLUB outperformed SLAB in both throughput (time needed to allocate and free memory) and the maximal latency of the system measured with cyclictest during hackbench. SLOB was never evaluated since it was unlikely that it preforms better than SLAB. During a quick test, the kernel crashed with SLOB enabled during boot. Disable SLAB and SLOB on PREEMPT_RT.

TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE: There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if khugepaged is disabled. Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used. NUMA_BALANCING: There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.

The cross-product of the kernel's supported toolchains, architectures, and configuration options is large. So large, that it's generally accepted to be infeasible to enumerate and build+test them all (many compile-testers rely on randomly generated configs). Without the possibility to enumerate all possible combinations of toolchains, architectures, and configuration options, it is inevitable that compiler warnings in this space exist. With -Werror, this means that an innumerable set of kernels are now broken, yet had been perfectly usable before (confused compilers, code with warnings unused, or luck). Distributors will necessarily pick a point in the toolchain X arch X config space, and if unlucky, will have a broken build. Granted, those will likely disable CONFIG_WERROR and move on. The kernel's default configuration is unlikely to be suitable for all users, but it's inappropriate to force many users to set CONFIG_WERROR=n. This also holds for CI systems which are focused on runtime testing, where the odd warning in some subsystem will disrupt testing of the rest of the kernel. Many of those runtime-focused CI systems run tests or fuzz the kernel using runtime debugging tools. Runtime testing of different subsystems can proceed in parallel, and potentially uncover serious bugs; halting runtime testing of the entire kernel because of the odd warning (now error) in a subsystem or driver is simply inappropriate. Therefore, runtime-focused CI systems will likely choose CONFIG_WERROR=n as well. The appropriate usecase for -Werror is therefore compile-test focused builds (often done by developers or CI systems). Reflect this in the Kconfig option by making the default value of WERROR match COMPILE_TEST.

... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable it when required. We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them. But while I fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings. So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular issues. Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation. Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place. Knock wood.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough. There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk deferred printing: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c kernel/trace/trace.c For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the same objective. For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was added in commit 03fc7f9c ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context. It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context. There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled transparently in vprintk().

We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

This reverts commit 78869146. It's not clear why, but it causes unexplained problems in entirely unrelated xfs code. The most likely explanation is some slab corruption, possibly triggered due to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. See [1]. It ends up having a few other problems too, like build errors on arch/arc, and Geert reporting it using much more memory on m68k [3] (it probably does so elsewhere too, but it is probably just more noticeable on m68k). The architecture issues (both build and memory use) are likely just because this change effectively force-enabled STACKDEPOT (along with a very bad default value for the stackdepot hash size). But together with the xfs issue, this all smells like "this commit was not ready" to me.

We don't want compiler instrumentation to touch noinstr functions, which are annotated with the no_profile_instrument_function function attribute. Add a Kconfig test for this and make GCOV depend on it, and in the future, PGO. If an architecture is using noinstr, it should denote that via this Kconfig value. That makes Kconfigs that depend on noinstr able to express dependencies in an architecturally agnostic way.

Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[] string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1] When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is a waste of time. This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such (known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer. For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting reset. [1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9. Overview ======== This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS. When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also* get events for "minor" faults. By "minor" fault, I mean the following situation: Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared memory). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing page. We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE. The idea is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something fancier like RDMA, or etc...). In either case, userspace issues UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are correct, carry on setting up the mapping". Use Case ======== Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM): 1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running (and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough". 2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine. During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to minimize this window. 3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete. 4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date, and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are correct, carry on setting up the mapping". We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of which pages are up-to-date or not. Interaction with Existing APIs ============================== Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both missing and minor faults. I spent some time thinking through how the existing API interacts with the new feature: UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not allocate a new page. If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault: - For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned. - For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned. UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults. Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to be allocated. This is okay, since userspace must have a second non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar). - If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned. - If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case). - UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns -ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault). Future Work =========== This series only supports hugetlbfs. I have a second series in flight to support shmem as well, extending the functionality. This series is more mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem support will follow. This patch (of 6): This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults. By "minor" faults, I mean the following situation: Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing page. This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on the VMAs being registered. In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it. This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature. This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks [1]. However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new registration mode.

BPF has three formatted output helpers: bpf_trace_printk, bpf_seq_printf and bpf_snprintf. Their signatures specify that all arguments are provided from the BPF world as u64s (in an array or as registers). All of these helpers are currently implemented by calling functions such as snprintf() whose signatures take a variable number of arguments, then placed in a va_list by the compiler to call vsnprintf(). "d9c9e4db bpf: Factorize bpf_trace_printk and bpf_seq_printf" introduced a bpf_printf_prepare function that fills an array of u64 sanitized arguments with an array of "modifiers" which indicate what the "real" size of each argument should be (given by the format specifier). The BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG macro consumes these arrays and casts each argument to its real size. However, the C promotion rules implicitely cast them all back to u64s. Therefore, the arguments given to snprintf are u64s and the va_list constructed by the compiler will use 64 bits for each argument. On 64 bit machines, this happens to work well because 32 bit arguments in va_lists need to occupy 64 bits anyway, but on 32 bit architectures this breaks the layout of the va_list expected by the called function and mangles values. In "88a5c690 bpf: fix bpf_trace_printk on 32 bit archs", this problem had been solved for bpf_trace_printk only with a "horrid workaround" that emitted multiple calls to trace_printk where each call had different argument types and generated different va_list layouts. One of the call would be dynamically chosen at runtime. This was ok with the 3 arguments that bpf_trace_printk takes but bpf_seq_printf and bpf_snprintf accept up to 12 arguments. Because this approach scales code exponentially, it is not a viable option anymore. Because the promotion rules are part of the language and because the construction of a va_list is an arch-specific ABI, it's best to just avoid variadic arguments and va_lists altogether. Thankfully the kernel's snprintf() has an alternative in the form of bstr_printf() that accepts arguments in a "binary buffer representation". These binary buffers are currently created by vbin_printf and used in the tracing subsystem to split the cost of printing into two parts: a fast one that only dereferences and remembers values, and a slower one, called later, that does the pretty-printing. This patch refactors bpf_printf_prepare to construct binary buffers of arguments consumable by bstr_printf() instead of arrays of arguments and modifiers. This gets rid of BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG and greatly simplifies the bpf_printf_prepare usage but there are a few gotchas that change how bpf_printf_prepare needs to do things. Currently, bpf_printf_prepare uses a per cpu temporary buffer as a generic storage for strings and IP addresses. With this refactoring, the temporary buffers now holds all the arguments in a structured binary format. To comply with the format expected by bstr_printf, certain format specifiers also need to be pre-formatted: %pB and %pi6/%pi4/%pI4/%pI6. Because vsnprintf subroutines for these specifiers are hard to expose, we pre-format these arguments with calls to snprintf().

Documentation/process/changes.rst defines the minimum assembler version (binutils version), but we have never checked it in the build time. Kbuild never invokes 'as' directly because all assembly files in the kernel tree are *.S, hence must be preprocessed. I do not expect raw assembly source files (*.s) would be added to the kernel tree. Therefore, we always use $(CC) as the assembler driver, and commit aa824e0c ("kbuild: remove AS variable") removed 'AS'. However, we are still interested in the version of the assembler acting behind. As usual, the --version option prints the version string. $ as --version | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 But, we do not have $(AS). So, we can add the -Wa prefix so that $(CC) passes --version down to the backing assembler. $ gcc -Wa,--version | head -n 1 gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. OK, we need to input something to satisfy gcc. $ gcc -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 The combination of Clang and GNU assembler works in the same way: $ clang -no-integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1 Clang with the integrated assembler fails like this: $ clang -integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1 clang: error: unsupported argument '--version' to option 'Wa,' For the last case, checking the error message is fragile. If the proposal for -Wa,--version support [1] is accepted, this may not be even an error in the future. One easy way is to check if -integrated-as is present in the passed arguments. We did not pass -integrated-as to CLANG_FLAGS before, but we can make it explicit. Nathan pointed out -integrated-as is the default for all of the architectures/targets that the kernel cares about, but it goes along with "explicit is better than implicit" policy. [2] With all this in my mind, I implemented scripts/as-version.sh to check the assembler version in Kconfig time. $ scripts/as-version.sh gcc GNU 23501 $ scripts/as-version.sh clang -no-integrated-as GNU 23501 $ scripts/as-version.sh clang -integrated-as LLVM 0 [1]: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1320 [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kbuild/20210307044253.v3h47ucq6ng25iay@archlinux-ax161/Signed-off-by: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NNathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

allnoconfig_y is an ugly hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig. allnoconfig does not mean a minimal set of CONFIG options because a bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do not like to hack Kconfig this way. Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced when allnoconfig is invoked as a part of tinyconfig. No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'. The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not exist yet. This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the "string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files. They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in the parse stage. It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach. Signed-off-by: NMasahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored function pointers. For more details, see: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between independently compiled components. With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address() to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x. Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables, the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes __cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function with the address of the jump table entry. Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local to each component, they break cross-module function address equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module, it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other components. CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute. Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI. By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but should only be enabled during development.

The Miscellaneous cgroup provides the resource limiting and tracking mechanism for the scalar resources which cannot be abstracted like the other cgroup resources. Controller is enabled by the CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC config option. A resource can be added to the controller via enum misc_res_type{} in the include/linux/misc_cgroup.h file and the corresponding name via misc_res_name[] in the kernel/cgroup/misc.c file. Provider of the resource must set its capacity prior to using the resource by calling misc_cg_set_capacity(). Once a capacity is set then the resource usage can be updated using charge and uncharge APIs. All of the APIs to interact with misc controller are in include/linux/misc_cgroup.h. Miscellaneous controller provides 3 interface files. If two misc resources (res_a and res_b) are registered then: misc.capacity A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup. It shows miscellaneous scalar resources available on the platform along with their quantities:: $ cat misc.capacity res_a 50 res_b 10 misc.current A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups. It shows the current usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children:: $ cat misc.current res_a 3 res_b 0 misc.max A read-write flat-keyed file shown in the non root cgroups. Allowed maximum usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.:: $ cat misc.max res_a max res_b 4 Limit can be set by:: # echo res_a 1 > misc.max Limit can be set to max by:: # echo res_a max > misc.max Limits can be set more than the capacity value in the misc.capacity file.

I read the commit log of the following two: - bc083a64 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML") - 334ef6ed ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390") Both are talking about HAS_IOMEM dependency missing in many drivers. So, 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' seems the direct, sensible solution to me. This does not change the behavior of UML. UML still cannot enable COMPILE_TEST because it does not provide HAS_IOMEM. The current dependency for S390 is too strong. Under the condition of CONFIG_PCI=y, S390 provides HAS_IOMEM, hence can enable COMPILE_TEST. I also removed the meaningless 'default n'.

The removal of EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() in commit 36794822 looks like (and was sold as) a no-op, but it actually had a rather serious and subtle side effect: the UNUSED_SYMBOLS option not only enabled the removed (unused) functionality, it also _disabled_ the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS functionality. And it turns out that TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is a huge time waste, and takes up a third of the kernel build time for me. For no actual upside, since no distro is likely to ever be able to enable it (because they all support external kernel modules). Rather than re-enable EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL, this just disables the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option by marking it broken. I'm tempted to just remove the support entirely, but maybe somebody has a use-case and can fix the behavior of it. I could have just disabled it for COMPILE_TEST, but it really smells like the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option is badly done and not really useful, so this takes the more direct approach - let's see if anybody ever actually notices or complains.

Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category. Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store. Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.

Paul Gortmaker reported a regression in the GCC version check. [1] If you use GCC 4.8, the build breaks before showing the error message "error Sorry, your version of GCC is too old - please use 4.9 or newer." I do not want to apply his fix-up since it implies we would not be able to remove any cc-option test. Anyway, I admit checking the GCC version in <linux/compiler-gcc.h> is too late. Almost at the same time, Linus also suggested to move the compiler version error to Kconfig time. [2] I unified the two similar scripts, gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh into cc-version.sh. The old scripts invoked the compiler multiple times (3 times for gcc-version.sh, 4 times for clang-version.sh). I refactored the code so the new one invokes the compiler just once, and also tried my best to use shell-builtin commands where possible. The new script runs faster. $ time ./scripts/clang-version.sh clang 120000 real 0m0.029s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.021s $ time ./scripts/cc-version.sh clang Clang 120000 real 0m0.009s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.004s cc-version.sh also shows an error message if the compiler is too old: $ make defconfig CC=clang-9 *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' *** *** Compiler is too old. *** Your Clang version: 9.0.1 *** Minimum Clang version: 10.0.1 *** scripts/Kconfig.include:46: Sorry, this compiler is not supported. make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:81: defconfig] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:602: defconfig] Error 2 The new script takes care of ICC because we have <linux/compiler-intel.h> although I am not sure if building the kernel with ICC is well-supported.

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call them again. Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls. Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now, since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary ones.
