This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using -fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example, which would look like this when the call is patched out: 1036b248: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b24c: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b250: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b254: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b258 <do_sys_open>: 1036b258: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1 1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp) 1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3 1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp) When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these NOPs to: 1036b248: 10 19 57 20 <address of ftrace> 1036b24c: 6f c1 00 80 stw,ma r1,40(sp) 1036b250: 48 21 3f d1 ldw -18(r1),r1 1036b254: e8 20 c0 02 bv,n r0(r1) 1036b258 <do_sys_open>: 1036b258: e8 3f 1f df b,l,n .-c,r1 1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1 1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp) 1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3 1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp) So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function, and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well. Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

A 64-bit kernel built without CONFIG_MLONGCALLS (-mlong-calls compiler option) usually fails to link because of unreachable functions. Try to work around that linking issue by moving the *.init and *.exit text segments closer to the main text segment. With that change those segments now don't get freed at runtime any longer, but since we in most cases run with huge-page enabled, we ignore the lost memory in preference of better performance. This change will not guarantee that every kernel config will now sucessfully build with short calls and without linking issues. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

The commit 1c30844d ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") breaks memory management on a parisc c8000 workstation with this memory layout: 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB With the patch 1c30844d, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. The parisc kernel is currently using the DISCONTIGMEM implementation, but isn't NUMA. Avoid this issue or strange work-arounds by switching to the more commonly used SPARSEMEM implementation.

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem: 1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c) 2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c) As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in rwsem-xadd.c over the years. For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c. All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM in the code are removed.

All new 32-bit architectures should have 64-bit userspace off_t type, but existing architectures has 32-bit ones. To enforce the rule, new config option is added to arch/Kconfig that defaults ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T to be disabled for new 32-bit architectures. All existing 32-bit architectures enable it explicitly. New option affects force_o_largefile() behaviour. Namely, if userspace off_t is 64-bits long, we have no reason to reject user to open big files. Note that even if architectures has only 64-bit off_t in the kernel (arc, c6x, h8300, hexagon, nios2, openrisc, and unicore32), a libc may use 32-bit off_t, and therefore want to limit the file size to 4GB unless specified differently in the open flags.

All architectures except for sparc64 use the dma-direct code in some form, and even for sparc64 we had the discussion of a direct mapping mode a while ago. In preparation for directly calling the direct mapping code don't bother having it optionally but always build the code in. This is a minor hardship for some powerpc and arm configs that don't pull it in yet (although they should in a relase ot two), and sparc64 which currently doesn't need it at all, but it will reduce the ifdef mess we'd otherwise need significantly.

With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy. GCC started to complain about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer. There is no NULL dereference, we just calculate address to struct member. It's technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it. But as long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine. -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any consequences. So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful for us. If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash. Even if userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like SMAP should catch the issue.

Drop our own compat binfmt implementation in arch/parisc/kernel/binfmt_elf32.c in favour of the generic implementation with CONFIG_COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF. While cleaning up the dependencies, I noticed that ELF_PLATFORM was strangely defined: On a 32-bit kernel, it was defined to "PARISC", while when running in compat mode on a 64-bit kernel it was defined to "PARISC32". Since it doesn't seem to be used in glibc yet, it's now defined in both cases to "PARISC". In any case, it can be distinguished because it's either a 32-bit or a 64-bit ELF file.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

By adding the feature to build the kernel as self-extracting executeable, the possibility to simply compress the kernel with gzip was lost. This patch now reintroduces this possibilty again and leaves it up to the user to decide how the kernel should be built. The palo bootloader is able to natively load both formats.

Patch series "Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or warn for inconsistencies", v3. While working on enabling queued rwlock on SPARC, found this following code in include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h which uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to clear a byte. static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock) { return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN); } Problem is many of the fixed big endian architectures don't define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and clears the wrong byte. Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture to fix it. Also found few more references of this config parameter in drivers/of/base.c drivers/of/fdt.c drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c Be aware that this may cause regressions if someone has worked-around problems in the above code already. Remove the work-around.

This patch adds full support to read PDT info on all machine types. At bootup the PDT is read and bad memory excluded from usage via memblock_reserve(). Later in the boot process a kernel thread is started (kpdtd) which regularily checks firmare for new reported bad memory and tries to soft offline pages in case of correctable errors and to kill processes and exclude such memory in case of uncorrectable errors via memory_failure().
