Now that we use the driver core to stop deferred probe for missing drivers, IOMMU_OF_DECLARE can be removed. This is slightly less optimal than having a list of built-in drivers in that we'll now defer probe twice before giving up. This shouldn't have a significant impact on boot times as past discussions about deferred probe have given no evidence of deferred probe having a substantial impact.

KEEP more tables, and add the function/data section wildcard to more section selections. This is a little ad-hoc at the moment, but kernel code should be moved to consistently use .text..x (note: double dots) for explicit sections and all references to it in the linker script can be made with TEXT_MAIN, and similarly for other sections. For now, let's see if major architectures move to enabling this option then we can do some refactoring passes. Otherwise if it remains unused or superseded by LTO, this may not be required.

Commit 99492c39 ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix __earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32 and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This fix was based on commit 07fca0e5 ("tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem. However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9 chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol "__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table". To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach by commits: 3d56e331 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array") 65498646 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array") e4a9ea5e ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array") Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for EARLYCON_TABLE.

Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form. >From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like: struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args { __u64 args[0]; }; int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx) { // program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint // and statically verified at program load+attach time } kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments. This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments. Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is. The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read() helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer. For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared. In assembler it looks like: (gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception: 0xffffffff81132080 <+0>: mov %ecx,%ecx 0xffffffff81132082 <+2>: jmpq 0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3> where TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception, TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev, const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act), The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64' to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is. All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text. This approach gives the lowest possible overhead while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and transitioning into bpf land. Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second this is valuable optimization. The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object. The user space looks like: // load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...); // receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd); Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and unregister tracepoint probe. On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe with tracepoint. Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel on the same tracepoint. Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted. Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs. In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with query/introspection logic. __bpf_raw_tp_map section logic was contributed by Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: NSteven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function. One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws, mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it. But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors. That is not what we want to test by error injection. To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each injectable function, this introduces injectable error types: - EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL. - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO if it fails. - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO (ERR_PTR) or NULL. ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for each function. e.g. ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO) This error types are shown in debugfs as below. ==== / # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list open_ctree [btrfs] ERRNO io_ctl_init [btrfs] ERRNO ==== Signed-off-by: NMasami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Some differences has been made: - "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures. - BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too. - CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this feature.

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

Using .text.unlikely for refcount exceptions isn't safe because gcc may move entire functions into .text.unlikely (e.g. in6_dev_dev()), which would cause any uses of a protected refcount_t function to stay inline with the function, triggering the protection unconditionally: .section .text.unlikely,"ax",@progbits .type in6_dev_get, @function in6_dev_getx: .LFB4673: .loc 2 4128 0 .cfi_startproc ... lock; incl 480(%rbx) js 111f .pushsection .text.unlikely 111: lea 480(%rbx), %rcx 112: .byte 0x0f, 0xff .popsection 113: This creates a unique .text..refcount section and adds an additional test to the exception handler to WARN in the case of having none of OF, SF, nor ZF set so we can see things like this more easily in the future. The double dot for the section name keeps it out of the TEXT_MAIN macro namespace, to avoid collisions and so it can be put at the end with text.unlikely to keep the cold code together.

When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, some functions are defined in the .data ELF section because we require them to be in RAM whenever we communicate with the flash chip. However this causes problems when FTRACE is enabled and gcc emits calls to __gnu_mcount_nc in the function prolog: drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_chip_setup': :(.data+0x272fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_probe_chip': :(.data+0x27de8): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o /tmp/ccY172rP.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccY172rP.s:70: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccY172rP.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_probe.o] Error 1 /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s:421: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_util.o] Error 1 /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s:1895: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors Specifically, this does not work because the .data section is not marked executable, which leads LD to not generate trampolines for long calls. This moves the __xipram functions into their own .xiptext section instead. The section is still placed next to .data and located in RAM but is marked executable, which avoids the build errors. Also, we only need to place the XIP functions into a separate section if both CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL and CONFIG_MTD_XIP are set: When only MTD_XIP is used, the whole kernel is still in RAM and we do not need to worry about pulling out the rug under it. When only XIP_KERNEL but not MTD_XIP is set, the kernel is in some form of ROM, but we never write to it. Note that MTD_XIP has been broken on ARM since around 2011 or 2012. I have sent another patch[2] to fix compilation, which I plan to merge through arm-soc unless there are objections. The obvious alternative to that would be to completely rip out the MTD_XIP support from the kernel, since obviously nobody has been using it in a long while.

The .data and .bss sections were modified in the generic linker script to pull in sections named .data.<C identifier>, which are generated by gcc with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections options. The problem with this pattern is it can also match section names that Linux defines explicitly, e.g., .data.unlikely. This can cause Linux sections to get moved into the wrong place. The way to avoid this is to use ".." separators for explicit section names (the dot character is valid in a section name but not a C identifier). However currently there are sections which don't follow this rule, so for now just disable the wild card by default.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

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.

A section name for .data..ro_after_init was added by both: commit d07a980c ("s390: add proper __ro_after_init support") and commit d7c19b06 ("mm: kmemleak: scan .data.ro_after_init") The latter adds incorrect wrapping around the existing s390 section, and came later. I'd prefer the s390 naming, so this moves the s390-specific name up to the asm-generic/sections.h and renames the section as used by kmemleak (and in the future, kernel/extable.c).

Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra variable. Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have printk() statements prior to triggering the trap. Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data: text data filename 10682460 4530992 defconfig-build/vmlinux.orig 10665111 4530096 defconfig-build/vmlinux.patched Suggested-by: NJosh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

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.

Limit the number of kmemleak false positives by including .data.ro_after_init in memory scanning. To achieve this we need to add symbols for start and end of the section to the linker scripts.

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.

Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now. On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving, it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link. text data bss dec filename 11169741 1180744 1923176 14273661 vmlinux 10445269 1004127 1919707 13369103 vmlinux.dce ~700K text, ~170K data, 6% removed from kernel image size.

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>

commit c74ba8b3 ("arch: Introduce post-init read-only memory") introduced the __ro_after_init attribute which allows to add variables to the ro_after_init data section. This new section was added to rodata, even though it contains writable data. This in turn causes problems on architectures which mark the page table entries read-only that point to rodata very early. This patch allows architectures to implement an own handling of the .data..ro_after_init section. Usually that would be: - mark the rodata section read-only very early - mark the ro_after_init section read-only within mark_rodata_ro Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
