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or superseded by LTO, this may not be required.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 99492c39f39f ("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 07fca0e57fca92 ("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:
3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")
Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were
tied up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main
pieces are:
- Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs
that don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
- Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to
elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
instructions
- Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
mapped as executable
- Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
and made consistent between different fault types
- More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric
Biederman
- Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718
- Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi
- Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

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

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

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.
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. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.
The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:
init_thread_union
init_stack
INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

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.

that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in

CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)
[ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]
- Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)
Other changes:
- A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
Lutomirski)
- Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)
- Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
FPU init code (Andi Kleen)

KVM guest defines three per-CPU variables (steal-time, apf_reason, and
kvm_pic_eoi) which are shared between a guest and a hypervisor.
When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and if
the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor then it
must clear the C-bit (i.e set decrypted) before sharing it.
DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED can be used to define the per-CPU variables
which will be shared between a guest and a hypervisor.

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.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

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

/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.

LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured
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.
Example: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=150106824024221&w=2

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 new features of this release:
- Added TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() which allows trace events that use

- Some rework of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() such that the above

- Recording of tgid (Thread Group ID). This is similar to how task
COMMs are recorded (cached at sched_switch), where it is in a table
and used on output of the trace and trace_pipe files.
- Have ":mod:<module>" be cached when written into set_ftrace_filter.
Then the functions of the module will be traced at module load.

Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can
handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage
such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time.
Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold:
- .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections.
- .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32
- We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG
- DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted
- A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

The IORT linker section introduced by commit 34ceea275f62
("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.

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

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:

Since commit e647b532275b ("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.

When CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled we must ensure
that we still keep various programatically-accessed tables.
[npiggin: Fold Paul's patches into one, and add a few more tables.
diff symbol tables of allyesconfig with/without -gc-sections shows up
lost tables quite easily.]

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.
The problem was been uncovered by commit 56989f6d8568 ("genetlink: mark
families as __ro_after_init").

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.
This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
working on a patch to fix this.
Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
change prototypes.
- Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
Piggin
- fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.
- preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
-ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

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.

Enabling -ffunction-sections modified the generic linker script to
pull .text.* sections into regular TEXT_TEXT section, conflicting
with some architectures. Revert that change and require archs that
enable the option to ensure they have no conflicting section names,
and do the appropriate merging.

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.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..
And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"
