Improve vmlinux.lds.h support for arch specific linker scripts To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced in line count and their readability are improved - IMO. A sample linker script is included to give the preferred order of the sections for the architectures that do not have any special requirments. These definitions are also a first step towards eventual support for -ffunction-sections. The definitions makes it much easier to do a global renaming of section names - but the main purpose is to clean up the linker scripts. Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve the definitions - all faults are mine. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu>

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macros The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

linker script: unify usage of discard definition Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining tedious and adding new entries error-prone. This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script. ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion. defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64, alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.

Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro. This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

kbuild: Avoid inconsistent kallsyms data Several reports on inconsistent kallsyms data has been caused by the aliased symbols __sched_text_start and __down to shift places in the output of nm. The root cause was that on second pass ld aligned __sched_text_start to a 4 byte boundary which is the function alignment on i386. sched.text and spinlock.text is now aligned to an 8 byte boundary to make sure they are aligned to a function alignemnt on most (all?) archs.

kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless 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.

vmlinux.lds.h: Fix linker warnings about orphan .LPBX sections Enabling both CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y and CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y results in linker warnings: warning: orphan section `.data..LPBX1' being placed in section `.data..LPBX1'. LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION adds compiler flag -fdata-sections. This option causes GCC to create separate data sections for data objects, including those generated by GCC internally for gcov profiling. The names of these objects start with a dot (.LPBX0, .LPBX1), resulting in section names starting with 'data..'. As section names starting with 'data..' are used for specific purposes in the Linux kernel, the linker script does not automatically include them in the output data section, resulting in the "orphan section" linker warnings. Fix this by specifically including sections named "data..LPBX*" in the data section.

tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols We define a number of symbols in the linker scipt like this: __start_syscalls_metadata = .; *(__syscalls_metadata) But we do not know the alignment of "." when we assign the __start_syscalls_metadata symbol. gcc started to uses bigger alignment for structs (32 bytes), so we saw situations where the linker due to alignment constraints increased the value of "." after the symbol assignment. This resulted in boot fails. Fix this by forcing a 32 byte alignment of "." before the assignment. This patch introduces the forced alignment for ftrace_events and syscalls_metadata.

To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

#define STRUCT_ALIGNMENT 32
#define STRUCT_ALIGN() . = ALIGN(STRUCT_ALIGNMENT)
tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols We define a number of symbols in the linker scipt like this: __start_syscalls_metadata = .; *(__syscalls_metadata) But we do not know the alignment of "." when we assign the __start_syscalls_metadata symbol. gcc started to uses bigger alignment for structs (32 bytes), so we saw situations where the linker due to alignment constraints increased the value of "." after the symbol assignment. This resulted in boot fails. Fix this by forcing a 32 byte alignment of "." before the assignment. This patch introduces the forced alignment for ftrace_events and syscalls_metadata. It may be required in more places.

ftrace: create __mcount_loc section This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc". This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for each call site of mcount. For example: objdump -dr init/main.o [...] Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>: 0: 55 push %rbp [...] 000000000000017b <init_post>: 17b: 55 push %rbp 17c: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 17f: 53 push %rbx 180: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp 184: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 189 <init_post+0xe> 185: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc [...] We will add a section to point to each function call. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad .text + 0x185 [...] The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post. The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the .text section. .text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these .text sections are. To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section. do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference to the start of the .text section. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad do_one_initcall + 0x185 [...] Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o And link it into back into main.o. ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o mv tmp_main.o main.o But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well. Disassembly of section .init.text: 0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>: 0: 55 push %rbp 1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <set_reset_devices+0x9> 5: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc The first function in .init.text is a static function. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported. If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end up with two symbols: one local and one global. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits .quad set_reset_devices + 0x10 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices U set_reset_devices We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else, and then we will have a reference to the wrong location. To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy. We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.

#ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
parisc: add dynamic ftrace 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.

ftrace: __start_mcount_loc should be .init.rodata __start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead, __start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end) so that the space is reclaimed after init. __start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared '__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init. __start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is* read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA. This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

These numbers can later be retrieved by: /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers. # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | head correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 2167 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832 0 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804 2670 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34 71230 5693 7 __switch_to process_64.c 673 76919 0 0 __switch_to process_64.c 639 43184 33743 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12740 64181 83 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12740 64174 83 __switch_to process_64.c 590 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | \ awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' |head -20 44963 35259 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12762 67454 84 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12762 67447 84 __switch_to process_64.c 590 1478 595 28 syscall_get_error syscall.h 51 0 2821 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1567 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1237 86338 265881 75 calc_delta_fair sched_fair.c 408 210410 108540 34 calc_delta_mine sched.c 1267 0 54550 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 51899 66435 56 pick_next_task_fair sched_fair.c 1422 6 10 62 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 982 7325 2692 26 rt_policy sched.c 144 0 1270 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1261 1268 48073 97 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 884 0 45181 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8700 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8690 53167 33217 38 schedule sched.c 4457 0 80208 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 30585 49631 61 context_switch sched.c 2619 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_likely | awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' 39900 36577 47 pick_next_task sched.c 4397 20824 15233 42 switch_mm mmu_context_64.h 18 0 7 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 617 66484 99 clocksource_adjust timekeeping.c 456 0 346340 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1570 38 347350 99 audit_get_context auditsc.c 732 0 345244 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1541 38 1017 96 audit_free auditsc.c 1446 0 1090 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 862 2618 1090 29 audit_alloc auditsc.c 858 0 6 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 9 1 198 99 probe_sched_wakeup trace_sched_switch.c 58 2 2 50 probe_wakeup trace_sched_wakeup.c 227 0 2 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 144 4514 2090 31 __grab_cache_page filemap.c 2149 12882 228786 94 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 4 11 73 __flush_cpu_slab slub.c 1466 627757 330451 34 slab_free slub.c 1731 2959 61245 95 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 946 1217 56 load_elf_binary binfmt_elf.c 904 102 82 44 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 1 1 50 dst_gc_task dst.c 82 0 19 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1126 As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits that were more than 25%. Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch. (*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION
error-injection: Add injectable error types 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: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

tracing/infrastructure: separate event tracer from event support Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g. bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected. So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events (what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

#ifdef CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING
tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the events are processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up.

tracing: add event trace infrastructure This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace. It will create the files: /debug/tracing/available_events /debug/tracing/set_event The available_events will list the trace points that have been registered with the event tracer. set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook. example: # echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered). # echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event). # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event Will disable all events (notice the '>') # cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event Will enable all registered event hooks.

tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space). But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string itself is. The end result is just output that looks like: rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally we would want something that looks like this: rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5 rcu_dyntick: End 0 1 The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format file in the debugfs tracing directory. The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher the address without any modification. The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use the trace_printk sections. Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output of the printk_format file. Cc: Paul E.

#ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS
tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall data is processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

serial: earlycon: Enable earlycon without command line param Earlycon matching can only be triggered if 'earlycon=...' has been specified on the kernel command line. To workaround this limitation requires tight coupling between arches and specific serial drivers in order to start an earlycon. Devicetree avoids this limitation with a link table that contains the required data to match earlycons. Mirror this approach for earlycon match by name. Re-purpose EARLYCON_DECLARE to generate a table entry which associates name with setup() function. Re-purpose setup_earlycon() to scan this table for an earlycon match, which is registered if found. Declare one "earlycon" early_param, which calls setup_earlycon(). This design allows setup_earlycon() to be called directly with a param string (as if 'earlycon=...' had been set on the command line). Re-registration (either directly or by early_param) is prevented.

earlycon: Use a pointer table to fix __earlycon_table stride 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.

serial: earlycon: Enable earlycon without command line param Earlycon matching can only be triggered if 'earlycon=...' has been specified on the kernel command line. To workaround this limitation requires tight coupling between arches and specific serial drivers in order to start an earlycon. Devicetree avoids this limitation with a link table that contains the required data to match earlycons. Mirror this approach for earlycon match by name. Re-purpose EARLYCON_DECLARE to generate a table entry which associates name with setup() function. Re-purpose setup_earlycon() to scan this table for an earlycon match, which is registered if found. Declare one "earlycon" early_param, which calls setup_earlycon(). This design allows setup_earlycon() to be called directly with a param string (as if 'earlycon=...' had been set on the command line). Re-registration (either directly or by early_param) is prevented.

of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

irqchip: add basic infrastructure With the recent creation of the drivers/irqchip/ directory, it is desirable to move irq controller drivers here. At the moment, the only driver here is irq-bcm2835, the driver for the irq controller found in the ARM BCM2835 SoC, present in Rasberry Pi systems. This irq controller driver was exporting its initialization function and its irq handling function through a header file in <linux/irqchip/bcm2835.h>. When proposing to also move another irq controller driver in drivers/irqchip, Rob Herring raised the very valid point that moving things to drivers/irqchip was good in order to remove more stuff from arch/arm, but if it means adding gazillions of headers files in include/linux/irqchip/, it would not be very nice. So, upon the suggestion of Rob Herring and Arnd Bergmann, this commit introduces a small infrastructure that defines a central irqchip_init() function in drivers/irqchip/irqchip.c, which is meant to be called as the ->init_irq() callback of ARM platforms. This function calls of_irq_init() with an array of match strings and init functions generated from a special linker section. Note that the irq controller driver initialization function is responsible for setting the global handle_arch_irq() variable, so that ARM platforms no longer have to define the ->handle_irq field in their DT_MACHINE structure. A global header, <linux/irqchip.h> is also added to expose the single irqchip_init() function to the reset of the kernel. A further commit moves the BCM2835 irq controller driver to this new small infrastructure, therefore removing the include/linux/irqchip/ directory.

ARM: cpuidle: Add a cpuidle ops structure to be used for DT The current state of the different cpuidle drivers is the different PM operations are passed via the platform_data using the platform driver paradigm. This approach allowed to split the low level PM code from the arch specific and the generic cpuidle code. Unfortunately there are complaints about this approach as, in the context of the single kernel image, we have multiple drivers loaded in memory for nothing and the platform driver is not adequate for cpuidle. This patch provides a common interface via cpuidle ops for all new cpuidle driver and a definition for the device tree. It will allow with the next patches to a have a common definition with ARM64 and share the same cpuidle driver. The code is optimized to use the __init section intensively in order to reduce the memory footprint after the driver is initialized and unify the function names with ARM64.

ARM: Introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() for cpu hotplug/smp The goal of multi-platform kernels is to remove the need for mach directories and machine descriptors. To further that goal, introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to allow cpu hotplug/smp support to be separated from the machine descriptors. Implementers should specify an enable-method property in their cpus node and then implement a matching set of smp_ops in their hotplug/smp code, wiring it up with the CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() macro. When the kernel is compiled we'll collect all the enable-method smp_ops into one section for use at boot. At boot time we'll look for an enable-method in each cpu node and try to match that against all known CPU enable methods in the kernel. If there are no enable-methods in the cpu nodes we fallback to the cpus node and try to use any enable-method found there. If that doesn't work we fall back to the old way of using the machine descriptor.

ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure IRQ controllers and timers are the two types of device the kernel requires before being able to use the device driver model. ACPI so far lacks a proper probing infrastructure similar to the one we have with DT, where we're able to declare IRQ chips and clocksources inside the driver code, and let the core code pick it up and call us back on a match. This leads to all kind of really ugly hacks all over the arm64 code and even in the ACPI layer. In order to allow some basic probing based on the ACPI tables, introduce "struct acpi_probe_entry" which contains just enough data and callbacks to match a table, an optional subtable, and call a probe function. A driver can, at build time, register itself and expect being called if the right entry exists in the ACPI table. A acpi_probe_device_table() is provided, taking an identifier for a set of acpi_prove_entries, and iterating over the registered entries.

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.

kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless 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.

*(DATA_MAIN) \
Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst Today we have the following annotations for functions/data referencing __init/__exit functions / data: __init_refok => for init functions __initdata_refok => for init data __exit_refok => for exit functions There is really no difference between the __init and __exit versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation the following new annotations are introduced: __ref => for functions (code) that references __*init / __*exit __refdata => for variables __refconst => for const variables Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation is for and there is no longer the arbitary division between __init and __exit code. The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section is created which is made part of the usual sections in the linker script. We will start to see annotations like this: -static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = { +static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = { ----------------- -static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier = +static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata = ---------------- -static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, +static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, [The above is just random samples].

vmlinux.lds.h: gather .data..shared_aligned sections in DATA_DATA With the recent change "net: remove time limit in process_backlog()", the softnet_data variable changed from "DEFINE_PER_CPU()" to "DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED()" which moved it from the .data section to the .data.shared_align section. I'm not saying this patch is wrong, just that is what caused me to notice this larger problem. No one else in the kernel is using this aligned macro variant, so I imagine that's why no one has noticed yet. Since .data..shared_align isn't declared in any vmlinux files that I can see, the linker just places it last. This "just works" for most people, but when building a ROM kernel on Blackfin systems, it causes section overlap errors: bfin-uclinux-ld.real: section .init.data [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e48b7] overlaps section .data.shared_aligned [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e0723] I imagine other arches which support the ROM config option and thus do funky placement would see similar issues ... On x86, it is stuck in a dedicated section at the end: [8] .data PROGBITS ffffffff810ec000 2ec0000303a8 00 WA 0 0 4096 [9] .data.shared_alig PROGBITS ffffffff8111c3c0 31c3c00000c8 00 WA 0 0 64 So make sure we include this section in the DATA_DATA macro so that it is placed in the right location.

kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE 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.

tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

STRUCT_ALIGN(); \
tracing: Kernel Tracepoints Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for usage examples. Taken from the documentation patch : "A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe) that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is "off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data structure in a separate section). When a tracepoint is "on", the function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint site). You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header file." Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state (this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched() with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses "preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()". We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_ tracepoints. Changelog : - Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with the same name in a different header. - Add tracepoint_entry_free_old. - Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator. Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> : Tested on x86-64. Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller (changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it also saves the d-cache hit). About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added. Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers : I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server. While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from the viewpoint of performance impact. I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS. I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL: http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and difference between the kernels. The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800 The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8 Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases, differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences doesn't increase either. Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference of memory access pattern. * 2 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 4.811 | 4.872 | +0.061 | +1.27 | 100 | 9.854 | 10.309 | +0.454 | +4.61 | 150 | 15.602 | 15.040 | -0.562 | -3.6 | 200 | 20.489 | 20.380 | -0.109 | -0.53 | 250 | 25.798 | 25.652 | -0.146 | -0.56 | 300 | 31.260 | 30.797 | -0.463 | -1.48 | 350 | 36.121 | 35.770 | -0.351 | -0.97 | 400 | 42.288 | 42.102 | -0.186 | -0.44 | 450 | 47.778 | 47.253 | -0.526 | -1.1 | 500 | 51.953 | 52.278 | +0.325 | +0.63 | 550 | 58.401 | 57.700 | -0.701 | -1.2 | 600 | 63.334 | 63.222 | -0.112 | -0.18 | 650 | 68.816 | 68.511 | -0.306 | -0.44 | 700 | 74.667 | 74.088 | -0.579 | -0.78 | 750 | 78.612 | 79.582 | +0.970 | +1.23 | 800 | 85.431 | 85.263 | -0.168 | -0.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------- * 4 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 2.586 | 2.584 | -0.003 | -0.1 | 100 | 5.254 | 5.283 | +0.030 | +0.56 | 150 | 8.012 | 8.074 | +0.061 | +0.76 | 200 | 11.172 | 11.000 | -0.172 | -1.54 | 250 | 13.917 | 14.036 | +0.119 | +0.86 | 300 | 16.905 | 16.543 | -0.362 | -2.14 | 350 | 19.901 | 20.036 | +0.135 | +0.68 | 400 | 22.908 | 23.094 | +0.186 | +0.81 | 450 | 26.273 | 26.101 | -0.172 | -0.66 | 500 | 29.554 | 29.092 | -0.461 | -1.56 | 550 | 32.377 | 32.274 | -0.103 | -0.32 | 600 | 35.855 | 35.322 | -0.533 | -1.49 | 650 | 39.192 | 38.388 | -0.804 | -2.05 | 700 | 41.744 | 41.719 | -0.025 | -0.06 | 750 | 45.016 | 44.496 | -0.520 | -1.16 | 800 | 48.212 | 47.603 | -0.609 | -1.26 | -------------------------------------------------------------- * 8 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 2.094 | 2.072 | -0.022 | -1.07 | 100 | 4.162 | 4.273 | +0.111 | +2.66 | 150 | 6.485 | 6.540 | +0.055 | +0.84 | 200 | 8.556 | 8.478 | -0.078 | -0.91 | 250 | 10.458 | 10.258 | -0.200 | -1.91 | 300 | 12.425 | 12.750 | +0.325 | +2.62 | 350 | 14.807 | 14.839 | +0.032 | +0.22 | 400 | 16.801 | 16.959 | +0.158 | +0.94 | 450 | 19.478 | 19.009 | -0.470 | -2.41 | 500 | 21.296 | 21.504 | +0.208 | +0.98 | 550 | 23.842 | 23.979 | +0.137 | +0.57 | 600 | 26.309 | 26.111 | -0.198 | -0.75 | 650 | 28.705 | 28.446 | -0.259 | -0.9 | 700 | 31.233 | 31.394 | +0.161 | +0.52 | 750 | 34.064 | 33.720 | -0.344 | -1.01 | 800 | 36.320 | 36.114 | -0.206 | -0.57 | -------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Acked-by: 'Peter Zijlstra' <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space). But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string itself is. The end result is just output that looks like: rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally we would want something that looks like this: rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5 rcu_dyntick: End 0 1 The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format file in the debugfs tracing directory. The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher the address without any modification. The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use the trace_printk sections.

TRACE_PRINTKS() \
bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT 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: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which is quite confusing. We should switch the macro in the linker script to INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch). Since the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S. However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire .data.init_task section. So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION. I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

vmlinux.lds.h: allow arch specific handling of ro_after_init data section commit c74ba8b3480d ("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: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Improve vmlinux.lds.h support for arch specific linker scripts To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced in line count and their readability are improved - IMO. A sample linker script is included to give the preferred order of the sections for the architectures that do not have any special requirments. These definitions are also a first step towards eventual support for -ffunction-sections. The definitions makes it much easier to do a global renaming of section names - but the main purpose is to clean up the linker scripts. Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve the definitions - all faults are mine. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu>

Introduce a new section definition named: RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter. RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.

tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

tracing: Kernel Tracepoints Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for usage examples. Taken from the documentation patch : "A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe) that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is "off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data structure in a separate section). When a tracepoint is "on", the function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint site). You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header file." Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state (this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched() with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses "preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()". We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_ tracepoints. Changelog : - Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with the same name in a different header. - Add tracepoint_entry_free_old. - Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator. Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> : Tested on x86-64. Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller (changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it also saves the d-cache hit). About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added. Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers : I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server. While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from the viewpoint of performance impact. I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS. I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL: http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and difference between the kernels. The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800 The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8 Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases, differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences doesn't increase either. Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference of memory access pattern. * 2 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 4.811 | 4.872 | +0.061 | +1.27 | 100 | 9.854 | 10.309 | +0.454 | +4.61 | 150 | 15.602 | 15.040 | -0.562 | -3.6 | 200 | 20.489 | 20.380 | -0.109 | -0.53 | 250 | 25.798 | 25.652 | -0.146 | -0.56 | 300 | 31.260 | 30.797 | -0.463 | -1.48 | 350 | 36.121 | 35.770 | -0.351 | -0.97 | 400 | 42.288 | 42.102 | -0.186 | -0.44 | 450 | 47.778 | 47.253 | -0.526 | -1.1 | 500 | 51.953 | 52.278 | +0.325 | +0.63 | 550 | 58.401 | 57.700 | -0.701 | -1.2 | 600 | 63.334 | 63.222 | -0.112 | -0.18 | 650 | 68.816 | 68.511 | -0.306 | -0.44 | 700 | 74.667 | 74.088 | -0.579 | -0.78 | 750 | 78.612 | 79.582 | +0.970 | +1.23 | 800 | 85.431 | 85.263 | -0.168 | -0.2 | -------------------------------------------------------------- * 4 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 2.586 | 2.584 | -0.003 | -0.1 | 100 | 5.254 | 5.283 | +0.030 | +0.56 | 150 | 8.012 | 8.074 | +0.061 | +0.76 | 200 | 11.172 | 11.000 | -0.172 | -1.54 | 250 | 13.917 | 14.036 | +0.119 | +0.86 | 300 | 16.905 | 16.543 | -0.362 | -2.14 | 350 | 19.901 | 20.036 | +0.135 | +0.68 | 400 | 22.908 | 23.094 | +0.186 | +0.81 | 450 | 26.273 | 26.101 | -0.172 | -0.66 | 500 | 29.554 | 29.092 | -0.461 | -1.56 | 550 | 32.377 | 32.274 | -0.103 | -0.32 | 600 | 35.855 | 35.322 | -0.533 | -1.49 | 650 | 39.192 | 38.388 | -0.804 | -2.05 | 700 | 41.744 | 41.719 | -0.025 | -0.06 | 750 | 45.016 | 44.496 | -0.520 | -1.16 | 800 | 48.212 | 47.603 | -0.609 | -1.26 | -------------------------------------------------------------- * 8 CPUs Number of | without | with | diff | diff | processes | Marker [Sec] | Marker [Sec] | [Sec] | [%] | -------------------------------------------------------------- 50 | 2.094 | 2.072 | -0.022 | -1.07 | 100 | 4.162 | 4.273 | +0.111 | +2.66 | 150 | 6.485 | 6.540 | +0.055 | +0.84 | 200 | 8.556 | 8.478 | -0.078 | -0.91 | 250 | 10.458 | 10.258 | -0.200 | -1.91 | 300 | 12.425 | 12.750 | +0.325 | +2.62 | 350 | 14.807 | 14.839 | +0.032 | +0.22 | 400 | 16.801 | 16.959 | +0.158 | +0.94 | 450 | 19.478 | 19.009 | -0.470 | -2.41 | 500 | 21.296 | 21.504 | +0.208 | +0.98 | 550 | 23.842 | 23.979 | +0.137 | +0.57 | 600 | 26.309 | 26.111 | -0.198 | -0.75 | 650 | 28.705 | 28.446 | -0.259 | -0.9 | 700 | 31.233 | 31.394 | +0.161 | +0.52 | 750 | 34.064 | 33.720 | -0.344 | -1.01 | 800 | 36.320 | 36.114 | -0.206 | -0.57 | -------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Acked-by: 'Peter Zijlstra' <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

firmware: allow firmware files to be built into kernel image Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary. Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the firmware loader. A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd. This allows them to work in a static kernel.

The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option.

module: show version information for built-in modules in sysfs Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if built-in, are completely invisible from userspace. This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

x86: add testcases for RODATA and NX protections/attributes Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless 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.

Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst Today we have the following annotations for functions/data referencing __init/__exit functions / data: __init_refok => for init functions __initdata_refok => for init data __exit_refok => for exit functions There is really no difference between the __init and __exit versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation the following new annotations are introduced: __ref => for functions (code) that references __*init / __*exit __refdata => for variables __refconst => for const variables Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation is for and there is no longer the arbitary division between __init and __exit code. The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section is created which is made part of the usual sections in the linker script. We will start to see annotations like this: -static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = { +static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = { ----------------- -static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier = +static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata = ---------------- -static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, +static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, [The above is just random samples]. Note: No modifications were needed in modpost to support the new sections due to the newly introduced blacklisting. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

kbuild: Fix asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h for LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION 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.

MEM_KEEP(init.text*) \
MEM_KEEP(exit.text*) \
Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

kbuild: Avoid inconsistent kallsyms data Several reports on inconsistent kallsyms data has been caused by the aliased symbols __sched_text_start and __down to shift places in the output of nm.

[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(), register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler() gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes. I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section .kprobes.text. Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to .kprobes.text section. These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

[PATCH] i386 / uml: add dwarf sections to static link script Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it should be correct anyway adding it. On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section, used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to that. In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults. However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at least for the sake of cleanness.

The icache load miss rate went down by about 15%: before patch: 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) after patch: 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance advantage was discovered accidentally. Whole perf output follows: - results for current tip tree: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) 2676914223 instructions # 0.497 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5389516026 cycles ( +- 0.144% ) 0.206267711 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.138% ) - results for current tip tree with the patch applied: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) 2717734941 instructions # 0.502 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5414756975 cycles ( +- 0.148% ) 0.206747566 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.137% ) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com Cc: ananth@in.ibm.com Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: 2nddept-manager@sdl.hitachi.co.jp LKML-Reference: <20110307181039.GB15197@jolsa.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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.

#ifdef CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit). However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent on the size of the previous sections. Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always aligned as well.

ftrace: __start_mcount_loc should be .init.rodata __start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead, __start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end) so that the space is reclaimed after init. __start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared '__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init. __start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is* read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA. This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the events are processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more.

kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes blacklist at kernel build time. The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(), placed after the function definition: NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function); Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller. When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section. Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the macro (because there is no "size" information), those are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

ARM: Introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() for cpu hotplug/smp The goal of multi-platform kernels is to remove the need for mach directories and machine descriptors. To further that goal, introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to allow cpu hotplug/smp support to be separated from the machine descriptors. Implementers should specify an enable-method property in their cpus node and then implement a matching set of smp_ops in their hotplug/smp code, wiring it up with the CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() macro. When the kernel is compiled we'll collect all the enable-method smp_ops into one section for use at boot. At boot time we'll look for an enable-method in each cpu node and try to match that against all known CPU enable methods in the kernel. If there are no enable-methods in the cpu nodes we fallback to the cpus node and try to use any enable-method found there. If that doesn't work we fall back to the old way of using the machine descriptor.

This approach allowed to split the low level PM code from the arch specific and the generic cpuidle code. Unfortunately there are complaints about this approach as, in the context of the single kernel image, we have multiple drivers loaded in memory for nothing and the platform driver is not adequate for cpuidle. This patch provides a common interface via cpuidle ops for all new cpuidle driver and a definition for the device tree. It will allow with the next patches to a have a common definition with ARM64 and share the same cpuidle driver.

CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_TABLES() \
irqchip: add basic infrastructure With the recent creation of the drivers/irqchip/ directory, it is desirable to move irq controller drivers here. At the moment, the only driver here is irq-bcm2835, the driver for the irq controller found in the ARM BCM2835 SoC, present in Rasberry Pi systems. This irq controller driver was exporting its initialization function and its irq handling function through a header file in <linux/irqchip/bcm2835.h>. When proposing to also move another irq controller driver in drivers/irqchip, Rob Herring raised the very valid point that moving things to drivers/irqchip was good in order to remove more stuff from arch/arm, but if it means adding gazillions of headers files in include/linux/irqchip/, it would not be very nice. So, upon the suggestion of Rob Herring and Arnd Bergmann, this commit introduces a small infrastructure that defines a central irqchip_init() function in drivers/irqchip/irqchip.c, which is meant to be called as the ->init_irq() callback of ARM platforms. This function calls of_irq_init() with an array of match strings and init functions generated from a special linker section. Note that the irq controller driver initialization function is responsible for setting the global handle_arch_irq() variable, so that ARM platforms no longer have to define the ->handle_irq field in their DT_MACHINE structure. A global header, <linux/irqchip.h> is also added to expose the single irqchip_init() function to the reset of the kernel. A further commit moves the BCM2835 irq controller driver to this new small infrastructure, therefore removing the include/linux/irqchip/ directory.

vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macros The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless 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.

powerpc: Link warning for orphan sections 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.

[PATCH] i386 / uml: add dwarf sections to static link script Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it should be correct anyway adding it. On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section, used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to that.

[PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Eric W.

#ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG
[PATCH] Generic BUG implementation This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.

x86/unwind/orc: Fix ORC unwind table alignment The .orc_unwind section is a packed array of 6-byte structs. It's currently aligned to 6 bytes, which is causing warnings in the LLD linker. Six isn't a power of two, so it's not a valid alignment value. The actual alignment doesn't matter much because it's an array of packed structs. An alignment of two is sufficient. In reality it always gets aligned to four bytes because it comes immediately after the 4-byte-aligned .orc_unwind_ip section.

x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder 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.

[PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Eric W.

vmlinux.lds.h: lower init ramfs alignment to 4 The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the documentation and per the source files themselves). As for compressed sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers.

initramfs: fix initramfs size calculation The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by "__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start". Those symbols are defined in the linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: #define INIT_RAM_FS \ . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .; \ *(.init.ramfs) \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .; If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end" symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the System.map might look like: 0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start 00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end <-- odd address At least on s390 this causes a problem: Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses (larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses. The compiler loads the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction. This instruction sets the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size is one byte less than it should be: 0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>: 540a9c: eb cf f0 78 00 24 stmg %r12,%r15,120(%r15), 540aa2: c0 10 00 01 8a af larl %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start> 540aa8: c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e larl %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end> (Instead of 5bcd05) ... 540abe: 1b c1 sr %r12,%r1 To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable __initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file. The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the .init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the initramfs. Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the __initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file Problem: When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the kernel, that information is not available. Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases: 1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be passed to the kernel at boot time. 2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image. Proposal: The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate modules, we are not creating a new API. It can be easily read in the userspace: $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo ext4.softdep=pre: crc32c ext4.license=GPL ext4.description=Fourth Extended Filesystem ext4.author=Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others ext4.alias=fs-ext4 ext4.alias=ext3 ext4.alias=fs-ext3 ext4.alias=ext2 ext4.alias=fs-ext2 md_mod.alias=block-major-9-* md_mod.alias=md md_mod.description=MD RAID framework md_mod.license=GPL md_mod.parmtype=create_on_open:bool md_mod.parmtype=start_dirty_degraded:int ...

core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention.

x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMP [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S.

linker script: use separate simpler definition for PERCPU() Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32 Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put .data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms of it. The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed. This new symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32. 1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to absolute relocation. 2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against .data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of already set load address. As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being different from __per_cpu_start. This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary linking-wise.

Improve vmlinux.lds.h support for arch specific linker scripts To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced in line count and their readability are improved - IMO. A sample linker script is included to give the preferred order of the sections for the architectures that do not have any special requirments. These definitions are also a first step towards eventual support for -ffunction-sections. The definitions makes it much easier to do a global renaming of section names - but the main purpose is to clean up the linker scripts. Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve the definitions - all faults are mine. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu>

Improve vmlinux.lds.h support for arch specific linker scripts To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced in line count and their readability are improved - IMO. A sample linker script is included to give the preferred order of the sections for the architectures that do not have any special requirments. These definitions are also a first step towards eventual support for -ffunction-sections. The definitions makes it much easier to do a global renaming of section names - but the main purpose is to clean up the linker scripts. Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve the definitions - all faults are mine. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu>

asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: Fix up RW_DATA_SECTION definition. RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters, while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted in the comments. There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which is quite confusing. We should switch the macro in the linker script to INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch). Since the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S. However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire .data.init_task section. So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION. I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

INIT_TASK_DATA(inittask) \
Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION. The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE. This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should pack them essentially optimally.

debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug() 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.

x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder 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.

vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macros The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.
