Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt: "We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11: - Support for the contiguous memory allocator. - Support for IRQ Time Accounting - Support for stack tracing - Support for strict /dev/mem - Support for kernel section protection I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK). There are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending along either later this week or early next week. There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of the .text.init alignment patch. With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators I'm less worried about it" * tag 'riscv-for-linus-5.11-mw0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux: arm64: Use the generic devmem_is_allowed() arm: Use the generic devmem_is_allowed() RISC-V: Use the new generic devmem_is_allowed() lib: Add a generic version of devmem_is_allowed() riscv: Fixed kernel test robot warning riscv: kernel: Drop unused clean rule riscv: provide memmove implementation RISC-V: Move dynamic relocation section under __init RISC-V: Protect all kernel sections including init early RISC-V: Align the .init.text section RISC-V: Initialize SBI early riscv: Enable ARCH_STACKWALK riscv: Make stack walk callback consistent with generic code riscv: Cleanup stacktrace riscv: Add HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING riscv: Enable CMA support riscv: Ignore Image.* and loader.bin riscv: Clean up boot dir riscv: Fix compressed Image formats build RISC-V: Add kernel image sections to the resource tree

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann: "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET. There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one any more. The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a result. For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper function. Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead" * tag 'asm-generic-timers-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled timekeeping: remove xtime_update m68k: remove timer_interrupt() function m68k: change remaining timers to legacy_timer_tick m68k: m68328: use legacy_timer_tick() m68k: sun3/sun3c: use legacy_timer_tick m68k: split heartbeat out of timer function m68k: coldfire: use legacy_timer_tick() parisc: use legacy_timer_tick ARM: rpc: use legacy_timer_tick ia64: convert to legacy_timer_tick timekeeping: add CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK timekeeping: remove arch_gettimeoffset net: remove am79c961a driver ARM: remove ebsa110 platform

scripts: get_feat.pl: use its implementation for list-arch.sh

2020-12-03T22:10:14Z

Add support for the same output format as the bash script, and use its implementation instead of the previous one. I opted to do such patch in order to have a single script responsible for parsing Documentation/features and produce different outputs. As someone may rely on the past format, which is easy to parse it, get_feat.pl now gains a new command with the same output format as the previous script. As a side effect, the perl script is a lot faster, as it reads each file only once, instead of parsing files several times via a for command and grep commands inside it. This patch also changes the features list order to be case-insensitive, in order to better match the output of the existing script.

riscv: Add HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING

timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled

2020-10-30T20:57:07Z

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to require each one to select that symbol manually. Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as a simplification. It should be possible to select both GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now and decide at runtime between the two. For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO. At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add around 5.5KB in kernel image size: text data bss dec hex filename 3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent 3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large, around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

parisc: use legacy_timer_tick

2020-10-30T20:57:05Z

parisc has selected CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS since commit 43b1f6abd590 ("parisc: Switch to generic sched_clock implementation"), but does not appear to actually be using it, and instead calls the low-level timekeeping functions directly. Remove the GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS select again, and instead convert to the newly added legacy_timer_tick() helper. Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

timekeeping: remove arch_gettimeoffset

With Arm EBSA110 gone, nothing uses it any more, so the corresponding code and the Kconfig option can be removed. Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

ARM: 9017/2: Enable KASan for ARM

2020-10-27T12:11:11Z

This patch enables the kernel address sanitizer for ARM. XIP_KERNEL has not been tested and is therefore not allowed for now.
