arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c

2025-09-25T07:57:15Z

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64

2025-09-01T13:31:34Z

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

ARC: unwind: Use built-in sort swap to reduce code size and improve performance

2025-06-09T16:18:12Z

The custom swap function used in sort() was identical to the default built-in sort swap. Remove the custom swap function and passes NULL to sort(), allowing it to use the default swap function. This change reduces code size and improves performance, particularly when CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE is enabled. With RETPOLINE mitigation, indirect function calls incur significant overhead, and using the default swap function avoids this cost. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ./unwind.o.old ./unwind.o.new add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-22 (-22) Function old new delta init_unwind_hdr.constprop 544 540 -4 swap_eh_frame_hdr_table_entries 18 - -18 Total: Before=4410, After=4388, chg -0.50% Signed-off-by: Yu-Chun Lin Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

arc/perf: Remove driver-specific throttle support

2025-05-21T11:57:45Z

The throttle support has been added in the generic code. Remove the driver-specific throttle support. Besides the throttle, perf_event_overflow may return true because of event_limit. It already does an inatomic event disable. The pmu->stop is not required either.

ARC: Switch to irq_domain_create_linear()

2025-05-16T19:06:08Z

irq_domain_add_linear() is going away as being obsolete now. Switch to the preferred irq_domain_create_linear(). That differs in the first parameter: It takes more generic struct fwnode_handle instead of struct device_node. Therefore, of_fwnode_handle() is added around the parameter. Note some of the users can likely use dev->fwnode directly instead of indirect of_fwnode_handle(dev->of_node). But dev->fwnode is not guaranteed to be set for all, so this has to be investigated on case to case basis (by people who can actually test with the HW).
