kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP

2023-12-07T00:12:48Z

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want. In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified. CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please see below link to get detail of the LKP report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's is wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

ARM: 9263/1: use .arch directives instead of assembler command line flags

2022-11-08T18:36:17Z

Similar to commit a6c30873ee4a ("ARM: 8989/1: use .fpu assembler directives instead of assembler arguments"). GCC and GNU binutils support setting the "sub arch" via -march=, -Wa,-march, target function attribute, and .arch assembler directive. Clang was missing support for -Wa,-march=, but this was implemented in clang-13. The behavior of both GCC and Clang is to prefer -Wa,-march= over -march= for assembler and assembler-with-cpp sources, but Clang will warn about the -march= being unused. clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-march=armv6k' [-Wunused-command-line-argument] Since most assembler is non-conditionally assembled with one sub arch (modulo arch/arm/delay-loop.S which conditionally is assembled as armv4 based on CONFIG_ARCH_RPC, and arch/arm/mach-at91/pm-suspend.S which is conditionally assembled as armv7-a based on CONFIG_CPU_V7), prefer the .arch assembler directive. Add a few more instances found in compile testing as found by Arnd and Nathan.

kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head

2022-10-02T09:04:05Z

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments: - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place them before other archives in the linker command line. - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a. This commit gets rid of the latter. Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'. With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y for builtin objects. There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py. $(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug.

ARM: footbridge: move isa-dma support into footbridge

2022-09-09T15:14:34Z

The dma-isa.c was shared between footbridge and shark a long time ago, but as shark was removed, it can be made footbridge specific again. The fb_dma bits in turn are not used at all and can be removed. All the ISA related files are now built into the platform regardless of CONFIG_ISA, as they just refer to on-chip devices rather than actual ISA cards.

ARM: 9184/1: return_address: disable again for CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y

2022-03-07T11:43:12Z

Commit 41918ec82eb6 ("ARM: ftrace: enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder") removed the dummy version of return_address() that was provided for the CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y case, on the assumption that the removal of the kernel_text_address() call from unwind_frame() in the preceding patch made it safe to do so. However, this turns out not to be the case: Corentin reports warnings about suspicious RCU usage and other strange behavior that seems to originate in the stack unwinding that occurs in return_address(). Given that the function graph tracer (which is what these changes were enabling for CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y builds) does not appear to care about this distinction, let's revert return_address() to the old state.

ARM: ftrace: enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder

2022-02-09T08:13:59Z

Enable the function graph tracer in combination with the EABI unwinder, so that Thumb2 builds or Clang ARM builds can make use of it. This involves using the unwinder to locate the return address of an instrumented function on the stack, so that it can be overridden and made to refer to the ftrace handling routines that need to be called at function return. Given that for these builds, it is not guaranteed that the value of the link register is stored on the stack, fall back to the stack slot that will be used by the ftrace exit code to restore LR in the instrumented function's execution context.
