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.

console: fix up ARM screen_info reference

Separating the VGA console screen_info from the EFI one unfortunately caused a build failure for footbridge that I had never caught with randconfig builds: arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:932:27: error: static declaration of 'vgacon_screen_info' follows non-static declaration 932 | static struct screen_info vgacon_screen_info = { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:44: arch/arm/include/asm/setup.h:40:27: note: previous declaration of 'vgacon_screen_info' with type 'struct screen_info' 40 | extern struct screen_info vgacon_screen_info; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/video/console/dummycon.o: in function `dummycon_init': dummycon.c:(.text+0xe4): undefined reference to `screen_info' Make sure the variable is global to avoid the conflict with the extern declaration, and make it work in dummycon.c Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231017093947.3627976-2-arnd@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vgacon: clean up global screen_info instances

2023-10-17T08:17:02Z

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them local as much as possible. ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware. The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional. x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

vgacon: remove screen_info dependency

2023-10-17T08:17:02Z

The vga console driver is fairly self-contained, and only used by architectures that explicitly initialize the screen_info settings. Chance every instance that picks the vga console by setting conswitchp to call a function instead, and pass a reference to the screen_info there.

dummycon: limit Arm console size hack to footbridge

2023-10-17T08:17:02Z

The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture, but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since that is the only one that supports vgacon. On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon also depends on the selected font. Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now. To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.

arm: Remove now superfluous sentinel elem from ctl_table arrays

2023-10-10T22:22:02Z

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The size is redundant as the initialization sets it. Changed insn_emulation->sysctl from a 2 element array of struct ctl_table to a simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl registration as it is forwarded as a pointer. Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table, sme_default_vl_table, tagged_addr_sysctl_table and armv8_pmu_sysctl_table. This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

ARM: 9322/1: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-10-05T15:15:42Z

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.
