thermal/drivers/core: Add init section table for self-encapsulation

2019-06-27T13:22:13Z

Currently the governors are declared in their respective files but they export their [un]register functions which in turn call the [un]register governors core's functions. That implies a cyclic dependency which is not desirable. There is a way to self-encapsulate the governors by letting them to declare themselves in a __init section table. Define the table in the asm generic linker description like the other tables and provide the specific macros to deal with.

parisc: add dynamic ftrace

2019-06-08T10:56:29Z

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 : 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

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 : 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.

moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file

2019-05-07T12:50:24Z

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 ...

vmlinux.lds.h: drop unused __vermagic

2019-03-18T11:03:42Z

The reference to '__vermagic' is a relict from v2.5 times. And even there it had a very short life time, from v2.5.59 (commit 1d411b80ee18 ("Module Sanity Check") in the historic tree) to v2.5.69 (commit 67ac5b866bda ("[PATCH] complete modinfo section")). Neither current kernels nor modules contain a '__vermagic' section any more, so get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Jessica Yu Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu

x86/unwind/orc: Fix ORC unwind table alignment

2019-03-06T19:36:32Z

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.

vmlinux.lds.h: Fix linker warnings about orphan .LPBX sections

2018-10-11T21:55:29Z

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.
