Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner: "A single fix to prevent a unmet dependencies warning in Kconfig" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: time: Make VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS

time: Make VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS

2019-03-06T19:43:08Z

Moving the CONTEXT_TRACKING Kconfig option into kernel/time/Kconfig added an implicit dependency on the surrounding GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS option, but this is not always enabled when it is possible to select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CONTEXT_TRACKING Depends on [n]: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS [=n] Selected by [y]: - VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y] && && HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING [=y] && HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y] Platforms without GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS are rare enough so that corner case can be just ignored. Make it a dependency for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to simplify the configuration.

kbuild: clean up scripts/gcc-version.sh

2019-03-04T13:35:04Z

Now that the Kconfig is the only user of this script, we can drop unneeded code. Remove the -p option, and stop prepending the output with zero, so that Kconfig can directly use the output from this script. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Add io_uring IO interface

2019-02-28T15:24:23Z

The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO. IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring. The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an arbitrary submission. Two new system calls are added for this: io_uring_setup(entries, params) Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success, returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes. io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize) Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the kernel to return already completed events without waiting for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring without entering the kernel. With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface, and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all. For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for completions if it wants to wait for them to occur. Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly as a sync interface.

kbuild: compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig

2019-02-27T12:43:20Z

Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched various false positives: - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os") turned off this option for -Os. - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9 Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903 I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

psi: clarify the Kconfig text for the default-disable option

2019-02-01T23:46:24Z

The current help text caused some confusion in online forums about whether or not to default-enable or default-disable psi in vendor kernels. This is because it doesn't communicate the reason for why we made this setting configurable in the first place: that the overhead is non-zero in an artificial scheduler stress test. Since this isn't representative of real workloads, and the effect was not measurable in scheduler-heavy real world applications such as the webservers and memcache installations at Facebook, it's fair to point out that this is a pretty cautious option to select.

kbuild: Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION with ftrace & GCC <= 4.7

2019-01-14T01:37:09Z

When building using GCC 4.7 or older, -ffunction-sections & the -pg flag used by ftrace are incompatible. This causes warnings or build failures (where -Werror applies) such as the following: arch/mips/generic/init.c: error: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible This used to be taken into account by the ordering of calls to cc-option from within the top-level Makefile, which was introduced by commit 90ad4052e85c ("kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and -pg on gcc-4.7"). Unfortunately this was broken when the CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION cc-option check was moved to Kconfig in commit e85d1d65cd8a ("kbuild: test dead code/data elimination support in Kconfig"), because the flags used by this check no longer include -pg. Fix this by not allowing CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be enabled at the same time as ftrace/CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER when building using GCC 4.7 or older.

jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51Z

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label". The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined like this: #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL #endif We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO. Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will match to the real kernel capability. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Michael Ellerman (powerpc) Tested-by: Sedat Dilek
