mm/page_alloc: Revert pahole zero-sized workaround

2021-07-10T23:09:39Z

Commit dbbee9d5cd83 ("mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to local_lock") folded in a workaround patch for pahole that was unable to deal with zero-sized percpu structures. A superior workaround is achieved with commit a0b8200d06ad ("kbuild: skip per-CPU BTF generation for pahole v1.18-v1.21"). This patch reverts the dummy field and the pahole version check.

dump_stack: add vmlinux build ID to stack traces

2021-07-08T18:48:22Z

Add the running kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace information header. This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full debuginfo for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the correct vmlinux from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in the pstore logs and the recovery kernel is different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the data can be large and a security concern). The stacktrace can be analyzed after the crash by using the build ID to find the matching vmlinux and understand where in the function something went wrong. Example stacktrace from lkdtm: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] Modules linked in: lkdtm rfcomm algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg xt_cgroup uinput xt_MASQUERADE CPU: 4 PID: 3255 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.11 #3 aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT) pstate: 00400009 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) pc : lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID, following the kernel version number. Put it all behind a config option, STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID, so that kernel developers can remove this information if they decide it is too much.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Time and clocksource/clockevent related updates: Core changes: - Infrastructure to support per CPU "broadcast" devices for per CPU clockevent devices which stop in deep idle states. This allows us to utilize the more efficient architected timer on certain ARM SoCs for normal operation instead of permanentely using the slow to access SoC specific clockevent device. - Print the name of the broadcast/wakeup device in /proc/timer_list - Make the clocksource watchdog more robust against delays between reading the current active clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. Such delays can be caused by NMIs, SMIs and vCPU preemption. Handle this by reading the watchdog clocksource twice, i.e. before and after reading the current active clocksource. In case that the two watchdog reads shows an excessive time delta, the read sequence is repeated up to 3 times. - Improve the debug output and add a test module for the watchdog mechanism. - Reimplementation of the venerable time64_to_tm() function with a faster and significantly smaller version. Straight from the source, i.e. the author of the related research paper contributed this! Driver changes: - No new drivers, not even new device tree bindings! - Fixes, improvements and cleanups and all over the place" * tag 'timers-core-2021-06-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits) time/kunit: Add missing MODULE_LICENSE() time: Improve performance of time64_to_tm() clockevents: Use list_move() instead of list_del()/list_add() clocksource: Print deviation in nanoseconds when a clocksource becomes unstable clocksource: Provide kernel module to test clocksource watchdog clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold clocksource: Limit number of CPUs checked for clock synchronization clocksource: Check per-CPU clock synchronization when marked unstable clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected clockevents: Add missing parameter documentation clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Drop unnecessary restore clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Improve Allwinner A64 timer workaround clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Remove duplicated argument in arm_global_timer clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Make symbol 'gt_clk_rate_change_nb' static arm: zynq: don't disable CONFIG_ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER due to CONFIG_CPU_FREQ anymore clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Implement rate compensation whenever source clock changes clocksource/drivers/ingenic: Rename unreasonable array names clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Save and restore timer TIOCP_CFG clocksource/drivers/mediatek: Ack and disable interrupts on suspend clocksource/drivers/samsung_pwm: Constify source IO memory ...
