bootconfig: Remove unneeded CONFIG_LIBXBC

2020-02-10T17:07:42Z

Since there is no user except CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG and no plan to use it from other functions, CONFIG_LIBXBC can be removed and we can use CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG directly.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added new "bootconfig". This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options, and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers. Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup. Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line. - Created dynamic event creation. Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe events. - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer" - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer" Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer" - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code. - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly - Various other small fixes and clean ups * tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits) bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes bootconfig: Add more parse error messages bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add() tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers tracing: Move tracing test module configs together tracing: Move all function tracing configs together tracing: Documentation for in-kernel synthetic event API ...

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

kcov: ignore fault-inject and stacktrace

2020-01-31T18:30:41Z

Don't instrument 3 more files that contain debugging facilities and produce large amounts of uninteresting coverage for every syscall. The following snippets are sprinkled all over the place in kcov traces in a debugging kernel. We already try to disable instrumentation of stack unwinding code and of most debug facilities. I guess we did not use fault-inject.c at the time, and stacktrace.c was somehow missed (or something has changed in kernel/configs). This change both speeds up kcov (kernel doesn't need to store these PCs, user-space doesn't need to process them) and frees trace buffer capacity for more useful coverage. should_fail lib/fault-inject.c:149 fail_dump lib/fault-inject.c:45 stack_trace_save kernel/stacktrace.c:124 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:86 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:89 ... a hundred frames skipped ... stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:93 stack_trace_consume_entry kernel/stacktrace.c:86 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116111449.217744-1-dvyukov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov Reviewed-by: Andrey Konovalov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib/zlib: add s390 hardware support for kernel zlib_deflate

2020-01-31T18:30:40Z

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3. With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU) with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of magnitude faster than the current zlib. This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib. The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation: https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410 The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel. Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction. Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32 checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will always happen in hardware (when enabled). Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway. The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to configure s390 zlib hardware support: Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always } on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on level 1 and decompression (default) off: No s390 zlib hardware support def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate only (compression on level 1) inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate only (decompression) always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression level always using hardware support (used for debugging) The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch 6) the following performance results have been achieved using the ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate and compression ratio for zlib level 1: Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00 random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96 ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94 binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02 This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib. Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual workload, configuration and software levels. This patch (of 9): Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.

bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config support

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends the kernel command line in an efficient way. Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g. key.word = value1 another.key.word = value2 It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array data. For example, key { word1 { setting1 = data setting2 } word2.array = "val1", "val2" } User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via SKC APIs.
