x86/cpufeatures: Generate the header based on build config

2025-03-19T10:15:11+00:00

Introduce an AWK script to auto-generate the header with required and disabled feature masks based on and the current build config. Thus for any CPU feature with a build config, e.g., X86_FRED, simply add: config X86_DISABLED_FEATURE_FRED def_bool y depends on !X86_FRED to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpufeatures, instead of adding a conditional CPU feature disable flag, e.g., DISABLE_FRED. Lastly, the generated required and disabled feature masks will be added to their corresponding feature masks for this particular compile-time configuration.

fprobe: Add fprobe_header encoding feature

2024-12-26T15:50:05+00:00

Fprobe store its data structure address and size on the fgraph return stack by __fprobe_header. But most 64bit architecture can combine those to one unsigned long value because 4 MSB in the kernel address are the same. With this encoding, fprobe can consume less space on ret_stack. This introduces asm/fprobe.h to define arch dependent encode/decode macros. Note that since fprobe depends on CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS, currently only arm64, loongarch, riscv, s390 and x86 are supported.

arch, mm: move definition of node_data to generic code

2024-09-04T04:15:28+00:00

Every architecture that supports NUMA defines node_data in the same way: struct pglist_data *node_data[MAX_NUMNODES]; No reason to keep multiple copies of this definition and its forward declarations, especially when such forward declaration is the only thing in include/asm/mmzone.h for many architectures. Add definition and declaration of node_data to generic code and drop architecture-specific versions.

x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier

2023-06-16T15:17:42+00:00

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel, it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change. It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table). Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script can be updated. This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the 20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding __start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn 2: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/issues/303 Fixes: ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") Fixes: fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/aef9c8dc43915b886a8c48509a12ec1b006ca1ca.1686690801.git.osandov@osandov.com

x86/syscalls: Switch to generic syscalltbl.sh

2021-05-20T13:03:58+00:00

Many architectures duplicate similar shell scripts. Convert x86 and UML to use scripts/syscalltbl.sh. The generic script generates seperate headers for x86/64 and x86/x32 syscalls, while the x86 specific script coalesced them into one. Adjust the code accordingly.

asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory

2020-04-02T16:35:25+00:00

Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met: [1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild [2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild This commit was generated by the following shell script. ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d') tmpfile=$(mktemp) grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' | xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += $.*$/\1/p' | sort -u | while read header do mandatory=yes for arch in $arches do if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild && ! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then mandatory=no break fi done if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $tmpfile for arch in $arches do sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild done fi done sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- One obvious benefit is the diff stat: 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-) It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it. So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header implementation. See the following commits: def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24 It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell script.
