ARMv7 chips with LPAE can often benefit from SPARSEMEM, as portions of
system memory can be located deep in the 36-bit address space. Allow
FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM to be selectable at compile time; FLATMEM remains
the default.
This is based on Kevin's "[PATCH 3/3] ARM: Allow either FLATMEM or
SPARSEMEM on the multi-v7 build" from [1] and shamelessly rips off his
commit message text above. As Arnd pointed out at [2] there doesn't
seem to be any reason to tie this specifically to ARMv7, so this has
been changed to apply to all multiplatform kernels.
The addition of this option does not change the defaults and a build with
any defconfig will behave the same way as previously.
The only effect this change has is to enable user to change "Memory model"
selection in interactive kernel configuration (menuconfig, xconfig etc).

If ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y and ARCH_{FLATMEM,DISCONTIGMEM}_ENABLE=n,
then the logic in mm/Kconfig already makes CONFIG_SPARSEMEM the only
choice. This is true for all of the existing ARM users of
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE.
Forcing ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT=y if ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y prevents
us from ever defaulting to FLATMEM, so we should remove this setting.

Recent work with KASan exposed the folling hard-coded bitmask
in arch/arm/mm/proc-macros.S:
bic rd, sp, #8128
bic rd, rd, #63
This forms the bitmask 0x1FFF that is coinciding with
(PAGE_SIZE << THREAD_SIZE_ORDER) - 1, this code was assuming
that THREAD_SIZE is always 8K (8192).
As KASan was increasing THREAD_SIZE_ORDER to 2, I ran into
this bug.
Fix it by this little oneline suggested by Ard:
bic rd, sp, #(THREAD_SIZE - 1) & ~63
Where THREAD_SIZE is defined using THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.
We have to also include <linux/const.h> since the THREAD_SIZE
expands to use the _AC() macro.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ardb/linux into misc
Simplify EFI handover to decompressor
The EFI stub in the ARM kernel runs in the context of the firmware, which
means it usually runs with the caches and MMU on. Currently, we relocate
the zImage so it appears in the first 128 MiB, disable the MMU and caches
and invoke the decompressor via its ordinary entry point. However, since we
can pass the base of DRAM directly, there is no need to relocate the zImage,
which also means there is no need to disable and re-enable the caches and
create new page tables etc.
This also allows systems whose DRAM start address is not a round multiple
of 128 MB to decompress the kernel proper to the base of memory, ensuring
that all memory is usable at runtime.
|
|
The decompressor can load from anywhere in memory, and the only reason
the EFI stub code relocates it is to ensure it appears within the first
128 MiB of memory, so that the uncompressed kernel ends up at the right
offset in memory.
We can short circuit this, and simply jump into the decompressor startup
code at the point where it knows where the base of memory lives. This
also means there is no need to disable the MMU and caches, create new
page tables and re-enable them.

We will be running the decompressor in place after a future patch,
instead of copying it around first. This means we no longer have to
disable and re-enable the MMU and caches either. However, this means
we will be loaded with the restricted permissions set by the UEFI
firmware, which means that we have to move the GOT table into the
data section in order for the contents to be writable by the code
itself.

The remaining contents of LC0 are only used after the point in the
decompressor startup code where we enter via 'wont_overwrite'. So
move the loading of the LC0 structure after it. This will allow us
to jump to wont_overwrite directly from the EFI stub, and execute
the decompressor in place at the offset it was loaded by the UEFI
firmware.

ARM stores unwind information for .init.text in sections named
.ARM.extab.init.text and .ARM.exidx.init.text. Since those aren't
currently recognized as init sections, they're allocated along with the

allocated from different regions and can't reach other.

Unwind information for init sections is placed in .ARM.exidx.init.text
and .ARM.extab.init.text. The module core doesn't know that these are
init sections so they are allocated along with the core sections, and if
the core and init sections get allocated in different memory regions
(which is possible with CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS=y) and they can't reach

frees the init sections.

ALT_UP_B macro sets symbol up_b_offset via .equ to an expression
involving another symbol. The macro gets expanded twice when
arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S is assembled, creating a scenario where
up_b_offset is set to another expression involving symbols while its
current value is based on symbols. LLVM integrated assembler does not
allow such cases, and based on the documentation of binutils, "Values
that are based on expressions involving other symbols are allowed, but
some targets may restrict this to only being done once per assembly", so
it may be better to avoid such cases as it is not clearly stated which
targets should support or disallow them. The fix in this case is simple,
as up_b_offset has only one use, so we can replace the use with the
definition and get rid of up_b_offset.

Copying source files during the build time may not end up with
as clean code as expected.
lib/fdt*.c simply wrap scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt*.c, and it works
nicely. Let's follow this approach for the arm decompressor, too.
Add four wrappers, arch/arm/boot/compressed/fdt*.c and remove
the Makefile messes. Another nice thing is we no longer need to
maintain the own libfdt_env.h because the decompressor can include
<linux/libfdt_env.h>.
There is a subtle problem when generated files are turned into
check-in files.
When you are doing a rebuild of an existing object tree with O=
option, there exists stale "shipped" copies that the old Makefile
implementation created. The build system ends up with compiling the
stale generated files because Make searches for prerequisites in the
current directory, i.e. $(objtree) first, and then the directory
listed in VPATH, i.e. $(srctree).
To mend this issue, I added the following code:
ifdef building_out_of_srctree
$(shell rm -f $(addprefix $(obj)/, fdt_rw.c fdt_ro.c fdt_wip.c fdt.c))
endif
This will need to stay for a while because "git bisect" crossing this
commit, otherwise, would result in a build error.

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
and people don't then re-order the entry.
Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed.
This was scripted with
/scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS
but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
stood out when looking at the end result.

Emulate split-lock accesses as writes if split lock detection is on

Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC,
VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which
was reported by Kenneth.
It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is
prepared or not.
Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host
SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a
warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force
SIGBUS.

- Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs should

Patch series "seq_file .next functions should increase position index".
In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c:
simplify seq_file iteration code and interface")
"Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL...
Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple
demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size
larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will always show the whole
last line of /proc/swaps"
Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of
last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
last line once again.
$ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output

Test that request_module() fails with -ENOENT when
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe contains (a) a nonexistent path, and (b) an
empty path.
Case (b) is a regression test for the patch "kmod: make request_module()
return an error when autoloading is disabled".
Tested with 'kmod.sh -t 0010 && kmod.sh -t 0011', and also simply with
'kmod.sh' to run all kmod tests.

Document the kernel.modprobe sysctl in the same place that all the other
kernel.* sysctls are documented. Make sure to mention how to use this
sysctl to completely disable module autoloading, and how this sysctl
relates to CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER.

After request_module(), nothing is stopping the module from being
unloaded until someone takes a reference to it via try_get_module().
The WARN_ONCE() in get_fs_type() is thus user-reachable, via userspace
running 'rmmod' concurrently.
Since WARN_ONCE() is for kernel bugs only, not for user-reachable
situations, downgrade this warning to pr_warn_once().
Keep it printed once only, since the intent of this warning is to detect
a bug in modprobe at boot time. Printing the warning more than once
wouldn't really provide any useful extra information.

Patch series "module autoloading fixes and cleanups", v5.
This series fixes a bug where request_module() was reporting success to
kernel code when module autoloading had been completely disabled via
'echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe'.
It also addresses the issues raised on the original thread
(https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200310223731.126894-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u)
bydocumenting the modprobe sysctl, adding a self-test for the empty path
case, and downgrading a user-reachable WARN_ONCE().
This patch (of 4):
It's long been possible to disable kernel module autoloading completely
(while still allowing manual module insertion) by setting
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to the empty string.
This can be preferable to setting it to a nonexistent file since it
avoids the overhead of an attempted execve(), avoids potential
deadlocks, and avoids the call to security_kernel_module_request() and
thus on SELinux-based systems eliminates the need to write SELinux rules
to dontaudit module_request.
However, when module autoloading is disabled in this way,
request_module() returns 0. This is broken because callers expect 0 to
mean that the module was successfully loaded.
Apparently this was never noticed because this method of disabling
module autoloading isn't used much, and also most callers don't use the
return value of request_module() since it's always necessary to check
whether the module registered its functionality or not anyway.
But improperly returning 0 can indeed confuse a few callers, for example
get_fs_type() in fs/filesystems.c where it causes a WARNING to be hit:
if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0)) {
fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
WARN_ONCE(!fs, "request_module fs-%.*s succeeded, but still no fs?\n", len, name);
}
This is easily reproduced with:
echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
mount -t NONEXISTENT none /
It causes:
request_module fs-NONEXISTENT succeeded, but still no fs?
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1106 at fs/filesystems.c:275 get_fs_type+0xd6/0xf0
[...]
This should actually use pr_warn_once() rather than WARN_ONCE(), since
it's also user-reachable if userspace immediately unloads the module.
Regardless, request_module() should correctly return an error when it
fails. So let's make it return -ENOENT, which matches the error when
the modprobe binary doesn't exist.
I've also sent patches to document and test this case.
