| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 8724ecb07229 ("Input: allow matching device IDs on property bits") started using property bits when generating module aliases for input handlers, but did not adjust the generation of MODALIAS attribute on input device uevents, breaking automatic module loading. Given that no handler currently uses property bits in their module tables, let's revert this part of the commit for now.

In most cases, those symbols are reported with nm as 000000000000000e n $d and with objdump as 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored. However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are built with '--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'. In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported by nm as: 000000000000000e n __efistub_$d and by objdump as: 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which in turn causes kallsyms to abort with kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS. Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug symbols.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like: drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_core.o: warning: objtool: seldo_run()+0x130: unreachable instruction These warnings are always with GCC 4.4. That version of GCC sometimes places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions. The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway. Just ignore them for old versions of GCC.

However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file. So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION always indicates #1. This does not match with "rpm -q". The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either. Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is created. Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion. This script returns an incremented version. So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is greater than the version in the kernel by one. For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command. For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file because it contains the version number that was used for building the kernel image. We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need not touch the .version file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

For some minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that point in time, and everyone forgot about this. The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for various build tool issues. So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them. This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before 4.14-rc1 was out" * tag 'firmware_removal-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: firmware: delete in-kernel firmware

Commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81") dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those make-builtin helpers. This conversion will provide better portability without relying on the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd. I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in some places. The difference between the two is $(realpath ...) returns an empty string if the given path does not exist. It is convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails to create an output directory.

Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too. So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

I had changed that function to return the token ID directly rather than a pointer to the token descriptor structure, but that meant that the test for "is this a reserved word" changed from checking the return value against NULL, to checking that it wasn't negative. And while I had converted the main token parser over, I missed the special case of the typeof phrase handling. And since our dependency chain for genksyms does not include the genksyms program itself changing, my kernel rebuild didn't show the problem.

This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces generated by gperf have changed. We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency entirely. It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are about 500 lines. I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it. Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm). * gperf-removal: Remove gperf usage from toolchain

If the initalization function is not part of the same compilation unit, the lack of an assignment operation defeats any analysis the compiler can perform as to whether the variable may be used before having been initialized. This means we may end up passing on such variables uninitialized, resulting in potential information leaks. So extend the existing structleak GCC plugin so it will [optionally] apply to all struct type variables that have their address taken at any point, rather than only to variables of struct types that have a __user annotation.

The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain. The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on wood!) But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably: With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads. The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems. Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default unwinder on x86. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details. - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal.
