arm64: Disable branch profiling for all arm64 code

2026-03-04T12:21:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit f22c81bebf8bda6e54dc132df0ed54f6bf8756f9 ] The arm64 kernel doesn't boot with annotated branches (PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES) enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL together. Bisecting it, I found that disabling branch profiling in arch/arm64/mm solved the problem. Narrowing down a bit further, I found that physaddr.c is the file that needs to have branch profiling disabled to get the machine to boot. I suspect that it might invoke some ftrace helper very early in the boot process and ftrace is still not enabled(!?). Rather than playing whack-a-mole with individual files, disable branch profiling for the entire arch/arm64 tree, similar to what x86 already does in arch/x86/Kbuild.

kbuild: use more subdir- for visiting subdirectories while cleaning

2021-10-24T04:49:46+00:00

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement. Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j) for "make clean". I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep" target no longer exists.

arm64: hyperv: Add Hyper-V hypercall and register access utilities

2021-08-04T16:54:36+00:00

hyperv-tlfs.h defines Hyper-V interfaces from the Hyper-V Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS), and #includes the architecture-independent part of hyperv-tlfs.h in include/asm-generic. The published TLFS is distinctly oriented to x86/x64, so the ARM64-specific hyperv-tlfs.h includes information for ARM64 that is not yet formally published. The TLFS is available here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs mshyperv.h defines Linux-specific structures and routines for interacting with Hyper-V on ARM64, and #includes the architecture- independent part of mshyperv.h in include/asm-generic. Use these definitions to provide utility functions to make Hyper-V hypercalls and to get and set Hyper-V provided registers associated with a virtual processor.

bpf: Fix BPF_JIT kconfig symbol dependency

2021-05-20T21:48:37+00:00

Randy reported a randconfig build error recently on i386: ld: arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.o: in function `do_jit': bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x28c9): undefined reference to `__bpf_call_base' ld: arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.o: in function `bpf_int_jit_compile': bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3694): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_blind_constants' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3719): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_binary_free' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x3745): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_binary_alloc' ld: bpf_jit_comp32.c:(.text+0x37d3): undefined reference to `bpf_jit_prog_release_other' [...] The cause was that b24abcff918a ("bpf, kconfig: Add consolidated menu entry for bpf with core options") moved BPF_JIT from net/Kconfig into kernel/bpf/Kconfig and previously BPF_JIT was guarded by a 'if NET'. However, there is no actual dependency on NET, it's just that menuconfig NET selects BPF. And the latter in turn causes kernel/bpf/core.o to be built which contains above symbols. Randy's randconfig didn't have NET set, and BPF wasn't either, but BPF_JIT otoh was. Detangle this by making BPF_JIT depend on BPF instead. arm64 was the only arch that pulled in its JIT in net/ via obj-$(CONFIG_NET), all others unconditionally pull this dir in via obj-y. Do the same since CONFIG_NET guard there is really useless as we compiled the JIT via obj-$(CONFIG_BPF_JIT) += bpf_jit_comp.o anyway.
