x86/kconfig: Select ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS again when UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y

2024-05-20T09:37:23+00:00

It took me some time to understand the purpose of the tricky code at the end of arch/x86/Kconfig.debug. Without it, the following would be shown: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for FRAME_POINTER because 81d387190039 ("x86/kconfig: Consolidate unwinders into multiple choice selection") removed 'select ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS'. The correct and more straightforward approach should have been to move it where 'select FRAME_POINTER' is located. Several architectures properly handle the conditional selection of ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS. For example, 'config UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER' in arch/arm/Kconfig.debug.

docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/

2023-03-30T18:58:51+00:00

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more closely match the structure of the source directories it describes. All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

arch: make TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT generic

2022-06-23T14:39:21+00:00

On most architectures, IRQ flag tracing is disabled in NMI context, and architectures need to define and select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT in order to enable this. Commit: 859d069ee1ddd878 ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking") Permitted IRQ flag tracing in NMI context, allowing lockdep to work in NMI context where an architecture had suitable entry logic. At the time, most architectures did not have such suitable entry logic, and this broke lockdep on such architectures. Thus, this was partially disabled in commit: ed00495333ccc80f ("locking/lockdep: Fix TRACE_IRQFLAGS vs. NMIs") ... with architectures needing to select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT to enable IRQ flag tracing in NMI context. Currently TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is defined under arch/x86/Kconfig.debug. Move it to arch/Kconfig so architectures can select it without having to provide their own definition. Since the regular TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is selected by arch/x86/Kconfig, the select of TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is moved there too. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL

2022-04-22T10:32:03+00:00

Now that stack validation is an optional feature of objtool, add CONFIG_OBJTOOL and replace most usages of CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION with it. CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION can now be considered to be frame-pointer specific. CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is already inherently valid for live patching, so no need to "validate" it.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-10-06T09:18:04+00:00

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

locking/lockdep: Fix TRACE_IRQFLAGS vs. NMIs

2020-07-27T13:13:29+00:00

Prior to commit: 859d069ee1dd ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking") IRQ state tracking was disabled in NMIs due to nmi_enter() doing lockdep_off() -- with the obvious requirement that NMI entry call nmi_enter() before trace_hardirqs_off(). [ AFAICT, PowerPC and SH violate this order on their NMI entry ] However, that commit explicitly changed lockdep_hardirqs_*() to ignore lockdep_off() and breaks every architecture that has irq-tracing in it's NMI entry that hasn't been fixed up (x86 being the only fixed one at this point). The reason for this change is that by ignoring lockdep_off() we can: - get rid of 'current->lockdep_recursion' in lockdep_assert_irqs*() which was going to to give header-recursion issues with the seqlock rework. - allow these lockdep_assert_*() macros to function in NMI context. Restore the previous state of things and allow an architecture to opt-in to the NMI IRQ tracking support, however instead of relying on lockdep_off(), rely on in_nmi(), both are part of nmi_enter() and so over-all entry ordering doesn't need to change.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
