[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

hpet: Optimize local variable data type in hpet_alloc()

2024-07-31T11:12:02+00:00

The local variable period uses at most 32 bits and can be a u32 instead of unsigned long. The upper 32 bits are all 0 after masking and right shifting cap by HPET_COUNTER_CLK_PERIOD_SHIFT and can be discarded. Since do_div() casts the divisor to u32 anyway, changing the data type of period to u32 also removes the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning reported by do_div.cocci: WARNING: do_div() does a 64-by-32 division, please consider using div64_ul instead Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240710215238.799239-2-thorsten.blum@toblux.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

2023-11-02T06:51:41+00:00

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value: - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded check for procname == NULL. The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now" * tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (23 commits) watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init intel drm: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array Drivers: hv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array raid: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array fw loader: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array sgi-xp: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array vrf: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array char-misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array infiniband: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array macintosh: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array parport: Remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array scsi: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array tty: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array xen: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array hpet: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array c-sky: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_talbe array powerpc: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table arrays riscv: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array x86/vdso: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array ...

hpet: Annotate struct hpets with __counted_by

2023-10-05T11:34:05+00:00

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct hpets.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17+00:00

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
