Merge tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

2020-10-14T21:32:52+00:00

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner: "During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static. This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the better strategy. I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge window" * tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: sched: remove _do_fork() tracing: switch to kernel_clone() kgdbts: switch to kernel_clone() kprobes: switch to kernel_clone() x86: switch to kernel_clone() sparc: switch to kernel_clone() nios2: switch to kernel_clone() m68k: switch to kernel_clone() ia64: switch to kernel_clone() h8300: switch to kernel_clone() fork: introduce kernel_clone()

tracing: switch to kernel_clone()

2020-08-20T11:12:59+00:00

The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper. The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

kprobes: switch to kernel_clone()

docs: move remaining stuff under Documentation/*.txt to Documentation/staging

2020-06-19T20:17:05+00:00

There are several files that I was unable to find a proper place for them, and 3 ones that are still in plain old text format. Let's place those stuff behind the carpet, as we'd like to keep the root directory clean. We can later discuss and move those into better places.

arch: remove tile port

2018-03-16T09:56:03+00:00

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: Kernel: - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications, improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook) - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics) fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter Zijlstra) - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86 user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen) Tooling: - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian Wolff) - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in 'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown, Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi Kleen, Kan Liang) - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights Mill (Kan Liang) - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they don't.
