static_call: Allow module use without exposing static_call_key

2021-03-30T12:30:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73f44fe19d359635a607e8e8daa0da4001c1cfc2 ] When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is not desirable in general. Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the static_call_site. Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list. Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another magic section that keeps those.

static_call: Pull some static_call declarations to the type headers

2021-03-30T12:30:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 880cfed3a012d7863f42251791cea7fe78c39390 ] Some static call declarations are going to be needed on low level header files. Move the necessary material to the dedicated static call types header to avoid inclusion dependency hell.

mm, page_poison: remove CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7d7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the contents on free without checking it back on alloc. These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc). Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.
