Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.
On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.
All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"
Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{mips,x86}/Kconfig files due to nearby
modifications of other core architecture options.

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler
internal data structures and providing the scheduler domains in
colorfully inconsistent ways, we now have generic scheduler code in
kernel/sched/core.c:sched_init_numa() that looks at the architecture's
node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a
NUMA topology from it.
This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better.
There are various smaller optimizations, cleanups and fixlets as well"

advantage of IBS transparently.

external tools like powertop to rely on.

modules and related code
- infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling

improvements.
- typing 'make' in tools/ will now give you a menu of projects to

There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it
forces all users to depend on NET to tell they support BPF_JIT. Move

Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef99: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end
|
|
This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.
GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols
that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
purpose.
See for example
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052
We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
not some rare unusual case.
This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
code base."

(*) That's a manly release numbering system. Stupid, sure. But manly.

When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it
is an absolute or relative symbol. This should make it a lot more
clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find
the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.

GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
symbols. Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
relative symbols.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]

Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch:
"perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object"
That depends on:
commit e7c72d8
perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing
Conflicts:
tools/perf/builtin-stat.c
Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the
result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope
with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits
were not used.

We know both register and value for eoi beforehand,
so there's no need to check it and no need to do math
to calculate the msr. Saves instructions/branches
on each EOI when using x2apic.
I looked at the objdump output to verify that the
generated code looks right and actually is shorter.
The real improvemements will be on the KVM guest side
though, those come in a later patch.

Despite lots of investigation into why this is needed we don't
know or have an elegant cure. The only answer found on this
laptop is to mark a problem region as used so that Linux doesn't
put anything there.
Currently all the users add reserve= command lines and anyone
not knowing this needs to find the magic page that documents it.

It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.
There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.
Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.
So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.
There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:
sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }
where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.
Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.
Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

To remove duplicate code, have the ftrace arch_ftrace_update_code()
use the generic ftrace_modify_all_code(). This requires that the
default ftrace_replace_code() becomes a weak function so that an

If we've determined we can't do what the user asked, trying to do
something else isn't going to make the user's life better.
Without this the screen scrolls a bit and then you get a panic
anyway, and it's nice not to have so much scroll after the real

Section 15.3.1.2 of the software developer manual has this to say about the
RIPV bit in the IA32_MCG_STATUS register:
RIPV (restart IP valid) flag, bit 0 — Indicates (when set) that program
execution can be restarted reliably at the instruction pointed to by the
instruction pointer pushed on the stack when the machine-check exception
is generated. When clear, the program cannot be reliably restarted at
the pushed instruction pointer.
We need to save the state of this bit in do_machine_check() and use it
in mce_notify_process() to force a signal; even if memory_failure() says
it made a complete recovery ... e.g. replaced a clean LRU page.

Since percpu_xxx() serial functions are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx().
Removing percpu_xxx() definition and replacing them by this_cpu_xxx()
in code. There is no function change in this patch, just preparation for
later percpu_xxx serial function removing.
On x86 machine the this_cpu_xxx() serial functions are same as
__this_cpu_xxx() without no unnecessary premmpt enable/disable.
Thanks for Stephen Rothwell, he found and fixed a i386 build error in
the patch.
Also thanks for Andrew Morton, he kept updating the patchset in Linus'
