2017-09-07modpost: simplify sec_name()Masahiro Yamada1-16/+11
There is code duplication between sec_name() and sech_name(). Simplify sec_name() by re-using sech_name(). Also, move them up to remove the forward declaration of sec_name().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain. The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on wood!) But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably: With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads. The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems. Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default unwinder on x86. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details. - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal.

dtc uses an incorrect format specifier for printing a uint64_t value. uint64_t may be either 'unsigned long' or 'unsigned long long' depending on the host architecture. Fix this by using %llx and casting to unsigned long long, which ensures that we always have a wide enough variable to print 64 bits of hex.

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x, with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups. So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install it via a Python virtual environment. While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of requirements for all distributions. With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole. Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if such extension is not available. So, let's just disable all texlive packages as a whole.

2017-07-26x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinderJosh Poimboeuf1-4/+10
Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

2017-07-25objtool: Fix gcov check for older versions of GCCJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+3
Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable instructions and they don't really matter. However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4. As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the 'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do. Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new '--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined. Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new 'no_unreachable' variable.

2017-07-13scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: use explicit encoding=utf8 errors=replaceLeonard Crestez1-3/+10
Use errors=replace because it is never desirable for lx-dmesg to fail on string decoding errors, not even if the log buffer is corrupt and we show incorrect info. The kernel will sometimes print utf8, for example the copyright symbol from jffs2. In order to make this work specify 'utf8' everywhere because python2 otherwise defaults to 'ascii'. In theory the second errors='replace' is not be required because everything that can be decoded as utf8 should also be encodable back to utf8. But it's better to be extra safe here. It's worth noting that this is definitely not true for encoding='ascii', unknown characters are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and they fail to encode back to ascii.

2017-07-13scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: cast log_buf to void* for addr fetchLeonard Crestez1-1/+1
In some cases it is possible for the str() conversion here to throw encoding errors because log_buf might not point to valid ascii. For example: (gdb) python print str(gdb.parse_and_eval("log_buf")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) Avoid this by explicitly casting to (void *) inside the gdb expression.

2017-07-13scripts/gdb: add lx-fdtdump commandPeter Griffin2-0/+80
lx-fdtdump dumps the flattened device tree passed to the kernel from the bootloader to the filename specified as the command argument. If no argument is provided it defaults to fdtdump.dtb. This then allows further post processing on the machine running GDB. The fdt header is also also printed in the GDB console. For example: (gdb) lx-fdtdump fdt_magic: 0xD00DFEED fdt_totalsize: 0xC108 off_dt_struct: 0x38 off_dt_strings: 0x3804 off_mem_rsvmap: 0x28 version: 17 last_comp_version: 16 Dumped fdt to fdtdump.dtb >fdtdump fdtdump.dtb | less This command is useful as the bootloader can often re-write parts of the device tree, and this can sometimes cause the kernel to not boot.

2017-07-11kbuild: remove wrapper files handling from Makefile.headersinstMasahiro Yamada1-10/+1
scripts/Makefike.headersinst creates asm-generic wrappers by itself because scripts/Makefile.asm-generic created some of exported wrappers outside uapi directories. Now this distortion has been fixed. scripts/Makefile.headersinst can simply copy wrappers created by scripts/Makefile.asm-generic. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

2017-07-11checkpatch: change format of --color argument to --color[=WHEN]John Brooks1-6/+29
The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when the output is a terminal. The default is "auto". The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.
