There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.
The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)
I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.
Remove the other header test functionality.

scripts/nsdeps is written to take care of only in-tree modules.
Perhaps, this is not a bug, but just a design. At least,
Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst focuses on in-tree modules.
Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules.
So, it would be nice to support it.

The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps
files.
Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information.
This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel
when the -j option is given.
On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread.
I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files.
This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file,
modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format:
<module_name>: <list of missing namespaces>
Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones.
So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good.
This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process
already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the
nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.
This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu:

Since commit 040fcc819a2e ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in
the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it.
It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external
module incrementally.
The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy
Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol
information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file
sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside.
Some time later, commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach.
So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external
module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically.
With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module
flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it
instead.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-11-01
This series contains updates to e1000, igb, igc, ixgbe, i40e and driver
documentation.
Lyude Paul fixes an issue where a fatal read error occurs when the
device is unplugged from the machine. So change the read error into a
warn while the device is still present.
Manfred Rudigier found that the i350 device was not apart of the "Media
Auto Sense" feature, yet the device supports it. So add the missing
i350 device to the check and fix an issue where the media auto sense
would flip/flop when no cable was connected to the port causing spurious
kernel log messages.
I fixed an issue where the fix to resolve receive buffer starvation was
applied in more than one place in the driver, one being the incorrect
location in the i40e driver.
Wenwen Wang fixes a potential memory leak in e1000 where allocated
memory is not properly cleaned up in one of the error paths.
Jonathan Neuschäfer cleans up the driver documentation to be consistent
and remove the footnote reference, since the footnote no longer exists in
the documentation.
Igor Pylypiv cleans up a duplicate clearing of a bit, no need to clear
it twice.
v2: Fixed alignment issue in patch 3 of the series based on community
feedback.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"These are almost exclusively related to CPU errata in CPUs from
Broadcom and Qualcomm where the workarounds were either not being
enabled when they should have been or enabled when they shouldn't have
been.
The only "interesting" fix is ensuring that writeable, shared mappings
are initially mapped as clean since we inadvertently broke the logic
back in v4.14 and then noticed the problem via code inspection the
other day.
The only critical issue we have outstanding is a sporadic NULL
dereference in the scheduler, which doesn't appear to be
arm64-specific and PeterZ is tearing his hair out over it at the
moment.

tcp_max_syn_backlog default value depends on memory size
and TCP ehash size. Before this patch, the max value
was 2048 [1], which is considered too small nowadays.

SOMAXCONN is /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn default value.
It has been defined as 128 more than 20 years ago.
Since it caps the listen() backlog values, the very small value has
caused numerous problems over the years, and many people had
to raise it on their hosts after beeing hit by problems.
Google has been using 1024 for at least 15 years, and we increased
this to 4096 after TCP listener rework has been completed, more than
4 years ago. We got no complain of this change breaking any
legacy application.
Many applications indeed setup a TCP listener with listen(fd, -1);
meaning they let the system select the backlog.
Raising SOMAXCONN lowers chance of the port being unavailable under
even small SYNFLOOD attack, and reduces possibilities of side channel
vulnerabilities.

Rename SD3 functions and groups to EMMC to better reflect their intended
use before the binding escapes too far into the wild. Also clean up the
SD3 pin groups to eliminate some silliness that slipped through the
cracks (SD3DAT[4-7]) by unifying them into three new groups: EMMCG1,
EMMCG4 and EMMCG8 for 1, 4 and 8-bit data buses respectively.

Commit 8974558f49a6 ("mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump
freeing stack trace") enhanced page_owner to also store freeing stack
trace, when debug_pagealloc is also enabled. KASAN would also like to
do this [1] to improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues.
Kirill has suggested that the freeing stack trace saving should be also
possible to be enabled separately from KASAN or debug_pagealloc, i.e.
with an extra boot option. Qian argued that we have enough options
already, and avoiding the extra overhead is not worth the complications
in the case of a debugging option. Kirill noted that the extra stack
handle in struct page_owner requires 0.1% of memory.
This patch therefore enables free stack saving whenever page_owner is
enabled, regardless of whether debug_pagealloc or KASAN is also enabled.
KASAN kernels booted with page_owner=on will thus benefit from the
improved error reports.

C++17 introduced it, as it is mentioned above. I would keep the

I was told by Aaron Ballman (who is proposing them for C) that it is
more or less likely that it becomes standardized in C2x. However, it
is still not added to the draft (other attributes are already,
though). See N2268 and N2269:

We came close to disabling the thing entirely, but Vincenzo was quick

- Numerous fixes to the compat vDSO build system, especially when
combining gcc and clang
- Fix parsing of PAR_EL1 in spurious kernel fault detection
- Partial workaround for Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419
- Fix IRQ priority masking on entry from compat syscalls
- Fix advertisment of FRINT HWCAP to userspace

In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned
(i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes.
That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that
alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then
developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with
specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently
evidenced in [2].
The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a
'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying
on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either
require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only
give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic
alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size).
Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult
workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc()
alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all
configurations. What this means for the three available allocators?
* SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The
implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for
caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at
least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment,
which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all
arches and cache sizes.
* SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache.
With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as
well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be
acceptable in a debugging scenario.
* SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for
kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While
pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing,
after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory
was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with
difference in the noise.

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.
This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:
1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
scanned. (?!)
* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.
Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:
1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
*any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full
weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
at all.
2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However,
protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
have some elasticity in the workload.
3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
to the current binary reclaim behaviour.
With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.
As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.
Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.
In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:
1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
binary.
To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
workload cgroup:
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% |

As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
control kernel (without this patch).
2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
premature OOMs.
To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly
protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
progress to become arrested.

Currently execution of panic() continues until Xen's panic notifier
(xen_panic_event()) is called at which point we make a hypercall that
never returns.
This means that any notifier that is supposed to be called later as
well as significant part of panic() code (such as pstore writes from
kmsg_dump()) is never executed.
There is no reason for xen_panic_event() to be this last point in
execution since panic()'s emergency_restart() will call into
xen_emergency_restart() from where we can perform our hypercall.
Nevertheless, we will provide xen_legacy_crash boot option that will
preserve original behavior during crash. This option could be used,
for example, if running kernel dumper (which happens after panic
notifiers) is undesirable.

It turns out that what was thought to be the module clock was actually the
clock meant to be used by the sensor, and isn't playing any role with the
CSI controller itself. Let's drop that clock from our binding.

In commit 43d8ce9d65a5 ("Provide in-kernel headers to make
extending kernel easier") a new mechanism was introduced, for kernels
>=5.2, which embeds the kernel headers in the kernel image or a module
and exposes them in procfs for use by userland tools.
The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by
header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the
default behaviour.
In commit f7b101d33046 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was
modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was
renamed to what is being patched.
