Pull the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer from Thomas Gleixner:
"The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector,
which relies on compile-time instrumentation, and uses a
watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
The feature was under development for quite some time and has already
found legitimate bugs.
Unfortunately it comes with a limitation, which was only understood
late in the development cycle:
It requires an up to date CLANG-11 compiler
CLANG-11 is not yet released (scheduled for June), but it's the only
compiler today which handles the kernel requirements and especially
the annotations of functions to exclude them from KCSAN
instrumentation correctly.
These annotations really need to work so that low level entry code and
especially int3 text poke handling can be completely isolated.
A detailed discussion of the requirements and compiler issues can be
found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CANpmjNMTsY_8241bS7=XAfqvZHFLrVEkv_uM4aDUWE_kh3Rvbw@mail.gmail.com/
We came to the conclusion that trying to work around compiler
limitations and bugs again would end up in a major trainwreck, so
requiring a working compiler seemed to be the best choice.
For Continous Integration purposes the compiler restriction is
manageable and that's where most xxSAN reports come from.
For a change this limitation might make GCC people actually look at
their bugs. Some issues with CSAN in GCC are 7 years old and one has
been 'fixed' 3 years ago with a half baken solution which 'solved' the
reported issue but not the underlying problem.
The KCSAN developers also ponder to use a GCC plugin to become
independent, but that's not something which will show up in a few
days.
Blocking KCSAN until wide spread compiler support is available is not
a really good alternative because the continuous growth of lockless
optimizations in the kernel demands proper tooling support"

Pull atomics rework from Thomas Gleixner:
"Peter Zijlstras rework of atomics and fallbacks. This solves two
problems:
1) Compilers uninline small atomic_* static inline functions which
can expose them to instrumentation.
2) The instrumentation of atomic primitives was done at the
architecture level while composites or fallbacks were provided at
the generic level. As a result there are no uninstrumented
variants of the fallbacks.
Both issues were in the way of fully isolating fragile entry code
pathes and especially the text poke int3 handler which is prone to an
endless recursion problem when anything in that code path is about to
be instrumented. This was always a problem, but got elevated due to
the new batch mode updates of tracing.
The solution is to mark the functions __always_inline and to flip the
fallback and instrumentation so the non-instrumented variants are at
the architecture level and the instrumentation is done in generic
code.
The latter introduces another fallback variant which will go away once
all architectures have been moved over to arch_atomic_*"

Clang (unlike GCC) removes reads before writes with matching addresses
in the same basic block. This is an optimization for TSAN, since writes
will always cause conflict if the preceding read would have.
However, for KCSAN we cannot rely on this option, because we apply
several special rules to writes, in particular when the
KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC option is selected. To avoid missing
potential data races, pass the -tsan-instrument-read-before-write option
to Clang if it is available [1].

In the kernel, the "volatile" keyword is used in various concurrent
contexts, whether in low-level synchronization primitives or for
legacy reasons. If supported by the compiler, it will be assumed
that aligned volatile accesses up to sizeof(long long) (matching
compiletime_assert_rwonce_type()) are atomic.
Recent versions of Clang [1] (GCC tentative [2]) can instrument
volatile accesses differently. Add the option (required) to enable the
instrumentation, and provide the necessary runtime functions. None of
the updated compilers are widely available yet (Clang 11 will be the
first release to support the feature).

To avoid inserting __tsan_func_{entry,exit}, add option if supported by
compiler. Currently only Clang can be told to not emit calls to these
functions. It is safe to not emit these, since KCSAN does not rely on
them.
Note that, if we disable __tsan_func_{entry,exit}(), we need to disable
tail-call optimization in sanitized compilation units, as otherwise we
may skip frames in the stack trace; in particular when the tail called
function is one of the KCSAN's runtime functions, and a report is
generated, we might miss the function where the actual access occurred.
Since __tsan_func_{entry,exit}() insertion effectively disabled
tail-call optimization, there should be no observable change.
This was caught and confirmed with kcsan-test & UNWINDER_ORC.

Currently instrumentation of atomic primitives is done at the architecture
level, while composites or fallbacks are provided at the generic level.
The result is that there are no uninstrumented variants of the
fallbacks. Since there is now need of such variants to isolate text poke
from any form of instrumentation invert this ordering.
Doing this means moving the instrumentation into the generic code as
well as having (for now) two variants of the fallbacks.
Notes:
- the various *cond_read* primitives are not proper fallbacks
and got moved into linux/atomic.c. No arch_ variants are
generated because the base primitives smp_cond_load*()
are instrumented.
- once all architectures are moved over to arch_atomic_ one of the
fallback variants can be removed and some 2300 lines reclaimed.
- atomic_{read,set}*() are no longer double-instrumented

Use __always_inline for atomic fallback wrappers. When building for size
(CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), some compilers appear to be less inclined to
inline even relatively small static inline functions that are assumed to
be inlinable such as atomic ops. This can cause problems, for example in
UACCESS regions.
While the fallback wrappers aren't pure wrappers, they are trivial
nonetheless, and the function they wrap should determine the final
inlining policy.
For x86 tinyconfig we observe:
- vmlinux baseline: 1315988
- vmlinux with patch: 1315928 (-60 bytes)

[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to

depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.
This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,

Commit 067c650c456e ("dtc: Use pkg-config to locate libyaml") added
'pkg-config --libs' to link libyaml installed in a non-standard
location.
yamltree.c includes <yaml.h>, but that commit did not add the search
path for <yaml.h>. If /usr/include/yaml.h does not exist, it fails to
build. A user can explicitly pass HOSTCFLAGS to work around it, but
the policy is not consistent.
There are two ways to deal with libraries in a non-default location.
[1] Use HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS for additional search paths for
headers and libraries.
They are documented in Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst
$ make HOSTCFLAGS='-I <prefix>/include' HOSTLDFLAGS='-L <prefix>/lib'
[2] Use pkg-config
'pkg-config --cflags' for querying the header search path
'pkg-config --libs' for querying the lib and its path
If we go with pkg-config, use [2] consistently. Do not mix up
[1] and [2].

on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain

mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from

So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump).

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset:
[1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost
[2] modules loaded by read_dump()
I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'.
Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case
does not happen.
[2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without
extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix,
and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because
handle_symbol() is not called for the case.
To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files.
mod->is_dot_o is unneeded.

The -s option was added by commit 8d8d8289df65 ("kbuild: do not do
section mismatch checks on vmlinux in 2nd pass").
Now that the second pass does not parse vmlinux, this option is
unneeded.

get_next_line() is no longer used. Remove.
grab_file() and release_file() are only used in modpost.c. Make them
static.

grab_file() mmaps a file, but it is not so efficient here because
get_next_line() copies every line to the temporary buffer anyway.
read_text_file() and get_line() are simpler. get_line() exploits the
library function strchr().
Going forward, the missing *.symvers or *.cmd is a fatal error.
This should not happen because scripts/Makefile.modpost guards the
-i option files with $(wildcard $(input-symdump)).

One problem of grab_file() is that it cannot distinguish the following
two cases:
- It cannot read the file (the file does not exist, or read permission
is not set)
- It can read the file, but the file size is zero
This is because grab_file() calls mmap(), which requires the mapped
length is greater than 0. Hence, grab_file() fails for both cases.
If an empty header file were included for checksum calculation, the
following warning would be printed:
WARNING: modpost: could not open ...: Invalid argument
An empty file is a valid source file, so it should not fail.
Use read_text_file() instead. It can read a zero-length file.
Then, parse_file() will succeed with doing nothing.
Going forward, the first case (it cannot read the file) is a fatal
error. If the source file from which an object was compiled is missing,
something went wrong.

I do not know how reliably this function works, but it looks dangerous
to me.
strchr(sources, '\n');
... continues searching until it finds '\n' or it reaches the '\0'
terminator. In other words, 'sources' should be a null-terminated
string.
However, grab_file() just mmaps a file, so 'sources' is not terminated
with null byte. If the file does not contain '\n' at all, strchr() will
go beyond the mmap'ed memory.
Use read_text_file(), which loads the file content into a malloc'ed
buffer, appending null byte.
Here we are interested only in the first line of *.mod files. Use
get_line() helper to get the first line.
This also makes missing *.mod file a fatal error.
Commit 4be40e22233c ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for
non-modules") ignored missing *.mod files.
I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit
91341d4b2c19 ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch
analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o
was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files
were created after the modpost check.
Commit b7dca6dd1e59 ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and
remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked
after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the
modpost stage.

modpost uses grab_file() to open a file, but it is not suitable for
a text file because the mmap'ed file is not terminated by null byte.
Actually, I see some issues for the use of grab_file().
The new helper, read_text_file() loads the whole file content into a
malloc'ed buffer, and appends a null byte. Then, get_line() reads
each line.
To handle text files, I intend to replace as follows:
grab_file() -> read_text_file()
get_new_line() -> get_line()

The three calls of get_modinfo() ("license", "import_ns", "version")
always return NULL for vmlinux(.o) because the built-in module info is
prefixed with __MODULE_INFO_PREFIX.
It is harmless to call get_modinfo(), but there is no point to search
for what apparently does not exist.

As far as I understood, this code gets rid of '$Revision$' or '$Revision:'
of CVS, RCS or whatever in MODULE_VERSION() tags.
Remove the primeval code.

If modpost fails to load a symbol dump file, it cannot check unresolved
symbols, hence module dependency will not be added. Nor CRCs can be added.
Currently, external module builds check only $(objtree)/Module.symvers,
but it should check files specified by KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS as well.
Move the warning message from the top Makefile to scripts/Makefile.modpost
and print the warning if any dump file is missing.

check_exports() does not print warnings about unresolved symbols if
vmlinux is missing because there would be too many.
This situation happens when you do 'make modules' from the clean
tree, or compile external modules against a kernel tree that has
not been completely built.
It is dangerous to not check unresolved symbols because you might be
building useless modules. At least it should be warned.

Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked when you run
'make' or 'make modules' even if none of modules is changed.
Use if_changed to invoke it only when it is necessary.

The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for
modules.
The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but
the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file,
presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols.
Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object.
Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second
pass.
A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file,
vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files.
The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same
way as before.
This makes further modpost cleanups possible.
Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote
Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols.
I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked
when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be
generated.

Previously, the -i option had two functions; load a symbol dump file,
and set the external_module flag.
I want to assign a dedicate option for each of them.
Going forward, the -i is used to load a symbol dump file, and the -e
to set the external_module flag.
With this, we will be able to use -i for loading in-kernel symbols.

The -i option is used to include Modules.symver as well as files from
$(KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS).
Make the struct and variable names more generic.

Now that there is no difference between -i and -e, they can be unified.
Make modpost accept the -i option multiple times, then remove -e.
I will reuse -e for a different purpose.

The meaning of sym->kernel is obscure; it is set for in-kernel symbols
loaded from Modules.symvers. This happens only when we are building
external modules, and it is used to determine whether to dump symbols
to $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
It is clearer to remember whether the symbol or module came from a dump
file or ELF object.
This changes the KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS behavior. Previously, symbols
loaded from KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS are accumulated into the current
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers
Going forward, they will be only used to check symbol references, but
not dumped into the current $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Modules.symvers. I believe
this makes more sense.
sym->vmlinux will have no user. Remove it too.
