Although dynamic debug is often only used for debug builds, sometimes its enabled for production builds as well. Minimize its impact by using jump labels. This reduces the text section by 7000+ bytes in the kernel image below. It does increase data, but this should only be referenced when changing the direction of the branches, and hence usually not in cache. text data bss dec hex filename 8194852 4879776 925696 14000324 d5a0c4 vmlinux.pre 8187337 4960224 925696 14073257 d6bda9 vmlinux.post Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d165b465e8c89bc582d973758d40be44c33f018b.1467837322.git.jbaron@akamai.comSigned-off-by:Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: "David S.

The current jump_label.h includes bug.h for things such as WARN_ON(). This makes the header problematic for inclusion by kernel.h or any headers that kernel.h includes, since bug.h includes kernel.h (circular dependency). The inclusion of atomic.h is similarly problematic. Thus, this should make jump_label.h 'includable' from most places.

Previously, all the __exit sections were just dropped by the link phase. However, if there are static_key (jump label) constructs in __exit sections that are not modules, the link fails with the message: `.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of xxx.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of xxx.o Support this usage by keeping the .exit.text sections in the final image if JUMP_LABEL is defined, then discarding them once initialization is complete.

Arnd Bergmann authored
The addition of jump label support in dynamic_debug caused an unexpected warning in exactly one file in the kernel: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c: In function 'cxd2841er_tune_tc': include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:134:3: error: 'carrier_offset' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] __dynamic_dev_dbg(&descriptor, dev, fmt, \ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c:3177:11: note: 'carrier_offset' was declared here int ret, carrier_offset; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The problem seems to be that the compiler gets confused by the extra conditionals in static_branch_unlikely, to the point where it can no longer keep track of which branches have already been taken, and it doesn't realize that this variable is now always initialized when it gets used. I have done lots of randconfig kernel builds and could not find any other file with this behavior, so I assume it's a rare enough glitch that we don't need to change the jump label support but instead just work around the warning in the driver. To achieve that, I'm moving the check for the return value into the switch() statement, which is an obvious transformation, but is enough to un-confuse the compiler here. The resulting code is not as nice to read, but at least we retain the behavior of warning if it gets changed to actually access an uninitialized carrier offset value in the future.

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit acc93d30 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"") However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN. This config option was introduced in commit 03cdadb0 ("block: disable block device DAX by default") This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value. Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them): virtual patch virtual context @r@ identifier f, attrs; @@ f(..., - struct dma_attrs *attrs + unsigned long attrs , ...) { ... } @@ identifier r.f; @@ f(..., - NULL + 0 ) and // Options: --all-includes virtual patch virtual context @r@ identifier f, attrs; type t; @@ t f(..., struct dma_attrs *attrs); @@ identifier r.f; @@ f(..., - NULL + 0 ) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468399300-5399-2-git-send-email-k.kozlowski@samsung.comSigned-off-by:Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> Acked-by:

Masahiro Yamada authored
The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention clearer. This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible. This commit is only touching bool config options. I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate option: - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON) [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ] - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ] I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN() in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors' intention.

While not an issue now, eventually we will have independent users of the extable.h file and we will stop sourcing it via module.h header. In testing that pending work, with very sparse builds, characteristic of an "allnoconfig" on various architectures, we can sometimes hit an instance where the very basic standard definitions aren't present, resulting in: include/linux/extable.h:26:9: error: 'NULL' undeclared (first use in this function) To be clear, this isn't a regression, since currently extable.h is only used by module.h -- however, we will need this addition present before we start migrating exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h during the next release cycle.

For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just including module.h for this. The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not normally care about the exception tables. Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the module.h itself. Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch specific files needing just exception table content, and move them off module.h and onto extable.h Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures into the git history. The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks generally out of place.

Prarit Bhargava authored
Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss, and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT. This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name. [v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies things. [v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep() [v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted() Signed-off-by:

The issue I have is that this can also be called from the dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop... ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/module.c:268 module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x3c/0x3e Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv6 CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.7.0-rc3-test-00013-g501c2375 #14 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 ffff880215e8fa70 ffff880215e8fa70 ffffffff812fc8e3 0000000000000000 ffffffff81d3e55b ffff880215e8fac0 ffffffff8104fc88 ffffffff8104fcab 0000000915e88300 0000000000000046 ffffffffa019b29a 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812fc8e3>] dump_stack+0x67/0x90 [<ffffffff8104fc88>] __warn+0xcb/0xe9 [<ffffffff8104fcab>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0x5/0x1f ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/module.c:268 module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x3c/0x3e Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv6 CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.7.0-rc3-test-00013-g501c2375 #14 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 ffff880215e8f7a0 ffff880215e8f7a0 ffffffff812fc8e3 0000000000000000 ffffffff81d3e55b ffff880215e8f7f0 ffffffff8104fc88 ffffffff8104fcab 0000000915e88300 0000000000000046 ffffffffa019b29a 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812fc8e3>] dump_stack+0x67/0x90 [<ffffffff8104fc88>] __warn+0xcb/0xe9 [<ffffffff8104fcab>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0x5/0x1f ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/module.c:268 module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x3c/0x3e Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv6 CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.7.0-rc3-test-00013-g501c2375 #14 Hardware name: MSI MS-7823/CSM-H87M-G43 (MS-7823), BIOS V1.6 02/22/2014 ffff880215e8f4d0 ffff880215e8f4d0 ffffffff812fc8e3 0000000000000000 ffffffff81d3e55b ffff880215e8f520 ffffffff8104fc88 ffffffff8104fcab 0000000915e88300 0000000000000046 ffffffffa019b29a 0000000000000001 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812fc8e3>] dump_stack+0x67/0x90 [<ffffffff8104fc88>] __warn+0xcb/0xe9 [<ffffffff8104fcab>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0x5/0x1f ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/module.c:268 module_assert_mutex_or_preempt+0x3c/0x3e [...] Which gives us rather useless information. Worse yet, there's some race that causes this, and I seldom trigger it, so I have no idea what happened. This would not be an issue if that warning was a WARN_ON_ONCE(). Signed-off-by:

This clearly had never gotten tested, probably because you need a fairly minimal configuration in order to disable DEBUG_FS (several other options select it). The dummy inline functions that were used for the no-DEBUG_FS case were missing the argument names in the declarations.

Pull orangefs update from Martin Brandenburg: "Kernel side caching and executable bugfix This allows OrangeFS to utilize the dcache and adds an in kernel attribute cache. We previously used the user side client for this purpose. We see a modest performance increase on small file operations. For example, without the cache, compiling coreutils takes about 17 minutes. With the patch and a 50 millisecond timeout for dcache_timeout_msecs and getattr_timeout_msecs (the default), compiling coreutils takes about 6 minutes 20 seconds. On the same hardware, compiling coreutils on an xfs filesystem takes 90 seconds. We see similar improvements with mdtest and a test involving writing, reading, and deleting a large number of small files. Interested parties can review more data at the following URL. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v4aUeppKexIbRMz_Yn9k4eaM3uy2KCaPoe_93YKWOtA/pubhtml The eventual goal of this is to allow getdents to turn into a readdirplus to the OrangeFS server. The cache will be filled then, which should provide a performance benefit to the common case of readdir followed by getattr on each entry (i.e. ls -l). This also fixes a bug. When orangefs_inode_permission was added, it did not collect i_size from the OrangeFS server, since this presses an unnecessary load on the OrangeFS server. However, it left a case where i_size is never initialized. Then running an executable could fail. With this patch, size is always collected to be inserted into the cache. Thus the bug disappears. If this patch is not accepted during this merge window, we will send a one-line band-aid for this bug instead" * tag 'for-linus-v4.8' of git://github.com/martinbrandenburg/linux: Orangefs: update orangefs.txt orangefs: Account for jiffies wraparound. orangefs: Change default dcache and getattr timeout to 50 msec. orangefs: Allow dcache and getattr cache time to be configured. orangefs: Cache getattr results. orangefs: Use d_time to avoid excessive lookups -
