Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct

2024-12-01T23:12:43Z

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vmlinux.lds.h: Adjust symbol ordering in text output section

2024-11-27T00:38:27Z

When the -ffunction-sections compiler option is enabled, each function is placed in a separate section named .text.function_name rather than putting all functions in a single .text section. However, using -function-sections can cause problems with the linker script. The comments included in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h note these issues.: “TEXT_MAIN here will match .text.fixup and .text.unlikely if dead code elimination is enabled, so these sections should be converted to use ".." first.” It is unclear whether there is a straightforward method for converting a suffix to "..". This patch modifies the order of subsections within the text output section. Specifically, it changes current order: .text.hot, .text, .text_unlikely, .text.unknown, .text.asan to the new order: .text.asan, .text.unknown, .text_unlikely, .text.hot, .text Here is the rationale behind the new layout: The majority of the code resides in three sections: .text.hot, .text, and .text.unlikely, with .text.unknown containing a negligible amount. .text.asan is only generated in ASAN builds. The primary goal is to group code segments based on their execution frequency (hotness). First, we want to place .text.hot adjacent to .text. Since we cannot put .text.hot after .text (Due to constraints with -ffunction-sections, placing .text.hot after .text is problematic), we need to put .text.hot before .text. Then it comes to .text.unlikely, we cannot put it after .text (same -ffunction-sections issue) . Therefore, we position .text.unlikely before .text.hot. .text.unknown and .tex.asan follow the same logic. This revised ordering effectively reverses the original arrangement (for .text.unlikely, .text.unknown, and .tex.asan), maintaining a similar level of affinity between sections. It also places .text.hot section at the beginning of a page to better utilize the TLB entry. Note that the limitation arises because the linker script employs glob patterns instead of regular expressions for string matching. While there is a method to maintain the current order using complex patterns, this significantly complicates the pattern and increases the likelihood of errors. This patch also changes vmlinux.lds.S for the sparc64 architecture to accommodate specific symbol placement requirements.

fs/xattr: add *at family syscalls

2024-11-06T17:59:44Z

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes, especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a /proc//fd/ detour, requiring a mounted procfs. One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts ("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission. Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c. Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.
