Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.
The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.
The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".
The following options are impacted:
- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP
Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.
The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):
- arm
- arm64
- ia64
- loongarch
- m68k
- mips
- parisc
- powerpc
- riscv
- s390
- sh
- x86
More information:
In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot
un/plug"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG.
In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option
not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common
home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been
duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor
differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/
To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate
the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has
the following themes:
- KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec
- These items from arch/Kconfig:
CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
- These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP
- These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec
- The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig.
- To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>
option. These gateway options determine whether the common options
options are valid for the architecture.
- To account for the slight differences in the original architecture
coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects
as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options.
An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu:
> General setup > Kexec and crash features
[*] Enable kexec system call
[*] Enable kexec file based system call
[*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support
[*] kexec jump
[*] kernel crash dumps
[*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes
In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered
slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the
architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution:
- Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>'
statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement.
This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent
options from appearing for architectures which previously did
not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not
KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options
are not available to arm.
- The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to
determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the
feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>.
For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH
options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement.
For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits
the KEXEC_FILE option to be available.
If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding
of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool
expression. For example, arm64 had:
config KEXEC
depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP
and in this solution, this converts to:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP
- In order to account for the architecture differences in the
coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the
arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on
<option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from
there can insert the differences from the common option and the
arch original coding of that option.
For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for
KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and
'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements.
Illustrating the option relationships:
For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option>
<option> # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
For example, KEXEC:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC
KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

Testing Approach and Results
There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories.
For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and
after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach
allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide
variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring
compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time
testing.
For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig
targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems
as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check
since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after,
even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is
different.
As such, the following script steps compare the before and after
of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series
are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if
they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise.
The script performs the test by doing the following:
# Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
git checkout master
git branch -D test_Kconfig
git checkout -B test_Kconfig master
make distclean
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden"
scoreboard .config
# Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
make distclean
# Apply this Kconfig series
git am <this Kconfig series>
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed"
scoreboard .config
# Determine test result
# Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series
# Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard
# Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL
The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it
continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution
presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script,
with the following exceptions:
- arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig
This config file has:
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.
- arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig
The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU
(which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided
but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP.
But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in
arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled.
This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.
While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original,
the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP
handling).
This patch (of 14)
The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.
The following options are impacted:
- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP
The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.
Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.
Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.
To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
"struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
for all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
of them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
"The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
everyone and we can proceed.
Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
necessary anymore.
Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"

We started disabling '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-12 originally on s390,
because it resulted in some warnings that weren't realistically fixable
(commit 8b202ee21839: "s390: disable -Warray-bounds").
That s390-specific issue was then found to be less common elsewhere, but
generic (see f0be87c42cbd: "gcc-12: disable '-Warray-bounds' universally
for now"), and then later expanded the version check was expanded to
gcc-11 (5a41237ad1d4: "gcc: disable -Warray-bounds for gcc-11 too").
And it turns out that I was much too optimistic in thinking that it's
all going to go away, and here we are with gcc-13 showing all the same
issues. So instead of expanding this one version at a time, let's just
disable it for gcc-11+, and put an end limit to it only when we actually
find a solution.
Yes, I'm sure some of this is because the kernel just does odd things
(like our "container_of()" use, but also knowingly playing games with
things like linker tables and array layouts).
And yes, some of the warnings are likely signs of real bugs, but when
there are hundreds of false positives, that doesn't really help.
Oh well.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e35
("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions
of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four
years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of
userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel
developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd6b ("SYSFS: Allow boot
time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow
them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter
to be used to switch back to the old format if needed.
Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was
slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed,
and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in
the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are
used instead of symlinks like normal.
Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and
all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older
non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs
representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the
config entries from the kernel.

on socket by socket basis.
- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.
- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.
- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage

reporting.
- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).
BPF:
- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.
- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.
- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to

years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.
- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.
Driver API:

preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.
- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.
- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into

a specific point in the action chain).
- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.
- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

When a kernel is built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y, the intention
will normally be to unconditionally provide the specified kernel-boot
arguments to the kernel, as opposed to requiring a separately provided
bootconfig parameter. Therefore, make the BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE Kconfig
option default to y in kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y.
The old semantics may be obtained by manually overriding this default.

The BOOT_CONFIG family of Kconfig options allows a bootconfig file
containing kernel boot parameters to be embedded into an initrd or into
the kernel itself. This can be extremely useful when deploying kernels
in cases where some of the boot parameters depend on the kernel version
rather than on the server hardware, firmware, or workload.
Unfortunately, the "bootconfig" kernel parameter must be specified in
order to cause the kernel to look for the embedded bootconfig file,
and it clearly does not help to embed this "bootconfig" kernel parameter
into that file.
Therefore, provide a new BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE Kconfig option that causes the
kernel to act as if the "bootconfig" kernel parameter had been specified.
In other words, kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y will look
for the embedded bootconfig file even when the "bootconfig" kernel
parameter is omitted. This permits kernel-version-dependent kernel
boot parameters to be embedded into the kernel image without the need to
(for example) update large numbers of boot loaders.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
- Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
callbacks
- Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have done this for many years)
- Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
this should not (yet) affect production use cases)
- Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
admittedly on a microbenchmark
This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
kfree_rcu(p, rh)
- SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
powerpc architecture
This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
critical section to be handed off from one task to another
- Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
merge window
- RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
- A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang
- A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
result in a too-short grace period
- A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU
- Torture-test updates and fixes
- Torture-test scripting updates and fixes
- Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units (CUs)
of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not currently supported
by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging enabled it
results in malformed kernel and module binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole
to exclude Rust CUs until support for it arrives.

We had already disabled this warning for gcc-12 due to bugs in the value
range analysis, but it turns out we end up having some similar problems
with gcc-11.3 too, so let's disable it there too.
Older gcc versions end up being increasingly less relevant, and
hopefully clang and newer version of gcc (ie gcc-13) end up working
reliably enough that we still get the build coverage even when we
disable this for some versions.

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.
This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.
The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:
- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
restricted cgroup cpuset per container.
One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.
On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.
Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.
The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].
The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:
* perf bench sched messaging (process)
Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms
* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)
Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms
With mm_cid: 84.7±2.6 ms
* hackbench (process)
Baseline: 82.9±2.7 ms
With mm_cid: 82.9±2.9 ms
* hackbench (threaded)
Baseline: 85.2±2.6 ms
With mm_cid: 84.4±2.9 ms

"Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of
kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while
also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.
The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 *
kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also
have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.
Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
we do module decompression in userspace.
The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization
by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The
rest is cleanups and minor fixes"

Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions
kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate
of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address
values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the
corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to
determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above
three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the
traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60
symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once
every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols.
If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test
results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform
subsequent performance tests.
Start self-test automatically after system startup if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.
Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.

make menuconfig screams like this:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN
Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n]

CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would select PROC_CHILDREN which depends on PROC_FS,
so add depends on PROC_FS to CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to fix this.

Since 2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part
of memory control"), CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP hasn't been a user-visible config
option anymore, it just means CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SWAP.
Update the sites accordingly and drop the symbol.
[ While touching the docs, remove two references to CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM,
which hasn't been a user-visible symbol for over half a decade. ]

Distro kernels tend to be moving to VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, and there
is not much reason why PPC64 should be special here. Remove the special
case and make the ppc64 and pseries defconfigs use GEN accounting
(others will use TICK, as-per Kconfig defaults).
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does provide scaled vtime and stolen time
apportioned between system and user time, and vtime accounting is not
unconditionally enabled, and possibly other things. But it would be
better at this point to extend GEN to cover important missing features
rather than directing users back to a less used option.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
has been there for 3 weeks"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"Several core optimizations:
- threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring
controllers in empty subtrees.
Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common static
usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still
doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately).
- threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default
due to latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason
for everyone else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional.
- psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms
- Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
account for both normal and expedited grace periods
- Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
system with 15,000 tasks.
The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead
- Torture-test updates
- Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
context independently of RCU.
This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
