This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount
call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the
whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using
-fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of
NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example,
which would look like this when the call is patched out:
1036b248: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b24c: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b250: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b254: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these
NOPs to:
1036b248: 10 19 57 20 <address of ftrace>
1036b24c: 6f c1 00 80 stw,ma r1,40(sp)
1036b250: 48 21 3f d1 ldw -18(r1),r1
1036b254: e8 20 c0 02 bv,n r0(r1)
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: e8 3f 1f df b,l,n .-c,r1
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into
some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which
holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function,
and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more
complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of
ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for
fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well.
Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a
patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

A 64-bit kernel built without CONFIG_MLONGCALLS (-mlong-calls compiler
option) usually fails to link because of unreachable functions. Try to
work around that linking issue by moving the *.init and *.exit text
segments closer to the main text segment. With that change those
segments now don't get freed at runtime any longer, but since we in most
cases run with huge-page enabled, we ignore the lost memory in
preference of better performance.
This change will not guarantee that every kernel config will now
sucessfully build with short calls and without linking issues.

This patch modifies the initial page mapping functions in the following way:
During bootup the init, text and data pages will be mapped RWX and if
supported, with huge pages.
At final stage of the bootup, the kernel calls free_initmem() and then all
pages will be remapped either R-X (for text and read-only data) or RW- (for
data). The __init pages will be dropped.
This reflects the behaviour of the x86 platform.

This patch adds the necessary code to patch a running kernel at runtime
to improve performance.
The current implementation offers a few optimizations variants:
- When running a SMP kernel on a single UP processor, unwanted assembler
statements like locking functions are overwritten with NOPs. When
multiple instructions shall be skipped, one branch instruction is used
instead of multiple nop instructions.
- In the UP case, some pdtlb and pitlb instructions are patched to
become pdtlb,l and pitlb,l which only flushes the CPU-local tlb
entries instead of broadcasting the flush to other CPUs in the system
and thus may improve performance.
- fic and fdc instructions are skipped if no I- or D-caches are
installed. This should speed up qemu emulation and cacheless systems.
- If no cache coherence is needed for IO operations, the relevant fdc
and sync instructions in the sba and ccio drivers are replaced by
nops.
- On systems which share I- and D-TLBs and thus don't have a seperate
instruction TLB, the pitlb instruction is replaced by a nop.
Live-patching is done early in the boot process, just after having run
the system inventory. No drivers are running and thus no external
interrupts should arrive. So the hope is that no TLB exceptions will
occur during the patching. If this turns out to be wrong we will
probably need to do the patching in real-mode.

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for parisc64.
For pointers that belong to the kernel
- Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
.opd section address range;
- Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
will dereference only function pointers that are within
[__start_opd, __end_opd);
For pointers that belong to a module
- Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Architecturally we need to keep __gp below 0x1000000.
But because of ftrace and tracepoint support, the RO_DATA_SECTION now gets much
bigger than it was before. By moving the linkage tables before RO_DATA_SECTION
we can avoid that __gp gets positioned at a too high address.

messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in

Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the

When building a 64bit kernel sometimes functions in the .init section were not
able to reach the standard kernel function. Main reason for this problem is,
that the linkage tables (.plt, .opd, .dlt) tend to become pretty huge and thus
the distance gets too big for short calls.
One option to avoid this is to use the -mlong-calls compiler option, but this
increases the binary size and introduces a performance penalty.
Instead, with this patch we just lay out the binary differently. Init code is
stored first, followed by text, R/O and finally R/W data. This means, that init
and text code is now much closer to each other, which is sufficient to reach
each other by short calls.

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to
detect kernel stack overflows.
Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to
introduce too much overhead.
Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel
stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be
easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which
is zero when running inside the kernel.
Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of
the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel
vmlinux.ld.S linker script.

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to boot
because the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section
at the very start of the image. As a result, the initial transfer of control
jumps to an unexpected location. Fix this by placing the head text in a
separate section so the stubs for .text are not at the start of the image.

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.
Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed. This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache. If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.
As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable. The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

This patch adds the ftrace debugging functionality to the parisc kernel.
It will currently only work with 64bit kernels, because the gcc options -pg
and -ffunction-sections can't be enabled at the same time and -ffunction-sections
is still needed to be able to link 32bit kernels.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.
This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy
us much good.

We have the macro _AC() generally available now
so the calculation of PAGE_SIZE can be made
assembler compatible.
Introduce use of _AC() and kill all users of
ASM_PAGE_SIZE.

Introduce a consistent layout of vmlinux.
The same layout has been introduced for most
architectures.
And the same time move a few label definitions inside
the curly brackets so they are assigned the correct
starting address. Before a ld inserted alignment
would have casued the label to pint before the actual
start of the section.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).
Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.
