ARM: Do not use NOCROSSREFS directive with ld.lld

2022-03-11T09:03:32+00:00

commit 36168e387fa7d0f1fe0cd5cf76c8cea7aee714fa upstream.

ld.lld does not support the NOCROSSREFS directive at the moment, which
breaks the build after commit b9baf5c8c5c3 ("ARM: Spectre-BHB
workaround"):

  ld.lld: error: ./arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:34: AT expected, but got NOCROSSREFS

Support for this directive will eventually be implemented, at which
point a version check can be added. To avoid breaking the build in the
meantime, just define NOCROSSREFS to nothing when using ld.lld, with a
link to the issue for tracking.

ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround

2022-03-11T09:03:31+00:00

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

ARM: use LOADADDR() to get load address of sections

2022-03-11T09:03:31+00:00

commit 8d9d651ff2270a632e9dc497b142db31e8911315 upstream.

Use the linker's LOADADDR() macro to get the load address of the
sections, and provide a macro to set the start and end symbols.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
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
the minimal framework for other architectures.

arm: jump label may reference text in __exit

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The jump table can reference text found in an __exit section.  Thus,
instead of discarding it at build time, include EXIT_TEXT as part of
__init and it will be released when the system boots.

ARM: 8583/1: mm: fix location of _etext

2016-07-02T10:01:30+00:00

The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code,
and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes
with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code
up to _etext. Just to be conservative, leave the kernel resource as
it was, using __init_begin instead of _etext as the end mark.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42+00:00

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to  so that the
users don't need to pull in .  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

2016-03-19T23:31:54+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Another mixture of changes this time around:

   - Split XIP linker file from main linker file to make it more
     maintainable, and various XIP fixes, and clean up a resulting
     macro.

   - Decompressor cleanups from Masahiro Yamada

   - Avoid printing an error for a missing L2 cache

   - Remove some duplicated symbols in System.map, and move
     vectors/stubs back into kernel VMA

   - Various low priority fixes from Arnd

   - Updates to allow bus match functions to return negative errno
     values, touching some drivers and the driver core.  Greg has acked
     these changes.

   - Virtualisation platform udpates form Jean-Philippe Brucker.

   - Security enhancements from Kees Cook

   - Rework some Kconfig dependencies and move PSCI idle management code
     out of arch/arm into drivers/firmware/psci.c

   - ARM DMA mapping updates, touching media, acked by Mauro.

   - Fix places in ARM code which should be using virt_to_idmap() so
     that Keystone2 can work.

   - Fix Marvell Tauros2 to work again with non-DT boots.

   - Provide a delay timer for ARM Orion platforms"

ARM: KVM: Move the HYP code to its own section

2016-02-29T18:34:12+00:00

In order to be able to spread the HYP code into multiple compilation
units, adopt a layout similar to that of arm64:
- the HYP text is emited in its own section (.hyp.text)
- two linker generated symbols are use to identify the boundaries
  of that section

No functionnal change.

ARM: 8536/1: mm: hide __start_rodata_section_aligned for non-debug builds

2016-02-22T11:39:43+00:00

The __start_rodata_section_aligned is only referenced by the
DEBUG_RODATA code, which is only used when the MMU is enabled,
but the definition fails on !MMU builds:

arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:702: undefined symbol `SECTION_SHIFT' referenced in expression

This hides the symbol whenever DEBUG_RODATA is disabled.
