<title>ARM: 9458/1: module: Ensure the override of module_arch_freeing_init()</title>

<content type='text'>
The function module_arch_freeing_init() defined in arch/arm/kernel/module.c
is supposed to override a weak function of the same name defined in
kernel/module/main.c. However, the ARM override is also marked as weak,
which means that selecting the correct function unnecessarily depends on
the order in which object files with both functions are passed to the

linker. Although it happens to be correct at the moment, the proper pattern
is to make the ARM override a strong definition.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:

- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
  implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
  stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
  but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
  for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
  many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.

While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

<title>Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line option</title>

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.

This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.

Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel.  It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash.  This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...).  However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace.  Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult.  Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system.  Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix).  I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.

By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system.  Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system.  As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable.  Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable.  Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore.  User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile.  When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.

There are five patches in this series:

The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code.  parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.

The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation.  If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.

The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.

The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.

The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
  through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
  PT_LOAD ranges.

Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.

With this series applied, specifying
	crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.

An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system.  The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available.  The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.

The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.


This patch (of 5):

Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel().  When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.

Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.

 - Use RCU instead of RCU-sched

   The mix of rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_lock_sched() and

 - The rest of changes are smaller fixes and updates

<title>ARM: 9442/1: smp: Fix IPI alignment in /proc/interrupts</title>

On a system with less than 1000 interrupts, prec = 3, causing a
misalignment for the IPI interrupts.  E.g. on Koelsch (R-Car M2-W):

    200:          0          0  gpio-rcar   6 Edge      SW36
    IPI0:          0          0  CPU wakeup interrupts
    IPI1:          0          0  Timer broadcast interrupts
    IPI2:       1701       2844  Rescheduling interrupts
    IPI3:      10338      21181  Function call interrupts
    IPI4:          0          0  CPU stop interrupts
    IPI5:        651        825  IRQ work interrupts
    IPI6:          0          0  completion interrupts
    Err:          0

Fix this by adopting the same solution as used on arm64.
