<title>arch: split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions out to &lt;asm/vermagic.h&gt;</title>

<id>62d0fd591db1f9dcf68fb963b3a94af085a6b166</id>
<content type='text'>
As the bug report [1] pointed out, &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt; must be included
after &lt;linux/module.h&gt;.

I believe we should not impose any include order restriction. We often
sort include directives alphabetically, but it is just coding style
convention. Technically, we can include header files in any order by
making every header self-contained.

Currently, arch-specific MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC is defined in
&lt;asm/module.h&gt;, which is not included from &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt;.

Hence, the straight-forward fix-up would be as follows:

|--- a/include/linux/vermagic.h
|+++ b/include/linux/vermagic.h
|@@ -1,5 +1,6 @@
| /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
| #include &lt;generated/utsrelease.h&gt;
|+#include &lt;linux/module.h&gt;
|
| /* Simply sanity version stamp for modules. */
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP

This works enough, but for further cleanups, I split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC
definitions into &lt;asm/vermagic.h&gt;.

With this, &lt;linux/module.h&gt; and &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt; will be orthogonal,
and the location of MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions will be consistent.

For arc and ia64, MODULE_PROC_FAMILY is only used for defining
MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC. I squashed it.

For hexagon, nds32, and xtensa, I removed &lt;asm/modules.h&gt; entirely
because they contained nothing but MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definition.
Kbuild will automatically generate &lt;asm/modules.h&gt; at build-time,
wrapping &lt;asm-generic/module.h&gt;.

Pull more Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - raise minimum supported binutils version to 2.23

 - remove old CONFIG_AS_* macros that we know binutils &gt;= 2.23 supports

 - move remaining CONFIG_AS_* tests to Kconfig from Makefile

 - enable -Wtautological-compare warnings to catch more issues

 - do not support GCC plugins for GCC &lt;= 4.7

 - fix various breakages of 'make xconfig'

 - include the linker version used for linking the kernel into
   LINUX_COMPILER, which is used for the banner, and also exposed to
   /proc/version

 - link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y, which
   allows us to remove the lib-ksyms.o workaround, and to solve the last
   known issue of the LLVM linker

 - add dummy tools in scripts/dummy-tools/ to enable all compiler tests
   in Kconfig, which will be useful for distro maintainers

 - support the single switch, LLVM=1 to use Clang and all LLVM utilities
   instead of GCC and Binutils.

 - support LLVM_IAS=1 to enable the integrated assembler, which is still
   experimental

<title>mm/vma: define a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.

__builtin_constant_p(nr) is used everywhere now. It does not make
much sense to define IS_IMMEDIATE() as its alias.

<title>asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory</title>

<content type='text'>
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
    (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild &gt; $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
	xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
	mandatory=yes

	for arch in $arches
	do
		if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &amp;&amp;
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" &gt;&gt; $tmpfile

		for arch in $arches
		do
			sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
		done
	fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile &gt;&gt; include/asm-generic/Kbuild

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

Move access_ok() in and pagefault_enable()/pagefault_disable() out.
Mechanical conversion only - some instances don't really need
a separate access_ok() at all (e.g. the ones only using
get_user()/put_user(), or architectures where access_ok()
is always true); we'll deal with that in followups.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub

   - Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub

   - Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code

   - Increase robustness for mixed mode code

   - Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
     stub

   - Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
     where possible

   - Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
     only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.

   - plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.

  ... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
  cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
  effects intended"

ioremap has provided non-cached semantics by default since the Linux 2.6
days, so remove the additional ioremap_nocache interface.

In the x86 MM code we'd like to untangle various types of historic
header dependency spaghetti, but for this we'd need to pass to
the generic vmalloc code various vmalloc related defines that
customarily come via the &lt;asm/page.h&gt; low level arch header.
