ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-06-01T15:54:24+00:00

commit a494d3c8d5392bcdff83c2a593df0c160ff9f322 upstream.

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

asm-generic: introduce text-patching.h

2024-11-07T22:25:15+00:00

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

char/agp: introduce asm-generic/agp.h

2023-02-13T21:13:29+00:00

There are several architectures that duplicate definitions of
map_page_into_agp(), unmap_page_from_agp() and flush_agp_cache().

Define those in asm-generic/agp.h and use it instead of duplicated
per-architecture headers.

sparc: syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh

2021-05-01T15:43:34+00:00

Many architectures duplicate similar shell scripts.

This commit converts sparc to use scripts/syscalltbl.sh. This also
unifies syscall_table_64.h and syscall_table_c32.h.

local64.h: make mandatory

2020-12-29T23:36:49+00:00

Make  mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include .

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename  to
 and change all #includes to use
 instead.

asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory

2020-04-02T16:35:25+00:00

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.

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

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

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $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 &&
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $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 >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild

----------------------------------->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.

asm-generic: Make msi.h a mandatory include/asm header

2019-11-26T19:14:11+00:00

msi.h is generic for all architectures except x86, which has its own
version.  Enabling MSI by adding msi.h to every architecture's Kbuild is
just an additional step which doesn't need to be done.

Make msi.h mandatory in the asm-generic/Kbuild so we don't have to do it
for each architecture.
