Remove the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT symbol from the ifdef around
do_softirq_own_stack() and move it to Kconfig instead.

Enable softirq stacks based on SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK which depends on
HAVE_SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK and its default value is set to !PREEMPT_RT.
This ensures that softirq stacks are not used on PREEMPT_RT and avoids
a 'select' statement on an option which has a 'depends' statement.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Highlights include a major rework of our kPTI page-table rewriting
  code (which makes it both more maintainable and considerably faster in
  the cases where it is required) as well as significant changes to our
  early boot code to reduce the need for data cache maintenance and
  greatly simplify the KASLR relocation dance.

  Summary:

   - Remove unused generic cpuidle support (replaced by PSCI version)

   - Fix documentation describing the kernel virtual address space

   - Handling of some new CPU errata in Arm implementations

   - Rework of our exception table code in preparation for handling
     machine checks (i.e. RAS errors) more gracefully

   - Switch over to the generic implementation of ioremap()

   - Fix lockdep tracking in NMI context

   - Instrument our memory barrier macros for KCSAN

   - Rework of the kPTI G-&gt;nG page-table repainting so that the MMU
     remains enabled and the boot time is no longer slowed to a crawl
     for systems which require the late remapping

   - Enable support for direct swapping of 2MiB transparent huge-pages
     on systems without MTE

   - Fix handling of MTE tags with allocating new pages with HW KASAN

   - Expose the SMIDR register to userspace via sysfs

   - Continued rework of the stack unwinder, particularly improving the
     behaviour under KASAN

   - More repainting of our system register definitions to match the
     architectural terminology

   - Improvements to the layout of the vDSO objects

   - Support for allocating additional bits of HWCAP2 and exposing
     FEAT_EBF16 to userspace on CPUs that support it

   - Considerable rework and optimisation of our early boot code to
     reduce the need for cache maintenance and avoid jumping in and out
     of the kernel when handling relocation under KASLR

   - Support for disabling SVE and SME support on the kernel
     command-line

   - Support for the Hisilicon HNS3 PMU

<title>mmu_gather: Remove per arch tlb_{start,end}_vma()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=1e9fdf21a4339b102539f476a9842e7526c01939'/>
<id>1e9fdf21a4339b102539f476a9842e7526c01939</id>
<content type='text'>
Scattered across the archs are 3 basic forms of tlb_{start,end}_vma().
Provide two new MMU_GATHER_knobs to enumerate them and remove the per
arch tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementations.

 - MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE indicates the arch has flush_cache_range()
   but does *NOT* want to call it for each VMA.

 - MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS indicates the arch wants to merge the
   invalidate across multiple VMAs if possible.

With these it is possible to capture the three forms:

  1) empty stubs;
     select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE and MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  2) start: flush_cache_range(), end: empty;
     select MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  3) start: flush_cache_range(), end: flush_tlb_range();
     default

Obviously, if the architecture does not have flush_cache_range() then
it also doesn't need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE.

Scattered across the archs are 3 basic forms of tlb_{start,end}_vma().
Provide two new MMU_GATHER_knobs to enumerate them and remove the per
arch tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementations.

 - MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE indicates the arch has flush_cache_range()
   but does *NOT* want to call it for each VMA.

 - MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS indicates the arch wants to merge the
   invalidate across multiple VMAs if possible.

With these it is possible to capture the three forms:

  1) empty stubs;
     select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE and MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  2) start: flush_cache_range(), end: empty;
     select MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

  3) start: flush_cache_range(), end: flush_tlb_range();
     default

Obviously, if the architecture does not have flush_cache_range() then
it also doesn't need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_FLUSH_CACHE.

The RCU dynticks counter is going to be merged into the context tracking
subsystem. Prepare with moving the NMI extended quiescent states
entrypoints to context tracking. For now those are dumb redirection to
existing RCU calls.

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions
but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a
separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.

<title>arch: make TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT generic</title>
<updated>2022-06-23T14:39:21+00:00</updated>

<id>4510bffb4d0246cdcc1f14c7367c026b807a862d</id>
<content type='text'>
On most architectures, IRQ flag tracing is disabled in NMI context, and
architectures need to define and select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT in
order to enable this.

Commit:

  859d069ee1ddd878 ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking")

Permitted IRQ flag tracing in NMI context, allowing lockdep to work in
NMI context where an architecture had suitable entry logic. At the time,
most architectures did not have such suitable entry logic, and this broke
lockdep on such architectures. Thus, this was partially disabled in
commit:

  ed00495333ccc80f ("locking/lockdep: Fix TRACE_IRQFLAGS vs. NMIs")

... with architectures needing to select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT to
enable IRQ flag tracing in NMI context.

Currently TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is defined under
arch/x86/Kconfig.debug. Move it to arch/Kconfig so architectures can
select it without having to provide their own definition.

Since the regular TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is selected by
arch/x86/Kconfig, the select of TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is moved
there too.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
