KVM: export and iif KVM is supported

2019-03-28T16:27:42+00:00

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of 
and .

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2]  is exported, but  is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither  nor  is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported  to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both  and  for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of  and 
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures,  was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither  nor  is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,
    nds32, nios2, openrisc, parisc, riscv, sh, sparc, unicore32, xtensa

kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y

2019-03-17T03:56:32+00:00

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.

um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

y2038: fix socket.h header inclusion

2019-03-11T18:06:00+00:00

Referencing the __kernel_long_t type caused some user space applications
to stop compiling when they had not already included linux/posix_types.h,
e.g.

s/multicast.c -o ext/sockets/multicast.lo
In file included from /builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/main/php.h:468,
                 from /builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c:27:
/builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c: In function 'zm_startup_sockets':
/builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c:776:40: error: '__kernel_long_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
  776 |  REGISTER_LONG_CONSTANT("SO_SNDTIMEO", SO_SNDTIMEO, CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);

It is safe to include that header here, since it only contains kernel
internal types that do not conflict with other user space types.

It's still possible that some related build failures remain, but those
are likely to be for code that is not already y2038 safe.

mm: replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE

2019-03-06T05:07:14+00:00

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.

All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code.  Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances.  This might also have replaced some
false positives.  I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.

1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"

This patch (of 2):

At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1.  Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there.  Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE.  This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

a.out: remove core dumping support

2019-03-05T18:00:35+00:00

We're (finally) phasing out a.out support for good.  As Borislav Petkov
points out, we've supported ELF binaries for about 25 years by now, and
coredumping in particular has bitrotted over the years.

None of the tool chains even support generating a.out binaries any more,
and the plan is to deprecate a.out support entirely for the kernel.  But
I want to start with just removing the core dumping code, because I can
still imagine that somebody actually might want to support a.out as a
simpler biinary format.

Particularly if you generate some random binaries on the fly, ELF is a
much more complicated format (admittedly ELF also does have a lot of
toolchain support, mitigating that complexity a lot and you really
should have moved over in the last 25 years).

So it's at least somewhat possible that somebody out there has some
workflow that still involves generating and running a.out executables.

In contrast, it's very unlikely that anybody depends on debugging any
legacy a.out core files.  But regardless, I want this phase-out to be
done in two steps, so that we can resurrect a.out support (if needed)
without having to resurrect the core file dumping that is almost
certainly not needed.

Jann Horn pointed to the  file that my first trivial
cut at this had missed.

And Alan Cox points out that the a.out binary loader _could_ be done in
user space if somebody wants to, but we might keep just the loader in
the kernel if somebody really wants it, since the loader isn't that big
and has no really odd special cases like the core dumping does.
