vmlinux.lds.h: Replace RODATA with RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:53:15+00:00

There's no reason to keep the RODATA macro: replace the callers with
the expected RO_DATA macro.

vmlinux.lds.h: Move NOTES into RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:34:41+00:00

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

ia64: remove support for machvecs

2019-08-16T21:32:26+00:00

The only thing remaining of the machvecs is a few checks if we are
running on an SGI UV system.  Replace those with the existing
is_uv_system() check that has been rewritten to simply check the
OEM ID directly.

That leaves us with a generic kernel that is as fast as the previous
DIG/ZX1/UV kernels, but can support all hardware.  Support for UV
and the HP SBA IOMMU is now optional based on new config options.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

2018-02-01T21:36:15+00:00

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union

2018-01-09T23:21:02+00:00

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:

	init_thread_union
	init_stack

INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack.  init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order.  I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference

2018-01-09T09:45:37+00:00

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for IA64.

For pointers that belong to the kernel
-  Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
   .opd section address range;

-  Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
   will dereference only function pointers that are within
   [__start_opd, __end_opd);

For pointers that belong to a module
-  Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
   function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
   pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).
