psi: clarify the Kconfig text for the default-disable option

2019-02-01T23:46:24+00:00

The current help text caused some confusion in online forums about
whether or not to default-enable or default-disable psi in vendor
kernels.  This is because it doesn't communicate the reason for why we
made this setting configurable in the first place: that the overhead is
non-zero in an artificial scheduler stress test.

Since this isn't representative of real workloads, and the effect was
not measurable in scheduler-heavy real world applications such as the
webservers and memcache installations at Facebook, it's fair to point
out that this is a pretty cautious option to select.

kbuild: Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION with ftrace & GCC <= 4.7

2019-01-14T01:37:09+00:00

When building using GCC 4.7 or older, -ffunction-sections & the -pg flag
used by ftrace are incompatible. This causes warnings or build failures
(where -Werror applies) such as the following:

  arch/mips/generic/init.c:
    error: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible

This used to be taken into account by the ordering of calls to cc-option
from within the top-level Makefile, which was introduced by commit
90ad4052e85c ("kbuild: avoid conflict between -ffunction-sections and
-pg on gcc-4.7"). Unfortunately this was broken when the
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION cc-option check was moved to
Kconfig in commit e85d1d65cd8a ("kbuild: test dead code/data elimination
support in Kconfig"), because the flags used by this check no longer
include -pg.

Fix this by not allowing CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be
enabled at the same time as ftrace/CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER when building
using GCC 4.7 or older.

jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

initramfs: cleanup incomplete rootfs

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g.  not enough memory.  This
leads to an incomplete rootfs because some files might be extracted
already.  Fixed by cleaning the rootfs so the kernel is not using an
incomplete rootfs.

fork: fix some -Wmissing-prototypes warnings

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

We get a warning when building kernel with W=1:

  kernel/fork.c:167:13: warning: no previous prototype for `arch_release_thread_stack' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
  kernel/fork.c:779:13: warning: no previous prototype for `fork_init' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

Add the missing declaration in head file to fix this.

Also, remove arch_release_thread_stack() completely because no arch
seems to implement it since bb9d81264 (arch: remove tile port).

Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
 "The biggest highlight here is the start of using json-schema for DT
  bindings. Being able to validate bindings has been discussed for years
  with little progress.

   - Initial support for DT bindings using json-schema language. This is
     the start of converting DT bindings from free-form text to a
     structured format.

   - Reworking of initrd address initialization. This moves to using the
     phys address instead of virt addr in the DT parsing code. This
     rework was motivated by CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD causing unnecessary
     rebuilding of lots of files.

   - Fix stale phandle entries in phandle cache

   - DT overlay validation improvements. This exposed several memory
     leak bugs which have been fixed.

   - Use node name and device_type helper functions in DT code

   - Last remaining conversions to using %pOFn printk specifier instead
     of device_node.name directly

   - Create new common RTC binding doc and move all trivial RTC devices
     out of trivial-devices.txt.

   - New bindings for Freescale MAG3110 magnetometer, Cadence Sierra
     PHY, and Xen shared memory

   - Update dtc to upstream version v1.4.7-57-gf267e674d145"
