init: Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC-11

2024-01-21T23:45:31+00:00

-Wstringop-overflow is buggy in GCC-11. Therefore, we should disable
this option specifically for that compiler version. To achieve this,
we introduce a new configuration option: GCC11_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW.

The compiler option related to string operation overflow is now managed
under configuration CC_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. This option is enabled by
default for all other versions of GCC that support it.

 "Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1.
  Nothing major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups
  and some tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will
  come back in a safer way next release cycle.

  Included in here are:

   - more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes

   - fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior

   - kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions

   - cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
     systems that add topologies and cpus after booting

   - other minor changes and cleanups

  All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
  maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
  in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

EXPERT menu.

Drop one useless comment.

initramfs: Expose retained initrd as sysfs file

2023-12-15T16:23:00+00:00

When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not
free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for
consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of
this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling.

To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the
firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd"
is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from
user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter
if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally.

With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when
the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line
option is set.

arch: remove ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK

2023-12-11T01:21:31+00:00

IA-64 was the only architecture which selected ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK.
IA-64 was removed with commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64)
architecture"). Therefore remove support for ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK
as well.

Note: this also reveals a potential bug in powerpc code, which makes use of
__init_task_data without selecting ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK which makes
__init_task_data a no-op. This is broken since commit d11ed3ab3166 ("Expand
INIT_TASK() in init/init_task.c and remove") from 2018 and needs to be
addressed separately.

rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given

2023-12-07T01:29:21+00:00

Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states:

  If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by
  default.  To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command
  line.

This currently does not work when root= is provided since then
saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore,
ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided.

The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is:

   root=       | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
   ------------+-------------+--------------------------
   unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs
   unspecified | tmpfs       | tmpfs
   unspecified | ramfs       | ramfs
    provided   | ignored     | ramfs

rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given,
as shown below:

   root=       | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
   ------------+-------------+--------------------------
   unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs  (as before)
   unspecified | tmpfs       | tmpfs  (as before)
   unspecified | ramfs       | ramfs  (as before)
    provided   | unspecified | ramfs  (compatibility with before)
    provided   | tmpfs       | tmpfs  (new)
    provided   | ramfs       | ramfs  (new)

This table represents the new behavior.
