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.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.

     This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
     the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
     on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
     energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
     oversubscribed.

     For details of the design, see:

Pull RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:

- Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.

- Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions
  to their vanilla RCU counterparts.  This series is a step
  towards complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side
  functions.

  ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
    respective maintainers. )

- Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
  updates from Joel Fernandes.

- Miscellaneous fixes.

- Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for
  rcutorture testing.

- Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.

  ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
    respective maintainers. )

- SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein
  for a bag-on-head-class bug.

sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology

2018-11-28T10:57:06+00:00

Currently the 'sched_smt_present' static key is enabled when at CPU bringup
SMT topology is observed, but it is never disabled. However there is demand
to also disable the key when the topology changes such that there is no SMT
present anymore.

Implement this by making the key count the number of cores that have SMT
enabled.

In particular, the SMT topology bits are set before interrrupts are enabled
and similarly, are cleared after interrupts are disabled for the last time
and the CPU dies.

sched/core: Create task_has_idle_policy() helper

2018-11-12T05:17:52+00:00

We already have task_has_rt_policy() and task_has_dl_policy() helpers,
create task_has_idle_policy() as well and update sched core to start
using it.

While at it, use task_has_dl_policy() at one more place.
