The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In
preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA,
standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by
all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE.
Note that there was discussion about changing all architectures to use
"notes" instead, but I prefer to avoid that at this time. Changing only
powerpc is the smallest change to standardize the entire kernel. And
while this standardization does use singular "note" for a section that
has more than one note in it, this is just an internal identifier. It
matches the ELF "PT_NOTE", and is 4 characters (like "text", and "data")
for pretty alignment. The more exposed macro, "NOTES", use the more
sensible plural wording.

CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX requires a special alignment
for DATA for some subarches. Today it is just defined
as an #ifdef in vmlinux.lds.S
In order to get more flexibility, this patch moves the
definition of this alignment in Kconfig
On some subarches, CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX will
require a special alignment of _etext.
This patch also adds a configuration item for it in Kconfig

When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning
is emitted:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from
`arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt'
As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local
symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their
output.
Include these symbols in the .data section as the ppc64 kernel does.

Notable changes:
- A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of fairly
complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.
- Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for each
process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27% speedup for our
context switch benchmark on Power9.
- Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print more debug
information when they occur, and try to continue running by flushing the SLB
and reloading, rather than treating them as fatal.
- Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).
- Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on 64-bit
Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system memory, otherwise the
percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.
- Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task canary.
- Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.
- Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are presented
to us as a single SMT8 core.
- A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE flags.
- Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface, allowing
guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).
- Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we need to use
a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().
Many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.

Currently, we expect to be able to reach ftrace_caller() from all
ftrace-enabled functions through a single relative branch. With large
kernel configs, we see functions outside of 32MB of ftrace_caller()
causing ftrace_init() to bail.
In such configurations, gcc/ld emits two types of trampolines for mcount():
1. A long_branch, which has a single branch to mcount() for functions that
are one hop away from mcount():
c0000000019e8544 <00031b56.long_branch._mcount>:
c0000000019e8544: 4a 69 3f ac b c00000000007c4f0 <._mcount>
2. A plt_branch, for functions that are farther away from mcount():
c0000000051f33f8 <0008ba04.plt_branch._mcount>:
c0000000051f33f8: 3d 82 ff a4 addis r12,r2,-92
c0000000051f33fc: e9 8c 04 20 ld r12,1056(r12)
c0000000051f3400: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12
c0000000051f3404: 4e 80 04 20 bctr
We can reuse those trampolines for ftrace if we can have those
trampolines go to ftrace_caller() instead. However, with ABIv2, we
cannot depend on r2 being valid. As such, we use only the long_branch
trampolines by patching those to instead branch to ftrace_caller or
ftrace_regs_caller.
In addition, we add additional trampolines around .text and .init.text
to catch locations that are covered by the plt branches. This allows
ftrace to work with most large kernel configurations.
For now, we always patch the trampolines to go to ftrace_regs_caller,
which is slightly inefficient. This can be optimized further at a later
point.

Based on the RFI patching. This is required to be able to disable the
speculation barrier.
Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the
speculation barrier at boot when the user says it is not wanted.

On some CPUs we can prevent a vulnerability related to store-to-load
forwarding by preventing store forwarding between privilege domains,
by inserting a barrier in kernel entry and exit paths.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9
powerpc CPUs.
Barriers must be inserted generally before the first load after moving
to a higher privilege, and after the last store before moving to a
lower privilege, HV and PR privilege transitions must be protected.
Barriers are added as patch sections, with all kernel/hypervisor entry
points patched, and the exit points to lower privilge levels patched
similarly to the RFI flush patching.
Firmware advertisement is not implemented yet, so CPU flush types
are hard coded.

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 "<log
level>[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.

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.
Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.
There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.
And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.
On some CPUs we can prevent the Meltdown vulnerability by flushing the
L1-D cache on exit from kernel to user mode, and from hypervisor to
guest.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9. At
this time we do not know the status of the vulnerability on other CPUs
such as the 970 (Apple G5), pasemi CPUs (AmigaOne X1000) or Freescale
CPUs. As more information comes to light we can enable this, or other
mechanisms on those CPUs.
The vulnerability occurs when the load of an architecturally
inaccessible memory region (eg. userspace load of kernel memory) is
speculatively executed to the point where its result can influence the
address of a subsequent speculatively executed load.
In order for that to happen, the first load must hit in the L1,
because before the load is sent to the L2 the permission check is
performed. Therefore if no kernel addresses hit in the L1 the
vulnerability can not occur. We can ensure that is the case by
flushing the L1 whenever we return to userspace. Similarly for
hypervisor vs guest.
In order to flush the L1-D cache on exit, we add a section of nops at
each (h)rfi location that returns to a lower privileged context, and
patch that with some sequence. Newer firmwares are able to advertise
to us that there is a special nop instruction that flushes the L1-D.
If we do not see that advertised, we fall back to doing a displacement
flush in software.
For guest kernels we support migration between some CPU versions, and
different CPUs may use different flush instructions. So that we are
prepared to migrate to a machine with a different flush instruction
activated, we may have to patch more than one flush instruction at
boot if the hypervisor tells us to.
In the end this patch is mostly the work of Nicholas Piggin and
Michael Ellerman. However a cast of thousands contributed to analysis
of the issue, earlier versions of the patch, back ports testing etc.
Many thanks to all of them.

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for powerpc64.
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).

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

For CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX align __init_begin to 16M. We use 16M
since its the larger of 2M on radix and 16M on hash for our linear
mapping. The plan is to have .text, .rodata and everything upto
__init_begin marked as RX. Note we still have executable read only
data. We could further align rodata to another 16M boundary. I've used
keeping text plus rodata as read-only-executable as a trade-off to
doing read-only-executable for text and read-only for rodata.
We don't use multi PT_LOAD in PHDRS because we are not sure if all
bootloaders support them. This patch keeps PHDRS in vmlinux.lds.S as
the same they are with just one PT_LOAD for all of the kernel marked
as RWX (7).
mpe: What this means is the added alignment bloats the resulting
binary on disk, a powernv kernel goes from 17M to 22M.

Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can

such as 7de3b27bac at build-time.
Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold:
- .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections.
- .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32
- We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG
- DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted
- A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0
(or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S
kernels).
Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text
section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text
section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section
and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions.
This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large
kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option,
defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time
check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and
custom users / hackers.

will be set by fixed section macros. Without this, output section
alignment defaults to 4096, which makes BookE text section start at

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit
Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S
for 0x0..0x100).
This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding
unimportant details behind macros.
Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the
assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking
absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can
be hidden behind macros for the most part.
Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments.
The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number,
which gets loaded as a constant into a register.
Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to
using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges
of that.
__after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another
fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older
ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an
additional line to define.

In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we
need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific.
This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we
don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections.
If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y,
we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the
_stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg:
c000000000000000 T _stext
c0000000009e0000 A _etext
c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping
c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext
c000000000d00844 T _einittext
This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and
prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes
etc.).
Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does.
This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the
standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need
to enforce this alignment in our linker script, otherwise pointers

Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.
Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:
# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start
This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:
problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event
This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.
