Commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")
make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS.
When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y,
make menuconfig screams like this:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN
Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [=y]
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would select PROC_CHILDREN which depends on PROC_FS,
so add depends on PROC_FS to CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to fix this.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Huawei reported that when they updated their kernel from 4.4 to
something much newer, some userspace code they had broke, the culprit
being the accidental removal of O_NONBLOCK from /dev/random way back
in 5.6. It's been gone for over 2 years now and this is the first
we've heard of it, but userspace breakage is userspace breakage, so
O_NONBLOCK is now back.
- Use randomness from hardware RNGs much more often during early boot,
at the same interval that crng reseeds are done, from Dominik.
- A semantic change in hardware RNG throttling, so that the hwrng
framework can properly feed random.c with randomness from hardware
RNGs that aren't specifically marked as creditable.
A related patch coming to you via Herbert's hwrng tree depends on
this one, not to compile, but just to function properly, so you may
want to merge this PULL before that one.
- A fix to clamp credited bits from the interrupts pool to the size of
the pool sample. This is mainly just a theoretical fix, as it'd be
pretty hard to exceed it in practice.
- Oracle reported that InfiniBand TCP latency regressed by around
10-15% after a change a few cycles ago made at the request of the RT
folks, in which we hoisted a somewhat rare operation (1 in 1024
times) out of the hard IRQ handler and into a workqueue, a pretty
common and boring pattern.
It turns out, though, that scheduling a worker from there has
overhead of its own, whereas scheduling a timer on that same CPU for
the next jiffy amortizes better and doesn't incur the same overhead.
I also eliminated a cache miss by moving the work_struct (and
subsequently, the timer_list) to below a critical cache line, so that
the more critical members that are accessed on every hard IRQ aren't
split between two cache lines.
- The boot-time initialization of the RNG has been split into two
approximate phases: what we can accomplish before timekeeping is
possible and what we can accomplish after.
This winds up being useful so that we can use RDRAND to seed the RNG
before CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y systems initialize slabs, in
addition to other early uses of randomness. The effect is that
systems with RDRAND (or a bootloader seed) will never see any
warnings at all when setting CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM=y. And
kfence benefits from getting a better seed of its own.
- Small systems without much entropy sometimes wind up putting some
truncated serial number read from flash into hostname, so contribute
utsname changes to the RNG, without crediting.
- Add smaller batches to serve requests for smaller integers, and make
use of them when people ask for random numbers bounded by a given
compile-time constant. This has positive effects all over the tree,
most notably in networking and kfence.
- The original jitter algorithm intended (I believe) to schedule the
timer for the next jiffy, not the next-next jiffy, yet it used
mod_timer(jiffies + 1), which will fire on the next-next jiffy,
instead of what I believe was intended, mod_timer(jiffies), which
will fire on the next jiffy. So fix that.
- Fix a comment typo, from William.

kmsan_init_shadow() scans the mappings created at boot time and creates
metadata pages for those mappings.
When the memblock allocator returns pages to pagealloc, we reserve 2/3 of
those pages and use them as metadata for the remaining 1/3. Once KMSAN
starts, every page allocated by pagealloc has its associated shadow and
origin pages.
kmsan_initialize() initializes the bookkeeping for init_task and enables
KMSAN.

The full RNG initialization relies on some timestamps, made possible
with initialization functions like time_init() and timekeeping_init().
However, these are only available rather late in initialization.
Meanwhile, other things, such as memory allocator functions, make use of
the RNG much earlier.
So split RNG initialization into two phases. We can provide arch
randomness very early on, and then later, after timekeeping and such are
available, initialize the rest.
This ensures that, for example, slabs are properly randomized if RDRAND
is available. Without this, CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y loses a degree
of its security, because its random seed is potentially deterministic,
since it hasn't yet incorporated RDRAND. It also makes it possible to
use a better seed in kfence, which currently relies on only the cycle
counter.
Another positive consequence is that on systems with RDRAND, running
with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM=y results in no warnings at all.
One subtle side effect of this change is that on systems with no RDRAND,
RDTSC is now only queried by random_init() once, committing the moment
of the function call, instead of multiple times as before. This is
intentional, as the multiple RDTSCs in a loop before weren't
accomplishing very much, with jitter being better provided by
try_to_generate_entropy(). Plus, filling blocks with RDTSC is still
being done in extract_entropy(), which is necessarily called before
random bytes are served anyway.

Now that UTS_VERSION was separated out, this header can be generated

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.
When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.
However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.
To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:
[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h
include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.
[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c
init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
Davidlor said
: Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for

: much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very

: with the foundation of replacing the locked rbtree with RCU aware trees.
A similar work has been discovered in the academic press
https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/rcuvm:asplos12.pdf
Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially

allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.

In commit 2f1ee0913c ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in

avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.
This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.

Distro kernels tend to be moving to VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, and there
is not much reason why PPC64 should be special here. Remove the special
case and make the ppc64 and pseries defconfigs use GEN accounting
(others will use TICK, as-per Kconfig defaults).
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does provide scaled vtime and stolen time
apportioned between system and user time, and vtime accounting is not
unconditionally enabled, and possibly other things. But it would be
better at this point to extend GEN to cover important missing features
rather than directing users back to a less used option.

"A bumper crop of arm64 fixes for -rc3.
The largest change is fixing our parsing of the 'rodata=full' command
line option, which kstrtobool() started treating as 'rodata=false'.
The fix actually makes the parsing of that option much less fragile
and updates the documentation at the same time.
We still have a boot issue pending when KASLR is disabled at compile
time, but there's a fresh fix on the list which I'll send next week if
it holds up to testing.

On arm64, "rodata=full" has been suppored (but not documented) since
commit:
c55191e96c ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well")
As it's necessary to determine the rodata configuration early during
boot, arm64 has an early_param() handler for this, whereas init/main.c
has a __setup() handler which is run later.
Unfortunately, this split meant that since commit:
f9a40b0890 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")
... passing "rodata=full" would result in a spurious warning from the
__setup() handler (though RO permissions would be configured
appropriately).
Further, "rodata=full" has been broken since commit:
0d6ea3ac94 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")
... which caused strtobool() to parse "full" as false (in addition to
many other values not documented for the "rodata=" kernel parameter.
This patch fixes this breakage by:
* Moving the core parameter parser to an __early_param(), such that it
is available early.
* Adding an (optional) arch hook which arm64 can use to parse "full".
* Updating the documentation to mention that "full" is valid for arm64.
* Having the core parameter parser handle "on" and "off" explicitly,
such that any undocumented values (e.g. typos such as "ful") are
reported as errors rather than being silently accepted.
Note that __setup() and early_param() have opposite conventions for
their return values, where __setup() uses 1 to indicate a parameter was
handled and early_param() uses 0 to indicate a parameter was handled.
Fixes: f9a40b0890 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")
Fixes: 0d6ea3ac94 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes
effort. This is becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code
split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect
to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future.
The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and
Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted
a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this
misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should
be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually
hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up
spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect
misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are
dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info
regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored)
this really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page()
and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the
virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module
decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has
been there for 3 weeks.

be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS

boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering
with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms.
poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably
making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace
periods.
rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing
the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction
is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.
torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates.
ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into
context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to
kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution
for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is
expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down
to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully
unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width.
This patch is effectively a revert of
commit 15f5db60a1 ("kbuild,arc: add
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding
ARCH_CFLAGS
Ever since
commit cfdbc2e16e ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker
script")
ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not
specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not
re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile.
Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that
matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make:
$ make KCFLAGS=-O3
Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should
provide:
1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable
userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that
would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`.
2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after.
3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.

3942a9bd7b ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine.
However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current
machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace
process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies
on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before
gethostname can produce a meaningful name.
Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init
system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file
(say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call
to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname
usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may,
however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before
the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will
get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as
"(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar").
A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable
results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes
between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that
properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that
is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly
belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or
foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the
current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted,
perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array,
then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet
have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of
the local arrays are foreign.
Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be
left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within
an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called
before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname.
However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call
gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it
could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init
system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in
some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot.
Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted
to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This
makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users.
I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the
hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init
system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via
a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem.
It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

Since the Linux RNG no longer uses sha1_transform(), the SHA-1 library
is no longer needed unconditionally. Make it possible to build the
Linux kernel without the SHA-1 library by putting it behind a kconfig
option, and selecting this new option from the kconfig options that gate
the remaining users: CRYPTO_SHA1 for crypto/sha1_generic.c, BPF for
kernel/bpf/core.c, and IPV6 for net/ipv6/addrconf.c.
Unfortunately, since BPF is selected by NET, for now this can only make
a difference for kernels built without networking support.

In init/Kconfig, the part dedicated to modules is quite large.
Move it into a dedicated Kconfig in kernel/module/
MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP was outside of the 'if MODULES', but as it is
only used when MODULES are set, move it in with everything else to
avoid confusion.
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is left in init/Kconfig because this configuration
item is not used in kernel/modules/ but in kernel/ and can be
selected independently from CONFIG_MODULES. It is for instance
selected from security/integrity/ima/Kconfig.

In commit 8b202ee218 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people
disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic
in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro,
which accesses absolute pointers.
It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes
that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config
entry instead.
Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and
use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations
that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example:
select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues.
Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more
targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again
the s390 case as an example:
KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds)
but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since
the current issues are spread fairly widely all over:
KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds
We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough
that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this
warning.

"The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.
Notable changes:
- Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.
- Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to
having it embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards
without initram disks.
- Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.
- Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use
more than 59 bits.
- Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)
- Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:

options to the MM section") and 519bcb7979 ("mm: Kconfig: group swap,
slab, hotplug and thp options into submenus") we now have nicely organized
mm related config options. I have noticed some that were still misplaced,
so this moves them from various places into the new structure:
VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, COMPAT_BRK, MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED to mm/Kconfig and
general MM section.
SLUB_STATS to mm/Kconfig and the slab submenu.
DEBUG_SLAB, SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB_DEBUG_ON to mm/Kconfig.debug and the Kernel
hacking / Memory Debugging submenu.

As promised, for v5.19 I queued up quite a bit of work for modules, but
still with a pretty conservative eye. These changes have been soaking on
modules-next (and so linux-next) for quite some time, the code shift was
merged onto modules-next on March 22, and the last patch was queued on May
5th.
The following are the highlights of what bells and whistles we will get for
v5.19:
1) It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any
functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split
is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while
bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping
make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review
for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now
pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
$ size kernel/module.o
text data bss dec hex filename
38434 4540 104 43078 a846 kernel/module.o
$ size -t kernel/module/*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
4785 120 0 4905 1329 kernel/module/kallsyms.o
28577 4416 104 33097 8149 kernel/module/main.o
1158 8 0 1166 48e kernel/module/procfs.o
902 108 0 1010 3f2 kernel/module/strict_rwx.o
3390 0 0 3390 d3e kernel/module/sysfs.o
832 0 0 832 340 kernel/module/tree_lookup.o
39644 4652 104 44400 ad70 (TOTALS)
2) Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
so to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
3) Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect
against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by
different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By
default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in
a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as
NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some
security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting
module data with text let's future generic special allocators
be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok
the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's
permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over
time.
