treewide: update LLVM Bugzilla links

2024-02-22T23:38:51Z

LLVM moved their issue tracker from their own Bugzilla instance to GitHub issues. While all of the links are still valid, they may not necessarily show the most up to date information around the issues, as all updates will occur on GitHub, not Bugzilla. Another complication is that the Bugzilla issue number is not always the same as the GitHub issue number. Thankfully, LLVM maintains this mapping through two shortlinks: https://llvm.org/bz -> https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id= https://llvm.org/pr -> https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ Switch all "https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=" links to the "https://llvm.org/pr" shortlink so that the links show the most up to date information. Each migrated issue links back to the Bugzilla entry, so there should be no loss of fidelity of information here.

kunit: add KUNIT_INIT_TABLE to init linker section

2023-12-18T20:21:15Z

Add KUNIT_INIT_TABLE to the INIT_DATA linker section. Alter the KUnit macros to create init tests: kunit_test_init_section_suites Update lib/kunit/executor.c to run both the suites in KUNIT_TABLE and KUNIT_INIT_TABLE. Reviewed-by: David Gow Signed-off-by: Rae Moar Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

kunit: move KUNIT_TABLE out of INIT_DATA

2023-12-18T20:21:15Z

Alter the linker section of KUNIT_TABLE to move it out of INIT_DATA and into DATA_DATA. Data for KUnit tests does not need to be in the init section. In order to run tests again after boot the KUnit data cannot be labeled as init data as the kernel could write over it. Add a KUNIT_INIT_TABLE in the next patch for KUnit tests that test init data/functions. Reviewed-by: David Gow Signed-off-by: Rae Moar Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

vmlinux.lds.h: Remove a reference to no longer used sections .text..refcount

2023-07-11T21:29:43Z

Sections .text..refcount were previously used to hold an error path code for fast refcount overflow protection on x86, see commit 7a46ec0e2f48 ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection") and commit 564c9cc84e2a ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Use unique .text section for refcount exceptions"). The code was replaced and removed in commit fb041bb7c0a9 ("locking/refcount: Consolidate implementations of refcount_t") and no sections .text..refcount are present since then. Remove then a relic referencing these sections from TEXT_TEXT to avoid confusing people, like me. This is a non-functional change.

Merge patch series "riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION"

2023-07-01T14:38:19Z

Jisheng Zhang says: When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the --gc-sections flag to the linker. This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs. Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs: nommu_k210_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 1112009 410288 59837 1582134 182436 before 962838 376656 51285 1390779 1538bb after rv32_defconfig: text data bss dec hex 8804455 2816544 290577 11911576 b5c198 before 8692295 2779872 288977 11761144 b375f8 after defconfig: text data bss dec hex 9438267 3391332 485333 13314932 cb2b74 before 9285914 3350052 483349 13119315 c82f53 after patch1 and patch2 are clean ups. patch3 fixes a typo. patch4 finally enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for riscv. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: disable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for LLD riscv: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION vmlinux.lds.h: use correct .init.data.* section name riscv: vmlinux-xip.lds.S: remove .alternative section riscv: move options to keep entries sorted riscv: Fix orphan section warnings caused by kernel/pi Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230523165502.2592-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt
