ARM: 9443/1: Require linker to support KEEP within OVERLAY for DCE

2025-04-10T12:42:07Z

commit e7607f7d6d81af71dcc5171278aadccc94d277cd upstream. ld.lld prior to 21.0.0 does not support using the KEEP keyword within an overlay description, which may be needed to avoid discarding necessary sections within an overlay with '--gc-sections', which can be enabled for the kernel via CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. Disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION without support for KEEP within OVERLAY and introduce a macro, OVERLAY_KEEP, that can be used to conditionally add KEEP when it is properly supported to avoid breaking old versions of ld.lld.

rust: Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO

2025-03-22T19:56:53Z

commit 5daa0c35a1f0e7a6c3b8ba9cb721e7d1ace6e619 upstream. The kernel cannot currently self-parse BTF containing Rust debug information. pahole uses the language of the CU to determine whether to filter out debug information when generating the BTF. When LTO is enabled, Rust code can cross CU boundaries, resulting in Rust debug information in CUs labeled as C. This results in a system which cannot parse its own BTF.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Addition of faultable tracepoints There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them. Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults. - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy() - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr() - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter) - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer is also running. When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address. - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function filter. echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter Would cause a kernel NULL dereference. - Minor clean ups * tag 'trace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (31 commits) ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter tracing: Fix function name for trampoline ftrace: Get the true parent ip for function tracer tracing: Remove redundant check on field->field in histograms bpf: ensure RCU Tasks Trace GP for sleepable raw tracepoint BPF links bpf: decouple BPF link/attach hook and BPF program sleepable semantics bpf: put bpf_link's program when link is safe to be deallocated tracing: Replace strncpy() with strscpy() when copying comm tracing: Add might_fault() check in __DECLARE_TRACE_SYSCALL tracing: Fix syscall tracepoint use-after-free tracing: Introduce tracepoint_is_faultable() tracing: Introduce tracepoint extended structure tracing: Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT tracing: Replace multiple deprecated strncpy with memcpy tracing: Make percpu stack trace buffer invariant to PAGE_SIZE tracing: Use atomic64_inc_return() in trace_clock_counter() trace/trace_event_perf: remove duplicate samples on the first tracepoint event tracing/bpf: Add might_fault check to syscall probes tracing/perf: Add might_fault check to syscall probes tracing/ftrace: Add might_fault check to syscall probes ...

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers: - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored. This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules. Cure this by: - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid container_of() now. - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list. - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered. - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery code to rearm the timer. This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios finally succeed. - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes are actively observed via getattr(). These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top. - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines. - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings. - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix up stale documentation links all over the place - Fixup a few usage sites - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user space daemons through adjtimex(2). The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself. As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks. The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2) infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc. Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables. This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step. - Consolidate hrtimer initialization hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons. That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight forward than it should be. Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over. The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window. - Drivers: - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems. Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other clusters. - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement" * tag 'timers-core-2024-11-18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (140 commits) posix-timers: Fix spurious warning on double enqueue versus do_exit() clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Use of_property_present() for non-boolean properties clocksource/drivers/gpx: Remove redundant casts clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Fix child node refcount handling dt-bindings: timer: actions,owl-timer: convert to YAML clocksource/drivers/ralink: Add Ralink System Tick Counter driver clocksource/drivers/mips-gic-timer: Always use cluster 0 counter as clocksource clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Don't fail probe if int not found clocksource/drivers:sp804: Make user selectable clocksource/drivers/dw_apb: Remove unused dw_apb_clockevent functions hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_on_stack() alarmtimer: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() and hrtimer_setup_on_stack() io_uring: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() sched/idle: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack() wait: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() timers: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() net: pktgen: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() futex: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() fs/aio: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() ...

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did not define its own lock() file operation However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when exported over NFS Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock managers alike - Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of making it a negative dentry Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit 4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally through a sysctl - Expand the statmount() system call: * Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes * Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field * Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an option array that returns filesystem specific mount options separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split them * Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate security option array. We don't lump them together with filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are generic and most users aren't interested in them The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount option array - Support relative paths in fsconfig()'s FSCONFIG_SET_STRING command - Optimize acl_permission_check() to avoid costly {g,u}id ownership checks if possible - Use smp_mb__after_spinlock() to avoid full smp_mb() in evict() - Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback. Currently, epoll only uses wake_up() to wake up task. But sometimes there are epoll users which want to use the synchronous wakeup flag to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver. So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use wake_up_sync() when sync is true in ep_poll_callback() Fixes: - Fix kernel documentation for inode_insert5() and iget5_locked() - Annotate racy epoll check on file->f_ep - Make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative - Avoid filename buffer overrun in initramfs - Don't let statmount() return empty strings - Add a cond_resched() to dump_user_range() to avoid hogging the CPU - Don't query the device logical blocksize multiple times for hfsplus - Make filemap_read() check that the offset is positive or zero Cleanups: - Various typo fixes - Cleanup wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() - Add __releases annotation to wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode() - Add hugetlbfs tracepoints - Fix various vfs kernel doc parameters - Remove obsolete TODO comment from io_cancel() - Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio - Fix comments for BANDWITH_INTERVAL and wb_domain_writeout_add() - Reorder struct posix_acl to save 8 bytes - Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by() - Replace one-element array with flexible array member in freevxfs - Use idiomatic atomic64_inc_return() in alloc_mnt_ns()" * tag 'vfs-6.13.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (35 commits) statmount: retrieve security mount options vfs: make evict() use smp_mb__after_spinlock instead of smp_mb statmount: add flag to retrieve unescaped options fs: add the ability for statmount() to report the sb_source writeback: wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode out of line writeback: add a __releases annoation to wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode fs: add the ability for statmount() to report the fs_subtype fs: don't let statmount return empty strings fs:aio: Remove TODO comment suggesting hash or array usage in io_cancel() hfsplus: don't query the device logical block size multiple times freevxfs: Replace one-element array with flexible array member fs: optimize acl_permission_check() initramfs: avoid filename buffer overrun fs/writeback: convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner to take a folio acl: Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by() acl: Realign struct posix_acl to save 8 bytes epoll: Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback coredump: add cond_resched() to dump_user_range mm/page-writeback.c: Fix comment of wb_domain_writeout_add() mm/page-writeback.c: Update comment for BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL ...
