b6a7828502 modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
 
  * Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
  * Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
  * My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
    module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
    proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
 
 Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
 the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
 prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
 respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
 the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
 reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
 issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
 kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
 been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
 just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
 
 Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
 on this pull request.
 
 The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
 patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
 struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
 types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
 one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
 one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
 future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
 they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
 areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
 merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
 of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
 for it.
 
 Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
 using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
 dynamic debug information.
 
 Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
 license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
 so to:
 
   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
      is active with no clear solution in sight.
 
   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
 
 In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
 for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
 modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
 or tristate.conf").  Nick has been working on this *for years* and
 AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
 for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
 that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
 if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
 lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
 -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
 suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
 -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
 mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
 not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
 recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
 BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
 well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
 patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
 been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
 
 In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
 be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
 developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
 when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
 and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
 requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
 rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
 the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
 concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
 MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
 they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
 to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
 really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
 any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
 the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
 license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers.  To see
 if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
 can just use:
 
   ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
 	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
 
 You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
 but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
 license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
 it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
 
 Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
 and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
 Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
 
 The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
 were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
 a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
 out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
 consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
 already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
 do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
 
 The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
 in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
 fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
 week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
 window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
 with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
 a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
 proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
 of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
 but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
 instead.

2341629ead macintosh/adb: Rework printk output again
Avoid the KERN_CONT problem by avoiding message fragments. The problem
arises during async ADB bus probing, when ADB messages may get mixed up
with other messages. See also, commit 4bcc595ccd ("printk: reinstate
KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines").

Remove a number of printk() continuation lines by logging handler
changes in adb_try_handler_change() instead.

This patch addresses the problematic use of "\n" at the beginning of
pr_cont() messages, which got overlooked in commit f2be629568
("macintosh/adb: Properly mark continued kernel messages").

That commit also changed printk(KERN_DEBUG ...) to pr_debug(...), which
hinders work on low-level ADB driver bugs. Revert that change.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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:

 - 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:

   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.

d851b6e04e mac: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

file=$1
name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then

c61dace9a1 [POWERPC] Convert adb.c to use kthread API and not spin on ADB requests
This converts adb.c to use the kthread API.

It also changes adb_request so that if the ADBREQ_SYNC flag is
specified, we now sleep waiting for the request to finish using an
on-stack completion rather than spinning.  To implement this, we now
require that if the ADBREQ_SYNC flag is set, the `done' parameter must
be NULL.  All of the existing callers of adb_request that pass
ADBREQ_SYNC appear to be in process context and have done == NULL.
Doing this allows us to get rid of an awful hack in adb_request()
where we used to test whether the request was coming from the adb
probe task and use a completion if it was, and otherwise spin.

This also gets rid of a static request block that was used if the req
parameter to adb_request was NULL.  None of the callers do that any
more, so the static request block is no longer necessary.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.
