fa60ce2cb4 treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft
The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."

I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.

Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.

It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.

If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

5aa6b70ed1 arm: print alloc free paths for address in registers
In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object
is required to debug futher.  In most of cases the object address is
present in one of the registers.

Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its
alloc and free path.

e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after
free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f

bbcd53c960 drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".

Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.

Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like

a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
  -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.

b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
  -> mem_pfn_is_ram()

Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.

Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.

CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?).  All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.

1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
   basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
   /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
   RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
   serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
   to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"

2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
   kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
   deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
   pages, though)

3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
   better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
   yourself into the foot.

4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
   to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
   /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
   kernels can be used.

5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.

Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

17652f4240 modules: add CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH
Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string.  This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface.  [1]

When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.

This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper.  By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.

For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.

[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

e7cb072eb9 init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronously
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.

These two patches are independent, but better-together.

The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g.  the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.

The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish.  Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.

There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules.  But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).

This patch (of 2):

Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed.  So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.

This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough.  By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.

Normal desktops might benefit as well.  On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:

[    0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[    1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K

Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg.  With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.

Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.

But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e.  request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs().  So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

07416af11d kernel/async.c: stop guarding pr_debug() statements
It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something.  Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons
of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further
means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.

Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change,
so there are W=2 warnings

kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their
messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command
line argument.  For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to
nothing.

This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value,
but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by
factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

56fd94919b kernel/resource: fix locking in request_free_mem_region
request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory.  It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.

However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region.  This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:

        /*
         * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
         * become unavailable to other users.  Conflicts are
         * not expected.  Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
         */
        if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
                pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
                        conflict->name, conflict, res);

These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls.  This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.

3c9c797534 kernel/resource: make walk_mem_res() find all busy IORESOURCE_MEM resources
It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree.  However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.

IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM and
just a special type of IORESOURCE_MEM.

The function walk_mem_res() only considers the first level and is used in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only.  We currently fail to
identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as
"IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such
"normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller().

Let's find all IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the
function behave similar to walk_system_ram_res().

97f61c8f44 kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() find all busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources
Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2.

Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not
consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the
elf header for kdump.  Looking into the details, the logic used in
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated.

walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up.

Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ...  will result in the kdump
kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now.

Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this
memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem.

This patch (of 3):

It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree.  However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.

We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only
consideres the first level:

a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip
   IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via
   locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be
   placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory.  No
   change.

b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently
   not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them
   not getting dumped via kdump.

This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and
including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on
x86-64.  Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore,
always considers all added System RAM already.

Let's find all IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making
the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().

526940e396 scripts/gdb: add lx_current support for arm64
arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address.  While running
in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace.  So if the upper bit is not 1
(not TTBR1), the current address is invalid.  This patch checks the upper
bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return
the derefrence of current task.  Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users
they are running in userspace(EL0).

While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current
task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.

dc9586823f scripts/gdb: document lx_current is only supported by x86
Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.

lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only.  so it actually works on x86 only.  the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.

This patch (of 2):

x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:

  arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
  x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);

  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
  x86/kernel/smpboot.c:	per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;

On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:

  (gdb) p $lx_current().pid
  Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
  Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.

To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,
document it.

happens when a module is loaded into the target kernel.  Fix this by
storing the abspath() of each path given, just like we already do for the
cwd (os.getcwd() is absolute.)

3d1c7fd97e delayacct: clear right task's flag after blkio completes
When I was implementing a latency analyzer tool by using task->delays
and other things, I found an issue in delayacct.  The issue is it should
clear the target's flag instead of current's in delayacct_blkio_end().

When I git blame delayacct, I found there're some similar issues we have
fixed in delayacct_blkio_end().

 - Commit c96f5471ce ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the
   correct task") fixed the issue that it should account blkio
   completion on the target task instead of current.

 - Commit b512719f77 ("delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end()
   after delayacct init failure") fixed the issue that it should check
   target task's delays instead of current task'.

It seems that delayacct_blkio_{begin, end} are error prone.

So I introduce a new paratmeter - the target task 'p' - to these
helpers.  After that change, the callsite will specifilly set the right
task, which should make it less error prone.

1391efa952 gcov: use kvmalloc()
Using vmalloc() in gcov is really quite wasteful, many of the objects
allocated are really small (e.g.  I've seen 24 bytes.) Use kvmalloc() to
automatically pick the better of kmalloc() or vmalloc() depending on the
size.

b2075dbb15 kexec: dump kmessage before machine_kexec
kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(),
machine_halt(), and machine_power_off().  The only one that is missing

The dmesg output that it contains can be used to study the shutdown
performance of both kernel and systemd during kexec reboot.

Here is example of dmesg data collected after kexec:

5449162ac0 do_wait: make PIDTYPE_PID case O(1) instead of O(n)
Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc)
to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an
O(1) lookup.  This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a
thread group with many children and/or tracees.

Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already
has N children [1]:

N    | Before  | After
-----|---------|------
1    | 74 us   | 74 us
20   | 72 us   | 75 us
100  | 83 us   | 77 us
500  | 99 us   | 74 us
1000 | 179 us  | 75 us
5000 | 804 us  | 79 us
8000 | 1268 us | 78 us

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567

This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with
a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on
them.  Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of
processes are likely to fall into this category.  In particular this patch
was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the
Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling
(without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance
penalty) [3].  Other examples of tools that fall into this category which
this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

c1e4726f46 hpfs: replace one-element array with flexible-array member
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warning:

  CC [M]  fs/hpfs/dir.o
fs/hpfs/dir.c: In function `hpfs_readdir':
fs/hpfs/dir.c:163:41: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of `u8[1]' {aka `unsigned char[1]'} [-Warray-bounds]
  163 |         || de ->name[0] != 1 || de->name[1] != 1))
      |                                 ~~~~~~~~^~~
