      objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions · cd77849a
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      The kbuild test robot reported the following issue:
      
        kernel/time/posix-stubs.o: warning: objtool: sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1()+0x0: unreachable instruction
      
      This file creates symbol aliases for the sys_ni_posix_timers() function.
      So there are multiple ELF function symbols for the same function:
      
        23: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __x64_sys_timer_create
        24: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 sys_ni_posix_timers
        25: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __ia32_sys_timer_create
        26: 0000000000000150     26 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 __x64_sys_timer_gettime
      
      Here's the corresponding cold subfunction:
      
        11: 0000000000000000     45 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT        6 sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1
      
      When analyzing overlapping functions, objtool only looks at the first
      one in the symbol list.  The rest of the functions are basically ignored
      because they point to instructions which have already been analyzed.
      
      So in this case it analyzes the __x64_sys_timer_create() function, but
      then it fails to recognize that its cold subfunction is
      sys_ni_posix_timers.cold.1(), because the names are different.
      
      Make the subfunction detection a little smarter by associating each
      subfunction with the first function which jumps to it, since that's the
      one which will be analyzed.
      
      Unfortunately we still have to leave the original subfunction detection
      code in place, thanks to GCC switch tables.  (See the comment for more
      details.)
      
      Fixes: 13810435 ("objtool: Support GCC 8's cold subfunctions")

       - Consolidation of softirq pending:
      
         The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
         scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
         consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
         accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
         efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
         exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
      
       - Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
      
         Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
         ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
         the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
         virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
         charge of maintaining the state of the line.
      
         This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
         hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
         have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
         the kernel has of MSIs.

         memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
         Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.
      
         Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
         tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
         kernel proper as well.
      
       - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
         progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
         threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
         to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)

       "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
        invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
        remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
        and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
        maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
        handling code and thus careful code review.
      
        Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
        struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
        directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
        introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

      Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
       "User visible features:
      
         - added support for the ioctl FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR, per-inode flags,
           successor of GET/SETFLAGS; now supports only existing flags:
           append, immutable, noatime, nodump, sync
      
         - 3 new unprivileged ioctls to allow users to enumerate subvolumes
      
         - dedupe syscall implementation does not restrict the range to 16MiB,
           though it still splits the whole range to 16MiB chunks
      
         - on user demand, rmdir() is able to delete an empty subvolume,
           export the capability in sysfs
      
         - fix inode number types in tracepoints, other cleanups
      
         - send: improved speed when dealing with a large removed directory,
           measurements show decrease from 2000 minutes to 2 minutes on a
           directory with 2 million entries
      
         - pre-commit check of superblock to detect a mysterious in-memory
           corruption
      
         - log message updates
      
        Other changes:
      
         - orphan inode cleanup improved, does no keep long-standing
           reservations that could lead up to early ENOSPC in some cases
      
         - slight improvement of handling snapshotted NOCOW files by avoiding
           some unnecessary tree searches
      
         - avoid OOM when dealing with many unmergeable small extents at flush
           time
      
         - speedup conversion of free space tree representations from/to
           bitmap/tree
      
         - code refactoring, deletion, cleanups:
            + delayed refs
            + delayed iput
            + redundant argument removals
            + memory barrier cleanups

      swait: strengthen language to discourage use · c5e7a7ea
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We already earlier discouraged people from using this interface in
      commit 88796e7e ("sched/swait: Document it clearly that the swait
      facilities are special and shouldn't be used"), but I just got a pull
      request with a new broken user.
      
      So make the comment *really* clear.
      
      The swait interfaces are bad, and should not be used unless you have
      some *very* strong reasons that include tons of hard performance numbers
      on just why you want to use them, and you show that you actually
      understand that they aren't at all like the normal wait/wakeup
      interfaces.
      
      So far, every single user has been suspect.  The main user is KVM, which
      is completely pointless (there is only ever one waiter, which avoids the
      interface subtleties, but also means that having a queue instead of a
      pointer is counter-productive and certainly not an "optimization").
      
      So make the comments much stronger.
      
      Not that anybody likely reads them anyway, but there's always some
      slight hope that it will cause somebody to think twice.
      
      I'd like to remove this interface entirely, but there is the theoretical
      possibility that it's actually the right thing to use in some situation,
      most likely some deep RT use.

         right thing for bounce buffering.
      
       - move dma-debug initialization to common code, and apply a few
         cleanups to the dma-debug code.
      
       - cleanup the Kconfig mess around swiotlb selection
      
       - swiotlb comment fixup (Yisheng Xie)
      
       - a trivial swiotlb fix. (Dan Carpenter)
      
       - support swiotlb on RISC-V. (based on a patch from Palmer Dabbelt)
      
       - add a new generic dma-noncoherent dma_map_ops implementation and use
         it for arc, c6x and nds32.
      
       - improve scatterlist validity checking in dma-debug. (Robin Murphy)
      
       - add a struct device quirk to limit the dma-mask to 32-bit due to
         bridge/system issues, and switch x86 to use it instead of a local
         hack for VIA bridges.
      
       - handle devices without a dma_mask more gracefully in the dma-direct
         code.
