On parisc, each IRQ can only be handled by one CPU, and currently CPU0 is choosen as default for handling all IRQs by default. With this patch we now assign each requested IRQ to one of the online CPUs (and thus distribute the IRQs across all CPUs), even without an instance of irqbalance running.

Similar to commit bcf3f175 ("parisc: Hide Diva-built-in serial aux and graphics card") it's better to hide the built-in serial AUX port at bootup. When not hiding the port, the Linux serial driver will try to manage this port and fails on a A500 server like this: serial 0000:00:05.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003) serial 0000:00:05.0: enabling SERR and PARITY (0003 -> 0143) 0000:00:05.0: ttyS3 at MMIO 0xfffffffff8005000 (irq = 71, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A serial 0000:00:05.0: Couldn't register serial port 0, irq 71, type 2, error -28 Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

In v4.20 we changed our pgd/pud_present() to check for _PAGE_PRESENT rather than just checking that the value is non-zero, e.g.: static inline int pgd_present(pgd_t pgd) { - return !pgd_none(pgd); + return (pgd_raw(pgd) & cpu_to_be64(_PAGE_PRESENT)); } Unfortunately this is broken on big endian, as the result of the bitwise & is truncated to int, which is always zero because _PAGE_PRESENT is 0x8000000000000000ul. This means pgd_present() and pud_present() are always false at compile time, and the compiler elides the subsequent code. Remarkably with that bug present we are still able to boot and run with few noticeable effects. However under some work loads we are able to trigger a warning in the ext4 code: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 29593 at fs/ext4/inode.c:3927 .ext4_set_page_dirty+0x70/0xb0 CPU: 11 PID: 29593 Comm: debugedit Not tainted 4.20.0-rc1 #1 ...

Ard Biesheuvel authored
In the irqchip and EFI code, we have what basically amounts to a quirk to work around a peculiarity in the GICv3 architecture, which permits the system memory address of LPI tables to be programmable only once after a CPU reset. This means kexec kernels must use the same memory as the first kernel, and thus ensure that this memory has not been given out for other purposes by the time the ITS init code runs, which is not very early for secondary CPUs. On systems with many CPUs, these reservations could overflow the memblock reservation table, and this was addressed in commit: eff89628 ("efi/arm: Defer persistent reservations until after paging_init()") However, this turns out to have made things worse, since the allocation of page tables and heap space for the resized memblock reservation table itself may overwrite the regions we are attempting to reserve, which may cause all kinds of corruption, also considering that the ITS will still be poking bits into that memory in response to incoming MSIs. So instead, let's grow the static memblock reservation table on such systems so it can accommodate these reservations at an earlier time. This will permit us to revert the above commit in a subsequent patch.

While trying to reproduce a reported kernel panic on arm64, I discovered that AUTH_GSS basically doesn't work at all with older enctypes on arm64 systems with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK enabled. It turns out there still a few places using stack memory with scatterlists, causing krb5_encrypt() and krb5_decrypt() to produce incorrect results (or a BUG if CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled).

The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings (enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target. In particular, it triggers for all the init/cleanup_module aliases in the kernel (defined by the module_init/exit macros), ending up being very noisy. These aliases point to the __init/__exit functions of a module, which are defined as __cold (among other attributes). However, the aliases themselves do not have the __cold attribute. Since the compiler behaves differently when compiling a __cold function as well as when compiling paths leading to calls to __cold functions, the warning is trying to point out the possibly-forgotten attribute in the alias. In order to keep the warning enabled, we decided to silence this case. Ideally, we would mark the aliases directly as __init/__exit. However, there are currently around 132 modules in the kernel which are missing __init/__exit in their init/cleanup functions (either because they are missing, or for other reasons, e.g. the functions being called from somewhere else); and a section mismatch is a hard error. A conservative alternative was to mark the aliases as __cold only. However, since we would like to eventually enforce __init/__exit to be always marked, we chose to use the new __copy function attribute (introduced by GCC 9 as well to deal with this). With it, we copy the attributes used by the target functions into the aliases. This way, functions that were not marked as __init/__exit won't have their aliases marked either, and therefore there won't be a section mismatch. Note that the warning would go away marking either the extern declaration, the definition, or both. However, we only mark the definition of the alias, since we do not want callers (which only see the declaration) to be compiled as if the function was __cold (and therefore the paths leading to those calls would be assumed to be unlikely).

From the GCC manual: copy copy(function) The copy attribute applies the set of attributes with which function has been declared to the declaration of the function to which the attribute is applied. The attribute is designed for libraries that define aliases or function resolvers that are expected to specify the same set of attributes as their targets. The copy attribute can be used with functions, variables, or types. However, the kind of symbol to which the attribute is applied (either function or variable) must match the kind of symbol to which the argument refers. The copy attribute copies only syntactic and semantic attributes but not attributes that affect a symbol’s linkage or visibility such as alias, visibility, or weak. The deprecated attribute is also not copied. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings (enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target, e.g.: void __cold f(void) {} void __alias("f") g(void); diagnoses: warning: 'g' specifies less restrictive attribute than its target 'f': 'cold' [-Wmissing-attributes] Using __copy(f) we can copy the __cold attribute from f to g: void __cold f(void) {} void __copy(f) __alias("f") g(void); This attribute is most useful to deal with situations where an alias is declared but we don't know the exact attributes the target has. For instance, in the kernel, the widely used module_init/exit macros define the init/cleanup_module aliases, but those cannot be marked always as __init/__exit since some modules do not have their functions marked as such.
