When attempting to load a livepatch module, I got the following error: module_64: patch_module: Expect noop after relocate, got 3c820000 The error was triggered by the following code in unregister_netdevice_queue(): 14c: 00 00 00 48 b 14c <unregister_netdevice_queue+0x14c> 14c: R_PPC64_REL24 net_set_todo 150: 00 00 82 3c addis r4,r2,0 GCC didn't insert a nop after the branch to net_set_todo() because it's a sibling call, so it never returns. The nop isn't needed after the branch in that case. Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Naveen N.

Livepatch re-uses module loader function apply_relocate_add() to write relocations, instead of managing them by arch-dependent klp_write_module_reloc() function. apply_relocate_add() doesn't understand livepatch symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index) and assumes them to be local symbols by default for R_PPC64_REL24 relocation type. It fails with an error, when trying to calculate offset with local_entry_offset(): module_64: kpatch_meminfo: REL24 -1152921504897399800 out of range! Whereas livepatch symbols are essentially SHN_UNDEF, should be called via stub used for global calls. This issue can be fixed by teaching apply_relocate_add() to handle both SHN_UNDEF/SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols via the same stub. This patch extends SHN_UNDEF code to handle livepatch symbols too.

The workqueue "ps3av->wq" queues a single work item &ps3av->work and hence doesn't require ordering. It is involved in waking up ps3avd to do the video mode setting and hence it's not being used on a memory reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq. System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference. The work item has been flushed in ps3av_remove to ensure that there are no pending tasks while disconnecting the driver.

Dave Martin authored
The fpsimd_update_current_state() function is responsible for loading the FPSIMD state from the user signal frame into the current task during sigreturn. When implementing support for SVE, conditional code was added to this function in order to handle the case where SVE state need to be loaded for the task and merged with the FPSIMD data from the signal frame; however, the FPSIMD-only case was unintentionally dropped. As a result of this, sigreturn does not currently restore the FPSIMD state of the task, except in the case where the system supports SVE and the signal frame contains SVE state in addition to FPSIMD state. This patch fixes this bug by making the copy-in of the FPSIMD data from the signal frame to thread_struct unconditional. This remains a performance regression from v4.14, since the FPSIMD state is now copied into thread_struct and then loaded back, instead of _only_ being loaded into the CPU FPSIMD registers. However, it is essential to call task_fpsimd_load() here anyway in order to ensure that the SVE enable bit in CPACR_EL1 is set correctly before returning to userspace. This could use some refactoring, but since sigreturn is not a fast path I have kept this patch as a pure fix and left the refactoring for later.

When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code dynamic ftrace relies on. In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages, which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC). Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing PLT support routines.

When an AFS inode is allocated by afs_alloc_inode(), the allocated afs_vnode struct isn't necessarily reset from the last time it was used as an inode because the slab constructor is only invoked once when the memory is obtained from the page allocator. This means that information can leak from one inode to the next because we're not calling kmem_cache_zalloc(). Some of the information isn't reset, in particular the permit cache pointer. Bring the clearances up to date. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com>
