Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:
#include "warn.h"
#include "arch_elf.h"
it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
#include "../../elf.h"
With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
/usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
scheme.
Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?
#include <objtool/warn.h>
#include <arch/elf.h>
And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.
#include <objtool/elf.h>
This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
exports).
To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

Correct objtool orc generation endianness problems to enable fully
functional x86 cross-compiles on big endian hardware.
Introduce bswap_if_needed() macro, which does a byte swap if target
endianness doesn't match the host, i.e. cross-compilation for little
endian on big endian and vice versa. The macro is used for conversion
of multi-byte values which are read from / about to be written to a
target native endianness ELF file.

Relocations generated in elf_rebuild_rel[a]_reloc_section() are broken
if objtool is built and run on a big endian system.
The following errors pop up during x86 cross-compilation:
x86_64-9.1.0-ld: fs/efivarfs/inode.o: bad reloc symbol index (0x2000000 >= 0x22) for offset 0 in section `.orc_unwind_ip'
x86_64-9.1.0-ld: final link failed: bad value
Convert those functions to use gelf_update_rel[a](), similar to what
elf_write_reloc() does.

The x86 instruction decoder code is shared across the kernel source and
the tools. Currently objtool seems to be the only tool from build tools
needed which breaks x86 cross-compilation on big endian systems. Make
the x86 instruction decoder build host endianness agnostic to support
x86 cross-compilation and enable objtool to implement endianness
awareness for big endian architectures support.

Currently the x86 instruction decoder is used from:
- the kernel itself,
- from tools like objtool and perf,
- within x86 tools, i.e. instruction decoder selftests.
The first two cases are similar, because tools headers try to mimic
kernel headers.
Instruction decoder selftests include some of the kernel headers
directly, including uapi headers. This works until headers dependencies
are kept to a minimum and tools are not cross-compiled. Since the goal
of the x86 instruction decoder selftests is not to verify uapi headers,
move it to using tools headers, like is already done for vdso2c tool,
mkpiggy and other tools in arch/x86/boot/.

On arm64, the compiler can set the frame pointer either
with a move operation or with and add operation like:
add (SP + constant), BP

A valid stack frame should contain both the return address and the
previous frame pointer value.
On x86, the return value is placed on the stack by the calling
instructions. On other architectures, the callee needs to explicitly
save the return address on the stack.
Add the necessary checks to verify a function properly sets up all the
elements of the stack frame.

When the creator of SQPOLL io_uring dies (i.e. sqo_task), we don't want
its internals like ->files and ->mm to be poked by the SQPOLL task, it
have never been nice and recently got racy. That can happen when the
owner undergoes destruction and SQPOLL tasks tries to submit new
requests in parallel, and so calls io_sq_thread_acquire*().
That patch halts SQPOLL submissions when sqo_task dies by introducing
sqo_dead flag. Once set, the SQPOLL task must not do any submission,
which is synchronised by uring_lock as well as the new flag.
The tricky part is to make sure that disabling always happens, that
means either the ring is discovered by creator's do_exit() -> cancel,
or if the final close() happens before it's done by the creator. The
last is guaranteed by the fact that for SQPOLL the creator task and only
it holds exactly one file note, so either it pins up to do_exit() or
removed by the creator on the final put in flush. (see comments in
uring_flush() around file->f_count == 2).
One more place that can trigger io_sq_thread_acquire_*() is
__io_req_task_submit(). Shoot off requests on sqo_dead there, even
though actually we don't need to. That's because cancellation of
sqo_task should wait for the request before going any further.
note 1: io_disable_sqo_submit() does io_ring_set_wakeup_flag() so the
caller would enter the ring to get an error, but it still doesn't
guarantee that the flag won't be cleared.
note 2: if final __userspace__ close happens not from the creator
task, the file note will pin the ring until the task dies.

BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET
If BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET is set in incompat feature
set, it means the cache device is created with obsoleted layout with
obso_bucket_site_hi. Now bcache does not support this feature bit, a new
BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE incompat feature bit is added
for a better layout to support large bucket size.
For the legacy compatibility purpose, if a cache device created with
obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit, all bcache
devices attached to this cache set should be set to read-only. Then the
dirty data can be written back to backing device before re-create the
cache device with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE feature bit
by the latest bcache-tools.
This patch checks BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit
when running a cache set and attach a bcache device to the cache set. If
this bit is set,
- When run a cache set, print an error kernel message to indicate all
following attached bcache device will be read-only.
- When attach a bcache device, print an error kernel message to indicate
the attached bcache device will be read-only, and ask users to update
to latest bcache-tools.
Such change is only for cache device whose bucket size >= 32MB, this is
for the zoned SSD and almost nobody uses such large bucket size at this
moment. If you don't explicit set a large bucket size for a zoned SSD,
such change is totally transparent to your bcache device.

When large bucket feature was added, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET
was introduced into the incompat feature set. It used bucket_size_hi
(which was added at the tail of struct cache_sb_disk) to extend current
16bit bucket size to 32bit with existing bucket_size in struct
cache_sb_disk.
This is not a good idea, there are two obvious problems,
- Bucket size is always value power of 2, if store log2(bucket size) in
existing bucket_size of struct cache_sb_disk, it is unnecessary to add
bucket_size_hi.
- Macro csum_set() assumes d[SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS] is the last member in
struct cache_sb_disk, bucket_size_hi was added after d[] which makes
csum_set calculate an unexpected super block checksum.
To fix the above problems, this patch introduces a new incompat feature
bit BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE, when this bit is set, it
means bucket_size in struct cache_sb_disk stores the order of power-of-2
bucket size value. When user specifies a bucket size larger than 32768
sectors, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE will be set to
incompat feature set, and bucket_size stores log2(bucket size) more
than store the real bucket size value.
The obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET won't be used anymore,
it is renamed to BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET and still only
recognized by kernel driver for legacy compatible purpose. The previous
bucket_size_hi is renmaed to obso_bucket_size_hi in struct cache_sb_disk
and not used in bcache-tools anymore.
For cache device created with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET feature,
bcache-tools and kernel driver still recognize the feature string and
display it as "obso_large_bucket".
With this change, the unnecessary extra space extend of bcache on-disk
super block can be avoided, and csum_set() may generate expected check
sum as well.

This patch adds the check for features which is incompatible for
current supported feature sets.
Now if the bcache device created by bcache-tools has features that
current kernel doesn't support, read_super() will fail with error
messoage. E.g. if an unsupported incompatible feature detected,
bcache register will fail with dmesg "bcache: register_bcache() error :
Unsupported incompatible feature found".

The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the
"poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cfc222
("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call").
I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal
core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any
more. But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a
__put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array.
Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the
'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_
pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole
array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines
earlier to get the original values.
But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded
applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the
pollfd array. So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth
trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents"
model.
To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()"
instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()"
guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.

This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e.
The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.
It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().
Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.
The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
that was widely used and worked only by chance.
This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.
The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:
+ Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
the ultimate fallback.
+ ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
by a better console later.
Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.
Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.
