Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"This time around we have four lines of diff in the core framework,
removing a function that isn't used anymore. Otherwise the main new
thing for the common clk framework is that it is selectable in the
Kconfig language now. Hopefully this will let clk drivers and clk
consumers be testable on more than the architectures that support the
clk framework. The goal is to introduce some Kunit tests for the
framework.
Outside of the core framework we have the usual set of various driver
updates and non-critical fixes. The dirstat shows that the new
Baikal-T1 driver is the largest addition this time around in terms of
lines of code. After that the x86 (Intel), Qualcomm, and Mediatek
drivers introduce many lines to support new or upcoming SoCs. After
that the dirstat shows the usual suspects working on their SoC support
by fixing minor bugs, correcting data and converting some of their DT
bindings to YAML.
Core:
- Allow the COMMON_CLK config to be selectable
New Drivers:
- Clk driver for Baikal-T1 SoCs
- Mediatek MT6765 clock support
- Support for Intel Agilex clks
- Add support for X1830 and X1000 Ingenic SoC clk controllers
- Add support for the new Renesas RZ/G1H (R8A7742) SoC
- Add support for Qualcomm's MSM8939 Generic Clock Controller
Updates:
- Support IDT VersaClock 5P49V5925
- Bunch of updates for HSDK clock generation unit (CGU) driver
- Start making audio and GPU clks work on Marvell MMP2/MMP3 SoCs
- Add some GPU, NPU, and UFS clks to Qualcomm SM8150 driver
- Enable supply regulators for GPU gdscs on Qualcomm SoCs
- Add support for Si5342, Si5344 and Si5345 chips
- Support custom flags in Xilinx zynq firmware
- Various small fixes to the Xilinx clk driver
- A single minor rounding fix for the legacy Allwinner clock support
- A few patches from Abel Vesa as preparation of adding audiomix
clock support on i.MX
- A couple of cleanups from Anson Huang for i.MX clk-sscg-pll and
clk-pllv3 drivers
- Drop dependency on ARM64 for i.MX8M clock driver, to support
aarch32 mode on aarch64 hardware
- A series from Peng Fan to improve i.MX8M clock drivers, using
composite clock for core and bus clk slice
- Set a better parent clock for flexcan on i.MX6UL to support CiA102
defined bit rates
- A couple changes for EMC frequency scaling on Tegra210
- Support for CPU frequency scaling on Tegra20/Tegra30
- New clk gate for CSI test pattern generator on Tegra210
- Regression fixes for Samsung exynos542x and exynos5433 SoCs
- Use of fallthrough; attribute for Samsung s3c24xx
- Updates and fixup HDMI and video clocks on Meson8b
- Fixup reset polarity on Meson8b
- Fix GPU glitch free mux switch on Meson gx and g12
- A minor fix for the currently unused suspend/resume handling on
Renesas RZ/A1 and RZ/A2

The graph tracer hooks returns by modifying frame records on the
(regular) stack, but with SCS the return address is taken from the
shadow stack, and the value in the frame record has no effect. As we
don't currently have a mechanism to determine the corresponding slot
on the shadow stack (and to pass this through the ftrace
infrastructure), for now let's disable SCS when the graph tracer is
enabled.
With SCS the return address is taken from the shadow stack and the
value in the frame record has no effect. The mcount based graph tracer
hooks returns by modifying frame records on the (regular) stack, and
thus is not compatible. The patchable-function-entry graph tracer
used for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS modifies the LR before it is saved
to the shadow stack, and is compatible.
Modifying the mcount based graph tracer to work with SCS would require
a mechanism to determine the corresponding slot on the shadow stack
(and to pass this through the ftrace infrastructure), and we expect
that everyone will eventually move to the patchable-function-entry
based graph tracer anyway, so for now let's disable SCS when the
mcount-based graph tracer is enabled.
SCS and patchable-function-entry are both supported from LLVM 10.x.

This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html
Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.

As described in the comment, the correct order for freeing pages is:
1) unhook page
2) TLB invalidate page
3) free page
This order equally applies to page directories.
Currently there are two correct options:
- use tlb_remove_page(), when all page directores are full pages and
there are no futher contraints placed by things like software
walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP).
- use MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and tlb_remove_table() when the
architecture does not do IPI based TLB invalidate and has
HAVE_FAST_GUP (or software TLB fill).
This however leaves architectures that don't have page based directories
but don't need RCU in a bind. For those, provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE,
which provides the independent batching for directories without the
additional RCU freeing.

Architectures for which we have hardware walkers of Linux page table
should flush TLB on mmu gather batch allocation failures and batch flush.
Some architectures like POWER supports multiple translation modes (hash
and radix) and in the case of POWER only radix translation mode needs the
above TLBI. This is because for hash translation mode kernel wants to
avoid this extra flush since there are no hardware walkers of linux page
table. With radix translation, the hardware also walks linux page table
and with that, kernel needs to make sure to TLB invalidate page walk cache
before page table pages are freed.
More details in commit d86564a2f085 ("mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating
TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE")
The changes to sparc are to make sure we keep the old behavior since we
are now removing HAVE_RCU_TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE. The default value for
tlb_needs_table_invalidate is to always force an invalidate and sparc can
avoid the table invalidate. Hence we define tlb_needs_table_invalidate to
false for sparc architecture.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New tracing features:
- New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
function.
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct().
As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.
Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
users from writing over their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
and friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.
This along with small clean ups and fixes"

Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

At the moment, the compilation of the old time32 system calls depends
purely on the architecture. As systems with new libc based on 64-bit
time_t are getting deployed, even architectures that previously supported
these (notably x86-32 and arm32 but also many others) no longer depend on
them, and removing them from a kernel image results in a smaller kernel
binary, the same way we can leave out many other optional system calls.
More importantly, on an embedded system that needs to keep working
beyond year 2038, any user space program calling these system calls
is likely a bug, so removing them from the kernel image does provide
an extra debugging help for finding broken applications.
I've gone back and forth on hiding this option unless CONFIG_EXPERT
is set. This version leaves it visible based on the logic that
eventually it will be turned off indefinitely.

This commits selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE when an arch uses the generic
topdown mmap layout functions so that this security feature is on by
default.
Note that this commit also removes the possibility for arm64 to have elf
randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization
is worth nothing.

arm64 handles top-down mmap layout in a way that can be easily reused by
other architectures, so make it available in mm. It then introduces a new
config ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT that can be set by other
architectures to benefit from those functions. Note that this new config
depends on MMU being enabled, if selected without MMU support, a warning
will be thrown.

"This is a bit late, partly due to me travelling, and partly due to a
power outage knocking out some of my test systems *while* I was
travelling.
- Initial support for running on a system with an Ultravisor, which
is software that runs below the hypervisor and protects guests
against some attacks by the hypervisor.
- Support for building the kernel to run as a "Secure Virtual
Machine", ie. as a guest capable of running on a system with an
Ultravisor.
- Some changes to our DMA code on bare metal, to allow devices with
medium sized DMA masks (> 32 && < 59 bits) to use more than 2GB of
DMA space.
- Support for firmware assisted crash dumps on bare metal (powernv).
- Two series fixing bugs in and refactoring our PCI EEH code.
- A large series refactoring our exception entry code to use gas
macros, both to make it more readable and also enable some future
optimisations.
As well as many cleanups and other minor features & fixups.

CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP is now functionally identical to
!CONFIG_MMU, so remove the separate symbol. The only difference is that
arm did not set it for !CONFIG_MMU, but arm uses a separate dma mapping
implementation including its own mmap method, which is handled by moving
the CONFIG_MMU check in dma_can_mmap so that is only applies to the
dma-direct case, just as the other ifdefs for it.

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations.
The format is described in a generic-abi proposal:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion
The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR
format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.
This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option
instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR
format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along
with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied
because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are
unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2).
Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5%
compressed (lz4).

Pull CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub config from Thomas Gleixner:
"The real-time preemption patch set exists for almost 15 years now and
while the vast majority of infrastructure and enhancements have found
their way into the mainline kernel, the final integration of RT is
still missing.
Over the course of the last few years, we have worked on reducing the
intrusivenness of the RT patches by refactoring kernel infrastructure
to be more real-time friendly. Almost all of these changes were
benefitial to the mainline kernel on their own, so there was no
objection to integrate them.
Though except for the still ongoing printk refactoring, the remaining
changes which are required to make RT a first class mainline citizen
are not longer arguable as immediately beneficial for the mainline
kernel. Most of them are either reordering code flows or adding RT
specific functionality.
But this now has hit a wall and turned into a classic hen and egg
problem:
Maintainers are rightfully wary vs. these changes as they make only
sense if the final integration of RT into the mainline kernel takes
place.
Adding CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT aims to solve this as a clear sign that RT
will be fully integrated into the mainline kernel. The final
integration of the missing bits and pieces will be of course done with
the same careful approach as we have used in the past.
While I'm aware that you are not entirely enthusiastic about that, I
think that RT should receive the same treatment as any other widely
used out of tree functionality, which we have accepted into mainline
over the years.
RT has become the de-facto standard real-time enhancement and is
shipped by enterprise, embedded and community distros. It's in use
throughout a wide range of industries: telecommunications, industrial
automation, professional audio, medical devices, data acquisition,
automotive - just to name a few major use cases.
RT development is backed by a Linuxfoundation project which is
supported by major stakeholders of this technology. The funding will
continue over the actual inclusion into mainline to make sure that the
functionality is neither introducing regressions, regressing itself,
nor becomes subject to bitrot. There is also a lifely user community
around RT as well, so contrary to the grim situation 5 years ago, it's
a healthy project.
As RT is still a good vehicle to exercise rarely used code paths and
to detect hard to trigger issues, you could at least view it as a QA
tool if nothing else"

ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE config was declared in both architectures:
move this declaration in arch/Kconfig and make those architectures
select it.

A few architectures support uncached kernel segments. In that case we get
an uncached mapping for a given physica address by using an offset in the
uncached segement. Implement support for this scheme in the generic
dma-direct code instead of duplicating it in arch hooks.

Commit c19fa94a8fed ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for
architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As
the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option
was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data
being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as
it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte
aligned memory location.
But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only
architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that
requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good
enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit.

No need to handle the freeing disable in arch code when we already have a
core hook (and a different name for the option) for it.
