Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2018-08-26T17:13:21+00:00

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Correct the L1TF fallout on 32bit and the off by one in the 'too much
   RAM for protection' calculation.

 - Add a helpful kernel message for the 'too much RAM' case

 - Unbreak the VDSO in case that the compiler desides to use indirect
   jumps/calls and emits retpolines which cannot be resolved because the
   kernel uses its own thunks, which does not work for the VDSO. Make it
   use the builtin thunks.

 - Re-export start_thread() which was unexported when the 32/64bit
   implementation was unified. start_thread() is required by modular
   binfmt handlers.

 - Trivial cleanups

kbuild: rename LDFLAGS to KBUILD_LDFLAGS

2018-08-23T23:22:08+00:00

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.

Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.

I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

kbuild: test dead code/data elimination support in Kconfig

2018-08-23T23:10:00+00:00

This config option should be enabled only when both the compiler and
the linker support necessary flags.  Add proper dependencies to Kconfig.

kbuild: remove "rpm" target, which is alias of "rpm-pkg"

2018-08-22T14:21:42+00:00

As commit ebaad7d36406 ("kbuild: rpm: prompt to use "rpm-pkg" if "rpm"
target is used") noticed, the "rpm" target is now removed.
I assume people have already migrated to "rpm-pkg".

Merge tag 'trace-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2018-08-21T01:32:00+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers

This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.

He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
limited to not being called in NMIs.

- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
SRCU API.

- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.

- Addition of mcount-nop option support

- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.

- Various other fixes and clean ups.

- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
the merge window opened.

x86/vdso: Fix vDSO build if a retpoline is emitted

2018-08-20T16:04:41+00:00

Currently, if the vDSO ends up containing an indirect branch or
call, GCC will emit the "external thunk" style of retpoline, and it
will fail to link.

Fix it by building the vDSO with inline retpoline thunks.

I haven't seen any reports of this triggering on an unpatched
kernel.

tracing: Add -mcount-nop option support

2018-08-16T02:38:38+00:00

-mcount-nop gcc option generates the calls to the profiling functions
as nops which allows to avoid patching mcount jump with NOP instructions
initially.

-mcount-nop gcc option will be activated if platform selects
HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT and gcc actually supports it.
In addition to that CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined and could be used by
architectures to adapt ftrace patching behavior.

tracing: Avoid calling cc-option -mrecord-mcount for every Makefile

2018-08-16T02:37:22+00:00

Currently if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is enabled -mrecord-mcount
compiler flag support is tested for every Makefile.

Top 4 cc-option usages:
    511 -mrecord-mcount
     11  -fno-stack-protector
      9 -Wno-override-init
      2 -fsched-pressure

To address that move cc-option from scripts/Makefile.build to top Makefile
and export CC_USING_RECORD_MCOUNT to be used in original place.

While doing that also add -mrecord-mcount to CC_FLAGS_FTRACE (if gcc
actually supports it).

tracing: Handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately

2018-08-16T02:36:12+00:00

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is exported and later used to remove ftrace relevant
build flags from files which should be built without ftrace support.
For that reason add -mfentry to CC_FLAGS_FTRACE as well. That fixes
a problem with vdso32 build on s390, where -mfentry could not be used
together with -m31 flag.

At the same time flags like -pg and -mfentry are not relevant for asm
files, so avoid adding them to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

Introduce CC_FLAGS_USING instead of CC_USING_FENTRY to collect
-DCC_USING_FENTRY (and future alike) which are relevant for both
KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS.
