treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

kernel.h: split out min()/max() et al. helpers

2020-10-16T18:11:19+00:00

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al.  helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

2020-10-13T22:58:10+00:00

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
"The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation,
including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and
read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and
without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers.

The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few
more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the
message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being
discussed and should be ready for the next release.

The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to
avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to
the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message
can be extended.

The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an
integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the
descriptor ring with other metadata.

The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It
allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary
values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata.

This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers
2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. The
next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal
system operation. It will require special handling of situations when
the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot,
suspend, panic.

Other changes:

- Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of
the rework and is familiar with the code and history.

- Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report.

- Few code cleanups"

kernel.h: Move oops_in_progress to printk.h

2020-09-15T11:51:08+00:00

The oops_in_progress is defined in printk.c, so it's logical
to move oops_in_progress to printk.h.

kernel.h: Silence sparse warning in lower_32_bits

2020-08-28T18:21:20+00:00

I keep getting sparse warnings in crypto such as:

  CHECK   drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c
   drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c:49:9: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (47b5481dbefa4fa4 becomes befa4fa4)
   drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c:49:26: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (db0c2e0d64f98fa7 becomes 64f98fa7)
   [.. many more ..]

This patch removes the warning by adding a mask to keep sparse
happy.

panic: make print_oops_end_marker() static

Since print_oops_end_marker() is not used externally, also remove it in
kernel.h at the same time.

kstrto: do not describe simple_strto() as obsolete/replaced

2020-08-12T17:58:00+00:00

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions.  Both of these
terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different
behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are
cases where they have benefits over kstrto*().

Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to
simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".
