Limit the number of kmemleak false positives by including
.data.ro_after_init in memory scanning.  To achieve this we need to add
symbols for start and end of the section to the linker scripts.

The problem was been uncovered by commit 56989f6d8568 ("genetlink: mark
families as __ro_after_init").

This reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first
registered if DT specifies stdout-path").

The reverted commit changes existing behavior on which many ARM boards
rely.  Many ARM small-board-computers, like e.g.  the Raspberry Pi have
both a video output and a serial console.  Depending on whether the user
is using the device as a more regular computer; or as a headless device
we need to have the console on either one or the other.

Many users rely on the kernel behavior of the console being present on
both outputs, before the reverted commit the console setup with no
console= kernel arguments on an ARM board which sets stdout-path in dt
would look like this:

  [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
  ttyS0                -W- (EC p a)    4:64
  tty0                 -WU (E  p  )    4:1

Where as after the reverted commit, it looks like this:

  [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
  ttyS0                -W- (EC p a)    4:64

This commit reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first
registered if DT specifies stdout-path") restoring the original
behavior.

<title>mm, frontswap: make sure allocated frontswap map is assigned</title>

Christian Borntraeger reports:

With commit 8ea1d2a1985a ("mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to
static key") kmemleak complains about a memory leak in swapon

    unreferenced object 0x3e09ba56000 (size 32112640):
      comm "swapon", pid 7852, jiffies 4294968787 (age 1490.770s)
      hex dump (first 32 bytes):
        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
      backtrace:
         __vmalloc_node_range+0x194/0x2d8
         vzalloc+0x58/0x68
         SyS_swapon+0xd60/0x12f8
         system_call+0xd6/0x270

Turns out kmemleak is right.  We now allocate the frontswap map
depending on the kernel config (and no longer on the enablement)

  swapfile.c:
  [...]
      if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP))
                frontswap_map = vzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(maxpages) * sizeof(long));

but later on this is passed along
  --&gt; enable_swap_info(p, prio, swap_map, cluster_info, frontswap_map);

and ignored if frontswap is disabled
  --&gt; frontswap_init(p-&gt;type, frontswap_map);

  static inline void frontswap_init(unsigned type, unsigned long *map)
  {
        if (frontswap_enabled())
                __frontswap_init(type, map);
  }

Thing is, that frontswap map is never freed.

The leakage is relatively not that bad, because swapon is an infrequent
and privileged operation.  However, if the first frontswap backend is
registered after a swap type has been already enabled, it will WARN_ON
in frontswap_register_ops() and frontswap will not be available for the
swap type.

Fix this by making sure the map is assigned by frontswap_init() as long
as CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is enabled.

Christian Borntraeger reports:

With commit 8ea1d2a1985a ("mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to
static key") kmemleak complains about a memory leak in swapon

    unreferenced object 0x3e09ba56000 (size 32112640):
      comm "swapon", pid 7852, jiffies 4294968787 (age 1490.770s)
      hex dump (first 32 bytes):
        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
      backtrace:
         __vmalloc_node_range+0x194/0x2d8
         vzalloc+0x58/0x68
         SyS_swapon+0xd60/0x12f8
         system_call+0xd6/0x270

Turns out kmemleak is right.  We now allocate the frontswap map
depending on the kernel config (and no longer on the enablement)

  swapfile.c:
  [...]
      if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP))
                frontswap_map = vzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(maxpages) * sizeof(long));

but later on this is passed along
  --&gt; enable_swap_info(p, prio, swap_map, cluster_info, frontswap_map);

and ignored if frontswap is disabled
  --&gt; frontswap_init(p-&gt;type, frontswap_map);

  static inline void frontswap_init(unsigned type, unsigned long *map)
  {
        if (frontswap_enabled())
                __frontswap_init(type, map);
  }

Thing is, that frontswap map is never freed.

The leakage is relatively not that bad, because swapon is an infrequent
and privileged operation.  However, if the first frontswap backend is
registered after a swap type has been already enabled, it will WARN_ON
in frontswap_register_ops() and frontswap will not be available for the
swap type.

Fix this by making sure the map is assigned by frontswap_init() as long
as CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is enabled.

osdc-&gt;last_linger_id is a counter for lreq-&gt;linger_id, which is used
for watch cookies.  Starting with a large integer should ease the task
of telling apart kernel and userspace clients.
