The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.

The jump_label code has two issues:

 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations

 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex

To cure these, the following lock order has been established;

   cpus_rwsem -&gt; jump_label_lock -&gt; text_mutex

Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.

Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.

<id>3821fd35b58dba449bd894014fbf4e1c43c9e951</id>
<content type='text'>
The static_key-&gt;next field goes mostly unused. The field is used for
associating module uses with a static key. Most uses of struct static_key
define a static key in the core kernel and make use of it entirely within
the core kernel, or define the static key in a module and make use of it
only from within that module. In fact, of the ~3,000 static keys defined,
I found only about 5 or so that did not fit this pattern.

Thus, we can remove the static_key-&gt;next field entirely and overload
the static_key-&gt;entries field. That is, when all the static_key uses
are contained within the same module, static_key-&gt;entries continues
to point to those uses. However, if the static_key uses are not contained
within the module where the static_key is defined, then we allocate a
struct static_key_mod, store a pointer to the uses within that
struct static_key_mod, and have the static key point at the static_key_mod.
This does incur some extra memory usage when a static_key is used in a
module that does not define it, but since there are only a handful of such
cases there is a net savings.

In order to identify if the static_key-&gt;entries pointer contains a
struct static_key_mod or a struct jump_entry pointer, bit 1 of
static_key-&gt;entries is set to 1 if it points to a struct static_key_mod and
is 0 if it points to a struct jump_entry. We were already using bit 0 in a
similar way to store the initial value of the static_key. This does mean
that allocations of struct static_key_mod and that the struct jump_entry
tables need to be at least 4-byte aligned in memory. As far as I can tell
all arches meet this criteria.

For my .config, the patch increased the text by 778 bytes, but reduced
the data + bss size by 14912, for a net savings of 14,134 bytes.

Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.

  ro_after_init support to modules.  The rest are all trivia"

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  extable.h: add stddef.h so "NULL" definition is not implicit
  modules: add ro_after_init support
  jump_label: disable preemption around __module_text_address().
  exceptions: fork exception table content from module.h into extable.h
  modules: Add kernel parameter to blacklist modules
  module: Do a WARN_ON_ONCE() for assert module mutex not held
  Documentation/module-signing.txt: Note need for version info if reusing a key
  module: Invalidate signatures on force-loaded modules
  module: Issue warnings when tainting kernel
  module: fix redundant test.

<title>jump_label: remove bug.h, atomic.h dependencies for HAVE_JUMP_LABEL</title>

The current jump_label.h includes bug.h for things such as WARN_ON().
This makes the header problematic for inclusion by kernel.h or any
headers that kernel.h includes, since bug.h includes kernel.h (circular
dependency).  The inclusion of atomic.h is similarly problematic.  Thus,
this should make jump_label.h 'includable' from most places.

Steven reported a warning caused by not holding module_mutex or
rcu_read_lock_sched: his backtrace was corrupted but a quick audit
found this possible cause.  It's wrong anyway...

<title>jump_label: Make it possible for arches to invoke jump_label_init() earlier</title>

Some arches (powerpc at least) would like to invoke jump_label_init()
much earlier in boot. So check static_key_initialized in order to make
sure this function runs only once.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
  couple of major projects happened to coincide.

  The main changes are:

   - implement the atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}() API natively
     across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)

   - add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
     (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
     Waiman Long)

   - optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
     atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
     on arm64 (Will Deacon)

   - introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
     mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)

   - after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
     implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
     usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)

   - optimize mutex_trylock() fastpath (Peter Zijlstra)

   - ... misc fixes and cleanups"
