It doesn't, because the clean targets don't include kernel/Makefile, and
because two files were missing from the list.

Use the same digest type for the autogenerated key signature as for the module
signature so that the hash algorithm is guaranteed to be present in the kernel.
Without this, the X.509 certificate loader may reject the X.509 certificate so
generated because it was self-signed and the signature will be checked against
itself - but this won't work if the digest algorithm must be loaded as a
module.
The symptom is that the key fails to load with the following message emitted
into the kernel log:
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-65)
the error in brackets being -ENOPKG. What you should see is something like:
MODSIGN: Loaded cert 'Magarathea: Glacier signing key: 9588321144239a119d3406d4c4cf1fbae1836fa0'
Note that this doesn't apply to certificates that are not self-signed as we
don't check those currently as they require the parent CA certificate to be
available.

Include a PGP keyring containing the public keys required to perform module
verification in the kernel image during build and create a special keyring
during boot which is then populated with keys of crypto type holding the public
keys found in the PGP keyring.
These can be seen by root:
[root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/keys
07ad4ee0 I----- 1 perm 3f010000 0 0 crypto modsign.0: RSA 87b9b3bd []
15c7f8c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .module_sign: 1/4
...
It is probably worth permitting root to invalidate these keys, resulting in
their removal and preventing further modules from being loaded with that key.

Automatically generate keys for module signing if they're absent so that
allyesconfig doesn't break. The builder should consider generating their own
key and certificate, however, so that the keys are appropriately named.
The private key for the module signer should be placed in signing_key.priv
(unencrypted!) and the public key in an X.509 certificate as signing_key.x509.
If a transient key is desired for signing the modules, a config file for
'openssl req' can be placed in x509.genkey, looking something like the
following:
[ req ]
default_bits = 4096
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
x509_extensions = myexts
[ req_distinguished_name ]
O = Magarathea
CN = Glacier signing key
emailAddress = slartibartfast@magrathea.h2g2
[ myexts ]
basicConstraints=critical,CA:FALSE
keyUsage=digitalSignature
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=hash
The build process will use this to configure:
openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha1 -days 36500 -batch \
-x509 -config x509.genkey \
-outform DER -out signing_key.x509 \
-keyout signing_key.priv
to generate the key.
Note that it is required that the X.509 certificate have a subjectKeyIdentifier
and an authorityKeyIdentifier. Without those, the certificate will be
rejected. These can be used to check the validity of a certificate.
Note that 'make distclean' will remove signing_key.{priv,x509} and x509.genkey,
whether or not they were generated automatically.

We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway). There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.
If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.
- Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt
- Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
of needless calls to libtraceevent.
- Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa
- UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim
- Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
from Eric Sandeen.
- Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
'report', from Feng Tang.
- Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.
- Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.
- Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.
- Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.
- Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.
- Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa
- Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
from David Ahern
- Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
browser, From Namhyung Kim
- Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.
- Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.
- Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
fix from Jiri Olsa.
- .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.
- Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.
- Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
works in C++, from Steven Rostedt
- Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
exit routine can take place, from David Ahern
- Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.
- {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose
- perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim
- Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
from Maciek Borzecki
- Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa
- Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
successfully.
- Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
Ahern
- Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
Kim
- Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
already, fix from Namhyung Kim
- Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.
- Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa
- Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
from Namhyung Kim
- Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
line, from Robert Richter
- Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
Hutchings
- Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern
- Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter
- Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt
- perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.
- Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker
- Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.
- Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.
- Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
.opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
Schafer.
- Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
Richter
- Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event
repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.
[ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
far parsing the common and per event fields. ]
- Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
Trippelsdorf.
- Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
from Jiri Olsa"

Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",
in April 2009, made trace_clock available unconditionally, since
CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.
Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

Because kernel subsystems need their per-CPU kthreads on UP systems as
well as on SMP systems, the smpboot hotplug kthread functions must be
provided in UP builds as well as in SMP builds. This commit therefore
adds smpboot.c to UP builds and excludes irrelevant code via #ifdef.

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.
The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.
One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.
Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.
It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.
Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.
At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.
This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)

Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.
The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit(). The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case.
"struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.
This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.
Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit(). But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().
Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock. This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING. Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.

Move the core sysctl code from kernel/sysctl.c and kernel/sysctl_check.c
into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.
Currently sysctl maintenance is hampered by the sysctl implementation
being split across 3 files with artificial layering between them.
Consolidate the entire sysctl implementation into 1 file so that
it is easier to see what is going on and hopefully allowing for
simpler maintenance.
For functions that are now only used in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c remove
their declarations from sysctl.h and make them static in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c

After commit 1eb208aea3179dd2fc0cdeea45ef869d75b4fe70, "PM: Make
CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)", the
files under kernel/power are not built unless CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is set. In particular, this causes
kernel/power/poweroff.c to be omitted, even though it should be
compiled, because CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is set.
Fix the problem by causing kernel/power/Makefile to be processed
for CONFIG_PM unset too.

During some CPU power modes entered during idle, hotplug and
suspend, peripherals located in the CPU power domain, such as
the GIC, localtimers, and VFP, may be powered down. Add a
notifier chain that allows drivers for those peripherals to
be notified before and after they may be reset.
Notified drivers can include VFP co-processor, interrupt controller
and it's PM extensions, local CPU timers context save/restore which
shouldn't be interrupted. Hence CPU PM event APIs must be called
with interrupts disabled.

In the course of testing jump labels for use with the CFS
bandwidth controller, Paul Turner, discovered that using jump
labels reduced the branch count and the instruction count, but
did not reduce the cycle count or wall time.
I noticed that having the jump_label.o included in the kernel
but not used in any way still caused this increase in cycle
count and wall time. Thus, I moved jump_label.o in the
kernel/Makefile, thus changing the link order, and presumably
moving it out of hot icache areas. This brought down the cycle
count/time as expected.
In addition to Paul's testing, I've tested the patch using a
single 'static_branch()' in the getppid() path, and basically
running tight loops of calls to getppid(). Here are my results
for the branch disabled case:
With jump labels turned on (CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL), branch disabled:

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:
* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.
This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html
The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.
This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.
Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.
Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

not equal to .config) and that config sets CONFIG_IKCONFIG then the
build will fail with:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.config', needed by \

because the kernel/Makefile contains a direct reference to .config.
This issue has been present since the introduction of KCONFIG_CONFIG

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of
preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks
list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies
processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution
to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers.
The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven
off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can
happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience.
Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as
suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering
issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183).
As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte
savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time
workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.
Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.
To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.
To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.
I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.
V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
