f1cb637e75 init/Kconfig: add clarification for out-of-tree modules
It doesn't trim just symbols that are totally unused in-tree - it trims
the symbols unused by any in-tree modules actually built.  If you've
done a 'make localmodconfig' and only build a hundred or so modules,
it's pretty likely that your out-of-tree module will come up lacking
something...

Hopefully this will save the next guy from a Homer Simpson "D'oh!"
moment.

ac3339baff init/Kconfig: ban CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO with allmodconfig
Doing patches with allmodconfig kernel compiled and committing stuff
into local tree have unfortunate consequence: kernel version changes (as
it should) leading to recompiling and relinking of several files even if
they weren't touched (or interesting at all).  This and "git-whatever"
figuring out current version slow down compilation for no good reason.

But lets face it, "allmodconfig" kernels don't care about kernel
version, they are simply compile check guinea pigs.

Make LOCALVERSION_AUTO depend on !COMPILE_TEST, so it doesn't sneak into
allmodconfig .config.

841c06d71e init: allow blacklisting of module_init functions
sprint_symbol_no_offset() returns the string "function_name
[module_name]" where [module_name] is not printed for built in kernel
functions.  This means that the blacklisting code will fail when
comparing module function names with the extended string.

This patch adds the functionality to block a module's module_init()
function by finding the space in the string and truncating the
comparison to that length.

bd721ea73e treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref
There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

bc083a64b6 init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML
UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma.  That means a
lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM.
s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is
the only stranger.

We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window
just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds.  One could argue that a
decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing
HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug.  But the dependency not
obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when
developing a device driver.

A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be
providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon
runtime.  Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML.  Since
it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support
let's do the latter.

210e7a43fa mm: SLUB freelist randomization
Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator.  It was
previous implemented for the SLAB allocator.  Both use the same
configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM).

The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages.  The
order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for
performance.  Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist.

This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB
allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable.

For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap:
 - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU)
 - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95)

Performance results:

slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts
without smp.  It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall
impact on the system is way lower.

b58c358405 sched/cputime: Replace VTIME_GEN irq time code with IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code
The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.

On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is
done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU.

On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a
while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This
can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use
the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.

Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

b235beea9e Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators
We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
from the task struct), but that is about to change.

But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
freeing functions are.

Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical.  That
identity then meant that we would have things like

	ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
	...
	tsk->stack = ti;

which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
just gets to be entirely bogus.

So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
about the stack.  The fact that the thread_info then shares the
allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
allocation itself.

This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
just that we clarify what the pointer means.

The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
doesn't matter.  It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
type change.

fe53ca5427 mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init
page_ext_init() checks suitable pages with pfn_to_nid(), but
pfn_to_nid() depends on memmap which will not be setup fully until
page_alloc_init_late() is done.  Use early_pfn_to_nid() instead of
pfn_to_nid() so that page extension could be still used early even
though CONFIG_ DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled and catch early page
allocation call sites.

Suggested by Joonsoo Kim [1], this fix basically undoes the change
introduced by commit b8f1a75d61 ("mm: call page_ext_init() after all
struct pages are initialized") and fixes the same problem with a better
approach.

c8cdd2be21 init/main.c: simplify initcall_blacklisted()
Using kasprintf to get the function name makes us look up the name
twice, along with all the vsnprintf overhead of parsing the format
string etc.  It also means there is an allocation failure case to deal
with.  Since symbol_string in vsprintf.c would anyway allocate an array
of size KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN on the stack, that might as well be done up
here.

Moreover, since this is a debug feature and the blacklisted_initcalls
list is usually empty, we might as well test that and thus avoid looking
up the symbol name even once in the common case.

427934b871 printk/nmi: increase the size of NMI buffer and make it configurable
Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB
temporary buffer that is used in NMI context.  The warnings are gone
when I double the temporary buffer size.

This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable.

Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation
that was added by the commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI
stack trace on all CPUs").  Nobody noticed it because it did not print
any warnings.

42a0bb3f71 printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.

The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").

The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).

Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.

This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.

The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.

__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.

We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.

The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.

The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
handling there first.  Let's do it separately.

The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327

b8f1a75d61 mm: call page_ext_init() after all struct pages are initialized
When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, just a subset of memmap at
boot are initialized, then the rest are initialized in parallel by
starting one-off "pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X.

If page_ext_init is called before it, some pages will not have valid
extension, this may lead the below kernel oops when booting up kernel:

c7ce4f60ac mm: SLAB freelist randomization
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize
the SLAB freelist.  The list is randomized during initialization of a
new set of pages.  The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed
at boot for performance.  Each kmem_cache has its own randomized
freelist.  Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are
generated dynamically.  This security feature reduces the predictability
of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks
much less stable.

For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB)
would be affected:

  https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/

Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB.  It
means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly
discussed.  A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple
use-after-free.  This feature makes this type of attack harder too.

To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of
entropy is available in the boot stage.  In the worse case this function
will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API.  We also generate a shift
random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.

The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will
be extended to other allocators like SLUB.

Performance results highlighted no major changes:

Hackbench (running 90 10 times):

  Before average: 0.0698
  After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%)

slab_test 1 run on boot.  Difference only seen on the 2048 size test
being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization.  New
slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.
Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few
allocations.

877417e6ff Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disables the often useful -Wmaybe-unused warning,
because that causes a ridiculous amount of false positives when combined
with -Os.

This means a lot of warnings don't show up in testing by the developers
that should see them with an 'allmodconfig' kernel that has
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled, but only later in randconfig builds
that don't.

This changes the Kconfig logic around CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE to make
it a 'choice' statement defaulting to CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE
that gets added for this purpose. The allmodconfig and allyesconfig
kernels now default to -O2 with the maybe-unused warning enabled.

f76be61755 Make CONFIG_FHANDLE default y
Newer Fedora and OpenSUSE didn't boot with my standard configuration.
It took me some time to figure out why, in fact I had to write a script
to try different config options systematically.

The problem is that something (systemd) in dracut depends on
CONFIG_FHANDLE, which adds open by file handle syscalls.

While it is set in defconfigs it is very easy to miss when updating
older configs because it is not default y.

Make it default y and also depend on EXPERT, as dracut use is likely
widespread.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1.  No userland visible behavior changes in
  this pull request.  I'll send out a separate pull request for the
  addition of cgroup namespace support.

   - The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
     and controller handling logic.  There are quite a few places where
     controllers and tasks are manipulated.  Previously, many of those
     places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
     assuming specific starting conditions.  While this worked, it makes
     the code fragile and difficult to follow.

     The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
     most related operations are performed through common helpers which
     implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
     and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
     state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
     conditions).  This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
     verify and extend.

   - Implicit controller support is added.  This is primarily for using
     perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
     path without requiring the user to do anything special.  The kernel
     portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
     still pending review.

   - cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
     certain environments.

   - There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
     attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
     management.  This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
     pull request w/ stable cc'd.

2213e9a66b kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address table
Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.

On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits.  This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average.  In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values.  This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64.  Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.

Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.

Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

4d5d5664c9 x86: kallsyms: disable absolute percpu symbols on !SMP
scripts/kallsyms.c has a special --absolute-percpu command line option
which deals with the zero based per cpu offsets that are used when
building for SMP on x86_64.  This means that the option should only be
passed in that case, so add a Kconfig symbol with the correct predicate,
and use that instead.

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

   - Initial implementation of the state machine

   - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
     not on some random processor

   - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

   - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
 "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

   - Asymmetry

     The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
     teardown.  This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

   - Largely undocumented dependencies

     While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
     we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
     express dependencies without any documentation why.

   - Control processor driven

     Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
     processor.  While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
     like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
     of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
     there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
     processor.  Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

       bring the rest up

   - All or nothing approach

     There is no way to do partial bringups.  That's something which is
     really desired because we waste e.g.  at boot substantial amount of
     time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life.  That's stupid
     as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
     other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
     synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

   - Minimal debuggability

     Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
     two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
     the correctness.  So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
     mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

   - Notifier [un]registering is tedious

     To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
     every callsite.  There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
     callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
     do it itself.  That also includes error rollback.

  What's the new design?

     The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
     the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
     defined set of states.  Each state is symmetric in the end, except
     for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
     stopped and reversed at almost all states.

     So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

                                       bring itself up

     The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
     That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
     other mechanism.

     The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
     up and brings itself down.  Cleanups which need to be done after
     the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

  There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
  cpu is available.  Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
  out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

  The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
  threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
  cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
  general workloads can be scheduled on it.  The reverse happens on
  teardown.  First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
  workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
  off completely.

  This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
  core level.  This includes the following:

   - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
     ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

   - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

     This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
     the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
     the state machine array.

     For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
     a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
     explicit hotplug state.

     If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
     previous state.

   - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

     This is only partially functional today.  Full functionality and
     therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
     existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

   - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
     processor:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
       wait for boot
                                       bring itself up

                                       Signal completion to control cpu

     In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
     conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme.  The balance
     is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

     This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
     different approach.  Instead of mechanically converting everything
     over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
     they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

     I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
     converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
     completely buggered anyway.  So there is no point to do a
     mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
     sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
     testable behaviour"

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
  handling of read-only kernel memory:

   - extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
     kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
     attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.

     This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
     per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
     after that point.

     This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.

     (by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)

   - make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
     Kconfig option.  This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
     read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

d43de6c780 akcipher: Move the RSA DER encoding check to the crypto layer
Move the RSA EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding from the asymmetric-key public_key
subtype to the rsa crypto module's pkcs1pad template.  This means that the
public_key subtype no longer has any dependencies on public key type.

To make this work, the following changes have been made:

 (1) The rsa pkcs1pad template is now used for RSA keys.  This strips off the
     padding and returns just the message hash.

 (2) In a previous patch, the pkcs1pad template gained an optional second
     parameter that, if given, specifies the hash used.  We now give this,
     and pkcs1pad checks the encoded message E(M) for the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5
     encoding and verifies that the correct digest OID is present.

 (3) The crypto driver in crypto/asymmetric_keys/rsa.c is now reduced to
     something that doesn't care about what the encryption actually does
     and and has been merged into public_key.c.

 (4) CONFIG_PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA is gone.  Module signing must set
     CONFIG_CRYPTO_RSA=y instead.

Thoughts:

 (*) Should the encoding style (eg. raw, EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5) also be passed to
     the padding template?  Should there be multiple padding templates
     registered that share most of the code?

d2aa1acad2 mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings
It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.

This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

0cbeafb245 Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:

 - more MM stuff:

    - Kirill's page-flags rework

    - Kirill's now-allegedly-fixed THP rework

    - MADV_FREE implementation

    - DAX feature work (msync/fsync).  This isn't quite complete but DAX
      is new and it's good enough and the guys have a handle on what
      needs to be done - I expect this to be wrapped in the next week or
      two.

  - some vsprintf maintenance work

  - various other misc bits

e535d74bc5 A relatively boring cycle in the docs tree. There's a few kernel-doc
fixes and various document tweaks.
 
 One patch reaches out of the documentation subtree to fix a comment in
 init/do_mounts_rd.c.  There didn't seem to be anybody more appropriate to
 take that one, so I accepted it.

b2113a417c uselib: default depending if libc5 was used
uselib hasn't been used since libc5; glibc does not use it.  Deprecate
uselib a bit more, by making the default y only if libc5 was widely used
on the plaform.

This makes arm64 kernel built with defconfig slightly smaller
