Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.
On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.

ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build
subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all
its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated
in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final
link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with
unresolvable relocations in the final link.
Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking.
This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information
available to it when it links the kernel.
This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which
causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o
files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached,
which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a
built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the
symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link.
The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now
has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise
just completely avoid including those without external references
(consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions
as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as
built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external
references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel
(due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and
costly because the .o files have to be searched for references.
Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead.
Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le
pseries VM with a modest .config:
inclink thinarc
sizes
vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028
sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334
sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430
find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux
real 22.772s 21.143s
user 13.280s 13.430s
sys 4.310s 2.750s
- Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how
ineffective the object file culling is.
- Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity.
On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win.
- Build size saving is significant.
Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks,
$ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with
$ size built-in.o # and their sizes
$ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames
Implementation by sfr, minor tweaks by npiggin.

Here we have another kind of deviation from the default case -
a difference between exporting functions and non-functions.
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL... is really different from EXPORT_SYMBOL...
on ia64, and we need to use the right one when moving exports
from *.c where C compiler has the required information to
*.S, where we need to supply it manually.
parisc64 will be another one like that.

Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
of those to obj-y.
That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile. Moreover, a change in
generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
on some configs. With this change we don't have to worry about
that anymore.
One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports
from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists). That's exactly what
we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing
built-in.o is used in. arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only
exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in
arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o
anymore.

Commit 4b855078601f ("KVM: nVMX: Don't advertise single
context invalidation for invept") removed advertising
single context invalidation since the spec does not mandate it.
However, some hypervisors (such as ESX) require it to be present
before willing to use ept in a nested environment. Advertise it
and fallback to the global case.

This can be reproduced steadily by kernel_irqchip=off.
We should not access preemption timer stuff if lapic is emulated in userspace.
This patch fix it by avoiding access preemption timer stuff when kernel_irqchip=off.

We need to set cpsr before determining the spsr bank, as the bank
depends on the target exception level of the injection, not the
current mode of the vcpu. Normally this is one in the same (EL1),
but not when we manage to trap an EL0 fault. It still doesn't really
matter for the 64-bit EL0 case though, as vcpu_spsr() unconditionally
uses the EL1 bank for that. However the 32-bit EL0 case gets fun, as
that path will lead to the BUG() in vcpu_spsr32().
This patch fixes the assignment order and also modifies some white
space in order to better group pairs of lines that have strict order.

This patch adds compilation and link against irqchip.
Main motivation behind using irqchip code is to enable MSI
routing code. In the future irqchip routing may also be useful
when targeting multiple irqchips.
Routing standard callbacks now are implemented in vgic-irqfd:
- kvm_set_routing_entry
- kvm_set_irq
- kvm_set_msi
They only are supported with new_vgic code.
Both HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP and HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING are defined.
KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING is advertised and KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING is allowed.
So from now on IRQCHIP routing is enabled and a routing table entry
must exist for irqfd injection to succeed for a given SPI. This patch
builds a default flat irqchip routing table (gsi=irqchip.pin) covering
all the VGIC SPI indexes. This routing table is overwritten by the
first first user-space call to KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl.
MSI routing setup is not yet allowed.

The new simplified __pvclock_read_cycles does the same computation
as vread_pvclock, except that (because it takes the pvclock_vcpu_time_info
pointer) it has to be moved inside the loop. Since the loop is expected to
never roll, this makes no difference.

The version field in struct pvclock_vcpu_time_info basically implements
a seqcount. Wrap it with the usual read_begin and read_retry functions,
and use these APIs instead of peppering the code with smp_rmb()s.
While at it, change it to the more pedantically correct virt_rmb().
With this change, __pvclock_read_cycles can be simplified noticeably.

Building an MSA capable kernel with a toolchain that supports MSA
produces warnings such as this:
CC arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:4786: Warning: the `msa' extension requires 64-bit FPRs
This is due to ".set msa" without ".set fp=64" in the inline assembly of
control register accessors, since MSA requires the 64-bit FPU registers
(FR=1). Add the missing fp=64 in these functions to silence the
warnings.

We used the hardware IRQ number to register the IRQ handler and not the
virtual one. This probably caused some problems because the hardware
IRQ numbers are only unique for each IRQ controller and not in the
system. The virtual IRQ number is managed by Linux and unique in the
system. This was probably the reason there was a gab of 8 IRQ numbers added
before the numbers used for the lantiq IRQ controller. With the current
setup the hardware and the virtual IRQ numbers are the same.

Using of_irq_count to load the irq index from the devicetree is incorrect.
This will cause the kernel to map them regardless, even if they dont
actually get used. Change the code to use of_property_count_u32_elems()
instead which is the correct API to use in this case.

At first, we prefer to use mips clockevent device, so we decrease the
rating of hpet clockevent device.
For hpet, if HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA (minimum delta of hpet programming) is
too small and HPET_MIN_CYCLES (threshold of -ETIME checking) is too
large, then hpet_next_event() can easily return -ETIME. After commit
c6eb3f70d44828 ("hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq") this will cause
a RCU stall.
So, HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA must be sufficient that we don't re-trip the
-ETIME check -- if we do, we will return -ETIME, forward the next event
time, try to set it, return -ETIME again, and basically lock the system
up. Meanwhile, HPET_MIN_CYCLES doesn't need to be too large, 16 cycles
is enough.
This solution is similar to commit f9eccf24615672 ("clocksource/drivers
/vt8500: Increase the minimum delta").
By the way, this patch ensures hpet count/compare to be 32-bit long.

Dan Carpenter reported [1] a static checker warning that ctx->offsets[]
may be accessed off by one from build_body(), since it's allocated with
fp->len * sizeof(*ctx.offsets) as length. The cBPF arm and ppc code
doesn't have this issue as claimed, so only mips seems to be affected and
should like most other JITs allocate with fp->len + 1. A few number of
JITs (x86, sparc, arm64) handle this differently, where they only require
fp->len array elements.

Use CPHYSADDR to implement the __pa macro converting from a virtual to a
physical address for MIPS32, much as is already done for MIPS64 (though
without the complication of having both compatibility & XKPHYS
segments).
This allows for __pa to work regardless of whether the address being
translated is in kseg0 or kseg1, unlike the previous subtraction based
approach which only worked for addresses in kseg0. Working for kseg1
addresses is important if __pa is used on addresses allocated by
dma_alloc_coherent, where on systems with non-coherent I/O we provide
addresses in kseg1. If this address is then used with
dma_map_single_attrs then it is provided to virt_to_page, which in turn
calls virt_to_phys which is a wrapper around __pa. The result is that we
end up with a physical address 0x20000000 bytes (ie. the size of kseg0)
too high.
In addition to providing consistency with MIPS64 & fixing the kseg1 case
above this has the added bonus of generating smaller code for systems
implementing MIPS32r2 & beyond, where a single ext instruction can
extract the physical address rather than needing to load an immediate
into a temp register & subtract it. This results in ~1.3KB savings for a
boston_defconfig kernel adjusted to set CONFIG_32BIT=y.
This patch does not change the EVA case, which may or may not have
similar issues around handling both cached & uncached addresses but is
beyond the scope of this patch.

Instead of rewriting the arguments to match the UHI spec, store the
address of a appended or UHI supplied dtb in fw_supplied_dtb.
That way the original bootloader arugments are kept intact while still
making the use of an appended dtb invisible for mach code.
Mach code can still find out if it is an appended dtb by comparing
fw_arg1 with fw_supplied_dtb.

The stack and heap have both been executable by default on MIPS until
now. This patch changes the default to be non-executable, but only for
ELF binaries with a non-executable PT_GNU_STACK header present. This
does apply to both the heap & the stack, despite the name PT_GNU_STACK,
and this matches the behaviour of other architectures like ARM & x86.
Current MIPS toolchains do not produce the PT_GNU_STACK header, which
means that we can rely upon this patch not changing the behaviour of
existing binaries. The new default will only take effect for newly
compiled binaries once toolchains are updated to support PT_GNU_STACK,
and since those binaries are newly compiled they can be compiled
expecting the change in default behaviour. Again this matches the way in
which the ARM & x86 architectures handled their implementations of
non-executable memory.

In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay
slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include:
- Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems
which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the
"nofpu" parameter.
- MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the
architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings
are no longer valid in MIPSr6.
Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the
instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and
executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire
MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to
the user stack and executed from there.
This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and
into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access
to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other
solutions is relatively simple.
When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame.
A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may
only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to
ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded
in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay
slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU
code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret
which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the
instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch.
In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a
branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break
instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed
this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any
allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an
exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed
if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is
executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit
the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC
to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal
delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a
sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had
meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within
the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code.
Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch
to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an
infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would:
- Only affect the users single process.
- Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the
delay slot, which is forbidden.
- Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program
with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop
would.
If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to
it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are
currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until
a frame is freed by another thread in the process.
Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our
tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as
we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may
only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct
emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in
struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct
emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page
allocated for them.
The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the
user stack non-executable where that is possible.
