* init: allow initcall tables to be emitted using relative referencesArd Biesheuvel2018-08-221-11/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the initcall tables to be emitted using relative references that are only half the size on 64-bit architectures and don't require fixups at runtime on relocatable kernels.

* | License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* ftrace: Allow for function tracing to record init functions on boot upSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-03-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer exists. Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as modules require different work for freeing its init code.

* module: extend 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to module mappingsAKASHI Takahiro2016-11-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current "rodata=off" parameter disables read-only kernel mappings under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA: commit d2aa1acad22f ("mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings") This patch is a logical extension to module mappings ie. read-only mappings at module loading can be disabled even if CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX (mainly for debug use). Please note, however, that it only affects RO/RW permissions, keeping NX set. This is the first step to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX mandatory (always-on) in the future as CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on x86 and arm64.

The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modular users will always be users of init functionality, but users of init functionality are not necessarily always modules. Hence any functionality like module_init and module_exit would be more at home in the module.h file. And module.h should explicitly include init.h to make the dependency clear. We've already done all the legwork needed to ensure that this move does not cause any build regressions due to implicit header file include assumptions about where module_init lives.

* init.h: Update initcall_sync variants to fix build errorsTony Lindgren2014-05-271-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are getting randconfig build errors on device drivers with tristate Kconfig option if they are using custom initcall levels. Rather than add ifdeffery into the drivers, let's add the missing initcall_sync variants. As the comment in init.h has kept people from updating the list of initcalls that can be just module_init when the driver is loaded as a loadable module, let's also update the comment a bit to describe valid use cases custom initcall levels. While most drivers should nowadays use just regular module_init because of the deferred probe, we do have quite a few custom initcall levels left that we cannot remove until tested properly. There are also still few valid cases where a custom initcall level might make sense that I'm aware of. For example a bus snooping driver can provide information about invalid bus access and is handy loader early when built in. But there's no hard dependency to have it necessarily built in and a loadable module is a valid option. Another example is a driver implementing a Linux framework like pinctrl framework. That driver may be needed early on some platforms because of legacy reasons, while it can be just a regular module_init on most platforms.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work around a LTO gcc problem: when there is no reference to a variable in a module it will be moved to the end of the program. This causes reordering of initcalls which the kernel does not like. Add a dummy reference function to avoid this. The function is deleted by the linker. This replaces a previous much slower workaround. Thanks to Jan "Honza" Hubička for suggesting this technique.

* init.h: remove __cpuinit sections from the kernelPaul Gortmaker2013-06-261-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. As an interim step, we can dummy out the macros to be no-ops, and this will allow us to avoid a giant tree-wide patch, and instead we can feed in smaller chunks mainly via the arch/ trees. This is in keeping with commit 78d86c213f28193082b5d8a1a424044b7ba406f1 ("init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel") We don't strictly need to dummy out the macros to do this, but if we don't then some harmless section mismatch warnings may temporarily result. For example, notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit. And hence the calling functions in the arch specific code are also expected to be __cpuinit -- if not, then we get the section mismatch warning. Two of the three __CPUINIT variants are not used whatsoever, and so they are simply removed directly at this point in time.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections.

* Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm2009-04-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

| * ftrace: remove old pointers to mcountSteven Rostedt2008-10-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a mcount pointer is recorded into a table, it is used to add or remove calls to mcount (replacing them with nops). If the code is removed via removing a module, the pointers still exist. At modifying the code a check is always made to make sure the code being replaced is the code expected. In-other-words, the code being replaced is compared to what it is expected to be before being replaced. There is a very small chance that the code being replaced just happens to look like code that calls mcount (very small since the call to mcount is relative). To remove this chance, this patch adds ftrace_release to allow module unloading to remove the pointers to mcount within the module. Another change for init calls is made to not trace calls marked with __init. The tracing can not be started until after init is done anyway.
