| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using ASSERT() with an expression that involves a symbol that is only supplied through a PROVIDE() definition in the linker script itself is apparently not supported by some older versions of binutils. So instead, rewrite the expression so that only the section boundaries __hyp_idmap_text_start and __hyp_idmap_text_end are used. Note that this reverts the fix in 06f75a1f6200 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page") for the ASSERT() being triggered erroneously when unrelated linker emitted veneers happen to end up in the HYP idmap region.

| * ARM: kvm: implement replacement for ld's LOG2CEIL()Ard Biesheuvel2015-03-231-2/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 06f75a1f6200 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page") uses ld's builtin function LOG2CEIL() to align the KVM init code to a log2 upper bound of its size. However, this function turns out to be a fairly recent addition to binutils, which breaks the build for older toolchains. So instead, implement a replacement LOG2_ROUNDUP() using the C preprocessor.

| * ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce pageArd Biesheuvel2015-03-191-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HYP init bounce page is a runtime construct that ensures that the HYP init code does not cross a page boundary. However, this is something we can do perfectly well at build time, by aligning the code appropriately. For arm64, we just align to 4 KB, and enforce that the code size is less than 4 KB, regardless of the chosen page size. For ARM, the whole code is less than 256 bytes, so we tweak the linker script to align at a power of 2 upper bound of the code size Note that this also fixes a benign off-by-one error in the original bounce page code, where a bounce page would be allocated unnecessarily if the code was exactly 1 page in size. On ARM, it also fixes an issue with very large kernels reported by Arnd Bergmann, where stub sections with linker emitted veneers could erroneously trigger the size/alignment ASSERT() in the linker script.

* ARM: 7428/1: Prevent KALLSYM size mismatch on ARM.David Brown2012-06-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error: Inconsistent kallsyms data This is a bug - please report about it Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker. The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols included. Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same result. On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty. Depending on the where the alignment ends up, it can come out as either: +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ or +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* no padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ if the alignment satisfies both. Because symbols that have the same address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different order than the first case. This changes the compression, changing the size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure. The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still possible to have the alignment change between the second and third pass. It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint. The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty, and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the text segments). Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on SMP, when it is not empty. Signed-off-by: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary. Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry structures contain only a pair of unsigned longs, so 4-byte alignment is all that is required. If the table was walked from start to end, cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a binary search is used, the access pattern is random and will not benefit from a stricter alignment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When disabling and re-enabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out an identity mapping for the code that manipulates the SCTLR in order to avoid it disappearing from under our feet. This is useful when soft rebooting and returning from CPU suspend. This patch allocates a set of page tables during boot and populates them with an identity mapping for the .idmap.text section. This means that users of the identity map do not need to manage their own pgd and can instead annotate their functions with __idmap or, in the case of assembly code, place them in the correct section.

* | ARM: fix vmlinux.lds.S discarding sectionsRussell King2011-09-201-3/+12

The result is (eg): `.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o `.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of net/built-in.o This is the relevent part of the linker script (reformatted to make it clearer): | SECTIONS | { | /* | * unwind exit sections must be discarded before the rest of the | * unwind sections get included. | */ | /DISCARD/ : { | *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) | *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) | } | ... | .exit.text : { | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | } | ... | /DISCARD/ : { | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | *(.exit.data) | *(.memexit.data) | *(.memexit.rodata) | *(.exitcall.exit) | *(.discard) | *(.discard.*) | } | } Now, this is what the linker manual says about discarded output sections: | The special output section name `/DISCARD/' may be used to discard | input sections. Any input sections which are assigned to an output | section named `/DISCARD/' are not included in the output file. No questions, no exceptions. It doesn't say "unless they are listed before the /DISCARD/ section." Now, this is what asn-generic/vmlinux.lds.S says: | /* | * Default discarded sections. | * | * Some archs want to discard exit text/data at runtime rather than | * link time due to cross-section references such as alt instructions, | * bug table, eh_frame, etc. DISCARDS must be the last of output | * section definitions so that such archs put those in earlier section | * definitions. | */ And guess what - the list _always_ includes .exit.text etc. Now, what's actually happening is that the linker is reading the script, and it finds the first /DISCARD/ output section at the beginning of the script. It continues reading the script, and finds the 'DISCARD' macro at the end, which having been postprocessed results in another /DISCARD/ output section. As the linker already contains the earlier /DISCARD/ output section, it adds it to that existing section, so it effectively is placed at the start. This can be seen by using the -M option to ld: | Linker script and memory map | | 0xc037c080 jiffies = jiffies_64 | | /DISCARD/ | *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) | *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | *(.exit.data) | *(.memexit.data) | *(.memexit.rodata) | *(.exitcall.exit) | *(.discard) | *(.discard.*) | | 0xc0008000 . = 0xc0008000 | | .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0 | 0xc0008000 _text = . | *(.head.text) | .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0 arch/arm/kernel/head.o | 0xc0008000 stext | | .text 0xc0008200 0x2d78d0 | 0xc0008200 _stext = . | 0xc0008200 __exception_text_start = . | *(.exception.text) | .exception.text | ... As you can see, all the discarded sections are grouped together - and as a result of it being the first output section, they all appear before any other section. The result is that not only is the unwind information discarded (as intended), but also the .exit.text, despite us wanting to have the .exit.text preserved. We can't move the unwind information elsewhere, because it'll then be included even when we do actually discard the .exit.text (and similar) sections. So, work around this by avoiding the generic DISCARDS macro, and instead conditionalize the sections to be discarded ourselves. This avoids the ambiguity in how the linker assigns input sections to output sections, making our script less dependent on undocumented linker behaviour.

* percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZETejun Heo2011-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us to achieve this with minimal loss of performance. As many translations are of the form: physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub' instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this constant into the above add/sub instructions. Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use. At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a constant which will not fit in our math instruction. Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent incompatible modules being loaded.

ARM one does, but for some reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it explicitly. The 1e621a8e3752367d4aae78a8ab00a18fb2793f34 worked around the problem removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options, but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf. This problem was discussed here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial. This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have, so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite parts of the kernel. Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions, thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition" changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM. I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes for ARM. These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case. "ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion." Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated an identical vmlinux file. [I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition. I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux, _and discard the original unsorted tables_. This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.] Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by-without-testing: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
