Memory sections are combined into "memory block" chunks. These chunks
are the units upon which memory can be added and removed.
On x86, the new memory may be added after the end of the boot memory,
therefore, if block size does not align with end of boot memory, memory
hot-plugging/hot-removing can be broken.
Memory sections are combined into "memory block" chunks. These chunks
are the units upon which memory can be added and removed.
On x86 the new memory may be added after the end of the boot memory,
therefore, if block size does not align with end of boot memory, memory
hotplugging/hotremoving can be broken.
Currently, whenever machine is booted with more than 64G the block size
is unconditionally increased to 2G from the base 128M. This is done in
order to reduce number of memory device files in sysfs:
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX
We must use the largest allowed block size that aligns to the next
address to be able to hotplug the next block of memory.
So, when memory is larger or equal to 64G, we check the end address and
find the largest block size that is still power of two but smaller or
equal to 2G.
Before, the fix:
Run qemu with:
-m 64G,slots=2,maxmem=66G -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=2G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
Block size [0x80000000] unaligned hotplug range: start 0x1040000000,
size 0x80000000
acpi PNP0C80:00: add_memory failed
acpi PNP0C80:00: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
acpi PNP0C80:00: Enumeration failure
With the fix memory is added successfully as the block size is set to
1G, and therefore aligns with start address 0x1040000000.

alloc_contig_range() initiates compaction and eventual migration for the
purpose of either CMA or HugeTLB allocations. At present, the reason
code remains the same MR_CMA for either of these cases. Let's make it
MR_CONTIG_RANGE which will appropriately reflect the reason code in both
these cases.

Calling __stack_chk_guard_setup() in decompress_kernel() is too late
that stack checking always fails for decompress_kernel() itself. So
remove __stack_chk_guard_setup() and initialize __stack_chk_guard before
we call decompress_kernel().
Original code comes from ARM but also used for MIPS and SH, so fix them
together. If without this fix, compressed booting of these archs will
fail because stack checking is enabled by default (>=4.16).

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of Staging/IIO driver patches for 4.17-rc1.
It is a lot, over 500 changes, but not huge by previous kernel release
standards. We deleted more lines than we added again (27k added vs.
91k remvoed), thanks to finally being able to delete the IRDA drivers
and networking code.
We also deleted the ccree crypto driver, but that's coming back in
through the crypto tree to you, in a much cleaned-up form.
Added this round is at lot of "mt7621" device support, which is for an
embedded device that Neil Brown cares about, and of course a handful
of new IIO drivers as well.
And finally, the fsl-mc core code moved out of the staging tree to the
"real" part of the kernel, which is nice to see happen as well.

patches described.

model draft.
- Our module loading support has been cleaned up and is now enabled

The device tree code looks for CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE, but we were using
CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE. It looks like this was just a hold over from
before our device tree conversion -- in fact, we'd already removed the
support for CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE from our arch-specific code so it
didn't even work any more.
Thanks to Mortiz and Trung for finding the original bug, and for Michael
for suggeting a better fix.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

This cleans up the module support that was commited earlier to work with
what's actually emitted from our GCC port as it lands upstream. Most of
the work here is adding new relocations to the kernel.
There's some limitations on module loading imposed by the kernel:
* The kernel doesn't support linker relaxation, which is necessary to
support R_RISCV_ALIGN. In order to get reliable module building
you're going to need to a GCC that supports the new '-mno-relax',
which IIRC isn't going to be out until 8.1.0. It's somewhat unlikely
that R_RISCV_ALIGN will appear in a module even without '-mno-relax'
support, so issues shouldn't be common.
* There is no large code model for RISC-V, which means modules must be
loaded within a 32-bit signed offset of the kernel. We don't
currently have any mechanism for ensuring this memory remains free or
moving pages around, so issues here might be common.
I fixed a singcle merge conflict in arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile.
|
|
These fixes fall into three categories
* The definiton of __smp_{store_release,load_acquire}, which allow us to
emit a full fence when unnecessary.
* Fixes to avoid relying on the behavior of "*.aqrl" atomics, as those
are specified in the currently released RISC-V memory model draft in
a way that makes them useless for Linux. This might change in the
future, but now the code matches the memory model spec as it's written
so at least we're getting closer to something sane. The actual fix is
to delete the RISC-V specific atomics and drop back to generic
versions that use the new fences from above.
* Cleanups to our atomic macros, which are mostly non-functional
changes.
Unfortunately I haven't given these as thorough of a testing as I
probably should have, but I've poked through the code and they seem
generally OK.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"
