This reverts commit 14775b04964264189caa4a0862eac05dab8c0502 as there
were still some parsing problems with it, and the follow-on patch for
it.
Let's revisit it later, just drop it for now.

On non-EFI systems, it wasn't possible to test the platform firmware
loader because it will have never set "checked_fw" during __init.
Instead, allow the test code to override this check. Additionally split
the declarations into a private symbol namespace so there is greater
enforcement of the symbol visibility.

__kobject_del() is called from two places, in one where kobj is dereferenced
before and thus can't be NULL, and in the other the NULL check is done before

commit 14775b049642 ("dyndbg: accept query terms like file=bar and
module=foo") added the combined keyword=value parsing poorly; revert
most of it, keeping the keyword & arg change.
Instead, fix the tokenizer for the new input, by terminating the
keyword (an unquoted word) on '=' as well as space, thus letting the
tokenizer work on the quoted argument, like it would have previously.
Also add a few debug-prints to show more parsing context, into
tokenizer and parse-query, and use "keyword, value" in others.

commit 4c0d77828d4f ("dyndbg: export ddebug_exec_queries") had a few
problems:
- broken non DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE configs, sparse warning
- the exported function modifies query string, breaks on RO strings.
- func name follows internal convention, shouldn't be exposed as is.
1st is fixed in header with ifdefd function prototype or stub defn.
Also remove an obsolete HAVE-symbol ifdef-comment, and add others.
Fix others by wrapping existing internal function with a new one,
named in accordance with module-prefix naming convention, before
export hits v5.9.0. In new function, copy query string to a local
buffer, so users can pass hard-coded/RO queries, and internal function
can be used unchanged.

gcc can transform the loop in a naive implementation of memset/memcpy
etc into a call to the function itself. This optimization is enabled by
-ftree-loop-distribute-patterns.
This has been the case for a while, but gcc-10.x enables this option at
-O2 rather than -O3 as in previous versions.
Add -ffreestanding, which implicitly disables this optimization with
gcc. It is unclear whether clang performs such optimizations, but
hopefully it will also not do so in a freestanding environment.

Patch series "iomap: Constify ioreadX() iomem argument", v3.
The ioread8/16/32() and others have inconsistent interface among the
architectures: some taking address as const, some not.
It seems there is nothing really stopping all of them to take pointer to
const.
This patch (of 4):
The ioreadX() and ioreadX_rep() helpers have inconsistent interface. On
some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const,
on some not.
Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.

This patch replaces all memcpy() calls with LZ4_memcpy() which calls
__builtin_memcpy() so the compiler can inline it.
LZ4 relies heavily on memcpy() with a constant size being inlined. In x86
and i386 pre-boot environments memcpy() cannot be inlined because memcpy()
doesn't get defined as __builtin_memcpy().
An equivalent patch has been applied upstream so that the next import
won't lose this change [1].
I've measured the kernel decompression speed using QEMU before and after
this patch for the x86_64 and i386 architectures. The speed-up is about
10x as shown below.
Code Arch Kernel Size Time Speed
v5.8 x86_64 11504832 B 148 ms 79 MB/s
patch x86_64 11503872 B 13 ms 885 MB/s
v5.8 i386 9621216 B 91 ms 106 MB/s
patch i386 9620224 B 10 ms 962 MB/s
I also measured the time to decompress the initramfs on x86_64, i386, and
arm. All three show the same decompression speed before and after, as
expected.

Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates:
- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the
counter read function when time namespace support is enabled.
Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because
the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in
the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar
problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet
enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another
sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is
to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The
core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize
against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It
now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which
defaults to an empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support
to work from a common upstream base.
- A trivial comment fix"

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions. Both of these
terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different
behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are
cases where they have benefits over kstrto*().
Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to
simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions reference the simple_strtoull
function by "used as a replacement for [the obsolete] simple_strtoull".
All these functions describes themselves as replacements for the function
simple_strtoull, even though a function like kstrtol() would be more aptly
described as a replacement of simple_strtol().
Fix these references by making the documentation of kstrto*() reference
the closest simple_strto*() equivalent available. The functions
kstrto[u]int() do not have direct simple_strto[u]int() equivalences, so
these are made to refer to simple_strto[u]l() instead.
Furthermore, add parentheses after function names, as is standard in
kernel documentation.

Since filp_open() returns an error pointer, we should use IS_ERR() to
check the return value and then return PTR_ERR() if failed to get the
actual return value instead of always -EINVAL.
E.g. without this patch:

Currently, the bitops test consists of two parts: one part is executed
during module load, the second part during module unload. This is
cumbersome for the user, as he has to perform two steps to execute all
tests, and is different from most (all?) other tests.
Merge the two parts, so both are executed during module load.

Patch series "lib: Fix bitmap_cut() for overlaps, add test"
This patch (of 2):
Yury Norov reports that bitmap_cut() will not produce the right outcome if
src and dst partially overlap, with src pointing at some location after
dst, because the memmove() affects src before we store the bits that we
need to keep, that is, the bits preceding the cut -- as long as we the
beginning of the cut is not aligned to a long.
Fix this by storing those bits before the memmove().
Note that this is just a theoretical concern so far, as the only user of
this function, pipapo_drop() from the nftables set back-end implemented in
net/netfilter/nft_set_pipapo.c, always supplies entirely overlapping src
and dst.

Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or
improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit
commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt
the test itself is wrong.
Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the
alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked
together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains.
gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with
that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like
[1][2][3].
Add this option so that developers and 0day can easily find performance
bump caused by text alignment change, as tracking these strange bump is
quite time consuming. Though it can't help in other cases like data
alignment changes like [4].
Following is some size data for v5.7 kernel built with a RHEL config used
in 0day:
text data bss dec filename
19738771 13292906 5554236 38585913 vmlinux.noalign
19758591 13297002 5529660 38585253 vmlinux.align32
Raw vmlinux size in bytes:
v5.7 v5.7+align32
253950832 254018000 +0.02%
Some benchmark data, most of them have no big change:

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of
commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions").
Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in
the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit
description did not explicitly mention this).
However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot.
Re-add them to ftrace.
Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.
Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.
Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.
The add/remove order works as follows:
[1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally
[2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile
[3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile (New feature)
[4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file.
[5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file.
Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.
For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o
The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.
Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.
The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/
arch/powerpc/xmon/
arch/sh/
kernel/trace/
However, lib/ has several sub-directories.
To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:
lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build
I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
that interrupted other ring buffer events.
Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.
Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
while interrupting another event.
- Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
default config, but then add options to override the default.
- A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the
ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
be backported.
- Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.

We use tag-based KASAN, then KASAN unit tests don't detect out-of-bounds
memory access. They need to be fixed.
With tag-based KASAN, the state of each 16 aligned bytes of memory is
encoded in one shadow byte and the shadow value is tag of pointer, so
we need to read next shadow byte, the shadow value is not equal to tag
value of pointer, so that tag-based KASAN will detect out-of-bounds
memory access.

percpu_counter's accuracy is related to its batch size. For a
percpu_counter with a big batch, its deviation could be big, so when the
counter's batch is runtime changed to a smaller value for better accuracy,
there could also be requirment to reduce the big deviation.
So add a percpu-counter sync function to be run on each CPU.

As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed - |
