Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Huawei reported that when they updated their kernel from 4.4 to
something much newer, some userspace code they had broke, the culprit
being the accidental removal of O_NONBLOCK from /dev/random way back
in 5.6. It's been gone for over 2 years now and this is the first
we've heard of it, but userspace breakage is userspace breakage, so
O_NONBLOCK is now back.
- Use randomness from hardware RNGs much more often during early boot,
at the same interval that crng reseeds are done, from Dominik.
- A semantic change in hardware RNG throttling, so that the hwrng
framework can properly feed random.c with randomness from hardware
RNGs that aren't specifically marked as creditable.
A related patch coming to you via Herbert's hwrng tree depends on
this one, not to compile, but just to function properly, so you may
want to merge this PULL before that one.
- A fix to clamp credited bits from the interrupts pool to the size of
the pool sample. This is mainly just a theoretical fix, as it'd be
pretty hard to exceed it in practice.
- Oracle reported that InfiniBand TCP latency regressed by around
10-15% after a change a few cycles ago made at the request of the RT
folks, in which we hoisted a somewhat rare operation (1 in 1024
times) out of the hard IRQ handler and into a workqueue, a pretty
common and boring pattern.
It turns out, though, that scheduling a worker from there has
overhead of its own, whereas scheduling a timer on that same CPU for
the next jiffy amortizes better and doesn't incur the same overhead.
I also eliminated a cache miss by moving the work_struct (and
subsequently, the timer_list) to below a critical cache line, so that
the more critical members that are accessed on every hard IRQ aren't
split between two cache lines.
- The boot-time initialization of the RNG has been split into two
approximate phases: what we can accomplish before timekeeping is
possible and what we can accomplish after.
This winds up being useful so that we can use RDRAND to seed the RNG
before CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y systems initialize slabs, in
addition to other early uses of randomness. The effect is that
systems with RDRAND (or a bootloader seed) will never see any
warnings at all when setting CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM=y. And
kfence benefits from getting a better seed of its own.
- Small systems without much entropy sometimes wind up putting some
truncated serial number read from flash into hostname, so contribute
utsname changes to the RNG, without crediting.
- Add smaller batches to serve requests for smaller integers, and make
use of them when people ask for random numbers bounded by a given
compile-time constant. This has positive effects all over the tree,
most notably in networking and kfence.
- The original jitter algorithm intended (I believe) to schedule the
timer for the next jiffy, not the next-next jiffy, yet it used
mod_timer(jiffies + 1), which will fire on the next-next jiffy,
instead of what I believe was intended, mod_timer(jiffies), which
will fire on the next jiffy. So fix that.
- Fix a comment typo, from William.

The full RNG initialization relies on some timestamps, made possible
with initialization functions like time_init() and timekeeping_init().
However, these are only available rather late in initialization.
Meanwhile, other things, such as memory allocator functions, make use of
the RNG much earlier.
So split RNG initialization into two phases. We can provide arch
randomness very early on, and then later, after timekeeping and such are
available, initialize the rest.
This ensures that, for example, slabs are properly randomized if RDRAND
is available. Without this, CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y loses a degree
of its security, because its random seed is potentially deterministic,
since it hasn't yet incorporated RDRAND. It also makes it possible to
use a better seed in kfence, which currently relies on only the cycle
counter.
Another positive consequence is that on systems with RDRAND, running
with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM=y results in no warnings at all.
One subtle side effect of this change is that on systems with no RDRAND,
RDTSC is now only queried by random_init() once, committing the moment
of the function call, instead of multiple times as before. This is
intentional, as the multiple RDTSCs in a loop before weren't
accomplishing very much, with jitter being better provided by
try_to_generate_entropy(). Plus, filling blocks with RDTSC is still
being done in extract_entropy(), which is necessarily called before
random bytes are served anyway.

Now that UTS_VERSION was separated out, this header can be generated
much earlier, and probably the top Makefile is a better place to do it
than init/Makefile.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.
When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.
However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.
To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:
[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h
include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.
[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c
init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.

Distro kernels tend to be moving to VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, and there
is not much reason why PPC64 should be special here. Remove the special
case and make the ppc64 and pseries defconfigs use GEN accounting
(others will use TICK, as-per Kconfig defaults).
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does provide scaled vtime and stolen time
apportioned between system and user time, and vtime accounting is not
unconditionally enabled, and possibly other things. But it would be
better at this point to extend GEN to cover important missing features
rather than directing users back to a less used option.

"A bumper crop of arm64 fixes for -rc3.
The largest change is fixing our parsing of the 'rodata=full' command

arm64: adjust KASLR relocation after ARCH_RANDOM removal
arm64: Fix match_list for erratum 1286807 on Arm Cortex-A76
On arm64, "rodata=full" has been suppored (but not documented) since
commit:
c55191e96c ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well")
As it's necessary to determine the rodata configuration early during
boot, arm64 has an early_param() handler for this, whereas init/main.c
has a __setup() handler which is run later.
Unfortunately, this split meant that since commit:
f9a40b0890 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")
... passing "rodata=full" would result in a spurious warning from the
__setup() handler (though RO permissions would be configured
appropriately).
Further, "rodata=full" has been broken since commit:
0d6ea3ac94 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")
... which caused strtobool() to parse "full" as false (in addition to
many other values not documented for the "rodata=" kernel parameter.
This patch fixes this breakage by:
* Moving the core parameter parser to an __early_param(), such that it
is available early.
* Adding an (optional) arch hook which arm64 can use to parse "full".
* Updating the documentation to mention that "full" is valid for arm64.
* Having the core parameter parser handle "on" and "off" explicitly,
such that any undocumented values (e.g. typos such as "ful") are
reported as errors rather than being silently accepted.
Note that __setup() and early_param() have opposite conventions for
their return values, where __setup() uses 1 to indicate a parameter was
handled and early_param() uses 0 to indicate a parameter was handled.
Fixes: f9a40b0890 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")
Fixes: 0d6ea3ac94 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms
- Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
account for both normal and expedited grace periods
- Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
system with 15,000 tasks.
The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead
- Torture-test updates
- Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
context independently of RCU.
This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is required for kernel live patching which is a
common use case that is enabled in some major distros. Update the
Kconfig help text to reflect that.
While at it, s/e.g./i.e./ to match the text intention.

The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down
to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully
unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width.
This patch is effectively a revert of
commit 15f5db60a1 ("kbuild,arc: add
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding
ARCH_CFLAGS
Ever since
commit cfdbc2e16e ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker
script")
ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not
specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not
re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile.
Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that
matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make:
$ make KCFLAGS=-O3
Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should
provide:
1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable
userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that
would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`.
2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after.
3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.

3942a9bd7b ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.
