Sections .text..refcount were previously used to hold an error path code
for fast refcount overflow protection on x86, see commit 7a46ec0e2f
("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow
protection") and commit 564c9cc84e ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Use
unique .text section for refcount exceptions").
The code was replaced and removed in commit fb041bb7c0
("locking/refcount: Consolidate implementations of refcount_t") and no
sections .text..refcount are present since then.
Remove then a relic referencing these sections from TEXT_TEXT to avoid
confusing people, like me. This is a non-functional change.

Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says:
When trying to run linux with various opensource riscv core on
resource limited FPGA platforms, for example, those FPGAs with less
than 16MB SDRAM, I want to save mem as much as possible. One of the
major technologies is kernel size optimizations, I found that riscv
does not currently support HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which
passes -fdata-sections, -ffunction-sections to CFLAGS and passes the
--gc-sections flag to the linker.
This not only benefits my case on FPGA but also benefits defconfigs.
Here are some notable improvements from enabling this with defconfigs:

fragility & bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
types.

"Initialize FPU late.
Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
alternatives are patched.
That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
name suggests.
So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes
it clear what this is about.
Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
know the FPU register buffer size.
With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile

With the previous refactoring, you can always use EXPORT_SYMBOL*.
Replace two instances in ia64, then remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL*.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
Commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") made modpost output CRCs in the same way
whether the EXPORT_SYMBOL() is placed in *.c or *.S.
For further cleanups, this commit applies a similar approach to the
entire data structure of EXPORT_SYMBOL().
The EXPORT_SYMBOL() compilation is split into two stages.
When a source file is compiled, EXPORT_SYMBOL() will be converted into
a dummy symbol in the .export_symbol section.
For example,
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(bar, BAR_NAMESPACE);
will be encoded into the following assembly code:
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_foo:
.asciz "" /* license */
.asciz "" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad foo /* symbol reference */
.previous
.section ".export_symbol","a"
__export_symbol_bar:
.asciz "GPL" /* license */
.asciz "BAR_NAMESPACE" /* name space */
.balign 8
.quad bar /* symbol reference */
.previous
They are mere markers to tell modpost the name, license, and namespace
of the symbols. They will be dropped from the final vmlinux and modules
because the *(.export_symbol) will go into /DISCARD/ in the linker script.
Then, modpost extracts all the information about EXPORT_SYMBOL() from the
.export_symbol section, and generates the final C code:
KSYMTAB_FUNC(foo, "", "");
KSYMTAB_FUNC(bar, "_gpl", "BAR_NAMESPACE");
KSYMTAB_FUNC() (or KSYMTAB_DATA() if it is data) is expanded to struct
kernel_symbol that will be linked to the vmlinux or a module.
With this change, EXPORT_SYMBOL() works in the same way for *.c and *.S
files, providing the following benefits.
[1] Deprecate EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
In the old days, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was only available in C files. To export
a symbol in *.S, EXPORT_SYMBOL() was placed in a separate *.c file.
arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c is one example written in the classic manner.
Commit 22823ab419 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") removed this limitation.
Since then, EXPORT_SYMBOL() can be placed close to the symbol definition
in *.S files. It was a nice improvement.
However, as that commit mentioned, you need to use EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL()
for data objects on some architectures.
In the new approach, modpost checks symbol's type (STT_FUNC or not),
and outputs KSYMTAB_FUNC() or KSYMTAB_DATA() accordingly.
There are only two users of EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL:
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL_GPL(empty_zero_page) (arch/ia64/kernel/head.S)
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(ia64_ivt) (arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S)
They are transformed as follows and output into .vmlinux.export.c
KSYMTAB_DATA(empty_zero_page, "_gpl", "");
KSYMTAB_DATA(ia64_ivt, "", "");
The other EXPORT_SYMBOL users in ia64 assembly are output as
KSYMTAB_FUNC().
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL() is now deprecated.
[2] merge <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h>
There are two similar header implementations:
include/linux/export.h for .c files
include/asm-generic/export.h for .S files
Ideally, the functionality should be consistent between them, but they
tend to diverge.
Commit 8651ec01da ("module: add support for symbol namespaces.") did
not support the namespace for *.S files.
This commit shifts the essential implementation part to C, which supports
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() for *.S files.
<asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will remain as a wrapper of
<linux/export.h> for a while.
They will be removed after #include <asm/export.h> directives are all
replaced with #include <linux/export.h>.
[3] Implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass algorithm (by a later commit)
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.
We can do this better now; modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries
that are really used by modules.

metadata") and fb799447ae ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

After commit c5c0ba953b ("percpu: Add {raw,this}_cpu_try_cmpxchg()"),
clang built ARCH=arm and ARCH=arm64 kernels with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE
started panicking on boot in alloc_vmap_area():

Compiling mm/vmalloc.c with W=2 reveals an instance of -Wshadow, which
helps uncover that through macro expansion, '__old = *(ovalp)' in
raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() can become '__old = *(&__old)' through
raw_cpu_generic_cmpxchg(), which results in garbage being assigned to
the inner __old and the cmpxchg not working properly.
Add an extra underscore to __old in raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() so
that there is no more self-assignment, which resolves the panics.

Now that we have raw_atomic*_<op>() definitions, there's no need to use
arch_atomic*_<op>() definitions outside of the low-level atomic
definitions.
Move treewide users of arch_atomic*_<op>() over to the equivalent
raw_atomic*_<op>().
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Most architectures define the atomic/atomic64 xchg and cmpxchg
operations in terms of arch_xchg and arch_cmpxchg respectfully.
Add fallbacks for these cases and remove the trivial cases from arch
code. On some architectures the existing definitions are kept as these
are used to build other arch_atomic*() operations.

This is an attempt to harden the typing on virt_to_pfn()
and pfn_to_virt().
Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.
For symmetry, we do the same with pfn_to_virt().
The problem with this inconsistent typing was pointed out by
Russell King:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/YoJDKJXc0MJ2QZTb@shell.armlinux.org.uk/
And confirmed by Andrew Morton:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220701160004.2ffff4e5ab59a55499f4c736@linux-foundation.org/
So the recognition of the problem is widespread.
These platforms have been chosen as initial conversion targets:
- ARM
- ARM64/Aarch64
- asm-generic (including for example x86)
- m68k
The idea is that if this goes in, it will block further misuse
of the function signatures due to the large compile coverage,
and then I can go in and fix the remaining architectures on a
one-by-one basis.
Some of the patches have been circulated before but were not
picked up by subsystem maintainers, so now the arch tree is
target for this series.
It has passed zeroday builds after a lot of iterations in my
personal tree, but there could be some randconfig outliers.
New added or deeply hidden problems appear all the time so
some minor fallout can be expected.

Immediately define virt_to_pfn and pfn_to_virt to the static
inline after the static inline since this style of defining
functions is used for the generic helpers.
