Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Douglas AndersonandAndrew Morton 8d539b84f1 nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU
The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to
exclude the current CPU.  This convenience means callers didn't need to
find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case.

Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a
boolean.  This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the
hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a
trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask.

Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior.  Specifically if
the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they
already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller
that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

Josh Poimboeuf 071c44e427 sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn
Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

Guilherme G. PiccoliandRussell King (Oracle) 8fc0b333a7 ARM: 9257/1: Disable FIQs (but not IRQs) on CPUs shutdown paths
Currently the regular CPU shutdown path for ARM disables IRQs/FIQs
in the secondary CPUs - smp_send_stop() calls ipi_cpu_stop(), which
is responsible for that. IRQs are architecturally masked when we
take an interrupt, but FIQs are high priority than IRQs, hence they
aren't masked. With that said, it makes sense to disable FIQs here,
but there's no need for (re-)disabling IRQs.

More than that: there is an alternative path for disabling CPUs,
in the form of function crash_smp_send_stop(), which is used for
kexec/panic path. This function relies on a SMP call that also
triggers a busy-wait loop [at machine_crash_nonpanic_core()], but
without disabling FIQs. This might lead to odd scenarios, like
early interrupts in the boot of kexec'd kernel or even interrupts
in secondary "disabled" CPUs while the main one still works in the
panic path and assumes all secondary CPUs are (really!) off.

So, let's disable FIQs in both paths and *not* disable IRQs a second
time, since they are already masked in both paths by the architecture.
This way, we keep both CPU quiesce paths consistent and safe.

Ben Dooksandakpm 787dbea11a profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implemented
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:

Ard Biesheuvel 9c46929e79 ARM: implement THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for uniprocessor systems
On UP systems, only a single task can be 'current' at the same time,
which means we can use a global variable to track it. This means we can
also enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for those systems, as in that case,
thread_info is accessed via current rather than the other way around,
removing the need to store thread_info at the base of the task stack.
This, in turn, permits us to enable IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks on UP
systems as well.

To partially mitigate the performance overhead of this arrangement, use
a ADD/ADD/LDR sequence with the appropriate PC-relative group
relocations to load the value of current when needed. This means that
accessing current will still only require a single load as before,
avoiding the need for a literal to carry the address of the global
variable in each function. However, accessing thread_info will now
require this load as well.

stack to be able to access the 'current' pointer, we can wire up the

Note that this requires us to update the cpu field in thread_info
explicitly, now that the core code no longer does so. Ideally, we would
switch the percpu code to access the cpu field in task_struct instead,
but this unleashes #include circular dependency hell.

Ard Biesheuvel 50596b7559 ARM: smp: Store current pointer in TPIDRURO register if available
Now that the user space TLS register is assigned on every return to user
space, we can use it to keep the 'current' pointer while running in the

located at the base of the stack, but will be moved out of there in a
subsequent patch.

Use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper when available - this will
help GCC understand that reloading the value within the same function is
not necessary, even when using the per-task stack protector (which also
generates accesses via the TLS register). For example, the generated
code below loads TPIDRURO only once, and uses it to access both the
stack canary and the preempt_count fields.

    arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
    arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
    kernel/trace/trace.c

For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.

For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

Valentin SchneiderandIngo Molnar f1a0a376ca sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled
As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcb ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);
