load_module() creates W+X mappings via __vmalloc_node_range() (from
layout_and_allocate()->move_module()->module_alloc()) by using
PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. These mappings are later cleaned up via
"call_rcu_sched(&freeinit->rcu, do_free_init)" from do_init_module().
This is a problem because call_rcu_sched() queues work, which can be run
after debug_checkwx() is run, resulting in a race condition. If hit,
the race results in a nasty splat about insecure W+X mappings, which
results in a poor user experience as these are not the mappings that
debug_checkwx() is intended to catch.
This issue is observed on multiple arm64 platforms, and has been
artificially triggered on an x86 platform.
Address the race by flushing the queued work before running the
arch-defined mark_rodata_ro() which then calls debug_checkwx().

With trace events set before and after the initcall function calls, instead
of having a separate routine for printing out the initcalls when
initcall_debug is specified on the kernel command line, have the code
register a callback to the tracepoints where the initcall trace events are.
This removes the need for having a separate function to do the initcalls as
the tracepoint callbacks can handle the printk. It also includes other
initcalls that are not called by the do_one_initcall() which includes
console and security initcalls.

Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where
the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter,
but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the
information may take longer than the initcall functions.
Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as
well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a
much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls
themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.

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"

After initmem has been freed, any jump labels in __init code are
prevented from being written to by the kernel_text_address() check in
__jump_label_update(). However, this check is quite broad. If
kernel_text_address() were to return false for any other reason, the
jump label write would fail silently with no warning.
For jump labels in module init code, entry->code is set to zero to
indicate that the entry is disabled. Do the same thing for core kernel
init code. This makes the behavior more consistent, and will also make
it more straightforward to detect non-init jump label write failures in
the next patch.

"Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest

with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
diagnose failures.
The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
32bit wraparounds.
- Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
the fixmap code
- A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and
vector allocation code:
- Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was
scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also
distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which
brings a clear separation of functionality.
Great detective work from Dou Lyiang!
- Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing
code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks
which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all
different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when
supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices
and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space
exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation.
Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system
vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and
allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain.
Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new
allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system
vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual
allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and
hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity.
This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of
interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of
CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt
targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed
that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts
end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs
anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed
to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather
fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight
forward and solid code.
Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details
for legacy, normal and managed interrupts:
* Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors
unconditionally
* Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but
the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is
requested. It's guaranteed not to fail.
* Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally
when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable).
The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation
mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is
requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail
due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail
of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector
is handed back as well.
This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional
vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices
which prevented server hibernation due to vector space
exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated
to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.
The code has been equipped with trace points and detailed debugfs
information to aid analysis of the vector space"
