Mike Rapoport 899ee4afe5 arm64: use generic free_initrd_mem()
arm64 calls memblock_free() for the initrd area in its implementation of
free_initrd_mem(), but this call has no actual effect that late in the boot
process. By the time initrd is freed, all the reserved memory is managed by
the page allocator and the memblock.reserved is unused, so the only purpose
of the memblock_free() call is to keep track of initrd memory for debugging
and accounting.

Without the memblock_free() call the only difference between arm64 and the
generic versions of free_initrd_mem() is the memory poisoning.

Move memblock_free() call to the generic code, enable it there
for the architectures that define ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and use the generic
implementation of free_initrd_mem() on arm64.

Geert Uytterhoeven 4ada1e8100 initramfs: fix populate_initrd_image() section mismatch
With gcc-4.6.3:

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x140): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_initrd_image() to the variable .init.ramfs.info:__initramfs_size
    The function populate_initrd_image() references
    the variable __init __initramfs_size.
    This is often because populate_initrd_image lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __initramfs_size is wrong.

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x14c): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_initrd_image() to the function .init.text:unpack_to_rootfs()
    The function populate_initrd_image() references
    the function __init unpack_to_rootfs().
    This is often because populate_initrd_image lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of unpack_to_rootfs is wrong.

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x198): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_initrd_image() to the function .init.text:xwrite()
    The function populate_initrd_image() references
    the function __init xwrite().
    This is often because populate_initrd_image lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of xwrite is wrong.

Indeed, if the compiler decides not to inline populate_initrd_image(), a
warning is generated.

Fix this by adding the missing __init annotations.

Steven Price 5d59aa8f9c initramfs: don't free a non-existent initrd
Since commit 54c7a8916a ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.

In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.

Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.

Christoph Hellwig 54c7a8916a initramfs: free initrd memory if opening /initrd.image fails
Patch series "initramfs tidyups".

I've spent some time chasing down behavior in initramfs and found
plenty of opportunity to improve the code.  A first stab on that is
contained in this series.

This patch (of 7):

We free the initrd memory for all successful or error cases except for the
case where opening /initrd.image fails, which looks like an oversight.

Steven said:

: This also changes the behaviour when CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE is enabled
: - specifically it means that the initrd is freed (previously it was
: ignored and never freed).  But that seems like reasonable behaviour and
: the previous behaviour looks like another oversight.

Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g.  not enough memory.  This
leads to an incomplete rootfs because some files might be extracted
already.  Fixed by cleaning the rootfs so the kernel is not using an
incomplete rootfs.

In this case, sys_link(2) will fail and return -EEXIST, so we can only get
the rc.local at rootfs.cgz instead of rc-local.cgz

related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.

Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.

Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.

Luc Van Oostenryck 6ad018e3ca init/: remove ineffective sparse disabling
Sparse checking used to be disabled on init/do_mounts.c and a few related
files because "Many of the syscalls used in this file expect some of the
arguments to be __user pointers not __kernel pointers".

However since 28128c61e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid
missed struct attributes") the checks are, in fact, not disabled anymore
because of the more early include of "linux/compiler_types.h"

So remove the now ineffective #undefery that was done to disable these
warnings, as well as the associated comment.

Dominik Brodowski 2ca2a09d62 fs: add ksys_close() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_close()
Using the ksys_close() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls
to the sys_close() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it
uses the same calling convention as sys_close(), with one subtle
difference:

The few places which checked the return value did not care about the return
value re-writing in sys_close(), so simply use a wrapper around
__close_fd().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Dominik Brodowski 55731b3cda fs: add do_fchownat(), ksys_fchown() helpers and ksys_{,l}chown() wrappers
Using the fs-interal do_fchownat() wrapper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_fchownat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_fchown() helper and the ksys_{,}chown() wrappers
allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_{,l,f}chown() syscalls.
The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in
replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling
convention as sys_{,l,f}chown().

Dominik Brodowski 03450e271a fs: add ksys_fchmod() and do_fchmodat() helpers and ksys_chmod() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Using the fs-internal do_fchmodat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_fchmodat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_fchmod() helper and the ksys_chmod() wrapper allows
us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_fchmod() and sys_chmod()

Dominik Brodowski 46ea89eb65 fs: add do_linkat() helper and ksys_link() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Using the fs-internal do_linkat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_linkat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_link() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to sys_link() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses
the same calling convention as sys_link().

In the near future, the only fs-external user of ksys_link() should be
converted to use vfs_link() instead.
