As described in: 77b0bf55: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs") GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining. The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline assembly block - which is also a minor cleanup for the jump-label code. As a result the code size is slightly increased, but inlining decisions are better: text data bss dec hex filename 18163528 10226300 2957312 31347140 1de51c4 ./vmlinux before 18163608 10227348 2957312 31348268 1de562c ./vmlinux after (+1128) And functions such as intel_pstate_adjust_policy_max(), kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(), kvm_register_readl() are inlined.

kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs in GCC's inlining decisions. Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files. Currently only x86 will use it. Background: The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes, or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ... Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute for "code size and complexity". Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent practice of putting useful information into alternative sections. As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm() blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine instructions. This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm() blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the way when running on baremetal hardware. Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.) This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount related changes have this impact: Makefile | 9 +++++++-- arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++ arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++ scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++- scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++ 5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read and maintain ... We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

Commit 19483677 ("jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on __init code earlier") refactored the code that manages runtime patching of jump labels in modules that are tied to static keys defined in other modules or in the core kernel. In the latter case, we may iterate over the static_key_mod linked list until we hit the entry for the core kernel, whose 'mod' field will be NULL, and attempt to dereference it to get at its 'state' member. So let's add a non-NULL check: this forces the 'init' argument of __jump_label_update() to false for static keys that are defined in the core kernel, which is appropriate given that __init annotated jump_label entries in the core kernel should no longer be active at this point (i.e., when loading modules).

As reported by nixiaoming, with some minor clarifications: 1) memory leak in ramoops_register_dummy(): dummy_data = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy_data), GFP_KERNEL); but no kfree() if platform_device_register_data() fails. 2) memory leak in ramoops_init(): Missing platform_device_unregister(dummy) and kfree(dummy_data) if platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver) fails. I've clarified the purpose of ramoops_register_dummy(), and added a common cleanup routine for all three failure paths to call.

Nathan Chancellor authored
There is currently a warning when building the Kryo cpufreq driver into the kernel image: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x8aa424): Section mismatch in reference from the function qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe() to the function .init.text:qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id() The function qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe() references the function __init qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id(). This is often because qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id is wrong. Remove the '__init' annotation from qcom_cpufreq_kryo_get_msm_id so that there is no more mismatch warning. Additionally, Nick noticed that the remove function was marked as '__init' when it should really be marked as '__exit'.

Michael writes: "powerpc fixes for 4.19 #3 A reasonably big batch of fixes due to me being away for a few weeks. A fix for the TM emulation support on Power9, which could result in corrupting the guest r11 when running under KVM. Two fixes to the TM code which could lead to userspace GPR corruption if we take an SLB miss at exactly the wrong time. Our dynamic patching code had a bug that meant we could patch freed __init text, which could lead to corrupting userspace memory. csum_ipv6_magic() didn't work on little endian platforms since we optimised it recently. A fix for an endian bug when reading a device tree property telling us how many storage keys the machine has available. Fix a crash seen on some configurations of PowerVM when migrating the partition from one machine to another. A fix for a regression in the setup of our CPU to NUMA node mapping in KVM guests.
