<title>ACPI/IORT: Introduce linker section for IORT entries probing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:34ceea275f626ae624b55f2b388a07f806988a55</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing
infrastructure") the kernel has gained the infrastructure that allows
adding linker script section entries to execute ACPI driver callbacks
(ie probe routines) for all subsystems that register a table entry
in the respective kernel section (eg clocksource, irqchip).

Since ARM IOMMU devices data is described through IORT tables when
booting with ACPI, the ARM IOMMU drivers must be made able to hook ACPI
callback routines that are called to probe IORT entries and initialize
the respective IOMMU devices.

To avoid adding driver specific hooks into IORT table initialization
code (breaking therefore code modularity - ie ACPI IORT code must be made
aware of ARM SMMU drivers ACPI init callbacks), this patch adds code
that allows ARM SMMU drivers to take advantage of the ACPI early probing
infrastructure, so that they can add linker script section entries
containing drivers callback to be executed on IORT tables detection.

Since IORT nodes are differentiated by a type, the callback routines
can easily parse the IORT table entries, check the IORT nodes and
carry out some actions whenever the IORT node type associated with
the driver specific callback is matched.

When CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled we must ensure
that we still keep various programatically-accessed tables.

[npiggin: Fold Paul's patches into one, and add a few more tables.
 diff symbol tables of allyesconfig with/without -gc-sections shows up
 lost tables quite easily.]

<content type='text'>
Limit the number of kmemleak false positives by including
.data.ro_after_init in memory scanning.  To achieve this we need to add
symbols for start and end of the section to the linker scripts.

The problem was been uncovered by commit 56989f6d8568 ("genetlink: mark
families as __ro_after_init").

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6727ad9e206cc08b80d8000a4d67f8417e53539d</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Enabling -ffunction-sections modified the generic linker script to
pull .text.* sections into regular TEXT_TEXT section, conflicting
with some architectures. Revert that change and require archs that
enable the option to ensure they have no conflicting section names,
and do the appropriate merging.

<content type='text'>
Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.

On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:

   - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
     topology found on z13 machines.  Performance tests showed up to 8
     percent gain with the additional domain.

   - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
     multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.

   - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
     the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.

   - kcov instrumentation support.  A prerequisite for that is the
     inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
     net/iucv/iucv.c change.

   - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.

  Then there are two removals:

   - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
     The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.

   - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
     be the STP clock synchronization.  And it always has been
     "interesting" code..

  And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"
