<id>urn:sha1:ccd11d1dcd66c7d1b3d404bd537f55edc5223cc5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit eff8728fe69880d3f7983bec3fb6cea4c306261f upstream.

Basically, consider .text.{hot|unlikely|unknown}.* part of .text, too.

When compiling with profiling information (collected via PGO
instrumentations or AutoFDO sampling), Clang will separate code into
.text.hot, .text.unlikely, or .text.unknown sections based on profiling
information. After D79600 (clang-11), these sections will have a
trailing `.` suffix, ie.  .text.hot., .text.unlikely., .text.unknown..

When using -ffunction-sections together with profiling infomation,
either explicitly (FGKASLR) or implicitly (LTO), code may be placed in
sections following the convention:
.text.hot.&lt;foo&gt;, .text.unlikely.&lt;bar&gt;, .text.unknown.&lt;baz&gt;
where &lt;foo&gt;, &lt;bar&gt;, and &lt;baz&gt; are functions.  (This produces one section
per function; we generally try to merge these all back via linker script
so that we don't have 50k sections).

For the above cases, we need to teach our linker scripts that such
sections might exist and that we'd explicitly like them grouped
together, otherwise we can wind up with code outside of the
_stext/_etext boundaries that might not be mapped properly for some
architectures, resulting in boot failures.

If the linker script is not told about possible input sections, then
where the section is placed as output is a heuristic-laiden mess that's
non-portable between linkers (ie. BFD and LLD), and has resulted in many
hard to debug bugs.  Kees Cook is working on cleaning this up by adding
--orphan-handling=warn linker flag used in ARCH=powerpc to additional
architectures. In the case of linker scripts, borrowing from the Zen of
Python: explicit is better than implicit.

Also, ld.bfd's internal linker script considers .text.hot AND
.text.hot.* to be part of .text, as well as .text.unlikely and
.text.unlikely.*. I didn't see support for .text.unknown.*, and didn't
see Clang producing such code in our kernel builds, but I see code in
LLVM that can produce such section names if profiling information is
missing. That may point to a larger issue with generating or collecting
profiles, but I would much rather be safe and explicit than have to
debug yet another issue related to orphan section placement.

<title>bpf: Prevent .BTF section elimination</title>

<content type='text'>
Systems with memory or disk constraints often reduce the kernel footprint
by configuring LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. However, this can result in
removal of any BTF information.

Use the KEEP() macro to preserve the BTF data as done with other important
sections, while still allowing for smaller kernels.

<title>iomap: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8f28ca6bd8211214faf717677bbffe375c2a6072</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "iomap: Constify ioreadX() iomem argument", v3.

The ioread8/16/32() and others have inconsistent interface among the
architectures: some taking address as const, some not.

It seems there is nothing really stopping all of them to take pointer to
const.

This patch (of 4):

The ioreadX() and ioreadX_rep() helpers have inconsistent interface.  On
some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const,
on some not.

Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.

 "A few patches all over the place during this cycle, mostly bug and
  sparse warning fixes for OpenRISC, but a few enhancements too. Note,
  there are 2 non OpenRISC specific fixups.

  Non OpenRISC fixes:

   - In init we need to align the init_task correctly to fix an issue
     with MUTEX_FLAGS, reviewed by Peter Z. No one picked this up so I
     kept it on my tree.

   - In asm-generic/io.h I fixed up some sparse warnings, OK'd by Arnd.
     Arnd asked to merge it via my tree.

  OpenRISC fixes:

   - Many fixes for OpenRISC sprase warnings.

   - Add support OpenRISC SMP tlb flushing rather than always flushing
     the entire TLB on every CPU.

   - Fix bug when dumping stack via /proc/xxx/stack of user threads"
