linux/kconfig.h: replace IF_ENABLED() with PTR_IF() in

2021-05-08T15:29:45Z

is included from all the kernel-space source files, including C, assembly, linker scripts. It is intended to contain a minimal set of macros to evaluate CONFIG options. IF_ENABLED() is an intruder here because (x ? y : z) is C code, which should not be included from assembly files or linker scripts. Also, is no longer self-contained because NULL is defined in . Move IF_ENABLED() out to as PTR_IF(). PTF_IF() takes the general boolean expression instead of a CONFIG option so that it fits better in . Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Kees Cook

kernel.h: drop inclusion in bitmap.h

2021-05-07T02:24:11Z

The bitmap.h header is used in a lot of code around the kernel. Besides that it includes kernel.h which sometimes makes a loop. The problem here is many unneeded loops that make header hell dependencies. For example, how may you move bitmap_zalloc() from C-file to the header? Currently it's impossible. And bitmap.h here is only the tip of an iceberg. kerne.h is a dump of everything that even has nothing in common at all. We may still have it, but in my new code I prefer to include only the headers that I want to use, without the bulk of unneeded kernel code. Break the loop by introducing align.h, including it in kernel.h and bitmap.h followed by replacing kernel.h with limits.h.

sched: Harden PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

2021-02-17T13:12:42Z

Use the new EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP() / static_call_mod() to unexport the static_call_key for the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC calls such that modules can no longer update these calls. Having modules change/hi-jack the preemption calls would be horrible. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

preempt/dynamic: Provide cond_resched() and might_resched() static calls

2021-02-17T13:12:42Z

Provide static calls to control cond_resched() (called in !CONFIG_PREEMPT) and might_resched() (called in CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) to that we can override their behaviour when preempt= is overriden. Since the default behaviour is full preemption, both their calls are ignored when preempt= isn't passed.

kernel.h: split out mathematical helpers

2020-12-16T06:46:15Z

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out mathematical helpers. At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT

2020-11-24T10:25:44Z

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no real compelling reason to make it only available for RT. There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce it implicitly. Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

Some stalls are transient, so that system fully recovers. This commit therefore allows users to configure the number of stalls that must happen in order to trigger kernel panic. Signed-off-by: chao Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49Z

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.
