kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs

2017-02-03T16:28:25Z

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cgroup: move CONFIG_SOCK_CGROUP_DATA to init/Kconfig

2017-01-11T14:47:10Z

We now 'select SOCK_CGROUP_DATA' but Kconfig complains that this is not right when CONFIG_NET is disabled and there is no socket interface: warning: (CGROUP_BPF) selects SOCK_CGROUP_DATA which has unmet direct dependencies (NET) I don't know what the correct solution for this is, but simply removing the dependency on NET from SOCK_CGROUP_DATA by moving it out of the 'if NET' section avoids the warning and does not produce other build errors.

mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit

2016-12-25T19:54:48Z

Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).
