kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs

2019-05-24T18:16:01Z

The kheaders archive consisting of the kernel headers used for compiling bpf programs is in /proc. However there is concern that moving it here will make it permanent. Let us move it to /sys/kernel as discussed [1].

Provide in-kernel headers to make extending kernel easier

2019-04-29T14:48:03Z

Introduce in-kernel headers which are made available as an archive through proc (/proc/kheaders.tar.xz file). This archive makes it possible to run eBPF and other tracing programs that need to extend the kernel for tracing purposes without any dependency on the file system having headers. A github PR is sent for the corresponding BCC patch at: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/2312 On Android and embedded systems, it is common to switch kernels but not have kernel headers available on the file system. Further once a different kernel is booted, any headers stored on the file system will no longer be useful. This is an issue even well known to distros. By storing the headers as a compressed archive within the kernel, we can avoid these issues that have been a hindrance for a long time. The best way to use this feature is by building it in. Several users have a need for this, when they switch debug kernels, they do not want to update the filesystem or worry about it where to store the headers on it. However, the feature is also buildable as a module in case the user desires it not being part of the kernel image. This makes it possible to load and unload the headers from memory on demand. A tracing program can load the module, do its operations, and then unload the module to save kernel memory. The total memory needed is 3.3MB. By having the archive available at a fixed location independent of filesystem dependencies and conventions, all debugging tools can directly refer to the fixed location for the archive, without concerning with where the headers on a typical filesystem which significantly simplifies tooling that needs kernel headers. The code to read the headers is based on /proc/config.gz code and uses the same technique to embed the headers. Other approaches were discussed such as having an in-memory mountable filesystem, but that has drawbacks such as requiring an in-kernel xz decompressor which we don't have today, and requiring usage of 42 MB of kernel memory to host the decompressed headers at anytime. Also this approach is simpler than such approaches. Reviewed-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kernel/configs: use .incbin directive to embed config_data.gz

2019-03-08T02:32:02Z

This slightly optimizes the kernel/configs.c build. bin2c is not very efficient because it converts a data file into a huge array to embed it into a *.c file. Instead, we can use the .incbin directive. Also, this simplifies the code; Makefile is cleaner, and the way to get the offset/size of the config_data.gz is more straightforward. I used the "asm" statement in *.c instead of splitting it into *.S because MODULE_* tags are not supported in *.S files. I also cleaned up kernel/.gitignore; "config_data.gz" is unneeded because the top-level .gitignore takes care of the "*.gz" pattern.

kbuild: change filechk to surround the given command with { }

2019-01-06T00:46:51Z

filechk_* rules often consist of multiple 'echo' lines. They must be surrounded with { } or ( ) to work correctly. Otherwise, only the string from the last 'echo' would be written into the target. Let's take care of that in the 'filechk' in scripts/Kbuild.include to clean up filechk_* rules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Merge tag 'y2038-for-4.21' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground

2018-12-28T20:45:04Z

Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann: "More syscalls and cleanups This concludes the main part of the system call rework for 64-bit time_t, which has spread over most of year 2018, the last six system calls being - ppoll - pselect6 - io_pgetevents - recvmmsg - futex - rt_sigtimedwait As before, nothing changes for 64-bit architectures, while 32-bit architectures gain another entry point that differs only in the layout of the timespec structure. Hopefully in the next release we can wire up all 22 of those system calls on all 32-bit architectures, which gives us a baseline version for glibc to start using them. This does not include the clock_adjtime, getrusage/waitid, and getitimer/setitimer system calls. I still plan to have new versions of those as well, but they are not required for correct operation of the C library since they can be emulated using the old 32-bit time_t based system calls. Aside from the system calls, there are also a few cleanups here, removing old kernel internal interfaces that have become unused after all references got removed. The arch/sh cleanups are part of this, there were posted several times over the past year without a reaction from the maintainers, while the corresponding changes made it into all other architectures" * tag 'y2038-for-4.21' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground: timekeeping: remove obsolete time accessors vfs: replace current_kernel_time64 with ktime equivalent timekeeping: remove timespec_add/timespec_del timekeeping: remove unused {read,update}_persistent_clock sh: remove board_time_init() callback sh: remove unused rtc_sh_get/set_time infrastructure sh: sh03: rtc: push down rtc class ops into driver sh: dreamcast: rtc: push down rtc class ops into driver y2038: signal: Add compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64 y2038: signal: Add sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32 y2038: socket: Add compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64 y2038: futex: Add support for __kernel_timespec y2038: futex: Move compat implementation into futex.c io_pgetevents: use __kernel_timespec pselect6: use __kernel_timespec ppoll: use __kernel_timespec signal: Add restore_user_sigmask() signal: Add set_user_sigmask()

y2038: futex: Move compat implementation into futex.c

2018-12-07T21:19:07Z

We are going to share the compat_sys_futex() handler between 64-bit architectures and 32-bit architectures that need to deal with both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, and this is easier if both entry points are in the same file. In fact, most other system call handlers do the same thing these days, so let's follow the trend here and merge all of futex_compat.c into futex.c. In the process, a few minor changes have to be done to make sure everything still makes sense: handle_futex_death() and futex_cmpxchg_enabled() become local symbol, and the compat version of the fetch_robust_entry() function gets renamed to compat_fetch_robust_entry() to avoid a symbol clash. This is intended as a purely cosmetic patch, no behavior should change. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann
