lib/Kconfig.debug: TEST_IOV_ITER depends on MMU

2024-03-01T12:41:46Z

commit 1eb1e984379e2da04361763f66eec90dd75cf63e upstream. Trying to run the iov_iter unit test on a nommu system such as the qemu kc705-nommu emulation results in a crash. KTAP version 1 # Subtest: iov_iter # module: kunit_iov_iter 1..9 BUG: failure at mm/nommu.c:318/vmap()! Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG! The test calls vmap() directly, but vmap() is not supported on nommu systems, causing the crash. TEST_IOV_ITER therefore needs to depend on MMU.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu: "Cleanups: - kprobes: Fixes typo in kprobes samples - tracing/eprobes: Remove 'break' after return kretprobe/fprobe performance improvements: - lib: Introduce new `objpool`, which is a high performance lockless object queue. This uses per-cpu ring array to allocate/release objects from the pre-allocated object pool. Since the index of ring array is a 32bit sequential counter, we can retry to push/pop the object pointer from the ring without lock (as seq-lock does) - lib: Add an objpool test module to test the functionality and evaluate the performance under some circumstances - kprobes/fprobe: Improve kretprobe and rethook scalability performance with objpool. This improves both legacy kretprobe and fprobe exit handler (which is based on rethook) to be scalable on SMP systems. Even with 8-threads parallel test, it shows a great scalability improvement - Remove unneeded freelist.h which is replaced by objpool - objpool: Add maintainers entry for the objpool - objpool: Fix to remove unused include header lines" * tag 'probes-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: kprobes: unused header files removed MAINTAINERS: objpool added kprobes: freelist.h removed kprobes: kretprobe scalability improvement lib: objpool test module added lib: objpool added: ring-array based lockless MPMC tracing/eprobe: drop unneeded breaks samples: kprobes: Fixes a typo

lib: objpool test module added

2023-10-18T13:36:03Z

The test_objpool module (test_objpool) will run several testcases for objpool stress and performance evaluation. Each testcase will have all available cpu cores involved to create a situation of high parallel and high contention. As of now there are 5 groups and 5 * 2 testcases in total: 1) group 1: synchronous mode objpool is managed synchronously, that is, all objects are to be reclaimed before objpool finalization and the objpool owner makes sure of it. All threads on different cores run in the same pace 2) group 2: synchronous mode + hrtimer this case have 2 customers: normal threads and hrtimer softirqs 3) group 3: synchronous + overrun mode This test group is mainly for performance evaluation of missing cases when pre-allocated objects are less than the requested 4) group 4: asynchronous mode This case is just an emulation of kretprobe, with refcount used to control the objpool lifecycle 5) group 5: asynchronous mode with hrtimer hrtimer softirq is introduced to stress async objpool operations Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231017135654.82270-3-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/ Signed-off-by: wuqiang.matt Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

2023-09-11T08:13:17Z

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

iov_iter: Kunit tests for copying to/from an iterator

Add some kunit tests for page extraction for ITER_BVEC, ITER_KVEC and ITER_XARRAY type iterators. ITER_UBUF and ITER_IOVEC aren't dealt with as they require userspace VM interaction. ITER_DISCARD isn't dealt with either as that does nothing.

lib/Kconfig.debug: Restrict DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for RISC-V

2023-08-31T07:18:37Z

When building for ARCH=riscv using LLVM < 14, there is an error with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y: error: A dwo section may not contain relocations This was worked around in LLVM 15 by disallowing '-gsplit-dwarf' with '-mrelax' (the default), so CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT is not selectable with newer versions of LLVM: $ clang --target=riscv64-linux-gnu -gsplit-dwarf -c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null clang: error: -gsplit-dwarf is unsupported with RISC-V linker relaxation (-mrelax) GCC silently had a similar issue that was resolved with GCC 12.x. Restrict CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for RISC-V when using LLVM or GCC < 12.x to avoid these known issues.
