In similar spirit to x86 and arm64 support, add a make_nop_arm()
to replace calls to mcount with a nop in sections that aren't
traced.

Merge fixes for -Wmaybe-uninitialized from Arnd Bergmann:
"It took a while for some patches to make it into mainline through
maintainer trees, but the 28-patch series is now reduced to 10, with
one tiny patch added at the end.
Aside from patches that are no longer required, I did these changes
compared to version 1:
- Dropped "iio: maxim_thermocouple: detect invalid storage size in
read()", which is currently in linux-next as commit 32cb7d27e6.
This is the only remaining warning I see for a couple of corner
cases (kbuild bot reports it on blackfin, kernelci bot and arm-soc
bot both report it on arm64)
- Dropped "brcmfmac: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning in
brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap", which is currently in net/master merge
pending.
- Dropped two x86 patches, "x86: math-emu: possible uninitialized
variable use" and "x86: mark target address as output in 'insb'
asm" as they do not seem to trigger for a default build, and I got
no feedback on them. Both of these are ancient issues and seem
harmless, I will send them again to the x86 maintainers once the
rest is merged.
- Dropped "rbd: false-postive gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized" based on
feedback from Ilya Dryomov, who already has a different fix queued
up for v4.10. The kbuild bot reports this as a warning for xtensa.
- Replaced "crypto: aesni: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning" with
a simpler patch, this one always triggers but my first solution
would not be safe for linux-4.9 any more at this point. I'll follow
up with the larger patch as a cleanup for 4.10.
- Replaced "dib0700: fix nec repeat handling" with a better one,
contributed by Sean Young"
* -Wmaybe-uninitialized fixes:
Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings by default
pcmcia: fix return value of soc_pcmcia_regulator_set
infiniband: shut up a maybe-uninitialized warning
crypto: aesni: shut up -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
rc: print correct variable for z8f0811
dib0700: fix nec repeat handling
s390: pci: don't print uninitialized data for debugging
nios2: fix timer initcall return value
x86: apm: avoid uninitialized data
NFSv4.1: work around -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"
Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above, this
now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed all
warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10.
I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted
bugfixes for those. Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder in
the future as soon as this patch is merged.

Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
[2].
Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
positives, and in commit e74fc973b6 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number
of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.
With commit 877417e6ff ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
for ARM randconfig builds.
However, commit 6e8d666e92 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
obviously never happen.
I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
the actual bugs earlier.
This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables
it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
of false-positives.

The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).
To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.
Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old
device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant to show
how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more
coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff around and
formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it. The good news
is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST
format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and more.

pm_runtime.cocci starts with one rule that searches for a variety of
functions calls, followed by various rules that report errors. Previously,
the only connection between the first rule and the rest was to check that
the first rule had matched somewhere. Change the rules to propagate a

reported on are the same as the sites that were identified as having the

Every so often, with a special config or a architecture change, running
function or function_graph tracing can cause the machien to hard reboot,
crash, or simply hard lockup. There's some functions in the function graph
tracer that can not be traced otherwise it causes the function tracer to
recurse before the recursion protection mechanisms are in place.
When this occurs, using the dynamic ftrace featuer that allows limiting what
actually gets traced can be used to bisect down to the problem function.
This adds a script that helps with this process in the scripts/tracing
directory, called ftrace-bisect.sh
The set up is to read all the functions that can be traced from
available_filter_functions into a file (full_file). Then run this script
passing it the full_file and a "test_file" and "non_test_file", where the
test_file will be add to set_ftrace_filter. What ftarce_bisect.sh does, is
to copy half of the functions in full_file into the test_file and the other
half into the non_test_file. This way, one can cat the test_file into the
set_ftrace_filter functions and only test the functions that are in that
file. If it works, then we run the process again after copying non_test_file
to full_file and repeating the process. If the system crashed, then the bad
function is in the test_file and after a reboot, the test_file becomes the
new full_file in the next iteration.
When we get down to a single function in the full_file, then
ftrace_bisect.sh will report that as the bad function.
Full documentation of how to use this simple script is within the script
file itself.

Due to our compiler include directives, the build pathnames for header
files often end up being of the form "$srcdir/./include/linux/xyz.h",
which ends up having that extra "." path component after the build base
in it.
Teach faddr2line to skip that too, to make code generated in inline
functions in header files match the filename for the regular C files.
Rabin Vincent pointed out that I can't make a stricter regexp match by
using the " at " prefix for the pathname, because that ends up being
locale-dependent. But this does require that the path match be preceded
by a space, to make it a bit more strict (that matters mainly if we
didn't find any base_dir at all, and we only end up with the "./" part
of the match)

ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build
subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all
its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated
in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final
link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with
unresolvable relocations in the final link.
Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking.
This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information
available to it when it links the kernel.
This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which
causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o
files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached,
which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a
built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the
symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link.
The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now
has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise
just completely avoid including those without external references
(consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions
as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as
built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external
references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel
(due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and
costly because the .o files have to be searched for references.
Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead.
Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le
pseries VM with a modest .config:
inclink thinarc
sizes
vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028
sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334
sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430
find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux
real 22.772s 21.143s
user 13.280s 13.430s
sys 4.310s 2.750s
- Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how
ineffective the object file culling is.
- Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity.
On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win.
- Build size saving is significant.
Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks,
$ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with
$ size built-in.o # and their sizes
$ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames

When using a typedef function like this one:
typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);
The Sphinx C domain expects it to create a c:type: reference,
as that's the way it creates the type references when parsing
a c:function:: declaration.
So, a declaration like:
.. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle)
Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`.
So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle
this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings:
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
So, change the kernel-doc script to produce a RST output for the
above typedef as:
.. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
**Typedef**: timings check callback
**Syntax**
``bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);``
