c604abc3f6 vmlinux.lds.h: Split ELF_DETAILS from STABS_DEBUG
The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections
that need to be accounted for when linking with --orphan-handling=warn.

ff487d4103 MIPS: Truncate link address into 32bit for 32bit kernel
LLD failed to link vmlinux with 64bit load address for 32bit ELF
while bfd will strip 64bit address into 32bit silently.
To fix LLD build, we should truncate load address provided by platform
into 32bit for 32bit kernel.

MIPS: Ensure ELF appended dtb is relocated
This fixes booting with the combination of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
and CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y.

Sections that appear after the relocation table are not relocated
on system boot (except .bss, which has special handling).

With CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB, the dtb is part of the
vmlinux ELF, so it must be relocated together with everything else.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

b5effd3815 debug: Fix __bug_table[] in arch linker scripts
The kbuild test robot reported this build failure on a number

 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__start___bug_table'
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__stop___bug_table'

Caused by:

  19d436268d ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

3f00f4d8f0 MIPS: Ensure bss section ends on a long-aligned address
When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S
instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal
the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss
section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment
the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon
the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the
case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the
non-long-aligned end address & we will continue to increment past the
end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory.

Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass
0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus
don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error
condition described above.

Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to
the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is
always at least long-aligned.

6727ad9e20 nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
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.

069fd76627 MIPS: Reserve space for relocation table
When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, add a new section in the memory map
to be filled with relocation data.

CONFIG_RELOCATION_TABLE_SIZE allows the amount of space reserved to be
adjusted if necessary.

The relocs tool will populate this reserved space with relocation
information. The space is reserved within the elf by filling it with
0's, and an invalid entry is left at the start of the space such that
kernel relocation will be aborted if the table is empty.

be7635e728 arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections
KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

485172b3df MIPS: Align swapper_pg_dir to 64K for better TLB Refill code.
We can save an instruction in the TLB Refill path for kernel mappings
by aligning swapper_pg_dir on a 64K boundary.  The address of
swapper_pg_dir can be generated with a single LUI instead of
LUI/{D}ADDUI.

The alignment of __init_end is bumped up to 64K so there are no holes
between it and swapper_pg_dir, which is placed at the very beginning
of .bss.

The alignment of invalid_pmd_table and invalid_pte_table can be
relaxed to PAGE_SIZE.  We do this by using __page_aligned_bss, which
has the added benefit of eliminating alignment holes in .bss.

a2d063ac21 extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.

Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).

This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.

Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on

several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet.

to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.]

51b563fc93 arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

023bf6f1b8 linker script: unify usage of discard definition
Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.

This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.

ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,

6b3766a263 [MIPS] vmlinux.lds.S: handle .text.*
The -ffunction-sections puts each text in .text.function_name section.
Without this patch, most functions are placed outside _text..._etext
area and it breaks show_stacktrace(), etc.

01ba2bdc6b all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.h
This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.

This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy
us much good.

0f5c906442 [MIPS] Introduce a consistent style for vmlinux.lds.
This style will be consitent with all other arch's - soon.

In addition:
- Moved a few labels inside brackets for the sections they specify
  to prevent that linker alignmnet made them point before the section start

6c76988b81 [MIPS] Do not discard extra debugging sections.
Leaving these sections is useful to some tools that look at the image, and
none of them are loaded into memory.  The .mdebug.abi64 section, in
particular, lets GDB recognize vmlinux.32 as an N64 program instead of
guessing that it is O32.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
