kallsyms: remove arch specific text and data check

2021-11-09T18:02:50Z

Patch series "sections: Unify kernel sections range check and use", v4. There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and unify them. 1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check in kallsyms.h 2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h 3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify the code After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in sections.h * is_kernel_rodata() --- already in sections.h * is_kernel_core_data() --- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h * is_kernel_inittext() --- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h * __is_kernel_text() --- add new internal helper * __is_kernel() --- add new internal helper Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to use corresponding function in kallsyms.h. This patch (of 11): Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.

mm: make generic arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() do what it says

2021-11-06T20:30:38Z

Commit 7a5da02de8d6 ("locking/lockdep: check for freed initmem in static_obj()") added arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() which is supposed to report whether an object is part of already freed init memory. For the time being, the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() always reports 'false', allthough free_initmem() is generically called on all architectures. Therefore, change the generic version of arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() to check whether free_initmem() has been called. If so, then check if a given address falls into init memory. To ease the use of system_state, move it out of line into its only caller which is lockdep.c Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d40783e676e07858be97d881f449ee7ea8adfb1.1633001016.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Cc: Gerald Schaefer Cc: Kefeng Wang Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

locking: Remove spin_lock_flags() etc

2021-10-30T14:37:28Z

parisc, ia64 and powerpc32 are the only remaining architectures that provide custom arch_{spin,read,write}_lock_flags() functions, which are meant to re-enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock. However, none of these can actually run into this codepath, because it is only called on architectures without CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, or when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set without CONFIG_LOCKDEP, and none of those combinations are possible on the three architectures. Going back in the git history, it appears that arch/mn10300 may have been able to run into this code path, but there is a good chance that it never worked. On the architectures that still exist, it was already impossible to hit back in 2008 after the introduction of CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and possibly earlier. As this is all dead code, just remove it and the helper functions built around it. For arch/ia64, the inline asm could be cleaned up, but it seems safer to leave it untouched.

locking: Remove rcu_read_{,un}lock() for preempt_{dis,en}able()

2021-10-19T15:27:06Z

preempt_disable/enable() is equal to RCU read-side crital section, and the spinning codes in mutex and rwsem could ensure that the preemption is disabled. So let's remove the unnecessary rcu_read_lock/unlock for saving some cycles in hot codes.

locking/rwsem: Disable preemption for spinning region

2021-10-19T15:27:05Z

The spinning region rwsem_spin_on_owner() should not be preempted, however the rwsem_down_write_slowpath() invokes it and don't disable preemption. Fix it by adding a pair of preempt_disable/enable().
