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.

Function kobject_init_and_add() is currently misused in a number of

Platform core is using pdev->name as the platform device name to do
the binding of the devices with the drivers. But, when the platform
driver overrides the platform device name with dev_set_name(),
the pdev->name is pointing to a location which is freed and becomes
an invalid parameter to do the binding match.

kobj_type currently uses a list of individual attributes to store
default attributes. Attribute groups are more flexible than a list of
attributes because groups provide support for attribute visibility. So,
add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type.
In future patches, the existing uses of kobj_type’s attribute list will
be converted to attribute groups. When that is complete, kobj_type’s
attribute list, “default_attrs”, will be removed.

The crash occurs for the same reason.
In this case, on the really_probe() failure path, we are still clearing
the DMA ops prior to releasing the device's managed memories.
This patch fixes this issue by reordering the DMA ops teardown and the
call to devres_release_all() on the failure path.

If user updates any cpu's cpu_capacity, then the new value is going to
be applied to all its online sibling cpus. But this need not to be correct
always, as sibling cpus (in ARM, same micro architecture cpus) would have
different cpu_capacity with different performance characteristics.
So, updating the user supplied cpu_capacity to all cpu siblings
is not correct.
And another problem is, current code assumes that 'all cpus in a cluster
or with same package_id (core_siblings), would have same cpu_capacity'.
But with commit '5bdd2b3f0f8 ("arm64: topology: add support to remove
cpu topology sibling masks")', when a cpu hotplugged out, the cpu
information gets cleared in its sibling cpus. So, user supplied
cpu_capacity would be applied to only online sibling cpus at the time.
After that, if any cpu hotplugged in, it would have different cpu_capacity
than its siblings, which breaks the above assumption.
So, instead of mucking around the core sibling mask for user supplied
value, use device-tree to set cpu capacity. And make the cpu_capacity
node as read-only to know the asymmetry between cpus in the system.
While at it, remove cpu_scale_mutex usage, which used for sysfs write
protection.

If the HMAT Subsystem Address Range provides a valid processor proximity
domain for a memory domain, or a processor domain matches the performance
access of the valid processor proximity domain, register the memory
target with that initiator so this relationship will be visible under
the node's sysfs directory.
Since HMAT requires valid address ranges have an equivalent SRAT entry,
verify each memory target satisfies this requirement.

System memory may have caches to help improve access speed to frequently
requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is transparent
to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications can optimize
their own access based on cache attributes.
Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory-side caches
under the memory node that provides it.
The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo
attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/<cpu>/cache/. Unlike CPU
cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from the view of the
memory. A higher level number is nearer to the CPU, while lower levels
are closer to the last level memory.
The exported attributes are the cache size, the line size, associativity
indexing, and write back policy, and add the attributes for the system
memory caches to sysfs stable documentation.

Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency
and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface
for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target
node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information,
applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to
request memory.
The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:
# tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
|-- read_bandwidth
|-- read_latency
|-- write_bandwidth
`-- write_latency
The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in
nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the
manufacturer.
Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's
access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe
different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use
of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have
the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or
omitted from the any access class' initiators.
Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes
are added to sysfs stable documentation.

Systems may be constructed with various specialized nodes. Some nodes
may provide memory, some provide compute devices that access and use
that memory, and others may provide both. Nodes that provide memory are
referred to as memory targets, and nodes that can initiate memory access
are referred to as memory initiators.
Memory targets will often have varying access characteristics from
different initiators, and platforms may have ways to express those
relationships. In preparation for these systems, provide interfaces for
the kernel to export the memory relationship among different nodes memory
targets and their initiators with symlinks to each other.
If a system provides access locality for each initiator-target pair, nodes
may be grouped into ranked access classes relative to other nodes. The
new interface allows a subsystem to register relationships of varying
classes if available and desired to be exported.
A memory initiator may have multiple memory targets in the same access
class. The target memory's initiators in a given class indicate the
nodes access characteristics share the same performance relative to other
linked initiator nodes. Each target within an initiator's access class,
though, do not necessarily perform the same as each other.
A memory target node may have multiple memory initiators. All linked
initiators in a target's class have the same access characteristics to
that target.
The following example show the nodes' new sysfs hierarchy for a memory
target node 'Y' with access class 0 from initiator node 'X':
# symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/
relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/nodeY -> ../../nodeY
# symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/
relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/nodeX -> ../../nodeX
The new attributes are added to the sysfs stable documentation.

Parsing entries in an ACPI table had assumed a generic header
structure. There is no standard ACPI header, though, so less common
layouts with different field sizes required custom parsers to go through
their subtable entry list.
Create the infrastructure for adding different table types so parsing
the entries array may be more reused for all ACPI system tables and
the common code doesn't need to be duplicated.

syzbot is hitting use-after-free bug in uinput module [1]. This is because
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is called again due to commit 0f4dafc0563c6c49
("Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref") after memory allocation fault
injection made kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from device_del() from
input_unregister_device() fail, while uinput_destroy_device() is expecting
that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is not called after device_del() from
input_unregister_device() completed.
That commit intended to catch cases where nobody even attempted to send
"remove" uevents. But there is no guarantee that an event will ultimately
be sent. We are at the point of no return as far as the rest of the kernel
is concerned; there are no repeats or do-overs.
Also, it is not clear whether some subsystem depends on that commit.
If no subsystem depends on that commit, it will be better to remove
the state_{add,remove}_uevent_sent logic. But we don't want to risk
a regression (in a patch which will be backported) by trying to remove
that logic. Therefore, as a first step, let's avoid the use-after-free bug
by making sure that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) won't be triggered twice.

Since commit 7934779a69f1184f ("Driver-Core: disable /sbin/hotplug by
default"), the help text for the /sbin/hotplug fork-bomb says
"This should not be used today [...] creates a high system load, or
[...] out-of-memory situations during bootup". The rationale for this
was that no recent mainstream system used this anymore (in 2010!).
A few years later, the complete uevent helper support was made optional
in commit 86d56134f1b67d0c ("kobject: Make support for uevent_helper
optional."). However, if was still left enabled by default, to support
ancient userland.
Time passed by, and nothing should use this anymore, so it can be
disabled by default.

struct device is big, around 760 bytes on x86_64. It's not a critical
structure, but it is embedded everywhere, so making it smaller is always
a good thing.
With a recent patch that moved a field from struct device to the private
structure, some benchmarks showed a very odd regression, despite this
structure having nothing to do with those benchmarks. That caused me to
look into the layout of the structure. Using 'pahole', it showed a
number of holes and ways that the structure could be reordered in order
to align some cachelines better, as well as reduce the size of the
overall structure.
Move 'struct kobj' to the start of the structure, to keep that access
in the first cacheline, and try to organize things a bit more compactly
where possible
By doing these few moves, the result removes at least 8 bytes from
'struct device' on a 64bit system. Given we know there are systems with
at least 30k devices in memory at once, every little byte counts, and
this change could be a savings of 240k of kernel memory for them. On
"normal" systems the overall memory savings would be much less.
