commit 21528c69a0d8483f7c6345b1a0bc8d8975e9a172 upstream.

Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states:

  If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by
  default.  To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command
  line.

This currently does not work when root= is provided since then
saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore,
ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided.

The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is:

   root=       | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
   ------------+-------------+--------------------------
   unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs
   unspecified | tmpfs       | tmpfs
   unspecified | ramfs       | ramfs
    provided   | ignored     | ramfs

rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given,
as shown below:

   root=       | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
   ------------+-------------+--------------------------
   unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs  (as before)
   unspecified | tmpfs       | tmpfs  (as before)
   unspecified | ramfs       | ramfs  (as before)
    provided   | unspecified | ramfs  (compatibility with before)
    provided   | tmpfs       | tmpfs  (new)
    provided   | ramfs       | ramfs  (new)

This table represents the new behavior.

commit 5b93a83649c7cba3a15eb7e8959b250841acb1b1 upstream.

Move poking_init() up a bunch; specifically move it right after
mm_init() which is right before ftrace_init().

This will allow simplifying ftrace text poking which currently has
a bunch of exceptions for early boot.

commit 9df9d2f0471b4c4702670380b8d8a45b40b23a7d upstream

X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not
required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out
of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase.

arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations,
but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for
initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is
initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the
required FPU register buffer.

Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and
arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of
arch_cpu_finalize_init().

Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant
for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already.

No functional change intended.

commit 7725acaa4f0c04fbefb0e0d342635b967bb7d414 upstream

check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to
finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code.

Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching
and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together....

Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function
declaration and mostly empty header files for them.

Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic
declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub
inline otherwise.

This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed
along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.

commit 2f14062bb14b0fcfcc21e6dc7d5b5c0d25966164 upstream.

Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to
the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when
it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time
the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended.

Rather than splitting up which entropy gets added where and when between
start_kernel() and random_init(), just do everything in random_init(),
which should eliminate these kinds of bugs in the future.

While we're at it, rename the awkwardly titled "rand_initialize()" to
the more standard "random_init()" nomenclature.

commit 2f14062bb14b0fcfcc21e6dc7d5b5c0d25966164 upstream.

Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to
the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when
it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time
the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended.

commit fe222a6ca2d53c38433cba5d3be62a39099e708e upstream.

Currently time_init() is called after rand_initialize(), but
rand_initialize() makes use of the timer on various platforms, and
sometimes this timer needs to be initialized by time_init() first. In
order for random_get_entropy() to not return zero during early boot when
it's potentially used as an entropy source, reverse the order of these
two calls. The block doing random initialization was right before
time_init() before, so changing the order shouldn't have any complicated
effects.
