hrtimer: Remove hrtimer_clock_base:: Get_time

2025-09-09T10:27:18+00:00

The get_time() callbacks always need to match the bases clockid.
Instead of maintaining that association twice in hrtimer_bases,
use a helper.

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by GCC and
   Clang compilers and replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in both
   uapi and non-uapi headers

 - Explicitly include  in architecture and driver files
   which contain an EXPORT_SYMBOL() and remove the include from the
   files which do not contain the EXPORT_SYMBOL()

 - Use the full title of "z/Architecture Principles of Operation" manual
   and the name of a section where facility bits are listed

 - Use -D__DISABLE_EXPORTS for files in arch/s390/boot to avoid
   unnecessary slowing down of the build and confusing external kABI
   tools that process symtypes data

 - Print additional unrecoverable machine check information to make the
   root cause analysis easier

 - Move cmpxchg_user_key() handling to uaccess library code, since the
   generated code is large anyway and there is no benefit if it is
   inlined

 - Fix a problem when cmpxchg_user_key() is executing a code with a
   non-default key: if a system is IPL-ed with "LOAD NORMAL", and the
   previous system used storage keys where the fetch-protection bit was
   set for some pages, and the cmpxchg_user_key() is located within such
   page, a protection exception happens

 - Either the external call or emergency signal order is used to send an
   IPI to a remote CPU. Use the external order only, since it is at
   least as good and sometimes even better, than the emergency signal

 - In case of an early crash the early program check handler prints more
   or less random value of the last breaking event address, since it is
   not initialized properly. Copy the last breaking event address from
   the lowcore to pt_regs to address this

 - During STP synchronization check udelay() can not be used, since the
   first CPU modifies tod_clock_base and get_tod_clock_monotonic() might
   return a non-monotonic time. Instead, busy-loop on other CPUs, while
   the the first CPU actually handles the synchronization operation

 - When debugging the early kernel boot using QEMU with the -S flag and
   GDB attached, skip the decompressor and start directly in kernel

 - Rename PAI Crypto event 4210 according to z16 and z17 "z/Architecture
   Principles of Operation" manual

 - Remove the in-kernel time steering support in favour of the new s390
   PTP driver, which allows the kernel clock steered more precisely

 - Remove a possible false-positive warning in pte_free_defer(), which
   could be triggered in a valid case KVM guest process is initializing

scripts/gdb/symbols: make lx-symbols skip the s390 decompressor

2025-07-10T12:42:10+00:00

When one starts QEMU with the -S flag and attaches GDB, the kernel is
not yet loaded, and the current instruction is an entry point to the
decompressor. In case the intention is to debug the early kernel boot,
and not the decompressor, e.g., put a breakpoint on some kernel
function and see all the invocations, one has to skip the decompressor.

There are many ways to do this, and so far people wrote private scripts
or memorized certain command sequences.

Make it work out of the box like this:

    $ gdb -ex 'target remote :6812' -ex 'source vmlinux-gdb.py' vmlinux
    Remote debugging using :6812
    0x0000000000010000 in ?? ()
    (gdb) lx-symbols
    loading vmlinux
    (gdb) x/i $pc
    => 0x3ffe0100000 :    lghi    %r2,0

Implement this by reading the address of the jump_to_kernel() function
from the lowcore, and step until DAT is turned on.

scripts: gdb: vfs: support external dentry names

d_shortname of struct dentry only reserves D_NAME_INLINE_LEN characters
and contains garbage for longer names.  Use d_name instead, which always
references the valid name.

scripts/gdb: de-reference per-CPU MCE interrupts

2025-07-10T04:07:53+00:00

The per-CPU MCE interrupts are looked up by reference and need to be
de-referenced before printing, otherwise we print the addresses of the
variables instead of their contents:

MCE: 18379471554386948492   Machine check exceptions
MCP: 18379471554386948488   Machine check polls

The corrected output looks like this instead now:

MCE:          0   Machine check exceptions
MCP:          1   Machine check polls

scripts/gdb: fix interrupts.py after maple tree conversion

2025-07-10T04:07:53+00:00

In commit 721255b9826b ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor
management"), the irq_desc_tree was replaced with a sparse_irqs tree using
a maple tree structure.  Since the script looked for the irq_desc_tree
symbol which is no longer available, no interrupts would be printed and
the script output would not be useful anymore.

In addition to looking up the correct symbol (sparse_irqs), a new module
(mapletree.py) is added whose mtree_load() implementation is largely
copied after the C version and uses the same variable and intermediate
function names wherever possible to ensure that both the C and Python
version be updated in the future.

This restores the scripts' output to match that of /proc/interrupts.
