The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.
arc has a couple of architecture specific system calls, which I add to the
generic table. This for some reason includes the deprecated sys_sysfs()
syscall that was presumably added by accident.
The time32, renameat, stat64 and rlimit entries in the syscall_abis_32
entry are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when arch/arc
got added but are no longer enabled by default for new architectures.
Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.
Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.
Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

pull-request: bpf 2024-05-27
We've added 15 non-merge commits during the last 7 day(s) which contain
a total of 18 files changed, 583 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Fix broken BPF multi-uprobe PID filtering logic which filtered by thread
while the promise was to filter by process, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) Fix the recent influx of syzkaller reports to sockmap which triggered
a locking rule violation by performing a map_delete, from Jakub Sitnicki.
3) Fixes to netkit driver in particular on skb->pkt_type override upon pass
verdict, from Daniel Borkmann.
4) Fix an integer overflow in resolve_btfids which can wrongly trigger build
failures, from Friedrich Vock.
5) Follow-up fixes for ARC JIT reported by static analyzers,
from Shahab Vahedi.

Also updated couple of comments along the way.
One of the issues reported was indeed a bug in the code:
memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(ctx)) // original line
memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(*ctx)) // fixed line
That was a nice catch.

This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.
The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120 224 260 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1 23 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS
Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":
- bpf_jit.h -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic
The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".
1. Normal pass # The necessary pass
1a. Dry run # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
1b. Emit phase # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
2a. Patch relocations
Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:
- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)
The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:
hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf
test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]
All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:
.-----------.------------.-------------.
| test type | opcodes | # of cases |
|-----------+------------+-------------|
| atomic | 0xC3, 0xDB | 149 |
| div64 | 0x37, 0x3F | 22 |
| mod64 | 0x97, 0x9F | 15 |
`-----------^------------+-------------|
| (total) 186 |
`-------------'
Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:
CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m
The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y # prerequisite for below
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h
CONFIG_FTRACE=y #
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y # all these options lead to
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y #
Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.
[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7
Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:
pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats
Or else, the build will fail:
$ make V=1
...

pahole -J --btf_gen_floats \
-j --lang_exclude=rust \
--skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \

Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.

BTFIDS vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available
This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

The per-architecture fbdev code has no dependencies on fbdev and can
be used for any video-related subsystem. Rename the files to 'video'.
Use video-sti.c on parisc as the source file depends on CONFIG_STI_CORE.
On arc, arm, arm64, sh, and um the asm header file is an empty wrapper
around the file in asm-generic. Let Kbuild generate the file. The build
system does this automatically. Only um needs to generate video.h
explicitly, so that it overrides the host architecture's header. The
latter would otherwise interfere with the build.
Further update all includes statements, include guards, and Makefiles.
Also update a few strings and comments to refer to video instead of
fbdev.
v3:
- arc, arm, arm64, sh: generate asm header via build system (Sam,
Helge, Arnd)
- um: rename fb.h to video.h
- fix typo in commit message (Sam)

The dma_base, size and iommu arguments are only used by ARM, and can
now easily be deduced from the device itself, so there's no need to pass
them through the callchain as well.

Future changes will need to add a new member to struct
vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that
doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member
manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core
code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.
It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each
call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some
struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those
sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the
convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition
missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is useful
to do things similar across the kernel.
The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish
taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of
introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in: struct
vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};
With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero
initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded.
The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides.
While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked
other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have
been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the
respective arch.
So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a
tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this
change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and
statements that simply set members to zero.

Patch series "Memory allocation profiling", v6.
Overview:
Low overhead [1] per-callsite memory allocation profiling. Not just for
debug kernels, overhead low enough to be deployed in production.

Usage:
kconfig options:
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG
adds warnings for allocations that weren't accounted because of a
missing annotation
sysctl:
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling
Runtime info:
/proc/allocinfo
Notes:
[1]: Overhead
To measure the overhead we are comparing the following configurations:
(1) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n
(2) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)
(3) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y)
(4) Enabled at runtime (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n && /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling=1)
(5) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y && allocating with __GFP_ACCOUNT
(6) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
(7) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
Performance overhead:
To evaluate performance we implemented an in-kernel test executing
multiple get_free_page/free_page and kmalloc/kfree calls with allocation
sizes growing from 8 to 240 bytes with CPU frequency set to max and CPU
affinity set to a specific CPU to minimize the noise. Below are results
from running the test on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with 6.8.0-rc1 kernel on
56 core Intel Xeon:
kmalloc pgalloc
(1 baseline) 6.764s 16.902s
(2 default disabled) 6.793s (+0.43%) 17.007s (+0.62%)

Manual/partial revert of 8690bbcf3b70 ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures")
Current generation of ARCv2/ARCv3 based HSxx cores are only PIPT (to software
at least).
Legacy ARC700 cpus could be VIPT aliasing (based on cache geometry and
PAGE_SIZE) [1] however recently that support was ripped out so VIPT aliasing
cache is not relevant to ARC anymore.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.
