The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs. Notable
series include:
- Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping
cleanup/consolidation/maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide:
Remove pXd_huge() API".
- In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in one
test.
- In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
/proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being allocated:
number of calls and amount of memory.
- Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in largely
similar code sites.
- In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene" Johannes
Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of migratetype requests,
with resulting improvements in compaction efficiency.
- In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent" Baolin
Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should improve hugetlb
allocation reliability.
- Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when memory
almost met memcg limit".
- In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting" Kairui
Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10% performance
improvement in one test.

initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
free_area_init_core()".

lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when the feature is enabled. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory allocation profiling instrumentation. Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation profiling by default.

arm64: unwind: add asynchronous unwind tables to kernel and modules
Enable asynchronous unwind table generation for both the core kernel as well as modules, and emit the resulting .eh_frame sections as init code so we can use the unwind directives for code patching at boot or module load time. This will be used by dynamic shadow call stack support, which will rely on code patching rather than compiler codegen to emit the shadow call stack push and pop instructions.

cfi: Switch to -fsanitize=kcfi
Switch from Clang's original forward-edge control-flow integrity implementation to -fsanitize=kcfi, which is better suited for the kernel, as it doesn't require LTO, doesn't use a jump table that requires altering function references, and won't break cross-module function address equality.

modules: Ensure natural alignment for .altinstructions and __bug_table sections
In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32- and/or 64-bit values. Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime. Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers (which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I noticed that issue at all). This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time. It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those sections by default.

module: combine constructors in module linker script
The constructor code for modules must be aware of init code inside different sections. Newer GCC compilers write constructors in more than one section, e.g. ".ctors.65435". These must be combined into a single ".ctors" section. In the module loader, only the ".ctors" section is searched and the constructors therein are initialized, when CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=y is set. Other constructors are ignored. This change combines all ".ctors.*" and the ".ctors" section, if any, in <module>.ko into a single ."ctors" section. For code coverage in GCC, this is necessary to show the code coverage for modules, since code coverage uses such constructors when initializing a module in newer version of GCC.

module: ensure __cfi_check alignment
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW assumes the __cfi_check() function is page aligned and at the beginning of the .text section. While Clang would normally align the function correctly, it fails to do so for modules with no executable code. This change ensures the correct __cfi_check() location and alignment. It also discards the .eh_frame section, which Clang can generate with certain sanitizers, such as CFI.

kbuild: lto: Merge module sections if and only if CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled
Merge module sections only when using Clang LTO. With ld.bfd, merging
sections does not appear to update the symbol tables for the module,
e.g. 'readelf -s' shows the value that a symbol would have had, if
sections were not merged. ld.lld does not show this problem.
The stale symbol table breaks gdb's function disassembler, and presumably
other things, e.g.
gdb -batch -ex "file arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko" -ex "disassemble kvm_init"
reads the wrong bytes and dumps garbage.

Modules updates for v5.12
Summary of modules changes for the 5.12 merge window:
- Retire EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). These export
types were introduced between 2006 - 2008. All the of the unused symbols have
been long removed and gpl future symbols were converted to gpl quite a long
time ago, and I don't believe these export types have been used ever since.
So, I think it should be safe to retire those export types now. (Christoph Hellwig)
- Refactor and clean up some aged code cruft in the module loader (Christoph Hellwig)
- Build {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol only when livepatching is enabled, as
it is the only caller (Christoph Hellwig)
- Unexport find_module() and module_mutex and fix the last module
callers to not rely on these anymore. Make module_mutex internal to
the module loader. (Christoph Hellwig)
- Harden ELF checks on module load and validate ELF structures before checking
the module signature (Frank van der Linden)
- Fix undefined symbol warning for clang (Fangrui Song)
- Fix smatch warning (Dan Carpenter)

module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*
EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL* is not actually used anywhere. Remove the unused functionality as we generally just remove unused code anyway.

module: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE
As far as I can tell this has never been used at all, and certainly not any time recently. Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> |

kbuild: lto: merge module sections
LLD always splits sections with LTO, which increases module sizes. This change adds linker script rules to merge the split sections in the final module.

kbuild: preprocess module linker script
There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512) The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by 'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created by 'make modules_prepare'. You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by 'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from scripts/module.lds.S. scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the build artifacts under scripts/. You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.
