When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code,

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Commit b9b32bf70f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
updated the linker script to emit the .vectors and .stubs sections into a
VMA range that is zero based and disjoint from the normal static kernel
region. The reason for that was that this way, the sections can be placed
exactly 4 KB apart, while the payload of the .vectors section is only 32
bytes.
Since the symbols that are part of the .stubs section are emitted into the
kallsyms table, they appear with zero based addresses as well, e.g.,
00001004 t vector_rst
00001020 t vector_irq
000010a0 t vector_dabt
00001120 t vector_pabt
000011a0 t vector_und
00001220 t vector_addrexcptn
00001240 t vector_fiq
00001240 T vector_fiq_offset
As this confuses perf when it accesses the kallsyms tables, commit
7122c3e915 ("scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for
arm") implemented a somewhat ugly special case for ARM, where the value
of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is passed to scripts/kallsyms, and symbols whose
addresses are below it are filtered out. Note that this special case only
applies to CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=n, not because the issue the patch addresses
exists only in that case, but because finding a limit below which to apply
the filtering is not entirely straightforward.
Since the .vectors and .stubs sections contain position independent code
that is never executed in place, we can emit it at its most likely runtime
VMA (for more recent CPUs), which is 0xffff0000 for the vector table and
0xffff1000 for the stubs. Not only does this fix the perf issue with
kallsyms, allowing us to drop the special case in scripts/kallsyms
entirely, it also gives debuggers a more realistic view of the address
space, and setting breakpoints or single stepping through code in the
vector table or the stubs is more likely to work as expected on CPUs that
use a high vector address. E.g.,
00001240 A vector_fiq_offset
...
c0c35000 T __init_begin
c0c35000 T __vectors_start
c0c35020 T __stubs_start
c0c35020 T __vectors_end
c0c352e0 T _sinittext
c0c352e0 T __stubs_end
...
ffff1004 t vector_rst
ffff1020 t vector_irq
ffff10a0 t vector_dabt
ffff1120 t vector_pabt
ffff11a0 t vector_und
ffff1220 t vector_addrexcptn
ffff1240 T vector_fiq
(Note that vector_fiq_offset is now an absolute symbol, which kallsyms
already ignores by default)
The LMA footprint is identical with or without this change, only the VMAs
are different:

When building an XIP kernel, the linker script needs to be much different
than a conventional kernel's script. Over time, it's been difficult to
maintain both XIP and non-XIP layouts in one linker script. Therefore,
this patch separates the two procedures into two completely different
files.
The new linker script is essentially a straight copy of the current script
with all the non-CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions removed.
Additionally, all CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions have been removed from the
existing linker script...never to return again.
It should be noted that this does not fix any current XIP issues, but
rather is the first move in fixing them properly with subsequent patches.

The use of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is generally seen as an essential part of
kernel self-protection:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2015/11/30/13
Additionally, its name has grown to mean things beyond just rodata. To
get ARM closer to this, we ought to rearrange the names of the configs
that control how the kernel protects its memory. What was called
CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS is realy doing the work that other architectures
call CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.
This redefines CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to actually do the bulk of the
ROing (and NXing). In the place of the old CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, use
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA, since that's what the option does: adds
section alignment for making rodata explicitly NX, as arm does not split
the page tables like arm64 does without _ALIGN_RODATA.
Also adds human readable names to the sections so I could more easily
debug my typos, and makes CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA default "y" for CPU_V7.
Results in /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for each config state:
# CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set

The HYP init bounce page is a runtime construct that ensures that the
HYP init code does not cross a page boundary. However, this is something
we can do perfectly well at build time, by aligning the code appropriately.
For arm64, we just align to 4 KB, and enforce that the code size is less
than 4 KB, regardless of the chosen page size.
For ARM, the whole code is less than 256 bytes, so we tweak the linker
script to align at a power of 2 upper bound of the code size
Note that this also fixes a benign off-by-one error in the original bounce
page code, where a bounce page would be allocated unnecessarily if the code
was exactly 1 page in size.
On ARM, it also fixes an issue with very large kernels reported by Arnd
Bergmann, where stub sections with linker emitted veneers could erroneously
trigger the size/alignment ASSERT() in the linker script.

the NX permission changes during free_initmem, so that init memory can be
reclaimed.
This uses section size instead of PMD size to reduce memory lost to
padding on non-LPAE systems.

the .comment section in an identical way, the second section definition
is redundant and can be removed.

Use linker magic to create the vectors and vector stubs: we can tell the
linker to place them at an appropriate VMA, but keep the LMA within the
kernel. This gets rid of some unnecessary symbol manipulation, and

The .notes, being read-only data by nature, were placed between
read-write .data and .bss. This was harmful in case of the XIP
kernel, as being placed in the RAM range, most likely far
from the ROM address, was inflating the XIP images.
Moving the .notes at the end of the read-only section
(consisting of .text, .rodata and unwind info) fixes the problem.

Add the ARM machine identifier to sortextable and select the

ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error:
Inconsistent kallsyms data
This is a bug - please report about it
Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround
The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker.
The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel
without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols
included. Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing
their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same
result.
On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty. Depending on the where the
alignment ends up, it can come out as either:
+-------------------+
| last text segment |
+-------------------+
/* padding */
+-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
| per cpu (empty) |
+-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
/* padding */
__data_loc:
+-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
| data |
+-------------------+
or
+-------------------+
| last text segment |
+-------------------+
/* padding */
+-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
| per cpu (empty) |
+-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
/* no padding */
__data_loc:
+-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
| data |
+-------------------+
if the alignment satisfies both. Because symbols that have the same
address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different
order than the first case. This changes the compression, changing the
size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure.
The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still
possible to have the alignment change between the second and third
pass. It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint.
The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty,
and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the
text segments). Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on
SMP, when it is not empty.

The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary.
Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry

cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a

This patch allocates a set of page tables during boot and populates them

users of the identity map do not need to manage their own pgd and can
instead annotate their functions with __idmap or, in the case of assembly

ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different
from other archtectures.
One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function
with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic
implementation doesn't have this problem.
Currently we get something like:
kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c
With this patch it displays:
kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4
This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up
a bug table containing the relevant information. Many versions of gcc do not
support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work
around this using distasteful macro magic.
v1: Initial version to replace existing ARM BUG() implementation with something
more similar to other architectures.
v2: Add Thumb support, remove backtrace whitespace output changes. Change to
use macros instead of requiring the asm %d flag to work (thanks to

We are seeing linker errors caused by sections being discarded, despite
the linker script trying to keep them. The result is (eg):
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of net/built-in.o
This is the relevent part of the linker script (reformatted to make it
clearer):
| SECTIONS
| {
| /*
| * unwind exit sections must be discarded before the rest of the
| * unwind sections get included.
| */
| /DISCARD/ : {
| *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text)
| *(.ARM.extab.exit.text)
| }
| ...
| .exit.text : {
| *(.exit.text)
| *(.memexit.text)
| }
| ...
| /DISCARD/ : {
| *(.exit.text)
| *(.memexit.text)
| *(.exit.data)
| *(.memexit.data)
| *(.memexit.rodata)
| *(.exitcall.exit)
| *(.discard)
| *(.discard.*)
| }
| }
Now, this is what the linker manual says about discarded output sections:
| The special output section name `/DISCARD/' may be used to discard
| input sections. Any input sections which are assigned to an output
| section named `/DISCARD/' are not included in the output file.
No questions, no exceptions. It doesn't say "unless they are listed
before the /DISCARD/ section." Now, this is what asn-generic/vmlinux.lds.S
says:
| /*
| * Default discarded sections.
| *
| * Some archs want to discard exit text/data at runtime rather than
| * link time due to cross-section references such as alt instructions,
| * bug table, eh_frame, etc. DISCARDS must be the last of output
| * section definitions so that such archs put those in earlier section
| * definitions.
| */
And guess what - the list _always_ includes .exit.text etc.
Now, what's actually happening is that the linker is reading the script,
and it finds the first /DISCARD/ output section at the beginning of the
script. It continues reading the script, and finds the 'DISCARD' macro
at the end, which having been postprocessed results in another
/DISCARD/ output section. As the linker already contains the earlier
/DISCARD/ output section, it adds it to that existing section, so it
effectively is placed at the start. This can be seen by using the -M
option to ld:
| Linker script and memory map
|
| 0xc037c080 jiffies = jiffies_64
|
| /DISCARD/
| *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text)
| *(.ARM.extab.exit.text)
| *(.exit.text)
| *(.memexit.text)
| *(.exit.data)
| *(.memexit.data)
| *(.memexit.rodata)
| *(.exitcall.exit)
| *(.discard)
| *(.discard.*)
|
| 0xc0008000 . = 0xc0008000
|
| .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0
| 0xc0008000 _text = .
| *(.head.text)
| .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0 arch/arm/kernel/head.o
| 0xc0008000 stext
|
| .text 0xc0008200 0x2d78d0
| 0xc0008200 _stext = .
| 0xc0008200 __exception_text_start = .
| *(.exception.text)
| .exception.text
| ...
As you can see, all the discarded sections are grouped together - and
as a result of it being the first output section, they all appear before
any other section.
The result is that not only is the unwind information discarded (as
intended), but also the .exit.text, despite us wanting to have the
.exit.text preserved.
We can't move the unwind information elsewhere, because it'll then be
included even when we do actually discard the .exit.text (and similar)
sections.
So, work around this by avoiding the generic DISCARDS macro, and instead
conditionalize the sections to be discarded ourselves. This avoids the
ambiguity in how the linker assigns input sections to output sections,
making our script less dependent on undocumented linker behaviour.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

Commit 18991197b4 added --build-id

reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.
The 1e621a8e37 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.
This problem was discussed here:

This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).
It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version,
which was then rewritten into this.
Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify
the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us
to achieve this with minimal loss of performance.
As many translations are of the form:
physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub'
instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET
- PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with
where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this
constant into the above add/sub instructions.
Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real
PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for
the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use.
At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled
as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a
constant which will not fit in our math instruction.
Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent
incompatible modules being loaded.
