When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.
This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.
Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:
blacklisting initcall foo_bar
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

Pertially revert commit ea676e846a ("init/main.c: convert to
pr_foo()").
Unbeknownst to me, pr_debug() is different from the other pr_foo()
levels: pr_debug() is a no-op when DEBUG is not defined.
Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break
initcall_debug. But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be
dependent upon the presence of that #define DEBUG.

This doesn't really hurt but unnecessary and misleading. init_task is the

only be used as ->active_mm, not as ->mm.
mm_init_owner() has a single caller with this patch, perhaps it should

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.
To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h

Commit 73f7d1ca32 (ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before
timekeeping_init()) optimistically moved the early ACPI initialization
before timekeeping_init(), but that didn't work, because it broke fast
TSC calibration for Julian Wollrath on Thinkpad x121e (and most likely
for others too). The reason is that acpi_early_init() enables the SCI
and that interferes with the fast TSC calibration mechanism.
Thus follow the original idea to execute acpi_early_init() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode() to help the EFI people for now and we can
revisit the other problem that commit 73f7d1ca32 attempted to
address in the future (if really necessary).

cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
representation is maintained which is queried by vfs. Unfortunately,
cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
accumulated even more problems over time.
Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
probably the most egregious. vfs is never designed to be misused like
this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
make things work. Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.
Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
users other than sysfs. This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
which will bring the following benefits.
* Separation from vfs internals. Locking and object lifetime
management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
simpler. This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
operations.
* Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
provided by kernfs.
* Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
about lingering file accesses after offline.
While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
discrete step making this patch rather large. The rest of the commit
message lists notable changes in different areas.
Overall
-------
* vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones. cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.
* All dentry accessors are removed. Helpers to map from kernfs
constructs are added.
* All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.
* cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
proceeds to create a new one if not found.
Synchronization and object lifetime
-----------------------------------
* vfs inode locking removed. Among other things, this removes the
need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit(). Future patches
will further simplify it.
* vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones. cgroup->refcnt,
cgroupfs_root->refcnt added. cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
when refcnt reaches zero.
* Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects. When
cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
and the association is broken immediately. The same for
cgroupfs_roots and mounts.
* All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build(). For these two,
kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
under RCU read lock.
File and directory handling
---------------------------
* File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
kernfs_syscall_ops.
* xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs. No need to worry about it
from cgroup. This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
necessary. A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
when sane_behavior.
* When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
to handle it.
* cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
per cftype.
* Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
No need to worry about them from cgroup. cfent, cgroup_open_file
and their friends are removed.
* kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
committed.
* cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
self-removal.
v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
necessary because root was being created before checking for
existing ones. Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
mount failure.
As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
value on failure.
- The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
rejected. This was handled by a separate matching loop under
the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
got lost during conversion. Merge the check into the main
search loop.
- Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
warning reported by kbuild test bot. Maybe we want an explicit
interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?
v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.
The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.
To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.
As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

"The work to convert the kernel to use kuid_t and kgid_t has been
finished since 3.12 so it is time to remove the scaffolding that
allowed the work to progress incrementally.
The first patch on this branch just removes the scaffolding, ensuring
we will always get compile errors if people accidentally try the
userspace and the kernel uid and gid types. The second patch an
overlooked and unused chunk of mips code that that fails to build
after the first patch.
The code hasn't been in linux-next for long (as I was out of it and
could not sheppared the cold properly) but the patch has been around
for a long time just waiting for the day when I had finished the
uid/gid conversions. Putting the code in linux-next did find the
compile failure on mips so I took the time to get that fix reviewed
and included. Beyond that I am not too worried about errors because
all these two patches do is delete a modest amount of code"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.
The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.
Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.
Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
current code from bootmem users points of view.
Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And
the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fall back to
exiting bootmem APIs.

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.
Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.
To make sure that it really works this time, some numbers from my test
machine (just booted, no load):
Before:
# grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
kmalloc-96 31987 32190 128 30 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1073 1073 92
After:
# grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
page->ptl 27516 28143 72 53 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 531 531 9
kmalloc-96 3853 5280 128 30 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 176 176 0
Note that the patch is useful not only for debug case, but also for
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlock_t is always bloated.

This is a variant patch from Rafael J. Wysocki's
ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode()
According to Matt Fleming, if acpi_early_init() was executed before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), the EFI initialization could benefit from
it, so Rafael's patch makes that happen.
And, we want accessing ACPI TAD device to set system clock, so move
acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init(). This final position is
also before efi_enter_virtual_mode().

Merge v3.12 based patch series to move cgroup_event implementation to
memcg into for-3.14. The following two commits cause a conflict in
kernel/cgroup.c
2ff2a7d03b ("cgroup: kill css_id")
79bd9814e5 ("cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg")
Each patch removes a struct definition from kernel/cgroup.c. As the
two are adjacent, they cause a context conflict. Easily resolved by
removing both structs.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
cgroup_event is way over-designed and tries to build a generic
flexible event mechanism into cgroup - fully customizable event
specification for each user of the interface. This is utterly
unnecessary and overboard especially in the light of the planned
unified hierarchy as there's gonna be single agent. Simply generating
events at fixed points, or if that's too restrictive, configureable
cadence or single set of configureable points should be enough.
Thankfully, memcg is the only user and gets to keep it. Replacing it
with something simpler on sane_behavior is strongly recommended.
This patch moves cgroup_event and "cgroup.event_control"
implementation to mm/memcontrol.c. Clearing of events on cgroup
destruction is moved from cgroup_destroy_locked() to
mem_cgroup_css_offline(), which shouldn't make any noticeable
difference.
cgroup_css() and __file_cft() are exported to enable the move;
however, this will soon be reverted once the event code is updated to
be memcg specific.
Note that "cgroup.event_control" will now exist only on the hierarchy
with memcg attached to it. While this change is visible to userland,
it is unlikely to be noticeable as the file has never been meaningful
outside memcg.
Aside from the above change, this is pure code relocation.

poll.h inclusion moved from cgroup.c to memcontrol.c.

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
"In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
taking over as maintainer of that code.
Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"
and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:
"Okay. There are a number of separate bits. I'll go over the big bits
and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
fixes and cleanups. If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
do that too.
(1) Keyring capacity expansion.
KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
Add a generic associative array implementation.
KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring
Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
keyring. Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box. However, since the NFS idmapper uses
a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
the cause.
Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
may point to a single key. This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
struct into the key struct for this purpose.
I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
in the keyring. It would, however, be able to use much existing code.
I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio. I could have used the
radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
the whole radix tree. Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.
So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
type pointer and the key description. This means that an exact lookup by
type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
the target key.
I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
pointer. It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
also. FS-Cache might, for example.
(2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.
KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing
These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
addition or linkage of trusted keys.
Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
during build are marked as being trusted automatically. New keys can be
loaded at runtime with add_key(). They are checked against the system
keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
thus be added into the master keyring.
Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.
(3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.
X.509: Remove certificate date checks
It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
loaded - so just remove those checks.
(4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.
KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate
The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.
(5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.
KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs
Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
easily.
To make this work, two things were needed:
(a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.
The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
happens), so neither of these places is suitable.
I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
created for each UID on request. Each time a user requests their
persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew. If the user
doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
expired and garbage collected using the existing gc. All the kerberos
tokens it held are then also gc'd.
(b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).
The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
of auxiliary data attached. We don't, however, want to eat up huge
tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
inode and a dentry overhead. If the ticket is smaller than that, we
slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

This reverts commit ea1e7ed337.
Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything. If we really do
want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
the patch fully.

This reverts commit 69f0554ec2.
This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and
most likely on others. There is work underway to support uncompressed
kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to
rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link:
for info.
Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix.
