The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

'--build-id' is passed to $(LD), so it should be tested by 'ld-option'.
This seems a kind of misconversion when ld-option was renamed to
cc-ldoption.
Commit f86fd30660 ("kbuild: rename ld-option to cc-ldoption") renamed
all instances of 'ld-option' to 'cc-ldoption'.
Then, commit 691ef3e7fd ("kbuild: introduce ld-option") re-added
'ld-option' as a new implementation.

Currently, sparse issues warnings on code using an attribute
it doesn't know about.
One of the problem with this is that these warnings have no
value for the developer, it's just noise for him. At best these
warnings tell something about some deficiencies of sparse itself
but not about a potential problem with code analyzed.
A second problem with this is that sparse release are, alas,
less frequent than new attributes are added to GCC.
So, avoid the noise by asking sparse to not warn about
attributes it doesn't know about.

The comment above the silentoldconfig invocation is outdated.
'make oldconfig' updates just .config and doesn't touch the
include/config/ tree.
This came up in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/12/415.
While fixing the comment, make it more informative by explaining the
purpose of the unfortunately named silentoldconfig.
I can't make sense of the comment re. auto.conf.cmd and a cleaned tree.
include/config/auto.conf and include/config/auto.conf.cmd are both
created simultaneously by silentoldconfig (in
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c, by conf_write_autoconf()), and nothing seems
to remove auto.conf.cmd that wouldn't remove auto.conf. Remove that part
of the comment rather than blindly copying it. It might be a leftover
from an older way of doing things.
The include/config/auto.conf.cmd prerequisite might be there to ensure
that silentoldconfig gets rerun if conf_write_autoconf() fails between
writing out auto.conf.cmd and auto.conf (a comment in the function
indicates that auto.conf is deliberately written out last to mark
completion of the operation). It seems the Makefile dependency between
include/config/auto.conf and .config would already take care of that
though, since include/config/auto.conf would still be out of date re.
.config if the operation fails.
Cop out and leave the prerequisite in for now.

Nearly all modern compilers support a stack-protector option, and nearly
all modern distributions enable the kernel stack-protector, so enabling
this by default in kernel builds would make sense. However, Kconfig does
not have knowledge of available compiler features, so it isn't safe to
force on, as this would unconditionally break builds for the compilers or
architectures that don't have support. Instead, this introduces a new
option, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO, which attempts to discover the best
possible stack-protector available, and will allow builds to proceed even
if the compiler doesn't support any stack-protector.
This option is made the default so that kernels built with modern
compilers will be protected-by-default against stack buffer overflows,
avoiding things like the recent BlueBorne attack. Selection of a specific
stack-protector option remains available, including disabling it.
Additionally, tiny.config is adjusted to use CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, since
that's the option with the least code size (and it used to be the default,
so we have to explicitly choose it there now).

Various portions of the kernel, especially per-architecture pieces,
need to know if the compiler is building with the stack protector.
This was done in the arch/Kconfig with 'select', but this doesn't
allow a way to do auto-detected compiler support. In preparation for
creating an on-if-available default, move the logic for the definition of
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR into the Makefile.

In order to make stack-protector failures warn instead of unconditionally

and sets a flag for later testing. Future patches can choose to warn or
fail, depending on the flag value.

With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.
The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.
The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

Currently, GCC disables -Wunused-const-variable, but not
-Wunused-variable, so warns unused variables if they are
non-constant.
While, Clang does not warn unused variables at all regardless of
the const qualifier because -Wno-unused-const-variable is implied
by the stronger option -Wno-unused-variable.
Disable -Wunused-const-variable instead of -Wunused-variable so that
GCC and Clang work in the same way.

A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates. I have to mention the lexer
and parser of Kconfig are now built from real .l and .y sources.
So, flex and bison are the requirement for building the kernel.
Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for a long time. This
change has been tested several weeks in linux-next, and I did not
receive any problem report about this.
Summary:
- Add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in
choice, help is doubled
- Document data structure and complex code
- Fix various memory leaks
- Change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
pre-generated C files
- Drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
- Use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
- Fix gettext() check for xconfig
- Announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
- Make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and
search result
- Hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people
- Fix misc things and cleanups

doesn't act like a user stack at all: it's much smaller, and it doesn't
auto-expand on use. So the extra "probe one page below the stack" code
generated by -fstack-check just breaks the kernel in horrible ways,
causing infinite double faults etc.
[ I have to say, that the particular code gcc generates looks very
stupid even for user space where it works, but that's a separate
issue. ]

Geert reported commit ae6b289a37 ("kbuild: Set KBUILD_CFLAGS before
incl. arch Makefile") broke cross-compilation using a cross-compiler
that supports less compiler options than the host compiler.
For example,
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable"
This problem happens on architectures that setup CROSS_COMPILE in their
arch/*/Makefile.
Move the cc-option and cc-disable-warning back to the original position,
but keep the Clang target options untouched.

Set the clang KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including arch/ Makefiles,

This fixes errors with clang such as ld-options trying to CC

"obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory
and link built-in.o from that directory. This means foo/Makefile is
responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to
link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive).
We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242e8 ("kbuild: Fix
linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up
with a complex condition as follows:
ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),)
builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o
endif
We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add
obj- := dummy.o
in several places just for creating empty built-in.o.
A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed
or not. If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can
tell the fact when descending.
If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o
should be created. $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the
single target "%/". All of ugly tricks will go away.

Most places use pwd and rely on $PATH lookup. Moving the remaining
absolute path /bin/pwd users over for consistency.
Also, a reason for doing /bin/pwd -> pwd instead of the other way around
is because I believe build systems should make little assumptions on
host filesystem layout. Case in point, we do this kind of patching
already in NixOS.

One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and
their results. The speed-up should be noticeable.
Summary:
- Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)
- Clean up various Makefiles and scripts
- Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles
- Cache variables that are expensive to compute
- Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang
- Optimize output directory creation

This tag contains the core RISC-V Linux port, which has been through
nine rounds of review on various mailing lists. The port is not
complete: there's some cleanup patches moving through the review
process, a whole bunch of drivers that need some work, and a lot of
feature additions that will be needed.
The patches contained in this tag have been through nine rounds of
review on the various mailing lists. I have some outstanding cleanup
patches, but since there's been so much review on these patches I
thought it would be best to submit them as-is and then submit explicit
cleanup patches so everyone can review them. This first patch set is
big enough that it's a bit of a pain to constantly rewrite, and it's
caused a few headaches with various contributors.
The port is definately a work in progress. While what's there builds
and boots with 4.14, it's a bit hard to actually see anything happen
because there are no device drivers yet. I maintain a staging branch
that contains all the device drivers and cleanup that actually works,
but those patches won't all be ready for a while. I'd like to get what
we currently have into your tree so everyone can start working from a
single base -- of particular importance is allowing the glibc
upstreaming process to proceed so we can sort out any possibly lingering
user-visible ABI problems we might have.
Copied below is the ChangeLog that contains the history of this patch
set:
(v9) As per suggestions on our v8 patch set, I've split the core architecture code
out from our drivers and would like to submit this patch set to be included
into linux-next, with the goal being to be merged in during the next merge
window. This patch set is based on 4.14-rc2, but if it's better to have it
based on something else then I can change it around.
This patch set contains just the core arch code for RISC-V, so while it builds
an nominally boots, you can't print or take an interrupt so it's not that
useful. If you're looking to actually boot a system it would probably be
better to use the full patch set listed below.
We've collected a handful of tags from reviewers, and the remainder of the
patch set only got minimal feedback last time. Here's what changed:
* We now use the device tree to initialize the timer driver so it's less
tighly coupled with the arch port.
* I cleaned up the defconfigs -- there's actually now just one, and it's
empty. For now I think we're OK with what the kernel sets as defaults, but
I anticipate we'll begin to expand this as people start to use the port
more.
* The VDSO symbols version is sane.
* We WFI while spinning in the boot loop.
* A handful of comments have been added.
While there are still a handful of FIXMEs in this patch set, we've started to
get enough interest from various users and contributors that maintaining an out
of tree patch set is starting to become a big burden. Hopefully the patches
are good enough to merge now, which will at least get everyone working in a
more reasonable manner as we clean up the remaining issues.
This patch set is also availiable on github
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v9-arch
as is the entire patch set necessary to get a more functional RISC-V system up
and running, including a handful of patches that aren't ready for upstream yet.
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v9
Hopefully I've managed to get everyone's feedback
Here's the change highlights from the whole patch set:
(v8) I know it may not be the ideal time to submit a patch set right now, as
it's the middle of the merge window, but things have calmed down quite a bit in
the last month so I thought it would be good to get everyone on the same page.
There's been a handful of changes since the last patch set, but most of them
are fairly minor:
* We changed PAGE_OFFSET to allowing mapping more physical memory on 64-bit
systems. This is user configurable, as it triggers a different code model
that generates slightly less efficient code.
* The device tree binding documentation is back, I'd managed to lose it at some
point.
* We now pass the atomic64 test suite. The SBI timer driver has been
* refactored.
(v7) It's been a while since my last patch set, but the changes han been fairly
minimal:
* The PCI cleanup patches have been dropped, we'll do them as a separate patch
set later.
* We've the Kconfig entries from CONFIG_ISA_* to CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_*, to make
grep easier.
* There have been a handful of memory model related tweaks in I/O land,
particularly relating the PCI and the upcoming platform specification.
There are significant comments in the relevant files. This is still a WIP,
but I think we're close to getting as good as we're going to get until we
end up with some more specifications.
(v6) As it's been only a day since the v5 patch set, the changes are pretty
minimal:
* The patch set is now based on linux-next/master, which I believe is a better
base now that we're getting closer to upstream.
* EARLY_PRINTK is no longer an option. Since the SBI console is reasonable,
there's no penalty to enabling it (and thus no benefit to disabling it).
* The mmap syscalls were refactored a bit.
(v5) Things have really started to calm down, so this is fairly similar to the
v4 patch set. The most interesting changes include:
* We've moved back to a single patch set.
* SMP support has been fixed, I was accidentally running on a non-SMP
configuration. There were various mistakes all over the tree as a result of
this.
* The cmpxchg syscalls have been removed, as they were deemed a bad idea. As
a result, RISC-V Linux systems mandate the A extension. The corresponding
Kconfig entry to enable builds on non-A systems has been removed.
* A few more atomic fixes: mostly fence changes, but those resulted in a
handful of additional macros that were no longer necessary.
* riscv_early_sie has been removed.
(v4) There have only been a few changes since the v3 patch set:
* The cmpxchg64 syscall is no longer enabled on 32-bit systems. It's not
possible to provide this on SMP systems, and it's not necessary as glibc
knows not to call it.
* We provide a ELF_HWCAP so users can determine the ISA of the machine the
kernel is running on.
* The multi-line comments are in a better form.
* There were a handful of headers that could be replaced with the asm-generic
versions, and a few unnecessary definitions.
* We no longer use printk, but instead use pr_*.
* A few Kconfig and defconfig entries have been cleaned up.
(v3) A highlight of the changes since the v2 patch set includes:
* We've split out all our drivers into separate patch sets, which I've already
sent out to the relevant maintainers. I haven't included those patches in
this patch set, but some of them are necessary to build our port. A git
tree that contains all our patch sets merged together lives at
<https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v3>.
* The patch set is now split up differently: rather than being split per
directory it is split per topic. Hopefully this will make it easier to
review the port on the mailing list. The split is a bit rough, so you
probably still want to look at the patch set as a whole.
* atomic.h has been completely rewritten and is hopefully now correct. I've
attempted to sanitize the various other memory model related code as well,
and I think it should all be sane now aside from a handful of FIXMEs
commented in the code.
* We've changed the cmpexchg syscall to always exist and to not be
multiplexed. There is also a VDSO entry for compare and exchange, which
allows kernels with the A extension to execute user code without the A
extension reasonably fast.
* Our user-visible register state now contains enough space for the Q
extension for 128-bit floating point, as well as a few words to allow
extensibility to future ISA extensions like the eventual V extension for
vectors.
* A handful of driver cleanups, but these have been split into separate patch
sets now so I won't duplicate them here.
(v2) A highlight of the changes since the v1 patch set includes:
* We've split out our drivers into the right places, which means now there's
a lot more patches. I'll be submitting these patches to various subsystem
maintainers and including them in any future RISC-V patch sets until
they've been merged.
* The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use the HVC helpers
and is now significantly smaller.
* We've begun to use weaker barriers as opposed to just the big "fence".
There's still some work to do here, specifically:
- We need fences in the relaxed MMIO functions.
- The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.
- Many AMOs need the aq and rl bits set.
* We now have thread_info in task_struct. As a result, sscratch now contains
TP instead of SP. This was necessary because thread_info is no longer on
the stack.
* A few shared routines have been added that we use instead of creating
another arch copy.

means now there's a lot more patches. I'll be submitting
these patches to various subsystem maintainers and including
them in any future RISC-V patch sets until they've been
merged.
- The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use
the HVC helpers and is now significantly smaller.
- We've begun to use weaker barriers as opposed to just the big
"fence". There's still some work to do here, specifically:
- We need fences in the relaxed MMIO functions.
- The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.
- Many AMOs need the aq and rl bits set.
- We now have thread_info in task_struct. As a result, sscratch
now contains TP instead of SP. This was necessary because
thread_info is no longer on the stack.
- A few shared routines have been added that we use instead of
creating another arch copy"

"Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
the next merge window.
The main changes in this cycle were:
Hardware enablement:
- Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)
[ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]
- Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)
Other changes:
- A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
Lutomirski)
- Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)
- Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
FPU init code (Andi Kleen)
- Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)

Some $(call cc-option,...) are invoked very early, even before
KBUILD_CFLAGS, etc. are initialized.
The returned string from $(call cc-option,...) depends on
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, KBUILD_CFLAGS, and GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS.
Since they are exported, they are not empty when the top Makefile
is recursively invoked.
The recursion occurs in several places. For example, the top
Makefile invokes itself for silentoldconfig. "make tinyconfig",
"make rpm-pkg" are the cases, too.
In those cases, the second call of cc-option from the same line
runs a different shell command due to non-pristine KBUILD_CFLAGS.
To get the same result all the time, KBUILD_* and GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS
must be initialized before any call of cc-option. This avoids
garbage data in the .cache.mk file.
Move all calls of cc-option below the config targets because target
compiler flags are unnecessary for Kconfig.

These are a few stragglers that I left out of the original patch to
cache calls to the C compiler ("kbuild: Add a cache for generated
variables") because they bleed out into the main Makefile and thus
uglify things a little bit. The idea is the same here, though.

While timing a "no-op" build of the kernel (incrementally building the
kernel even though nothing changed) in the Chrome OS build system I
found that it was much slower than I expected.
Digging into things a bit, I found that quite a bit of the time was
spent invoking the C compiler even though we weren't actually building
anything. Currently in the Chrome OS build system the C compiler is
called through a number of wrappers (one of which is written in
python!) and can take upwards of 100 ms to invoke even if we're not
doing anything difficult, so these invocations of the compiler were
taking a lot of time. Worse the invocations couldn't seem to take
advantage of the multiple cores on my system.
Certainly it seems like we could make the compiler invocations in the
Chrome OS build system faster, but only to a point. Inherently
invoking a program as big as a C compiler is a fairly heavy
operation. Thus even if we can speed the compiler calls it made sense
to track down what was happening.
It turned out that all the compiler invocations were coming from
usages like this in the kernel's Makefile:
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks,)
Due to the way cc-option and similar statements work the above
contains an implicit call to the C compiler. ...and due to the fact
that we're storing the result in KBUILD_CFLAGS, a simply expanded
variable, the call will happen every time the Makefile is parsed, even
if there are no users of KBUILD_CFLAGS.
Rather than redoing this computation every time, it makes a lot of
sense to cache the result of all of the Makefile's compiler calls just
like we do when we compile a ".c" file to a ".o" file. Conceptually
this is quite a simple idea. ...and since the calls to invoke the
compiler and similar tools are centrally located in the Kbuild.include
file this doesn't even need to be super invasive.
Implementing the cache in a simple-to-use and efficient way is not
quite as simple as it first sounds, though. To get maximum speed we
really want the cache in a format that make can natively understand
and make doesn't really have an ability to load/parse files. ...but
make _can_ import other Makefiles, so the solution is to store the
cache in Makefile format. This requires coming up with a valid/unique
Makefile variable name for each value to be cached, but that's
solvable with some cleverness.
After this change, we'll automatically create a ".cache.mk" file that
will contain our cached variables. We'll load this on each invocation
of make and will avoid recomputing anything that's already in our
cache. The cache is stored in a format that it shouldn't need any
invalidation since anything that might change should affect the "key"
and any old cached value won't be used.

We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.
Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.
