The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Commit 0a0e2ea642f6 ("ACPI: processor: Move MWAIT quirk out of
acpi_processor.c") moved the MWAIT quirk code into arch/x86 but left
calls to it in the ACPI PDC processor code that is shared with Itanium,
breaking the latter build.
Since the quirk is specific to a certain x86-based platform, stub out
the function acpi_proc_quirk_mwait_check() when building for ia64.

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.
Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
(see [1] and [2]).
The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
inconsistent symlink semantics.
This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
inconsistencies.
In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
fchmodat2().
The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
beneficial to have separate patches"

Eric has pointed out that we still have 3 users of do_each_thread().
Change them to use for_each_process_thread() and kill this helper.
There is a subtle change, after do_each_thread/while_each_thread g == t ==
&init_task, while after for_each_process_thread() they both point to
nowhere, but this doesn't matter.
> Why is for_each_process_thread() better than do_each_thread()?
Say, for_each_process_thread() is rcu safe, do_each_thread() is not.
And certainly
for_each_process_thread(p, t) {
do_something(p, t);
}
looks better than
do_each_thread(p, t) {
do_something(p, t);
} while_each_thread(p, t);
And again, there are only 3 users of this awkward helper left. It should
have been killed years ago and in fact I thought it had already been
killed. It uses while_each_thread() which needs some changes.

IA64 is the only architecture which does not consider the pgoff value when
searching for a possible free memory region with vm_unmapped_area().
Adding this seems to have no negative side effect on IA64, so add it now
to make IA64 consistent with all other architectures.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
them:
- register_sysctl_table()
- register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3"

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").
Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

module_layout manages different types of memory (text, data, rodata, etc.)
in one allocation, which is problematic for some reasons:
1. It is hard to enable CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.
2. It is hard to use huge pages in modules (and not break strict rwx).
3. Many archs uses module_layout for arch-specific data, but it is not
obvious how these data are used (are they RO, RX, or RW?)
Improve the scenario by replacing 2 (or 3) module_layout per module with
up to 7 module_memory per module:
MOD_TEXT,
MOD_DATA,
MOD_RODATA,
MOD_RO_AFTER_INIT,
MOD_INIT_TEXT,
MOD_INIT_DATA,
MOD_INIT_RODATA,
and allocating them separately. This adds slightly more entries to
mod_tree (from up to 3 entries per module, to up to 7 entries per
module). However, this at most adds a small constant overhead to
__module_address(), which is expected to be fast.
Various archs use module_layout for different data. These data are put
into different module_memory based on their location in module_layout.
IOW, data that used to go with text is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT;
data that used to go with data is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_DATA, etc.
module_memory simplifies quite some of the module code. For example,
ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC is a lot cleaner, as it just uses a
different allocator for the data. kernel/module/strict_rwx.c is also
much cleaner with module_memory.

Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.
There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).
Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.
This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return. It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.
Also fixes the following warning:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

Commit aa47a7c215e7 ("lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits") resulted
in the cpumask operations potentially becoming hugely less efficient,
because suddenly the cpumask was always considered to be variable-sized.
The optimization was then later added back in a limited form by commit
6f9c07be9d02 ("lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option"), but that
FORCE_NR_CPUS option is not useful in a generic kernel and more of a
special case for embedded situations with fixed hardware.
Instead, just re-introduce the optimization, with some changes.
Instead of depending on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK being false, and then always
using the full constant cpumask width, this introduces three different
cpumask "sizes":
- the exact size (nr_cpumask_bits) remains identical to nr_cpu_ids.
This is used for situations where we should use the exact size.
- the "small" size (small_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it
fits in a single word and the bitmap operations thus end up able
to trigger the "small_const_nbits()" optimizations.
This is used for the operations that have optimized single-word
cases that get inlined, notably the bit find and scanning functions.
- the "large" size (large_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it
is an sufficiently small constant that makes simple "copy" and
"clear" operations more efficient.
This is arbitrarily set at four words or less.
As a an example of this situation, without this fixed size optimization,
cpumask_clear() will generate code like
movl nr_cpu_ids(%rip), %edx
addq $63, %rdx
shrq $3, %rdx
andl $-8, %edx
callq memset@PLT
on x86-64, because it would calculate the "exact" number of longwords
that need to be cleared.
In contrast, with this patch, using a MAX_CPU of 64 (which is quite a
reasonable value to use), the above becomes a single
movq $0,cpumask
instruction instead, because instead of caring to figure out exactly how
many CPU's the system has, it just knows that the cpumask will be a
single word and can just clear it all.
Note that this does end up tightening the rules a bit from the original
version in another way: operations that set bits in the cpumask are now
limited to the actual nr_cpu_ids limit, whereas we used to do the
nr_cpumask_bits thing almost everywhere in the cpumask code.
But if you just clear bits, or scan for bits, we can use the simpler
compile-time constants.
In the process, remove 'cpumask_complement()' and 'for_each_cpu_not()'
which were not useful, and which fundamentally have to be limited to
'nr_cpu_ids'. Better remove them now than have somebody introduce use
of them later.
Of course, on x86-64 with MAXSMP there is no sane small compile-time
constant for the cpumask sizes, and we end up using the actual CPU bits,
and will generate the above kind of horrors regardless. Please don't
use MAXSMP unless you really expect to have machines with thousands of
cores.

I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:
- 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
- d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")
They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.
I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.
For example, run the following commands:
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
UPD include/config/kernel.release
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.
However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.
This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.
There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.
With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd
***
*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=arm mrproper'

We currently pass a minimum major version to the generic EFI helper that
checks the system table magic and version, and refuse to boot if the
value is lower.
The motivation for this check is unknown, and even the code that uses
major version 2 as the minimum (ARM, arm64 and RISC-V) should make it
past this check without problems, and boot to a point where we have
access to a console or some other means to inform the user that the
firmware's major revision number made us unhappy. (Revision 2.0 of the
UEFI specification was released in January 2006, whereas ARM, arm64 and
RISC-V support where added in 2009, 2013 and 2017, respectively, so
checking for major version 2 or higher is completely arbitrary)
So just drop the check.

Since commit aa06a9bd8533 ("ia64: fix clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) to
report ITC frequency"), gcc 10.1.0 fails to build ia64 with the gnomic:
| ../arch/ia64/kernel/sys_ia64.c: In function 'ia64_clock_getres':
| ../arch/ia64/kernel/sys_ia64.c:189:3: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement
| 189 | s64 tick_ns = DIV_ROUND_UP(NSEC_PER_SEC, local_cpu_data->itc_freq);
This line appears immediately after a case label in a switch.
Move the declarations out of the case, to the top of the function.

Current arch_cpu_idle() is called with IRQs disabled, but will return
with IRQs enabled.
However, the very first thing the generic code does after calling
arch_cpu_idle() is raw_local_irq_disable(). This means that
architectures that can idle with IRQs disabled end up doing a
pointless 'enable-disable' dance.
Therefore, push this IRQ disabling into the idle function, meaning
that those architectures can avoid the pointless IRQ state flipping.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tp) is very precise on ia64 as it uses ITC
(similar to rdtsc on x86). It's not quite a hrtimer as it is a few times
slower than 1ns. Usually 2-3ns.
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) never reflected that fact and reported
0.04s precision (1/HZ value).
In https://bugs.gentoo.org/596382 gstreamer's test suite failed loudly
when it noticed precision discrepancy.
Before the change:
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reported 250Hz precision.
After the change:
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reports ITC (400Mhz) precision.
The patch is based on matoro's fix. I added a bit of explanation why we
need to special-case arch-specific clock_getres().
