Cleanup some deprecated uses of strncpy() and strcpy() [1].
There doesn't seem to be any bugs with the current code but the
readability of this code could benefit from a quick makeover while
removing some deprecated stuff as a benefit.
The most interesting replacement made in this patch involves
concatenating "ttyS" with a digit-led user-supplied string. Instead of
doing two distinct string copies with carefully managed offsets and
lengths, let's use the more robust and self-explanatory scnprintf().
scnprintf will 1) respect the bounds of @buf, 2) null-terminate @buf, 3)
do the concatenation. This allows us to drop the manual NUL-byte assignment.
Also, since isdigit() is used about a dozen lines after the open-coded
version we'll replace it for uniformity's sake.
All the strcpy() --> strscpy() replacements are trivial as the source
strings are literals and much smaller than the destination size. No
behavioral change here.
Use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). However, to make
this work fully (since the size must be known at compile time), also
update the extern-qualified declaration to have the proper size
information.

Add a generic function console_replay_all() for replaying
the kernel log on consoles, in any context. It would allow
viewing the logs on an unresponsive terminal via sysrq.
Reuse the existing code from console_flush_on_panic() for
resetting the sequence numbers, by introducing a new helper
function __console_rewind_all(). It is safe to be called
under console_lock().
Try to acquire lock on the console subsystem without waiting.
If successful, reset the sequence number to oldest available
record on all consoles and call console_unlock() which will
automatically flush the messages to the consoles.

If add_preferred_console() is not called early in setup_console(), we can
end up having register_console() call try_enable_default_console() before a
console device has called add_preferred_console().
Let's set console_set_on_cmdline flag in console_setup() to prevent this
from happening.

Currently console_setup() tries to make a console index out of any digits
passed in the kernel command line for console. In the DEVNAME:0.0 case,
the name can contain a device IO address, so bail out on console names
with a ':'.

Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the
character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup()
with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well.
The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles
are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much
about the character device names and device drivers getting probed.
To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the
kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a
driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's
add a new function add_preferred_console_match().
This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style
hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style
naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing
to the driver subsystem specific code.
We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character
device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And
eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the
subsystem is ready to handle the console.
Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a
flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline.
And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But
that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then
adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.
In particular, for setup() we have:
univ8250_console_setup()
-> serial8250_console_setup()
-> uart_set_options()
-> serial8250_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_divisor()
For config_port() we have:
serial8250_config_port()
-> autoconfig()
For pm() we have:
serial8250_pm()
-> serial8250_do_pm()
-> serial8250_set_sleep()
For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):
serial8250_set_mctrl()
-> omap8250_set_mctrl()
-> __omap8250_set_mctrl()
To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.
Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().
Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.
And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of

accordingly.
And also do renaming as follows:
- arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}

Commit 13fb0f74d702 ("printk: Avoid livelock with heavy printk
during panic") introduced a mechanism to silence non-panic CPUs
if too many messages are being dropped. Aside from trying to
workaround the livelock bugs of legacy consoles, it was also
intended to avoid losing panic messages. However, if non-panic
CPUs are writing to the ringbuffer, then reacting to dropped
messages is too late.
Another motivation is that non-finalized messages already might
be skipped in panic(). In other words, random messages from
non-panic CPUs might already get lost. It is better to ignore
all to avoid confusion.
To avoid losing panic CPU messages, silence non-panic CPUs
immediately on panic.

The commit d51507098ff91 ("printk: disable optimistic spin
during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
if a panic is in progress.
However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.
Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
console_lock_spinning_enable()

This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.
Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
completely during panic().
Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
synchronously.
The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
spinning.

Currently pr_flush() will only wait for records that were
available to readers at the time of the call (using
prb_next_seq()). But there may be more records (non-finalized)
that have following finalized records. pr_flush() should wait
for these to print as well. Particularly because any trailing
finalized records may be the messages that the calling context
wants to ensure are printed.
Add a new ringbuffer function prb_next_reserve_seq() to return
the sequence number following the most recently reserved record.
This guarantees that pr_flush() will wait until all current
printk() messages (completed or in progress) have been printed.

because @suppress_panic_printk is only set when

use the concise helper function other_cpu_in_progress(). The

CAP_SYSLOG was separated from CAP_SYS_ADMIN and introduced in Linux
2.6.37 (2010-11). For a long time, certain syslog actions required
CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYSLOG. Maybe it’s time to officially remove
CAP_SYS_ADMIN for more fine-grained control.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN was once removed but added back for backwards
compatibility reasons. In commit 38ef4c2e437d ("syslog: check cap_syslog
when dmesg_restrict") (2010-12), CAP_SYS_ADMIN was no longer needed. And
in commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
(2011-02), it was accepted again. Since then, CAP_SYS_ADMIN has been
preserved.
Now that almost 13 years have passed, the legacy application may have
had enough time to be updated.

pr_flush() does not guarantee that all messages would really get flushed
to the console. The best it could do is to wait with a given timeout.[*]
The current interval 100ms for checking the progress might seem too
long in some situations. For example, such delays are not appreciated
during suspend and resume especially when the consoles have been flushed
"long" time before the check.
On the other hand, the sleeping wait might be useful in other situations.
Especially, it would allow flushing the messages using printk kthreads
on the same CPU[*].
Use msleep(1) as a compromise.
Also measure the time using jiffies. msleep() does not guarantee
precise wakeup after the given delay. It might be much longer,
especially for times < 20s. See Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst
for more details.
Note that msecs_to_jiffies() already translates a negative value into
an infinite timeout.
[*] console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing the consoles since
the commit dbdda842fe96f893 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").
It would be possible to guarantee it another way. For example,
the spinning might be enabled only when the console_lock has been
taken via console_trylock().
But the load balancing is helpful. And more importantly, the flush
with a timeout has been added as a preparation step for introducing
printk kthreads.

Commit 9e70a5e109a4 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.
However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.
Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.
Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages
since the commit dbdda842fe96f89 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter

When CONFIG_PRINTK is not set, PRINTK_MESSAGE_MAX is 0. This
leads to a zero-sized array @outbuf in @printk_shared_pbufs. In
console_flush_all() a pointer to the first element of the array
is assigned with:
char *outbuf = &printk_shared_pbufs.outbuf[0];
For !CONFIG_PRINTK this leads to a compiler warning:
warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of
'char[0]' [-Warray-bounds]
This is not really dangerous because printk_get_next_message()
always returns false for !CONFIG_PRINTK, which leads to @outbuf
never being used. However, it makes no sense to even compile
these functions for !CONFIG_PRINTK.
Extend the existing '#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK' block to contain
the formatting and emitting functions since these have no
purpose in !CONFIG_PRINTK. This also allows removing several
more !CONFIG_PRINTK dummies as well as moving
@suppress_panic_printk into a CONFIG_PRINTK block.

console_prepend_dropped() functions to retrieve/build the output
message. The emit function includes the required safety points to
check for handover/takeover and calls a new write_atomic callback
of the console driver to output the message. It also includes
proper handling for updating the nbcon console sequence number.
A new nbcon_write_context struct is introduced. This is provided
to the write_atomic callback and includes only the information
necessary for performing atomic writes.

Add an atomic_long_t field @nbcon_seq to the console struct to
store the sequence number for nbcon consoles. For nbcon consoles
this will be used instead of the non-atomic @seq field. The new
field allows for safe atomic sequence number updates without
requiring any locking.
On 64bit systems the new field stores the full sequence number.
On 32bit systems the new field stores the lower 32 bits of the
sequence number, which are expanded to 64bit as needed by
folding the values based on the sequence numbers available in
the ringbuffer.
For 32bit systems, having a 32bit representation in the console
is sufficient. If a console ever gets more than 2^31 records
behind the ringbuffer then this is the least of the problems.

In case of hostile takeovers it must be ensured that the previous
owner cannot scribble over the output buffer of the emergency/panic
context. This is achieved by:
- Adding a global output buffer instance for the panic context.
This is the only situation where hostile takeovers can occur and
there is always at most 1 panic context.
- Allocating an output buffer per non-boot console upon console
registration. This buffer is used by the console owner when not
in panic context. (For boot consoles, the existing shared global
legacy output buffer is used instead. Boot console printing will
be synchronized with legacy console printing.)
- Choosing the appropriate buffer is handled in the acquire/release
functions.

The current console/printk subsystem is protected by a Big Kernel Lock,
(aka console_lock) which has ill defined semantics and is more or less
stateless. This puts severe limitations on the console subsystem and
makes forced takeover and output in emergency and panic situations a
fragile endeavour that is based on try and pray.
The goal of non-BKL (nbcon) consoles is to break out of the console lock
jail and to provide a new infrastructure that avoids the pitfalls and
also allows console drivers to be gradually converted over.
The proposed infrastructure aims for the following properties:
- Per console locking instead of global locking
- Per console state that allows to make informed decisions
- Stateful handover and takeover
As a first step, state is added to struct console. The per console state
is an atomic_t using a 32bit bit field.
Reserve state bits, which will be populated later in the series. Wire
it up into the console register/unregister functionality.
It was decided to use a bitfield because using a plain u32 with
mask/shift operations resulted in uncomprehensible code.

Currently the global @console_suspended is used to determine if
consoles are in a suspended state. Its primary purpose is to allow
usage of the console_lock when suspended without causing console
printing. It is synchronized by the console_lock.
Rather than relying on the console_lock to determine suspended
state, make it an official per-console state that is set within
console->flags. This allows the state to be queried via SRCU.
Remove @console_suspended. Console printing will still be avoided
when suspended because console_is_usable() returns false when

Printing to consoles can be deferred for several reasons:
- explicitly with printk_deferred()
- printk() in NMI context
- recursive printk() calls
The current implementation is not consistent. For printk_deferred(),
irq work is scheduled twice. For NMI und recursive, panic CPU
suppression and caller delays are not properly enforced.
Correct these inconsistencies by consolidating the deferred printing
code so that vprintk_deferred() is the top-level function for
deferred printing and vprintk_emit() will perform whichever irq_work
queueing is appropriate.
Also add kerneldoc for wake_up_klogd() and defer_console_output() to
clarify their differences and appropriate usage.

Currently console_flush_on_panic() will attempt to acquire the
console lock when flushing the buffer on panic. If it fails to
acquire the lock, it continues anyway because this is the last
chance to get any pending records printed.
The reason why the console lock was attempted at all was to
prevent any other CPUs from acquiring the console lock for
printing while the panic CPU was printing. But as of the
previous commit, non-panic CPUs will no longer attempt to
acquire the console lock in a panic situation. Therefore it is
no longer strictly necessary for a panic CPU to acquire the
console lock.
Avoiding taking the console lock when flushing in panic has
the additional benefit of avoiding possible deadlocks due to
semaphore usage in NMI context (semaphores are not NMI-safe)
and avoiding possible deadlocks if another CPU accesses the
semaphore and is stopped while holding one of the semaphore's
internal spinlocks.

When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the
console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already
implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked
after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid
trying to acquire the console lock during a panic.
Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when
called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.

A semaphore is not NMI-safe, even when using down_trylock(). Both
down_trylock() and up() are using internal spinlocks and up()
might even call wake_up_process().
In the panic() code path it gets even worse because the internal
spinlocks of the semaphore may have been taken by a CPU that has
been stopped.
To reduce the risk of deadlocks caused by the console semaphore in
the panic path, make the following changes:
- First check if any consoles have implemented the unblank()
callback. If not, then there is no reason to take the console
semaphore anyway. (This check is also useful for the non-panic
path since the locking/unlocking of the console lock can be
quite expensive due to console printing.)
- If the panic path is in NMI context, bail out without attempting
to take the console semaphore or calling any unblank() callbacks.
Bailing out is acceptable because console_unblank() would already
bail out if the console semaphore is contended. The alternative of
ignoring the console semaphore and calling the unblank() callbacks
anyway is a bad idea because these callbacks are also not NMI-safe.
If consoles with unblank() callbacks exist and console_unblank() is
called from a non-NMI panic context, it will still attempt a
down_trylock(). This could still result in a deadlock if one of the
stopped CPUs is holding the semaphore internal spinlock. But this
is a risk that the kernel has been (and continues to be) willing
to take.

which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.
This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.
Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

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"

The console tracepoint is used by kcsan/kasan/kfence/kmsan test modules.
Since this tracepoint is not exported, these modules iterate over all
available tracepoints to find the console trace point. Export the trace
point so that it can be directly used.
