tracing changes for 6.17
- Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory
/sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount
tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.
All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen in two
different locations has lead to various issues and inconsistencies.
The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for this
single user.
It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing the
debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was created in the
first place was to allow access to the tracing facilities without the need
to configure debugfs into the kernel. Using tracefs should now be more
robust.
A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED
which is default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount.
This config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
do so.
When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the following
printk is triggerd:
pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");
This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.
- Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters
The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number of
events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context can
potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to free them
instead.
- Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code
Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time ago with
the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what memory barriers are
for. They are to synchronize access between different variables. There was
no synchronization here making them pointless.
- Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format
When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and
PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with the
following:
field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
Turns into:
field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.
- Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS
Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another probe was
enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no config option
of their own. Add one as they should be a separate entity.
It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has dependencies on
TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.
- Add eprobe documentation
When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to describe
them. This needs to be rectified.
- Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()
- Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask
- Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event
DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment above
pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.
- Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag
The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling of
trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this approach
as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users required soft
disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a ref count. The
SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non zero. This is redundant
and just reading the ref count is good enough.

tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfs
In January 2015, tracefs was created to allow access to the tracing infrastructure without needing to compile in debugfs. When tracefs is configured, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing will exist and tooling is expected to use that path to access the tracing infrastructure. To allow backward compatibility, when debugfs is mounted, it would automount tracefs in its "tracing" directory so that tooling that had hard coded /sys/kernel/debug/tracing would still work. It has been over 10 years since the new interface was introduced, and all tooling should now be using it. Start the process of deprecating the old path so that it doesn't need to be maintained anymore. A new config is added to allow distributions to disable automounting of tracefs on debugfs. If /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is accessed, a pr_warn() will trigger stating: "NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030" Expect to remove this feature in 5 years (2030).

gpio: sysfs: export the GPIO directory locally in the gpiochip<id> directory
As a way to allow the user-space to stop referring to GPIOs by their global numbers, introduce a parallel group of line attributes for exported GPIO that live inside the GPIO chip class device and are referred to by their HW offset within their parent chip.

gpio: sysfs: add a parallel class device for each GPIO chip using device IDs
In order to enable moving away from the global GPIO numberspace-based exporting of lines over sysfs: add a parallel, per-chip entry under /sys/class/gpio/ for every registered GPIO chip, denoted by device ID in the file name and not its base GPIO number. Compared to the existing chip group: it does not contain the "base" attribute as the goal of this change is to not refer to GPIOs by their global number from user-space anymore. It also contains its own, per-chip export/unexport attribute pair which allow to export lines by their hardware offset within the chip. Caveat #1: the new device cannot be a link to (or be linked to by) the existing "gpiochip<BASE>" entry as we cannot create links in /sys/class/xyz/. Caveat #2: the new entry cannot be named "gpiochipX" as it could conflict with devices whose base is statically defined to a low number. Let's go with "chipX" instead. While at it: the chip label is unique so update the untrue statement when extending the docs.

iio: ABI: fix correctness of I and Q modifiers
Update the IIO ABI documentation to reflect the actual usage of channels
with I and Q modifiers. These are currently only used in a few drivers:
frequency/admv1013 (kernel v5.17):
- in_altvoltageY-altvoltageZ_i_calibphase
- in_altvoltageY-altvoltageZ_q_calibphase
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibbias
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibbias
frequency/admv1014 (kernel v5.18):
- in_altvoltageY_i_phase
- in_altvoltageY_q_phase
- in_altvoltageY_i_offset
- in_altvoltageY_q_offset
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibscale_course
- in_altvoltageY_i_calibscale_fine
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibscale_course
- in_altvoltageY_q_calibscale_fine
frequency/adrf6780 (kernel v5.16):
- out_altvoltageY_i_phase
- out_altvoltageY_q_phase
There are no _raw or _scale attributes in use, so those are all removed.
There are no currentY attributes in use with these modifiers, so those
are also removed. All of the voltageY are changed to altvoltageY since
that is how they are actually used. None of these channels are used
with scan buffers, so all of those attributes are removed as well. And
the {in,out}_altvoltageY_{i,q}_phase attributes were missing so those
are added.
The differential channel names for admv1013 are fixed.

platform/x86: ideapad: Expose charge_types
Some Ideapad models support a battery conservation mode which limits the battery charge threshold for longer battery longevity. This is currently exposed via a custom conservation_mode attribute in sysfs. The newly introduced charge_types sysfs attribute is a standardized replacement for laptops with a fixed end charge threshold. Setting it to `Long Life` would enable battery conservation mode. The standardized user space API would allow applications such as UPower to detect laptops which support this battery longevity mode and set it. Tested on an Lenovo ideapad U330p.

selinux: remove the runtime disable functionality
After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If
disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
"__ro_after_init" feature.
It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.
From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.
It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.
Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

selinux: remove the 'checkreqprot' functionality
We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March 2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why 'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below: This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during initialization for some time. Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed. In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log, along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the deprecation or planned removal. It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal message in the kernel log.

dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT
The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4 years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if anyone screams. Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that /sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM". The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version: - ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+ - fio: v3.13+ - pmdk: v1.5.2+ As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Convert to MFD
This driver only creates a bunch of platform devices sharing resources belonging to the PMC device. This is pretty much what MFD subsystem is for so move the driver there, renaming it to intel_pmc_bxt.c which should be more clear what it is. MFD subsystem provides nice helper APIs for subdevice creation so convert the driver to use those. Unfortunately the ACPI device includes separate resources for most of the subdevices so we cannot simply call mfd_add_devices() to create all of them but instead we need to call it separately for each device. The new MFD driver continues to expose two sysfs attributes that allow userspace to send IPC commands to the PMC/SCU to avoid breaking any existing applications that may use these. Generally this is bad idea so document this in the ABI documentation.

powerpc updates for 5.7
- A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors,
and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The
result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general.
- Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly
intertwined with #ifdefs over the years.
- Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should
hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the
workqueue code and other problems.
- MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the
status of others.

Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1
Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel
parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left
intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions
do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error.
Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will
stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether.
checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism
for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.
However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be
made executable without authorization by policy. The default value
for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed
from 1 to 0 in commit

selinux: deprecate disabling SELinux and runtime
Deprecate the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality. The code was originally developed to make it easier for Linux distributions to support architectures where adding parameters to the kernel command line was difficult. Unfortunately, supporting runtime disable meant we had to make some security trade-offs when it came to the LSM hooks, as documented in the Kconfig help text: NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init' kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this option. Fortunately it looks as if that the original motivation for the runtime disable functionality is gone, and Fedora/RHEL appears to be the only major distribution enabling this capability at build time so we are now taking steps to remove it entirely from the kernel. The first step is to mark the functionality as deprecated and print an error when it is used (what this patch is doing). As Fedora/RHEL makes progress in transitioning the distribution away from runtime disable, we will introduce follow-up patches over several kernel releases which will block for increasing periods of time when the runtime disable is used. Finally we will remove the option entirely once we believe all users have moved to the kernel cmdline approach.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
CORE:
- Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No
inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining,
and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for
interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are
doing if they are getting the big hammer.
- Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that
make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.
- Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all
IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice.
- Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This
allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single
register read. This has high value for some usecases: it
can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers
and other things that rely on reading several lines at
exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice
optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from
the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and
is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the
generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able
to benefit from this.
- Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source
setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware
actually supports enabling both at the same time the
electrical result would be disastrous.
- A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful
to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers
with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This
is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in
contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship
between a device and a gpiochip.
NEW DRIVERS:
- Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting
piece of professional I/O hardware.
- Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the
recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.
- Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
infrastructure.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
- Some documentation improvements.
- Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
- Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
- Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the
Broadcom BRCMSTB driver.
- Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal
of dead code etc.
- Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.15-1' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
Core:
- Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No inversion
semantics as before, but also no open draining, and allow the raw
operations to affect lines used for interrupts as the caller
supposedly knows what they are doing if they are getting the big
hammer.
- Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that make
more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.
- Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all IRQs are
mapped dynamically. This is nice.
- Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This allows us
to read several GPIO lines with a single register read. This has
high value for some usecases: it can be used to create
oscilloscopes and signal analyzers and other things that rely on
reading several lines at exactly the same instant. Also a generally
nice optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from the
bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and is implemented for
two drivers, one of them being the generic MMIO driver so everyone
using that will be able to benefit from this.
- Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source setting of a
GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware actually supports
enabling both at the same time the electrical result would be
disastrous.
- A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful to deal with
"banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers with several logical

sysctl: remove /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads
This tunable has been obsolete since 2.6.32, and writes to the file have been failing and complaining in dmesg since then: nr_pdflush_threads exported in /proc is scheduled for removal That was 8 years ago. Remove the file ABI obsolete notice, and the sysfs file. Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |
