The HPET-based hardlockup detector relies on the TSC to determine if an
observed NMI interrupt was originated by HPET timer. Hence, this detector
can no longer be used with an unstable TSC.
In such case, permanently stop the HPET-based hardlockup detector and
start the perf-based detector.

The HPET hardlockup detector relies on tsc_khz to estimate the value of

helps to estimate better the expected TSC value.
Using the early value of tsc_khz may lead to a large error in the expected
TSC value. Restarting the NMI
When there are multiple implementations of the NMI watchdog, there may be

The generic hardlockup detector is based on perf. It also provides a set

It is not possible to determine the source of a non-maskable interrupt

determine whether it caused an NMI would be to read the Interrupt Status

Add a NMI_WATCHDOG as a new category of NMI handler. This new category
is to be used with the HPET-based hardlockup detector. This detector
does not have a direct way of checking if the HPET timer is the source of
the NMI. Instead, it indirectly estimates it using the time-stamp counter.
Certain implementations of the hardlockup detector require support for

be determined after all the possible CPUs have booted once (in

The current default implementation of the hardlockup detector assumes that
it is implemented using perf events. However, the hardlockup detector can
be driven by other sources of non-maskable interrupts (e.g., a properly
configured timer).
Group and wrap in #ifdef CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF
The procedure to detect hardlockups is independent of the underlying
mechanism that generates the non-maskable interrupt used to drive the
detector. Thus, it can be put in a separate, generic function. In this
manner, it can be invoked by various implementations of the NMI watchdog.
For this
The HPET hardlockup detector needs a dedicated HPET channel. Hence, create
a new HPET_MODE_NMI_WATCHDOG mode category to indicate that it cannot be
used for other purposes. Using MSI interrupts greatly simplifies the
implementation of the detector. Specifically, it helps to avoid the

If NMIPass is enabled in a device's DTE, the IOMMU lets NMI interrupt
messages pass through unmapped. Therefore, the contents of the MSI
message, not an IRTE, determine how and where the NMI is delivered.
Since the IOMMU driver owns the MSI message of the NMI irq, compose
it using the
As per the AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (IOMMU) Specification, the
AMD IOMMU only remaps fixed and arbitrated MSIs. NMIs are controlled
by the NMIPass bit of a Device Table Entry. When set, the IOMMU passes
through NMI interrupt messages unmapped. Otherwise, they are aborted.
Furthermore,
These functions are used to check and set specific bits in a Device Table
Entry. For instance, they can be used to modify the setting of the NMIPass
field.
Currently, these functions are used only for ACPI-specified devices.
However, an interrupt is to be allocated with NMI as delivery mode, the
The Intel IOMMU interrupt remapping driver already programs correctly the
delivery mode of individual irqs as per their irq_data. Improve handling
of NMIs. Allow only one irq per NMI. Also, it is not necessary to cleanup
irq vectors after updating affinity. NMIs do not have associated vectors.
There are no hardware requirements to use the same delivery mode for all
interrupts. Use the mode specified in the provided IRQ hardware
configuration data. Since all IRQs are configured to use the delivery mode
of the APIC drive, the only functional changes are where IRQs are
configured to use a
struct irq_cfg::delivery_mode specifies the delivery mode of each IRQ
separately. Configuring the delivery mode of an IRTE would require adding
a third argument to prepare_irte(). Instead, simply take a pointer to the
irq_cfg for which an IRTE is being configured. This change does not cause
When the destination mode of an interrupt is physical APICID, the interrupt
is delivered only to the single CPU of which the physical APICID is
specified in the destination ID field. Therefore, the redirection hint is
meaningless.
Furthermore, on certain processors, the IOMMU does not deliver the
The flag X86_IRQ_ALLOC_AS_NMI indicates to the interrupt controller that
it should configure the delivery mode of an IRQ as NMI. Implement such
request. This causes irq_domain children in the hierarchy to configure
their irq_chips accordingly. When no specific delivery mode is requested,
continue
Vectors are meaningless when allocating IRQs with NMI as the delivery mode.
In such case, skip the reservation of IRQ vectors. Do it in the lowest-
level functions where the actual IRQ reservation takes place.
Since NMIs target specific CPUs, keep the functionality to find the best
CPU.

With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform
dynamic checks for string size which can panic the kernel,
like incase of overflow detection.
In papr_scm, papr_scm_pmu_check_events function uses stat->stat_id
with string operations, to populate the nvdimm_events_map array.

In the previous commit powerpc added PAGE_SIZE related config symbols
using the generic names.
So there's no need to refer to them in the definition of
PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB etc, the negative dependency on the generic
symbol is sufficient (in this case !PAGE_SIZE_64KB).

Other arches (sh, mips, hexagon) use standard names for PAGE_SIZE
related config symbols.
Add matching symbols for powerpc, which are enabled by default but
depend on our architecture specific PAGE_SIZE symbols.
This allows generic/driver code to express dependencies on the PAGE_SIZE

Kbuild runs at the top of objtree instead of changing the working
directory to subdirectories. I think this design is nice overall but
some commands have a scapability issue.
The build command of built-in.a is one of them whose length scales with:
O(D * N)
Here, D is the length of the
Make genksyms output symbol versions in the format modpost expects,
so the 'sed' is unneeded.
This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded.
I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while.
Otherwise, some people might be upset with 'git status'.
Signed-off-by:
When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in
separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code
here.
This approach is not robust because:
- *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions
Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.
The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.
Current implementation

->is_static is set to true at allocation, then to false if the symbol
comes from the dump file.
It is simpler to use !mod->from_dump as the init value.

Now modpost reads symbol versions from .*.cmd files.
These merged *.symversions are not used any more.

Like built-in.a, the command length of the *.mod rule scales with
the depth of the directory times the number of objects in the Makefile.
Add $(obj)/ by the shell command (awk) instead of by Make's builtin
function.
In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152),
but this is
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM bitcode is
converted to ELF.
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.
This commit stops generating
include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.
Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
Import hlist macros from include/linux/list.h to implement the hash
table in a more generic way.
While I was here, I increased the hash table size from 1024 to 8192
to decrease the hash collision.
I moved ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h because it is needed
in modpost.c as well.
A later commit will add more code to this list_for_each_entry loop.
Before that, move the loop body into a separate helper function.
