Enabling -ffunction-sections modified the generic linker script to
pull .text.* sections into regular TEXT_TEXT section, conflicting
with some architectures. Revert that change and require archs that
enable the option to ensure they have no conflicting section names,
and do the appropriate merging.

Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets
for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final
linking of vmlinux and modules.
powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity,
and may use it to fix up alternate instruction patch branch addresses.

Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.
On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.

ld -r is an incremental link used to create built-in.o files in build
subdirectories. It produces relocatable object files containing all
its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated
in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final
link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with
unresolvable relocations in the final link.
Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking.
This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information
available to it when it links the kernel.
This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which
causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o
files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached,
which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a
built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the
symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link.
The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now
has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise
just completely avoid including those without external references
(consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions
as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as
built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external
references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel
(due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and
costly because the .o files have to be searched for references.
Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead.
Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le
pseries VM with a modest .config:
inclink thinarc
sizes
vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028
sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334
sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430
find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux
real 22.772s 21.143s
user 13.280s 13.430s
sys 4.310s 2.750s
- Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how
ineffective the object file culling is.
- Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity.
On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win.
- Build size saving is significant.
Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks,
$ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with
$ size built-in.o # and their sizes
$ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames

Do you think kernel build is 100% dominated by gcc? You are wrong!
One small utility called "fixdep" consistently manages to sneak into
profile's first page (unless you have small monitor of course).
The choke point is this clever code:
for (; m < end; m++) {
if (*m == INT_CONF) { p = (char *) m ; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_ONFI) { p = (char *) m-1; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_NFIG) { p = (char *) m-2; goto conf; }
if (*m == INT_FIG_) { p = (char *) m-3; goto conf; }
4 branches per 4 characters is not fast.
Use strstr(3), so that SSE2 etc can be used.
With this patch, fixdep is so deep at the bottom, it is hard to find it.

Here we have another kind of deviation from the default case -
a difference between exporting functions and non-functions.
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL... is really different from EXPORT_SYMBOL...
on ia64, and we need to use the right one when moving exports
from *.c where C compiler has the required information to
*.S, where we need to supply it manually.
parisc64 will be another one like that.

Add asm-usable variants of EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This
commit just adds the default implementation; most of the architectures
can simply add export.h to asm/Kbuild and start using <asm/export.h>
from assembler. The rest needs to have their <asm/export.h> define
everal macros and then explicitly include <asm-generic/export.h>
One area where the things might diverge from default is the alignment;
normally it's 8 bytes on 64bit targets and 4 on 32bit ones, both for
unsigned long and for struct kernel_symbol. Unfortunately, amd64 and
m68k are unusual - m68k aligns to 2 bytes (for both) and amd64 aligns
struct kernel_symbol to 16 bytes. For those we'll need asm/export.h to
override the constants used by generic version - KSYM_ALIGN and KCRC_ALIGN
for kernel_symbol and unsigned long resp. And no, __alignof__ would not
do the trick - on amd64 __alignof__ of struct kernel_symbol is 8, not 16.
More serious source of unpleasantness is treatment of function
descriptors on architectures that have those. Things like ppc64,
parisc, ia64, etc. need more than the address of the first insn to
call an arbitrary function. As the result, their representation of
pointers to functions is not the typical "address of the entry point" -
it's an address of a small static structure containing all the required
information (including the entry point, of course). Sadly, the asm-side
conventions differ in what the function name refers to - entry point or
the function descriptor. On ppc64 we do the latter;
bar: .quad foo
is what void (*bar)(void) = foo; turns into and the rare places where
we need to explicitly work with the label of entry point are dealt with
as DOTSYM(foo). For our purposes it's ideal - generic macros are usable.
However, parisc would have foo and P%foo used for label of entry point
and address of the function descriptor and
bar: .long P%foo
woudl be used instead. ia64 goes similar to parisc in that respect,
except that there it's @fptr(foo) rather than P%foo. Such architectures
need to define KSYM_FUNC that would turn a function name into whatever
is needed to refer to function descriptor.
What's more, on such architectures we need to know whether we are exporting
a function or an object - in assembler we have to tell that explicitly, to
decide whether we want EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) produce e.g.
__ksymtab_foo: .quad foo
or
__ksymtab_foo: .quad @fptr(foo)
For that reason we introduce EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), to be used for
exports of data objects. On normal architectures it's the same thing
as EXPORT_SYMBOL{,_GPL}(), but on parisc-like ones they differ and the
right one needs to be used. Most of the exports are functions, so we
keep EXPORT_SYMBOL for those...

Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
of those to obj-y.
That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile. Moreover, a change in
generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
on some configs. With this change we don't have to worry about
that anymore.
One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports
from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists). That's exactly what
we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing
built-in.o is used in. arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only
exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in
arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o
anymore.

Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.
No intended functional changes in this commit.

Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.
Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

the misc format file is invoked. However, this doesn't work very well

the binary as soon as the emulation is installed and uses the opened

installed, regardless of how the environment changes"

Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.
Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
or free extents. i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
already maintain and never overlaps with them.
This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming
along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
infrastructure.
As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an
experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
with this code in it is released.
The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
hours ago. The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
the upcoming reflink patchset. This new ENOSPC infrastructure
requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.
This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"

It's a mix of fixes for changes that went in previously in this round,
and fixes in general. This pull request contains:
- Fixes for loop from Christoph
- A bdi vs gendisk lifetime fix from Dan, worth two cookies.
- A blk-mq timeout fix, when on frozen queues. From Gabriel.
- Writeback fix from Jan, ensuring that __writeback_single_inode()
does the right thing.

- Error path deadlock fix in blk-mq sysfs registration from me.
- Floppy O_ACCMODE fix from Jiri.
- Fix to the new bio op methods from Mike.
One more followup will be coming here, ensuring that we don't
propagate the block types outside of block. That, and a rename of
bio->bi_rw is coming right after -rc1 is cut.
- Various little fixes"

Pull more ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Two more fixes in ACPI drivers, one in the ACPI EC driver
(stable-candidate) and one in the ACPI button driver.
Specifics:
- An ACPI EC driver fix from the 4.3 cycle may cause the ACPICA's
method reentrancy limit to be exceeded for a _Qxx method due to a
large number of concurrent EC operations, so prevent that from
happening by moving the EC handling into a separate workqueue with
a limit on the number of concurrently executed work items (Lv
Zheng)
- Fix the cleanup code in the ACPI button driver that forgets to
clear two variables on exit which causes an error to occur on the
next attmpt to load the driver (Benjamin Tissoires)"

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"A few more fixes and cleanups in the x86-64 low-level hibernation
code, PM core, cpufreq (Kconfig and intel_pstate), and the operating
points framework.
Specifics:
- Prevent the low-level assembly hibernate code on x86-64 from
referring to __PAGE_OFFSET directly as a symbol which doesn't work
when the kernel identity mapping base is randomized, in which case
__PAGE_OFFSET is a variable (Rafael Wysocki).
- Avoid selecting CPU_FREQ_STAT by default as the statistics are not
required for proper cpufreq operation (Borislav Petkov).
- Add Skylake-X and Broadwell-X IDs to the intel_pstate's list of
processors where out-of-band (OBB) control of P-states is possible
and if that is in use, intel_pstate should not attempt to manage
P-states (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Drop some unnecessary checks from the wakeup IRQ handling code in
the PM core (Markus Elfring).
- Reduce the number operating performance point (OPP) lookups in one
of the OPP framework's helper functions (Jisheng Zhang)"
