commit 4a683bf94b8a10e2bb0da07aec3ac0a55e5de61f upstream.
One of my testboxes triggered this nasty stack overflow crash
during SCSI probing:

The oops did not reveal any more details about the real stack
that we have and the system got into an infinite loop of
recursive pagefaults.
So i booted with CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y and the 'stacktrace' boot
parameter. The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably
changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the
/debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing:

71) 28 28 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but
the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to
the boot trace entry variables being on the stack.
Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally
serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope.
Note that this large stack footprint was present for a
couple of months already - what pushed my system over
the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain:
6) 3328 36 allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100
7) 3292 36 new_slab+0x1c/0x160
8) 3256 36 __slab_alloc+0x133/0x2b0

11) 3108 40 kmemleak_alloc+0x81/0xc0
12) 3068 24 kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0
13) 3044 52 scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70
This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit
more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info.
The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes
to 28 bytes.

With the removal of duplicate unpack_to_rootfs() (commit
df52092f3c97788592ef72501a43fb7ac6a3cfe0) the messages displayed do not
actually correspond to what the kernel is doing. In addition, depending
if ramdisks are supported or not, the messages are not at all the same.
So keep the messages more in sync with what is really doing the kernel,
and only display a second message in case of failure. This also ensure
that the printk message cannot be split by other printk's.

V3 of the early platform driver implementation.
Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.
For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This
because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk
support. Early in this case means before initcalls.
These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver. A single way would be better.
The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.
See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

Change cb6ff208076b5f434db1b8c983429269d719cef5 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on
initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init
being a hardlink.
It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to
reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which
have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the
file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway
loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary
format.
My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things
for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on
nommu systems, although I would guess not.

Make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux as
they cause vmlinux to balloon when CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and they cause
dump_stack() and get_wchan() to produce useless information under some
circumstances.
With this we add a config option (CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS) that will cause
the build to supply -X to the linker to tell it to strip temporary local
symbols.
This doesn't seem to cause gdb any problems.

Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.
The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3. After just this
patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
in the initial ipc namespace.

Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such
as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may
sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable
for workqueues.
The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are
started when there's more work to do, up to a limit. Because of the nature of
the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool. A system with
one CPU may well want several threads.
This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such
as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

Allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems
Currently it's impossible to build cpusets under UML on x86-64, since
cpusets depends on SMP and x86-64 UML doesn't support SMP.
There's code in cpusets that doesn't depend on SMP. This patch surrounds
the minimum amount of cpusets code with #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in order to
allow cpusets to build/run on UP systems (for testing purposes under UML).

It's pointed out that swap_cgroup's message at swapon() is nonsense.
Because
* It can be calculated very easily if all necessary information is
written in Kconfig.
* It's not necessary to annoying people at every swapon().
In other view, now, memory usage per swp_entry is reduced to 2bytes from
8bytes(64bit) and I think it's reasonably small.

other code.
initramfs uses printk without a linefeed, then does some work, then uses

Also move MdpMinorShift into there so we can remove duplication.
Lastly move mdp_major in. It is less obviously part of the user-space

Impact: cleanup
(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

we check if initrd is initramfs first and then do the real unpack. The check
isn't required, we can directly do unpack. If the initrd isn't an
initramfs, we can remove the garbage. In my laptop, this saves 0.1s boot
time.
This patch penalizes non-initramfs initrd case, but nowadays, initramfs is
the most widely used method for initrds.

I found "cpuset" is at the earliest.
I found a create_singlethread_workqueue() is earlier than
init_workqueues():
kernel_init()
->cpuset_init_smp()
->create_singlethread_workqueue()
->do_basic_setup()
->init_workqueues()
I think it's better that create_singlethread_workqueue() is called
after workqueue subsystem has been initialized.

The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in
the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED menu.
Fix by moving it to just after all of the EMBEDDED menu symbols. Also,
ANON_INODES has a similar problem, so move it to just above the EMBEDDED
menu items since it is used in the EMBEDDED menu.

This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.
It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).

This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language. ;-)
The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.
This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().
Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.
In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.
Changes since v4:
o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
be less emotional. ;-)
Changes since v3:
o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Changes since v2:
o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
a grace period.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
the system is still in early boot.
This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
on a single CPU after booting is complete.
o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
being but one online CPU.
Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

Sometimes it happens that KConfig dependencies are not handled
like in the following scenario:
- config A
bool
- config B
bool
depends on A
- config C
bool
select B
If one selects C, then it will select B without checking its
dependency to A, if A hasn't been selected elsewhere, it will
result in a build failure.
This is what happens on the following build error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':
(.text+0x52f64): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range':

kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probes':
marker.c:(.text+0x530ba): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_update_all'
CONFIG_KVM_TRACE will select CONFIG_MARKER, but the latter
depends on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS which will not be selected.

disable_ioapic_setup()
Impact: cleanup
disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.
Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.
