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
8b41fc4454 ("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"

Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening

Improve the average delay precision of getdelay tool to microsecond. When
using the getdelay tool, it is sometimes found that the average delay
except CPU is not 0, but display is 0, because the precison is too low.
For example, see delay average of SWAP below when using ZRAM.
print delayacct stats ON
PID 32915
CPU count real total virtual total delay total delay average
339202 2793871936 9233585504 7951112 0.000ms
IO count delay total delay average
41 419296904 10ms
SWAP count delay total delay average
242589 1045792384 0ms
This wrong display is misleading, so improve the millisecond precision of
the average delay to microsecond just like CPU. Then user would get more
accurate information of delay time.

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"A rather small update, there are no new drivers, just improvements and
refactoring in existing ones.
Thanks to migrating of several drivers to using generalized APIs and
dropping of OF interfaces in favor of using software nodes we're
actually removing more code than we're adding.
Core GPIOLIB:
- drop several OF interfaces after moving a significant part of the
code to using software nodes
- remove more interfaces referring to the global GPIO numberspace
that we're getting rid of
- improvements in the gpio-regmap library
- add helper for GPIO device reference counting
- remove unused APIs
- minor tweaks like sorting headers alphabetically
Extended support in existing drivers:
- add support for Tegra 234 PMC to gpio-tegra186
Driver improvements:
- migrate the 104-dio/idi family of drivers to using the regmap-irq
API
- migrate gpio-i8255 and gpio-mm to the GPIO regmap API
- clean-ups in gpio-pca953x
- remove duplicate assignments of of_gpio_n_cells in gpio-davinci,
gpio-ge, gpio-xilinx, gpio-zevio and gpio-wcd934x
- improvements to gpio-pcf857x: implement get/set_multiple callbacks,
use generic device properties instead of OF + minor tweaks
- fix OF-related header includes and Kconfig dependencies in
gpio-zevio
- dynamically allocate the GPIO base in gpio-omap
- use a dedicated printf specifier for printing fwnode info in
gpio-sim
- use dev_name() for the GPIO chip label in gpio-vf610
- other minor tweaks and fixes
Documentation:
- remove mentions of legacy API from comments in various places
- convert the DT binding documents to YAML schema for Fujitsu
MB86S7x, Unisoc GPIO and Unisoc EIC
- document the Unisoc UMS512 controller in DT bindings"

It is enough to use a file name to cross-reference another rst document.
Jon says:
The right things will happen in the HTML output, readers of the
plain-text will know immediately where to go, and we don't have to add
the label clutter.
Drop reference markup and unnecessary labels and use plain file names.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

irq_to_gpio() is legacy and unused API, remove it for good.
This leaves gpio_to_irq() as it's used yet in many places.
Nevertheless, removal of its counterpart is a good signal
to whoever even trying to consider using them that do not.
