5634469360 kernel/notifier: Remove CONFIG_SRCU
Now that the SRCU Kconfig option is unconditionally selected, there is
no longer any point in conditional compilation based on CONFIG_SRCU.
Therefore, remove the #ifdef.

f9b4dc920d notifier: repair slips in kernel-doc comments
Invoking ./scripts/kernel-doc -none kernel/notifier.c warns:

  kernel/notifier.c:71: warning: Excess function parameter 'returns' description in 'notifier_call_chain'
  kernel/notifier.c:119: warning: Function parameter or member 'v' not described in 'notifier_call_chain_robust'

These two warning are easy to fix, as they are just due to some minor slips
that makes the comment not follow kernel-doc's syntactic expectation.

Fix those minor slips in kernel-doc comments for make W=1 happiness.

Add variant of blocking/atomic_notifier_chain_register() functions that

13dfd97a34 notifier: Add atomic_notifier_call_chain_is_empty()
Add atomic_notifier_call_chain_is_empty() that returns true if given
atomic call chain is empty.

The first user of this new notifier API function will be the kernel
power-off core code that will support power-off call chains. The core
code will need to check whether there is a power-off handler registered
at all in order to decide whether to halt machine or power it off.

5abb065dca notifier: Return an error when a callback has already been registered
Return -EEXIST when a notifier callback has already been registered on a

This should avoid any homegrown registration tracking at the callsite
like

  https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20210512013058.6827-1-mukul.joshi@amd.com

for example.

This version is an alternative of

70d9329857 notifier: Fix broken error handling pattern
The current notifiers have the following error handling pattern all
over the place:

	int err, nr;

	err = __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_up, v, -1, &nr);
	if (err & NOTIFIER_STOP_MASK)
		__foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_down, v, nr-1, NULL)

And aside from the endless repetition thereof, it is broken. Consider
blocking notifiers; both calls take and drop the rwsem, this means
that the notifier list can change in between the two calls, making @nr
meaningless.

Fix this by replacing all the __foo_notifier_call_chain() functions
with foo_notifier_call_chain_robust() that embeds the above pattern,
but ensures it is inside a single lock region.

Note: I switched atomic_notifier_call_chain_robust() to use
      the spinlock, since RCU cannot provide the guarantee
      required for the recovery.

Note: software_resume() error handling was broken afaict.

763802b53a x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()
Commit 3f8fd02b1b ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path.  While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.

Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap().  But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.

To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:

	* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
	* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()

Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized.  The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.

Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

1a50cb80f2 kernel/notifier.c: intercept duplicate registrations to avoid infinite loops
Registering the same notifier to a hook repeatedly can cause the hook
list to form a ring or lose other members of the list.

  case1: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2);

  case2: An infinite loop in notifier_chain_register() can cause soft lockup
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);
          atomic_notifier_call_chain(&test_notifier_list, 0, NULL);

  case3: lose other hook test2
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test2);
          atomic_notifier_chain_register(&test_notifier_list, &test1);

  case4: Unregister returns 0, but the hook is still in the linked list,
         and it is not really registered. If you call
         notifier_call_chain after ko is unloaded, it will trigger oops.

If the system is configured with softlockup_panic and the same hook is
repeatedly registered on the panic_notifier_list, it will cause a loop
panic.

Add a check in notifier_chain_register(), intercepting duplicate
registrations to avoid infinite loops

831246570d kernel/notifier.c: double register detection
By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt
called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list.

A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power
cycled because of notifier list corruption.  I've prepared this patch
and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody
commented on it.  Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the
OpenVz kernel.

Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during
subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost
unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures.

The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it
allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

83fe27ea53 rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

8857563b81 notifier: Substitute rcu_access_pointer() for rcu_dereference_raw()
(Trivial patch.)

If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not
dereferencing it, the rcu_dereference() functions can be downgraded
to rcu_access_pointer().  This commit makes this downgrade in
__blocking_notifier_call_chain() which simply compares the RCU-protected
pointer against NULL with no dereferencing.

9984de1a5a kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include <linux/module.h>
  +#include <linux/export.h>

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

c5f41752fd notifiers: sys: move reboot notifiers into reboot.h
It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

This patch already moves register_reboot_notifier() and
unregister_reboot_notifier() from kernel/notifier.c to kernel/sys.c.

36dcd67ae9 ftrace: ignore functions that cannot be kprobe-ed
kprobes already has an extensive list of annotations for functions
that should not be instrumented. Add notrace annotations to these
functions as well.

This is particularly useful for functions called by the NMI path.

1b2439dbb7 debug: add notifier chain debugging
during some development we suspected a case where we left something
in a notifier chain that was from a module that was unloaded already...
and that sort of thing is rather hard to track down.

This patch adds a very simple sanity check (which isn't all that
expensive) to make sure the notifier we're about to call is
actually from either the kernel itself of from a still-loaded
module, avoiding a hard-to-chase-down crash.

6546bc4279 ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative
The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
registered.  With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
changes in procfs.

There is separate notifier header, but no separate notifier .c file.

Extract notifier code out of kernel/sys.c which will remain for
misc syscalls I hope. Merge kernel/die_notifier.c into kernel/notifier.c.
