b234ed6d62 init: move usermodehelper_enable() to populate_rootfs()
Currently, usermodehelper is enabled right before PID1 starts going
through the initcalls. However, any call of a usermodehelper from a
pure_, core_, postcore_, arch_, subsys_ or fs_ initcall is futile, as
there is no filesystem contents yet.

Up until commit e7cb072eb9 ("init/initramfs.c: do unpacking
asynchronously"), such calls, whether via some request_module(), a
legacy uevent "/sbin/hotplug" notification or something else, would
just fail silently with (presumably) -ENOENT from
kernel_execve(). However, that commit introduced the
wait_for_initramfs() synchronization hook which must be called from
the usermodehelper exec path right before the kernel_execve, in order
that request_module() et al done from *after* rootfs_initcall()
time (i.e. device_ and late_ initcalls) would continue to find a
populated initramfs as they used to.

Any call of wait_for_initramfs() done before the unpacking has been
scheduled (i.e. before rootfs_initcall time) must just return
immediately [and let the caller find an empty file system] in order
not to deadlock the machine. I mistakenly thought, and my limited
testing confirmed, that there were no such calls, so I added a
pr_warn_once() in wait_for_initramfs(). It turns out that one can
indeed hit request_module() as well as kobject_uevent_env() during
those early init calls, leading to a user-visible warning in the
kernel log emitted consistently for certain configurations.

We could just remove the pr_warn_once(), but I think it's better to
postpone enabling the usermodehelper framework until there is at least
some chance of finding the executable. That is also a little more
efficient in that a lot of work done in umh.c will be elided. However,
it does change the error seen by those early callers from -ENOENT to
-EBUSY, so there is a risk of a regression if any caller care about
the exact error value.

e7cb072eb9 init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronously
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.

These two patches are independent, but better-together.

The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g.  the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.

The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish.  Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.

There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules.  But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).

This patch (of 2):

Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed.  So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.

This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough.  By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.

Normal desktops might benefit as well.  On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:

[    0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[    1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K

Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg.  With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.

Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.

But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e.  request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs().  So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

8b83369ddc RISC-V Patches for the 5.12 Merge Window
I have a handful of new RISC-V related patches for this merge window:
 
 * A check to ensure drivers are properly using uaccess.  This isn't
   manifesting with any of the drivers I'm currently using, but may catch
   errors in new drivers.
 * Some preliminary support for the FU740, along with the HiFive
   Unleashed it will appear on.
 * NUMA support for RISC-V, which involves making the arm64 code generic.
 * Support for kasan on the vmalloc region.
 * A handful of new drivers for the Kendryte K210, along with the DT
   plumbing required to boot on a handful of K210-based boards.
 * Support for allocating ASIDs.
 * Preliminary support for kernels larger than 128MiB.
 * Various other improvements to our KASAN support, including the
   utilization of huge pages when allocating the KASAN regions.
 
 We may have already found a bug with the KASAN_VMALLOC code, but it's
 passing my tests.  There's a fix in the works, but that will probably
 miss the merge window.

dd23e8098f initramfs: panic with memory information
On systems with large amounts of reserved memory we may fail to
successfully complete unpack_to_rootfs() and be left with:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: write error

this is not too helpful to understand what happened, so let's wrap the
panic() calls with a surrounding show_mem() such that we have a chance of
understanding the memory conditions leading to these allocation failures.

55d5b7dd64 initramfs: fix clang build failure
There is only one function in init/initramfs.c that is in the .text
section, and it is marked __weak.  When building with clang-12 and the
integrated assembler, this leads to a bug with recordmcount:

  ./scripts/recordmcount  "init/initramfs.o"
  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  init/initramfs.o: failed

I'm not quite sure what exactly goes wrong, but I notice that this
function is only ever called from an __init function, and normally
inlined.  Marking it __init as well is clearly correct and it leads to
recordmcount no longer complaining.

e99332e7b4 gcc-10: mark more functions __init to avoid section mismatch warnings
It seems that for whatever reason, gcc-10 ends up not inlining a couple
of functions that used to be inlined before.  Even if they only have one
single callsite - it looks like gcc may have decided that the code was
unlikely, and not worth inlining.

The code generation difference is harmless, but caused a few new section
mismatch errors, since the (now no longer inlined) function wasn't in
the __init section, but called other init functions:

   Section mismatch in reference from the function kexec_free_initrd() to the function .init.text:free_initrd_mem()
   Section mismatch in reference from the function tpm2_calc_event_log_size() to the function .init.text:early_memremap()
   Section mismatch in reference from the function tpm2_calc_event_log_size() to the function .init.text:early_memunmap()

So add the appropriate __init annotation to make modpost not complain.
In both cases there were trivially just a single callsite from another
__init function.

899ee4afe5 arm64: use generic free_initrd_mem()
arm64 calls memblock_free() for the initrd area in its implementation of
free_initrd_mem(), but this call has no actual effect that late in the boot
process. By the time initrd is freed, all the reserved memory is managed by
the page allocator and the memblock.reserved is unused, so the only purpose
of the memblock_free() call is to keep track of initrd memory for debugging
and accounting.

Without the memblock_free() call the only difference between arm64 and the
generic versions of free_initrd_mem() is the memory poisoning.

Move memblock_free() call to the generic code, enable it there
for the architectures that define ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and use the generic
implementation of free_initrd_mem() on arm64.

With gcc-4.6.3:

    This is often because populate_initrd_image lacks a __init

Indeed, if the compiler decides not to inline populate_initrd_image(), a

Fix this by adding the missing __init annotations.

5d59aa8f9c initramfs: don't free a non-existent initrd
Since commit 54c7a8916a ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.

In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.

Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.

54c7a8916a initramfs: free initrd memory if opening /initrd.image fails
Patch series "initramfs tidyups".

I've spent some time chasing down behavior in initramfs and found
plenty of opportunity to improve the code.  A first stab on that is
contained in this series.

This patch (of 7):

We free the initrd memory for all successful or error cases except for the
case where opening /initrd.image fails, which looks like an oversight.

Steven said:

: This also changes the behaviour when CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE is enabled
: - specifically it means that the initrd is freed (previously it was
: ignored and never freed).  But that seems like reasonable behaviour and
: the previous behaviour looks like another oversight.

Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g.  not enough memory.  This

7c0950d455 initramfs: clean old path before creating a hardlink
sys_link() can fail due to the new path already existing.  This case
ofen occurs when we use a concated initrd, for example:

1) prepare a basic rootfs, it contains a regular files rc.local
lizhijian@:~/yocto-tiny-i386-2016-04-22$ cat etc/rc.local
 #!/bin/sh
 echo "Running /etc/rc.local..."
yocto-tiny-i386-2016-04-22$ find . | sed 's,^\./,,' | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -n -9 >../rootfs.cgz

2) create a extra initrd which also includes a etc/rc.local
lizhijian@:~/lkp-x86_64/etc$ echo "append initrd" >rc.local
lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64/etc$ cat rc.local
append initrd
lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64/etc$ ln rc.local rc.local.hardlink

.
etc
etc/rc.local.hardlink <<< it will be extracted first at this initrd
etc/rc.local

3) concate 2 initrds and boot
lizhijian@:~/lkp$ cat rootfs.cgz rc-local.cgz >concate-initrd.cgz
lizhijian@:~/lkp$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 1 -m 1024 -kernel ~/lkp/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "console=ttyS0 earlyprint=ttyS0 ignore_loglevel" -initrd ./concate-initr.cgz -serial stdio -nodefaults

In this case, sys_link(2) will fail and return -EEXIST, so we can only get
the rc.local at rootfs.cgz instead of rc-local.cgz

a1ce35fa49 block: remove dead elevator code
This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core
front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining,
initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything
related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.

Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.

Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.

6ad018e3ca init/: remove ineffective sparse disabling
Sparse checking used to be disabled on init/do_mounts.c and a few related
files because "Many of the syscalls used in this file expect some of the
arguments to be __user pointers not __kernel pointers".

However since 28128c61e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid
missed struct attributes") the checks are, in fact, not disabled anymore
because of the more early include of "linux/compiler_types.h"

So remove the now ineffective #undefery that was done to disable these
warnings, as well as the associated comment.

46ea89eb65 fs: add do_linkat() helper and ksys_link() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Using the fs-internal do_linkat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_linkat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_link() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to sys_link() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses
the same calling convention as sys_link().

In the near future, the only fs-external user of ksys_link() should be
converted to use vfs_link() instead.
