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 on this pull request. 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 |
