Although dynamic debug is often only used for debug builds, sometimes
its enabled for production builds as well. Minimize its impact by using
jump labels. This reduces the text section by 7000+ bytes in the kernel
image below. It does increase data, but this should only be referenced
when changing the direction of the branches, and hence usually not in
cache.

The current jump_label.h includes bug.h for things such as WARN_ON().
This makes the header problematic for inclusion by kernel.h or any
headers that kernel.h includes, since bug.h includes kernel.h (circular
dependency). The inclusion of atomic.h is similarly problematic. Thus,
this should make jump_label.h 'includable' from most places.

Previously, all the __exit sections were just dropped by the link phase.
However, if there are static_key (jump label) constructs in __exit
sections that are not modules, the link fails with the message:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `__jump_table' of xxx.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of xxx.o
Support this usage by keeping the .exit.text sections in the final image
if JUMP_LABEL is defined, then discarding them once initialization is
complete.

The addition of jump label support in dynamic_debug caused an unexpected
warning in exactly one file in the kernel:
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c: In function 'cxd2841er_tune_tc':
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h:134:3: error: 'carrier_offset' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
__dynamic_dev_dbg(&descriptor, dev, fmt, \
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cxd2841er.c:3177:11: note: 'carrier_offset' was declared here
int ret, carrier_offset;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problem seems to be that the compiler gets confused by the extra
conditionals in static_branch_unlikely, to the point where it can no
longer keep track of which branches have already been taken, and it
doesn't realize that this variable is now always initialized when it
gets used.
I have done lots of randconfig kernel builds and could not find any
other file with this behavior, so I assume it's a rare enough glitch
that we don't need to change the jump label support but instead just
work around the warning in the driver.
To achieve that, I'm moving the check for the return value into the
switch() statement, which is an obvious transformation, but is enough to
un-confuse the compiler here. The resulting code is not as nice to
read, but at least we retain the behavior of warning if it gets changed
to actually access an uninitialized carrier offset value in the future.

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")
However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN. This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb040 ("block: disable block device DAX by
default")
This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

The regs_return_value() returns "unsigned long" or "long" value. But the
retval is int type now, it may cause overflow, the log may becomes:
[ 2911.078869] do_brk returned -2003877888 and took 4620 ns to execute
This patch converts the retval to "unsigned long" type, and fixes the

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned
long will do fine:
1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting
attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.
2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
attributes are passed by value.

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention
clearer.
This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.
I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:
- config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
[ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]
- config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
[ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]
I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.

set_pte_at(.) will set or unset the PTE_RDONLY hardware bit before
writing the entry to the table.
This can cause problems with the copy-on-write logic in hugetlb_cow:
*) hugetlb_cow(.) called to handle a write fault on read only pte,
*) Before the copy-on-write updates the new page table a call is
made to pte_same(huge_ptep_get(ptep), pte)), to check for a race,
*) Because set_pte_at(.) changed the pte, *ptep != pte, and the
hugetlb_cow(.) code erroneously assumes that it lost the race,
*) The new page is subsequently freed without being used.
On arm64 this problem only becomes apparent when we apply:
67961f9 mm/hugetlb: fix huge page reserve accounting for private
mappings
When one runs the libhugetlbfs test suite, there are allocation errors
and hugetlbfs pages become erroneously locked in memory as reserved.
(There is a high HugePages_Rsvd: count).
In this patch we introduce pte_same which ignores the PTE_RDONLY bit,
allowing for the libhugetlbfs test suite to pass as expected and
without leaking any reserved HugeTLB pages.

We want to initialise register_process_table() before ppc_md is setup,
so that it can be called as part of MMU init (at least on Radix ATM).
That no longer works because probe_machine() requires that ppc_md be
empty before it's called, and we now do probe_machine() much later.
So make register_process_table a global for now. It will probably move
into a mmu_radix_ops struct at some point in the future.
This was broken by me when applying commit 7025776ed1 "powerpc/mm:

Currently supporting two join flags indicating two different
multicast JoinStates:
1. Full Member:
The initiator creates the Multicast group(MCG) if it wasn't
previously created, can send Multicast messages to the group
and receive messages from the MCG.
2. Send Only Full Member:
The initiator creates the Multicast group(MCG) if it wasn't
previously created, can send Multicast messages to the group
but doesn't receive any messages from the MCG.
IB: Send Only Full Member requires a query of ClassPortInfo
to determine if SM/SA supports this option. If SM/SA
doesn't support Send-Only there will be no join request
sent and an error will be returned.
ETH: When Send Only Full Member is requested no IGMP join

Currently, there is no protection for a case that remove_one
didn't make the cleanup it runs to its end, the underlying

Above might happen if uverbs_close deleted the file from the list

We allocate a small tracking structure as part of mlx4_ib_resize_cq().
However, we don't need to use GFP_ATOMIC -- immediately after the
allocation, we call mlx4_cq_resize(), which allocates a command
mailbox with GFP_KERNEL and then sleeps on a firmware command, so we
better not be in an atomic context.
This actually has a real impact, because when this GFP_ATOMIC
allocation fails (and GFP_ATOMIC does fail in practice) then a
userspace consumer resizing a CQ will get a spurious failure that we
can easily avoid.

While not an issue now, eventually we will have independent users of
the extable.h file and we will stop sourcing it via module.h header.
In testing that pending work, with very sparse builds, characteristic
of an "allnoconfig" on various architectures, we can sometimes hit an
instance where the very basic standard definitions aren't present,
resulting in:
include/linux/extable.h:26:9: error: 'NULL' undeclared (first use in this function)
To be clear, this isn't a regression, since currently extable.h is
only used by module.h -- however, we will need this addition present
before we start migrating exception table users off module.h and onto
extable.h during the next release cycle.

For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while
doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
including module.h for this.
The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
normally care about the exception tables.
Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
module.h itself.
Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move
them off module.h and onto extable.h
Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
into the git history.
The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core
files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
generally out of place.

Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current
procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.
This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
