tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.

btf: Allow mmap of vmlinux btf
User space needs access to kernel BTF for many modern features of BPF. Right now each process needs to read the BTF blob either in pieces or as a whole. Allow mmaping the sysfs file so that processes can directly access the memory allocated for it in the kernel. remap_pfn_range is used instead of vm_insert_page due to aarch64 compatibility issues.

vmlinux.lds: Ensure that const vars with relocations are mapped R/O
In the kernel, there are architectures (x86, arm64) that perform boot-time relocation (for KASLR) without relying on PIE codegen. In this case, all const global objects are emitted into .rodata, including const objects with fields that will be fixed up by the boot-time relocation code. This implies that .rodata (and .text in some cases) need to be writable at boot, but they will usually be mapped read-only as soon as the boot completes. When using PIE codegen, the compiler will emit const global objects into .data.rel.ro rather than .rodata if the object contains fields that need such fixups at boot-time. This permits the linker to annotate such regions as requiring read-write access only at load time, but not at execution time (in user space), while keeping .rodata truly const (in user space, this is important for reducing the CoW footprint of dynamic executables). This distinction does not matter for the kernel, but it does imply that const data will end up in writable memory if the .data.rel.ro sections are not treated in a special way, as they will end up in the writable .data segment by default. So emit .data.rel.ro into the .rodata segment.

kbuild: keep symbols for symbol_get() even with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when
CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for
symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped
due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case.
Probably, this has been broken since commit

kbuild: Add Propeller configuration for kernel build
Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the create_llvm_prof tool (https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller optimized kernel: 1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller build config CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y then $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> “<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized kernel. 2) Install the kernel on test/production machines. 3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009, for this purpose. For Intel platforms: $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \ -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> For AMD platforms: The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2 # To see if Zen3 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs" # To see if Zen4 support LBR: $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2 # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using: $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \ -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest> 4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine. 5) Generate Propeller profile: $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \ --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \ --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \ --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt binary for linux can be found on https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build from source). "<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like "/home/user/dir/any_string". This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles: "<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and "<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt". 6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.

AutoFDO: Enable machine function split optimization for AutoFDO
Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang. Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization. MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

The comments included in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h note these issues.: “TEXT_MAIN here will match .text.fixup and .text.unlikely if dead code elimination is enabled, so these sections should be converted to use ".." first.” It is unclear whether there is a straightforward method for converting a suffix to "..". This patch modifies the order of subsections within the text output section. Specifically, it changes current order: .text.hot, .text, .text_unlikely, .text.unknown, .text.asan to the new order: .text.asan, .text.unknown, .text_unlikely, .text.hot, .text Here is the rationale behind the new layout: The majority of the code resides in three sections: .text.hot, .text, and .text.unlikely, with .text.unknown containing a negligible amount. .text.asan is only generated in ASAN builds. The primary goal is to group code segments based on their execution frequency (hotness). First, we want to place .text.hot adjacent to .text. Since we cannot put .text.hot after .text (Due to constraints with -ffunction-sections, placing .text.hot after .text is problematic), we need to put .text.hot before .text. Then it comes to .text.unlikely, we cannot put it after .text (same -ffunction-sections issue) . Therefore, we position .text.unlikely before .text.hot. .text.unknown and .tex.asan follow the same logic. This revised ordering effectively reverses the original arrangement (for .text.unlikely, .text.unknown, and .tex.asan), maintaining a similar level of affinity between sections. It also places .text.hot section at the beginning of a page to better utilize the TLB entry. Note that the limitation arises because the linker script employs glob patterns instead of regular expressions for string matching. While there is a method to maintain the current order using complex patterns, this significantly complicates the pattern and increases the likelihood of errors. This patch also changes vmlinux.lds.S for the sparc64 architecture to accommodate specific symbol placement requirements.

runtime constants: deal with old decrepit linkers
The runtime constants linker script depended on documented linker behavior [1]: "If an output section’s name is the same as the input section’s name and is representable as a C identifier, then the linker will automatically PROVIDE two symbols: __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the name of the section. These indicate the start address and end address of the output section respectively" to just automatically define the symbol names for the bounds of the runtime constant arrays. It turns out that this isn't actually something we can rely on, with old linkers not generating these automatic symbols. It looks to have been introduced in binutils-2.29 back in 2017, and we still support building with versions all the way back to binutils-2.25 (from 2015). And yes, Oleg actually seems to be using such ancient versions of binutils. So instead of depending on the implicit symbols from "section names match and are representable C identifiers", just do this all manually. It's not like it causes us any extra pain, we already have to do that for all the other sections that we use that often have special characters in them.

This adds the initial dummy support for 'runtime constants' for when an architecture doesn't actually support an implementation of fixing up said runtime constants.

sched_ext: Implement BPF extensible scheduler class
Implement a new scheduler class sched_ext (SCX), which allows scheduling
policies to be implemented as BPF programs to achieve the following:
1. Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration of new
scheduling policies.
2. Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which implement
policies that are not applicable to general-purpose schedulers.
3. Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments.
sched_ext leverages BPF’s struct_ops feature to define a structure which
exports function callbacks and flags to BPF programs that wish to implement
scheduling policies. The struct_ops structure exported by sched_ext is
struct sched_ext_ops, and is conceptually similar to struct sched_class. The
role of sched_ext is to map the complex sched_class callbacks to the more
simple and ergonomic struct sched_ext_ops callbacks.
For more detailed discussion on the motivations and overview, please refer
to the cover letter.
Later patches will also add several example schedulers and documentation.
This patch implements the minimum core framework to enable implementation of
BPF schedulers. Subsequent patches will gradually add functionalities
including safety guarantee mechanisms, nohz and cgroup support.
include/linux/sched/ext.h defines struct sched_ext_ops. With the comment on
top, each operation should be self-explanatory. The followings are worth
noting:
- Both "sched_ext" and its shorthand "scx" are used. If the identifier
already has "sched" in it, "ext" is used; otherwise, "scx".
- In sched_ext_ops, only .name is mandatory. Every operation is optional and
if omitted a simple but functional default behavior is provided.
- A new policy constant SCHED_EXT is added and a task can select sched_ext
by invoking sched_setscheduler(2) with the new policy constant. However,
if the BPF scheduler is not loaded, SCHED_EXT is the same as SCHED_NORMAL
and the task is scheduled by CFS. When the BPF scheduler is loaded, all
tasks which have the SCHED_EXT policy are switched to sched_ext.
- To bridge the workflow imbalance between the scheduler core and
sched_ext_ops callbacks, sched_ext uses simple FIFOs called dispatch
queues (dsq's). By default, there is one global dsq (SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL), and
one local per-CPU dsq (SCX_DSQ_LOCAL). SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL is provided for
convenience and need not be used by a scheduler that doesn't require it.
SCX_DSQ_LOCAL is the per-CPU FIFO that sched_ext pulls from when putting
the next task on the CPU. The BPF scheduler can manage an arbitrary number
of dsq's using scx_bpf_create_dsq() and scx_bpf_destroy_dsq().
- sched_ext guarantees system integrity no matter what the BPF scheduler
does. To enable this, each task's ownership is tracked through
p->scx.ops_state and all tasks are put on scx_tasks list. The disable path
can always recover and revert all tasks back to CFS. See p->scx.ops_state
and scx_tasks.
- A task is not tied to its rq while enqueued. This decouples CPU selection
from queueing and allows sharing a scheduling queue across an arbitrary
subset of CPUs. This adds some complexities as a task may need to be
bounced between rq's right before it starts executing. See
dispatch_to_local_dsq() and move_task_to_local_dsq().
- One complication that arises from the above weak association between task
and rq is that synchronizing with dequeue() gets complicated as dequeue()
may happen anytime while the task is enqueued and the dispatch path might
need to release the rq lock to transfer the task. Solving this requires a
bit of complexity. See the logic around p->scx.sticky_cpu and
p->scx.ops_qseq.
- Both enable and disable paths are a bit complicated. The enable path
switches all tasks without blocking to avoid issues which can arise from
partially switched states (e.g. the switching task itself being starved).
The disable path can't trust the BPF scheduler at all, so it also has to
guarantee forward progress without blocking. See scx_ops_enable() and
scx_ops_disable_workfn().
- When sched_ext is disabled, static_branches are used to shut down the
entry points from hot paths.
v7: - scx_ops_bypass() was incorrectly and unnecessarily trying to grab
scx_ops_enable_mutex which can lead to deadlocks in the disable path.
Fixed.
- Fixed TASK_DEAD handling bug in scx_ops_enable() path which could lead
to use-after-free.
- Consolidated per-cpu variable usages and other cleanups.
v6: - SCX_NR_ONLINE_OPS replaced with SCX_OPI_*_BEGIN/END so that multiple
groups can be expressed. Later CPU hotplug operations are put into
their own group.
- SCX_OPS_DISABLING state is replaced with the new bypass mechanism
which allows temporarily putting the system into simple FIFO
scheduling mode bypassing the BPF scheduler. In addition to the shut
down path, this will also be used to isolate the BPF scheduler across
PM events. Enabling and disabling the bypass mode requires iterating
all runnable tasks. rq->scx.runnable_list addition is moved from the
later watchdog patch.
- ops.prep_enable() is replaced with ops.init_task() and
ops.enable/disable() are now called whenever the task enters and
leaves sched_ext instead of when the task becomes schedulable on
sched_ext and stops being so. A new operation - ops.exit_task() - is
called when the task stops being schedulable on sched_ext.
- scx_bpf_dispatch() can now be called from ops.select_cpu() too. This
removes the need for communicating local dispatch decision made by
ops.select_cpu() to ops.enqueue() via per-task storage.
SCX_KF_SELECT_CPU is added to support the change.
- SCX_TASK_ENQ_LOCAL which told the BPF scheudler that
scx_select_cpu_dfl() wants the task to be dispatched to the local DSQ
was removed. Instead, scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() now dispatches directly
if it finds a suitable idle CPU. If such behavior is not desired,
users can use scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() which returns the verdict in a
bool out param.
- scx_select_cpu_dfl() was mishandling WAKE_SYNC and could end up
queueing many tasks on a local DSQ which makes tasks to execute in
order while other CPUs stay idle which made some hackbench numbers
really bad. Fixed.
- The current state of sched_ext can now be monitored through files
under /sys/sched_ext instead of /sys/kernel/debug/sched/ext. This is
to enable monitoring on kernels which don't enable debugfs.
- sched_ext wasn't telling BPF that ops.dispatch()'s @prev argument may
be NULL and a BPF scheduler which derefs the pointer without checking
could crash the kernel. Tell BPF. This is currently a bit ugly. A
better way to annotate this is expected in the future.
- scx_exit_info updated to carry pointers to message buffers instead of
embedding them directly. This decouples buffer sizes from API so that
they can be changed without breaking compatibility.
- exit_code added to scx_exit_info. This is used to indicate different
exit conditions on non-error exits and will be used to handle e.g. CPU
hotplugs.
- The patch "sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to switch all eligible
tasks into sched_ext" is folded in and the interface is changed so
that partial switching is indicated with a new ops flag
%SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL. This makes scx_bpf_switch_all() unnecessasry
and in turn SCX_KF_INIT. ops.init() is now called with
SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Code reorganized so that only the parts necessary to integrate with
the rest of the kernel are in the header files.
- Changes to reflect the BPF and other kernel changes including the
addition of bpf_sched_ext_ops.cfi_stubs.

kallsyms: Avoid weak references for kallsyms symbols
kallsyms is a directory of all the symbols in the vmlinux binary, and so creating it is somewhat of a chicken-and-egg problem, as its non-zero size affects the layout of the binary, and therefore the values of the symbols. For this reason, the kernel is linked more than once, and the first pass does not include any kallsyms data at all. For the linker to accept this, the symbol declarations describing the kallsyms metadata are emitted as having weak linkage, so they can remain unsatisfied. During the subsequent passes, the weak references are satisfied by the kallsyms metadata that was constructed based on information gathered from the preceding passes. Weak references lead to somewhat worse codegen, because taking their address may need to produce NULL (if the reference was unsatisfied), and this is not usually supported by RIP or PC relative symbol references. Given that these references are ultimately always satisfied in the final link, let's drop the weak annotation, and instead, provide fallback definitions in the linker script that are only emitted if an unsatisfied reference exists. While at it, drop the FRV specific annotation that these symbols reside in .rodata - FRV is long gone.

lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when the feature is enabled. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory allocation profiling instrumentation. Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation profiling by default.

x86: Rename __{start,end}_init_task to __{start,end}_init_stack
The stack of a task has been separated from the memory of a task_struct struture for a long time on x86, as a result __{start,end}_init_task no longer mark the start and end of the init_task structure, but its stack only. Rename __{start,end}_init_task to __{start,end}_init_stack. Note other architectures are not affected because __{start,end}_init_task are used on x86 only.

treewide: update LLVM Bugzilla links
LLVM moved their issue tracker from their own Bugzilla instance to GitHub issues. While all of the links are still valid, they may not necessarily show the most up to date information around the issues, as all updates will occur on GitHub, not Bugzilla. Another complication is that the Bugzilla issue number is not always the same as the GitHub issue number. Thankfully, LLVM maintains this mapping through two shortlinks: https://llvm.org/bz<num> -> https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=<num> https://llvm.org/pr<num> -> https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/<mapped_num> Switch all "https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=<num>" links to the "https://llvm.org/pr<num>" shortlink so that the links show the most up to date information. Each migrated issue links back to the Bugzilla entry, so there should be no loss of fidelity of information here.

kunit: add KUNIT_INIT_TABLE to init linker section
Add KUNIT_INIT_TABLE to the INIT_DATA linker section. Alter the KUnit macros to create init tests: kunit_test_init_section_suites Update lib/kunit/executor.c to run both the suites in KUNIT_TABLE and KUNIT_INIT_TABLE.

kunit: move KUNIT_TABLE out of INIT_DATA
Alter the linker section of KUNIT_TABLE to move it out of INIT_DATA and into DATA_DATA. Data for KUnit tests does not need to be in the init section. In order to run tests again after boot the KUnit data cannot be labeled as init data as the kernel could write over it. Add a KUNIT_INIT_TABLE in the next patch for KUnit tests that test init data/functions.
