cover Generic infrastructure for unloading initramfs

This patch series extracts out code for unloading the initramfs that was identical across 14 architectures, and moves those architectures to the common code path. Additionally, RISC-V is newly moved to the common code path.

In addition to reducing duplication, this allows us to bring future improvements (such as generalizing existing "keep initrd" command line options) to multiple architectures at once.

In powerpc this was an __init function. Why not also put the generic one in __init section ?

Given how trivial this is and how many architectures can use it I'd reverse the polarity and add a CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_FREE_INITRD_MEM instead.

Given how trivial this is and how many architectures can use it I'd reverse the polarity and add a CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_FREE_INITRD_MEM instead.

And while adding "special" functionality to the generic version, more and more users of CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_FREE_INITRD_MEM will be removed.

v2 cover Generic infrastructure for unloading initramfs

In reply to Shea Levy

This patch series extracts out code for unloading the initramfs that was identical across 14 architectures, and moves those architectures to the common code path. Additionally, RISC-V is newly moved to the common code path.

In addition to reducing duplication, this allows us to bring future improvements (such as generalizing existing "keep initrd" command line options) to multiple architectures at once.

v2: Mark generic free_initrd_mem __init.

PATCH 1/1 Extract initrd free logic from arch-specific code.

In reply to Shea Levy

Now only those architectures that have custom initrd free requirements need to define free_initrd_mem.

Isn't this why weak symbols were invented?

This approach was suggested by Christoph Hellwig upthread, and seems to have some precedent elsewhere (e.g. strncasecmp), but I agree weak symbols seem appropriate here. I'm happy to implement either approach!

Isn't this why weak symbols were invented?

Weak symbols means that we end up with both the weakly-referenced code and the arch code in the kernel image. That's fine if the weak code is small.

Probably, if anyone bothered to use that, which they don't.

LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is a symbol without a prompt, and from what I can see, nothing selects it. Therefore, the symbol is always disabled, and so the feature never gets used in mainline kernels.

Brings up the obvious question - why is it there if it's completely unused? (Maybe to cause confusion, and allowing a justification for __weak ?)

Yeah I had started some patches for powerpc and x86 that have ended up on the back burner. There's been some MIPS people playing with it too.

For the kernel, LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is not great. It can save a little, but you get issues like any exception table entry or bug table entry in a function will create a reference back to the function, so the linker can't trim it away even if nothing else references it.

I'll try to take another look at it within the next few months and remove it if I can't make progress.

Nicolas Pitre has been doing some much better work on dead code using real LTO.

Thanks,
Nick

IIRC Nick had some patches to do the arch enablement for powerpc, but I'm not sure what happened to them though. I suspect it just fell down Nick's ever growing TODO list.

I've given it a go on ARM, marking every linker-built table with KEEP() and comparing the System.map files. The resulting kernel is around 150k smaller, which seems good.

However, it doesn't boot - and I don't know why. Booting the kernel under kvmtool in a VM using virtio-console, I can find no way to get any kernel messages out of it. Using lkvm debug, I can see that the PC is stuck inside die(), and that's the only information I have. It dies before bringing up the other CPUs, so it's a very early death.

I don't think other console types are available under ARM64.

earlycon?

Through what - as I say above, I think the only thing that's present is virtio-console, and the virtio stack only get initialised much later in boot.

Eg, there's the memory-based virtio driver which interfaces any virtio driver to a memory-based ring structures for communication with the host (drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c) which is initialised at module_init() time, and so isn't available for earlycon.

I don't think merely changing the module_init() calls in the appropriate virtio bits will suffice - it's why I pointed out that it dies before SMP initialisation, which also means that it dies before we start running the initcalls for subsystems and drivers.

I'm not aware of there being an emulated UART in the guest's address space, so serial based stuff doesn't work.

IIRC Nick had some patches to do the arch enablement for powerpc, but I'm not sure what happened to them though. I suspect it just fell down Nick's ever growing TODO list.

I've given it a go on ARM, marking every linker-built table with KEEP() and comparing the System.map files. The resulting kernel is around 150k smaller, which seems good.

However, it doesn't boot - and I don't know why. Booting the kernel under kvmtool in a VM using virtio-console, I can find no way to get any kernel messages out of it. Using lkvm debug, I can see that the PC is stuck inside die(), and that's the only information I have. It dies before bringing up the other CPUs, so it's a very early death.

earlycon?

Through what - as I say above, I think the only thing that's present is virtio-console, and the virtio stack only get initialised much later in boot.

Eg, there's the memory-based virtio driver which interfaces any virtio driver to a memory-based ring structures for communication with the host (drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.c) which is initialised at module_init() time, and so isn't available for earlycon.

Quoted 7 lines

I don't think merely changing the module_init() calls in the appropriate virtio bits will suffice - it's why I pointed out that it dies before SMP initialisation, which also means that it dies before we start running the initcalls for subsystems and drivers.

I'm not aware of there being an emulated UART in the guest's address space, so serial based stuff doesn't work.

"earlycon=uart,mmio,0x3f8" is what you're looking for:

qemu-system-arm's "-s" option lets you hook to the hardware with gdb, as if using one of those jtags that speaks gdbserver protocol. It stops waiting for you to attach with 'target remote' it, then 'file vmlinux' to load the symbols...

The miniconfig and qemu invocation I use for arm64 are attached, tested with 2.11.0 on a 4.14 kernel. You should be able to just "qemu-aarch64.sh -s" and then probably "target remote 127.0.0.1:1234"? (Been a while since I've used it, don't have a cross-gdb for arm64 lying around...)

Sigh, I just tried -s and qemu 2.11.0 is _not_ waiting for gdb to attach on arm64, despite what the docs say:

$ qemu-system-aarch64 --help | grep gdb
-gdb dev        wait for gdb connection on 'dev'
-s              shorthand for -gdb tcp::1234

Another random regression in qemu, gee what a surprise.

I don't think other console types are available under ARM64.

I've often found useful the two line version of:

https://balau82.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/hello-world-for-bare-metal-arm-using-qemu/

Which is generally some variant of:

{char *XX = "blah"; while (*XX) {while (*SERIAL_STATUS_REGISTER & OUT_READY); *SERIAL_OUT = *XX++;}}

(I.E. balu cheated not spinning checking the ready-for-next-byte bit, because qemu's always angry.)

That trick lets you cut and paste a print statement into all sorts of early hardware nonsense, on most architectures. You just have to look up SERIAL_STATUS_REGISTER, OUT_OK_BIT, and SERIAL_OUT values for the serial port du jour.

That said I've mostly used it in things like u-boot. I dunno at what point the kernel's done enough setup that direct banging on registers would stop working. (Works in the decompresion code, anyway.) And it assumes the port's set to the right speed (usually left there by the bootloader)...

Presumably it will become the default on architectures as their linker scripts are converted. Once they're all converted the config symbol can go away. (Given the move to requiring gcc 4.7 or whatever it is, there can't be an architecture depending on a toolchain that _doesn't_ support it after that point. I doubt you can pair gcc 4.7 with a >12 year old binutils and expect good things...)

From: Russell King <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] Fix LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION

LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION fails to boot on ARM because the linker eliminates the init thread data from the bottom of the init threads stack. This causes recursive faults that end up overwriting parts of the kernel before they can print any message.

v4 cover Generic initrd_free_mem

In reply to Shea Levy

This patch series extracts out code for unloading the initramfs that was identical across 14 architectures, and moves those architectures to the common code path. Additionally, RISC-V is newly moved to the common code path.

In addition to reducing duplication, this allows us to bring future improvements (such as generalizing existing "keep initrd" command line options) to multiple architectures at once.

v4: Use weak symbols instead of Kconfig.
v3: Make the generic path opt-out instead of opt-in.
v2: Mark generic free_initrd_mem __init.

This looks like a change of behavior since the weakly defined code does not implement a nop.

I'm not saying the change is wrong, but if this is a deliberate bug fix then we need more than an empty commit message to explain what is happening here.

Most people seem to want some form of commit message and not just your sign-off.

And btw:

It seems you used get_maintainer to determine who to send these patches to.

I suggest you add --nogit and --nogit-fallback to the get_maintainer command line you use to avoid sending these patches to people like me that have done drive-by cleanup work on these files.

Yeah please do.

Seeing this patch in isolation, with no change log, I might think it's safe for me to just apply it.

But that would break the build because I don't have patch 1.

So for starters you need to explain that part, eg something like:

A previous patch in the series added a weak definition of free_initrd_mem() in init/initramfs.c.

The powerpc implementation is identical, so it can be removed allowing the generic version to be used.

Then you could also tell me if you did/didn't build/boot test it.

PATCH v5 1/16 initrd: Add weakly-linked generic free_initrd_mem.

In reply to Shea Levy

This function is effectively identical across 14 architectures, and the generic implementation is small enough to be negligible in the architectures that do override it. Many of the remaining divergent implementations can be included in the common code path in future, further reducing code duplication and sharing improvements between architectures.

v5: Add more complete commit messages.
v4: Use weak symbols instead of Kconfig.
v3: Make the generic path opt-out instead of opt-in.
v2: Mark generic free_initrd_mem __init.

PATCH v6 1/16 initrd: Add weakly-linked generic free_initrd_mem.

In reply to Shea Levy

This function is effectively identical across 14 architectures, and the generic implementation is small enough to be negligible in the architectures that do override it. Many of the remaining divergent implementations can be included in the common code path in future, further reducing code duplication and sharing improvements between architectures.

Series boot-tested on RISC-V (which now uses the generic implementation) and x86_64 (which doesn't).

v6: Add information about build/run testing.
v5: Add more complete commit messages.
v4: Use weak symbols instead of Kconfig.
v3: Make the generic path opt-out instead of opt-in.
v2: Mark generic free_initrd_mem __init.

PATCH v6 13/16 parisc: Switch to generic free_initrd_mem.

In reply to Shea Levy

The first patch in this series added a weakly-defined generic implementation, which is functionally identical to the architecture-specific one removed here.

Series boot-tested on RISC-V (which now uses the generic implementation) and x86_64 (which doesn't).

Re: [PATCH v6 01/16] initrd: Add weakly-linked generic free_initrd_mem.

In reply to Shea Levy

Hi all,

Quoted 39 lines · Shea Levy

This function is effectively identical across 14 architectures, and the generic implementation is small enough to be negligible in the architectures that do override it. Many of the remaining divergent implementations can be included in the common code path in future, further reducing code duplication and sharing improvements between architectures.

Series boot-tested on RISC-V (which now uses the generic implementation) and x86_64 (which doesn't).

v6: Add information about build/run testing.
v5: Add more complete commit messages.
v4: Use weak symbols instead of Kconfig.
v3: Make the generic path opt-out instead of opt-in.
v2: Mark generic free_initrd_mem __init.

I'm not sure. I don't really think it's sane for the RISC-V tree because it touches so many architectures -- I haven't looked closely, though. IIRC there's a slight behavior change to the RISC-V port, which I'd be OK taking through my tree (and then obviously the RISC-V cleanup as well, unless it goes in as a whole patch set).

For the IRQ cleanup I currently have in flight

* Add the generic support
* Move every arch over (RISC-V is in, the rest aren't yet)
* Clean up a bit now that everyone is generic

That lets all the arch-specific patches go in parallel, but can be a bit of a headache to manage.

there's a slight behavior change to the RISC-V port, which I'd be OK taking through my tree (and then obviously the RISC-V cleanup as well, unless it goes in as a whole patch set).

So currently the behavior for RISC-V is changed by simply deleting the arch-specific free_initrd_mem, which was a noop. Would you like me to first submit a patch to have the arch-specific free_initrd_mem and then change that in this series?

With the current series, the first patch could go in on its own and all of the arch-specific patches can go in in parallel if we wanted to, but beyond the above-suggested implementation of the RISC-V free_initrd_mem there's no real reordering meaningful here.

Help text would be nice, to tell arch maintainers what the purpose of this switch is.

Also, a nit, I think this should be named "ARCH_HAS_FREE_INITRD_MEM", which is the dominant pattern:

triton:~/tip> git grep 'select.*ARCH' arch/x86/Kconfig* | cut -f2 | cut -d_ -f1-2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

4 select ARCH_SUPPORTS
4 select ARCH_USE
16 select HAVE_ARCH
23 select ARCH_HAS

It also reads nicely in English:

"arch has free_initrd_mem()"

While the other makes little sense:

"have arch free_initrd_mem()"

?

Please also put it into Documentation/features/.

I switched this patch series (the latest revision v6 was just posted) to using weak symbols instead of Kconfig. Does it still warrant documentation?

Help text would be nice, to tell arch maintainers what the purpose of this switch is.

Also, a nit, I think this should be named "ARCH_HAS_FREE_INITRD_MEM", which is the dominant pattern:

triton:~/tip> git grep 'select.*ARCH' arch/x86/Kconfig* | cut -f2 | cut -d_ -f1-2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
...
2 select ARCH_USES
2 select ARCH_WANTS
3 select ARCH_MIGHT
3 select ARCH_WANT
4 select ARCH_SUPPORTS
4 select ARCH_USE
16 select HAVE_ARCH
23 select ARCH_HAS

It also reads nicely in English:

"arch has free_initrd_mem()"

While the other makes little sense:

Quoted 7 lines

"have arch free_initrd_mem()"

?

Thanks,

Probably not.
