Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless. Put it back for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to document such features. This reverts commit 2bef69a3. Signed-off-by:

Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch. Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows. GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN. Signed-off-by:

Commit 669f6f96 introduced the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch": ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')} It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007). I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023 But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation. Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh. Signed-off-by:

The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features that need per architecture support. The structure of the feature descriptions is the following: Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/, and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status. For example, lockdep support is shown the following way: triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt # # Feature name: lockdep # Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT # description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility # ----------------------- | arch |status| ----------------------- | alpha: | TODO | | arc: | ok | | arm: | ok | | arm64: | ok | | avr32: | ok | | blackfin: | ok | | c6x: | TODO | | cris: | TODO | | frv: | TODO | | h8300: | TODO | | hexagon: | ok | | ia64: | TODO | | m32r: | TODO | | m68k: | TODO | | metag: | ok | | microblaze: | ok | | mips: | ok | | mn10300: | TODO | | nios2: | TODO | | openrisc: | TODO | | parisc: | TODO | | powerpc: | ok | | s390: | ok | | score: | ok | | sh: | ok | | sparc: | ok | | tile: | ok | | um: | ok | | unicore32: | ok | | x86: | ok | | xtensa: | ok | ----------------------- For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures. The meaning of entries in the tables is: | ok | # feature supported by the architecture |TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture | .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware This directory structure can be used in the future to add other files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc. The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as supported. To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something like: triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt which will print the list of not yet supported features. The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current support matrix of one architecture: triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh # # Kernel feature support matrix of the 'x86' architecture: # core/ BPF-JIT : ok | HAVE_BPF_JIT # arch supports BPF JIT optimizations core/ generic-idle-thread : ok | GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD # arch makes use of the generic SMP idle thread facility core/ jump-labels : ok | HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL # arch supports live patched, high efficiency branches core/ tracehook : ok | HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK # arch supports tracehook (ptrace) register handling APIs debug/ gcov-profile-all : ok | ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL # arch supports whole-kernel GCOV code coverage profiling debug/ KASAN : ok | HAVE_ARCH_KASAN # arch supports the KASAN runtime memory checker debug/ kgdb : ok | HAVE_ARCH_KGDB # arch supports the kGDB kernel debugger debug/ kprobes : ok | HAVE_KPROBES # arch supports live patched kernel probe debug/ kprobes-on-ftrace : ok | HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE # arch supports combined kprobes and ftrace live patching debug/ kretprobes : ok | HAVE_KRETPROBES # arch supports kernel function-return probes debug/ optprobes : ok | HAVE_OPTPROBES # arch supports live patched optprobes debug/ stackprotector : ok | HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR # arch supports compiler driven stack overflow protection debug/ uprobes : ok | ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES # arch supports live patched user probes debug/ user-ret-profiler : ok | HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER # arch supports user-space return from system call profiler io/ dma-api-debug : ok | HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG # arch supports DMA debug facilities io/ dma-contiguous : ok | HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS # arch supports the DMA CMA (continuous memory allocator) io/ dma_map_attrs : ok | HAVE_DMA_ATTRS # arch provides dma_*map*_attrs() APIs io/ sg-chain : ok | ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN # arch supports chained scatter-gather lists lib/ strncasecmp : TODO | __HAVE_ARCH_STRNCASECMP # arch provides an optimized strncasecmp() function locking/ cmpxchg-local : ok | HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL # arch supports the this_cpu_cmpxchg() API locking/ lockdep : ok | LOCKDEP_SUPPORT # arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility locking/ queued-rwlocks : ok | ARCH_USE_QUEUED_RWLOCKS # arch supports queued rwlocks locking/ queued-spinlocks : ok | ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS # arch supports queued spinlocks locking/ rwsem-optimized : ok | Optimized asm/rwsem.h # arch provides optimized rwsem APIs perf/ kprobes-event : ok | HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API # arch supports kprobes with perf events perf/ perf-regs : ok | HAVE_PERF_REGS # arch supports perf events register access perf/ perf-stackdump : ok | HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP # arch supports perf events stack dumps sched/ numa-balancing : ok | ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING # arch supports NUMA balancing seccomp/ seccomp-filter : ok | HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER # arch supports seccomp filters time/ arch-tick-broadcast : TODO | ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST # arch provides tick_broadcast() time/ clockevents : ok | GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS # arch support generic clock events time/ context-tracking : ok | HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING # arch supports context tracking for NO_HZ_FULL time/ irq-time-acct : ok | HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING # arch supports precise IRQ time accounting time/ modern-timekeeping : ok | !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET # arch does not use arch_gettimeoffset() anymore time/ virt-cpuacct : ok | HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING # arch supports precise virtual CPU time accounting vm/ ELF-ASLR : ok | ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE # arch randomizes the stack, heap and binary images of ELF binaries vm/ huge-vmap : ok | HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP # arch supports the ioremap_pud_enabled() and ioremap_pmd_enabled() VM APIs vm/ ioremap_prot : ok | HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT # arch has ioremap_prot() vm/ numa-memblock : ok | HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP # arch supports NUMA aware memblocks vm/ PG_uncached : ok | ARCH_USES_PG_UNCACHED # arch supports the PG_uncached page flag vm/ pmdp_splitting_flush : ok | __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_SPLITTING_FLUSH # arch supports the pmdp_splitting_flush() VM API vm/ pte_special : ok | __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL # arch supports the pte_special()/pte_mkspecial() VM APIs vm/ THP : ok | HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE # arch supports transparent hugepages Cc: <linux-api@vger.kernel.org> Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Cc: <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: H.
