MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: Fix appended dtb not properly aligned

MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: Fix appended dtb not properly aligned

Commit 6654111c893f ("MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: align raw appended dtb to 8
bytes") changed the alignment from STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes to 8 bytes.

The commit's message makes it sound like it was actually done on
purpose, but this is not the case. The commit was written when raw
appended dtb were not aligned at all. The STRUCT_ALIGN() was added a few
days before, in commit 7a05293af39f ("MIPS: boot/compressed: Copy DTB to
aligned address"). The true purpose of the commit was not to align
specifically to 8 bytes, but to make sure that the generated vmlinux'
size was properly padded to the alignment required for DTBs.

While the switch to 8-byte alignment worked for vmlinux-appended dtb
blobs, it broke vmlinuz-appended dtb blobs, as the decompress routine
moves the blob to a STRUCT_ALIGNMENT aligned address.

Fix this by changing the raw appended dtb blob alignment from 8 bytes
back to STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes in vmlinux.lds.S.

which included the upstream commit 5e735860c478 ("libfdt: Check for
8-byte address alignment in fdt_ro_probe_()").

This broke the MIPS raw appended DTBs which would be appended to
the image immediately following the initramfs section. This ends
with a 32bit size, resulting in a 4-byte alignment of the DTB.

Fix by padding with zeroes to 8-bytes when MIPS_RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is defined.

Commit 866b6a89c6d1 ("MIPS: Add DWARF unwinding to assembly") added
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to prevent compiler

However, as MIPS heavily uses CFI, that's not enough. Use the
approach taken for x86 (as it also uses CFI) and explicitly put CFI
symbols into the .debug_frame section (except for VDSO).
This allows us to drop .eh_frame from DISCARDS as it's no longer
being generated.

MIPS: CPS: don't create redundant .text.cps-vec section

A number of symbols from arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S is explicitly
placed into '.text.cps-vec' section.
There are no direct references to this section, so there's no need
to form it. '.balign 0x1000' directive will work anyway.

Moreover, this section was being placed in vmlinux differently
depending on CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION:
- with this option enabled, '.text.cps-vec' was being caught
by '.text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*' from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h;
- without this option, '.text.cps-vec' was being caught
by discouraging '.text.*' from arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.

'.text.*' should not be used in vmlinux linker scripts at all as it
silently catches any orphan text sections.
So, remove both '.section .text.cps-vec' and '.text.*' from cps-vec.S
and vmlinux.lds.S respectively. As said, this does not affect related
functions alignment:

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Caused by:

19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

MIPS: Ensure bss section ends on a long-aligned address

When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S
instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal
the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss
section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment
the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon
the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the
case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the
non-long-aligned end address & we will continue to increment past the
end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory.

Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass
0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus
don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error
condition described above.

Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to
the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is
always at least long-aligned.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

MIPS: Reserve space for relocation table

When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, add a new section in the memory map
to be filled with relocation data.

CONFIG_RELOCATION_TABLE_SIZE allows the amount of space reserved to be
adjusted if necessary.

The relocs tool will populate this reserved space with relocation
information. The space is reserved within the elf by filling it with
0's, and an invalid entry is left at the start of the space such that
kernel relocation will be aborted if the table is empty.
