modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit

irqchip/mbigen: Fix the clear register offset calculation
The register array offset for clearing an interrupt is calculated by:
offset = (hwirq - RESERVED_IRQ_PER_MBIGEN_CHIP) / 32;
This is wrong because the clear register array includes the reserved
interrupts. So the clear operation ends up in the wrong register.
This went unnoticed so far, because the hardware clears the real bit
through a timeout mechanism when the hardware is configured in debug
mode. That debug mode was enabled on early generations of the hardware, so
the problem was papered over.
On newer hardware with updated firmware the debug mode was disabled, so the
bits did not get cleared which causes the system to malfunction.
Remove the subtraction of RESERVED_IRQ_PER_MBIGEN_CHIP, so the correct
register is accessed.

irqchip/mbigen: Handle multiple device nodes in a mbigen module
Each mbigen device is represented as a independent platform device. If the devices belong to the same mbigen hardware module, then the register space for these devices is the same. That leads to a resource conflict. The solution for this is to represent the mbigen module as a platform device and make the mbigen devices subdevices of that. The register space is associated to the mbigen module and therefor the resource conflict is avoided.

irqchip/mgigen: Add platform device driver for mbigen device
Mbigen means Message Based Interrupt Generator(MBIGEN).
Its a kind of interrupt controller that collects
the interrupts from external devices and generate msi interrupt.
Mbigen is applied to reduce the number of wire connected interrupts.
As the peripherals increasing, the interrupts lines needed is
increasing much, especially on the Arm64 server SOC.
Therefore, the interrupt pin in GIC is not enough to cover so
many peripherals.
Mbigen is designed to fix this problem.
Mbigen chip locates in ITS or outside of ITS.
Mbigen chip hardware structure shows as below:
mbigen chip
|---------------------|-------------------|
mgn_node0 mgn_node1 mgn_node2
| |-------| |-------|------|
dev1 dev1 dev2 dev1 dev3 dev4
Each mbigen chip contains several mbigen nodes.
External devices can connect to mbigen node through wire connecting way.
Because a mbigen node only can support 128 interrupt maximum, depends
on the interrupt lines number of devices, a device can connects to one
more mbigen nodes.
Also, several different devices can connect to a same mbigen node.
When devices triggered interrupt,mbigen chip detects and collects
the interrupts and generates the MBI interrupts by writing the ITS
Translator register.
To simplify mbigen driver,I used a new conception--mbigen device.
Each mbigen device is initialized as a platform device.
Mbigen device presents the parts(register, pin definition etc.) in
mbigen chip corresponding to a peripheral device.
So from software view, the structure likes below
