with AutoFDO
When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections enabled, the split()
function gets compiled into the .text.split section. In some cases it
can even be cloned into .text.split.constprop.0 or .text.split.isra.0.
However, .text.split.* is already reserved for use by the Clang
-fsplit-machine-functions flag, which is used by AutoFDO. That may
place part of a function's code in a .text.split.<func> section.
This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place
split() with other .text.split.* code, rather than where it belongs with
regular text.
Fix it by renaming split() to split_strings().

-ffunction-sections
When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections (e.g., for LTO,
livepatch, dead code elimination, AutoFDO, or Propeller), the startup()
function gets compiled into the .text.startup section. In some cases it
can even be cloned into .text.startup.constprop.0 or
.text.startup.isra.0.
However, the .text.startup and .text.startup.* section names are already
reserved for use by the compiler for __attribute__((constructor)) code.
This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place
startup() function code in .init.text, which gets freed during boot.
Fix that by renaming startup() to ov2722_startup().

Since:
6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN")
the TEXT_MAIN macro uses a series of patterns to prevent the
.text.startup[.*] and .text.exit[.*] sections from getting
linked into the vmlinux runtime .text.
That commit is a tad too aggressive: it also inadvertently filters out
valid runtime text sections like .text.start and
.text.start.constprop.0, which can be generated for a function named
start() when -ffunction-sections is enabled.
As a result, those sections become orphans when building with
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for arm:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/usb/host/sl811-hcd.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxk_hard.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0910.o' being placed in section `.text.start'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-sx8.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0'
Fix that by explicitly adding the partial "substring" sections (.text.s,
.text.st, .text.sta, etc) and their cloned derivatives.
While this unfortunately means that TEXT_MAIN continues to grow,
these changes are ultimately necessary for proper support of
-ffunction-sections.

Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> says:
Hi,
=== Current situation: problems ===
Let's consider a nohz_full system with isolated CPUs: wq_unbound_cpumask is
set to the housekeeping CPUs, for !WQ_UNBOUND the local CPU is selected.
This leads to different scenarios if a work item is scheduled on an
isolated CPU where "delay" value is 0 or greater then 0:
schedule_delayed_work(, 0);
This will be handled by __queue_work() that will queue the work item on the
current local (isolated) CPU, while:
schedule_delayed_work(, 1);
Will move the timer on an housekeeping CPU, and schedule the work there.
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
=== Recent changes to the WQ API ===
The following, address the recent changes in the Workqueue API:
- commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
- commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
The old workqueues will be removed in a future release cycle.
=== Introduced Changes by this series ===
1) [P 1] Replace uses of system_wq and system_unbound_wq
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
Because of that, system_unbound_wq has been replaced with
system_dfl_wq, to make clear it should be used when locality
is not required.
2) [P 2-3-4] WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue()
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
Thanks!

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

This adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request to alloc_workqueue()
to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

This patch continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has
begun with the change introducing new workqueues and a new
alloc_workqueue flag:
commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
system_dfl_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.
The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

====================
net: stmmac: convert glue drivers to use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel()
This series converts the remaining glue drivers that support
multi-interface to use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel(). The reason these
drivers are not converted to the set_phy_intf_sel() method is
because it is unclear whether there are ordering dependencies that
would prevent it.
For example, reading the stm32mp2 documentation, it is required to
set the ETH1_SEL field while the dwmac core is in reset and before
clocks are enabled. This requirement can not be satsified at the
moment (but could with further changes.)

Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value, validate the result and use that to set the
control register to select the operating mode for the DWMAC core.
Note that this will allow GMII as well as MII as the phy_intf_sel
value is the same for both.

Convert dwmac-visconti to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions. The
original definitions used constant 0, BIT(0) (==1) and BIT(2) (==4)
to define these, but the values of the bits corresponds with the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x values, so it is highly likely that these are not
individual bits, but the PHY_INTF_SEL_x bitfield.
This removes this incorrect use of BIT().

Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value. As both configure functions would end up with the
same code, call this from stm32mp1_set_mode(), validate the result and
pass the resulting value into the stm32 configure function. Use this
value to set the operating mode for the DWMAC core.

Convert dwmac-stm32 to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions.
For stm32mp1, the original definitions used constant 0 (GMII, 0 << 21),
BIT(21) (RGMII, 1 << 21) and BIT(23) (RMII, 4 << 21) to define these,
but from the values it can be clearly seen that these are the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x inputs to the dwmac.
For stm32mp2, the original definitions cover a bitfield 6:4 in the
SYSCFG Ethernet1 control register (according to documentation) and use
the PHY_INTF_SEL_x values.
Use the common dwmac definitions for the PHY interface selection field
by adding the bitfield mask, and using FIELD_PREP() for the bitfield
values.
This removes this incorrect use of BIT().

For NICs with a large (1024+) number of queues, this test can cause
excessive memory fragmentation. This results in OOM errors, and in the
worst case driver/kernel crashes. We don't need to test with the max number
of queues, just enough to create a high likelihood of races between
reconfiguration and stats getting read.

The driver calls ioport_map() to map I/O ports in sim710_probe_common()
but never calls ioport_unmap() to release the mapping. This causes
resource leaks in both the error path when request_irq() fails and in
the normal device removal path via sim710_device_remove().
Add ioport_unmap() calls in the out_release error path and in
sim710_device_remove().
