Linus,

# HEAD: dd88a0a0c8615417fe6b4285769b5b772de87279 objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

The main highlights for this cycle are:

- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.

The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is
used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is
flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an
external toolchain.

The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of
tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is
also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a
single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on
wood!)

But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably:

With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text
size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer
instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average
speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by
Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution
intense workloads.

The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in
RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a
modest cost on modern x86 systems.

Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but
given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default
unwinder on x86.

See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of
concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction
(removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal.
(Juergen Gross)

- Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)

- Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko)

- Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby)

Thanks,

Ingo
