always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y
James Bottomley recently discovered that we have
{request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual
functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was
actually causing build errors for built-in users with
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m.
But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at
compile-time at all and can become runtime problems.
FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely
enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels
(and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able
to disable it.
This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to
disable it with EMBEDDED=y.
As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due
to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from
our Kconfig files.

There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.
What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
seems counter productive.
2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
environment like an initramfs.

happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic

this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data
into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address).
To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy"
segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a
non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the
"notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load
address will be zero.

When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of

| PCI: ACPI PCI slot detection driver
|
| Detect all physical PCI slots as described by ACPI, and create entries in
| /sys/bus/pci/slots/.
I.e. the new CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_SLOT=y option was causing this crash.
But the bug is not mainly in this new PCI code - that code was just
hitting the ACPI code in a new way which made ACPI break.
The crash signature shows that we are crashing on this instruction:
movb $0x0, (%ecx, %ebx, 1)
ECX and EBX are 0x10 and -1. It's this line in
drivers/acpi/namespace/nsnames.c's acpi_ns_build_external_path():
name_buffer[index] = 0;
I.e. name_buffer is 0x10 and index is -1.
index -1 corresponds to size 0, and name_buffer 0x10 is slab's
ZERO_SIZE_PTR special-case for zero-sized allocations.
I.e. when we called acpi_ns_handle_to_pathname(), we got required_size
of 0 due to an error condition, but this is passed to the ACPI allocator
unconditionally:
status = acpi_ut_initialize_buffer(buffer, required_size);
if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
return_ACPI_STATUS(status);
}
Where acpi_ut_initialize_buffer(), through many (unnecessary) layers,
ends up calling kzalloc(0). Which returns 0x10 and that then causes the
crash later on.
So fix both callers of acpi_ns_get_pathname_length(), which can return 0
in case of an invalid node.
Also add a WARN_ON() against zero sized allocations in
acpi_ut_initialize_buffer() to make it easier to find similar instances
of this bug.
I have tested this patch for the past 24 hours and the crash has not
reappeared.
