Revert "kunit: memcpy: Split slow memcpy tests into MEMCPY_SLOW_KUNIT_TEST" This reverts commit 4acf1de35f41549e60c3c02a8defa7cb95eabdf2. Commit d055c6a2cc16 ("kunit: memcpy: Mark tests as slow using test attributes") marks slow memcpy unit tests as slow. Since this commit, the tests can be disabled with a module parameter, and the configuration option to skip the slow tests is no longer needed. Revert the patch introducing it.

livepatch: Move tests from lib/livepatch to selftests/livepatch The modules are being moved from lib/livepatch to tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules. This code moving will allow writing more complex tests, like for example an userspace C code that will call a livepatched kernel function. The modules are now built as out-of-tree modules, but being part of the kernel source means they will be maintained. Another advantage of the code moving is to be able to easily change, debug and rebuild the tests by running make on the selftests/livepatch directory, which is not currently possible since the modules on lib/livepatch are build and installed using the "modules" target. The current approach also keeps the ability to execute the tests manually by executing the scripts inside selftests/livepatch directory, as it's currently supported. If the modules are modified, they needed to be rebuilt before running the scripts though. The modules are built before running the selftests when using the kselftest invocations: make kselftest TARGETS=livepatch or make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch run_tests Having the modules being built as out-of-modules requires changing the currently used 'modprobe' by 'insmod' and adapt the test scripts that check for the kernel message buffer. Now it is possible to only compile the modules by running: make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/ This way the test modules and other test program can be built in order to be packaged if so desired. As there aren't any modules being built on lib/livepatch, remove the TEST_LIVEPATCH Kconfig and it's references. Note: "make gen_tar" packages the pre-built binaries into the tarball. It means that it will store the test modules pre-built for the kernel running on the build host. Note that these modules need not binary compatible with the kernel built from the same sources. But the same is true for other packaged selftest binaries. The entire kernel sources are needed for rebuilding the selftests on another system.

riscv: Restrict DWARF5 when building with LLVM to known working versions LLVM prior to 18.0.0 would generate incorrect debug info for DWARF5 due to linker relaxation, which was worked around in clang by defaulting RISC-V to DWARF4 [1]. Unfortunately, this workaround does not work for the kernel because the DWARF version can be independently changed from the default in Kconfig. Do not allow DWARF5 to be selected for RISC-V when using linker relaxation (ld.lld >= 15.0.0) and a version of LLVM that does not have the fixes (the integrated assembler [2] and ld.lld [3] < 18.0.0) necessary to generate the correct debug info.

Because kernel modules are relocatable files, elfutils needs to resolve relocations when processing the DWARF .debug sections.

kcov: remove stale RANDOMIZE_BASE text The Kconfig help text for CONFIG_KCOV describes that recorded PC values will not be stable across machines or reboots when RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected. This was the case when KCOV was introduced in commit: 5c9a8750a6409c63 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage") However, this changed in commit: 4983f0ab7ffaad1e ("kcov: make kcov work properly with KASLR enabled") Since that commit KCOV always subtracts the KASLR offset from PC values, which ensures that these are stable across machines and across reboots even when RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected. Unfortunately, that commit failed to update the Kconfig help text, which still suggests disabling RANDOMIZE_BASE even though this is no longer necessary. Remove the stale Kconfig text.

All threads on different cores run in the same pace 2) group 2: synchronous mode + hrtimer this case have 2 customers: normal threads and hrtimer softirqs 3) group 3: synchronous + overrun mode This test group is mainly for performance evaluation of missing cases when pre-allocated objects are less than the requested 4) group 4: asynchronous mode This case is just an emulation of kretprobe, with refcount used to control the objpool lifecycle 5) group 5: asynchronous mode with hrtimer hrtimer softirq is introduced to stress async objpool operations Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231017135654.82270-3-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/ Signed-off-by: wuqiang.matt <wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

riscv: enable DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B Allow to force all function address 64B aligned as it is possible for other architectures. This may be useful when verify if performance bump is caused by function alignment changes. Before commit 1bf18da62106 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: add ARCH dependency for FUNCTION_ALIGN option"), riscv supports enabling the DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B option, but after that commit, each arch needs to claim the support explicitly.

hardening: Move BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION to hardening options BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION is turning detected corruptions of list data structures from WARNings into BUGs. This can be useful to stop further corruptions or even exploitation attempts. However, the option has less to do with debugging than with hardening. With the introduction of LIST_HARDENED, it makes more sense to move it to the hardening options, where it selects LIST_HARDENED instead. Without this change, combining BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION with LIST_HARDENED alone wouldn't be possible, because DEBUG_LIST would always be selected by BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION.

list: Introduce CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED Numerous production kernel configs (see [1, 2]) are choosing to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, which is also being recommended by KSPP for hardened configs [3]. The motivation behind this is that the option can be used as a security hardening feature (e.g. CVE-2019-2215 and CVE-2019-2025 are mitigated by the option [4]). The feature has never been designed with performance in mind, yet common list manipulation is happening across hot paths all over the kernel. Introduce CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED, which performs list pointer checking inline, and only upon list corruption calls the reporting slow path. To generate optimal machine code with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED: 1. Elide checking for pointer values which upon dereference would result in an immediate access fault (i.e. minimal hardening checks). The trade-off is lower-quality error reports. 2. Use the __preserve_most function attribute (available with Clang, but not yet with GCC) to minimize the code footprint for calling the reporting slow path. As a result, function size of callers is reduced by avoiding saving registers before calling the rarely called reporting slow path. Note that all TUs in lib/Makefile already disable function tracing, including list_debug.c, and __preserve_most's implied notrace has no effect in this case. 3. Because the inline checks are a subset of the full set of checks in __list_*_valid_or_report(), always return false if the inline checks failed. This avoids redundant compare and conditional branch right after return from the slow path. As a side-effect of the checks being inline, if the compiler can prove some condition to always be true, it can completely elide some checks. Since DEBUG_LIST is functionally a superset of LIST_HARDENED, the Kconfig variables are changed to reflect that: DEBUG_LIST selects LIST_HARDENED, whereas LIST_HARDENED itself has no dependency on DEBUG_LIST. Running netperf with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED (using a Clang compiler with "preserve_most") shows throughput improvements, in my case of ~7% on average (up to 20-30% on some test cases).

kunit: memcpy: Mark tests as slow using test attributes Mark slow memcpy KUnit tests using test attributes. Tests marked as slow are as follows: memcpy_large_test, memmove_test, memmove_large_test, and memmove_overlap_test. These tests were the slowest of the memcpy tests and relatively slower to most other KUnit tests. Most of these tests are already skipped when CONFIG_MEMCPY_SLOW_KUNIT_TEST is not enabled. These tests can now be filtered using the KUnit test attribute filtering feature. Example: --filter "speed>slow". This will run only the tests that have speeds faster than slow. The slow attribute will also be outputted in KTAP. Note: This patch is intended to replace the use of CONFIG_MEMCPY_SLOW_KUNIT_TEST and to potentially deprecate this feature. This patch does not remove the config option but does add a note to the config definition commenting on this future shift.

rust: support running Rust documentation tests as KUnit ones Rust has documentation tests: these are typically examples of usage of any item (e.g. function, struct, module...). They are very convenient because they are just written alongside the documentation. For instance: /// Sums two numbers. /// /// ``` /// assert_eq!(mymod::f(10, 20), 30); /// ``` pub fn f(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b } In userspace, the tests are collected and run via `rustdoc`. Using the tool as-is would be useful already, since it allows to compile-test most tests (thus enforcing they are kept in sync with the code they document) and run those that do not depend on in-kernel APIs. However, by transforming the tests into a KUnit test suite, they can also be run inside the kernel. Moreover, the tests get to be compiled as other Rust kernel objects instead of targeting userspace. On top of that, the integration with KUnit means the Rust support gets to reuse the existing testing facilities. For instance, the kernel log would look like: KTAP version 1 1..1 KTAP version 1 # Subtest: rust_doctests_kernel 1..59 # rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_0.location: rust/kernel/build_assert.rs:13 ok 1 rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_0 # rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_1.location: rust/kernel/build_assert.rs:56 ok 2 rust_doctest_kernel_build_assert_rs_1 # rust_doctest_kernel_init_rs_0.location: rust/kernel/init.rs:122 ok 3 rust_doctest_kernel_init_rs_0 ... # rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2.location: rust/kernel/types.rs:150 ok 59 rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2 # rust_doctests_kernel: pass:59 fail:0 skip:0 total:59 # Totals: pass:59 fail:0 skip:0 total:59 ok 1 rust_doctests_kernel Therefore, add support for running Rust documentation tests in KUnit. Some other notes about the current implementation and support follow. The transformation is performed by a couple scripts written as Rust hostprogs. Tests using the `?` operator are also supported as usual, e.g.: /// ``` /// # use kernel::{spawn_work_item, workqueue}; /// spawn_work_item!(workqueue::system(), || pr_info!("x"))?; /// # Ok::<(), Error>(()) /// ``` The tests are also compiled with Clippy under `CLIPPY=1`, just like normal code, thus also benefitting from extra linting. The names of the tests are currently automatically generated. This allows to reduce the burden for documentation writers, while keeping them fairly stable for bisection. This is an improvement over the `rustdoc`-generated names, which include the line number; but ideally we would like to get `rustdoc` to provide the Rust item path and a number (for multiple examples in a single documented Rust item). In order for developers to easily see from which original line a failed doctests came from, a KTAP diagnostic line is printed to the log, containing the location (file and line) of the original test (i.e. instead of the location in the generated Rust file): # rust_doctest_kernel_types_rs_2.location: rust/kernel/types.rs:150 This line follows the syntax for declaring test metadata in the proposed KTAP v2 spec [1], which may be used for the proposed KUnit test attributes API [2]. Thus hopefully this will make migration easier later on (suggested by David [3]). The original line in that test attribute is figured out by providing an anchor (suggested by Boqun [4]). The original file is found by walking the filesystem, checking directory prefixes to reduce the amount of combinations to check, and it is only done once per file. Ambiguities are detected and reported. A notable difference from KUnit C tests is that the Rust tests appear to assert using the usual `assert!` and `assert_eq!` macros from the Rust standard library (`core`). We provide a custom version that forwards the call to KUnit instead. Importantly, these macros do not require passing context, unlike the KUnit C ones (i.e. `struct kunit *`). This makes them easier to use, and readers of the documentation do not need to care about which testing framework is used. In addition, it may allow us to test third-party code more easily in the future. However, a current limitation is that KUnit does not support assertions in other tasks. Thus we presently simply print an error to the kernel log if an assertion actually failed. This should be revisited to properly fail the test, perhaps saving the context somewhere else, or letting KUnit handle it.

watchdog/hardlockup: make HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG sparc64-specific There are several hardlockup detector implementations and several Kconfig values which allow selection and build of the preferred one. CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR was introduced by the commit 23637d477c1f53acb ("lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.36. It was a preparation step for introducing the new generic perf hardlockup detector. The existing arch-specific variants did not support the to-be-created generic build configurations, sysctl interface, etc. This distinction was made explicit by the commit 4a7863cc2eb5f98 ("x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.38. CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG was introduced by the commit d314d74c695f967e105 ("nmi watchdog: do not use cpp symbol in Kconfig") in v3.4-rc1. It replaced the above mentioned ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG. At that time, it was still used by three architectures, namely blackfin, mn10300, and sparc. The support for blackfin and mn10300 architectures has been completely dropped some time ago. And sparc is the only architecture with the historic NMI watchdog at the moment. And the old sparc implementation is really special. It is always built on sparc64. It used to be always enabled until the commit 7a5c8b57cec93196b ("sparc: implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable") added in v4.10-rc1. There are only few locations where the sparc64 NMI watchdog interacts with the generic hardlockup detectors code: + implements arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() which is called from the generic touch_nmi_watchdog() + implements watchdog_hardlockup_enable()/disable() to support /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog + is always preferred over other generic watchdogs, see CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR + includes asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h because some sparc-specific functions are needed in sparc-specific code which includes only linux/nmi.h. The situation became more complicated after the commit 05a4a95279311c3 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") and commit 2104180a53698df5 ("powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog") in v4.13-rc1. They introduced HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. It was used for powerpc specific hardlockup detector. It was compatible with the perf one regarding the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces. HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH was defined as a superset of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. It made some sense because all arch-specific detectors had some common requirements, namely: + implemented arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() + included asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h + defined the default value for /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog But it actually has made things pretty complicated when the generic buddy hardlockup detector was added. Before the generic perf detector was newer supported together with an arch-specific one. But the buddy detector could work on any SMP system. It means that an architecture could support both the arch-specific and buddy detector. As a result, there are few tricky dependencies. For example, CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR depends on: ((HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY) && !HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG) || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH The problem is that the very special sparc implementation is defined as: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG && !HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH Another problem is that the meaning of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is far from clear without reading understanding the history. Make the logic less tricky and more self-explanatory by making HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG specific for the sparc64 implementation. And rename it to HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64. Note that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY, HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF, and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY may conflict only with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. They depend on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and it is not longer enabled when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set.

watchdog/hardlockup: make the config checks more straightforward There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors: + buddy: available when SMP is set. + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set. + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set. + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set. The check for the sparc64 variant is more complicated because HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is used to #ifdef code used by both arch-specific and sparc64 specific variant. Therefore it is automatically selected with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. This complexity is partly hidden in HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH. It reduces the size of some checks but it makes them harder to follow. Finally, the other temporary variable HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH is used to re-compute HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is enabled/disabled. Make the logic more straightforward by the following changes: + Better explain the role of HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH and HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG in comments. + Add HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY so that there is separate HAVE_* for all four hardlockup detector variants. Use it in the other conditions instead of SMP. It makes it clear that it is about the buddy detector. + Open code HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH in HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY. It helps to understand the conditions between the four hardlockup detector variants. + Define the exact conditions when HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY can be enabled. It explains the dependency on the other hardlockup detector variants. Also it allows to remove HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH by using "imply". It triggers re-evaluating HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is changed. + Add dependency on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR so that the affected variables disappear when the hardlockup detectors are disabled. Another nice side effect is that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY value is not preserved when the global switch is disabled. The user has to make the decision again when it gets re-enabled.

watchdog/hardlockup: sort hardlockup detector related config values a logical way Patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Cleanup configuration of hardlockup detectors", v2. Clean up watchdog Kconfig after introducing the buddy detector. This patch (of 6): There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors: + buddy: available when SMP is set. + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set. + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set. + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set. Only one hardlockup detector can be compiled in. The selection is done using quite complex dependencies between several CONFIG variables. The following patches will try to make it more straightforward. As a first step, reorder the definitions of the various CONFIG variables. The logical order is: 1. HAVE_* variables define available variants. They are typically defined in the arch/ config files. 2. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR y/n variable defines whether the hardlockup detector is enabled at all. 3. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY y/n variable defines whether the buddy detector should be preferred over the perf one. Note that the arch specific variants are always preferred when available. 4. HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY variables define whether the given detector is enabled in the end. 5. HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH are temporary variables that are going to be removed in a followup patch. This is a preparation step for further cleanup. It will change the logic without shuffling the definitions. This change temporary breaks the C-like ordering where the variables are declared or defined before they are used. It is not really needed for Kconfig. Also the following patches will rework the logic so that the ordering will be C-like in the end. The patch just shuffles the definitions. It should not change the existing behavior.

watchdog/hardlockup: detect hard lockups using secondary (buddy) CPUs Implement a hardlockup detector that doesn't doesn't need any extra arch-specific support code to detect lockups. Instead of using something arch-specific we will use the buddy system, where each CPU watches out for another one. Specifically, each CPU will use its softlockup hrtimer to check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by verifying that a counter is increasing. NOTE: unlike the other hard lockup detectors, the buddy one can't easily show what's happening on the CPU that locked up just by doing a simple backtrace. It relies on some other mechanism in the system to get information about the locked up CPUs. This could be support for NMI backtraces like [1], it could be a mechanism for printing the PC of locked CPUs at panic time like [2] / [3], or it could be something else. Even though that means we still rely on arch-specific code, this arch-specific code seems to often be implemented even on architectures that don't have a hardlockup detector. This style of hardlockup detector originated in some downstream Android trees and has been rebased on / carried in ChromeOS trees for quite a long time for use on arm and arm64 boards. Historically on these boards we've leveraged mechanism [2] / [3] to get information about hung CPUs, but we could move to [1]. Although the original motivation for the buddy system was for use on systems without an arch-specific hardlockup detector, it can still be useful to use even on systems that _do_ have an arch-specific hardlockup detector. On x86, for instance, there is a 24-part patch series [4] in progress switching the arch-specific hard lockup detector from a scarce perf counter to a less-scarce hardware resource. Potentially the buddy system could be a simpler alternative to free up the perf counter but still get hard lockup detection. Overall, pros (+) and cons (-) of the buddy system compared to an arch-specific hardlockup detector (which might be implemented using perf): + The buddy system is usable on systems that don't have an arch-specific hardlockup detector, like arm32 and arm64 (though it's being worked on for arm64 [5]). + The buddy system may free up scarce hardware resources. + If a CPU totally goes out to lunch (can't process NMIs) the buddy system could still detect the problem (though it would be unlikely to be able to get a stack trace). + The buddy system uses the same timer function to pet the hardlockup detector on the running CPU as it uses to detect hardlockups on other CPUs. Compared to other hardlockup detectors, this means it generates fewer interrupts and thus is likely better able to let CPUs stay idle longer. - If all CPUs are hard locked up at the same time the buddy system can't detect it. - If we don't have SMP we can't use the buddy system. - The buddy system needs an arch-specific mechanism (possibly NMI backtrace) to get info about the locked up CPU.

Define mt_dump(), mas_dump() and mas_wr_dump() as a noop if debug is not enabled and document it in the test module information that more information can be obtained with another kernel config option. MT_BUG_ON() will report a failures without tree dumps, and the output will be less useful. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230518145544.1722059-17-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Liam R.

x86/csum: Improve performance of `csum_partial` 1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement in the len == 40 case. 2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput improvement (better for more iterations). Results from benchmarking on Icelake.

This seems to amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency. Testing: Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512). There are three cases. 1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be non-buggy). 2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case a carry is missing. 3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch any case of incorrectly carrying. More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in [0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here: https://github.com/goldsteinn/csum-reproduction The reposity also has the code for reproducing the above benchmark numbers.

workqueue: Report work funcs that trigger automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism Workqueue now automatically marks per-cpu work items that hog CPU for too long as CPU_INTENSIVE, which excludes them from concurrency management and prevents stalling other concurrency-managed work items. If a work function keeps running over the thershold, it likely needs to be switched to use an unbound workqueue. This patch adds a debug mechanism which tracks the work functions which trigger the automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism and report them using pr_warn() with exponential backoff. v3: Documentation update. v2: Drop bouncing to kthread_worker for printing messages. It was to avoid introducing circular locking dependency through printk but not effective as it still had pool lock -> wci_lock -> printk -> pool lock loop.

lazy tlb: shoot lazies, non-refcounting lazy tlb mm reference handling scheme On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not viable. Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches zero. The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm. A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there are no references remaining before the mm is freed. Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to reduce them if necessary, described in comments. The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale: context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2)) This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread switching. [ Rik came up with basically the same idea a few years ago, so credit to him for that. ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230118080011.2258375-1-npiggin@gmail.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20180728215357.3249-11-riel@surriel.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230203071837.1136453-5-npiggin@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

lib: add Dhrystone benchmark test When working on SoC bring-up, (a full) userspace may not be available, making it hard to benchmark the CPU performance of the system under development. Still, one may want to have a rough idea of the (relative) performance of one or more CPU cores, especially when working on e.g. the clock driver that controls the CPU core clock(s). Hence make the classical Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark available as a Linux kernel test module, based on[1]. When built-in, this benchmark can be run without any userspace present. Parallel runs (run on multiple CPU cores) are supported, just kick the "run" file multiple times. Note that the actual figures depend on the configuration options that control compiler optimization (e.g. CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE vs. CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE), and on the compiler options used when building the kernel in general. Hence numbers may differ from those obtained by running similar benchmarks in userspace.

btf, scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units (CUs) of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not currently supported by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging enabled it results in malformed kernel and module binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole to exclude Rust CUs until support for it arrives.

arch: Introduce CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT Generic function-alignment infrastructure. Architectures can select FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT_xxB symbols; the FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT symbol is then set to the largest such selected size, 0 otherwise. From this the -falign-functions compiler argument and __ALIGN macro are set. This incorporates the DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B knob and future alignment requirements for x86_64 (later in this series) into a single place. NOTE: also removes the 0x90 filler byte from the generic __ALIGN primitive, that value makes no sense outside of x86. NOTE: .balign 0 reverts to a no-op.

rust: add `build_error` crate The `build_error` crate provides a function `build_error` which will panic at compile-time if executed in const context and, by default, will cause a build error if not executed at compile time and the optimizer does not optimise away the call. The `CONFIG_RUST_BUILD_ASSERT_ALLOW` kernel option allows to relax the default build failure and convert it to a runtime check. If the runtime check fails, `panic!` will be called. Its functionality will be exposed to users as a couple macros in the `kernel` crate in the following patch, thus some documentation here refers to them for simplicity.

error-injection: Add prompt for function error injection The config to be able to inject error codes into any function annotated with ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is enabled when FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is enabled. But unfortunately, this is always enabled on x86 when KPROBES is enabled, and there's no way to turn it off. As kprobes is useful for observability of the kernel, it is useful to have it enabled in production environments. But error injection should be avoided. Add a prompt to the config to allow it to be disabled even when kprobes is enabled, and get rid of the "def_bool y". This is a kernel debug feature (it's in Kconfig.debug), and should have never been something enabled by default.

maple_tree: reorganize testing to restore module testing Along the development cycle, the testing code support for module/in-kernel compiles was removed. Restore this functionality by moving any internal API tests to the userspace side, as well as threading tests.

Kconfig.debug: disable CONFIG_FRAME_WARN for KMSAN by default KMSAN adds a lot of instrumentation to the code, which results in increased stack usage (up to 2048 bytes and more in some cases). It's hard to predict how big the stack frames can be, so we disable the warnings for KMSAN instead.

lib/Kconfig.debug: Add check for non-constant .{s,u}leb128 support to DWARF5 When building with a RISC-V kernel with DWARF5 debug info using clang and the GNU assembler, several instances of the following error appear: /tmp/vgettimeofday-48aa35.s:2963: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported Dumping the .s file reveals these .uleb128 directives come from .debug_loc and .debug_ranges: .Ldebug_loc0: .byte 4 # DW_LLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp1-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 1 # Loc expr size .byte 90 # DW_OP_reg10 .byte 0 # DW_LLE_end_of_list .Ldebug_ranges0: .byte 4 # DW_RLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Ltmp6-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp27-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 4 # DW_RLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Ltmp28-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp30-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 0 # DW_RLE_end_of_list There is an outstanding binutils issue to support a non-constant operand to .sleb128 and .uleb128 in GAS for RISC-V but there does not appear to be any movement on it, due to concerns over how it would work with linker relaxation. To avoid these build errors, prevent DWARF5 from being selected when using clang and an assembler that does not have support for these symbol deltas, which can be easily checked in Kconfig with as-instr plus the small test program from the dwz test suite from the binutils issue.

Kconfig.debug: add toolchain checks for DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT does not give explicit -gdwarf-* flag. The actual DWARF version is up to the toolchain. The combination of GCC and GAS works fine, and Clang with the integrated assembler is good too. The combination of Clang and GAS is tricky, but at least, the -g flag works for Clang <=13, which defaults to DWARF v4. Clang 14 switched its default to DWARF v5. Now, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT has the same issue as addressed by commit 98cd6f521f10 ("Kconfig: allow explicit opt in to DWARF v5"). CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y for Clang >= 14 and GAS < 2.35 produces a ton of errors like follows: /tmp/main-c2741c.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/main-c2741c.s:109: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `"' /tmp/main-c2741c.s:109: Error: file number less than one Add 'depends on' to check toolchains.

kmsan: add KMSAN runtime core For each memory location KernelMemorySanitizer maintains two types of metadata: 1. The so-called shadow of that location - а byte:byte mapping describing whether or not individual bits of memory are initialized (shadow is 0) or not (shadow is 1). 2. The origins of that location - а 4-byte:4-byte mapping containing 4-byte IDs of the stack traces where uninitialized values were created. Each struct page now contains pointers to two struct pages holding KMSAN metadata (shadow and origins) for the original struct page. Utility routines in mm/kmsan/core.c and mm/kmsan/shadow.c handle the metadata creation, addressing, copying and checking. mm/kmsan/report.c performs error reporting in the cases an uninitialized value is used in a way that leads to undefined behavior. KMSAN compiler instrumentation is responsible for tracking the metadata along with the kernel memory. mm/kmsan/instrumentation.c provides the implementation for instrumentation hooks that are called from files compiled with -fsanitize=kernel-memory. To aid parameter passing (also done at instrumentation level), each task_struct now contains a struct kmsan_task_state used to track the metadata of function parameters and return values for that task. Finally, this patch provides CONFIG_KMSAN that enables KMSAN, and declares CFLAGS_KMSAN, which are applied to files compiled with KMSAN. The KMSAN_SANITIZE:=n Makefile directive can be used to completely disable KMSAN instrumentation for certain files. Similarly, KMSAN_ENABLE_CHECKS:=n disables KMSAN checks and makes newly created stack memory initialized. Users can also use functions from include/linux/kmsan-checks.h to mark certain memory regions as uninitialized or initialized (this is called "poisoning" and "unpoisoning") or check that a particular region is initialized.

Maple Tree: add new data structure Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree" The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you. The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations. The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct, where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention. The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode. Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks are using the mm_struct. Davidlor said : Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for : more from this series wrt the MM - albeit there seems to still be some : folks reporting breakage. Fundamentally I see Liam's work to (re)move : complexity out of the MM (not to say that the actual maple tree is not : complex) by consolidating the three complimentary data structures very : much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very : much a turn off with the range locking approach, which worst case scenario : incurred in prohibitive overhead. Also as Liam and Matthew have : mentioned, RCU opens up a lot of nice performance opportunities, and in : addition academia[1] has shown outstanding scalability of address spaces : with the foundation of replacing the locked rbtree with RCU aware trees. A similar work has been discovered in the academic press https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/rcuvm:asplos12.pdf Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable for us. This patch (of 70): The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.

A single write operation will be allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks are using the mm_struct. There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.

mm: shrinkers: introduce debugfs interface for memory shrinkers This commit introduces the /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker debugfs interface which provides an ability to observe the state of individual kernel memory shrinkers. Because the feature adds some memory overhead (which shouldn't be large unless there is a huge amount of registered shrinkers), it's guarded by a config option (enabled by default). This commit introduces the "count" interface for each shrinker registered in the system. The output is in the following format: <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>... <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1>... ... To reduce the size of output on machines with many thousands cgroups, if the total number of objects on all nodes is 0, the line is omitted. If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed for all nodes except the first one. This commit gives debugfs entries simple numeric names, which are not very convenient. The following commit in the series will provide shrinkers with more meaningful names.

random: remove ratelimiting for in-kernel unseeded randomness The CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM debug option controls whether the kernel warns about all unseeded randomness or just the first instance. There's some complicated rate limiting and comparison to the previous caller, such that even with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM enabled, developers still don't see all the messages or even an accurate count of how many were missed. This is the result of basically parallel mechanisms aimed at accomplishing more or less the same thing, added at different points in random.c history, which sort of compete with the first-instance-only limiting we have now. It turns out, however, that nobody cares about the first unseeded randomness instance of in-kernel users. The same first user has been there for ages now, and nobody is doing anything about it. It isn't even clear that anybody _can_ do anything about it. Most places that can do something about it have switched over to using get_random_bytes_wait() or wait_for_random_bytes(), which is the right thing to do, but there is still much code that needs randomness sometimes during init, and as a geeneral rule, if you're not using one of the _wait functions or the readiness notifier callback, you're bound to be doing it wrong just based on that fact alone. So warning about this same first user that can't easily change is simply not an effective mechanism for anything at all. Users can't do anything about it, as the Kconfig text points out -- the problem isn't in userspace code -- and kernel developers don't or more often can't react to it. Instead, show the warning for all instances when CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is set, so that developers can debug things need be, or if it isn't set, don't show a warning at all. At the same time, CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM now implies setting random.ratelimit_disable=1 on by default, since if you care about one you probably care about the other too. And we can clean up usage around the related urandom_warning ratelimiter as well (whose behavior isn't changing), so that it properly counts missed messages after the 10 message threshold is reached.

lib/Kconfig.debug: change KUnit tests to default to KUNIT_ALL_TESTS This is in line with Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/style.rst. Some of these tests predate that so they don't follow this convention. With this and commit b0841b51cac9 ("kunit: arch/um/configs: Enable KUNIT_ALL_TESTS by default"), kunit.py will now run these tests by default. This hopefully makes it easier to run and maintain the tests. If any of these were to start failing, people would notice much quicker. Note: this commit doesn't update LINEAR_RANGES_TEST since that would select its dependency (LINEAR_RANGES). We don't want KUNIT_ALL_TESTS to enable anything other than test kconfigs.

mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays. Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once. Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use stackdepot to save stack trace. The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate per-cache statistics in the following patch using the stackdepot handle instead of matching stacks manually. [ vbabka@suse.cz: rebase to 5.17-rc1 and adjust accordingly ] This was initially merged as commit 788691464c29 and reverted by commit ae14c63a9f20 due to several issues, that should now be fixed. The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been addressed by commit 2dba5eb1c73b ("lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()"), so the dependency on stackdepot will result in extra memory usage only when a slab cache tracking is actually enabled, and not for all CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG builds. The build failures on some architectures were also addressed, and the reported issue with xfs/433 test did not reproduce on 5.17-rc1 with this patch.

Kconfig.debug: make DEBUG_INFO selectable from a choice Currently it's not possible to enable DEBUG_INFO for an all*config build, since it is marked as "depends on !COMPILE_TEST". This generally makes sense because a debug build of an all*config target ends up taking much longer and the output is much larger. Having this be "default off" makes sense. However, there are cases where enabling DEBUG_INFO for such builds is useful for doing treewide A/B comparisons of build options, etc. Make DEBUG_INFO selectable from any of the DWARF version choice options, with DEBUG_INFO_NONE being the default for COMPILE_TEST. The mutually exclusive relationship between DWARF5 and BTF must be inverted, but the result remains the same. Additionally moves DEBUG_KERNEL and DEBUG_MISC up to the top of the menu because they were enabling features _above_ it, making it weird to navigate menuconfig.

compiler_types: define __user as __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) The __user attribute is currently mainly used by sparse for type checking. The attribute indicates whether a memory access is in user memory address space or not. Such information is important during tracing kernel internal functions or data structures as accessing user memory often has different mechanisms compared to accessing kernel memory. For example, the perf-probe needs explicit command line specification to indicate a particular argument or string in user-space memory ([1], [2], [3]). Currently, vmlinux BTF is available in kernel with many distributions. If __user attribute information is available in vmlinux BTF, the explicit user memory access information from users will not be necessary as the kernel can figure it out by itself with vmlinux BTF. Besides the above possible use for perf/probe, another use case is for bpf verifier. Currently, for bpf BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING type of bpf programs, users can write direct code like p->m1->m2 and "p" could be a function parameter. Without __user information in BTF, the verifier will assume p->m1 accessing kernel memory and will generate normal loads. Let us say "p" actually tagged with __user in the source code. In such cases, p->m1 is actually accessing user memory and direct load is not right and may produce incorrect result. For such cases, bpf_probe_read_user() will be the correct way to read p->m1. To support encoding __user information in BTF, a new attribute __attribute__((btf_type_tag("<arbitrary_string>"))) is implemented in clang ([4]). For example, if we have #define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) during kernel compilation, the attribute "user" information will be preserved in dwarf. After pahole converting dwarf to BTF, __user information will be available in vmlinux BTF. The following is an example with latest upstream clang (clang14) and pahole 1.23: [$ ~] cat test.c #define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) int foo(int __user *arg) { return *arg; } [$ ~] clang -O2 -g -c test.c [$ ~] pahole -JV test.o ... [1] INT int size=4 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED [2] TYPE_TAG user type_id=1 [3] PTR (anon) type_id=2 [4] FUNC_PROTO (anon) return=1 args=(3 arg) [5] FUNC foo type_id=4 [$ ~] You can see for the function argument "int __user *arg", its type is described as PTR -> TYPE_TAG(user) -> INT The kernel can use this information for bpf verification or other use cases. Current btf_type_tag is only supported in clang (>= clang14) and pahole (>= 1.23). gcc support is also proposed and under development ([5]).

kcov: fix generic Kconfig dependencies if ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR Until recent versions of GCC and Clang, it was not possible to disable KCOV instrumentation via a function attribute. The relevant function attribute was introduced in 540540d06e9d9 ("kcov: add __no_sanitize_coverage to fix noinstr for all architectures"). x86 was the first architecture to want a working noinstr, and at the time no compiler support for the attribute existed yet. Therefore, commit 0f1441b44e823 ("objtool: Fix noinstr vs KCOV") introduced the ability to NOP __sanitizer_cov_*() calls in .noinstr.text. However, this doesn't work for other architectures like arm64 and s390 that want a working noinstr per ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR. At the time of 0f1441b44e823, we didn't yet have ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, but now we can move the Kconfig dependency checks to the generic KCOV option. KCOV will be available if: - architecture does not care about noinstr, OR - we have objtool support (like on x86), OR - GCC is 12.0 or newer, OR - Clang is 13.0 or newer.

lib/Kconfig.debug: make TEST_KMOD depend on PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB Commit b05fbcc36be1 ("btrfs: disable build on platforms having page size 256K") disabled btrfs for configurations that used a 256kB page size. However, it did not fully solve the problem because CONFIG_TEST_KMOD selects CONFIG_BTRFS, which does not account for the dependency. This results in a Kconfig warning and the failed BUILD_BUG_ON error returning. WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for BTRFS_FS Depends on [n]: BLOCK [=y] && !PPC_256K_PAGES && !PAGE_SIZE_256KB [=y] Selected by [m]: - TEST_KMOD [=m] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && m && MODULES [=y] && NETDEVICES [=y] && NET_CORE [=y] && INET [=y] && BLOCK [=y] To resolve this, add CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB as a dependency of CONFIG_TEST_KMOD so there is no more invalid configuration or build errors.

test_hash.c: refactor into kunit Use KUnit framework to make tests more easily integrable with CIs. Even though these tests are not yet properly written as unit tests this change should help in debugging. Also remove kernel messages (i.e. through pr_info) as KUnit handles all debugging output and let it handle module init and exit details.

net: add net device refcount tracker infrastructure net device are refcounted. Over the years we had numerous bugs caused by imbalanced dev_hold() and dev_put() calls. The general idea is to be able to precisely pair each decrement with a corresponding prior increment. Both share a cookie, basically a pointer to private data storing stack traces. This patch adds dev_hold_track() and dev_put_track(). To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount should also use a "netdevice_tracker" to pair the hold and put. netdevice_tracker dev_tracker; ... dev_hold_track(dev, &dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC); ... dev_put_track(dev, &dev_tracker); Whenever a leak happens, we will get precise stack traces of the point dev_hold_track() happened, at device dismantle phase. We will also get a stack trace if too many dev_put_track() for the same netdevice_tracker are attempted. This is guarded by CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER option.

bpf: Make CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF depend upon CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL Vinicius Costa Gomes reported [0] that build fails when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled and CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is disabled. This leads to btf.c not being compiled, and then no symbol being present in vmlinux for the declarations in btf.h. Since BTF is not useful without enabling BPF subsystem, disallow this combination. However, theoretically disabling both now could still fail, as the symbol for kfunc_btf_id_list variables is not available. This isn't a problem as the compiler usually optimizes the whole register/unregister call, but at lower optimization levels it can fail the build in linking stage. Fix that by adding dummy variables so that modules taking address of them still work, but the whole thing is a noop.

kprobes: convert tests to kunit This converts the kprobes testcases to use the kunit framework. It adds a dependency on CONFIG_KUNIT, and the output will change to TAP: TAP version 14 1..1 # Subtest: kprobes_test 1..4 random: crng init done ok 1 - test_kprobe ok 2 - test_kprobes ok 3 - test_kretprobe ok 4 - test_kretprobes ok 1 - kprobes_test Note that the kprobes testcases are no longer run immediately after kprobes initialization, but as a late initcall when kunit is initialized. kprobes itself is initialized with an early initcall, so the order is still correct.

objtool: Support pv_opsindirect calls for noinstr Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need. However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr validation didn't work with paravirt kernels. In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array, provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like: bf87: 48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x0(%rip) bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f> bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_ops+0x268 There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/ Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are now subject to noinstr validation.

lib/test: convert test_sort.c to use KUnit This follows up commit ebd09577be6c ("lib/test: convert lib/test_list_sort.c to use KUnit"). Converting this test to KUnit makes the test a bit shorter, standardizes how it reports pass/fail, and adds an easier way to run the test [1]. Like ebd09577be6c, this leaves the file and Kconfig option name the same, but slightly changes their dependencies (needs CONFIG_KUNIT).

Makefile: remove stale cc-option checks cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning all invoke the compiler during build time, and can slow down the build when these checks become stale for our supported compilers, whose minimally supported versions increases over time. See Documentation/process/changes.rst for the current supported minimal versions (GCC 4.9+, clang 10.0.1+). Compiler version support for these flags may be verified on godbolt.org. The following flags are GCC only and supported since at least GCC 4.9. Remove cc-option and cc-disable-warning tests. * -fno-tree-loop-im * -Wno-maybe-uninitialized * -fno-reorder-blocks * -fno-ipa-cp-clone * -fno-partial-inlining * -femit-struct-debug-baseonly * -fno-inline-functions-called-once * -fconserve-stack The following flags are supported by all supported versions of GCC and Clang. Remove their cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning tests. * -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks * -fno-var-tracking * -Wno-array-bounds The following configs are made dependent on GCC, since they use GCC specific flags. * READABLE_ASM * DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH -mfentry was not supported by s390-linux-gnu-gcc until gcc-9+, add a comment. --param=allow-store-data-races=0 was renamed to -fno-allow-store-data-races in the GCC 10 release; add a comment. -Wmaybe-uninitialized (GCC specific) was being added for CONFIG_GCOV, then again unconditionally; add it only once. Also, base RETPOLINE_CFLAGS and RETPOLINE_VDSO_CFLAGS on CONFIC_CC_IS_* then remove cc-option tests for Clang.

Makefile: extend 32B aligned debug option to 64B aligned Commit 09c60546f04f ("./Makefile: add debug option to enable function aligned on 32 bytes") was introduced to help debugging strange kernel performance changes caused by code alignment change. Recently we found 2 similar cases [1][2] caused by code-alignment changes, which can only be identified by forcing 64 bytes aligned for all functions. Originally, 32 bytes was used mainly for not wasting too much text space, but this option is only for debug anyway where text space is not a big concern. So extend the alignment to 64 bytes to cover more similar cases.

dump_stack: add vmlinux build ID to stack traces Add the running kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace information header. This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full debuginfo for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the correct vmlinux from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in the pstore logs and the recovery kernel is different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the data can be large and a security concern). The stacktrace can be analyzed after the crash by using the build ID to find the matching vmlinux and understand where in the function something went wrong. Example stacktrace from lkdtm: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] Modules linked in: lkdtm rfcomm algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg xt_cgroup uinput xt_MASQUERADE CPU: 4 PID: 3255 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.11 #3 aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT) pstate: 00400009 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) pc : lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID, following the kernel version number.

lib/test: convert lib/test_list_sort.c to use KUnit Functionally, this just means that the test output will be slightly changed and it'll now depend on CONFIG_KUNIT=y/m. It'll still run at boot time and can still be built as a loadable module. There was a pre-existing patch to convert this test that I found later, here [1]. Compared to [1], this patch doesn't rename files and uses KUnit features more heavily (i.e. does more than converting pr_err() calls to KUNIT_FAIL()). What this conversion gives us: * a shorter test thanks to KUnit's macros * a way to run this a bit more easily via kunit.py (and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y) [2] * a structured way of reporting pass/fail * uses kunit-managed allocations to avoid the risk of memory leaks * more descriptive error messages: * i.e. it prints out which fields are invalid, what the expected values are, etc. What this conversion does not do: * change the name of the file (and thus the name of the module) * change the name of the config option Leaving these as-is for now to minimize the impact to people wanting to run this test. IMO, that concern trumps following KUnit's style guide for both names, at least for now.

mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to local_lock There is a lack of clarity of what exactly local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c . It conflates the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat deltas. This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling. The scope of the lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later. It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

clocksource: Provide kernel module to test clocksource watchdog When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. It would be good to have a way of testing the clocksource watchdog's ability to distinguish between these two causes of clock skew and instability. Therefore, provide a new clocksource-wdtest module selected by a new TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG Kconfig option. This module has a single module parameter named "holdoff" that provides the number of seconds of delay before testing should start, which defaults to zero when built as a module and to 10 seconds when built directly into the kernel. Very large systems that boot slowly may need to increase the value of this module parameter. This module uses hand-crafted clocksource structures to do its testing, thus avoiding messing up timing for the rest of the kernel and for user applications. This module first verifies that the ->uncertainty_margin field of the clocksource structures are set sanely. It then tests the delay-detection capability of the clocksource watchdog, increasing the number of consecutive delays injected, first provoking console messages complaining about the delays and finally forcing a clock-skew event. Unexpected test results cause at least one WARN_ON_ONCE() console splat. If there are no splats, the test has passed. Finally, it fuzzes the value returned from a clocksource to test the clocksource watchdog's ability to detect time skew. This module checks the state of its clocksource after each test, and uses WARN_ON_ONCE() to emit a console splat if there are any failures. This should enable all types of test frameworks to detect any such failures. This facility is intended for diagnostic use only, and should be avoided on production systems.

locking/lockdep: Reduce LOCKDEP dependency list Some arches (um, sparc64, riscv, xtensa) cause a Kconfig warning for LOCKDEP. These arch-es select LOCKDEP_SUPPORT but they are not listed as one of the arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on. Since (16) arch-es define the Kconfig symbol LOCKDEP_SUPPORT if they intend to have LOCKDEP support, replace the awkward list of arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on with the LOCKDEP_SUPPORT symbol. But wait. LOCKDEP_SUPPORT is included in LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT, which is already a dependency here, so LOCKDEP_SUPPORT is redundant and not needed. That leaves the FRAME_POINTER dependency, but it is part of an expression like this: depends on (A && B) && (FRAME_POINTER || B') where B' is a dependency of B so if B is true then B' is true and the value of FRAME_POINTER does not matter. Thus we can also delete the FRAME_POINTER dependency.

mm/memtest: add ARCH_USE_MEMTEST early_memtest() does not get called from all architectures. Hence enabling CONFIG_MEMTEST and providing a valid memtest=[1..N] kernel command line option might not trigger the memory pattern tests as would be expected in normal circumstances. This situation is misleading. The change here prevents the above mentioned problem after introducing a new config option ARCH_USE_MEMTEST that should be subscribed on platforms that call early_memtest(), in order to enable the config CONFIG_MEMTEST. Conversely CONFIG_MEMTEST cannot be enabled on platforms where it would not be tested anyway.

lockdep: Allow tuning tracing capacity constants. Since syzkaller continues various test cases until the kernel crashes, syzkaller tends to examine more locking dependencies than normal systems. As a result, syzbot is reporting that the fuzz testing was terminated due to hitting upper limits lockdep can track [1] [2] [3].

mm: add Kernel Electric-Fence infrastructure Patch series "KFENCE: A low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector", v7. This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors. This series enables KFENCE for the x86 and arm64 architectures, and adds KFENCE hooks to the SLAB and SLUB allocators. KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large fleet of machines. KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault gracefully by reporting a memory access error. Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval, the next allocation through the main allocator (SLAB or SLUB) returns a guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool. At this point, the timer is reset, and the next allocation is set up after the expiration of the interval. To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the allocation to KFENCE. The KFENCE memory pool is of fixed size, and if the pool is exhausted no further KFENCE allocations occur. The default config is conservative with only 255 objects, resulting in a pool size of 2 MiB (with 4 KiB pages). We have verified by running synthetic benchmarks (sysbench I/O, hackbench) and production server-workload benchmarks that a kernel with KFENCE (using sample intervals 100-500ms) is performance-neutral compared to a non-KFENCE baseline kernel. KFENCE is inspired by GWP-ASan [1], a userspace tool with similar properties. The name "KFENCE" is a homage to the Electric Fence Malloc Debugger [2]. For more details, see Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst added in the series -- also viewable here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/kasan/kfence/Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst [1] http://llvm.org/docs/GwpAsan.html [2] https://linux.die.net/man/3/efence This patch (of 9): This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure.

Such page faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault gracefully by reporting a memory access error. To detect out-of-bounds writes to memory within the object's page itself, KFENCE also uses pattern-based redzones. The following figure illustrates the page layout: ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+--- | xxxxxxxxx | O : | xxxxxxxxx | : O | xxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxx | B : | xxxxxxxxx | : B | xxxxxxxxx | | x GUARD x | J : RED- | x GUARD x | RED- : J | x GUARD x | | xxxxxxxxx | E : ZONE | xxxxxxxxx | ZONE : E | xxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxx | C : | xxxxxxxxx | : C | xxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxx | T : | xxxxxxxxx | : T | xxxxxxxxx | ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+--- Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set via kfence.sample_interval).

Kconfig: allow explicit opt in to DWARF v5 DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format. GCC 11 will change the implicit default DWARF version, if left unspecified, to DWARF v5. Allow users of Clang and older versions of GCC that have not changed the implicit default DWARF version to DWARF v5 to opt in. This can help testing consumers of DWARF debug info in preparation of v5 becoming more widespread, as well as result in significant binary size savings of the pre-stripped vmlinux image. DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size when mixed with compression (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED). 363M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5.compressed 434M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4.compressed 439M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2.compressed 457M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5 536M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4 548M vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2 515M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5.compressed 599M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4.compressed 624M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2.compressed 630M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5 765M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4 809M vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2 Though the quality of debug info is harder to quantify; size is not a proxy for quality. Jakub notes: One thing is GCC DWARF-5 support, that is whether the compiler will support -gdwarf-5 flag, and that support should be there from GCC 7 onwards. All [GCC] 5.1 - 6.x did was start accepting -gdwarf-5 as experimental option that enabled some small DWARF subset (initially only a few DW_LANG_* codes newly added to DWARF5 drafts). Only GCC 7 (released after DWARF 5 has been finalized) started emitting DWARF5 section headers and got most of the DWARF5 changes in... Another separate thing is whether the assembler does support the -gdwarf-5 option (i.e. if you can compile assembler files with -Wa,-gdwarf-5) ... That option is about whether the assembler will emit DWARF5 or DWARF2 .debug_line. It is fine to compile C sources with -gdwarf-5 and use DWARF2 .debug_line for assembler files if as doesn't support it. Version check GCC so that we don't need to worry about the difference in command line args between GNU readelf and llvm-readelf/llvm-dwarfdump to validate the DWARF Version in the assembler feature detection script. Most issues with clang produced assembler were fixed in binutils 2.35.1, but 2.35.2 fixed issues related to requiring the flag -Wa,-gdwarf-5 explicitly. The added shell script test checks for the latter, and is only required when using clang without its integrated assembler, though we use for clang regardless as we do not yet have a way to query the assembler from Kconfig. Disabled for now if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set; pahole doesn't yet recognize the new additions to the DWARF debug info. This only modifies the DWARF version emitted by the compiler, not the assembler. The DWARF version of a binary can be validated with: $ llvm-dwarfdump <object file> | head -n 4 | grep version or $ readelf --debug-dump=info <object file> 2>/dev/null | grep Version Parts of the tree don't reuse DEBUG_CFLAGS as they should; such cleanup is left as a follow up.

Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice Adds a default CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT which allows the implicit default version of DWARF emitted by the toolchain to progress over time. Modifies CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 to be a member of a choice, making it mutually exclusive with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT. Users may want to select this if they are using a newer toolchain, but have consumers of the DWARF debug info that aren't yet ready for newer DWARF versions' debug info. Does so in a way that's forward compatible with existing configs, and makes adding future versions more straightforward. This patch does not change the current behavior or selection of DWARF version for users upgrading to kernels with this patch. GCC since ~4.8 has defaulted to DWARF v4 implicitly, and GCC 11 has bumped this to v5. Remove the Kconfig help text about DWARF v4 being larger. It's empirically false for the latest toolchains for x86_64 defconfig, has no point of reference (I suspect it was DWARF v2 but that's stil empirically false), and debug info size is not a qualatative measure.

kbuild: Remove $(cc-option,-gdwarf-4) dependency from DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 The -gdwarf-4 flag is supported by GCC 4.5+, and also by Clang. You can see it at https://godbolt.org/z/6ed1oW For gcc 4.5.3 pane, line 37: .value 0x4 For clang 10.0.1 pane, line 117: .short 4 Given Documentation/process/changes.rst stating GCC 4.9 is the minimal version, this cc-option is unneeded. Note ---- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 controls the DWARF version only for C files. As you can see in the top Makefile, -gdwarf-4 is only passed to CFLAGS. ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 DEBUG_CFLAGS += -gdwarf-4 endif This flag is used when compiling *.c files. On the other hand, the assembler is always given -gdwarf-2. KBUILD_AFLAGS += -Wa,-gdwarf-2 Hence, the debug info that comes from *.S files is always DWARF v2. This is simply because GAS supported only -gdwarf-2 for a long time. Recently, GAS gained the support for --gdwarf-[345] options. [1] And, also we have Clang integrated assembler. So, the debug info for *.S files might be improved in the future. In my understanding, the current code is intentional, not a bug.

lockdep: report broken irq restoration We generally expect local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to be paired and sanely nested, and so local_irq_restore() expects to be called with irqs disabled. Thus, within local_irq_restore() we only trace irq flag changes when unmasking irqs. This means that a sequence such as: | local_irq_disable(); | local_irq_save(flags); | local_irq_enable(); | local_irq_restore(flags); ... is liable to break things, as the local_irq_restore() would mask irqs without tracing this change. Similar problems may exist for architectures whose arch_irq_restore() function depends on being called with irqs disabled. We don't consider such sequences to be a good idea, so let's define those as forbidden, and add tooling to detect such broken cases. This patch adds debug code to WARN() when raw_local_irq_restore() is called with irqs enabled. As raw_local_irq_restore() is expected to pair with raw_local_irq_save(), it should never be called with irqs enabled. To avoid the possibility of circular header dependencies between irqflags.h and bug.h, the warning is handled in a separate C file. The new code is all conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS symbol which is independent of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS. As noted above such cases will confuse lockdep, so CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP now selects CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS.

Compiler Attributes: remove CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK Revert commit cebc04ba9aeb ("add CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK"). A lot of warn_unused_result warnings existed in 2006, but until now they have been fixed thanks to people doing allmodconfig tests. Our goal is to always enable __must_check where appropriate, so this CONFIG option is no longer needed. I see a lot of defconfig (arch/*/configs/*_defconfig) files having: # CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK is not set I did not touch them for now since it would be a big churn. If arch maintainers want to clean them up, please go ahead. While I was here, I also moved __must_check to compiler_attributes.h from compiler_types.h Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jason A.

net: switch to storing KCOV handle directly in sk_buff It turns out that usage of skb extensions can cause memory leaks. Ido Schimmel reported: "[...] there are instances that blindly overwrite 'skb->extensions' by invoking skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb()." Therefore, give up on using skb extensions for KCOV handle, and instead directly store kcov_handle in sk_buff.

kbuild: Build kernel module BTFs if BTF is enabled and pahole supports it Detect if pahole supports split BTF generation, and generate BTF for each selected kernel module, if it does. This is exposed to Makefiles and C code as CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES flag. Kernel module BTF has to be re-generated if either vmlinux's BTF changes or module's .ko changes. To achieve that, I needed a helper similar to if_changed, but that would allow to filter out vmlinux from the list of updated dependencies for .ko building. I've put it next to the only place that uses and needs it, but it might be a better idea to just add it along the other if_changed variants into scripts/Kbuild.include. Each kernel module's BTF deduplication is pretty fast, as it does only incremental BTF deduplication on top of already deduplicated vmlinux BTF. To show the added build time, I've first ran make only just built kernel (to establish the baseline) and then forced only BTF re-generation, without regenerating .ko files. The build was performed with -j60 parallelization on 56-core machine. The final time also includes bzImage building, so it's not a pure BTF overhead. $ time make -j60 ... make -j60 27.65s user 10.96s system 782% cpu 4.933 total $ touch ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux && time make -j60 ... make -j60 123.69s user 27.85s system 1566% cpu 9.675 total So 4.6 seconds real time, with noticeable part spent in compressed vmlinux and bzImage building. To show size savings, I've built my kernel configuration with about 700 kernel modules with full BTF per each kernel module (without deduplicating against vmlinux) and with split BTF against deduplicated vmlinux (approach in this patch). Below are top 10 modules with biggest BTF sizes. And total size of BTF data across all kernel modules. It shows that split BTF "compresses" 115MB down to 5MB total. And the biggest kernel modules get a downsize from 500-570KB down to 200-300KB.

net: add kcov handle to skb extensions Remote KCOV coverage collection enables coverage-guided fuzzing of the code that is not reachable during normal system call execution. It is especially helpful for fuzzing networking subsystems, where it is common to perform packet handling in separate work queues even for the packets that originated directly from the user space. Enable coverage-guided frame injection by adding kcov remote handle to skb extensions. Default initialization in __alloc_skb and __build_skb_around ensures that no socket buffer that was generated during a system call will be missed. Code that is of interest and that performs packet processing should be annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop(). An alternative approach is to determine kcov_handle solely on the basis of the device/interface that received the specific socket buffer. However, in this case it would be impossible to distinguish between packets that originated during normal background network processes or were intentionally injected from the user space.

The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

./Makefile: add debug option to enable function aligned on 32 bytes Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt the test itself is wrong. Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains. gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like [1][2][3].

lockdep: Add preemption enabled/disabled assertion APIs Asserting that preemption is enabled or disabled is a critical sanity check. Developers are usually reluctant to add such a check in a fastpath as reading the preemption count can be costly. Extend the lockdep API with macros asserting that preemption is disabled or enabled. If lockdep is disabled, or if the underlying architecture does not support kernel preemption, this assert has no runtime overhead.

locking/lockdep: Fix TRACE_IRQFLAGS vs. NMIs Prior to commit: 859d069ee1dd ("lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking") IRQ state tracking was disabled in NMIs due to nmi_enter() doing lockdep_off() -- with the obvious requirement that NMI entry call nmi_enter() before trace_hardirqs_off(). [ AFAICT, PowerPC and SH violate this order on their NMI entry ] However, that commit explicitly changed lockdep_hardirqs_*() to ignore lockdep_off() and breaks every architecture that has irq-tracing in it's NMI entry that hasn't been fixed up (x86 being the only fixed one at this point). The reason for this change is that by ignoring lockdep_off() we can: - get rid of 'current->lockdep_recursion' in lockdep_assert_irqs*() which was going to to give header-recursion issues with the seqlock rework. - allow these lockdep_assert_*() macros to function in NMI context. Restore the previous state of things and allow an architecture to opt-in to the NMI IRQ tracking support, however instead of relying on lockdep_off(), rely on in_nmi(), both are part of nmi_enter() and so over-all entry ordering doesn't need to change.

debugfs: Add access restriction option Since debugfs include sensitive information it need to be treated carefully. But it also has many very useful debug functions for userspace. With this option we can have same configuration for system with need of debugfs and a way to turn it off. This gives a extra protection for exposure on systems where user-space services with system access are attacked. It is controlled by a configurable default value that can be override with a kernel command line parameter. (debugfs=) It can be on or off, but also internally on but not seen from user-space. This no-mount mode do not register a debugfs as filesystem, but client can register their parts in the internal structures. This data can be readed with a debugger or saved with a crashkernel. When it is off clients get EPERM error when accessing the functions for registering their components.

kconfig: unify cc-option and as-option cc-option and as-option are almost the same; both pass the flag to $(CC). The main difference is the cc-option stops before the assemble stage (-S option) whereas as-option stops after (-c option). I chose -S because it is slightly faster, but $(cc-option,-gz=zlib) returns a wrong result (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/9/1529). It has been fixed by commit 7b16994437c7 ("Makefile: Improve compressed debug info support detection"), but the assembler should always be invoked for more reliable compiler option tests. However, you cannot simply replace -S with -c because the following code in lib/Kconfig.debug would break: depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf) The combination of -c and -gsplit-dwarf does not accept /dev/null as output. $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -S -x c - -o /dev/null $ echo $? 0 $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -c -x c - -o /dev/null objcopy: Warning: '/dev/null' is not an ordinary file $ echo $? 1 $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -c -x c - -o tmp.o $ echo $? 0 There is another flag that creates an separate file based on the object file path: $ cat /dev/null | gcc -ftest-coverage -c -x c - -o /dev/null <stdin>:1: error: cannot open /dev/null.gcno So, we cannot use /dev/null to sink the output. Align the cc-option implementation with scripts/Kbuild.include. With -c option used in cc-option, as-option is unneeded.

Makefile: Improve compressed debug info support detection Commit 10e68b02c861 ("Makefile: support compressed debug info") added support for compressed debug sections. Support is detected by checking - does the compiler support -gz=zlib - does the assembler support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib - does the linker support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib However, the gcc driver's support for this option is somewhat convoluted. The driver's builtin specs are set based on the version of binutils that it was configured with. It reports an error if the configure-time linker/assembler (i.e., not necessarily the actual assembler that will be run) do not support the option, but only if the assembler (or linker) is actually invoked when -gz=zlib is passed. The cc-option check in scripts/Kconfig.include does not invoke the assembler, so the gcc driver reports success even if it does not support the option being passed to the assembler. Because the as-option check passes the option directly to the assembler via -Wa,--compressed-debug-sections=zlib, the gcc driver does not see this option and will never report an error. Combined with an installed version of binutils that is more recent than the one the compiler was built with, it is possible for all three tests to succeed, yet an actual compilation with -gz=zlib to fail. Moreover, it is unnecessary to explicitly pass --compressed-debug-sections=zlib to the assembler via -Wa, since the driver will do that automatically when it supports -gz=zlib. Convert the as-option to just -gz=zlib, simplifying it as well as performing a better test of the gcc driver's capabilities.

mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpers This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics. This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing page table helpers or addition of new ones. This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page and validating them. Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called via late_initcall(). This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected. Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers. Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

kcov: collect coverage from interrupts This change extends kcov remote coverage support to allow collecting coverage from soft interrupts in addition to kernel background threads. To collect coverage from code that is executed in softirq context, a part of that code has to be annotated with kcov_remote_start/stop() in a similar way as how it is done for global kernel background threads. Then the handle used for the annotations has to be passed to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl. Internally this patch adjusts the __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() compiler inserted callback to not bail out when called from softirq context. kcov_remote_start/stop() are updated to save/restore the current per task kcov state in a per-cpu area (in case the softirq came when the kernel was already collecting coverage in task context). Coverage from softirqs is collected into pre-allocated per-cpu areas, whose size is controlled by the new CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE.

lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context. The current wait-types are: LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */ Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired) fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack). This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In other words, its a more fancy might_sleep(). Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it got acquired in. Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context (inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same. [ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that: .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ] It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal' RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules. Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code: raw_spin_lock(&foo); spin_lock(&bar); spin_unlock(&bar); raw_spin_unlock(&foo); [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] ----------------------------- swapper/0/1 is trying to lock: ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187 The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}. This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than presented by the lock stack. Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions can be done when desired. The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate config option for now as there are known problems which are currently addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them. The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

serial/sysrq: Add MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE Many embedded boards have a disconnected TTL level serial which can generate some garbage that can lead to spurious false sysrq detects. Currently, sysrq can be either completely disabled for serial console or always disabled (with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL), since commit 732dbf3a6104 ("serial: do not accept sysrq characters via serial port") At Arista, we have such boards that can generate BREAK and random garbage. While disabling sysrq for serial console would solve the problem with spurious false sysrq triggers, it's also desirable to have a way to enable sysrq back. As a measure of balance between on and off options, add MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE which is a string sequence that can enable sysrq if it follows BREAK on a serial line. The longer the string - the less likely it may be in the garbage. Having the way to enable sysrq was beneficial to debug lockups with a manual investigation in field and on the other side preventing false sysrq detections.

dynamic_debug: allow to work if debugfs is disabled With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be disabled. To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for individual driverfs and subsystems.

kunit: allow kunit tests to be loaded as a module As tests are added to kunit, it will become less feasible to execute all built tests together. By supporting modular tests we provide a simple way to do selective execution on a running system; specifying CONFIG_KUNIT=y CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=m ...means we can simply "insmod example-test.ko" to run the tests. To achieve this we need to do the following: o export the required symbols in kunit o string-stream tests utilize non-exported symbols so for now we skip building them when CONFIG_KUNIT_TEST=m. o drivers/base/power/qos-test.c contains a few unexported interface references, namely freq_qos_read_value() and freq_constraints_init(). Both of these could be potentially defined as static inline functions in include/linux/pm_qos.h, but for now we simply avoid supporting module build for that test suite. o support a new way of declaring test suites. Because a module cannot do multiple late_initcall()s, we provide a kunit_test_suites() macro to declare multiple suites within the same module at once. o some test module names would have been too general ("test-test" and "example-test" for kunit tests, "inode-test" for ext4 tests); rename these as appropriate ("kunit-test", "kunit-example-test" and "ext4-inode-test" respectively). Also define kunit_test_suite() via kunit_test_suites() as callers in other trees may need the old definition.

lib/list-test: add a test for the 'list' doubly linked list Add a KUnit test for the kernel doubly linked list implementation in include/linux/list.h Each test case (list_test_x) is focused on testing the behaviour of the list function/macro 'x'. None of the tests pass invalid lists to these macros, and so should behave identically with DEBUG_LIST enabled and disabled. Note that, at present, it only tests the list_ types (not the singly-linked hlist_), and does not yet test all of the list_for_each_entry* macros (and some related things like list_prepare_entry). Ignoring checkpatch.pl spurious errors related to its handling of for_each and other list macros. checkpatch.pl expects anything with for_each in its name to be a loop and expects that the open brace is placed on the same line as for a for loop. In this case, test case naming scheme includes name of the macro it is testing, which results in the spurious errors.

printf: add support for printing symbolic error names It has been suggested several times to extend vsnprintf() to be able to convert the numeric value of ENOSPC to print "ENOSPC". This implements that as a %p extension: With %pe, one can do if (IS_ERR(foo)) { pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %pe\n", foo); return PTR_ERR(foo); } instead of what is seen in quite a few places in the kernel: if (IS_ERR(foo)) { pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(foo)); return PTR_ERR(foo); } If the value passed to %pe is an ERR_PTR, but the library function errname() added here doesn't know about the value, the value is simply printed in decimal. If the value passed to %pe is not an ERR_PTR, we treat it as an ordinary %p and thus print the hashed value (passing non-ERR_PTR values to %pe indicates a bug in the caller, but we can't do much about that). With my embedded hat on, and because it's not very invasive to do, I've made it possible to remove this. The errname() function and associated lookup tables take up about 3K. For most, that's probably quite acceptable and a price worth paying for more readable dmesg (once this starts getting used), while for those that disable printk() it's of very little use - I don't see a procfs/sysfs/seq_printf() file reasonably making use of this - and they clearly want to squeeze vmlinux as much as possible. Hence the default y if PRINTK. The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E' In the cases where some common aliasing exists (e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most), I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc) to the bottom so that one takes precedence.

compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly Commit 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING") allowed all architectures to enable this option. A couple of build errors were reported by randconfig, but all of them have been ironed out. Towards the goal of removing CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely (and it will simplify the 'inline' macro in compiler_types.h), this commit changes it to always-on option. Going forward, the compiler will always be allowed to not inline functions marked 'inline'. This is not a problem for x86 since it has been long used by arch/x86/configs/{x86_64,i386}_defconfig. I am keeping the config option just in case any problem crops up for other architectures. The code clean-up will be done after confirming this is solid.

mm/kmemleak: increase the max mem pool to 1M There are some machines with slow disk and fast CPUs. When they are under memory pressure, it could take a long time to swap before the OOM kicks in to free up some memory. As the results, it needs a large mem pool for kmemleak or suffering from higher chance of a kmemleak metadata allocation failure. 524288 proves to be the good number for all architectures here. Increase the upper bound to 1M to leave some room for the future.

mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised. Such early log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak metadata for objects allocated up that point. With a memory pool that does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log entirely. In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the object_cache and scan_area_cache variables. The RCU callback is only invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any concurrent list traversal before this. In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().

kmemleak: increase DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE default to 16K The current default value (400) is too low on many systems (e.g. some ARM64 platform takes up 1000+ entries). syzbot uses 16000 as default value, and has proved to be enough on beefy configurations, so let's pick that value. This consumes more RAM on boot (each entry is 160 bytes, so in total ~2.5MB of RAM), but the memory would later be freed (early_log is __initdata).

kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR While descending directories, Kbuild produces objects for modules, but do not link final *.ko files; it is done in the modpost. To keep track of modules, Kbuild creates a *.mod file in $(MODVERDIR) for every module it is building. Some post-processing steps read the necessary information from *.mod files. This avoids descending into directories again. This mechanism was introduced in 2003 or so. Later, commit 551559e13af1 ("kbuild: implement modules.order") added modules.order. So, we can simply read it out to know all the modules with directory paths. This is easier than parsing the first line of *.mod files. $(MODVERDIR) has a flat directory structure, that is, *.mod files are named only with base names. This is based on the assumption that the module name is unique across the tree. This assumption is really fragile. Stephen Rothwell reported a race condition caused by a module name conflict: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991 In parallel building, two different threads could write to the same $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod simultaneously. Non-unique module names are the source of all kind of troubles, hence commit 3a48a91901c5 ("kbuild: check uniqueness of module names") introduced a new checker script. However, it is still fragile in the build system point of view because this race happens before scripts/modules-check.sh is invoked. If it happens again, the modpost will emit unclear error messages. To fix this issue completely, create *.mod with full directory path so that two threads never attempt to write to the same file. $(MODVERDIR) is no longer needed. Since modules with directory paths are listed in modules.order, Kbuild is still able to find *.mod files without additional descending. I also killed cmd_secanalysis; scripts/mod/sumversion.c computes MD4 hash for modules with MODULE_VERSION(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y, it occurs not only in the modpost stage, but also during directory descending, where sumversion.c may parse stale *.mod files. It would emit 'No such file or directory' warning when an object consisting a module is renamed, or when a single-obj module is turned into a multi-obj module or vice versa.

rslib: Add tests for the encoder and decoder A Reed-Solomon code with minimum distance d can correct any error and erasure pattern that satisfies 2 * #error + #erasures < d. If the error correction capacity is exceeded, then correct decoding cannot be guaranteed. The decoder must, however, return a valid codeword or report failure. There are two main tests: - Check for correct behaviour up to the error correction capacity - Check for correct behaviour beyond error corrupted capacity Both tests are simple: 1. Generate random data 2. Encode data with the chosen code 3. Add errors and erasures to data 4. Decode the corrupted word 5. Check for correct behaviour When testing up to capacity we test for: - Correct decoding - Correct return value (i.e. the number of corrected symbols) - That the returned error positions are correct There are two kinds of erasures; the erased symbol can be corrupted or not. When counting the number of corrected symbols, erasures without symbol corruption should not be counted. Similarly, the returned error positions should only include positions where a correction is necessary. We run the up to capacity tests for three different interfaces of decode_rs: - Use the correction buffers - Use the correction buffers with syndromes provided by the caller - Error correction in place (does not check the error positions) When testing beyond capacity test for silent failures. A silent failure is when the decoder returns success but the returned word is not a valid codeword. There are a couple of options for the tests: - Verbosity. - Whether to test for correct behaviour beyond capacity. Default is to test beyond capacity. - Whether to allow erasures without symbol corruption. Defaults to yes. Note that the tests take a couple of minutes to complete.

kbuild: add 'headers' target to build up uapi headers in usr/include In Linux build system, build targets and installation targets are separated. Examples are: - 'make vmlinux' -> 'make install' - 'make modules' -> 'make modules_install' - 'make dtbs' -> 'make dtbs_install' - 'make vdso' -> 'make vdso_install' The intention is to run the build targets under the normal privilege, then the installation targets under the root privilege since we need the write permission to the system directories. We have 'make headers_install' but the corresponding 'make headers' stage does not exist. The purpose of headers_install is to provide the kernel interface to C library. So, nobody would try to install headers to /usr/include directly. If 'sudo make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include headers_install' were run, some build artifacts in the kernel tree would be owned by root because some of uapi headers are generated by 'uapi-asm-generic', 'archheaders' targets. Anyway, I believe it makes sense to split the header installation into two stages. [1] 'make headers' Process headers in uapi directories by scripts/headers_install.sh and copy them to usr/include [2] 'make headers_install' Copy '*.h' verbatim from usr/include to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH)/include For the backward compatibility, 'headers_install' depends on 'headers'. Some samples expect uapi headers in usr/include. So, the 'headers' target is useful to build up them in the fixed location usr/include irrespective of INSTALL_HDR_PATH. Another benefit is to stop polluting the final destination with the time-stamp files '.install' and '.check'. Maybe you can see them in your toolchains. Lastly, my main motivation is to prepare for compile-testing uapi headers. To build something, we have to save an object and .*.cmd somewhere. The usr/include/ will be the work directory for that.

Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include. Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers are installed before starting directory descending. I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options. This allows UML to compile some samples. $ make ARCH=um allmodconfig samples/ [ snip ] CC [M] samples/configfs/configfs_sample.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/bytestream-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/dma-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/inttype-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/record-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kobject-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kset-example.o CC [M] samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.o CC [M] samples/trace_printk/trace-printk.o AR samples/vfio-mdev/built-in.a AR samples/built-in.a Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

kbuild: fix Kconfig prompt of CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK Prior to commit 257edce66d31 ("kbuild: exploit parallel building for CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK"), the sanity check of exported headers was done as a side-effect of build rule of vmlinux. That commit is good, but I missed to update the prompt of the Kconfig entry. For the sake of preciseness, lets' say "when building 'all'".

slab: remove /proc/slab_allocators It turned out that DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is still broken even after recent recue efforts that when there is a large number of objects like kmemleak_object which is normal on a debug kernel, # grep kmemleak /proc/slabinfo kmemleak_object 2243606 3436210 ... reading /proc/slab_allocators could easily loop forever while processing the kmemleak_object cache and any additional freeing or allocating objects will trigger a reprocessing. To make a situation worse, soft-lockups could easily happen in this sitatuion which will call printk() to allocate more kmemleak objects to guarantee an infinite loop. Also, since it seems no one had noticed when it was totally broken more than 2-year ago - see the commit fcf88917dd43 ("slab: fix a crash by reading /proc/slab_allocators"), probably nobody cares about it anymore due to the decline of the SLAB.

Kernel code generatoin should not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING Commit 60a3cdd06394 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86. The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures can benefit from it. This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled. For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1. dec file 18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before 18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as e61aca5158a8 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested; this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

kbuild: add ability to generate BTF type info for vmlinux This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm. The intent is to record compact type information of all types used inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g., struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed. This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction, making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in non-loadable ELF section. BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is typically about 2MB in size.

vmalloc: add test driver to analyse vmalloc allocator This adds a new kernel module for analysis of vmalloc allocator. It is only enabled as a module. There are two main reasons this module should be used for: performance evaluation and stressing of vmalloc subsystem. It consists of several test cases. As of now there are 8. The module has five parameters we can specify to change its the behaviour. 1) run_test_mask - set of tests to be run id: 1, name: fix_size_alloc_test id: 2, name: full_fit_alloc_test id: 4, name: long_busy_list_alloc_test id: 8, name: random_size_alloc_test id: 16, name: fix_align_alloc_test id: 32, name: random_size_align_alloc_test id: 64, name: align_shift_alloc_test id: 128, name: pcpu_alloc_test By default all tests are in run test mask. If you want to select some specific tests it is possible to pass the mask. For example for first, second and fourth tests we go 11 value. 2) test_repeat_count - how many times each test should be repeated By default it is one time per test. It is possible to pass any number. As high the value is the test duration gets increased. 3) test_loop_count - internal test loop counter. By default it is set to 1000000. 4) single_cpu_test - use one CPU to run the tests By default this parameter is set to false. It means that all online CPUs execute tests. By setting it to 1, the tests are executed by first online CPU only. 5) sequential_test_order - run tests in sequential order By default this parameter is set to false. It means that before running tests the order is shuffled. It is possible to make it sequential, just set it to 1. Performance analysis: In order to evaluate performance of vmalloc allocations, usually it makes sense to use only one CPU that runs tests, use sequential order, number of repeat tests can be different as well as set of test mask. For example if we want to run all tests, to use one CPU and repeat each test 3 times. Insert the module passing following parameters: single_cpu_test=1 sequential_test_order=1 test_repeat_count=3 with following output: <snip> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 901177 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 1039341 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 11775763 usec Summary: random_size_alloc_test passed 3: failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 6081992 usec Summary: fix_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3, loops: 1000000 avg: 2003712 usec Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 2895689 usec Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 3 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 573 usec Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 95802 usec All test took CPU0=192945605995 cycles <snip> The align_shift_alloc_test is expected to be failed. Stressing: In order to stress the vmalloc subsystem we run all available test cases on all available CPUs simultaneously. In order to prevent constant behaviour pattern, the test cases array is shuffled by default to randomize the order of test execution. For example if we want to run all tests(default), use all online CPUs(default) with shuffled order(default) and to repeat each test 30 times. The command would be like: modprobe vmalloc_test test_repeat_count=30 Expected results are the system is alive, there are no any BUG_ONs or Kernel Panics the tests are completed, no memory leaks.

kasan: remove use after scope bugs detection. Use after scope bugs detector seems to be almost entirely useless for the linux kernel. It exists over two years, but I've seen only one valid bug so far [1]. And the bug was fixed before it has been reported. There were some other use-after-scope reports, but they were false-positives due to different reasons like incompatibility with structleak plugin. This feature significantly increases stack usage, especially with GCC < 9 version, and causes a 32K stack overflow. It probably adds performance penalty too. Given all that, let's remove use-after-scope detector entirely. While preparing this patch I've noticed that we mistakenly enable use-after-scope detection for clang compiler regardless of CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA setting. This is also fixed now.

printk: Add caller information to printk() output. Sometimes we want to print a series of printk() messages to consoles without being disturbed by concurrent printk() from interrupts and/or other threads. But we can't enforce printk() callers to use their local buffers because we need to ask them to make too much changes. Also, even buffering up to one line inside printk() might cause failing to emit an important clue under critical situation. Therefore, instead of trying to help buffering, let's try to help reconstructing messages by saving caller information as of calling log_store() and adding it as "[T$thread_id]" or "[C$processor_id]" upon printing to consoles. Some examples for console output: [ 1.222773][ T1] x86: Booting SMP configuration: [ 2.779635][ T1] pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] [ 5.069193][ T268] Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 [ 9.316504][ C2] random: fast init done [ 13.413336][ T3355] Initialized host personality Some examples for /dev/kmsg output: 6,496,1222773,-,caller=T1;x86: Booting SMP configuration: 6,968,2779635,-,caller=T1;pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] SUBSYSTEM=pci DEVICE=+pci:0000:00:01.0 6,1353,5069193,-,caller=T268;Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 5,1526,9316504,-,caller=C2;random: fast init done 6,1575,13413336,-,caller=T3355;Initialized host personality Note that this patch changes max length of messages which can be printed by printk() or written to /dev/kmsg interface from 992 bytes to 976 bytes, based on an assumption that userspace won't try to write messages hitting that border line to /dev/kmsg interface.

ARM: 8800/1: use choice for kernel unwinders While in theory multiple unwinders could be compiled in, it does not make sense in practise. Use a choice to make the unwinder selection mutually exclusive and mandatory. Already before this commit it has not been possible to deselect FRAME_POINTER. Remove the obsolete comment. Furthermore, to produce a meaningful backtrace with FRAME_POINTER enabled the kernel needs a specific function prologue: mov ip, sp stmfd sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc} sub fp, ip, #4 To get to the required prologue gcc uses apcs and no-sched-prolog. This compiler options are not available on clang, and clang is not able to generate the required prologue. Make the FRAME_POINTER config symbol depending on !clang.

deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely and for good We haven't had lots of deprecation warnings lately, but the rdma use of it made them flare up again. They are not useful. They annoy everybody, and nobody ever does anything about them, because it's always "somebody elses problem". And when people start thinking that warnings are normal, they stop looking at them, and the real warnings that mean something go unnoticed. If you want to get rid of a function, just get rid of it. Convert every user to the new world order. And if you can't do that, then don't annoy everybody else with your marking that says "I couldn't be bothered to fix this, so I'll just spam everybody elses build logs with warnings about my laziness". Make a kernelnewbies wiki page about things that could be cleaned up, write a blog post about it, or talk to people on the mailing lists. But don't add warnings to the kernel build about cleanup that you think should happen but you aren't doing yourself. Don't. Just don't. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

printk: Make CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET configurable The goal of passing the "quiet" option to the kernel is for the kernel to be quiet unless something really is wrong. Sofar passing quiet has been (mostly) equivalent to passing loglevel=4 on the kernel commandline. Which means to show any messages with a level of KERN_ERR or higher severity on the console. In practice this often does not result in a quiet boot though, since there are many false-positive or otherwise harmless error messages printed, defeating the purpose of the quiet option. Esp. the ACPICA code is really bad wrt this, but there are plenty of others too. This commit makes CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET configurable. This for example will allow distros which want quiet to really mean quiet to set CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET so that only messages with a higher severity then KERN_ERR (CRIT, ALERT, EMERG) get printed, avoiding an endless game of whack-a-mole silencing harmless error messages.

kcov: test compiler capability in Kconfig and correct dependency As Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt notes, 'select' should be be used with care - it forces a lower limit of another symbol, ignoring the dependency. Currently, KCOV can select GCC_PLUGINS even if arch does not select HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS. This could cause the unmet direct dependency. Now that Kconfig can test compiler capability, let's handle this in a more sophisticated way. There are two ways to enable KCOV; use the compiler that natively supports -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, or build the SANCOV plugin if the compiler has ability to build GCC plugins. Hence, the correct dependency for KCOV is: depends on CC_HAS_SANCOV_TRACE_PC || GCC_PLUGINS You do not need to build the SANCOV plugin if the compiler already supports -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc. Hence, the select should be: select GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV if !CC_HAS_SANCOV_TRACE_PC With this, GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV is selected only when necessary, so scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins can be cleaner. I also cleaned up Kconfig and scripts/Makefile.kcov as well. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

dma-debug: check scatterlist segments Drivers/subsystems creating scatterlists for DMA should be taking care to respect the scatter-gather limitations of the appropriate device, as described by dma_parms. A DMA API implementation cannot feasibly split a scatterlist into *more* entries than originally passed, so it is not well defined what they should do when given a segment larger than the limit they are also required to respect. Conversely, devices which are less limited than the rather conservative defaults, or indeed have no limitations at all (e.g. GPUs with their own internal MMU), should be encouraged to set appropriate dma_parms, as they may get more efficient DMA mapping performance out of it.

kasan: rework Kconfig settings We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g. drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1. All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around 50 warnings on gcc-7. I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN). With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a "noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation. That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme cases. This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig build: 3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN") 16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN") Do we really need to backport this? I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8. Most people are probably still on older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their distros. The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0. I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are already there). Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should be.

locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y), while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably a worse overall outcome. If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity. Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's a marked difference between annotating locking operations and uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ... This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already, so we cannot risk this outcome. Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives, or it should not be included in the upstream kernel. ( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were introduced. ) Cc: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modes The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup. The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period which leads to false positives. A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups, which is not desired. Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI. That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' feature Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet. That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems. However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease' implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

x86/kconfig: Make it easier to switch to the new ORC unwinder A couple of Kconfig changes which make it much easier to switch to the new CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER: 1) Remove x86 dependencies on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER for lockdep, latencytop, and fault injection. x86 has a 'guess' unwinder which just scans the stack for kernel text addresses. It's not 100% accurate but in many cases it's good enough. This allows those users who don't want the text overhead of the frame pointer or ORC unwinders to still use these features. More importantly, this also makes it much more straightforward to disable frame pointers. 2) Make CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER depend on !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. While it would be possible to have both enabled, it doesn't really make sense to do so. So enforce a sane configuration to prevent the user from making a dumb mistake. With these changes, when you disable CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, "make oldconfig" will ask if you want to enable CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER.

x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

random: suppress spammy warnings about unseeded randomness Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted. However, users can't do anything actionble to address this, and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people. For developers who want to work on improving this situation, CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. By default the kernel will always print the first use of unseeded randomness. This way, hopefully the security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture or subarchitecture. To see all uses of unseeded randomness, developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

kmod: add test driver to stress test the module loader This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader. The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled for now. Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM fast with this test driver. The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple. Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build tests directly from userspace. Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory. We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

If you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh allow_user_defaults(). Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to hitting a trigger to run it: cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads Finally to trigger: echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases. A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two premises: a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective modules which are needed for the original request_module() request. b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c. A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues: 0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module() failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod. 1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs", not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas request_module() will not. This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for get_fs_type(). 2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also* fail to load even if the file for the module is ready. This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009. 3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory. 4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type() call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will* take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies. Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM. It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not having enough memory to reap.

kernel/watchdog: split up config options Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

test_sysctl: add dedicated proc sysctl test driver The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test cases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random safe production values to poke at, that's just insane! Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests to be added. Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl. The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which is already present upstream.

random: warn when kernel uses unseeded randomness This enables an important dmesg notification about when drivers have used the crng without it being seeded first. Prior, these errors would occur silently, and so there hasn't been a great way of diagnosing these types of bugs for obscure setups. By adding this as a config option, we can leave it on by default, so that we learn where these issues happen, in the field, will still allowing some people to turn it off, if they really know what they're doing and do not want the log entries. However, we don't leave it _completely_ by default. An earlier version of this patch simply had `default y`. I'd really love that, but it turns out, this problem with unseeded randomness being used is really quite present and is going to take a long time to fix. Thus, as a compromise between log-messages-for-all and nobody-knows, this is `default y`, except it is also `depends on DEBUG_KERNEL`. This will ensure that the curious see the messages while others don't have to. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

rcu: Remove the now-obsolete PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option The PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option was initially added due to the volume of messages from PROVE_RCU: Doing just one per boot would have required excessive numbers of boots to locate them all.

The effect of these parameters is to artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order to make some types of race conditions happen more often. This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's .boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05, and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Enable RCU tracepoints by default to aid in debugging While debugging a performance issue I needed to understand why RCU sofitrqs were firing so frequently. Unfortunately, the RCU callback tracepoints are hidden behind CONFIG_RCU_TRACE which defaults to off in the upstream kernel and is likely to also be disabled in enterprise distribution configs. Enable it by default for CONFIG_TREE_RCU. However, we must keep it disabled for tiny RCU, because it would otherwise pull in a large amount of code that would make tiny RCU less than tiny. I ran some file system metadata intensive workloads (git checkout, FS-Mark) on a variety of machines with this patch and saw no detectable change in performance.

siphash: add cryptographically secure PRF SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast, and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG chaining. For the first usage: There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant as a replacement for jhash in these cases. There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate. While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function, it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage poses a real security risk. For the second usage: A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers. SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy. Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels. SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of problems, and it's time we catch-up. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

config: Adding the new config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL for sparc This new config parameter limits the space used for "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" by about 4MB. The current sparc systems have the limitation of 32MB size for kernel size including .text, .data and .bss sections. With PROVE_LOCKING feature, the kernel size could grow beyond this limit and causing system boot-up issues. With this option, kernel limits the size of the entries of lock_chains, stack_trace etc., so that kernel fits in required size limit. This is not visible to user and only used for sparc.

In contrast, the newly added CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION is meant for security hardening and may be used on systems that intentionally do not enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. In this configuration, we get a warning from Kconfig about the mismatched dependencies: warning: (BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION) selects DEBUG_LIST which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL) This annotates the DEBUG_LIST option to be selectable by BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION when DEBUG_KERNEL is disabled.

bug: Provide toggle for BUG on data corruption The kernel checks for cases of data structure corruption under some CONFIGs (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST). When corruption is detected, some systems may want to BUG() immediately instead of letting the system run with known corruption. Usually these kinds of manipulation primitives can be used by security flaws to gain arbitrary memory write control. This provides a new config CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION and a corresponding macro CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION for handling these situations. Notably, even if not BUGing, the kernel should not continue processing the corrupted structure. This is inspired by similar hardening by Syed Rameez Mustafa in MSM kernels, and in PaX and Grsecurity, which is likely in response to earlier removal of the BUG calls in commit 924d9addb9b1 ("list debugging: use WARN() instead of BUG()").

mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for gcc 4.6 and newer: 1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to be working fine here. Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be changed to *always* be an error, regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS. 2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning This is another static warning which happens when I enable __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead code and the warning attribute is activated.) So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern, maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug". I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high. 3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size > object size. All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled for gcc 4.6 with the following commit: 2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact, __compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in gcc 4.6.) So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit. Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time, upgrade it to always be an error. Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer needed.

mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace Currently, we store each page's allocation stacktrace on corresponding page_ext structure and it requires a lot of memory. This causes the problem that memory tight system doesn't work well if page_owner is enabled. Moreover, even with this large memory consumption, we cannot get full stacktrace because we allocate memory at boot time and just maintain 8 stacktrace slots to balance memory consumption. We could increase it to more but it would make system unusable or change system behaviour. To solve the problem, this patch uses stackdepot to store stacktrace. It obviously provides memory saving but there is a drawback that stackdepot could fail. stackdepot allocates memory at runtime so it could fail if system has not enough memory. But, most of allocation stack are generated at very early time and there are much memory at this time. So, failure would not happen easily. And, one failure means that we miss just one page's allocation stacktrace so it would not be a big problem. In this patch, when memory allocation failure happens, we store special stracktrace handle to the page that is failed to save stacktrace. With it, user can guess memory usage properly even if failure happens. Memory saving looks as following. (4GB memory system with page_owner) (before the patch -> after the patch) static allocation: 92274688 bytes -> 25165824 bytes dynamic allocation after boot + kernel build: 0 bytes -> 327680 bytes total: 92274688 bytes -> 25493504 bytes 72% reduction in total. Note that implementation looks complex than someone would imagine because there is recursion issue. stackdepot uses page allocator and page_owner is called at page allocation. Using stackdepot in page_owner could re-call page allcator and then page_owner. That is a recursion. To detect and avoid it, whenever we obtain stacktrace, recursion is checked and page_owner is set to dummy information if found. Dummy information means that this page is allocated for page_owner feature itself (such as stackdepot) and it's understandable behavior for user.

debugfs: prevent access to possibly dead file_operations at file open Nothing prevents a dentry found by path lookup before a return of __debugfs_remove() to actually get opened after that return. Now, after the return of __debugfs_remove(), there are no guarantees whatsoever regarding the memory the corresponding inode's file_operations object had been kept in. Since __debugfs_remove() is seldomly invoked, usually from module exit handlers only, the race is hard to trigger and the impact is very low. A discussion of the problem outlined above as well as a suggested solution can be found in the (sub-)thread rooted at http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20130401203445.GA20862@ZenIV.linux.org.uk ("Yet another pipe related oops.") Basically, Greg KH suggests to introduce an intermediate fops and Al Viro points out that a pointer to the original ones may be stored in ->d_fsdata. Follow this line of reasoning: - Add SRCU as a reverse dependency of DEBUG_FS. - Introduce a srcu_struct object for the debugfs subsystem. - In debugfs_create_file(), store a pointer to the original file_operations object in ->d_fsdata. - Make debugfs_remove() and debugfs_remove_recursive() wait for a SRCU grace period after the dentry has been delete()'d and before they return to their callers. - Introduce an intermediate file_operations object named "debugfs_open_proxy_file_operations". It's ->open() functions checks, under the protection of a SRCU read lock, whether the dentry is still alive, i.e. has not been d_delete()'d and if so, tries to acquire a reference on the owning module. On success, it sets the file object's ->f_op to the original file_operations and forwards the ongoing open() call to the original ->open(). - For clarity, rename the former debugfs_file_operations to debugfs_noop_file_operations -- they are in no way canonical. The choice of SRCU over "normal" RCU is justified by the fact, that the former may also be used to protect ->i_private data from going away during the execution of a file's readers and writers which may (and do) sleep. Finally, introduce the fs/debugfs/internal.h header containing some declarations internal to the debugfs implementation.

kernel: add kcov code coverage kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible. Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message. So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements ubsan handlers printing errors. GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined option and its suboptions). However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2]. Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

page-flags: introduce page flags policies wrt compound pages This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function definitions for page flags. This argument defines how page-flags helpers behave on compound functions. For now we define four policies: - PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless if it's non-compound, head or tail. - PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the compound page if it gets tail page. - PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this helper function. - PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this helper function. For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current behaviour. We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags checked for random pages all over the kernel. Noticeable exception to this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE semantics by default. If userspace really believes it is safe to access the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an active driver. This protects device address ranges with read side effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver. Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem. In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via request_mem_region(). /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction by default. Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more difficult with this enabled. Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either: 1/ Disabling the driver, for example: echo <device id> > /dev/bus/<parent bus>/drivers/<driver name>/unbind 2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line 3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction. Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.

workqueue: implement lockup detector Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque. To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and, if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

net: add support for netdev notifier error injection This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using this module.

test_printf: test printf family at runtime This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities. Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf(). This should help catch such issues. Also, it should help ensure that changes to the formatting algorithms don't break anything. I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting. The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional table-driven approach. For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime values etc. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y When the kernel compiled with KASAN=y, GCC adds redzones for each variable on stack.

futex: Fault/error injection capabilities Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita, we really have very little debugging capabilities - except for relying on tglx's eye half the time. By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery, we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time. Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of this. There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

rcu: Control grace-period delays directly from value In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY in cases where it was not even used. This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay is a const variable initialized by default to zero. This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition, this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.

Since memblock API is widely used by other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world. This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and enables memtest feature for arm/arm64. It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays Recently there's been requests for better sanity checking in the time code, so that it's more clear when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues could manifest in a large number of strange ways in various subsystems. Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new warnings: 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles' overflow point, 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's 'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the overflow point. This extra infrastructure is conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also added in this patch - default off.

The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux. The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory. Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we depend on gdb >= 7.2. This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and out-of-bounds bugs. KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access, therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan instrumentation of globals. This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1]. Basic idea: The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to check the shadow memory on each memory access. Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a memory address to its corresponding shadow address. Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address: unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr) { return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET; } where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3. So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory. The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7) means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see mm/kasan/kasan.h). To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler. Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr), __asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error printed. Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov: "We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan), ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing, running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000 scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and lots of others): [2] [3] [4]. The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers. We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer (it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs. Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5]. We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also people from Samsung and Oracle have found some. [...] As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we finish all tuning). I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads. Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are relatively easy to port." Comparison with other debugging features: ======================================== KMEMCHECK: - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of uninitialized memory reads. Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck: $ netperf -l 30 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72 kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54 kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39 kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23 - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation. DEBUG_PAGEALLOC: - KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page granularity level, so it able to find more bugs. SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones): - SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan. - SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads, KASan able to detect both reads and writes. - In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact place of first bad read/write.

rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable. The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making use of SRCU are selected. If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. text data bss dec hex filename 2007 0 0 2007 7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o Size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from text data bss dec hex filename 831552 64180 23944 919676 e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before 829504 64180 23952 917636 e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature. This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and analyze it from this stored information. In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime without considerable memory waste. Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free, using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched. And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug. Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature using this interface. I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature, but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE Kconfig parameter causes preemptible RCU's CPU stall warnings to dump out any preempted tasks that are blocking the current RCU grace period. This information is useful, and the default has been CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y for some years. It is therefore time for this commit to remove this Kconfig parameter, so that future kernel builds will always act as if CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel module. Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to indicate it. switch (*value) { case 'n': break; case 'm': suffix = "_MODULE"; /* fall through */ This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent use of the "_MODULE" suffix. This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to "TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.

This corruption is often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be handled.

lib: Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Table Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare functions. Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections. Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place. Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure reverse chaining behaviour. Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.

kbuild: Support split debug info v4 This is an alternative approach to lower the overhead of debug info (as we discussed a few days ago) gcc 4.7+ and newer binutils have a new "split debug info" debug info model where the debug info is only written once into central ".dwo" files. This avoids having to copy it around multiple times, from the object files to the final executable. It lowers the disk space requirements. In addition it defaults to compressed debug data. More details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission This patch adds a new option to enable it. It has to be an option, because it'll undoubtedly break everyone's debuginfo packaging scheme. gdb/objdump/etc. all still work, if you have new enough versions. I don't see big compile wins (maybe a second or two faster or so), but the object dirs with debuginfo get significantly smaller. My standard kernel config (slightly bigger than defconfig) shrinks from 2.9G disk space to 1.1G objdir (with non reduced debuginfo). I presume if you are IO limited the compile time difference will be larger. Only problem I've seen so far is that it doesn't play well with older versions of ccache (apparently fixed, see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10005) v2: various fixes from Dirk Gouders. Improve commit message slightly. v3: Fix clean rules and improve Kconfig slightly v4: Fix merge error in last version (Sam Ravnborg) Clarify description that it mainly helps disk size.

kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config". There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this simple one-liner. DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little upside for the common use.

test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them behave unexpectedly. Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81d2 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses again, for any architecture. Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

test: add minimal module for verification testing This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree. Instead of putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the machine. These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules, and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of "test-". We should likely standardize on the former: $ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l 4 $ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l 2 The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used for just testing module loading and verification. The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM). This patch (of 2): When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no device or similar dependencies. This creates the "test_module.ko" module for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.

dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle() Record actively mapped pages and provide an api for asserting a given page is dma inactive before execution proceeds. Placing debug_dma_assert_idle() in cow_user_page() flagged the violation of the dma-api in the NET_DMA implementation (see commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"). The implementation includes the capability to count, in a limited way, repeat mappings of the same page that occur without an intervening unmap. This 'overlap' counter is limited to the few bits of tag space in a radix tree. This mechanism is added to mitigate false negative cases where, for example, a page is dma mapped twice and debug_dma_assert_idle() is called after the page is un-mapped once.

panic: Make panic_timeout configurable The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option 'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can set the desired value from the .config. The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout, arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

kobject: delayed kobject release: help find buggy drivers Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release function being immediately called. This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed. This results in the release method being delayed. In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was being held. This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

They are just scattered all over the "Kernel Hacking" menu. Sure, "memory debugging" is a very vague term and it's going to be hard to make absolute rules about what goes in here, but this has to be better than what we had before. This does, however, leave out the architecture-specific memory debugging options (like x86's DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX). There would need to be some substantial changes to move those in here. Kconfig can not easily mix arch-specific and generic options together: it really requires a file per-architecture, and I think having an arch/foo/Kconfig.debug-memory might be taking things a bit too far Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debugging Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock operation still completes in a reasonable time). This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't really expected to contend, ever. I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons: - EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM injection. So fine configurability isn't required. - The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)). The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N) lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition paths) without running into patalogical cases. Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

rcu: Reduce rcutorture tracing Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access. This can be problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system can generate 28,853,363 reads. Normally, only a failing read is of interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only trace failing reads. The resulting event tracing records the time and the ->completed value captured at the beginning of the RCU read-side critical section, allowing correlation with other event-tracing messages.

rbtree: add prio tree and interval tree tests Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x) on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees would still come out faster. Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic, and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree. Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here because the intervals are always non-overlapping. Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library. Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals; however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree. I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap' constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches, N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree. This patch: Add two test modules: - prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for insertion/removal and for stabbing searches - interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support. In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit, and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

Therefore, reproducing those bugs (to say nothing of gaining confidence in alleged fixes) was quite difficult.

rcu: Print scheduling-clock information on RCU CPU stall-warning messages There have been situations where RCU CPU stall warnings were caused by issues in scheduling-clock timer initialization. To make it easier to track these down, this commit causes the RCU CPU stall-warning messages to print out the number of scheduling-clock interrupts taken in the current grace period for each stalled CPU.

sysctl: Improve the sysctl sanity checks - Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables - Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check. * Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee we never add duplicate names. * Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the number of entries in the directory before we got there. - Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call it directtly from __register_sysctl_table - Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename to binary sysctl mapping. That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code. - Tighten up the permission checks. Guarnateeing that files only have read or write permissions. - Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has a procname. - Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by a memmory allocation failure. The backtrace allows us to track down who erroneously registered a sysctl table. Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=y): make-dummies 0 999 -> 12s rmmod dummy -> 0.08s Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=n): make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.7s rmmod dummy -> 0.06s make-dummies 0 99999 -> 1m13s rmmod dummy -> 0.38s Benchmark after: make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.65s rmmod dummy -> 0.055s make-dummies 0 9999 -> 1m10s rmmod dummy -> 0.39s The sysctl sanity checks now impose no measurable cost.

ARM: always use ARM_UNWIND for thumb2 kernels Thumb2 kernels cannot be built with frame pointers, but can use the ARM_UNWIND feature for unwinding instead. This makes sure that all features that rely on unwinding includeing CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER do not enable frame pointers when the unwinder is already selected, and we always build with the unwinder when we want a thumb2 kernel, to make sure we do not get the frame pointers instead. A different option would be to redefine the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS option on ARM to mean builing with either frame pointers or the unwinder, and then select which one to use based on the CPU architecture or another user option. That would still allow building thumb2 kernels without the unwinder but would also be more confusing. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

There is therefore no longer any reason to have kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel config parameters.

watchdog, hung_task_timeout: Add Kconfig configurable default This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead, so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though, it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task facility available but disabled at boot-time. The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from 120 seconds to 480 seconds.

kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right 1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a local implementation to the global one provide by kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

percpu_counter: add debugobj support All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81083f7f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81084076>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813b45cc>] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [<ffffffff813b50e5>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [<ffffffff811577d3>] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81132edd>] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81162e96>] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81162f86>] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff81162ff7>] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81163295>] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [<ffffffff81163cfa>] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [<ffffffff8117d446>] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8117df7f>] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [<ffffffff8103f01b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglxlinutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL. With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This code is incorrect, and this patch changes the TRACE_IRQFLAGS to be just a simple bool that does not depend or select anything. Instead both IRQSOFF_TRACER and PROVE_LOCKING select it.

rcu: Allow RCU CPU stall warnings to be off at boot, but manually enablable Currently, if RCU CPU stall warnings are enabled, they are enabled immediately upon boot. They can be manually disabled via /sys (and also re-enabled via /sys), and are automatically disabled upon panic. However, some users need RCU CPU stalls to be disabled at boot time, but to be enabled without rebuilding/rebooting. For example, someone running a real-time application in production might not want the additional latency of RCU CPU stall detection in normal operation, but might need to enable it at any point for fault isolation purposes. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel configuration parameter that maintains the current behavior (enable at boot) by default, but allows a kernel to be configured with RCU CPU stall detection built into the kernel, but disabled at boot time.

rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparse This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier. This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(), or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism. There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer() accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock.

Kbuild: Add option to set -femit-struct-debug-baseonly Newer gcc has a -femit-struct-debug-baseonly option that dramatically reduces the size of object files with debug info. What it does is to only emit type information for structures when the structures are defined in the same file or in a header file. This means the type information for most headers are not included. This is not good when the type information is actually needed (e.g. with kgdb or systemtap) But often kernel hackers only care about line numbers and don't need all the type information anyways. In this case setting the option can be a big win: A build dir for a specific x86-64 configuration with gcc 4.5 shrunk from 2.3G to 1.2G. The compilation was also nearly a minute faster.

tree/tiny rcu: Add debug RCU head objects Helps finding racy users of call_rcu(), which results in hangs because list entries are overwritten and/or skipped. Changelog since v4: - Bissectability is now OK - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with object_is_static(). - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack. - Remove init_rcu_head() completely. Changelog since v3: - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced "active state" tracker. Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here. This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause the callbacks to be executed twice. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: David S.

Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR + CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new config.

So if we want to enable CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR on configs that had CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP, all we need is to have the same enabling by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. We can then remove CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP directly. So tag CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR as default y. This is what we want for most serious kernel debugging anyway.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat, so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference(). To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can be detected per boot. This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY, which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep splats per boot to easily do so.

perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt, so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'. Fixing command-list.txt requires document (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt). But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now. And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitives Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6] Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

percpu: implement optional weak percpu definitions Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu variables in modules so that the compiler generates external references for them. This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable definitions. 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for all cases.

This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

"Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation This patch fixes a long-standing performance bug in classic RCU that results in massive internal-to-RCU lock contention on systems with more than a few hundred CPUs. Although this patch creates a separate flavor of RCU for ease of review and patch maintenance, it is intended to replace classic RCU. This patch still handles stress better than does mainline, so I am still calling it ready for inclusion. This patch is against the -tip tree. Nevertheless, experience on an actual 1000+ CPU machine would still be most welcome. Most of the changes noted below were found while creating an rcutiny (which should permit ejecting the current rcuclassic) and while doing detailed line-by-line documentation. Updates from v9 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/2/334): o Fixes from remainder of line-by-line code walkthrough, including comment spelling, initialization, undesirable narrowing due to type conversion, removing redundant memory barriers, removing redundant local-variable initialization, and removing redundant local variables. I do not believe that any of these fixes address the CPU-hotplug issues that Andi Kleen was seeing, but please do give it a whirl in case the machine is smarter than I am. A writeup from the walkthrough may be found at the following URL, in case you are suffering from terminal insomnia or masochism: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/tmp/rcutree-walkthrough.2008.12.16a.pdf o Made rcutree tracing use seq_file, as suggested some time ago by Lai Jiangshan. o Added a .csv variant of the rcudata debugfs trace file, to allow people having thousands of CPUs to drop the data into a spreadsheet. Tested with oocalc and gnumeric. Updated documentation to suit. Updates from v8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/15/139): o Fix a theoretical race between grace-period initialization and force_quiescent_state() that could occur if more than three jiffies were required to carry out the grace-period initialization. Which it might, if you had enough CPUs. o Apply Ingo's printk-standardization patch. o Substitute local variables for repeated accesses to global variables. o Fix comment misspellings and redundant (but harmless) increments of ->n_rcu_pending (this latter after having explicitly added it). o Apply checkpatch fixes. Updates from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/10/291): o Fixed a number of problems noted by Gautham Shenoy, including the cpu-stall-detection bug that he was having difficulty convincing me was real. ;-) o Changed cpu-stall detection to wait for ten seconds rather than three in order to reduce false positive, as suggested by Ingo Molnar. o Produced a design document (http://lwn.net/Articles/305782/). The act of writing this document uncovered a number of both theoretical and "here and now" bugs as noted below. o Fix dynticks_nesting accounting confusion, simplify WARN_ON() condition, fix kerneldoc comments, and add memory barriers in dynticks interface functions. o Add more data to tracing. o Remove unused "rcu_barrier" field from rcu_data structure. o Count calls to rcu_pending() from scheduling-clock interrupt to use as a surrogate timebase should jiffies stop counting. o Fix a theoretical race between force_quiescent_state() and grace-period initialization. Yes, initialization does have to go on for some jiffies for this race to occur, but given enough CPUs... Updates from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/23/448): o Fix a number of checkpatch.pl complaints. o Apply review comments from Ingo Molnar and Lai Jiangshan on the stall-detection code. o Fix several bugs in !CONFIG_SMP builds. o Fix a misspelled config-parameter name so that RCU now announces at boot time if stall detection is configured. o Run tests on numerous combinations of configurations parameters, which after the fixes above, now build and run correctly. Updates from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/92, bad subject line): o Fix a compiler error in the !CONFIG_FANOUT_EXACT case (blew a changeset some time ago, and finally got around to retesting this option). o Fix some tracing bugs in rcupreempt that caused incorrect totals to be printed. o I now test with a more brutal random-selection online/offline script (attached). Probably more brutal than it needs to be on the people reading it as well, but so it goes. o A number of optimizations and usability improvements: o Make rcu_pending() ignore the grace-period timeout when there is no grace period in progress. o Make force_quiescent_state() avoid going for a global lock in the case where there is no grace period in progress. o Rearrange struct fields to improve struct layout. o Make call_rcu() initiate a grace period if RCU was idle, rather than waiting for the next scheduling clock interrupt. o Invoke rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() only when idle, as suggested by Andi Kleen. I still don't completely trust this change, and might back it out. o Make CONFIG_RCU_TRACE be the single config variable manipulated for all forms of RCU, instead of the prior confusion. o Document tracing files and formats for both rcupreempt and rcutree. Updates from v4 for those missing v5 given its bad subject line: o Separated dynticks interface so that NMIs and irqs call separate functions, greatly simplifying it. In particular, this code no longer requires a proof of correctness. ;-) o Separated dynticks state out into its own per-CPU structure, avoiding the duplicated accounting. o The case where a dynticks-idle CPU runs an irq handler that invokes call_rcu() is now correctly handled, forcing that CPU out of dynticks-idle mode. o Review comments have been applied (thank you all!!!). For but one example, fixed the dynticks-ordering issue that Manfred pointed out, saving me much debugging. ;-) o Adjusted rcuclassic and rcupreempt to handle dynticks changes. Attached is an updated patch to Classic RCU that applies a hierarchy, greatly reducing the contention on the top-level lock for large machines. This passes 10-hour concurrent rcutorture and online-offline testing on 128-CPU ppc64 without dynticks enabled, and exposes some timekeeping bugs in presence of dynticks (exciting working on a system where "sleep 1" hangs until interrupted...), which were fixed in the 2.6.27 kernel. It is getting more reliable than mainline by some measures, so the next version will be against -tip for inclusion. See also Manfred Spraul's recent patches (or his earlier work from 2004 at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=108546384711797&w=2). We will converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are currently exploring different regions of the design space. That said, I have already gratefully stolen quite a few of Manfred's ideas. This patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness of the RCU hierarchy. Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on 64-bit machines. If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, there is no hierarchy. By default, the RCU initialization code will adjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA architectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable this balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the underlying hardware. Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted (in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit systems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems. I just know that I am going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient for the foreseeable future. (Some architectures might wish to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs. If this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I doubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.) In the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data structure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate neighbors. This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple orders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange manipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on very large systems. Some shortcomings: o More bugs will probably surface as a result of an ongoing line-by-line code inspection. Patches will be provided as required. o There are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, &c. Seems quite stable on a 128-CPU machine, but that is kind of small compared to 4096 CPUs. However, seems to do better than mainline. Patches will be provided as required. o The memory footprint of this version is several KB larger than rcuclassic. A separate UP-only rcutiny patch will be provided, which will reduce the memory footprint significantly, even compared to the old rcuclassic. One such patch passes light testing, and has a memory footprint smaller even than rcuclassic. Initial reaction from various embedded guys was "it is not worth it", so am putting it aside.

driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages. I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: <module_name> <enabled=0/1> . . . <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command.

rcu: RCU-based detection of stalled CPUs for Classic RCU This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which defaults disabled. This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about. This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4). The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature is enabled.

powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

docsrc: build Documentation/ sources Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code instead of bad examples. Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir. Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol. Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system. However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need to be installed (for userspace builds).

rcu, debug: detect stalled grace periods this is a diagnostic patch for Classic RCU. The approach is to record a timestamp at the beginning of the grace period (in rcu_start_batch()), then have rcu_check_callbacks() complain if: 1. it is running on a CPU that has holding up grace periods for a long time (say one second). This will identify the culprit assuming that the culprit has not disabled hardware irqs, instruction execution, or some such. 2. it is running on a CPU that is not holding up grace periods, but grace periods have been held up for an even longer time (say two seconds). It is enabled via the default-off CONFIG_DEBUG_RCU_STALL kernel parameter. Rather than exponential backoff, it backs off to once per 30 seconds. My feeling upon thinking on it was that if you have stalled RCU grace periods for that long, a few extra printk() messages are probably the least of your worries... Signed-off-by: Paul E.

mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

rcu: make rcutorture more vicious: reinstate boot-time testing This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into the Linux kernel. The reason that this capability was removed was that this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default, (2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel. Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero. The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Revert "prohibit rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel" This reverts commit 9aaffc898ff4a3df18c5fc4b9e0fa47e779ad726. That commit was a very bad idea. RCU_TORTURE found many boot timing bugs and other sorts of bugs in the past, so excluding it from boot images is very silly. The option already depends on DEBUG_KERNEL and is disabled by default. Even when it runs, the test threads are reniced. If it annoys people we could add a runtime sysctl.

infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

With some research and fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably lowered. With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think that is all code that should be just fixed.

SLUB: Support for performance statistics The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load. -r Report option will report detailed statistics on Example (tbench load): slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast skbuff_fclone_cache 33 111953835 111953835 99 99 :0000192 2666 5283688 5281047 99 99 :0001024 849 5247230 5246389 83 83 vm_area_struct 1349 119642 118355 91 22 :0004096 15 66753 66751 98 98 :0000064 2067 25297 23383 98 78 dentry 10259 28635 18464 91 45 :0000080 11004 18950 8089 98 98 :0000096 1703 12358 10784 99 98 :0000128 762 10582 9875 94 18 :0000512 184 9807 9647 95 81 :0002048 479 9669 9195 83 65 anon_vma 777 9461 9002 99 71 kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97 :0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15 So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.

x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early) This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted. A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt and I've put a copy online at ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it another copy of it is online at: ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/kernel/ohci1394_dma_early-v2.diff Signed-Off-By: Bernhard Kaindl <bk@suse.de> Tested-By: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

x86: kprobes: add kprobes smoke tests that run on boot Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself. This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix. This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the (usually ancient, bitrotten) code in question is either updated or deleted.

slow down printk during boot Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

Cheat a little, just use debug_smp_processor_id() in the debug version of get_paca(): it contains all the right checks and reporting, though get_paca() doesn't really use smp_processor_id(). Use local_paca for what might have been called __raw_get_paca(). Silence harmless warnings from io.h and lparcfg.c with local_paca - it is okay for iseries_lparcfg_data to be referencing shared_proc with preemption enabled: all cpus should show the same value for shared_proc.

lockstat: core infrastructure Introduce the core lock statistics code. Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.) It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using: /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke unneeded ifdefs] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Under some circumstances (such as the PARISC architecture), DEBUG_KERNEL can increase kernel size, which is an undesirable trade off for something as trivial as increasing the kernel log buffer size.

blackfin architecture This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561 (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP, BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards. The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean, orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete documentation, including "getting started" guides available at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for bfin-linux-uclibc This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution, uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can be found at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[PATCH] fault injection: split up stacktrace filter Kconfig option There is no prompt for CONFIG_STACKTRACE, so FAULT_INJECTION cannot be selected without LOCKDEP enabled. (found by Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso) In order to fix such broken Kconfig dependency, this patch splits up the stacktrace filter support for fault injection by new Kconfig option, which enables to use fault injection on the architecture which doesn't have general stacktrace support.

[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature. The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are interested in. For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call, but also indirect allocation, too. - e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone --> kmem_cache_alloc This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh helps it. The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be [/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text) So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

[PATCH] Generic BUG for i386 This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional changes from the old i386 implementation. The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function) information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.

[PATCH] Generic BUG implementation This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.

[PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(), panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>. This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of tasklet_action().

[PATCH] avr32 architecture This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000 CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board. AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures. The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from Atmel. Full data sheet is available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for booting from SD card. Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for avr32-linux. This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.

[PATCH] lockdep: core Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

[PATCH] Add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL. These will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the kernel and are on the way out. When a module uses such a symbol, a warning is printk'd at modprobe time. The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option.

[PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Set DEBUG_MUTEX to off by default DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration. During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the checking. For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.

[PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel module This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by: "Paul E.

[PATCH] detect soft lockups This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP. When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by the lockup.

[PATCH] uml: split CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER from DEBUG_INFO Until now, FRAME_POINTER was set = DEBUG_INFO for UML. Change it to be the default way, so that it can be enabled alone (for instance to get better backtraces on crashes). The call-trace dumper which uses the frame pointer is not yet in, I'm going to introduce it in a separate patch.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
