Kirill reported that the decode_stacktrace.sh script was broken by the
following commit:
bb5e5ce545f2 ("x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump")
Fix it by updating the per-line absolute address check to also check for
function-based address lines like the following:
write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
I didn't remove the check for absolute addresses because it's still
needed for ARM.

The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target
config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come
with the "select" keyword.
This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their
ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to
configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers.
Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with:
config DRIVER_A
tristate
config DRIVER_B
tristate
config DRIVER_C
tristate
config DRIVER_D
tristate
[...]
config SUBSYSTEM_X
tristate
default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...]
This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers.
Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X
to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select"
keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence
this "imply" keyword. The above becomes:
config DRIVER_A
tristate
imply SUBSYSTEM_X
config DRIVER_B
tristate
imply SUBSYSTEM_X
[...]
config SUBSYSTEM_X
tristate
This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X
can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of
the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

Merge fixes for -Wmaybe-uninitialized from Arnd Bergmann:
"It took a while for some patches to make it into mainline through
maintainer trees, but the 28-patch series is now reduced to 10, with
one tiny patch added at the end.
Aside from patches that are no longer required, I did these changes
compared to version 1:
- Dropped "iio: maxim_thermocouple: detect invalid storage size in
read()", which is currently in linux-next as commit 32cb7d27e65d.
This is the only remaining warning I see for a couple of corner
cases (kbuild bot reports it on blackfin, kernelci bot and arm-soc
bot both report it on arm64)
- Dropped "brcmfmac: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning in
brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap", which is currently in net/master merge
pending.
- Dropped two x86 patches, "x86: math-emu: possible uninitialized
variable use" and "x86: mark target address as output in 'insb'
asm" as they do not seem to trigger for a default build, and I got
no feedback on them. Both of these are ancient issues and seem
harmless, I will send them again to the x86 maintainers once the
rest is merged.
- Dropped "rbd: false-postive gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized" based on
feedback from Ilya Dryomov, who already has a different fix queued
up for v4.10. The kbuild bot reports this as a warning for xtensa.
- Replaced "crypto: aesni: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning" with
a simpler patch, this one always triggers but my first solution
would not be safe for linux-4.9 any more at this point. I'll follow
up with the larger patch as a cleanup for 4.10.
- Replaced "dib0700: fix nec repeat handling" with a better one,
contributed by Sean Young"
* -Wmaybe-uninitialized fixes:
Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings by default
pcmcia: fix return value of soc_pcmcia_regulator_set
infiniband: shut up a maybe-uninitialized warning
crypto: aesni: shut up -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
rc: print correct variable for z8f0811
dib0700: fix nec repeat handling
s390: pci: don't print uninitialized data for debugging
nios2: fix timer initcall return value
x86: apm: avoid uninitialized data
NFSv4.1: work around -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"
|
|
Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above, this
now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed all
warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10.
I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted
bugfixes for those. Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder in
the future as soon as this patch is merged.

Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
[2].
Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
positives, and in commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number
of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.
With commit 877417e6ffb9 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
for ARM randconfig builds.
However, commit 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
obviously never happen.
I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
the actual bugs earlier.
This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables
it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
of false-positives.

The CRC code for asm exports grabs the preprocessed asm, finds the
___EXPORT_SYMBOL and turns those into EXPORT_SYMBOL in a C program
that can be preprocessed and parsed to create the CRC signatures from
the type.
The existing regex matching and replacement is too strict, and doesn't
deal well with whitespace among other things. The line
" EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym)" in a .S file would not match due to initial
whitespace, for example, which resulted in x86's ___preempt_schedule
failing to get CRCs.

Adding -no-PIE to the fstack protector check. -no-PIE was introduced
before -fstack-protector so there is no need for a runtime check.
Without it the build stops:
|Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong available but compiler is broken
due to -mcmodel=kernel + -fPIE if -fPIE is enabled by default.

The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long
on 32-bit architectures when the given function had too many basic blocks.
The gcc warning was:
drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c: In function 'ibmphp_access_ebda':
drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c:409:1: warning: the frame size of 1108 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

I'm not sure how we missed this problem before. When I take a function
address and size from an oops and give it to faddr2line, it usually
complains about a size mismatch:
$ scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
skipping write_sysrq_trigger address at 0xffffffff815731a1 due to size mismatch (0x60 != 83)
no match for write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
The problem is caused by differences in how kallsyms and faddr2line
determine a function's size.
kallsyms calculates a function's size by parsing the output of 'nm -n'
and subtracting the next function's address from the current function's
address. This means that nop instructions after the end of the function
are included in the size.
In contrast, faddr2line reads the size from the symbol table, which does
*not* include the ending nops in the function's size.
Change faddr2line to calculate the size from the output of 'nm -n' to be
consistent with kallsyms and oops outputs.

Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span
multiple lines.
Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list.
Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO>
permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names.
This can now find and fix permissions uses like:

S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible.
Linus didst say:
: It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the
: symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to
: understand. You really have to think about it.
:
: So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic
: permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers.
:
: The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the
: inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic
: names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the
: kernel, not in user space.

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).
To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.
Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the
old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant
to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around
required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and
more"

pm_runtime.cocci starts with one rule that searches for a variety of
functions calls, followed by various rules that report errors. Previously,
the only connection between the first rule and the rest was to check that
the first rule had matched somewhere. Change the rules to propagate a
position from the first rule to the others, to make sure that the sites
reported on are the same as the sites that were identified as having the
relevant functions.
