kfence: show cpu and timestamp in alloc/free info

2021-09-08T18:50:24+00:00

Record cpu and timestamp on allocations and frees, and show them in
reports.  Upon an error, this can help correlate earlier messages in the
kernel log via allocation and free timestamps.

can support all KASAN modes - generic, and both tag-based.

kunit: tool: make --raw_output support only showing kunit output

2021-08-13T19:32:01+00:00

--raw_output is nice, but it would be nicer if could show only output
after KUnit tests have started.

So change the flag to allow specifying a string ('kunit').
Make it so `--raw_output` alone will default to `--raw_output=all` and
have the same original behavior.

Drop the small kunit_parser.raw_output() function since it feels wrong
to put it in "kunit_parser.py" when the point of it is to not parse
anything.

E.g.

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --raw_output=kunit

kunit: tool: add --kernel_args to allow setting module params

2021-08-13T19:28:47+00:00

kunit.py currently does not make it possible for users to specify module
parameters (/kernel arguments more generally) unless one directly tweaks
the kunit.py code itself.

This hasn't mattered much so far, but this would make it easier to port
existing tests that expose module parameters over to KUnit and/or let
current KUnit tests take advantage of them.

Tested using an kunit internal parameter:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=lib/kunit \
    --kernel_args=kunit.filter_glob=kunit_status
...
Testing complete. 2 tests run. 0 failed. 0 crashed. 0 skipped.

kcsan: Rework atomic.h into permissive.h

2021-07-20T20:49:43+00:00

Rework atomic.h into permissive.h to better reflect its purpose, and
introduce kcsan_ignore_address() and kcsan_ignore_data_race().

Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE and update the stub functions in
preparation for subsequent changes.

As before, developers who choose to use KCSAN in "strict" mode will see
all data races and are not affected. Furthermore, by relying on the
value-change filter logic for kcsan_ignore_data_race(), even if the
permissive rules are enabled, the opt-outs in report.c:skip_report()
override them (such as for RCU-related functions by default).

The option CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE is disabled by default, so that the
documented default behaviour of KCSAN does not change. Instead, like
CONFIG_KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS, the option needs to be explicitly opted in.

kcsan: Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT

2021-07-20T20:49:43+00:00

Add a simpler Kconfig variable to configure KCSAN's "strict" mode. This
makes it simpler in documentation or messages to suggest just a single
configuration option to select the strictest checking mode (vs.
currently having to list several options).

Documentation: kunit: drop obsolete note about uml_abort for coverage

2021-07-12T19:54:12+00:00

Commit b6d5799b0b58 ("kunit: Add 'kunit_shutdown' option") changes KUnit
to call kernel_halt() by default when done testing.

This fixes the issue with not having .gcda files due to not calling
atexit() handlers, and therefore we can stop recommending people
manually tweak UML code.

The need to use older versions of GCC (<=6) remains however, due to
linktime issues, same as before. Note: There also might still be issues
with .gcda files as well in newer versions.
