asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype

2017-07-10T23:32:34+00:00

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of
"include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch
5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro
to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6).  Patches 1 to 4
are prerequisites.

Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of
this patch series.  Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2.

Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of
warnings when  was included by .  That is
no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was
acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz.

Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on
"include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch
5.

Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h"
into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including
 in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures
due to circular dependencies.

Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid
some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has
array type.

1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype
2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment
3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)"
4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'"
5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into 
6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()

This patch (of 6):

The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its
parameters.  This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not
already declared.  Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid
the warnings.

debug: Avoid setting BUGFLAG_WARNING twice

2017-04-14T08:20:13+00:00

Dan reported that his static checking complains about BUGFLAG_WARNING
being set on both sides of the bitwise-or, it figures that that might've
been an unintentional mistake.

Since there are no architectures that implement __WARN_TAINT() (I
converted them all to implement __WARN_FLAGS()), and all __WARN_FLAGS()
implementations already set BUGFLAG_WARNING, we can remove the bit from
BUGFLAG_TAINT() and make Dan's checker happy.

debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()

2017-03-30T07:37:20+00:00

Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a
bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra
variable.

Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have
printk() statements prior to triggering the trap.

Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data:

 "There are only three patches this time, most other changes to files in

  the change.

  Two patches are cleanups for stuff that is no longer needed, the main
  change is to adapt the generic version of BUG_ON() for CONFIG_BUG=n to
  make it behave consistently with BUG().

  This avoids undefined behavior along with a number of warnings about
  that undefined behavior in randconfig builds when we keep going on
  after hitting a BUG_ON()"

lib/bug.c: use common WARN helper

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

The traceoff_on_warning option doesn't have any effect on s390, powerpc,
arm64, parisc, and sh because there are two different types of WARN
implementations:

1) The above mentioned architectures treat WARN() as a special case of a
   BUG() exception.  They handle warnings in report_bug() in lib/bug.c.

2) All other architectures just call warn_slowpath_*() directly.  Their
   warnings are handled in warn_slowpath_common() in kernel/panic.c.

Support traceoff_on_warning on all architectures and prevent any future
divergence by using a single common function to emit the warning.

Also remove the '()' from '%pS()', because the parentheses look funky:

bug: set warn variable before calling WARN()

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

This has hit me a couple of times already.  I would be debugging code
and the system would simply hang and then reboot.  Finally, I found that
the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends.

The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as:

	static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned;
	int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition);

	if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once))
		if (WARN_ON(!__warned))
			__warned = true;

	unlikely(__ret_warn_once);

Which looks great and all.  But what I have hit, is an issue when
WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code.  Because, the
variable __warned is not yet set.  Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that
triggers the warning again.  It keeps doing this until the stack is
overflowed and the system crashes.

By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original
WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of
times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.

asm-generic: default BUG_ON(x) to if(x)BUG()

2016-03-01T21:25:12+00:00

When CONFIG_BUG is disabled, BUG_ON() will only evaluate the condition,
but will not actually stop the current thread. GCC warns about a couple
of BUG_ON() users where this actually leads to further undefined
behavior:

include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h: In function 'ceph_can_shift_osds':
include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h:54:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_map_blocks':
fs/ext4/inode.c:548:5: warning: 'retval' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c: In function 'prcmu_config_clkout':
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:762:10: warning: 'div_mask' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:769:13: warning: 'mask' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:757:7: warning: 'bits' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'univ8250_release_irq':
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:252:18: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:235:19: note: 'i' was declared here

There is an obvious conflict of interest here: on the one hand, someone
who disables CONFIG_BUG() will want the kernel to be as small as possible
and doesn't care about printing error messages to a console that nobody
looks at. On the other hand, running into a BUG_ON() condition means that
something has gone wrong, and we probably want to also stop doing things
that might cause data corruption.

This patch picks the second choice, and changes the NOP to BUG(), which
normally stops the execution of the current thread in some form (endless
loop or a trap). This follows the logic we applied in a4b5d580e078 ("bug:
Make BUG() always stop the machine").

For ARM multi_v7_defconfig, the size slightly increases:

section		CONFIG_BUG=y	CONFIG_BUG=n	CONFIG_BUG=n+patch

  .text            8320248   |     8180944   |     8207688
  .rodata          3633720   |     3567144   |     3570648
  __bug_table        32508   |         ---   |         ---
  __modver             692   |        1584   |        2176
  .init.text        558132   |      548300   |      550088
  .exit.text         12380   |       12256   |       12380
  .data            1016672   |     1016064   |     1016128
  Total           14622556   |    14374510   |    14407326

So instead of saving 1.70% of the total image size, we only save 1.48%
by turning off CONFIG_BUG, but in return we can ensure that we don't run
into cases of uninitialized variable or return code uses when something
bad happens. Aside from that, we significantly reduce the number of
warnings in randconfig builds, which makes it easier to fix the warnings
about other problems.

bug: Make BUG() always stop the machine

2014-04-07T23:36:10+00:00

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an
infinite loop rather than a no-op.  This avoids undefined behavior if
execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code
after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not
returning).
