mm: fix CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB description

2014-04-18T23:40:09+00:00

This appears to be a copy/paste error.  Update the description to
reflect extra rbtree debug and checks for the config option instead of
duplicating CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2014-04-12T21:49:50+00:00

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

locktorture: Add a lock-torture kernel module

rcutorture: Abstract rcu_torture_random()

2014-02-23T17:00:58+00:00

Because rcu_torture_random() will be used by the locking equivalent to
rcutorture, pull it out into its own module.  This new module cannot
be separately configured, instead, use the Kconfig "select" statement
from the Kconfig options of tests depending on it.

kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST

2014-02-04T20:20:01+00:00

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

2014-01-24T00:36:57+00:00

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

2014-01-24T00:36:57+00:00

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()

2014-01-22T00:19:41+00:00

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.
