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.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

Pull fixup for trivial branch from Jiri Kosina:
"Unfortunately I made a mistake when merging into for-linus branch, and
omitted one pre-requisity patch for a few other patches (which have
been Acked by the appropriate maintainers) in the series. Mea culpa
maxima, sorry for that."
The trivial branch added %pSR usage before actually teaching vsnprintf()
about the 'R' part of %pSR. The 'R' causes the symbol translation to do
a "__builtin_extract_return_addr()" before symbol lookup.
That said, on most architectures __builtin_extract_return_addr() isn't
likely to do anything special, so it probably is not normally
noticeable.

vsprintf: Add extension %pSR - print_symbol replacement
|
|
print_symbol takes a long and converts it to a function
name and offset. %pS does something similar, but doesn't
translate the address via __builtin_extract_return_addr.
%pSR does the translation.
This will enable replacing multiple calls like
printk(...);
printk_symbol(addr);
printk("\n");
with a single non-interleavable in dmesg
printk("... %pSR\n", (void *)addr);
Update documentation too.

As Tejun points out, there are several users of the IDR facility that
attempt to use it in a cyclic fashion. These users are likely to see
-ENOSPC errors after the counter wraps one or more times however.
This patchset adds a new idr_alloc_cyclic routine and converts several
of these users to it. Many of these users are in obscure parts of the
kernel, and I don't have a good way to test some of them. The change is
pretty straightforward though, so hopefully it won't be an issue.
There is one other cyclic user of idr_alloc that I didn't touch in
ipc/util.c. That one is doing some strange stuff that I didn't quite
understand, but it looks like it should probably be converted later
somehow.
This patch:
Thus spake Tejun Heo:
Ooh, BTW, the cyclic allocation is broken. It's prone to -ENOSPC
after the first wraparound. There are several cyclic users in the
kernel and I think it probably would be best to implement cyclic
support in idr.
This patch does that by adding new idr_alloc_cyclic function that such
users in the kernel can use. With this, there's no need for a caller to
keep track of the last value used as that's now tracked internally. This
should prevent the ENOSPC problems that can hit when the "last allocated"
counter exceeds INT_MAX.
Later patches will convert existing cyclic users to the new interface.

argv_split() allocates argv[count_argc(str)] array and assumes that it
will find the same number of arguments later. This is obviously wrong if
this string can be changed, say, by sysctl.
With this patch argv_split() kstrndup's the whole string and does not
split it, we simply replace the spaces with zeroes and keep the allocated
memory in argv[-1] for argv_free(arg).
We do not use argv[0] because:
- str can be all-spaces or empty. In fact this case is fine,
we could kfree() it before return, but:
- str can have a space at the start, and we can not rely on
kstrndup(skip_spaces(str)) because it can equally race if
this string is mutable.
Also, simplify count_argc() and kill the no longer used skip_arg().

This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c:
devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool.
devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps
track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to
automatically destroy it after device removal.
dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was
created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find.
of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and
property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a
platform device node. The corresponding platform device is then fed into
dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.
In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.
To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This
is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
in many places.)
After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.
We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.
Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.
For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could

Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
and re-loading. To quote Anatol:
"This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
kobject_put(). kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
thread.
Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
the same kobject:
THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj()) THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
splin_lock()
atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
... starts kobject cleanup ....
spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
iterate over kset->list
atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
spin_unlock()
spin_lock() // taken
// it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
remove obj from list
spin_unlock()
vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj
// kobj points to freed memory area!!
kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!
The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
when somebody unloads module. The module.c code was introduced in
commit 6494a93d55fa"
Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
refcount has already dropped to zero.
See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().
[ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
module mutex. That may require further thought, but this is the
correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

There were reports of the igb driver unmapping buffers without calling
dma_mapping_error. On closer inspection issues were found in the DMA
debug API and how it handled multiple mappings of the same buffer.
The issue I found is the fact that the debug_dma_mapping_error would
only set the map_err_type to MAP_ERR_CHECKED in the case that the was
only one match for device and device address. However in the case of
non-IOMMU, multiple addresses existed and as a result it was not setting
this field once a second mapping was instantiated. I have resolved this
by changing the search so that it instead will now set MAP_ERR_CHECKED
on the first buffer that matches the device and DMA address that is
currently in the state MAP_ERR_NOT_CHECKED.
A secondary side effect of this patch is that in the case of multiple
buffers using the same address only the last mapping will have a valid
map_err_type. The previous mappings will all end up with map_err_type
set to MAP_ERR_CHECKED because of the dma_mapping_error call in
debug_dma_map_page. However this behavior may be preferable as it means
you will likely only see one real error per multi-mapped buffer, versus
the current behavior of multiple false errors mer multi-mapped buffer.

In check_unmap() it is possible to get into a dead-locked state if
dma_mapping_error is called. The problem is that the bucket is locked in
check_unmap, and locked again by debug_dma_mapping_error which is called
by dma_mapping_error. To resolve that we must release the lock on the
bucket before making the call to dma_mapping_error.

wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk()
nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on
log_wait waitqueue. It should be a stub in this case for users like
bust_spinlocks().
Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n:
kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd':
(.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue'
To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when
CONFIG_PRINTK=n.
There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code
in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK. But for now,
focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.

GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the
allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be
expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified
allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This
order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of
preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the
burden of allocation to the preload users.
Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up
generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from
the preload buffer.
This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first
kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after
allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated
if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.

idr_find(), idr_remove() and idr_replace() used to silently ignore the
sign bit and perform lookup with the rest of the bits. The weird behavior
has been changed such that negative IDs are treated as invalid. As the
behavior change was subtle, WARN_ON_ONCE() was added in the hope of
determining who's calling idr functions with negative IDs so that they can
be examined for problems.
Up until now, all two reported cases are ID number coming directly from
userland and getting fed into idr_find() and the warnings seem to cause
more problems than being helpful. Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE()s.

Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...
The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).
The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:
1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
ptrace/kgdb/.. later
2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
record the revision history.

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.
The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel.
This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.
The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.
I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
functionality is missing from it.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Until recently, when an negative ID is specified, idr functions used to
ignore the sign bit and proceeded with the operation with the rest of
bits, which is bizarre and error-prone. The behavior recently got changed
so that negative IDs are treated as invalid but we're triggering
WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs just in case somebody was depending on the
sign bit being ignored, so that those can be detected and fixed easily.
We only need this for a while. Explain why WARN_ON_ONCE()s are there and
that they can be removed later.

While idr lookup isn't a particularly heavy operation, it still is too
substantial to use in hot paths without worrying about the performance
implications. With recent changes, each idr_layer covers 256 slots
which should be enough to cover most use cases with single idr_layer
making lookup hint very attractive.
This patch adds idr->hint which points to the idr_layer which
allocated an ID most recently and the fast path lookup becomes
if (look up target's prefix matches that of the hinted layer)
return hint->ary[ID's offset in the leaf layer];
which can be inlined.
idr->hint is set to the leaf node on idr_fill_slot() and cleared from
free_layer().

Add a field which carries the prefix of ID the idr_layer covers. This
will be used to implement lookup hint.
This patch doesn't make use of the new field and doesn't introduce any
behavior difference.

Currently, idr->bitmap is declared as an unsigned long which restricts
the number of bits an idr_layer can contain. All bitops can handle
arbitrary positive integer bit number and there's no reason for this
restriction.
Declare idr_layer->bitmap using DECLARE_BITMAP() instead of a single
unsigned long.
* idr_layer->bitmap is now an array. '&' dropped from params to
bitops.
* Replaced "== IDR_FULL" tests with bitmap_full() and removed
IDR_FULL.
* Replaced find_next_bit() on ~bitmap with find_next_zero_bit().
* Replaced "bitmap = 0" with bitmap_clear().
This patch doesn't (or at least shouldn't) introduce any behavior
changes.

MAX_IDR_MASK is another weirdness in the idr interface. As idr covers
whole positive integer range, it's defined as 0x7fffffff or INT_MAX.
Its usage in idr_find(), idr_replace() and idr_remove() is bizarre.
They basically mask off the sign bit and operate on the rest, so if
the caller, by accident, passes in a negative number, the sign bit
will be masked off and the remaining part will be used as if that was
the input, which is worse than crashing.
The constant is visible in idr.h and there are several users in the
kernel.
* drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:i2c_add_numbered_adapter()
Basically used to test if adap->nr is a negative number which isn't
-1 and returns -EINVAL if so. idr_alloc() already has negative
@start checking (w/ WARN_ON_ONCE), so this can go away.
* drivers/infiniband/core/cm.c:cm_alloc_id()
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/cm.c:id_map_alloc()
Used to wrap cyclic @start. Can be replaced with max(next, 0).
Note that this type of cyclic allocation using idr is buggy. These
are prone to spurious -ENOSPC failure after the first wraparound.
* fs/super.c:get_anon_bdev()
The ID allocated from ida is masked off before being tested whether
it's inside valid range. ida allocated ID can never be a negative
number and the masking is unnecessary.
Update idr_*() functions to fail with -EINVAL when negative @id is
specified and update other MAX_IDR_MASK users as described above.
This leaves MAX_IDR_MASK without any user, remove it and relocate
other MAX_IDR_* constants to lib/idr.c.

Most functions in idr fail to deal with the high bits when the idr
tree grows to the maximum height.
* idr_get_empty_slot() stops growing idr tree once the depth reaches
MAX_IDR_LEVEL - 1, which is one depth shallower than necessary to
cover the whole range. The function doesn't even notice that it
didn't grow the tree enough and ends up allocating the wrong ID
given sufficiently high @starting_id.
For example, on 64 bit, if the starting id is 0x7fffff01,
idr_get_empty_slot() will grow the tree 5 layer deep, which only
covers the 30 bits and then proceed to allocate as if the bit 30
wasn't specified. It ends up allocating 0x3fffff01 without the bit
30 but still returns 0x7fffff01.
* __idr_remove_all() will not remove anything if the tree is fully
grown.
* idr_find() can't find anything if the tree is fully grown.
* idr_for_each() and idr_get_next() can't iterate anything if the tree
is fully grown.
Fix it by introducing idr_max() which returns the maximum possible ID
given the depth of tree and replacing the id limit checks in all
affected places.
As the idr_layer pointer array pa[] needs to be 1 larger than the
maximum depth, enlarge pa[] arrays by one.
While this plugs the discovered issues, the whole code base is
horrible and in desparate need of rewrite. It's fragile like hell,
