2018-02-25scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -noneWill Deacon
[ Upstream commit e814bccbafece52a24e152d2395b5d49eef55841 ] My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a badly formatted comment immediately before the #define: /** * struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for * bus layer usage. */ which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build to fail. Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with -none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any issues.

2018-02-13module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in moduleAndi Kleen
(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8) There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

2018-01-17objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modulesJosh Poimboeuf
commit e390f9a9689a42f477a6073e2e7df530a4c1b740 upstream. The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they should also be discarded for modules. Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with ".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards such sections. Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

2017-12-14coccinelle: fix parallel build with CHECK=scripts/coccicheckMasahiro Yamada
[ Upstream commit d7059ca0147adcd495f3c5b41f260e1ac55bb679 ] The command "make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" produces lots of "coccicheck failed" error messages. Julia Lawall explained the Coccinelle behavior as follows: "The problem on the Coccinelle side is that it uses a subdirectory with the name of the semantic patch to store standard output and standard error for the different threads. I didn't want to use a name with the pid, so that one could easily find this information while Coccinelle is running. Normally the subdirectory is cleaned up when Coccinelle completes, so there is only one of them at a time. Maybe it is best to just add the pid. There is the risk that these subdirectories will accumulate if Coccinelle crashes in a way such that they don't get cleaned up, but Coccinelle could print a warning if it detects this case, rather than failing." When scripts/coccicheck is used as CHECK tool and -j option is given to Make, the whole of build process runs in parallel. So, multiple processes try to get access to the same subdirectory. I notice spatch creates the subdirectory only when it runs in parallel (i.e. --jobs <N> is given and <N> is greater than 1). Setting NPROC=1 is a reasonable solution; spatch does not create the subdirectory. Besides, ONLINE=1 mode takes a single file input for each spatch invocation, so there is no reason to parallelize it in the first place.

2017-12-14kbuild: pkg: use --transform option to prefix paths in tarMasahiro Yamada
[ Upstream commit 2dbc644ac62bbcb9ee78e84719953f611be0413d ] For rpm-pkg and deb-pkg, a source tar file is created. All paths in the archive must be prefixed with the base name of the tar so that everything is contained in the directory when you extract it. Currently, scripts/package/Makefile uses a symlink for that, and removes it after the tar is created. If you terminate the build during the tar creation, the symlink is left over. Then, at the next package build, you will see a warning like follows: ln: '.' and 'kernel-4.14.0+/.' are the same file It is possible to fix it by adding -n (--no-dereference) option to the "ln" command, but a cleaner way is to use --transform option of "tar" command. This option is GNU extension, but it should not hurt to use it in the Linux build system. The 'S' flag is needed to exclude symlinks from the path fixup. Without it, symlinks in the kernel are broken.

2017-12-14module: set __jump_table alignment to 8David Daney
[ Upstream commit ab42632156becd35d3884ee5c14da2bedbf3149a ] For powerpc the __jump_table section in modules is not aligned, this causes a WARN_ON() splat when loading a module containing a __jump_table. Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35b58d ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to __jump_table elements. Fix by forcing __jump_table to 8, which is the same alignment used for this section in the kernel proper.

commit 79e51b5c2deea542b3bb8c66e0d502230b017dde upstream. Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters. dialog_inputbox() calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails as this is invalid. It also doesn't check for this failure, so it busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1. The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended size of the window. Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to show_scroll_win().

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"

2016-11-11Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"Arnd Bergmann
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.

2016-11-09kbuild: be more careful about matching preprocessed asm ___EXPORT_SYMBOLNicholas Piggin
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.

2016-10-11checkpatch: improve the octal permissions testsJoe Perches
The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines. The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches. 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: .mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b51bab60530912aae4ac420119d465c5b206f19f.1475030406.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: Ramiro Oliveira <roliveir@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-10-10gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy pluginEmese Revfy
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.

2016-10-07nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpusChris Metcalf
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.
