kernel/param: consolidate {start,stop}_param[] in

2014-10-14T00:18:28Z

Consolidate the various external const and non-const declarations of __start___param[] and __stop___param in . This requires making a few struct kernel_param pointers in kernel/params.c const.

moduleparam: Resolve missing-field-initializer warning

2014-09-11T00:29:25Z

Resolve a missing-field-initializer warning, that is produced by every reference to module_param_call, by using designated initialization for the first field. That is enough to silence the complaint. The message is only seen when doing a W=2 build. I happened to be using gcc 4.8.3, but I think most versions would produce the warning when it is enabled. It can either be silenced by using even a single designated initializer as I did here, or providing values for all of the fields. Because of the number of references to the macro, this change silences many warnings in W=2 builds. One instance of the full warning message looks like this: /home/share/git/nn-mdr/include/linux/moduleparam.h:198:16: warning: missing initializer for field ‘free’ of ‘struct kernel_param_ops’ [-Wmissing-field-initializers] static struct kernel_param_ops __param_ops_##name = \ ^ /home/share/git/nn-mdr/fs/fuse/inode.c:35:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘module_param_call’ module_param_call(max_user_bgreq, set_global_limit, param_get_uint, ^ /home/share/git/nn-mdr/include/linux/moduleparam.h:56:9: note: ‘free’ declared here void (*free)(void *arg); Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

param: check for tainting before calling set op.

2014-08-27T12:24:10Z

This means every set op doesn't need to call it, and it can move into params.c. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: add module_param_unsafe and module_param_named_unsafe

2014-08-27T12:24:08Z

Add the helpers to be used by modules wishing to expose unsafe debugging or testing module parameters that taint the kernel when set. Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Jean Delvare Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Li Zhong Cc: Jon Mason Cc: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: make it possible to have unsafe, tainting module params

2014-08-27T12:24:08Z

Add flags field to struct kernel_params, and add the first flag: unsafe parameter. Modifying a kernel parameter with the unsafe flag set, either via the kernel command line or sysfs, will issue a warning and taint the kernel.

module: rename KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG to avoid confusion

2014-08-27T12:24:07Z

Make it clear this is about kernel_param_ops, not kernel_param (which will soon have a flags field of its own). No functional changes. Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Jean Delvare Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Li Zhong Cc: Jon Mason Cc: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Add module param type 'ullong'

Some driver might want to pass in an 64-bit value, so introduce a module param type 'ullong'. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ewan Milne Acked-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

param: hand arguments after -- straight to init

2014-04-28T02:18:34Z

The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module). This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments are for init. For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog" meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided. eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"' Gives: argv[0] = '/debug-init' argv[1] = 'test' argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true' envp[0] = 'HOME=/' envp[1] = 'TERM=linux' envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo' Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms.

2014-03-24T01:51:00Z

Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 : Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444) Joe: 0444! Rusty: User perms >= group perms >= other perms? Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2? Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary S_IFREG from several callers. Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) & 2) test was removed: a fair number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a future patch.

module: LLVMLinux: Remove unused function warning from __param_check macro

2014-03-17T04:24:50Z

This code makes a compile time type check that is optimized away. Clang complains that it generates an unused function: linux/kernel/panic.c:471:1: warning: unused function '__check_panic' [-Wunused-function] core_param(panic, panic_timeout, int, 0644); ^ linux/moduleparam.h:283:2: note: expanded from macro 'core_param' param_check_##type(name, &(var)); \ ^ :87:1: note: expanded from here param_check_int ^ linux/moduleparam.h:369:34: note: expanded from macro 'param_check_int' #define param_check_int(name, p) __param_check(name, p, int) ^ linux/moduleparam.h:349:22: note: expanded from macro '__param_check' static inline type *__check_##name(void) { return(p); } ^ :88:1: note: expanded from here __check_panic GCC won't complain for a static inline function but would if it was just a static function. Adding the unused attribute to the function declaration removes the warning. Per request from Rusty Russell it is marked as __always_unused as the code is meant to be optimized away.
