configs/debug: restore DEBUG_INFO=y for overriding

2022-03-17T18:02:13Z

Previously, I failed to realize that Kees' patch [1] has not been merged into the mainline yet, and dropped DEBUG_INFO=y too eagerly from the mainline. As the results, "make debug.config" won't be able to flip DEBUG_INFO=n from the existing .config. This should close the gaps of a few weeks before Kees' patch is there, and work regardless of their merging status anyway.

configs/debug: set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y properly

2022-03-05T19:08:33Z

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO can't be set by user directly, so set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y instead. Otherwise, we end up with no debuginfo in vmlinux which is a big no-no for kernel debugging.

configs: introduce debug.config for CI-like setup

2022-01-20T06:52:55Z

Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc help fix many viruses like a microscope. On the other hand, those features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging options making them difficult to consume properly. This cold help amplify the general debugging/testing efforts and help establish sensitive default values for those options across the broad. This could also help different distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored kernels. The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms. It can be used for example, $ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create a separate one for KCSAN later as well.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good

2021-05-07T07:26:34Z

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

kconfig: do not use allnoconfig_y option

2021-04-14T06:22:49Z

allnoconfig_y is an ugly hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig. allnoconfig does not mean a minimal set of CONFIG options because a bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do not like to hack Kconfig this way. Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced when allnoconfig is invoked as a part of tinyconfig. No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'. The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

Input: gtco - remove driver

2020-12-10T01:47:36Z

The driver has its own HID descriptor parsing code, that had and still has several issues discovered by syzbot and other tools. Ideally we should move the driver over to the HID subsystem, so that it uses proven parsing code. However the devices in question are EOL, and GTCO is not willing to extend resources for that, so let's simply remove the driver. Note that our HID support has greatly improved over the last 10 years, we may also consider reverting 6f8d9e26e7de ("hid-core.c: Adds all GTCO CalComp Digitizers and InterWrite School Products to blacklist") and see if GTCO devices actually work with normal HID drivers.

kconfig: tinyconfig: remove stale stack protector fixups

2018-06-14T22:15:28Z

Prior to commit 2a61f4747eea ("stack-protector: test compiler capability in Kconfig and drop AUTO mode"), the stack protector was configured by the choice of NONE, REGULAR, STRONG, AUTO. tiny.config needed to explicitly set NONE because the default value of choice, AUTO, did not produce the tiniest kernel. Now that there are only two boolean symbols, STACKPROTECTOR and STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG, they are naturally disabled by "make allnoconfig", which "make tinyconfig" is based on. Remove unnecessary lines from the tiny.config fragment file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
