gcov: add support for GCC 10.1

2020-09-11T16:33:54Z

Using gcov to collect coverage data for kernels compiled with GCC 10.1 causes random malfunctions and kernel crashes. This is the result of a changed GCOV_COUNTERS value in GCC 10.1 that causes a mismatch between the layout of the gcov_info structure created by GCC profiling code and the related structure used by the kernel. Fix this by updating the in-kernel GCOV_COUNTERS value. Also re-enable config GCOV_KERNEL for use with GCC 10.

gcov: Disable gcov build with GCC 10

2020-09-04T16:19:49Z

GCOV built with GCC 10 doesn't initialize n_function variable. This produces different kernel panics as was seen by Colin in Ubuntu and me in FC 32. As a workaround, let's disable GCOV build for broken GCC 10 version.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

gcov: Remove old GCC 3.4 support

2020-04-16T11:28:35Z

The kernel requires at least GCC 4.8 in order to build, and so there is no need to cater for the pre-4.7 gcov format. Remove the obsolete code. Acked-by: Peter Oberparleiter Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

kernel/gcov/fs.c: replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-04-07T17:43:44Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Revert "um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"

2020-01-19T21:42:06Z

This reverts commit 786b2384bf1c ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"). There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests on some (Debian) systems: 1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or if I never tested this case. 2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case. Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace fork test already failed: ---------------------- $ ./linux mem=512M Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f Aborted ---------------------- Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan) involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors. Thus, revert this commit.

um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS

2019-09-15T19:37:13Z

We do need to call the constructors for *modules*, and at least for KASAN in the future, we must call even the kernel constructors only later when the kernel has been initialized. Instead of relying on libc to call them, emit an empty section for libc and let the kernel's CONSTRUCTORS code do the rest of the job. Tested that it indeed doesn't work in modules, and does work after the fixes in both, with a few functions with __attribute__((constructor)) in both dynamic and static builds.
