test_printf: test printf family at runtime

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities. Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf(). This should help catch such issues. Also, it should help ensure that changes to the formatting algorithms don't break anything. I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting. The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional table-driven approach. For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime values etc. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Cc: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Martin Kletzander Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y

2015-10-23T08:55:10Z

When the kernel compiled with KASAN=y, GCC adds redzones for each variable on stack. This enlarges function's stack frame and causes: 'warning: the frame size of X bytes is larger than Y bytes' The worst case I've seen for now is following: ../net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function `nl80211_send_wiphy': ../net/wireless/nl80211.c:1731:1: warning: the frame size of 5448 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] That kind of warning becomes useless with KASAN=y. It doesn't necessarily indicate that there is some problem in the code, thus we should turn it off. (The KASAN=y stack size in increased from 16k to 32k for this reason) Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Acked-by: Abylay Ospan Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Cc: Kozlov Sergey Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

modpost: Add flag -E for making section mismatches fatal

2015-10-06T00:16:21Z

The section mismatch warning can be easy to miss during the kernel build process. Allow it to be marked as fatal to be easily caught and prevent bugs from slipping in. Setting CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y causes these warnings to be non-fatal, since there are a number of section mismatches when using allmodconfig on some architectures, and we do not want to break these builds by default.

2015-09-03T22:46:07Z

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar: "Main changes in this cycle are: - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs (atomic_{set,clear}_mask()) The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra) - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics': - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return() - atomic_read_acquire() - atomic_set_release() This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon) - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs, by introducing a new one: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name); DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name); which define a key of different types with an initial true/false value. Then allow: static_branch_likely() static_branch_unlikely() to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra) - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron) - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long) - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso) - ... and misc other changes" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (63 commits) jump_label/x86: Work around asm build bug on older/backported GCCs locking, ARM, atomics: Define our SMP atomics in terms of _relaxed() operations locking, include/llist: Use linux/atomic.h instead of asm/cmpxchg.h locking/qrwlock: Make use of _{acquire|release|relaxed}() atomics locking/qrwlock: Implement queue_write_unlock() using smp_store_release() locking/lockref: Remove homebrew cmpxchg64_relaxed() macro definition locking, asm-generic: Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t' locking, asm-generic: Rework atomic-long.h to avoid bulk code duplication locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic operations locking, compiler.h: Cast away attributes in the WRITE_ONCE() magic locking/static_keys: Make verify_keys() static jump label, locking/static_keys: Update docs locking/static_keys: Provide a selftest jump_label: Provide a self-test s390/uaccess, locking/static_keys: employ static_branch_likely() x86, tsc, locking/static_keys: Employ static_branch_likely() locking/static_keys: Add selftest locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface locking/static_keys: Rework update logic locking/static_keys: Add static_key_{en,dis}able() helpers ...

The 'jump label' self-test is in reality testing static keys - rename things accordingly. Also prettify the code in various places while at it.
