config: Adding the new config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL for sparc

2016-11-18T19:33:19Z

This new config parameter limits the space used for "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" by about 4MB. The current sparc systems have the limitation of 32MB size for kernel size including .text, .data and .bss sections. With PROVE_LOCKING feature, the kernel size could grow beyond this limit and causing system boot-up issues. With this option, kernel limits the size of the entries of lock_chains, stack_trace etc., so that kernel fits in required size limit. This is not visible to user and only used for sparc.

latent_entropy: raise CONFIG_FRAME_WARN by default

2016-10-28T01:43:43Z

When building with the latent_entropy plugin, set the default CONFIG_FRAME_WARN to 2048, since some __init functions have many basic blocks that, when instrumented by the latent_entropy plugin, grow beyond 1024 byte stack size on 32-bit builds.

samples: move blackfin gptimers-example from Documentation

2016-10-10T13:12:02Z

Move blackfin gptimers-example to samples and remove it from Documentation Makefile. Update samples Kconfig and Makefile to build gptimers-example. blackfin is the last CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC target in Documentation/Makefile. Hence this patch also includes changes to remove CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC from Makefile and lib/Kconfig.debug and updates VIDEO_PCI_SKELETON dependency on BUILD_DOCSRC. Documentation/Makefile is not deleted to avoid braking make htmldocs and make distclean.

mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2016-08-30T17:10:21Z

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for gcc 4.6 and newer: 1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to be working fine here. Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be changed to *always* be an error, regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS. 2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning This is another static warning which happens when I enable __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead code and the warning attribute is activated.) So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern, maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug". I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high. 3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size > object size. All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled for gcc 4.6 with the following commit: 2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact, __compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in gcc 4.6.) So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit. Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time, upgrade it to always be an error. Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer needed.

kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation

2016-08-02T23:35:43Z

For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis. This follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov driver without instrumenting the whole kernel. To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either # for a single file in the current directory KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y or # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories) KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y or # (same as above) ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) or # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories) subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464008380-11405-1-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum Cc: Dmitry Vyukov Cc: Quentin Casasnovas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
