* kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphensJames Hogan2018-03-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file. Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the following: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file name to underscores when constructing the labels. As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y, or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a separate issue).

* fixdep: do not ignore kconfig.hRasmus Villemoes2018-03-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kconfig.h was excluded from consideration by fixdep by 6a5be57f0f00 (fixdep: fix extraneous dependencies) to avoid some false positive hits (1) include/config/.h (2) include/config/h.h (3) include/config/foo.h (1) occurred because kconfig.h contains the string CONFIG_ in a comment. However, since dee81e988674 (fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search), we have a check that the part after CONFIG_ is non-empty, so this does not happen anymore (and CONFIG_ appears by itself elsewhere, so that check is worthwhile). (2) comes from the include guard, __LINUX_KCONFIG_H. But with the previous patch, we no longer match that either. That leaves (3), which amounts to one [1] false dependency (aka stat() call done by make), which I think we can live with: We've already had one case [2] where the lack of include/linux/kconfig.h in the .o.cmd file caused a missing rebuild, and while I originally thought we should just put kconfig.h in the dependency list without parsing it for the CONFIG_ pattern, we actually do have some real CONFIG_ symbols mentioned in it, and one can imagine some translation unit that just does '#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN' but doesn't through some other header actually depend on CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN - so changing the target endianness could end up rebuilding the world, minus that small TU. Quoting Linus, ... when missing dependencies cause a missed re-compile, the resulting bugs can be _really_ subtle. [1] well, two, we now also have CONFIG_BOOGER/booger.h - we could change that to FOO if we care [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/22/838 Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
* fixdep: remove some false CONFIG_ matchesRasmus Villemoes2018-03-051-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | The string CONFIG_ quite often appears after other alphanumerics, meaning that that instance cannot be referencing a Kconfig symbol. Omitting these means make has fewer files to stat() when deciding what needs to be rebuilt - for a defconfig build, this seems to remove about 2% of the (wildcard ...) lines from the .o.cmd files.

* fixdep: remove stale references to uml-config.hRasmus Villemoes2018-03-051-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | uml-config.h hasn't existed in this decade (87e299e5c750 - x86, um: get rid of uml-config.h). The few remaining UML_CONFIG instances are defined directly in terms of their real CONFIG symbol in common-offsets.h, so unlike when the symbols got defined via a sed script, anything that uses UML_CONFIG_FOO now should also automatically pick up a dependency on CONFIG_FOO via the normal fixdep mechanism (since common-offsets.h should at least recursively be a dependency). Hence I believe we should actually be able to ignore the HELLO_CONFIG_BOOM cases.

This might be different from what has been actually used. For example, on my machine, the third one "/boot/config-$UNAME_RELEASE" is opened, like follows: $ rm .config $ make oldconfig 2>/dev/null scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig # # using defaults found in /boot/config-4.4.0-112-generic # * * Restart config... * * * IRQ subsystem * Expose irq internals in debugfs (GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS) [N/y/?] (NEW) However, the resulted .config file contains the first one since it is visible: $ grep CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST .config CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config" In order to stop confusing people, prevent this CONFIG option from being written to the .config file.

An earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1. All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around 50 warnings on gcc-7. I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN). With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a "noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation. That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme cases. This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig build: 3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN") 16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN") Do we really need to backport this? I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8. Most people are probably still on older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their distros. The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0. I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are already there). Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should be.

While we can update our code to conform the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in the whole kernel. And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel. So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in future. So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

These redzones are 32-byte aligned and at least 32 bytes long. __asan_alloca_poison() is passed the size and address of the allocated buffer, *excluding* the redzones on either side. The left redzone will always be to the immediate left of this buffer; but AddressSanitizer may need to add padding between the end of the buffer and the right redzone. If there are any 8-byte chunks inside this padding, we should poison those too. __asan_allocas_unpoison() is just passed the top and bottom of the dynamic stack area, so unpoisoning is simpler.

KASAN uses some macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate on poisoned slab object metadata. The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset() implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN reports during early boot stages. The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE := n marker.

The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next, and I did not receive any problem report about this. Summary: - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice, help is doubled - document data structure and complex code - fix various memory leaks - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using pre-generated C files - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool' - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables - fix gettext() check for xconfig - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed - make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search result - hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people - fix misc things and cleanups" * tag 'kconfig-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (37 commits) kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable kconfig: announce removal of oldnoconfig if used kconfig: fix make xconfig when gettext is missing kconfig: Clarify menu and 'if' dependency propagation kconfig: Document 'if' flattening logic kconfig: Clarify choice dependency propagation kconfig: Document SYMBOL_OPTIONAL logic kbuild: remove unnecessary LEX_PREFIX and YACC_PREFIX kconfig: use default 'yy' prefix for lexer and parser kconfig: make conf_unsaved a local variable of conf_read() kconfig: make xfgets() really static kconfig: make input_mode static kconfig: Warn if there is more than one help text kconfig: drop 'boolean' keyword kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes, again kconfig: Remove menu_end_entry() kconfig: Document important expression functions kconfig: Document automatic submenu creation code kconfig: Fix choice symbol expression leak ...
