Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups.

A Reed-Solomon code with minimum distance d can correct any error and erasure pattern that satisfies 2 * #error + #erasures < d. If the error correction capacity is exceeded, then correct decoding cannot be guaranteed. The decoder must, however, return a valid codeword or report failure. There are two main tests: - Check for correct behaviour up to the error correction capacity - Check for correct behaviour beyond error corrupted capacity Both tests are simple: 1. Generate random data 2. Encode data with the chosen code 3. Add errors and erasures to data 4. Decode the corrupted word 5. Check for correct behaviour When testing up to capacity we test for: - Correct decoding - Correct return value (i.e. the number of corrected symbols) - That the returned error positions are correct There are two kinds of erasures; the erased symbol can be corrupted or not. When counting the number of corrected symbols, erasures without symbol corruption should not be counted. Similarly, the returned error positions should only include positions where a correction is necessary. We run the up to capacity tests for three different interfaces of decode_rs: - Use the correction buffers - Use the correction buffers with syndromes provided by the caller - Error correction in place (does not check the error positions) When testing beyond capacity test for silent failures. A silent failure is when the decoder returns success but the returned word is not a valid codeword. There are a couple of options for the tests: - Verbosity. - Whether to test for correct behaviour beyond capacity. Default is to test beyond capacity. - Whether to allow erasures without symbol corruption. Defaults to yes. Note that the tests take a couple of minutes to complete. Signed-off-by:

The owner field in the rw_semaphore structure is used primarily for optimistic spinning. However, identifying the rwsem owner can also be helpful in debugging as well as tracing locking related issues when analyzing crash dump. The owner field may also store state information that can be important to the operation of the rwsem. So the owner field is now made a permanent member of the rw_semaphore structure irrespective of CONFIG_RWSEM_SPIN_ON_OWNER. Signed-off-by:

In Linux build system, build targets and installation targets are separated. Examples are: - 'make vmlinux' -> 'make install' - 'make modules' -> 'make modules_install' - 'make dtbs' -> 'make dtbs_install' - 'make vdso' -> 'make vdso_install' The intention is to run the build targets under the normal privilege, then the installation targets under the root privilege since we need the write permission to the system directories. We have 'make headers_install' but the corresponding 'make headers' stage does not exist. The purpose of headers_install is to provide the kernel interface to C library. So, nobody would try to install headers to /usr/include directly. If 'sudo make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include headers_install' were run, some build artifacts in the kernel tree would be owned by root because some of uapi headers are generated by 'uapi-asm-generic', 'archheaders' targets. Anyway, I believe it makes sense to split the header installation into two stages. [1] 'make headers' Process headers in uapi directories by scripts/headers_install.sh and copy them to usr/include [2] 'make headers_install' Copy '*.h' verbatim from usr/include to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH)/include For the backward compatibility, 'headers_install' depends on 'headers'. Some samples expect uapi headers in usr/include. So, the 'headers' target is useful to build up them in the fixed location usr/include irrespective of INSTALL_HDR_PATH. Another benefit is to stop polluting the final destination with the time-stamp files '.install' and '.check'. Maybe you can see them in your toolchains. Lastly, my main motivation is to prepare for compile-testing uapi headers. To build something, we have to save an object and .*.cmd somewhere. The usr/include/ will be the work directory for that.

Commit 5318321d ("samples: disable CONFIG_SAMPLES for UML") used a big hammer to fix the build errors under the samples/ directory. Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include. Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers are installed before starting directory descending. I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options. This allows UML to compile some samples. $ make ARCH=um allmodconfig samples/ [ snip ] CC [M] samples/configfs/configfs_sample.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/bytestream-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/dma-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/inttype-example.o CC [M] samples/kfifo/record-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kobject-example.o CC [M] samples/kobject/kset-example.o CC [M] samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.o CC [M] samples/trace_printk/trace-printk.o AR samples/vfio-mdev/built-in.a AR samples/built-in.a Signed-off-by:

It turned out that DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is still broken even after recent recue efforts that when there is a large number of objects like kmemleak_object which is normal on a debug kernel, # grep kmemleak /proc/slabinfo kmemleak_object 2243606 3436210 ... reading /proc/slab_allocators could easily loop forever while processing the kmemleak_object cache and any additional freeing or allocating objects will trigger a reprocessing. To make a situation worse, soft-lockups could easily happen in this sitatuion which will call printk() to allocate more kmemleak objects to guarantee an infinite loop. Also, since it seems no one had noticed when it was totally broken more than 2-year ago - see the commit fcf88917 ("slab: fix a crash by reading /proc/slab_allocators"), probably nobody cares about it anymore due to the decline of the SLAB. Just remove it entirely. Suggested-by:

Commit 60a3cdd0 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86. The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures can benefit from it. This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled. For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1. dec file 18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before 18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as e61aca51 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested; this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm. The intent is to record compact type information of all types used inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g., struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed. This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction, making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in non-loadable ELF section. BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is typically about 2MB in size.

This adds a new kernel module for analysis of vmalloc allocator. It is only enabled as a module. There are two main reasons this module should be used for: performance evaluation and stressing of vmalloc subsystem. It consists of several test cases. As of now there are 8. The module has five parameters we can specify to change its the behaviour. 1) run_test_mask - set of tests to be run id: 1, name: fix_size_alloc_test id: 2, name: full_fit_alloc_test id: 4, name: long_busy_list_alloc_test id: 8, name: random_size_alloc_test id: 16, name: fix_align_alloc_test id: 32, name: random_size_align_alloc_test id: 64, name: align_shift_alloc_test id: 128, name: pcpu_alloc_test By default all tests are in run test mask. If you want to select some specific tests it is possible to pass the mask. For example for first, second and fourth tests we go 11 value. 2) test_repeat_count - how many times each test should be repeated By default it is one time per test. It is possible to pass any number. As high the value is the test duration gets increased. 3) test_loop_count - internal test loop counter. By default it is set to 1000000. 4) single_cpu_test - use one CPU to run the tests By default this parameter is set to false. It means that all online CPUs execute tests. By setting it to 1, the tests are executed by first online CPU only. 5) sequential_test_order - run tests in sequential order By default this parameter is set to false. It means that before running tests the order is shuffled. It is possible to make it sequential, just set it to 1. Performance analysis: In order to evaluate performance of vmalloc allocations, usually it makes sense to use only one CPU that runs tests, use sequential order, number of repeat tests can be different as well as set of test mask. For example if we want to run all tests, to use one CPU and repeat each test 3 times. Insert the module passing following parameters: single_cpu_test=1 sequential_test_order=1 test_repeat_count=3 with following output: <snip> Summary: fix_size_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 901177 usec Summary: full_fit_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 1039341 usec Summary: long_busy_list_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 11775763 usec Summary: random_size_alloc_test passed 3: failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 6081992 usec Summary: fix_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3, loops: 1000000 avg: 2003712 usec Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 2895689 usec Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 3 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 573 usec Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 95802 usec All test took CPU0=192945605995 cycles <snip> The align_shift_alloc_test is expected to be failed. Stressing: In order to stress the vmalloc subsystem we run all available test cases on all available CPUs simultaneously. In order to prevent constant behaviour pattern, the test cases array is shuffled by default to randomize the order of test execution. For example if we want to run all tests(default), use all online CPUs(default) with shuffled order(default) and to repeat each test 30 times. The command would be like: modprobe vmalloc_test test_repeat_count=30 Expected results are the system is alive, there are no any BUG_ONs or Kernel Panics the tests are completed, no memory leaks.

Use after scope bugs detector seems to be almost entirely useless for the linux kernel. It exists over two years, but I've seen only one valid bug so far [1]. And the bug was fixed before it has been reported. There were some other use-after-scope reports, but they were false-positives due to different reasons like incompatibility with structleak plugin. This feature significantly increases stack usage, especially with GCC < 9 version, and causes a 32K stack overflow. It probably adds performance penalty too. Given all that, let's remove use-after-scope detector entirely. While preparing this patch I've noticed that we mistakenly enable use-after-scope detection for clang compiler regardless of CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA setting. This is also fixed now.

This test lets us visualize which options cover which cases, and provide tests for some of the pathological padding conditions the compiler will sometimes fail to initialize. All options pass the explicit initialization cases and the partial initializers (even with padding): test_stackinit: u8_zero ok test_stackinit: u16_zero ok test_stackinit: u32_zero ok test_stackinit: u64_zero ok test_stackinit: char_array_zero ok test_stackinit: small_hole_zero ok test_stackinit: big_hole_zero ok test_stackinit: trailing_hole_zero ok test_stackinit: packed_zero ok test_stackinit: small_hole_dynamic_partial ok test_stackinit: big_hole_dynamic_partial ok test_stackinit: trailing_hole_dynamic_partial ok test_stackinit: packed_dynamic_partial ok test_stackinit: small_hole_static_partial ok test_stackinit: big_hole_static_partial ok test_stackinit: trailing_hole_static_partial ok test_stackinit: packed_static_partial ok test_stackinit: packed_static_all ok test_stackinit: packed_dynamic_all ok test_stackinit: packed_runtime_all ok The results of the other tests (which contain no explicit initialization), change based on the build's configured compiler instrumentation.

The Kconfig lexer supports special characters such as '.' and '/' in the parameter context. In my understanding, the reason is just to support bare file paths in the source statement. I do not see a good reason to complicate Kconfig for the room of ambiguity. The majority of code already surrounds file paths with double quotes, and it makes sense since file paths are constant string literals. Make it treewide consistent now. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes we want to print a series of printk() messages to consoles without being disturbed by concurrent printk() from interrupts and/or other threads. But we can't enforce printk() callers to use their local buffers because we need to ask them to make too much changes. Also, even buffering up to one line inside printk() might cause failing to emit an important clue under critical situation. Therefore, instead of trying to help buffering, let's try to help reconstructing messages by saving caller information as of calling log_store() and adding it as "[T$thread_id]" or "[C$processor_id]" upon printing to consoles. Some examples for console output: [ 1.222773][ T1] x86: Booting SMP configuration: [ 2.779635][ T1] pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] [ 5.069193][ T268] Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 [ 9.316504][ C2] random: fast init done [ 13.413336][ T3355] Initialized host personality Some examples for /dev/kmsg output: 6,496,1222773,-,caller=T1;x86: Booting SMP configuration: 6,968,2779635,-,caller=T1;pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] SUBSYSTEM=pci DEVICE=+pci:0000:00:01.0 6,1353,5069193,-,caller=T268;Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 5,1526,9316504,-,caller=C2;random: fast init done 6,1575,13413336,-,caller=T3355;Initialized host personality Note that this patch changes max length of messages which can be printed by printk() or written to /dev/kmsg interface from 992 bytes to 976 bytes, based on an assumption that userspace won't try to write messages hitting that border line to /dev/kmsg interface.

The xa_load function brings with it a lot of infrastructure; xa_empty(), xa_is_err(), and large chunks of the XArray advanced API that are used to implement xa_load. As the test-suite demonstrates, it is possible to use the XArray functions on a radix tree. The radix tree functions depend on the GFP flags being stored in the root of the tree, so it's not possible to use the radix tree functions on an XArray. Signed-off-by:

This adds a helper to paste 2 pointer arrays together, useful for merging various types of attribute arrays. There are a few places in the kernel tree where this is open coded, and I just added one more in the STM class. The naming is inspired by memset_p() and memcat(), and partial credit for it goes to Andy Shevchenko. This patch adds the function wrapped in a type-enforcing macro and a test module. Signed-off-by:

While in theory multiple unwinders could be compiled in, it does not make sense in practise. Use a choice to make the unwinder selection mutually exclusive and mandatory. Already before this commit it has not been possible to deselect FRAME_POINTER. Remove the obsolete comment. Furthermore, to produce a meaningful backtrace with FRAME_POINTER enabled the kernel needs a specific function prologue: mov ip, sp stmfd sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc} sub fp, ip, #4 To get to the required prologue gcc uses apcs and no-sched-prolog. This compiler options are not available on clang, and clang is not able to generate the required prologue. Make the FRAME_POINTER config symbol depending on !clang. Suggested-by:

We haven't had lots of deprecation warnings lately, but the rdma use of it made them flare up again. They are not useful. They annoy everybody, and nobody ever does anything about them, because it's always "somebody elses problem". And when people start thinking that warnings are normal, they stop looking at them, and the real warnings that mean something go unnoticed. If you want to get rid of a function, just get rid of it. Convert every user to the new world order. And if you can't do that, then don't annoy everybody else with your marking that says "I couldn't be bothered to fix this, so I'll just spam everybody elses build logs with warnings about my laziness". Make a kernelnewbies wiki page about things that could be cleaned up, write a blog post about it, or talk to people on the mailing lists. But don't add warnings to the kernel build about cleanup that you think should happen but you aren't doing yourself. Don't. Just don't. Signed-off-by:
