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.

Adds test for stack initialization coverage. We have several build options that control the level of stack variable initialization.

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:

It seems contributors follow the style of Kconfig entries where explicit 'default n' is present. The default 'default' is 'n' already, thus, drop these lines from Kconfig to make it more clear. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180719085131.79541-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Signed-off-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:

Move the source of lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig.debug to the top-level Kconfig. For two architectures that means moving their arch-specific symbols in that menu into a new arch Kconfig.debug file, and for a few more creating a dummy file so that we can include it unconditionally. Also move the actual 'Kernel hacking' menu to lib/Kconfig.debug, where it belongs. Signed-off-by:

Add tests for the bitfield helpers. The constant ones will all be folded to nothing by the compiler (if everything is correct in the header file), and the variable ones do some tests against open-coding the necessary shifts. A few test cases that should fail/warn compilation are provided under ifdef. Suggested-by:

The goal of passing the "quiet" option to the kernel is for the kernel to be quiet unless something really is wrong. Sofar passing quiet has been (mostly) equivalent to passing loglevel=4 on the kernel commandline. Which means to show any messages with a level of KERN_ERR or higher severity on the console. In practice this often does not result in a quiet boot though, since there are many false-positive or otherwise harmless error messages printed, defeating the purpose of the quiet option. Esp. the ACPICA code is really bad wrt this, but there are plenty of others too. This commit makes CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET configurable. This for example will allow distros which want quiet to really mean quiet to set CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET so that only messages with a higher severity then KERN_ERR (CRIT, ALERT, EMERG) get printed, avoiding an endless game of whack-a-mole silencing harmless error messages.

As Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt notes, 'select' should be be used with care - it forces a lower limit of another symbol, ignoring the dependency. Currently, KCOV can select GCC_PLUGINS even if arch does not select HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS. This could cause the unmet direct dependency. Now that Kconfig can test compiler capability, let's handle this in a more sophisticated way. There are two ways to enable KCOV; use the compiler that natively supports -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, or build the SANCOV plugin if the compiler has ability to build GCC plugins. Hence, the correct dependency for KCOV is: depends on CC_HAS_SANCOV_TRACE_PC || GCC_PLUGINS You do not need to build the SANCOV plugin if the compiler already supports -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc. Hence, the select should be: select GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV if !CC_HAS_SANCOV_TRACE_PC With this, GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV is selected only when necessary, so scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins can be cleaner. I also cleaned up Kconfig and scripts/Makefile.kcov as well. Signed-off-by:

Drivers/subsystems creating scatterlists for DMA should be taking care to respect the scatter-gather limitations of the appropriate device, as described by dma_parms. A DMA API implementation cannot feasibly split a scatterlist into *more* entries than originally passed, so it is not well defined what they should do when given a segment larger than the limit they are also required to respect. Conversely, devices which are less limited than the rather conservative defaults, or indeed have no limitations at all (e.g. GPUs with their own internal MMU), should be encouraged to set appropriate dma_parms, as they may get more efficient DMA mapping performance out of it.

Two config options in the lock debugging menu that are probably the most frequently used, as far as I am concerned, is the PROVE_LOCKING and LOCK_STAT. From a UI perspective, they should be front and center. So these two options are now moved to the top of the lock debugging menu. The DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH option is also added to the PROVE_LOCKING umbrella. Signed-off-by:

There are a couples of lock debugging Kconfig options that depends on the following support options: - TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT - STACKTRACE_SUPPORT - LOCKDEP_SUPPORT That makes those lock debugging options harder to read and understand. So a new LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT option is added that is equivalent to the above three options together. That makes the Kconfig.debug file more readable. Signed-off-by:

For a rwsem, locking can either be exclusive or shared. The corresponding exclusive or shared unlock must be used. Otherwise, the protected data structures may get corrupted or the lock may be in an inconsistent state. In order to detect such anomaly, a new configuration option DEBUG_RWSEMS is added which can be enabled to look for such mismatches and print warnings that that happens. Signed-off-by:
