2014-08-07checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" testJoe Perches1-3/+3
This --strict test previously worked only for what appeared to be cast to pointer types. Make it work for all casts. Also, there's no reason to show the previous line for this type of message, so don't.

2014-08-07checkpatch: attempt to find unnecessary 'out of memory' messagesJoe Perches1-0/+17
Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump done by the memory subsystem. These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value. Emit a warning on these types of messages. This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo = kmalloc()" ie: this code matches: foo = kmalloc(); if (foo == NULL) { printk("Out of memory\n"); return -ENOMEM; } This test is very crude and incomplete. This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this specific form. ie: this code does not match: foo = kmalloc(); if (!foo) { rtn = -ENOMEM; printk("Out of memory!\n"); goto out; } This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false positives in my limited testing. spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for that tool too.

git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm into driver-core-next Russell writes: These updates fix one bug in the component helper where the matched components are not properly cleaned up when the master fails to bind. I'll provide a version of this for stable trees if it's deemed that we need to backport it. The second patch causes the component helper to ignore duplicate matches when adding components - this is something that was originally needed for imx-drm, but since that has now been updated, we no longer need to skip over a component which has already been matched. The final patch starts the process of updating the component helper API to achieve two goals: to allow the API to be more efficient when deferred probing occurs, and to allow for future improvements to the component helper without having a major impact on the users. This represents groundwork for some other changes; once this has been merged, I will then send two further pull requests (one for the staging tree, and one for the DRM tree) to update the drivers to the new API. This will result in these three commits being shared with those trees.

2014-06-26recordmcount/MIPS: Fix possible incorrect mcount_loc table entries in modulesAlex Smith1-2/+2
On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc table should only reference the first of these, so the second is filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that immediately follow the previous one seen. However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0 being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table. This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent) instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so: 0xffffffffc08a8000: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8014 0xffffffffc08a8004: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8018 0xffffffffc08a8008: 2d 08 e0 03 move at,ra ... The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception. Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0 to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

2014-06-11decode_stacktrace: make stack dump output useful againSasha Levin1-0/+126
Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack dumps to eachother, which looks something like this: [ 6.906437] [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20 [ 6.907121] [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f [ 6.907640] [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110 [ 6.908281] [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0 [ 6.908870] [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22 [ 6.909480] [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0 [...] However, most of the text you get is pure garbage. The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of different kernel code versions and various configurations being used, the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really helpful in determining where the problem actually occured. Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line' translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the issue (and really annoying). The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would look like this: [ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) [ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418) [ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453) [ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0 [ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728) [ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939) [ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766) It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump before. Usage is pretty simple: ./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path] Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example: ./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).

2014-06-10scripts: objdiff: change the extension of disassembly from .o to .disMasahiro Yamada1-2/+3
Prior to this commit, the command "scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o" disassembled the given object into ".tmp_objdiff/path/to/*.o" file. The problem here is that recorded disassemblies are lost if we run "make clean" because it removes all the *.o files. Disassembled code should be dumped into *.dis instead of *.o files.

2014-06-10scripts: objdiff: improve path flexibility for record commandMasahiro Yamada1-6/+16
Prior to this commit, scripts/objdiff expected to be run at the top directory and only the relative path of objects. This commit provides more flexibility in terms of object path: [1] scripts/objdiff can be run in any directory For example, $ scripts/objdiff record init/main.o and $ cd init; ../scripts/objdiff record main.o produce the same result. [2] Support absolute path for objects $ scripts/objdiff record /home/foo/bar/linux/init/main.o work as well.

2014-06-10scripts: objdiff: get the path to .tmp_objdiff more simplyMasahiro Yamada1-7/+5
This commit is a minor refactoring. Temporary files for objdiff are stored in .tmp_objdiff directory which is located at the top directory. To get the path to this directory, SRCTREE=`git rev-parse --show-toplevel` TMPD=$SRCTREE/.tmp_objdiff seems easier to understand than GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir` TMPD=${GIT_DIR%git}tmp_objdiff Besides, it is not always necessary to create .tmp_objdiff dicrectory. It should be created only for "record" command. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2014-06-10deb-pkg: Add automatic support for s390x architectureBen Hutchings1-1/+1
The Debian s390x architecture has 64-bit userland whereas s390 has 32-bit userland. A 64-bit kernel can be used with either. Now that Debian supports multiarch and officially supports s390x, it makes more sense to assign a 64-bit kernel package to s390x.

2014-06-10scripts/tags.sh: ignore symlink'ed source filesYann Droneaud1-4/+6
Since commit 22d651dcef536c75f75537290bf3da5038e68b6b ('selftests/powerpc: Import Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user tests'), some source files in the tree appear as symlink. Until commit 8c38a5328af8080bc69a25b3e4e144b03eeea95e ('scripts/tags.sh: ignore code of user space tools'), those symlinks made cscope report some warnings: $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all O=./obj-cscope/ cscope GEN cscope cscope: cannot find file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_power7.S cscope: cannot find file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_64.S cscope: cannot find file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_power7.S cscope: cannot find file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_64.S In order to prevent the same kind of warnings to be triggered by future addition of symlinks, the best option is to ignore all symlinks when building the file list to be processed by cscope (and other tools supported by scripts/tags.sh). Ignoring symlinks won't hide source files from cscope (and others) as the target of these symlinks already appear somewhere else in the tree, and, as such, should be processed by cscope (or others). Note that, cscope, when used with -R option to make it find the files to process by itself, already skip symlinks: it's not expected that cscope access source files through symlink. On top of commit 8c38a5328af8080bc69a25b3e4e144b03eeea95e ('scripts/tags.sh: ignore code of user space tools'), scripts/tags.sh output from "make cscope tags TAGS" is the same with and without this patch: it doesn't seems to introduce any regression (on Fedora 20).
