rcu: Fix undefined Kconfig macros

2021-09-13T23:32:46+00:00

Invoking scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py in the Linux-kernel source tree located the following issues: 1. TREE_PREEMPT_RCU Referencing files: arch/sh/configs/sdk7786_defconfig It should now be CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU. Except that the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in that same file implies CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y. Therefore, delete the CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y line. The reason is as follows: In kernel/rcu/Kconfig, we have config PREEMPT_RCU bool default y if PREEMPTION https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt says, "The default value is only assigned to the config symbol if no other value was set by the user (via the input prompt above)." there is no prompt in config PREEMPT_RCU entry, so we are guaranteed to get CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y when CONFIG_PREEMPT is present. 2. RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO Referencing files: arch/xtensa/configs/nommu_kc705_defconfig The old Kconfig option RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO was removed by commit 75c27f119b64 ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO"), and the kernel now acts as if this Kconfig option was unconditionally enabled. 3. RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL Referencing files: Documentation/RCU/Design/Memory-Ordering/Tree-RCU-Memory-Ordering.rst This is an old snapshot of the code. I update this from the real rcu_prepare_for_idle() function in kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h. This change was tested by invoking "make htmldocs". 4. RCU_TORTURE_TESTS Referencing files: kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c Forward-progress checking conflicts with CPU-stall testing, so we should complain at "modprobe rcutorture" when both are enabled.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good

2021-05-07T07:26:34+00:00

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu: - Retire EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). These export types were introduced between 2006 - 2008. All the of the unused symbols have been long removed and gpl future symbols were converted to gpl quite a long time ago, and I don't believe these export types have been used ever since. So, I think it should be safe to retire those export types now (Christoph Hellwig) - Refactor and clean up some aged code cruft in the module loader (Christoph Hellwig) - Build {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol only when livepatching is enabled, as it is the only caller (Christoph Hellwig) - Unexport find_module() and module_mutex and fix the last module callers to not rely on these anymore.
