kernel.h: split out kstrtox() and simple_strtox() to a separate header

2023-06-21T13:45:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c52729377eab025b238caeed48994a39c3b73f2 ] kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out kstrtox() and simple_strtox() helpers. At the same time convert users in header and lib folders to use new header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

linux/kconfig.h: replace IF_ENABLED() with PTR_IF() in

2023-03-11T15:39:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0ab1438bad43d95877f848b7df551bd431680270 ] is included from all the kernel-space source files, including C, assembly, linker scripts. It is intended to contain a minimal set of macros to evaluate CONFIG options. IF_ENABLED() is an intruder here because (x ? y : z) is C code, which should not be included from assembly files or linker scripts. Also, is no longer self-contained because NULL is defined in . Move IF_ENABLED() out to as PTR_IF(). PTF_IF() takes the general boolean expression instead of a CONFIG option so that it fits better in .

panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks

2023-02-01T07:23:20+00:00

commit 79cc1ba7badf9e7a12af99695a557e9ce27ee967 upstream. Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn". Consolidate this into a single function so that future instrumentation can be added in a single location.

kernel/panic: move panic sysctls to its own file

2023-02-01T07:23:18+00:00

commit 9df918698408fd914493aba0b7858fef50eba63a upstream. kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit follows the commit of fs, move the oops_all_cpu_backtrace sysctl to its own file, kernel/panic.c.

hex2bin: make the function hex_to_bin constant-time

2022-05-09T07:04:59+00:00

commit e5be15767e7e284351853cbaba80cde8620341fb upstream. The function hex2bin is used to load cryptographic keys into device mapper targets dm-crypt and dm-integrity. It should take constant time independent on the processed data, so that concurrently running unprivileged code can't infer any information about the keys via microarchitectural convert channels. This patch changes the function hex_to_bin so that it contains no branches and no memory accesses. Note that this shouldn't cause performance degradation because the size of the new function is the same as the size of the old function (on x86-64) - and the new function causes no branch misprediction penalties. I compile-tested this function with gcc on aarch64 alpha arm hppa hppa64 i386 ia64 m68k mips32 mips64 powerpc powerpc64 riscv sh4 s390x sparc32 sparc64 x86_64 and with clang on aarch64 arm hexagon i386 mips32 mips64 powerpc powerpc64 s390x sparc32 sparc64 x86_64 to verify that there are no branches in the generated code.

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

2020-10-13T22:58:10+00:00

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: "The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation, including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers. The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being discussed and should be ready for the next release. The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message can be extended. The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the descriptor ring with other metadata. The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata. This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers 2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. The next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal system operation. It will require special handling of situations when the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot, suspend, panic. Other changes: - Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of the rework and is familiar with the code and history. - Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report. - Few code cleanups" * tag 'printk-for-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (27 commits) printk: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword printk: reduce setup_text_buf size to LOG_LINE_MAX printk: avoid and/or handle record truncation printk: remove dict ring printk: move dictionary keys to dev_printk_info printk: move printk_info into separate array printk: reimplement log_cont using record extension printk: ringbuffer: add finalization/extension support printk: ringbuffer: change representation of states printk: ringbuffer: clear initial reserved fields printk: ringbuffer: add BLK_DATALESS() macro printk: ringbuffer: relocate get_data() printk: ringbuffer: avoid memcpy() on state_var printk: ringbuffer: fix setting state in desc_read() kernel.h: Move oops_in_progress to printk.h scripts/gdb: update for lockless printk ringbuffer scripts/gdb: add utils.read_ulong() docs: vmcoreinfo: add lockless printk ringbuffer vmcoreinfo printk: reduce LOG_BUF_SHIFT range for H8300 printk: ringbuffer: support dataless records ...
