init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on HAS_IOMEM

2021-04-10T11:01:58+00:00

commit ea29b20a828511de3348334e529a3d046a180416 upstream. I read the commit log of the following two: - bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML") - 334ef6ed06fa ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390") Both are talking about HAS_IOMEM dependency missing in many drivers. So, 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' seems the direct, sensible solution to me. This does not change the behavior of UML. UML still cannot enable COMPILE_TEST because it does not provide HAS_IOMEM. The current dependency for S390 is too strong. Under the condition of CONFIG_PCI=y, S390 provides HAS_IOMEM, hence can enable COMPILE_TEST. I also removed the meaningless 'default n'.

init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390

2021-04-10T11:01:58+00:00

commit 334ef6ed06fa1a54e35296b77b693bcf6d63ee9e upstream. While allmodconfig and allyesconfig build for s390 there are also various bots running compile tests with randconfig, where PCI is disabled. This reveals that a lot of drivers should actually depend on HAS_IOMEM. Adding this to each device driver would be a never ending story, therefore just disable COMPILE_TEST for s390. The reasoning is more or less the same as described in commit bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML").

init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML

2021-04-10T11:01:58+00:00

commit bc083a64b6c035135c0f80718f9e9192cc0867c6 upstream. UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma. That means a lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is the only stranger. We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds. One could argue that a decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug. But the dependency not obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when developing a device driver. A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon runtime. Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML. Since it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support let's do the latter.

printk: reduce LOG_BUF_SHIFT range for H8300

2020-11-10T09:22:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit 550c10d28d21bd82a8bb48debbb27e6ed53262f6 ] The .bss section for the h8300 is relatively small. A value of CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT that is larger than 19 will create a static printk ringbuffer that is too large. Limit the range appropriately for the H8300.

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-20T06:11:49+00:00

commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream. We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though.

kbuild: compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig

2020-05-20T06:11:49+00:00

commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream. Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched various false positives: - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os") turned off this option for -Os. - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9 Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903 I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

sched/core: Add try_get_task_stack() and put_task_stack()

commit c6c314a613cd7d03fb97713e0d642b493de42e69 upstream. There are a few places in the kernel that access stack memory belonging to a different task. Before we can start freeing task stacks before the task_struct is freed, we need a way for those code paths to pin the stack.

sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct

2019-12-21T09:35:04+00:00

commit c65eacbe290b8141554c71b2c94489e73ade8c8d upstream. If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT, then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct.

Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition

2018-06-06T14:46:23+00:00

commit 877417e6ffb9578e8580abf76a71e15732473456 upstream. CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disables the often useful -Wmaybe-unused warning, because that causes a ridiculous amount of false positives when combined with -Os. This means a lot of warnings don't show up in testing by the developers that should see them with an 'allmodconfig' kernel that has CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled, but only later in randconfig builds that don't. This changes the Kconfig logic around CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE to make it a 'choice' statement defaulting to CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE that gets added for this purpose. The allmodconfig and allyesconfig kernels now default to -O2 with the maybe-unused warning enabled.

bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config

2018-02-03T16:04:24+00:00

[ upstream commit 290af86629b25ffd1ed6232c4e9107da031705cb ] The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715. A quote from goolge project zero blog: "At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying. So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets." To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode. So far eBPF JIT is supported by: x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64 The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only. In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden v2->v3: - move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel) v1->v2: - fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback) - fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback) - add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func - retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk. It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next Considered doing: int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT; but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place and remove this jit_init() function.
