random: remove ratelimiting for in-kernel unseeded randomness

2022-05-30T07:29:16+00:00

commit cc1e127bfa95b5fb2f9307e7168bf8b2b45b4c5e upstream. The CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM debug option controls whether the kernel warns about all unseeded randomness or just the first instance. There's some complicated rate limiting and comparison to the previous caller, such that even with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM enabled, developers still don't see all the messages or even an accurate count of how many were missed. This is the result of basically parallel mechanisms aimed at accomplishing more or less the same thing, added at different points in random.c history, which sort of compete with the first-instance-only limiting we have now. It turns out, however, that nobody cares about the first unseeded randomness instance of in-kernel users. The same first user has been there for ages now, and nobody is doing anything about it. It isn't even clear that anybody _can_ do anything about it. Most places that can do something about it have switched over to using get_random_bytes_wait() or wait_for_random_bytes(), which is the right thing to do, but there is still much code that needs randomness sometimes during init, and as a geeneral rule, if you're not using one of the _wait functions or the readiness notifier callback, you're bound to be doing it wrong just based on that fact alone. So warning about this same first user that can't easily change is simply not an effective mechanism for anything at all. Users can't do anything about it, as the Kconfig text points out -- the problem isn't in userspace code -- and kernel developers don't or more often can't react to it. Instead, show the warning for all instances when CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is set, so that developers can debug things need be, or if it isn't set, don't show a warning at all. At the same time, CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM now implies setting random.ratelimit_disable=1 on by default, since if you care about one you probably care about the other too. And we can clean up usage around the related urandom_warning ratelimiter as well (whose behavior isn't changing), so that it properly counts missed messages after the 10 message threshold is reached.

lib/Kconfig.debug: add ARCH dependency for FUNCTION_ALIGN option

2022-04-13T18:59:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1bf18da62106225dbc47aab41efee2aeb99caccd ] 0Day robots reported there is compiling issue for 'csky' ARCH when CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_DATA_SECTION_ALIGNED is enabled [1]: All errors (new ones prefixed by >>): {standard input}: Assembler messages: >> {standard input}:2277: Error: pcrel offset for branch to .LS000B too far (0x3c) Which was discussed in [2]. And as there is no solution for csky yet, add some dependency for this config to limit it to several ARCHs which have no compiling issue so far.

xtensa: increase size of gcc stack frame check

2021-09-24T23:13:34+00:00

xtensa frame size is larger than the frame size for almost all other architectures. This results in more than 50 "the frame size of is larger than 1024 bytes" errors when trying to build xtensa:allmodconfig. Increase frame size for xtensa to 1536 bytes to avoid compile errors due to frame size limits.

lib/test: convert test_sort.c to use KUnit

This follows up commit ebd09577be6c ("lib/test: convert lib/test_list_sort.c to use KUnit"). Converting this test to KUnit makes the test a bit shorter, standardizes how it reports pass/fail, and adds an easier way to run the test [1]. Like ebd09577be6c, this leaves the file and Kconfig option name the same, but slightly changes their dependencies (needs CONFIG_KUNIT).

Makefile: remove stale cc-option checks

2021-09-02T23:12:38+00:00

cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning all invoke the compiler during build time, and can slow down the build when these checks become stale for our supported compilers, whose minimally supported versions increases over time. See Documentation/process/changes.rst for the current supported minimal versions (GCC 4.9+, clang 10.0.1+). Compiler version support for these flags may be verified on godbolt.org. The following flags are GCC only and supported since at least GCC 4.9. Remove cc-option and cc-disable-warning tests. * -fno-tree-loop-im * -Wno-maybe-uninitialized * -fno-reorder-blocks * -fno-ipa-cp-clone * -fno-partial-inlining * -femit-struct-debug-baseonly * -fno-inline-functions-called-once * -fconserve-stack The following flags are supported by all supported versions of GCC and Clang. Remove their cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning tests. * -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks * -fno-var-tracking * -Wno-array-bounds The following configs are made dependent on GCC, since they use GCC specific flags. * READABLE_ASM * DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH -mfentry was not supported by s390-linux-gnu-gcc until gcc-9+, add a comment. --param=allow-store-data-races=0 was renamed to -fno-allow-store-data-races in the GCC 10 release; add a comment. -Wmaybe-uninitialized (GCC specific) was being added for CONFIG_GCOV, then again unconditionally; add it only once. Also, base RETPOLINE_CFLAGS and RETPOLINE_VDSO_CFLAGS on CONFIC_CC_IS_* then remove cc-option tests for Clang.
