scripts/gdb/linux/tasks.py: fix get_thread_info

2018-01-23T18:57:08+00:00

commit 883d50f56d263f70fd73c0d96b09eb36c34e9305 upstream. Since kernel 4.9, the thread_info has been moved into task_struct, no longer locates at the bottom of kernel stack. See commits c65eacbe290b ("sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct") and 15f4eae70d36 ("x86: Move thread_info into task_struct"). Before fix: (gdb) set $current = $lx_current() (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current) $1 = {flags = 1470918301} (gdb) p $current.thread_info $2 = {flags = 2147483648} After fix: (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current) $1 = {flags = 2147483648} (gdb) p $current.thread_info $2 = {flags = 2147483648} Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180118210159.17223-1-imxikangjie@gmail.com Fixes: 15f4eae70d36 ("x86: Move thread_info into task_struct") Signed-off-by: Xi Kangjie Acked-by: Jan Kiszka Acked-by: Kieran Bingham Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections for modules

2018-01-17T08:38:58+00:00

commit e390f9a9689a42f477a6073e2e7df530a4c1b740 upstream. The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they should also be discarded for modules. Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with ".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards such sections. Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

coccinelle: fix parallel build with CHECK=scripts/coccicheck

2017-12-14T08:28:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit d7059ca0147adcd495f3c5b41f260e1ac55bb679 ] The command "make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" produces lots of "coccicheck failed" error messages. Julia Lawall explained the Coccinelle behavior as follows: "The problem on the Coccinelle side is that it uses a subdirectory with the name of the semantic patch to store standard output and standard error for the different threads. I didn't want to use a name with the pid, so that one could easily find this information while Coccinelle is running. Normally the subdirectory is cleaned up when Coccinelle completes, so there is only one of them at a time. Maybe it is best to just add the pid. There is the risk that these subdirectories will accumulate if Coccinelle crashes in a way such that they don't get cleaned up, but Coccinelle could print a warning if it detects this case, rather than failing." When scripts/coccicheck is used as CHECK tool and -j option is given to Make, the whole of build process runs in parallel. So, multiple processes try to get access to the same subdirectory. I notice spatch creates the subdirectory only when it runs in parallel (i.e. --jobs is given and is greater than 1). Setting NPROC=1 is a reasonable solution; spatch does not create the subdirectory. Besides, ONLINE=1 mode takes a single file input for each spatch invocation, so there is no reason to parallelize it in the first place.

kbuild: pkg: use --transform option to prefix paths in tar

2017-12-14T08:28:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2dbc644ac62bbcb9ee78e84719953f611be0413d ] For rpm-pkg and deb-pkg, a source tar file is created. All paths in the archive must be prefixed with the base name of the tar so that everything is contained in the directory when you extract it. Currently, scripts/package/Makefile uses a symlink for that, and removes it after the tar is created. If you terminate the build during the tar creation, the symlink is left over. Then, at the next package build, you will see a warning like follows: ln: '.' and 'kernel-4.14.0+/.' are the same file It is possible to fix it by adding -n (--no-dereference) option to the "ln" command, but a cleaner way is to use --transform option of "tar" command. This option is GNU extension, but it should not hurt to use it in the Linux build system. The 'S' flag is needed to exclude symlinks from the path fixup. Without it, symlinks in the kernel are broken. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

module: set __jump_table alignment to 8

2017-12-14T08:28:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit ab42632156becd35d3884ee5c14da2bedbf3149a ] For powerpc the __jump_table section in modules is not aligned, this causes a WARN_ON() splat when loading a module containing a __jump_table. Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35b58d ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to __jump_table elements. Fix by forcing __jump_table to 8, which is the same alignment used for this section in the kernel proper.

checkpatch: silence perl 5.26.0 unescaped left brace warnings

2017-07-21T05:42:21+00:00

commit 8d81ae05d0176da1c54aeaed697fa34be5c5575e upstream. As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.

kconfig/nconf: Fix hang when editing symbol with a long prompt

2017-01-09T07:32:25+00:00

commit 79e51b5c2deea542b3bb8c66e0d502230b017dde upstream. Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters. dialog_inputbox() calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails as this is invalid. It also doesn't check for this failure, so it busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1. The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended size of the window. Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to show_scroll_win().

commit 152b695d74376bfe55cd2a6265ccc75b0d39dd19 upstream. Both Debian and kernel archs are "arm64" but UTS_MACHINE and gcc say "aarch64".
