This macro appears to have been introduced back in the 2.5 era for semtimedop32 backward compatibility on ia32: https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/28/78 Nowadays, this syscall in compat just defaults back to the code found in sem.c, so it is no longer used and can thus be removed: long compat_sys_semtimedop(int semid, struct sembuf __user *tsems, unsigned nsops, const struct compat_timespec __user *timeout) { struct timespec __user *ts64; if (compat_convert_timespec(&ts64, timeout)) return -EFAULT; return sys_semtimedop(semid, tsems, nsops, ts64); } Furthermore, there are no users in compat.c. After this change, kernel builds just fine with both CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT and CONFIG_SYSVIPC. Signed-off-by:

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a value after BUG()). In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by rebooting).

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an infinite loop rather than a no-op. This avoids undefined behavior if execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not returning). bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 43/10 up/down: 235/-98 (137) function old new delta umount_collect 119 138 +19 notify_change 306 324 +18 xstate_enable_boot_cpu 252 269 +17 kunmap 54 70 +16 balloon_page_dequeue 112 126 +14 mm_take_all_locks 223 233 +10 list_lru_walk_node 143 152 +9 vma_adjust 1059 1067 +8 pcpu_setup_first_chunk 1130 1138 +8 mm_drop_all_locks 143 151 +8 ns_capable 55 62 +7 anon_transport_class_unregister 8 15 +7 srcu_init_notifier_head 35 41 +6 shrink_dcache_for_umount 174 180 +6 kunmap_high 99 105 +6 end_page_writeback 43 49 +6 do_exit 1339 1345 +6 __kfifo_dma_out_prepare_r 86 92 +6 __kfifo_dma_in_prepare_r 90 96 +6 fixup_user_fault 120 125 +5 repair_env_string 73 77 +4 read_cache_pages_invalidate_page 56 60 +4 isolate_lru_pages.isra 142 146 +4 do_notify_parent_cldstop 255 259 +4 cpu_init 370 374 +4 utimes_common 270 272 +2 tasklet_hi_action 91 93 +2 tasklet_action 91 93 +2 set_pte_vaddr 46 48 +2 find_get_pages_tag 202 204 +2 early_iounmap 185 187 +2 __native_set_fixmap 36 38 +2 __get_user_pages 822 824 +2 __early_ioremap 299 301 +2 yield_task_stop 1 2 +1 tick_resume 37 38 +1 switched_to_stop 1 2 +1 switched_to_idle 1 2 +1 prio_changed_stop 1 2 +1 prio_changed_idle 1 2 +1 pm_qos_power_read 111 112 +1 arch_cpu_idle_dead 1 2 +1 __insert_vmap_area 140 141 +1 sys_renameat 614 612 -2 mm_fault_error 297 295 -2 SyS_renameat 614 612 -2 sys_linkat 416 413 -3 SyS_linkat 416 413 -3 chmod_common 129 122 -7 proc_cap_handler 240 225 -15 __schedule 849 831 -18 sys_madvise 1077 1054 -23 SyS_madvise 1077 1054 -23 Signed-off-by:

When !CONFIG_BUG, WARN_ON and family become simple passthroughs of their condition argument; however, WARN_ON_ONCE and family still have conditions and a boolean to detect one-time invocation, even though the warning they'd emit doesn't exist. Make the existing definitions conditional on CONFIG_BUG, and add definitions for !CONFIG_BUG that map to the passthrough versions of WARN and WARN_ON. This saves 4.4k on a minimized configuration (smaller than allnoconfig), and 20.6k with defconfig plus CONFIG_BUG=n. Signed-off-by:

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations. Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig. This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed. However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't typically get build-tested with those disabled. To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED (which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the symbols hidden behind those. Signed-off-by:

Enable TTY to prevent a build error. Minimal fix, on the basis that few people on ia64 will care deeply about kernel size enough to turn off TTY. Ideally, I'd instead suggest dropping the tty_write_message entirely, and just leaving the printk. Bonus: no need to sprintf first. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices. It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip or an eternal bridge, known as "mport"). Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have a single RapidIO controller. With introduction of devices using multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme is very limiting or does not work at all. The implemented changes allow to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide device details needed for upper layers. This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known existing kernel or user space interfaces. Signed-off-by:

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.

Currently when an empty PT_NOTE is detected, vmcore initialization fails. It sounds too harsh. Because PT_NOTE could be empty, for example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains. It's better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise vmcore. And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all empty PT_NOTE are discarded naturally during the merge. So empty PT_NOTE is not visible to user space and vmcore is as good as expected. Signed-off-by:

Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue. However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false) always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case. Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the "if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the "fall through" code below. This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent. Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a zombie state. Stupid test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader raise(SIGSTOP); exit(0x13); return NULL; } int run_child(void) { pthread_t thread; if (!fork()) { int tracee = getppid(); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0); do ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0); while (wait(NULL) > 0); return 0; } sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(void) { int child, stat; child = fork(); if (!child) return run_child(); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED)); assert(stat == 0x137f); kill(child, SIGCONT); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED)); assert(stat == 0xffff); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(stat == 0x1300); return 0; } Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is never called. Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(), WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task() is very wrong. Trivial test-case: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <assert.h> int main(void) { int child = fork(); if (!child) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); return 0x23; } assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0); assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1); return 0; } it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie child. This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify us. Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the child is traced by us. This really simplifies the logic and allows us to do more fixes, see the next changes. This also hides the unwanted group stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check. Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes: 1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread. Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway. 2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if it is real parent. While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace, it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent. Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on ptrace_reparented(). Signed-off-by: -

get_task_state() uses the most significant bit to report the state to user-space, this means that EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_TRACE->EXIT_DEAD transition can be noticed via /proc as Z -> X -> Z change. Note that this was possible even before EXIT_TRACE was introduced. This is not really bad but imho it make sense to hide EXIT_TRACE from user-space completely. So the patch simply swaps EXIT_ZOMBIE and EXIT_DEAD, this way EXIT_TRACE will be seen as EXIT_ZOMBIE by user-space. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task(). Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent. The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257 "ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear ->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE. And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack. 1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural parent. This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still reports "X (dead)" in this case. Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix. 2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD if we need to notify the ->real_parent. 3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task. 4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case. If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list. Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error, we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace" even if the task was already untraced. Signed-off-by:

Starting from commit c4ad8f98 ("execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing") bprm->filename can not go away after flush_old_exec(), so we do not need to save the binary name in bprm->tcomm[] added by 96e02d15 ("exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec()"). And there was never need for filename_to_taskname-like code, we can simply do set_task_comm(kbasename(filename).
