Some checks look for comments around a specific function like read_barrier_depends. Extend the check to support both c89 and c90 comment styles. c89 /* comment */ or c99 // comment For c99 comments, only look a 3 single lines, the line being scanned, the line above and the line below the line being scanned rather than the patch diff context.

Clang normally does not warn about certain issues in inline functions when it only happens in an eliminated code path. However if something else goes wrong, it does tend to complain about the definition of hweight_long() on 32-bit targets: include/linux/bitops.h:75:41: error: shift count >= width of type [-Werror,-Wshift-count-overflow] return sizeof(w) == 4 ? hweight32(w) : hweight64(w); ^~~~~~~~~~~~ include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:29:49: note: expanded from macro 'hweight64' define hweight64(w) (__builtin_constant_p(w) ? __const_hweight64(w) : __arch_hweight64(w)) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:21:76: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight64' define __const_hweight64(w) (__const_hweight32(w) + __const_hweight32((w) >> 32)) ^ ~~ include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:20:49: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight32' define __const_hweight32(w) (__const_hweight16(w) + __const_hweight16((w) >> 16)) ^ include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:19:72: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight16' define __const_hweight16(w) (__const_hweight8(w) + __const_hweight8((w) >> 8 )) ^ include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:12:9: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight8' (!!((w) & (1ULL << 2))) + \ Adding an explicit cast to __u64 avoids that warning and makes it easier to read other output.

Test some bit clears/sets to make sure assembly doesn't change, and that the set_bit and clear_bit functions work and don't cause sparse warnings. Instruct Kbuild to build this file with extra warning level -Wextra, to catch new issues, and also doesn't hurt to build with C=1. This was used to test changes to arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h. In particular, sparse (C=1) was very concerned when the last bit before a natural boundary, like 7, or 31, was being tested, as this causes sign extension (0xffffff7f) for instance when clearing bit 7. Recommended usage: make defconfig scripts/config -m CONFIG_TEST_BITOPS make modules_prepare make C=1 W=1 lib/test_bitops.ko objdump -S -d lib/test_bitops.ko insmod lib/test_bitops.ko rmmod lib/test_bitops.ko <check dmesg>, there should be no compiler/sparse warnings and no error messages in log.

If the given type has fraction smaller than max_frac/FPROP_FRAC_BASE, the code could be modified to call __fprop_inc_percpu() directly and easier to understand. After this patch, fprop_reflect_period_percpu() will be called twice, and quicky return on pl->period == p->period test, so it would not result to significant downside of performance.

The zlib inflate code has an old micro-optimization based on the assumption that for pre-increment memory accesses, the compiler will generate code that fits better into the processor's pipeline than what would be generated for post-increment memory accesses. This optimization was already removed in upstream zlib in 2016: https://github.com/madler/zlib/commit/9aaec95e8211 This optimization causes UB according to C99, which says in section 6.5.6 "Additive operators": "If both the pointer operand and the result point to elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the array object, the evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the behavior is undefined". This UB is not only a theoretical concern, but can also cause trouble for future work on compiler-based sanitizers. According to the zlib commit, this optimization also is not optimal anymore with modern compilers. Replace uses of OFF, PUP and UP_UNALIGNED with their definitions in the POSTINC case, and remove the macro definitions, just like in the upstream patch. Signed-off-by:

When updating a piece of broken logic from using get_user to strncpy_from_user, we noticed that a warning which is expected when calling a function that might fault from an atomic context with pagefaults enabled disappeared. Not having this warning in place can lead to calling strncpy_from_user from an atomic context and eventually kernel crashes/stack corruption. Signed-off-by:

pr_xxx() functions usually have a newline at the end of the logging message. Here, this newline is added via the 'pr_fmt' macro. In order to be more consistent with other files, use a more standard convention and put these newlines back in the messages themselves and remove it from the pr_fmt macro. While at it, use __func__ instead of hardcoding a function name in the last message. Signed-off-by:

get_maintainer behaves differently if there is a double sequential forward slash in a filename because the total number of slashes in a filename is used to match MAINTAINERS file patterns.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e29 ("mm, memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone. While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other land mines hidden at other places. It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps. Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and requires a non trivial amount of work to fix. Robin said: "32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to. FWIW it looks like SuperH is the only pure-32-bit architecture to have hotplug support at all" Signed-off-by:

Currently, when adding memory, we create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ as "System RAM". This will lead to kexec-tools to add that memory to the fixed-up initial memmap for a kexec kernel (loaded via kexec_load()). The memory will be considered initial System RAM by the kexec'd kernel and can no longer be reconfigured. This is not what happens during a real reboot. Let's add our memory via add_memory_driver_managed() now, so we won't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ and indicate the memory as "System RAM (kmem)" in /proc/iomem. This allows everybody (especially kexec-tools) to identify that this memory is special and has to be treated differently than ordinary (hotplugged) System RAM.

David Hildenbrand authored
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Interface to add driver-managed system ram", v4. kexec (via kexec_load()) can currently not properly handle memory added via dax/kmem, and will have similar issues with virtio-mem. kexec-tools will currently add all memory to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. In case of dax/kmem, this means that - in contrast to a proper reboot - how that persistent memory will be used can no longer be configured by the kexec'd kernel. In case of virtio-mem it will be harmful, because that memory might contain inaccessible pieces that require coordination with hypervisor first. In both cases, we want to let the driver in the kexec'd kernel handle detecting and adding the memory, like during an ordinary reboot. Introduce add_memory_driver_managed(). More on the samentics are in patch #1. In the future, we might want to make this behavior configurable for dax/kmem- either by configuring it in the kernel (which would then also allow to configure kexec_file_load()) or in kexec-tools by also adding "System RAM (kmem)" memory from /proc/iomem to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. More on the motivation can be found in [1] and [2]. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200429160803.109056-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Some device drivers rely on memory they managed to not get added to the initial (firmware) memmap as system RAM - so it's not used as initial system RAM by the kernel and the driver is under control. While this is the case during cold boot and after a reboot, kexec is not aware of that and might add such memory to the initial (firmware) memmap of the kexec kernel. We need ways to teach kernel and userspace that this system ram is different. For example, dax/kmem allows to decide at runtime if persistent memory is to be used as system ram. Another future user is virtio-mem, which has to coordinate with its hypervisor to deal with inaccessible parts within memory resources. We want to let users in the kernel (esp. kexec) but also user space (esp. kexec-tools) know that this memory has different semantics and needs to be handled differently: 1. Don't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ 2. Name the memory resource "System RAM ($DRIVER)" (exposed via /proc/iomem) ($DRIVER might be "kmem", "virtio_mem"). 3. Flag the memory resource IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED /sys/firmware/memmap/ [1] represents the "raw firmware-provided memory map" because "on most architectures that firmware-provided memory map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself". The primary user is kexec on x86-64. Since commit d96ae530 ("memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory"), we add all hotplugged memory to that firmware memmap - which makes perfect sense for traditional memory hotplug on x86-64, where real HW will also add hotplugged DIMMs to the firmware memmap. We replicate what the "raw firmware-provided memory map" looks like after hot(un)plug. To keep things simple, let the user provide the full resource name instead of only the driver name - this way, we don't have to manually allocate/craft strings for memory resources. Also use the resource name to make decisions, to avoid passing additional flags. In case the name isn't "System RAM", it's special. We don't have to worry about firmware_map_remove() on the removal path. If there is no entry, it will simply return with -EINVAL. We'll adapt dax/kmem in a follow-up patch.

The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64, s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks. Signed-off-by:
