Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some false positive warning messages. checkpatch has multiple types of false positives: o Commit message lines > 75 chars o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars. o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>") parentheses and double quotes like other uses of git commit ID and description. Fix these. Miscellanea: o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump above the test for a long line commit message o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Reported-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There is a classical off-by-one error in case when we try to place, for example, 1+1 bytes as hex in the buffer of size 6. The expected result is to get an output truncated, but in the reality we get 6 bytes filed followed by terminating NUL. Change the logic how we fill the output in case of byte dumping into limited space. This will follow the snprintf() behaviour by truncating output even on half bytes.

I noticed that commit a20135ff ("writeback: don't drain bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying to iterate over. The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to list_del() not reordering. Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall. Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code). In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are: - switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). - keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by other users of those structures.

Sometimes kobject_set_name_vargs is called with a format string conaining no %, or a format string of precisely "%s", where the single vararg happens to point to .rodata. kvasprintf_const detects these cases for us and returns a copy of that pointer instead of duplicating the string, thus saving some run-time memory. Otherwise, it falls back to kvasprintf. We just need to always deallocate ->name using kfree_const. Unfortunately, the dance we need to do to perform the '/' -> '!' sanitization makes the resulting code rather ugly. I instrumented kstrdup_const to provide some statistics on the memory saved, and for me this gave an additional ~14KB after boot (306KB was already saved; this patch bumped that to 320KB). I have KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==3, and since 80% of the kvasprintf_const hits were satisfied by an 8-byte allocation, the 14K would roughly be quadrupled when KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==5. Whether these numbers are sufficient to justify the ugliness I'll leave to others to decide.

This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible: If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const. Otherwise, we fall back to kvasprintf. Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by reusing .rodata when possible. The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for kstrdup_const. There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases, the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

llist_del_first reads entry->next, but it did not acquire visibility over the entry node. As the result it can get a stale value of entry->next (e.g. NULL or whatever garbage was there before the appending thread wrote correct value). And then commit that value as llist head with cmpxchg. That will corrupt llist. Note there is a control-dependency between read of head->first and read of entry->next, but it does not make the code correct. Kernel memory model unambiguously says: "A load-load control dependency requires a full read memory barrier". Use smp_load_acquire to acquire visibility over the entry node. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).

Many flag options are boolean and support both a positive and a negative invocation from the command line. Some of these are even mentioned by example (e.g., --nogit is mentioned as a default option), but they aren't explicitly mentioned in the list of options. It happens that some of these are pretty important, as they are default-on, and to turn them off, you have to know about the --no-foo version. Rather than clutter the whole help text with bracketed '--[no]foo', let's just mention the general rule, a la 'man gcc'.

The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right: It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the messages can always be reliably determined. Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store() implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg to spoof kernel messages as shown below: The following call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1): user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty However, this call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility): kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the beginning and catch the truncation early.

This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities. Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf(). This should help catch such issues. Also, it should help ensure that changes to the formatting algorithms don't break anything. I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting. The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional table-driven approach. For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime values etc. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

As a quick git grep -E '%[ +0#-]*#[ +0#-]*(\*|[0-9]+)?(\.(\*|[0-9]+)?)?p' shows, nobody uses the # flag with %p. Should one try to do so, one will be met with warning: `#' flag used with `%p' gnu_printf format [-Wformat] (POSIX and C99 both say "... For other conversion specifiers, the behavior is undefined.". Obviously, the kernel can choose to define the behaviour however it wants, but as long as gcc issues that warning, users are unlikely to show up.) Since default_width is effectively always 2*sizeof(void*), we can simplify the prologue of pointer() and save a few instructions.

Quoting from 2aa2f9e2 ("lib/vsprintf.c: improve sanity check in vsnprintf()"): On 64 bit, size may very well be huge even if bit 31 happens to be 0. Somehow it doesn't feel right that one can pass a 5 GiB buffer but not a 3 GiB one. So cap at INT_MAX as was probably the intention all along. This is also the made-up value passed by sprintf and vsprintf. I should have seen this copy-pasted instance back then, but let's just do it now.

If we meet any invalid or unsupported format specifier, 'handling' it by just printing it as a literal string is not safe: Presumably the format string and the arguments passed gcc's type checking, but that means something like sprintf(buf, "%n %pd", &intvar, dentry) would end up interpreting &intvar as a struct dentry*. When the offending specifier was %n it used to be at the end of the format string, but we can't rely on that always being the case. Also, gcc doesn't complain about some more or less exotic qualifiers (or 'length modifiers' in posix-speak) such as 'j' or 'q', but being unrecognized by the kernel's printf implementation, they'd be interpreted as unknown specifiers, and the rest of arguments would be interpreted wrongly. So let's complain about anything we don't understand, not just %n, and stop pretending that we'd be able to make sense of the rest of the format/arguments. If the offending specifier is in a printk() call we unfortunately only get a "BUG: recent printk recursion!", but at least direct users of the sprintf family will be caught.

Documentation/printk-formats.txt has detailed information about each modifier, docstring above pointer() has short descriptions of them (as that is the function dealing with %p) and docstring above vsprintf() is removed as redundant.

On x86-64 it leads to slightly smaller code size due usesage of plain MOV instead of MOVZX (zero-extended move) or similar effect. allyesconfig: text data bss dec hex filename 159520446 48146736 72196096 279863278 10ae5fee vmlinux.pre 159520382 48146736 72196096 279863214 10ae5fae vmlinux.post On other architectures without native support of 16-bit data types the Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().

The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in struct page. For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion. For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we have only two destructor and NULL currently. This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation for the next patch.

We are going to rework how compound_head() work. It will not use page->first_page as we have it now. The only other user of page->first_page beyond compound pages is zsmalloc. Let's use page->private instead of page->first_page here. It occupies the same storage space. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Each `struct size_class' contains `struct zs_size_stat': an array of NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE `unsigned long'. For zsmalloc built with no CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT this results in a waste of `2 * sizeof(unsigned long)' per-class. The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array). Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants, GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type larger than NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE: CLASS_ALMOST_EMPTY and CLASS_ALMOST_FULL at the moment. ./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/zsmalloc.o.old mm/zsmalloc.o.new add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-39 (-39) function old new delta fix_fullness_group 97 94 -3 insert_zspage 100 86 -14 remove_zspage 141 119 -22 To summarize: a) each class now uses less memory b) we avoid a number of dec/inc stats (a minor optimization, but still).
