The object-size sanitizer is redundant to -Warray-bounds, and inappropriately performs its checks at run-time when all information needed for the evaluation is available at compile-time, making it quite difficult to use: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214861 With -Warray-bounds almost enabled globally, it doesn't make sense to keep this around.

Until recent versions of GCC and Clang, it was not possible to disable KCOV instrumentation via a function attribute. The relevant function attribute was introduced in 540540d0 ("kcov: add __no_sanitize_coverage to fix noinstr for all architectures"). x86 was the first architecture to want a working noinstr, and at the time no compiler support for the attribute existed yet. Therefore, commit 0f1441b4 ("objtool: Fix noinstr vs KCOV") introduced the ability to NOP __sanitizer_cov_*() calls in .noinstr.text. However, this doesn't work for other architectures like arm64 and s390 that want a working noinstr per ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR. At the time of 0f1441b4, we didn't yet have ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, but now we can move the Kconfig dependency checks to the generic KCOV option. KCOV will be available if: - architecture does not care about noinstr, OR - we have objtool support (like on x86), OR - GCC is 12.0 or newer, OR - Clang is 13.0 or newer.

Commit b05fbcc3 ("btrfs: disable build on platforms having page size 256K") disabled btrfs for configurations that used a 256kB page size. However, it did not fully solve the problem because CONFIG_TEST_KMOD selects CONFIG_BTRFS, which does not account for the dependency. This results in a Kconfig warning and the failed BUILD_BUG_ON error returning.

Patch series "Fix CONFIG_TEST_KMOD with 256kB page size". The kernel test robot reported a build error [1] from a failed assertion in fs/btrfs/inode.c with a hexagon randconfig that includes CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_256KB. This error is the same one that was addressed by commit b05fbcc3 ("btrfs: disable build on platforms having page size 256K") but CONFIG_TEST_KMOD selects CONFIG_BTRFS without having the "page size less than 256kB dependency", which results in the error reappearing. The first patch introduces CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB by splitting it off from CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB, which was introduced in commit 1f0e290c ("arch: Add generic Kconfig option indicating page size smaller than 64k") for a similar reason in 5.16-rc3. The second patch uses that configuration option for CONFIG_BTRFS to reduce duplication. The third patch resolves the build error by adding CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB as a dependency to CONFIG_TEST_KMOD so that CONFIG_BTRFS does not get enabled under that invalid configuration. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202111270255.UYOoN5VN-lkp@intel.com/ This patch (of 3): btrfs requires a page size smaller than 256kB. To use that dependency in other places, introduce CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB and reuse that dependency in CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB.

Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc help fix many viruses like a microscope. On the other hand, those features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging options making them difficult to consume properly. This cold help amplify the general debugging/testing efforts and help establish sensitive default values for those options across the broad. This could also help different distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored kernels. The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms. It can be used for example, $ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create a separate one for KCSAN later as well.

Flags in struct task_delay_info is used to distinguish the difference between swapin and blkio delay acountings. But after patch "delayacct: support swapin delay accounting for swapping without blkio", there is no need to do that since swapin and blkio delay accounting use their own functions.

When a task is created after delayacct is enabled, kernel will do all the delay accountings for that task. The problems is if user disables delayacct by set /proc/sys/kernel/task_delayacct to zero, only blkio delay accounting is disabled. Now disable all the kinds of delay accountings when /proc/sys/kernel/task_delayacct sets to zero. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211123140342.32962-1-ran.xiaokai@zte.com.cnSigned-off-by:

Currently delayacct accounts swapin delay only for swapping that cause blkio. If we use zram for swapping, tools/accounting/getdelays can't get any SWAP delay. It's useful to get zram swapin delay information, for example to adjust compress algorithm or /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. Reference to PSI, it accounts any kind of swapping by doing its work in swap_readpage(), no matter whether swapping causes blkio. Let delayacct do the similar work.

The oops id has been added as part of the end of trace marker for the kerneloops.org project. The id is used to automatically identify duplicate submissions of the same report. Identical looking reports with different a id can be considered as the same oops occurred again. The early initialisation of the oops_id can create a warning if the random core is not yet fully initialized. On PREEMPT_RT it is problematic if the id is initialized on demand from non preemptible context. The kernel oops project is not available since 2017. Remove the oops_id and use 0 in the output in case parser rely on it. Link: https://bugs.debian.org/953172 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Ybdi16aP2NEugWHq@linutronix.deSigned-off-by:

congestion_wait() in this context is just a sleep - block devices do not support congestion signalling any more. The goal for this wait, which was introduced in commit ae78bf9c ("[PATCH] add -o flush for fat") is to wait for any recently written data to get to storage. We currently have no direct mechanism to do this, so a simple wait that behaves identically to the current congestion_wait() is the best we can do. This is a step towards removing congestion_wait() Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/163936544519.22433.13400436295732112065@noble.neil.brown.nameSigned-off-by:

Add struct_group() to mark the "info" region (containing struct DInfo and struct DXInfo structs) in struct hfsplus_cat_folder and struct hfsplus_cat_file that are written into directly, so the compiler can correctly reason about the expected size of the writes.

One exceptions to the COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE rule is a file path followed by ':'. That is typically some sort diagnostic message from a compiler or a build tool, in which case we don't want to wrap the lines but keep the message unmodified.

Patch series "test_hash.c: refactor into KUnit", v3. We refactored the lib/test_hash.c file into KUnit as part of the student group LKCAMP [1] introductory hackathon for kernel development. This test was pointed to our group by Daniel Latypov [2], so its full conversion into a pure KUnit test was our goal in this patch series, but we ran into many problems relating to it not being split as unit tests, which complicated matters a bit, as the reasoning behind the original tests is quite cryptic for those unfamiliar with hash implementations. Some interesting developments we'd like to highlight are: - In patch 1/5 we noticed that there was an unused define directive that could be removed. - In patch 4/5 we noticed how stringhash and hash tests are all under the lib/test_hash.c file, which might cause some confusion, and we also broke those kernel config entries up. Overall KUnit developments have been made in the other patches in this series: In patches 2/5, 3/5 and 5/5 we refactored the lib/test_hash.c file so as to make it more compatible with the KUnit style, whilst preserving the original idea of the maintainer who designed it (i.e. George Spelvin), which might be undesirable for unit tests, but we assume it is enough for a first patch. This patch (of 5): Currently, there exist hash_32() and __hash_32() functions, which were introduced in a patch [1] targeting architecture specific optimizations. These functions can be overridden on a per-architecture basis to achieve such optimizations. They must set their corresponding define directive (HAVE_ARCH_HASH_32 and HAVE_ARCH__HASH_32, respectively) so that header files can deal with these overrides properly. As the supported 32-bit architectures that have their own hash function implementation (i.e. m68k, Microblaze, H8/300, pa-risc) have only been making use of the (more general) __hash_32() function (which only lacks a right shift operation when compared to the hash_32() function), remove the define directive corresponding to the arch-specific hash_32() implementation.

Currently, the entry->prev and entry->next are considered to be valid as long as they are not LIST_POISON{1|2}. However, the memory may be corrupted. The prev->next is invalid probably because 'prev' is invalid, not because prev->next's content is illegal. Unfortunately, the printk and its subfunctions will modify the registers that hold the 'prev' and 'next', and we don't see this valuable information in the BUG context.

Later, I carefully analyzed the RCU code and the disassembly code. The error occurred when deleting a node from the list rcu_state.gp_wq. The System.map shows that the address of rcu_state is c0840c00. Then I use gdb to obtain the offset of rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list. (gdb) p &((struct rcu_state *)0)->gp_wq.task_list $1 = (struct list_head *) 0x4dc Again: list_del corruption. prev->next should be c0ecbf74, but was c08410dc c08410dc = c0840c00 + 0x4dc = &rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list Because rcu_state.gp_wq has at most one node, so I can guess that "prev = &rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list". But for other scenes, maybe I wasn't so lucky, I cannot figure out the value of 'prev'.

Introduce list_is_head() in the similar (*) way as it's done for list_entry_is_head(). Make use of it in the list.h. *) it's done as inliner and not a macro to be aligned with other list_is_*() APIs; while at it, make all three to have the same style.

When --nogit is used with scripts/get_maintainer.pl, the script spews 4 lines of unnecessary information (noise). Do not print those lines when --nogit is specified. This change removes the printing of these 4 lines: ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl: No supported VCS found. Add --nogit to options? Using a git repository produces better results.

PRIO_PGRP needs the tasklist_lock mainly to serialize vs setpgid(2), to protect against any concurrent change_pid(PIDTYPE_PGID) that can move the task from one hlist to another while iterating. However, the remaining can only rely only on RCU: PRIO_PROCESS only does the task lookup and never iterates over tasklist and we already have an rcu-aware stable pointer. PRIO_USER is already racy vs setuid(2) so with creds being rcu protected, we can end up seeing stale data. When removing the tasklist_lock there can be a race with (i) fork but this is benign as the child's nice is inherited and the new task is not observable by the user yet either, hence the return semantics do not differ. And (ii) a race with exit, which is a small window and can cause us to miss a task which was removed from the list and it had the highest nice. Similarly change the buggy do_each_thread/while_each_thread combo in PRIO_USER for the rcu-safe for_each_process_thread flavor, which doesn't make use of next_thread/p->thread_group.

When I was implementing a new per-cpu kthread cfs_migration, I found the comm of it "cfs_migration/%u" is truncated due to the limitation of TASK_COMM_LEN. For example, the comm of the percpu thread on CPU10~19 all have the same name "cfs_migration/1", which will confuse the user. This issue is not critical, because we can get the corresponding CPU from the task's Cpus_allowed. But for kthreads corresponding to other hardware devices, it is not easy to get the detailed device info from task comm, for example, jbd2/nvme0n1p2- xfs-reclaim/sdf Currently there are so many truncated kthreads: rcu_tasks_kthre rcu_tasks_rude_ rcu_tasks_trace poll_mpt3sas0_s ext4-rsv-conver xfs-reclaim/sd{a, b, c, ...} xfs-blockgc/sd{a, b, c, ...} xfs-inodegc/sd{a, b, c, ...} audit_send_repl ecryptfs-kthrea vfio-irqfd-clea jbd2/nvme0n1p2- ... We can shorten these names to work around this problem, but it may be not applied to all of the truncated kthreads. Take 'jbd2/nvme0n1p2-' for example, it is a nice name, and it is not a good idea to shorten it. One possible way to fix this issue is extending the task comm size, but as task->comm is used in lots of places, that may cause some potential buffer overflows. Another more conservative approach is introducing a new pointer to store kthread's full name if it is truncated, which won't introduce too much overhead as it is in the non-critical path. Finally we make a dicision to use the second approach. See also the discussions in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211101060419.4682-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com/ After this change, the full name of these truncated kthreads will be displayed via /proc/[pid]/comm: rcu_tasks_kthread rcu_tasks_rude_kthread rcu_tasks_trace_kthread poll_mpt3sas0_statu ext4-rsv-conversion xfs-reclaim/sdf1 xfs-blockgc/sdf1 xfs-inodegc/sdf1 audit_send_reply ecryptfs-kthread vfio-irqfd-cleanup jbd2/nvme0n1p2-8 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211120112850.46047-1-laoar.shao@gmail.comSigned-off-by:Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:

As the sched:sched_switch tracepoint args are derived from the kernel, we'd better make it same with the kernel. So the macro TASK_COMM_LEN is converted to type enum, then all the BPF programs can get it through BTF. The BPF program which wants to use TASK_COMM_LEN should include the header vmlinux.h. Regarding the test_stacktrace_map and test_tracepoint, as the type defined in linux/bpf.h are also defined in vmlinux.h, so we don't need to include linux/bpf.h again.

It is better to use get_task_comm() instead of the open coded string copy as we do in other places. struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace coredump or kernel vmcore.
