2020-06-04get_maintainer: fix unexpected behavior for path/to//file (double slashes)Joe Perches1-0/+2
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. For example: (with double slash) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm//lima David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS,commit_signer:3/42=7%) Qiang Yu <yuq825@gmail.com> (commit_signer:36/42=86%,authored:24/42=57%) Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul@gmail.com> (commit_signer:26/42=62%) Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org> (commit_signer:5/42=12%,authored:5/42=12%) Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com> (commit_signer:4/42=10%) dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) (without double slash) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/lima Qiang Yu <yuq825@gmail.com> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) lima@lists.freedesktop.org (moderated list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) So reduce consecutive double slashes to a single slash by using File::Spec->canonpath(). from: https://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html canonpath() No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path. On UNIX eliminates successive slashes and successive "/.".

2020-06-04get_maintainer: add email addresses from .yaml filesJoe Perches1-15/+29
.yaml files can contain maintainer/author addresses and it seems unlikely or unnecessary that individual MAINTAINER file section entries for each .yaml file will be created. So add the email addresses found in .yaml files to the default get_maintainer output. The email addresses are marked with "(in file)" when using the "--roles" or "--rolestats" options.

2020-05-31checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warningJoe Perches1-5/+9
Yes, staying withing 80 columns is certainly still _preferred_. But it's not the hard limit that the checkpatch warnings imply, and other concerns can most certainly dominate. Increase the default limit to 100 characters. Not because 100 characters is some hard limit either, but that's certainly a "what are you doing" kind of value and less likely to be about the occasional slightly longer lines.

2020-05-19vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentationThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons: - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86. - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it. Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked. Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later. Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end() These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe. The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

2020-05-11checkpatch: warn about uses of ENOTSUPPJakub Kicinski1-0/+11
ENOTSUPP often feels like the right error code to use, but it's in fact not a standard Unix error. E.g.: $ python >>> import errno >>> errno.errorcode[errno.ENOTSUPP] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: module 'errno' has no attribute 'ENOTSUPP' There were numerous commits converting the uses back to EOPNOTSUPP but in some cases we are stuck with the high error code for backward compatibility reasons. Let's try prevent more ENOTSUPPs from getting into the kernel. Recent example: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510182252.GA411829@lunn.ch/ v3 (Joe): - fix the "not file" condition. v2 (Joe): - add a link to recent discussion, - don't match when scanning files, not patches to avoid sudden influx of conversion patches. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200511165319.2251678-1-kuba@kernel.org/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510185148.2230767-1-kuba@kernel.org/ Suggested-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-05-09bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpersYonghong Song1-0/+2
Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

Due to a bug-report that was compiler-dependent, I updated one of my machines to gcc-10. That shows a lot of new warnings. Happily they seem to be mostly the valid kind, but it's going to cause a round of churn for getting rid of them.. This is the really low-hanging fruit of removing a couple of zero-sized arrays in some core code. We have had a round of these patches before, and we'll have many more coming, and there is nothing special about these except that they were particularly trivial, and triggered more warnings than most.

Right now, it causes a warning: ./drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c:606: WARNING: Inline strong start-string without end-string. In this specific case, the kernel-doc markup is: /** * fw_core_remove_address_handler() - unregister an address handler * @handler: callback * * To be called in process context. * * When fw_core_remove_address_handler() returns, @handler->callback() is * guaranteed to not run on any CPU anymore. */ With seems valid on my eyes.

When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer argument. For instance: long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn) (void *, void * arg) in driver-api/basics.html is missing a ')' separating the "void *" of the 'fn' arguments from the ", void * arg" which is an argument to work_on_cpu(). Add the missing close-paren, so that we render the prototype correctly: long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn)(void *), void * arg) (Note that Sphinx stops rendering a space between the '(fn*)' and the '(void *)' once it gets something that's syntactically valid.)

2020-04-09kbuild: add dummy toolchains to enable all cc-option etc. in KconfigMasahiro Yamada4-0/+123
Staring v4.18, Kconfig evaluates compiler capabilities, and hides CONFIG options your compiler does not support. This works well if you configure and build the kernel on the same host machine. It is inconvenient if you prepare the .config that is carried to a different build environment (typically this happens when you package the kernel for distros) because using a different compiler potentially produces different CONFIG options than the real build environment. So, you probably want to make as many options visible as possible. In other words, you need to create a super-set of CONFIG options that cover any build environment. If some of the CONFIG options turned out to be unsupported on the build machine, they are automatically disabled by the nature of Kconfig. However, it is not feasible to get a full-featured compiler for every arch. This issue was discussed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/9/620 Other than distros, savedefconfig is also a problem. Some arch sub-systems periodically resync defconfig files. If you use a less-capable compiler for savedefconfig, options that do not meet 'depends on $(cc-option,...)' will be forcibly disabled. So, 'make defconfig && make savedefconfig' may silently change the behavior. This commit adds a set of dummy toolchains that pretend to support any feature. Most of compiler features are tested by cc-option, which simply checks the exit code of $(CC). The dummy tools are shell scripts that always exit with 0. So, $(cc-option, ...) is evaluated as 'y'. There are more complicated checks such as: scripts/gcc-x86_{32,64}-has-stack-protector.sh scripts/gcc-plugin.sh scripts/tools-support-relr.sh scripts/dummy-tools/gcc passes all checks. From the top directory of the source tree, you can do: $ make CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ oldconfig Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jeremy Cline <jcline@redhat.com>
2020-04-09kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=yMasahiro Yamada1-17/+0
Kbuild supports not only obj-y but also lib-y to list objects linked to vmlinux. The difference between them is that all the objects from obj-y are forcibly linked to vmlinux, whereas the objects from lib-y are linked as needed; if there is no user of a lib-y object, it is not linked. lib-y is intended to list utility functions that may be called from all over the place (and may be unused at all), but it is a problem for EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Even if there is no call-site in the vmlinux, we need to keep exported symbols for the use from loadable modules. Commit 7f2084fa55e6 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably") worked around it by linking a dummy object, lib-ksyms.o, which contains references to all the symbols exported from lib.a in that directory. It uses the linker script command, EXTERN. Unfortunately, the meaning of EXTERN of ld.lld is different from that of ld.bfd. Therefore, this does not work with LD=ld.lld (CBL issue #515). Anyway, the build rule of lib-ksyms.o is somewhat tricky. So, I want to get rid of it. At first, I was thinking of accumulating lib-y objects into obj-y (or even replacing lib-y with obj-y entirely), but the lib-y syntax is used beyond the ordinary use in lib/ and arch/*/lib/. Examples: - drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds lib.a, which is linked into vmlinux in the own way (arm64), or linked to the decompressor (arm, x86). - arch/alpha/lib/Makefile builds lib.a which is linked not only to vmlinux, but also to bootloaders in arch/alpha/boot/Makefile. - arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile builds lib.a for use from arch/xtensa/boot/boot-redboot/Makefile. One more thing, adding everything to obj-y would increase the vmlinux size of allnoconfig (or tinyconfig). For less impact, I tweaked the destination of lib.a at the top Makefile; when CONFIG_MODULES=y, lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS, which is forcibly linked to vmlinux, otherwise lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS as before. The size impact for normal usecases is quite small since at lease one symbol in every lib-y object is eventually called by someone. In case you are intrested, here are the figures. x86_64_defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename 19566602 5422072 1589328 26578002 1958c52 vmlinux.before 19566932 5422104 1589328 26578364 1958dbc vmlinux.after The case with the biggest impact is allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y. ARCH=x86 allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y: text data bss dec hex filename 1175162 254740 1220608 2650510 28718e vmlinux.before 1177974 254836 1220608 2653418 287cea vmlinux.after Hopefully this is still not a big deal. The per-file trimming with the static library is not so effective after all. If fine-grained optimization is desired, some architectures support CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which trims dead code per-symbol basis. When LTO is supported in mainline, even better optimization will be possible.
