2016-11-29kbuild/genksyms: handle va_list typeNicholas Piggin2-0/+3
genksyms currently does not handle va_list. Add the __builtin_va_list keyword as a type. This reduces the amount of syntax errors thrown, but so far no export symbol has a type with a va_list argument, so there is currently no bug in the end result. Note: this patch does not regenerate shipped parser files. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.com>
2016-11-29kbuild: thin archives for multi-y targetsNicholas Piggin1-3/+10

2016-11-29kbuild: kallsyms allow 3-pass generation if symbols size has changedNicholas Piggin1-6/+13
kallsyms generation is not foolproof, due to some linkers adding symbols (e.g., branch trampolines) when a binary size changes. Have it attempt a 3rd pass automatically if the kallsyms size changes in the 2nd pass. This allows powerpc64 allyesconfig to build without adding another pass when it's not required. This can be solved other ways by directing the linker not to add labels on branch stubs, or to move kallsyms near the end of the image. The former is undesirable for debugging/tracing, and the latter is a more significant change that requires more testing and review.

Kirill reported that the decode_stacktrace.sh script was broken by the following commit: bb5e5ce545f2 ("x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump") Fix it by updating the per-line absolute address check to also check for function-based address lines like the following: write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 I didn't remove the check for absolute addresses because it's still needed for ARM.

2016-11-16kernel-doc: add support for one line inline struct member doc commentsJani Nikula1-1/+11
kernel-doc supports documenting struct members "inline" since a4c6ebede2f9 ("scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body"). This requires the inline kernel-doc comments to have the opening and closing comment markers (/** and */ respectively) on lines of their own, even for short comments. For example: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** * @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Add support for one line inline comments: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Note that mixing of the two in one doc comment is not allowed; either both comment markers must be on lines of their own, or both must be on the one line. This limitation keeps both the comments more uniform, and kernel-doc less complicated.

2016-11-16Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keywordNicolas Pitre5-19/+79
The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come with the "select" keyword. This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers. Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with: config DRIVER_A tristate config DRIVER_B tristate config DRIVER_C tristate config DRIVER_D tristate [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...] This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers. Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select" keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence this "imply" keyword. The above becomes: config DRIVER_A tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X config DRIVER_B tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

Merge fixes for -Wmaybe-uninitialized from Arnd Bergmann: "It took a while for some patches to make it into mainline through maintainer trees, but the 28-patch series is now reduced to 10, with one tiny patch added at the end. Aside from patches that are no longer required, I did these changes compared to version 1: - Dropped "iio: maxim_thermocouple: detect invalid storage size in read()", which is currently in linux-next as commit 32cb7d27e65d. This is the only remaining warning I see for a couple of corner cases (kbuild bot reports it on blackfin, kernelci bot and arm-soc bot both report it on arm64) - Dropped "brcmfmac: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning in brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap", which is currently in net/master merge pending. - Dropped two x86 patches, "x86: math-emu: possible uninitialized variable use" and "x86: mark target address as output in 'insb' asm" as they do not seem to trigger for a default build, and I got no feedback on them. Both of these are ancient issues and seem harmless, I will send them again to the x86 maintainers once the rest is merged. - Dropped "rbd: false-postive gcc-4.9 -Wmaybe-uninitialized" based on feedback from Ilya Dryomov, who already has a different fix queued up for v4.10. The kbuild bot reports this as a warning for xtensa. - Replaced "crypto: aesni: avoid -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning" with a simpler patch, this one always triggers but my first solution would not be safe for linux-4.9 any more at this point. I'll follow up with the larger patch as a cleanup for 4.10. - Replaced "dib0700: fix nec repeat handling" with a better one, contributed by Sean Young" * -Wmaybe-uninitialized fixes: Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings by default pcmcia: fix return value of soc_pcmcia_regulator_set infiniband: shut up a maybe-uninitialized warning crypto: aesni: shut up -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning rc: print correct variable for z8f0811 dib0700: fix nec repeat handling s390: pci: don't print uninitialized data for debugging nios2: fix timer initcall return value x86: apm: avoid uninitialized data NFSv4.1: work around -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"

2016-11-11Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"Arnd Bergmann2-0/+7
Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases [2]. Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false positives, and in commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig' builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed. With commit 877417e6ffb9 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7 and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings for ARM randconfig builds. However, commit 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for correct code that is safe because it is only called under external constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees, and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can obviously never happen. I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch the actual bugs earlier. This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because of false-positives.

2016-11-09kbuild: be more careful about matching preprocessed asm ___EXPORT_SYMBOLNicholas Piggin1-2/+2
The CRC code for asm exports grabs the preprocessed asm, finds the ___EXPORT_SYMBOL and turns those into EXPORT_SYMBOL in a C program that can be preprocessed and parsed to create the CRC signatures from the type. The existing regex matching and replacement is too strict, and doesn't deal well with whitespace among other things. The line " EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym)" in a .S file would not match due to initial whitespace, for example, which resulted in x86's ___preempt_schedule failing to get CRCs.

2016-10-25scripts/faddr2line: Fix "size mismatch" errorJosh Poimboeuf1-12/+21
I'm not sure how we missed this problem before. When I take a function address and size from an oops and give it to faddr2line, it usually complains about a size mismatch: $ scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 skipping write_sysrq_trigger address at 0xffffffff815731a1 due to size mismatch (0x60 != 83) no match for write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 The problem is caused by differences in how kallsyms and faddr2line determine a function's size. kallsyms calculates a function's size by parsing the output of 'nm -n' and subtracting the next function's address from the current function's address. This means that nop instructions after the end of the function are included in the size. In contrast, faddr2line reads the size from the symbol table, which does *not* include the ending nops in the function's size. Change faddr2line to calculate the size from the output of 'nm -n' to be consistent with kallsyms and oops outputs.

Add flags needed by omnicppcomplete(#2) to have completion on member of structure. 1: https://github.com/vim-scripts/omnicppcomplete 2: https://github.com/vim-scripts/OmniCppComplete/blob/master/doc/omnicppcomplete.txt#L93 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160830191546.4469-1-mathieu.maret@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Mathieu Maret <mathieu.maret@gmail.com> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-10-11checkpatch: improve the octal permissions testsJoe Perches1-16/+44
The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines. The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches. Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span multiple lines. Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list. Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO> permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names. This can now find and fix permissions uses like: .mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b51bab60530912aae4ac420119d465c5b206f19f.1475030406.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: Ramiro Oliveira <roliveir@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-10-11checkpatch: add warning for unnamed function definition argumentsJoe Perches1-0/+13
Function definitions without identifiers like int foo(int) are not preferred. Emit a warning when they occur.

2016-10-11checkpatch: improve MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE testJoe Perches1-1/+19
It is possible for a multiple line macro definition to have a false positive report when an argument is used on a line after a continuation \. This line might have a leading '+' as the initial character that could be confused by checkpatch as an operator. Avoid the leading character on multiple line macro definitions.

2016-10-11checkpatch: add --strict test for precedence challenged macro argumentsJoe Perches1-1/+8
Add a test for macro arguents that have a non-comma leading or trailing operator where the argument isn't parenthesized to avoid possible precedence issues. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/47715508972f8d786f435e583ff881dbeee3a114.1473745855.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-10-11checkpatch: add --strict test for macro argument reuseJoe Perches1-8/+35
If a macro argument is used multiple times in the macro definition, the macro argument may have an unexpected side-effect. Add a test (MACRO_ARG_REUSE) for that condition which is only emitted with command-line option --strict.

2016-10-11checkpatch: improve the block comment * alignment testJoe Perches1-7/+12
An "uninitialized value" is emitted when a block comment starts on the same line as a statement. Fix this and make the test use a little fewer cpu cycles too.

2016-10-11checkpatch: speed up checking for filenames in sections marked obsoleteJoe Perches1-1/+1
Adding -f to the get_maintainer.pl invocation means git isn't invoked by get_maintainer.pl for known filenames. This reduces the overall time to run checkpatch.

2016-10-11const_structs.checkpatch: add frequently used from Julia Lawall's listJoe Perches1-0/+25
Using const is generally a good idea. Julia Lawall has created a list of always const and almost always const structs in the kernel sources.

2016-10-11checkpatch: look for symbolic permissions and suggest octal insteadJoe Perches1-6/+43
S_<FOO> uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible. Linus didst say: : It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the : symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to : understand. You really have to think about it. : : So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic : permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers. : : The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the : inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic : names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the : kernel, not in user space.
