gcc-4.9 on ARM gives us a mysterious warning about the binfmt_misc parse_command function: fs/binfmt_misc.c: In function 'parse_command.part.3': fs/binfmt_misc.c:405:7: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] I've managed to trace this back to the ARM implementation of memset, which is called from copy_from_user in case of a fault and which does #define memset(p,v,n) \ ({ \ void *__p = (p); size_t __n = n; \ if ((__n) != 0) { \ if (__builtin_constant_p((v)) && (v) == 0) \ __memzero((__p),(__n)); \ else \ memset((__p),(v),(__n)); \ } \ (__p); \ }) Apparently gcc gets confused by the check for "size != 0" and believes that the size might be zero when it gets to the line that does "if (s[count-1] == '\n')", so it would access data outside of the array. gcc is clearly wrong here, since this condition was already checked earlier in the function and the 'size' value can not change in the meantime. Fortunately, we can work around it and get rid of the warning by rearranging the function to check for zero size after doing the copy_from_user. It is still safe to pass a zero size into copy_from_user, so it does not cause any side effects. Signed-off-by:Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by:

The current code places a 256 byte limit on the registration format. This ends up being fairly limited when you try to do matching against a binary format like ELF: - the magic & mask formats cannot have any embedded NUL chars (string_unescape_inplace halts at the first NUL) - each escape sequence quadruples the size: \x00 is needed for NUL - trying to match bytes at the start of the file as well as further on leads to a lot of \x00 sequences in the mask - magic & mask have to be the same length (when decoded) - still need bytes for the other fields - impossible! Let's look at a concrete (and common) example: using QEMU to run MIPS ELFs. The name field uses 11 bytes "qemu-mipsel". The interp uses 20 bytes "/usr/bin/qemu-mipsel". The type & flags takes up 4 bytes. We need 7 bytes for the delimiter (usually ":"). We can skip offset. So already we're down to 107 bytes to use with the magic/mask instead of the real limit of 128 (BINPRM_BUF_SIZE). If people use shell code to register (which they do the majority of the time), they're down to ~26 possible bytes since the escape sequence must be \x##. The ELF format looks like (both 32 & 64 bit): e_ident: 16 bytes e_type: 2 bytes e_machine: 2 bytes Those 20 bytes are enough for most architectures because they have so few formats in the first place, thus they can be uniquely identified. That also means for shell users, since 20 is smaller than 26, they can sanely register a handler. But for some targets (like MIPS), we need to poke further. The ELF fields continue on: e_entry: 4 or 8 bytes e_phoff: 4 or 8 bytes e_shoff: 4 or 8 bytes e_flags: 4 bytes We only care about e_flags here as that includes the bits to identify whether the ELF is O32/N32/N64. But now we have to consume another 16 bytes (for 32 bit ELFs) or 28 bytes (for 64 bit ELFs) just to match the flags. If every byte is escaped, we send 288 more bytes to the kernel ((20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 12 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} + 4 {e_flags}) * 2 {mask,magic} * 4 {escape}) and we've clearly blown our budget. Even if we try to be clever and do the decoding ourselves (rather than relying on the kernel to process \x##), we still can't hit the mark -- string_unescape_inplace treats mask & magic as C strings so NUL cannot be embedded. That leaves us with having to pass \x00 for the 12/24 entry/phoff/shoff bytes (as those will be completely random addresses), and that is a minimum requirement of 48/96 bytes for the mask alone. Add up the rest and we blow through it (this is for 64 bit ELFs): magic: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 24 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} + 4 {e_flags} = 48 # ^^ See note below. mask: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 96 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} + 4 {e_flags} = 120 Remember above we had 107 left over, and now we're at 168. This is of course the *best* case scenario -- you'll also want to have NUL bytes in the magic & mask too to match literal zeros. Note: the reason we can use 24 in the magic is that we can work off of the fact that for bytes the mask would clobber, we can stuff any value into magic that we want. So when mask is \x00, we don't need the magic to also be \x00, it can be an unescaped raw byte like '!'. This lets us handle more formats (barely) under the current 256 limit, but that's a pretty tall hoop to force people to jump through. With all that said, let's bump the limit from 256 bytes to 1920. This way we support escaping every byte of the mask & magic field (which is 1024 bytes by themselves -- 128 * 4 * 2), and we leave plenty of room for other fields. Like long paths to the interpreter (when you have source in your /really/long/homedir/qemu/foo). Since the current code stuffs more than one structure into the same buffer, we leave a bit of space to easily round up to 2k. 1920 is just as arbitrary as 256 ;). Signed-off-by: -

Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list. Several false positives were removed, and several additional words added that were common in the kernel: backword backwords invalide valide recieves singed unsinged While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to read as any flow movement is unexpected. Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition. Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the function name definition like: #define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type) \ rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...) \ { \ rtn_type rtn; \ [code...] \ return rtn; \ } Signed-off-by: -

The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel module. Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to indicate it. switch (*value) { case 'n': break; case 'm': suffix = "_MODULE"; /* fall through */ This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent use of the "_MODULE" suffix. This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to "TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.

The prio_heap code is unused since commit 889ed9ce ("cgroup: remove css_scan_tasks()"). It should be compiled out to shrink the binary kernel size which can be done via introducing CONFIG_PRIO_HEAD or by removing the code. We can simply recover the code from git when needed, so it would be better to remove it IMO. Signed-off-by:

Commit 458df9fd ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message. However it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now ends up in the middle of the output: [sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf(). The prefix is useless since 458df9fd anyway since from that moment printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer immediately. So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for any special prefix. And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation any better. Link: http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/14/4Signed-off-by:

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align order is larger than cma->order_per_bit. Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to 6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as the expected align value. After using the current implementation however, we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511. This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Commit bf0dea23 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache") changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to 0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment. Following bug report is reported from David Miller. I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64: [603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0 [603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0 ...
