Commit 97f2645f ("tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()") mostly killed config_enabled(), but some new users have appeared for v4.8-rc1. They are all used for a boolean option, so can be replaced with IS_ENABLED() safely.

Commit bbeddf52 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into _braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char* to char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated to memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4). Update the code to make "brl=" option work again and replace memcmp() with strncmp() to make the compiler able to detect such an issue.

While adding proper userfaultfd_wp support with bits in pagetable and swap entry to avoid false positives WP userfaults through swap/fork/ KSM/etc, I've been adding a framework that mostly mirrors soft dirty. So I noticed in one place I had to add uffd_wp support to the pagetables that wasn't covered by soft_dirty and I think it should have. Example: in the THP migration code migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() pmd_mkdirty is called unconditionally after mk_huge_pmd. entry = mk_huge_pmd(new_page, vma->vm_page_prot); entry = maybe_pmd_mkwrite(pmd_mkdirty(entry), vma); That sets soft dirty too (it's a false positive for soft dirty, the soft dirty bit could be more finegrained and transfer the bit like uffd_wp will do.. pmd/pte_uffd_wp() enforces the invariant that when it's set pmd/pte_write is not set). However in the THP split there's no unconditional pmd_mkdirty after mk_huge_pmd and pte_swp_mksoft_dirty isn't called after the migration entry is created. The code sets the dirty bit in the struct page instead of setting it in the pagetable (which is fully equivalent as far as the real dirty bit is concerned, as the whole point of pagetable bits is to be eventually flushed out of to the page, but that is not equivalent for the soft-dirty bit that gets lost in translation). This was found by code review only and totally untested as I'm working to actually replace soft dirty and I don't have time to test potential soft dirty bugfixes as well :). Transfer the soft_dirty from pmd to pte during THP splits. This fix avoids losing the soft_dirty bit and avoids userland memory corruption in the checkpoint.

We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels. An entry which we write to here is xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32. echo 4294967295 > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth Commit 230633d1 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers. Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively, we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit. static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table { i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32) vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64. Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries will need to be updated to use the new handler.

Although sparse declares __builtin_bswap*(), it can't actually do constant folding inside them (yet). As such, things like switch (protocol) { case htons(ETH_P_IP): break; } which we do all over the place cause sparse to warn that it expects a constant instead of a function call.

check_bogus_address() checked for pointer overflow using this expression, where 'ptr' has type 'const void *': ptr + n < ptr Since pointer wraparound is undefined behavior, gcc at -O2 by default treats it like the following, which would not behave as intended: (long)n < 0 Fortunately, this doesn't currently happen for kernel code because kernel code is compiled with -fno-strict-overflow. But the expression should be fixed anyway to use well-defined integer arithmetic, since it could be treated differently by different compilers in the future or could be reported by tools checking for undefined behavior.

Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij: "Here are a few GPIO fixes for v4.8. I was expecting some fallout from the new chardev rework but nothing like that turned up att all. Instead a Kconfig confusion that I think I have finally nailed, then some ordinary driver noise and trivia. This fixes a Kconfig issue with UM: when I made GPIOLIB available to all archs, that included UM, but the OF part of GPIOLIB requires HAS_IOMEM, so we add HAS_IOMEM as a dependency to OF_GPIO. This in turn exposed the fact that a few GPIO drivers were implicitly assuming OF_GPIO as their dependency but instead depended on OF alone (the typical problem being a pointer inside gpio_chip not existing unless OF_GPIO is selected) and then UM would fail to compile with these drivers instead. Then I lost patience and made any GPIO driver depending on just OF depend on OF_GPIO instead, that is certainly what they meant and the only thing that makes sense anyway. GPIO with just OF but !OF_GPIO does not make sense. Also a fix for the max730x driver data pointer, and a minor comment fix for the GPIO tools" * tag 'gpio-v4.8-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: make any OF dependent driver depend on OF_GPIO gpio: Fix OF build problem on UM gpio: max730x: set gpiochip data pointer before using it tools/gpio: fix gpio-event-mon header comment

This is an entirely new driver instead of yet another set of patches to sb_edac.c because: 1) Mapping from PCI devices to socket/memory controller is significantly different. Skylake scatters devices on a socket across a number of PCI buses. 2) There is an extra level of interleaving via the "mcroute" register that would be a little messy to squeeze into the old driver. 3) Validation is getting too expensive. Changes to sb_edac need to be checked against Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell and Knights Landing.

When building gccgo in userspace, errno.h gets parsed and the go include file sysinfo.go is generated. Since EREFUSED is defined to the same value as ECONNREFUSED, and ECONNREFUSED is defined later on in errno.h, this leads to go complaining that EREFUSED isn't defined yet. Fix this trivial problem by moving the define of EREFUSED down after ECONNREFUSED in errno.h (and clean up the indenting while touching this line).

The kernel test robot reported a usercopy failure in the new hardened sanity checks, due to a page-crossing copy of the FPU state into the task structure. This happened because the kernel test robot was testing with SLOB, which doesn't actually do the required book-keeping for slab allocations, and as a result the hardening code didn't realize that the task struct allocation was one single allocation - and the sanity checks fail. Since SLOB doesn't even claim to support hardening (and you really shouldn't use it), the straightforward solution is to just make the usercopy hardening code depend on the allocator supporting it.

| CC mm/memory.o | In file included from ../mm/memory.c:53:0: | ../include/linux/pfn_t.h: In function ‘pfn_t_pte’: | ../include/linux/pfn_t.h:78:2: error: conversion to non-scalar type requested | return pfn_pte(pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn), pgprot); With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning. Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs (which pte_t would become) Quoting from ARC ABI... "Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary variable whose address is passed in r0. For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are passed in r1 and up." So - struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra code at call sites - callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple MOV into return reg r0) Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #4.4+ Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall implies userland caller and kernel callee. The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we have plenty anyways). This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction. Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in terms of gcc code generation. In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards is used for building the kernel. This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with new tools/user-space Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

User mode callee regs are explicitly collected before signal delivery or breakpoint trap. r25 is special for kernel as it serves as task pointer, so user mode value is clobbered very early. It is saved in pt_regs where generally only scratch (aka caller saved) regs are saved. The code to access the corresponding pt_regs location had a subtle bug as it was using load/store with scaling of offset, whereas the offset was already byte wise correct. So fix this by replacing LD.AS with a standard LD Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Liav Rehana <liavr@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> [vgupta: rewrote title and commit log] Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
