      nilfs2: fix WARNING in mark_buffer_dirty due to discarded buffer reuse · cdaac8e7
      Ryusuke Konishi authored 
      A syzbot stress test using a corrupted disk image reported that
mark_buffer_dirty() called from __nilfs_mark_inode_dirty() or
nilfs_palloc_commit_alloc_entry() may output a kernel warning, and can
panic if the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn.

This is because nilfs2 keeps buffer pointers in local structures for some
metadata and reuses them, but such buffers may be forcibly discarded by
nilfs_clear_dirty_page() in some critical situations.

This issue is reported to appear after commit 28a65b49 ("nilfs2: do
not write dirty data after degenerating to read-only"), but the issue has
potentially existed before.

Fix this issue by checking the uptodate flag when attempting to reuse an
internally held buffer, and reloading the metadata instead of reusing the
buffer if the flag was lost.

      scripts/bloat-o-meter: count weak symbol sizes · 198430f7
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored 
      Currently, bloat-o-meter does not take into account weak symbols, and
thus ignores any size changes in code or data marked __weak.

Fix this by handling weak code ("w"/"W") and data ("v"/"V").

      lockdep: fix static memory detection even more · 0a6b58c5
      Helge Deller authored 
      On the parisc architecture, lockdep reports for all static objects which
are in the __initdata section (e.g. "setup_done" in devtmpfs,
"kthreadd_done" in init/main.c) this warning:

	INFO: trying to register non-static key.

The warning itself is wrong, because those objects are in the __initdata
section, but the section itself is on parisc outside of range from
_stext to _end, which is why the static_obj() functions returns a wrong
answer.

While fixing this issue, I noticed that the whole existing check can
be simplified a lot.
Instead of checking against the _stext and _end symbols (which include
code areas too) just check for the .data and .bss segments (since we check a
data object). This can be done with the existing is_kernel_core_data()
macro.

In addition objects in the __initdata section can be checked with
init_section_contains(), and is_kernel_rodata() allows keys to be in the
_ro_after_init section.

This partly reverts and simplifies commit bac59d18 ("x86/setup: Fix static
memory detection").

      lib/vsprintf: split out sprintf() and friends · 39ced19b
      Andy Shevchenko authored 
      Patch series "lib/vsprintf: Rework header inclusions", v3.

Some patches that reduce the mess with the header inclusions related to
vsprintf.c module.  Each patch has its own description, and has no
dependencies to each other, except the collisions over modifications of
the same places.  Hence the series.


This patch (of 2):

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. 
sprintf() and friends are used in many drivers without need of the full
kernel.h dependency train with it.

Here is the attempt on cleaning it up by splitting out sprintf() and
friends.

      kernel/fork: stop playing lockless games for exe_file replacement · a7031f14
      Mateusz Guzik authored 
      xchg originated in 6e399cd1 ("prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file
serialization").  While the commit message does not explain *why* the
change, I found the original submission [1] which ultimately claims it
cleans things up by removing dependency of exe_file on the semaphore.

However, fe69d560 ("kernel/fork: always deny write access to current
MM exe_file") added a semaphore up/down cycle to synchronize the state of
exe_file against fork, defeating the point of the original change.

This is on top of semaphore trips already present both in the replacing
function and prctl (the only consumer).

Normally replacing exe_file does not happen for busy processes, thus
write-locking is not an impediment to performance in the intended use
case.  If someone keeps invoking the routine for a busy processes they are
trying to play dirty and that's another reason to avoid any trickery.

As such I think the atomic here only adds complexity for no benefit.

Just write-lock around the replacement.

I also note that replacement races against the mapping check loop as
nothing synchronizes actual assignment with with said checks but I am not
addressing it in this patch.  (Is the loop of any use to begin with?)

      Kuan-Ying Lee authored 
      When we get an text address from coredump and we cannot find
this address in vmlinux, it might located in kernel module.

We want to know which kernel module it located in.

This GDB scripts can help us to find the target kernel module.

(gdb) lx-getmod-by-textaddr 0xffff800002d305ac
0xffff800002d305ac is in kasan_test.ko

      scripts/gdb/symbols: add specific ko module load command · 11f95653
      Kuan-Ying Lee authored 
      Patch series "Add GDB memory helper commands", v2.

I've created some GDB commands I think useful when I debug some memory
issues and kernel module issue.

For memory issue, we would like to get slabinfo, slabtrace, page_owner and
vmallocinfo to debug the memory issues.

For module issue, we would like to query kernel module name when we get a
module text address and load module symbol by specific path.

Patch 1-2:
 - Add kernel module related command.
Patch 3-5:
 - Prepares for the memory-related command.
Patch 6-8:
 - Add memory-related commands.


This patch (of 8):

Add lx-symbols <ko_path> command to support add specific
ko module.

Example output like below:
(gdb) lx-symbols mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko
loading @0xffff800002d30000: mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko

      checkpatch: special case extern struct in .c · 5b2c7334
      Jim Cromie authored 
      "externs should be avoided in .c files" needs an exception for linker
symbols, like those that mark the start, stop of many kernel sections.

Since checkpatch already checks REALNAME to avoid looking at fragments
changing vmlinux.lds.h, add a new else-if block to look at them
instead.  As a simple heuristic, treat all words (in the patch-line)
as possible symbols, to screen later warnings.

For my test case, the possible-symbols included BOUNDED_BY (a macro),
which is extra, but not troublesome - these are just to screen
WARNINGS that might be issued on later fragments (changing .c files)

Where the WARN is issued, precede it with an else-if block to catch
one common extern-in-c use case: "extern struct foo bar[]".  Here we
can at least issue a softer warning, after checking for a match with a
maybe-linker-symbol parsed earlier from the patch.

Though heuristic, it worked for my test-case, allowing both start__,
stop__ $symbol's (wo the prefixes specifically named).  I've coded it
narrowly, it can be expanded later to cover any other expressions.

It does require that the externs in .c's have the additions to
vmlinux.lds.h in the same patch.  And requires vmlinux.lds.h before .c
fragments.
