The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any of these in source files." I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one. Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups. It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it. If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object is required to debug futher. In most of cases the object address is present in one of the registers. Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its alloc and free path. e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f .... pc : [<c0538afc>] lr : [<c0465674>] psr: 60000013 sp : c8927d40 ip : ffffefff fp : c8aa8020 r10: c8927e10 r9 : 00000001 r8 : 00400cc0 r7 : 00000000 r6 : c8ab0180 r5 : c1804a80 r4 : c8aa8008 r3 : c1a5661c r2 : 00000000 r1 : 6b6b6b6b r0 : c139bf48 .....

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[] string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1] When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is a waste of time. This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such (known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer. For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting reset. [1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3. These two patches are independent, but better-together. The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the initramfs unpacking. The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread, allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_ initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any places I have missed. There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating most of the first benefit). This patch (of 2): Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread. This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the watchdog much sooner. Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel, my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M. That takes almost two seconds: [ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs() finished. Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_ and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this completely safe. But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(), call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later. Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change, so there are W=2 warnings kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to nothing. This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value, but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk() arguments end up being evaluated.

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the region. However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region() another thread may have already reserved the requested region. This results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from hitting this condition: /* * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then * become unavailable to other users. Conflicts are * not expected. Warn to aid debugging if encountered. */ if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) { pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR", conflict->name, conflict, res); These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior to taking the lock.

It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However, this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example, inside device containers. IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM and just a special type of IORESOURCE_MEM. The function walk_mem_res() only considers the first level and is used in arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only. We currently fail to identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as "IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such "normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller(). Let's find all IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the function behave similar to walk_system_ram_res().

Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2. Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the elf header for kdump. Looking into the details, the logic used in walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated. walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up. Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ... will result in the kdump kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now. Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem. This patch (of 3): It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However, this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example, inside device containers. We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only consideres the first level: a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No change. b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them not getting dumped via kdump. This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on x86-64. Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore, always considers all added System RAM already.

arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address. While running in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace. So if the upper bit is not 1 (not TTBR1), the current address is invalid. This patch checks the upper bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return the derefrence of current task. Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users they are running in userspace(EL0). While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2. lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86 only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64. This patch (of 2): x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task: arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task); x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned = x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task); x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task; x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task); x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle; On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception: (gdb) p $lx_current().pid Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.: Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context. To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures, document it.

If we store the relative path, the user might later cd to a different directory, and that would break the automatic symbol resolving that happens when a module is loaded into the target kernel. Fix this by storing the abspath() of each path given, just like we already do for the cwd (os.getcwd() is absolute.)

When I was implementing a latency analyzer tool by using task->delays and other things, I found an issue in delayacct. The issue is it should clear the target's flag instead of current's in delayacct_blkio_end(). When I git blame delayacct, I found there're some similar issues we have fixed in delayacct_blkio_end(). - Commit c96f5471 ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task") fixed the issue that it should account blkio completion on the target task instead of current. - Commit b512719f ("delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end() after delayacct init failure") fixed the issue that it should check target task's delays instead of current task'. It seems that delayacct_blkio_{begin, end} are error prone. So I introduce a new paratmeter - the target task 'p' - to these helpers. After that change, the callsite will specifilly set the right task, which should make it less error prone. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210414083720.24083-1-laoar.shao@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Using vmalloc() in gcov is really quite wasteful, many of the objects allocated are really small (e.g. I've seen 24 bytes.)

kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(), machine_halt(), and machine_power_off(). The only one that is missing is machine_kexec().
