When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like this: [23153.208033] .base: pK-error with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works: [23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540 The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though. Reported-by:

Now that all KERN_<LEVEL> uses are prefixed with ASCII SOH, there is no need for a KERN_CONT. Keep it backward compatible by adding #define KERN_CONT "" Reduces kernel image size a thousand bytes. Signed-off-by:

Instead of "<.>", use an ASCII SOH for the KERN_<LEVEL> prefix initiator. This saves 1 byte per printk, thousands of bytes in a normal kernel. No output changes are produced as vprintk_emit converts these uses to "<.>". Signed-off-by:

Use the generic printk_get_level() to search a message for a kern_level. Add __printf to verify format and arguments. Fix a few messages that had mismatches in format and arguments. Add #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK blocks to shrink the object size a bit when not using printk. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: whitespace tweak] Signed-off-by:

Joe Perches authored
The current form of a KERN_<LEVEL> is "<.>". Add printk_get_level and printk_skip_level functions to handle these formats. These functions centralize tests of KERN_<LEVEL> so a future modification can change the KERN_<LEVEL> style and shorten the number of bytes consumed by these headers.

On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin waiting to be shut down. However, this causes a regression in this scenario: 1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock and proceeds with the panic processing. 2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters an error condition and invokes panic. 3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop. Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop. To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular problem. Signed-off-by:

clk_get() returns -ENOENT on error and some careless caller might dereference it without error checking: In mxc_rnga_remove(): struct clk *clk = clk_get(&pdev->dev, "rng"); // ... clk_disable(clk); Since it's insane to audit the lots of existing and future clk users, let's add a check in the callee to avoid kernel panic and warn about any buggy user.

mach-netx had its own implementation of clk routines like, clk_get{put}, clk_enable{disable}, etc. And with introduction of following patchset: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/24/154 we get compilation error for multiple definition of these routines. Sascha had following suggestion to deal with it: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg179369.html So, remove this code completely.

Many drivers are shared between architectures that may or may not have HAVE_CLK selected for them. To remove compilation errors for them we enclose clk_*() calls in these drivers within #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_CLK, #endif. This patch removes the need of these CONFIG_HAVE_CLK statements, by introducing dummy routines when HAVE_CLK is not selected by platforms. So, definition of these routines will always be available. These calls will return error for platforms that don't select HAVE_CLK. Signed-off-by:

There's a small group of odd looking includes in smc37c669.c. These includes appear to be if zero-ed out ever since they were added to the tree (in v2.1.89). Their purpose is unclear to me. Perhaps they were used in someones build system. Whatever their purpose was, nothing else uses something comparable. This entire if zero-ed out block might as well be removed. Signed-off-by:

When suid_dumpable=2, detect unsafe core_pattern settings and warn when they are seen. Signed-off-by:
Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Suggested-by:

Kees Cook authored
When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with user-controlled content. This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges. $ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable 2 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern core $ ulimit -c unlimited $ cd / $ ls -l core ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory $ touch core touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied $ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 & $ pid=$! $ sleep 1 $ kill -SEGV $pid $ ls -l core -rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core $ sudo strings core | grep evil OHAI=evil-string-here While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read any file present and skip unparsable lines. Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk via relative path). Most users of mode 2 (e.g. Chrome OS) already use a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them. For the situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths. If a relative path is defined (e.g. the default "core" pattern), dump attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully qualified path. Signed-off-by:

efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table information. The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic on x86_64 systems: panic+0x01ca do_exit+0x043c oops_end+0x00a7 no_context+0x0119 __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138 bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e do_page_fault+0x0321 page_fault+0x0020 reserve_memtype+0x02a1 __ioremap_caller+0x0123 ioremap_nocache+0x0012 efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b setup_arch+0x03a9 start_kernel+0x00d4 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console() with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during early boot. This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup. Signed-off-by:Greg Pearson <greg.pearson@hp.com> Acked-by:

But it missed changing the argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page(). In this case, we should call migrate_huge_pages() with MIGRATE_SYNC.
