When calling `make deb-pkg` on a system with no codename (for example Arch Linux), lsb_release sometimes outputs `n/a` as the codename.

Builddep is not very explicit about file permissions. Actually the file permissions in the package are largely influenced by the umask of the user cloning the git and building the package. If that umask does not set go+r the resulting linux-headers package will prevent non-root users from building out-of-tree modules. And that is probably just one unexpected effect. Being a packaging/install tool builddep should make sure the file permissions are set correctly and not just derived from a value that is never checked. This patch sets ugo read permissions for all packaged files and derives the executable bit for directories and executables from the file-owner.

Enable Coccinelle SmPL patches to require a specific version of Coccinelle. In the event that the version does not match we just inform the user, if the user asked to go through all SmPL patches we just inform them of the need for a new version of coccinelle for the SmPL patch and continue on with the rest. This uses the simple kernel scripts/ld-version.sh to create a weight on the version provided by spatch. The -dirty attribute is ignored if supplied, the benefit of scripts/ld-version.sh is it has a long history and well tested.

Coccinelle supports reading .cocciconfig, the order of precedence for variables for .cocciconfig is as follows: o Your current user's home directory is processed first o Your directory from which spatch is called is processed next o The directory provided with the --dir option is processed last, if used Since coccicheck runs through make, it naturally runs from the kernel proper dir, as such the second rule above would be implied for picking up a .cocciconfig when using 'make coccicheck'. 'make coccicheck' also supports using M= targets.If you do not supply any M= target, it is assumed you want to target the entire kernel. The kernel coccicheck script has: if [ "$KBUILD_EXTMOD" = "" ] ; then OPTIONS="--dir $srctree $COCCIINCLUDE" else OPTIONS="--dir $KBUILD_EXTMOD $COCCIINCLUDE" fi KBUILD_EXTMOD is set when an explicit target with M= is used. For both cases the spatch --dir argument is used, as such third rule applies when whether M= is used or not, and when M= is used the target directory can have its own .cocciconfig file. When M= is not passed as an argument to coccicheck the target directory is the same as the directory from where spatch was called. If not using the kernel's coccicheck target, keep the above precedence order logic of .cocciconfig reading. If using the kernel's coccicheck target, override any of the kernel's .coccicheck's settings using SPFLAGS. We help Coccinelle when used against Linux with a set of sensible defaults options for Linux with our own Linux .cocciconfig. This hints to coccinelle git can be used for 'git grep' queries over coccigrep. A timeout of 200 seconds should suffice for now. The options picked up by coccinelle when reading a .cocciconfig do not appear as arguments to spatch processes running on your system, to confirm what options will be used by Coccinelle run: spatch --print-options-only You can override with your own preferred index option by using SPFLAGS. Coccinelle supports both glimpse and idutils. Glimpse had historically provided the best performance, however recent benchmarks reveal idutils is performing just as well. Due to some recent fixes however you however will need at least coccinelle >= 1.0.6 if using idutils. Coccinelle carries a script scripts/idutils_index.sh which creates the idutils database with as follows: mkid -i C --output .id-utils.index If using just "--use-idutils" coccinelle expects your idutils database to be on the top level of the kernel as a file named ".id-utils.index". If you do not use this you can symlink your database file to it, or you can specify the database file following the "--use-idutils" argument. Examples: make SPFLAGS=--use-idutils coccicheck This assumes you have $srctree/.id-utils.index, where $srctree is the top level of the kernel. make SPFLAGS="--use-idutils /full-path/to/ID" coccicheck Here you specify the full path of the idutils ID database. Using .cocciconfig is possible, however given the order of precedence followed by Coccinelle, and since the kernel now carries its own .cocciconfig, you will need to use SPFLAGS to use idutils if desired. v4: o Recommend upgrade for using idutils with coccinelle due to some recent fixes. o Refer to using --print-options-only for testing what options are picked up by .cocciconfig reading. o Expand commit log considerably explaining *why* .cocconfig from two precedence rules are used when using coccicheck, and how to properly override these if needed. o Expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt v3: Expand commit log a bit more Signed-off-by: Luis R.

For instance one can use: $ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/irqf_oneshot.cocci $ make coccicheck DEBUG_FILE="poo.err" MODE=report SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd/arizona-irq.c Expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt as well. v4: expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt v3: rebased, resolve conflicts, expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt v2: use egrep instead of the *"=--option"* check, this doesn't work for disjunctions.

Coccinelle has had parmap support since 1.0.2, this means it supports --jobs, enabling built-in multithreaded functionality, instead of needing one to script it out. Just look for --jobs in the help output to determine if this is supported and use it only if your number of processors detected is > 1. If parmap is enabled also enable the load balancing to be dynamic, so that if a thread finishes early we keep feeding it. stderr is currently sent to /dev/null, addressing a way to capture that will be addressed next. If --jobs is not supported we fallback to the old mechanism. We expect to deprecate the old mechanism as soon as we can get confirmation all users are ready. While at it propagate back into the shell script any coccinelle error code. When used in serialized mode where all cocci files are run this also stops processing if an error has occured. This lets us handle some errors in coccinelle cocci files and if they bail out we should inspect the errors. This will be more useful later to help annotate coccinelle version dependency requirements. This will let you run only SmPL files that your system supports. Extend Documentation/coccinelle.txt as well. As a small example, prior to this change, on an 8-core system: Before: $ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci $ time make coccicheck MODE=report ... real 29m14.912s user 103m1.796s sys 0m4.464s After: real 16m22.435s user 128m30.060s sys 0m2.712s v4: o expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt to reflect parmap support info o update commit log to reflect what we actually do now with stderr o split out DEBUG_FILE use into another patch o detect number of CPUs and if its 1 then skip parmap support, note that if you still support parmap, but have 1 CPU you will also go through the new branches, so the old complex multithreaded process is skipped as well. v3: o move USE_JOBS to avoid being overriden v2: o redirect coccinelle stderr to /dev/null by default and only if DEBUG_FILE is used do we pass it to a file o fix typo of paramap/parmap Signed-off-by: Luis R.

krealloc() must not be used against devm_*() allocated memory regions: - if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() and __krealloc() could return a different pointer than the one given to them, creating a memory region which is not managed, thus it will not be automatically released on device removal. - if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() could kfree() the managed memory region which is passed to it. The old pointer is left registered as a resource for the device. On device removal, this dangling pointer will be used and an unrelated memory region could be released. - if the requested size is equal to 0, krealloc() can also just behave like kfree(). Here too, the old pointer is kept associated with the device. On device removal, this invalid pointer will be used and an unrelated memory region could be released. For all these reasons, krealloc() must not be used on a pointer returned by devm_*() functions.

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is displayed in /proc/mounts. However, there is a problem that the options may disappear after remount. If we mount the filesystem with option1 and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1 and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs. To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints options that are currently selected.

Commit c8f33d0b ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition. However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL. In this case, kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with ENOMEM. This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL. The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin: "This series does several related things: - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use. (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case) - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the above. - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two 32-bit multiplies will do well enough. - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32. This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()") The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for 32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified" multipliers. The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those patches are last in the series. - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing. The patch in commit 0fed3ac8 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion. Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!) - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to. - Sort out partial_name_hash(). The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things: - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long) rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other than full_name_hash" Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.) On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from the H8/300 world" * 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux: h8300: Add <asm/hash.h> microblaze: Add <asm/hash.h> m68k: Add <asm/hash.h> <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions fs/namei.c: Improve dcache hash function Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64() Change hash_64() return value to 32 bits <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function Pull out string hash to <linux/stringhash.h>

Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways. If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32() will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop.

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet. This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares the existence of <asm/hash.h>. That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones. Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics. It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with the value 1, then equality is tested.

Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86) each loop iteration. Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel), and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid slowing it down. There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that: 1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and 2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and 3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations. One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much. The key insights in this design are: 1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like. 2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three instructions. 3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state. With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster. 4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing; we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible. 5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing in fewer cycles. I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration (assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction): x ^= *input++; y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1); x += y; y = ROL(y, K2); y *= 9; Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible: if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at least 3 words of input are required to create a collision. (It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that it hashes all-zero to all-zero.) The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score. The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y, trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits), so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the shifts is odd and not too close to the word size. The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic before the hash value is used for anything. (Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6. To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified" multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32 for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition.

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return type of hash_long() consistent. It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation of hash_64 on 32-bit machines. I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own, and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required for that. (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>
