To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.
Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.
Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree. Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.
These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-". We should likely standardize on the former:
$ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
4
$ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
2
The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.
The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM).
This patch (of 2):
When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies. This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.

Record actively mapped pages and provide an api for asserting a given
page is dma inactive before execution proceeds. Placing
debug_dma_assert_idle() in cow_user_page() flagged the violation of the
dma-api in the NET_DMA implementation (see commit 7787380336 "net_dma:
mark broken").
The implementation includes the capability to count, in a limited way,
repeat mappings of the same page that occur without an intervening
unmap. This 'overlap' counter is limited to the few bits of tag space
in a radix tree. This mechanism is added to mitigate false negative
cases where, for example, a page is dma mapped twice and
debug_dma_assert_idle() is called after the page is un-mapped once.

The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option

The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait

Frame pointer on ARC doesn't serve the conventional purpose of stack
unwinding due to the typical way ABI designates it's usage.
Thus it's explicit usage on ARC is discouraged (gcc is free to use it,
for some tricky stack frames even if -fomit-frame-pointer).
Hence no point enabling it for ARC.

Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are
reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not
predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be
the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release
function being immediately called.
This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a
reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed.
This results in the release method being delayed.
In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following
patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the
release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of
the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was
being held.
This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug
their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

There are a *LOT* of memory debugging options. They are just scattered
all over the "Kernel Hacking" menu. Sure, "memory debugging" is a very
vague term and it's going to be hard to make absolute rules about what
goes in here, but this has to be better than what we had before.
This does, however, leave out the architecture-specific memory
debugging options (like x86's DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX). There would need
to be some substantial changes to move those in here. Kconfig can not
easily mix arch-specific and generic options together: it really
requires a file per-architecture, and I think having an
arch/foo/Kconfig.debug-memory might be taking things a bit too far

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.
This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with
exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock
operation still completes in a reasonable time).
This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users
where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock
avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against
malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel
modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't
really expected to contend, ever.
I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION
infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons:
- EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should
never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
injection. So fine configurability isn't required.
- The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
paths) without running into patalogical cases.
Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users
which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.
Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

Tiny RCU has historically omitted RCU CPU stall warnings in order to

Thomas Gleixner some debugging pain recently. Therefore, this commit
adds RCU CPU stall warnings to tiny RCU if RCU_TRACE=y. This keeps
the memory footprint small, while still enabling CPU stall warnings
in kernels built to enable them.
Updated to include Josh Triplett's suggested use of RCU_STALL_COMMON
config variable to simplify #if expressions.

Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access. This can be
problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system
can generate 28,853,363 reads. Normally, only a failing read is of
interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only
trace failing reads. The resulting event tracing records the time
and the ->completed value captured at the beginning of the RCU read-side
critical section, allowing correlation with other event-tracing messages.

Add a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB build option for the previously existing
DEBUG_MM_RB code. Now that Andi Kleen modified it to avoid using
recursive algorithms, we can expose it a bit more.
Also extend this code to validate_mm() after stack expansion, and to check
that the vma's start and last pgoffs have not changed since the nodes were
inserted on the anon vma interval tree (as it is important that the nodes
be reindexed after each such update).

Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented
rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of
interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are
slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x)
on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have
not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees
would still come out faster.
Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic,
and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree.
Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use
a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here
because the intervals are always non-overlapping.
Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library.
Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now
providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be
inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement
for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost
as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals;
however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented
rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree.
I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to
replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of
the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding
code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval
trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio
trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap'
constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case
complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio
tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches,
N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees
don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint
makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to
simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always
ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties
makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a
higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval
tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree.
This patch:
Add two test modules:
- prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for
insertion/removal and for stabbing searches
- interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent
functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support.
In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is
introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file
for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage
over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit,
and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality
could get some non-test users in kernel over time.
