Vladimir Murzin 8d8cfb47d6 Kconfig: memtest: update number of test patterns up to 17
Additional test patterns for memtest were introduced since commit
63823126c2 ("x86: memtest: add additional (regular) test patterns"),
but looks like Kconfig was not updated that time.

Update Kconfig entry with the actual number of maximum test patterns.

Vladimir Murzin 4a20799d11 mm: move memtest under mm
Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of
patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected
it reserves them via memblock API.  Since memblock API is widely used by
other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.

This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and
enables memtest feature for arm/arm64.

It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue
with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

This patch (of 6):

There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other
platforms might benefit from this feature too.

John Stultz 3c17ad19f0 timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays
Recently there's been requests for better sanity
checking in the time code, so that it's more clear
when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues
could manifest in a large number of strange ways in
various subsystems.

Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to
add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new
warnings:

 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles'
    overflow point,

 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's
    'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the
    overflow point.

This extra infrastructure is conditional on
a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also
added in this patch - default off.

Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified
lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

Paul E. McKenney 37745d2810 rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period initialization
Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period
initialization.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing
race-reproduction probability.  A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply.  A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified.  By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

Jan Kiszka 3ee7b3fa2c scripts/gdb: add infrastructure
This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.

The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>.  Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.

The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.

Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.

This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

Andrey Ryabinin 0b24becc81 kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure
Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector.  It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.

KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required.  v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.

This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer.  It's
not available for use yet.  The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].

Basic idea:

The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.

Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.

Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:

     unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
     {
                return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
     }

where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.

So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible.  Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).

To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.

These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory.  If access is not valid an error
printed.

Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:

	"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
	ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
	them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
	running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
	scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
	open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
	lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
	The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.

	We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
	(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
	start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
	Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
	We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
	people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.

	[...]

	As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
	performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
	shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
	programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
	kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
	running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
	have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
	finish all tuning).

	I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
	working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
	memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
	others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
	can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
	if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.

	Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
	instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
	parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
	relatively easy to port."

Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================

KMEMCHECK:

  - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can.  KASan uses
    compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
    kmemcheck.  The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
    uninitialized memory reads.

    Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
    x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:

$ netperf -l 30
		MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
		Recv   Send    Send
		Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
		Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
		bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec

no debug:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    41624.72

kasan inline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    12870.54

kasan outline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    10586.39

kmemcheck: 	87380  16384  16384    30.03      20.23

  - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs.  It always sets
    number of CPUs to 1.  KASan doesn't have such limitation.

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
	- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
	  granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.

SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
	- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.

	- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
	  KASan able to detect both reads and writes.

	- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
	  bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
	  bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
	  place of first bad read/write.

efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

Joonsoo Kim 48c96a3685 mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners
This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago.  It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is.  Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.

This functionality help us to know who allocates the page.  When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory.  Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.

In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page.  It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.

Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex.  We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.

Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes.  For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch.  And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.

I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history.  Sorry about that.

Paul E. McKenney 0eafa46823 rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE Kconfig parameter causes preemptible
RCU's CPU stall warnings to dump out any preempted tasks that are blocking
the current RCU grace period.  This information is useful, and the default
has been CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y for some years.  It is therefore
time for this commit to remove this Kconfig parameter, so that future
kernel builds will always act as if CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE=y.

Valentin Rothberg 8a6f0b47da lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM
The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
modules (LKM).  The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
convention.  The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
module.

Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
it.  The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
the autoconf.h header file during the build process.  When a feature is
selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
indicate it.

	switch (*value) {
	case 'n':
		break;
	case 'm':
		suffix = "_MODULE";
		/* fall through */

This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
use of the "_MODULE" suffix.

This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
"TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.

Alexei Starovoitov 3c731eba48 bpf: mini eBPF library, test stubs and verifier testsuite
1.
the library includes a trivial set of BPF syscall wrappers:
int bpf_create_map(int key_size, int value_size, int max_entries);
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value);
int bpf_lookup_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value);
int bpf_delete_elem(int fd, void *key);
int bpf_get_next_key(int fd, void *key, void *next_key);
int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type,
		  const struct sock_filter_int *insns, int insn_len,
		  const char *license);
bpf_prog_load() stores verifier log into global bpf_log_buf[] array

and BPF_*() macros to build instructions

2.
test stubs configure eBPF infra with 'unspec' map and program types.
These are fake types used by user space testsuite only.

3.
verifier tests valid and invalid programs and expects predefined
error log messages from kernel.
40 tests so far.

Aaron Tomlin 0d9e26329b sched: Add default-disabled option to BUG() when stack end location is overwritten
Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule()
does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is
often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted
region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined
and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be
handled.

This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate
action since the damage is already done, there is no point
in continuing.

The naming scheme used is different from the one used for
DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL though.  Change that symbol name to be
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT for consistency.  And because the value of that
symbol comes from a similarly-named config option, rename
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL as well.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Linus Torvalds 29b88e23a9 Driver core patches for 3.17-rc1
Here's the big driver-core pull request for 3.17-rc1.
 
 Largest thing in here is the dma-buf rework and fence code, that touched
 many different subsystems so it was agreed it should go through this
 tree to handle merge issues.  There's also some firmware loading
 updates, as well as tests added, and a few other tiny changes, the
 changelog has the details.
 
 All have been in linux-next for a long time.

Thomas Graf 7e1e77636e lib: Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Table
Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table
based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified
via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare
functions.

Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections.
Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is
available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place.

Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not
using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking
will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure
reverse chaining behaviour.

Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.

Andi Kleen bfaf2dd350 Kbuild: Add a option to enable dwarf4 v2
I found that a lot of unresolvable variables when using gdb on the
kernel become resolvable when dwarf4 is enabled. So add a Kconfig flag
to enable it.

It definitely increases the debug information size, but on the other
hand this isn't so bad when debug fusion is used.

Andi Kleen 866ced950b kbuild: Support split debug info v4
This is an alternative approach to lower the overhead of debug info
(as we discussed a few days ago)

gcc 4.7+ and newer binutils have a new "split debug info" debug info
model where the debug info is only written once into central ".dwo" files.

This avoids having to copy it around multiple times, from the object
files to the final executable. It lowers the disk space
requirements. In addition it defaults to compressed debug data.

More details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission

This patch adds a new option to enable it. It has to be an option,
because it'll undoubtedly break everyone's debuginfo packaging scheme.
gdb/objdump/etc. all still work, if you have new enough versions.

I don't see big compile wins (maybe a second or two faster or so), but the
object dirs with debuginfo get significantly smaller. My standard kernel
config (slightly bigger than defconfig) shrinks from 2.9G disk space
to 1.1G objdir (with non reduced debuginfo). I presume if you are IO limited
the compile time difference will be larger.

Only problem I've seen so far is that it doesn't play well with older
versions of ccache (apparently fixed, see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10005)

v2: various fixes from Dirk Gouders. Improve commit message slightly.
v3: Fix clean rules and improve Kconfig slightly
v4: Fix merge error in last version (Sam Ravnborg)
    Clarify description that it mainly helps disk size.

David Riley e704f93af5 kernel: time: Add udelay_test module to validate udelay
Create a module that allows udelay() to be executed to ensure that
it is delaying at least as long as requested (with a little bit of
error allowed).

There are some configurations which don't have reliably udelay
due to using a loop delay with cpufreq changes which should use
a counter time based delay instead.  This test aims to identify
those configurations where timing is unreliable.
