2014-02-04kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TESTLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config". There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this simple one-liner. DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little upside for the common use.

2014-02-02parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fontsHelge Deller1-3/+3
The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are available. This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.

2014-01-29dma-debug: fix overlap detectionDan Williams1-3/+7
Commit 0abdd7a81b7e ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by 3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a pure reference count for the entry. Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to delete when the overlap-count drops below zero. Also, when detecting overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying special meaning to 0. Regression report available here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139073373932386&w=2 This patch, now tested on the original net_dma case, sees the expected handful of reports before the eventual data corruption occurs.

2014-01-25iscsi-target: Fix connection reset hang with percpu_ida_allocNicholas Bellinger1-2/+7
This patch addresses a bug where connection reset would hang indefinately once percpu_ida_alloc() was starved for tags, due to the fact that it always assumed uninterruptible sleep mode. So now make percpu_ida_alloc() check for signal_pending_state() for making interruptible sleep optional, and convert iscsit_allocate_cmd() to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE for GFP_KERNEL, or TASK_RUNNING for GFP_ATOMIC.

2014-01-23test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validationKees Cook3-0/+124
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 8404663f81d2 ("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.

2014-01-23test: add minimal module for verification testingKees Cook3-0/+48
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.

2014-01-21reciprocal_divide: update/correction of the algorithmHannes Frederic Sowa2-5/+26
Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide() were not correct [1][2], which he could also show with BPF code after divisions are transformed into reciprocal_value() for runtime invariance which can be passed to reciprocal_divide() later on; reverse in BPF dump ended up with a different, off-by-one K in some situations. This has been fixed by Eric Dumazet in commit aee636c4809fa5 ("bpf: do not use reciprocal divide"). This follow-up patch improves reciprocal_value() and reciprocal_divide() to work in all cases by using Granlund and Montgomery method, so that also future use is safe and without any non-obvious side-effects. Known problems with the old implementation were that division by 1 always returned 0 and some off-by-ones when the dividend and divisor where very large. This seemed to not be problematic with its current users, as far as we can tell. Eric Dumazet checked for the slab usage, we cannot surely say so in the case of flex_array. Still, in order to fix that, we propose an extension from the original implementation from commit 6a2d7a955d8d resp. [3][4], by using the algorithm proposed in "Division by Invariant Integers Using Multiplication" [5], Torbjörn Granlund and Peter L. Montgomery, that is, pseudocode for q = n/d where q, n, d is in u32 universe: 1) Initialization: int l = ceil(log_2 d) uword m' = floor((1<<32)*((1<<l)-d)/d)+1 int sh_1 = min(l,1) int sh_2 = max(l-1,0) 2) For q = n/d, all uword: uword t = (n*m')>>32 q = (t+((n-t)>>sh_1))>>sh_2 The assembler implementation from Agner Fog [6] also helped a lot while implementing. We have tested the implementation on x86_64, ppc64, i686, s390x; on x86_64/haswell we're still half the latency compared to normal divide. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2014-01-21mm, show_mem: remove SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNTMel Gorman1-3/+0
Commit 4b59e6c47309 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case. This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32 still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

2014-01-21dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()Dan Williams2-15/+190
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 77873803363c "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.

2014-01-15lib/percpu_counter.c: fix __percpu_counter_add()Ming Lei1-2/+2
__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler), so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu counter, otherwise counts may be lost. This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue() because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter. This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that have optimized this_cpu_add().
