2020-08-10kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-yMasahiro Yamada1-2/+1
To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs' to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them because there is no dependency. There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile). The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'. This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand. The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast, programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y' so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles. userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

2020-06-22samples: watch_queue: build sample program for target architectureMasahiro Yamada1-6/+4
This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/. 'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that. I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because $(CC) may not provide libc. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-06-13watch_queue: add gitignore for generated sample programLinus Torvalds1-0/+1
Let's keep "git status" happy and quiet. Fixes: f5b5a164f9a1 ("Add sample notification program") Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2020-05-19pipe: Add notification lossage handlingDavid Howells1-0/+3
Add handling for loss of notifications by having read() insert a loss-notification message after it has read the pipe buffer that was last in the ring when the loss occurred. Lossage can come about either by running out of notification descriptors or by running out of space in the pipe ring. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2020-05-19pipe: Allow buffers to be marked read-whole-or-error for notificationsDavid Howells1-1/+1
Allow a buffer to be marked such that read() must return the entire buffer in one go or return ENOBUFS. Multiple buffers can be amalgamated into a single read, but a short read will occur if the next "whole" buffer won't fit. This is useful for watch queue notifications to make sure we don't split a notification across multiple reads, especially given that we need to fabricate an overrun record under some circumstances - and that isn't in the buffers.

2020-05-19Add sample notification programDavid Howells2-0/+190
The sample program is run like: ./samples/watch_queue/watch_test and watches "/" for mount changes and the current session keyring for key changes: # keyctl add user a a @s 1035096409 # keyctl unlink 1035096409 @s producing: # ./watch_test read() = 16 NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110 KEY 2ffc2e5d change=2[linked] aux=1035096409 read() = 16 NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110 KEY 2ffc2e5d change=3[unlinked] aux=1035096409 Other events may be produced, such as with a failing disk: read() = 22 NOTIFY[000]: ty=000003 sy=02 i=00000416 USB 3-7.7 dev-reset e=0 r=0 read() = 24 NOTIFY[000]: ty=000002 sy=06 i=00000418 BLOCK 00800050 e=6[critical medium] s=64000ef8 This corresponds to: blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev sdf, sector 1677725432 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 in dmesg.
