      seq_buf: Move the seq_buf code to lib/ · 8d58e99a
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      The seq_buf functions are rather useful outside of tracing. Instead
      of having it be dependent on CONFIG_TRACING, move the code into lib/
      and allow other users to have access to it even when tracing is not
      configured.
      
      The seq_buf utility is similar to the seq_file utility, but instead of
      writing sending data back up to userland, it writes it into a buffer
      defined at seq_buf_init(). This allows us to send a descriptor around
      that writes printf() formatted strings into it that can be retrieved
      later.
      
      It is currently used by the tracing facility for such things like trace
      events to convert its binary saved data in the ring buffer into an
      ASCII human readable context to be displayed in /sys/kernel/debug/trace.
      
      It can also be used for doing NMI prints safely from NMI context into
      the seq_buf and retrieved later and dumped to printk() safely. Doing
      printk() from an NMI context is dangerous because an NMI can preempt
      a current printk() and deadlock on it.

      Revert "fast_hash: avoid indirect function calls" · a77f9c5d
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      This reverts commit e5a2c899.
      
      	Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2,
      that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the
      X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2.
      
      	Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be
      suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled
      properly for the called functions.  The __jhash2 function in particular
      clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via
      alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of
      arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2.  It is possible that
      __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer
      registers.
      
      	This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse
      Gross <jesse@nicira.com>.

      lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM · 8a6f0b47
      Valentin Rothberg 提交于
      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.

      The prio_heap code is unused since commit 889ed9ce ("cgroup: remove
      css_scan_tasks()").  It should be compiled out to shrink the binary
      kernel size which can be done via introducing CONFIG_PRIO_HEAD or by
      removing the code.
      
      We can simply recover the code from git when needed, so it would be

      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 8404663f ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
      explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
      again, for any architecture.

      test: add minimal module for verification testing · 93e9ef83
      Kees Cook 提交于
      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.

      lib: introduce arch optimized hash library · 71ae8aac
      Francesco Fusco 提交于
      We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in
      the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the
      hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific
      implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to
      jhash() for the generic case.
      
      On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l
      instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the
      instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation
      is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor.
      
      Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for
      accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well
      in follow-up work.

      Add a generic associative array implementation. · 3cb98950
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a generic associative array implementation that can be used as the
      container for keyrings, thereby massively increasing the capacity available
      whilst also speeding up searching in keyrings that contain a lot of keys.
      
      This may also be useful in FS-Cache for tracking cookies.
      
      Documentation is added into Documentation/associative_array.txt
      
      Some of the properties of the implementation are:
      
       (1) Objects are opaque pointers.  The implementation does not care where they
           point (if anywhere) or what they point to (if anything).
      
           [!] NOTE: Pointers to objects _must_ be zero in the two least significant
           	       bits.
      
       (2) Objects do not need to contain linkage blocks for use by the array.  This
           permits an object to be located in multiple arrays simultaneously.
           Rather, the array is made up of metadata blocks that point to objects.
      
       (3) Objects are labelled as being one of two types (the type is a bool value).
           This information is stored in the array, but has no consequence to the
           array itself or its algorithms.
      
       (4) Objects require index keys to locate them within the array.
      
       (5) Index keys must be unique.  Inserting an object with the same key as one
           already in the array will replace the old object.
      
       (6) Index keys can be of any length and can be of different lengths.
      
       (7) Index keys should encode the length early on, before any variation due to
           length is seen.
      
       (8) Index keys can include a hash to scatter objects throughout the array.
      
       (9) The array can iterated over.  The objects will not necessarily come out in
           key order.
      
      (10) The array can be iterated whilst it is being modified, provided the RCU
           readlock is being held by the iterator.  Note, however, under these
           circumstances, some objects may be seen more than once.  If this is a
           problem, the iterator should lock against modification.  Objects will not
           be missed, however, unless deleted.
      
      (11) Objects in the array can be looked up by means of their index key.
      
      (12) Objects can be looked up whilst the array is being modified, provided the
           RCU readlock is being held by the thread doing the look up.
      
      The implementation uses a tree of 16-pointer nodes internally that are indexed
      on each level by nibbles from the index key.  To improve memory efficiency,
      shortcuts can be emplaced to skip over what would otherwise be a series of
      single-occupancy nodes.  Further, nodes pack leaf object pointers into spare
      space in the node rather than making an extra branch until as such time an
      object needs to be added to a full node.

      idr: Percpu ida · 798ab48e
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works),
      it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all
      nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist
      where the current job can't get to them.
      
      We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least
      (nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many
      cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if
      enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags
      stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to
      steal from.
      
      Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because
      steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy
      more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our
      guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think
      it's worth the extra code.

      lib: add weak clz/ctz functions · 4df87bb7
      Chanho Min 提交于
      Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and
      that causes a build failure.  They can be implemented using the
      fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not
      be implemented yet.
      
      This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".

      lib: Move fonts from drivers/video/console/ to lib/fonts/ · ee89bd6b
      Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
      Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
      9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
      support code selection logic").
      Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
      its own library directory lib/fonts/.
      This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
      CONFIG_VT=y again.

      percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting · 215e262f
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
      atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.
      
      It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
      percpu counts.  Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
      percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
      switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
      barriers (synchronize_rcu()).
      
      It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
      returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
      synchronization.

      Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS · 446f24d1
      Stephen Boyd 提交于
      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.

      lib/string_helpers: introduce generic string_unescape · 16c7fa05
      Andy Shevchenko 提交于
      There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert
      C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.
      
      The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
      also included into the patch.
