Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2) all WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20() because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the __builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that caused the warning. Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently, using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up. Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype': include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in #define __WARN() warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL) Split this case out into a separate call.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

Impact: eliminate secondary warnings during panic() We can panic() in a number of difficult, atomic contexts, hence we use bust_spinlocks(1) in panic() to increase oops_in_progress, which prevents various debug checks we have in place. But in practice this protection only covers the first few printk's done by panic() - it does not cover the later attempt to stop all other CPUs and kexec(). If a secondary warning triggers in one of those facilities that can make the panic message scroll off. So do bust_spinlocks(0) only much later in panic(). (which code is only reached if panic policy is relaxed that it can return after a warning message) Reported-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> LKML-Reference: <49B91A7E.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the kernel portion of this feature, the ability for the flag to be set needs to be done in the build process and will happen in a follow-up patch.

If the user selects the stack-protector config option, but does not have a gcc that has the right bits enabled (for example because it isn't build with a glibc that supports TLS, as is common for cross-compilers, but also because it may be too old), then the runtime test fails right now. This patch adds a warning message for this scenario. This warning accomplishes two goals 1) the user is informed that the security option he selective isn't available 2) the user is suggested to turn of the CONFIG option that won't work for him, and would make the runtime test fail anyway.

The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag in the taint state. This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition. These archs are: 1. s390 2. superh 3. avr32 4. parisc The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list in this email to alert them to the situation.

Unlike oopses, WARN_ON() currently does't print the loaded modules list. This makes it harder to take action on certain bug reports. For example, recently there were a set of WARN_ON()s reported in the mac80211 stack, which were just signalling a driver bug. It takes then anther round trip to the bug reporter (if he responds at all) to find out which driver is at fault. Another issue is that, unlike oopses, WARN_ON() doesn't currently printk the helpful "cut here" line, nor the "end of trace" marker. Now that WARN_ON() is out of line, the size increase due to this is minimal and it's worth adding.

A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined, which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel (and getting Andrew unhappy). This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN, and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup; this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function string twice now: 3936367 833603 624736 5394706 525112 vmlinux.before 3917508 833603 624736 5375847 520767 vmlinux-slowpath 15Kb savings...

Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses. This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports. Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on the fly. We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the console first. [ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses that trigger during the same bootup. ] Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after multiple bootups: ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of instrumentation code).

Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set. For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

To quote Alan Cox: The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated. A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in that directory. This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least panic rather than cause problems further down the line.
