dynamic_debug: add jump label support

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

Although dynamic debug is often only used for debug builds, sometimes its enabled for production builds as well. Minimize its impact by using jump labels. This reduces the text section by 7000+ bytes in the kernel image below. It does increase data, but this should only be referenced when changing the direction of the branches, and hence usually not in cache. text data bss dec hex filename 8194852 4879776 925696 14000324 d5a0c4 vmlinux.pre 8187337 4960224 925696 14073257 d6bda9 vmlinux.post Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d165b465e8c89bc582d973758d40be44c33f018b.1467837322.git.jbaron@akamai.com Signed-off-by: Jason Baron Cc: "David S.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.

kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation

2016-08-02T23:35:43+00:00

For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis. This follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov driver without instrumenting the whole kernel. To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either # for a single file in the current directory KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y or # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories) KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y or # (same as above) ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) or # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories) subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464008380-11405-1-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum Cc: Dmitry Vyukov Cc: Quentin Casasnovas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

crc32: use ktime_get_ns() for measurement

2016-08-02T23:35:08+00:00

The crc32 test function measures the elapsed time in nanoseconds, but uses 'struct timespec' for that. We want to remove timespec from the kernel for y2038 compatibility, and ktime_get_ns() also helps make the code simpler here. It is also slightly better to use monontonic time, as we are only interested in the time difference.

lib/iommu-helper: skip to next segment

2016-08-02T23:35:07+00:00

When a large enough area in the iommu bitmap is found but would span a boundary we continue the search starting from the next bit position. For large allocations this can lead to several useless invocations of bitmap_find_next_zero_area() and iommu_is_span_boundary(). Continue the search from the start of the next segment (which is the next bit position such that we'll not cross the same segment boundary again).

ratelimit: extend to print suppressed messages on release

2016-08-02T23:35:06+00:00

Extend the ratelimiting facility to print the amount of suppressed lines when it is being released. This use case is aimed at short-termed, burst-like users for which we want to output the suppressed lines stats only once, after it has been disposed of. For an example, see /dev/kmsg usage in a follow-on patch. Also, change the printk() line we issue on release to not use "callbacks" as it is misleading: we're not suppressing callbacks but printk() calls. This has been separated from a previous patch by Linus.

UBSAN: fix typo in format string

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

handle_object_size_mismatch() used %pk to format a kernel pointer with pr_err(). This seemed to be a misspelling for %pK, but using this to format a kernel pointer does not make much sence here. Therefore use %p instead, like in handle_missaligned_access().

radix-tree: account nodes to memcg only if explicitly requested

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

Radix trees may be used not only for storing page cache pages, so unconditionally accounting radix tree nodes to the current memory cgroup is bad: if a radix tree node is used for storing data shared among different cgroups we risk pinning dead memory cgroups forever. So let's only account radix tree nodes if it was explicitly requested by passing __GFP_ACCOUNT to INIT_RADIX_TREE. Currently, we only want to account page cache entries, so mark mapping->page_tree so.
