Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Misc fixes: - Fix a S390 boot hang that was caused by the lock-break logic. Remove lock-break to begin with, as review suggested it was unreasonably fragile and our confidence in its continued good health is lower than our confidence in its removal. - Remove the lockdep cross-release checking code for now, because of unresolved false positive warnings. This should make lockdep work well everywhere again. - Get rid of the final (and single) ACCESS_ONCE() straggler and remove the API from v4.15. - Fix a liblockdep build warning" * 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: tools/lib/lockdep: Add missing declaration of 'pr_cont()' checkpatch: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() warning compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() tools/include: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() tools/perf: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE() locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks locking/core: Remove break_lock field when CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y locking/core: Fix deadlock during boot on systems with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK

checkpatch: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() warning

2017-12-12T12:22:10+00:00

Now that ACCESS_ONCE() has been excised from the kernel, any uses will result in a build error, and we no longer need to whine about it in checkpatch. This patch removes the newly redundant warning.

scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -none

2017-12-02T15:32:04+00:00

My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a badly formatted comment immediately before the #define: /** * struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for * bus layer usage. */ which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build to fail. Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with -none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any issues.

vsprintf: add printk specifier %px

2017-11-29T01:13:14+00:00

printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using %lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel. Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding
