When building specific DTBs out of the kernel tree the vendor subdirs
(boot/dts/<vendor>) are not created, ensure that they are before
building the DTB.

James Hogan 8286ae0330 MIPS: Add CDMM bus support
Add MIPS Common Device Memory Map (CDMM) support in the form of a bus in
the standard Linux device model. Each device attached via CDMM is
discoverable via an 8-bit type identifier and may contain a number of
blocks of memory mapped registers in the CDMM region. IRQs are expected
to be handled separately.

Due to the per-cpu (per-VPE for MT cores) nature of the CDMM devices,
all the driver callbacks take place from workqueues which are run on the
right CPU for the device in question, so that the driver doesn't need to
be as concerned about which CPU it is running on. Callbacks also exist
for when CPUs are taken offline, so that any per-CPU resources used by
the driver can be disabled so they don't get forcefully migrated. CDMM
devices are created as children of the CPU device they are attached to.

Any existing CDMM configuration by the bootloader will be inherited,
however platforms wishing to enable CDMM should implement the weak
mips_cdmm_phys_base() function (see asm/cdmm.h) so that the bus driver
knows where it should put the CDMM region in the physical address space
if the bootloader hasn't already enabled it.

A mips_cdmm_early_probe() function is also provided to allow early boot
or particularly low level code to set up the CDMM region and probe for a
specific device type, for example early console or KGDB IO drivers for
the EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC) CDMM device.

Valentin Rothberg 2c2b913d19 irqf_oneshot.cocci: add check of devm_request_threaded_irq()
Since commit 1c6c69525b ("genirq: Reject
bogus threaded irq requests") threaded IRQs without a primary handler
need to be requested with IRQF_ONESHOT, otherwise the request will fail.

Until now, this coccinelle script only checked request_threaded_irq().
However, the counterpart devm function (see kernel/irq/devres.c) is also
affected by the missing flag which can be detected with this patch.

Masahiro Yamada 63a91033d5 kbuild: add generic mergeconfig target, %.config
"scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh && make oldconfig" works well
enough for merging local config fragments, but Kbuild currently has
the entry points only for "kvmconfig" and "tinyconfig".

This commit provides the generic target for mergeconfig, so we can
manage our own config fragments easily:
put "foo.config" in arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/ or kernel/configs/,
and then run "make foo.config".

Now "make kvmconfig" is just a shorthand of "make kvm_guest.config".
Likewise, "make tinyconfig" is equivalent to
"make allnoconfig tiny.config".

The variable "MAKE" is used to store the command name that has
invoked the Makefile.  (Actually, it is already set to "make"
if you run this script from a Makefile.)

In this script, however, it is used to determine if Make should be

It is true that we do not want to move the code too far to the

    echo

    echo Value of $CFG is redundant by fragment $MERGE_FILE:

Masahiro Yamada b9fe99c5b9 kbuild: mergeconfig: move an error check to merge_config.sh
Currently, "make tinyconfig" does not work with "-j" option.

  $ make mrproper
  $ make -j8 tinyconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
    HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o

  #

  #
  scripts/kconfig/Makefile:122: *** You need an existing .config
  for this target.  Stop.
  make: *** [tinyconfig] Error 2

As shown above, "allnoconfig" has created the .config file before
mergeconfig is called, but Make still raises a false alarm because
of some sort of race condition.

We can fix this issue by moving the error check to the shell script.

Anyway, scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh always requires an existing
.config as a base file.  It is reasonable to check its existence in
the shell script.

Valentin Rothberg e9533ae539 checkkconfigsymbols.py: fix sorted output
Commit b1a3f24348 ("checkkconfigsymbols.py: make it Git aware")
mistakenly removed to print undefined Kconfig symbols in alphabetical
order.  Furthermore, the script does not print anything anymore when the
entire tree is checked (i.e., when no commit is specified).

This patch restores the sorted output and adds the missing print for the
default case.  Additionally, the file lists are now sorted as well which
(a) makes it easier to read and (b) makes the output deterministic.

Valentin Rothberg b1a3f24348 checkkconfigsymbols.py: make it Git aware
The script now supports to check a specified commit or a specified range
of commits (i.e., commit1..commit2).  Developers and maintainers are
encouraged to use this functionality before sending or merging patches
to avoid potential bugs and to keep the code, documentation, etc. clean.

This patch adds the following options to the script:

 -c COMMIT, --commit=COMMIT
                  Check if the specified commit (hash) introduces
                  undefined Kconfig symbols.

 -d DIFF, --diff=DIFF
                  Diff undefined symbols between two commits.  The input
                  format bases on Git log's 'commmit1..commit2'.

  --force         Reset current Git tree even when it's dirty.

Note that the first two options require to 'git reset --hard' the user's
Git tree.  This hard reset is necessary to keep the script fast, but it
can lead to the loss of uncommitted data.  Hence, the script aborts in
case it is executed in a dirty tree.  It won't abort if '--force' is
passed.

If neither -c nor -d is specified, the script defaults to check the
entire local tree (i.e., the previous behavior).

Jan Kiszka a9c5bcfa43 scripts/gdb: disable pagination while printing from breakpoint handler
While reporting the (refreshed) list of modules on automatic updates we
may hit the page boundary of the output console and cause a stop if
pagination is enabled.  However, gdb does not accept user input while
running over the breakpoint handler.  So we get stuck, and the user is
forced to interrupt gdb.

Resolve this by disabling pagination during automatic symbol updates.  We
restore the user's configuration once done.

Pantelis Koukousoulas 276d97d90a scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7
I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.

I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).

Main issues that needed to be resolved:

  * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
    __next__() instead (so let's just add both).

  * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
    in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
    where it was converting the object to str first and then
    calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
    we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
    we need to keep this behavior.

  * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
    which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
    methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
    python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
    and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.

This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules:
lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux.  Then it searches recursively for *.ko
files in the specified paths and the current directory.  Finally it walks
the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command
for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds
to which address.  It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata)
and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line.  This
allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.

Jan Kiszka 3ee7b3fa2c scripts/gdb: add infrastructure
This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.

The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>.  Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.

The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.

Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.

This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

Andrey Ryabinin bebf56a1b1 kasan: enable instrumentation of global variables
This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables.
This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules.
Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g.
__init, __read_mostly, ...)

The idea of this is simple.  Compiler increases each global variable by
redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals()
function.  Information about global variable (address, size, size with
redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison
variable's redzone.

This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned
address making shadow memory handling (
kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple.  Such alignment
guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond
to only one module_alloc() allocation.

Andrey Ryabinin 9ddf82521c kernel: add support for .init_array.* constructors
KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global variables.
Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces constructors with priority
(.init_array.00099)

Currently kernel ignores such constructors.  Only constructors with
default priority supported (.init_array)

This patch adds support for constructors with priorities.  For kernel
image we put pointers to constructors between __ctors_start/__ctors_end
and do_ctors() will call them on start up.  For modules we merge
.init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array.  Module code properly
handles constructors in .init_array section.

Andrey Ryabinin 0b24becc81 kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure
Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector.  It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.

KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required.  v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.

This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer.  It's
not available for use yet.  The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].

Basic idea:

The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.

Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.

Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:

     unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
     {
                return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
     }

where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.

So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible.  Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).

To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.

These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory.  If access is not valid an error
printed.

Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:

	"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
	ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
	them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
	running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
	scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
	open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
	lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
	The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.

	We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
	(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
	start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
	Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
	We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
	people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.

	[...]

	As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
	performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
	shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
	programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
	kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
	running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
	have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
	finish all tuning).

	I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
	working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
	memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
	others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
	can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
	if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.

	Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
	instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
	parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
	relatively easy to port."

Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================

KMEMCHECK:

  - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can.  KASan uses
    compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
    kmemcheck.  The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
    uninitialized memory reads.

    Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
    x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:

$ netperf -l 30
		MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
		Recv   Send    Send
		Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
		Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
		bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec

no debug:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    41624.72

kasan inline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    12870.54

kasan outline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    10586.39

kmemcheck: 	87380  16384  16384    30.03      20.23

  - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs.  It always sets
    number of CPUs to 1.  KASan doesn't have such limitation.

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
	- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
	  granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.

SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
	- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.

	- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
	  KASan able to detect both reads and writes.

	- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
	  bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
	  bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
	  place of first bad read/write.

Rabin Vincent 5d8591bc0f module: set ksymtab/kcrctab* section addresses to 0x0
These __ksymtab*/__kcrctab* sections currently have non-zero addresses.
Non-zero section addresses in a relocatable ELF confuse GDB and it ends
up not relocating all symbols when add-symbol-file is used on modules
which have exports.  The kernel's module loader does not care about
these addresses, so let's just set them to zero.

 Before:

  $ readelf -S lib/notifier-error-inject.ko   | grep 'Name\| __ksymtab_gpl'
    [Nr] Name              Type            Addr     Off    Size   ES Flg Lk Inf Al

  (gdb) add-symbol-file lib/notifier-error-inject.ko 0x500000 -s .bss 0x700000
  add symbol table from file "lib/notifier-error-inject.ko" at

     .bss_addr = 0x700000
  (gdb) p &notifier_err_inject_dir
  $3 = (struct dentry **) 0x0

 After:

  $ readelf -S lib/notifier-error-inject.ko   | grep 'Name\| __ksymtab_gpl'

Heiko Carstens e6d60b368b s390/ftrace: hotpatch support for function tracing
Make use of gcc's hotpatch support to generate better code for ftrace
function tracing.
The generated code now contains only a six byte nop in each function
prologue instead of a 24 byte code block which will be runtime patched to
support function tracing.
With the new code generation the runtime overhead for supporting function
tracing is close to zero, while the original code did show a significant
performance impact.

Sedat Dilek d9f711db83 builddeb: Try to determine distribution
lsb_release command is a good choice to determine the distribution
name for the changelog file in the generated Debian packages [1].
Its installation is no precondition.
In Debian it is still not essential or build-essential.

Ben gave some helpful informations and detailed explanations in [2].
There he also suggested to have an option to explicitly set the
distribution name (see $KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST variable).

Embedded the improvement as suggested by Thorsten (see [3]):

"This is suboptimal: if KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST is defined,
lsb_release is not necessary. The following snippet
also omits using its output if it fails but still
produces any:"

Dealing with this issue I learned about "The Colon in the Shell." and
possible pitfalls in this area (see [4,5]). Furthermore, refreshed my
knowledge about redirecting outputs with the echo command (see [5]).
Special thanks to Thorsten, I enjoyed the IRC session with you.

Cooked together the snippets of Ben and Thorsten (see [2,3]).
Tested against Linux v3.19-rc2.

Thanks goes to Alexander, Ben, maximilian and Thorsten for the very
vital help.

  Two new s390 specific system calls are added to emulate user space
  mmio for PCI, an artifact of the how PCI memory is accessed.

  Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code.
  For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero
  page for an mm that is used by a KVM process.  And an optimization,
  pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full.

  Some micro optimization for the cmpxchg and the spinlock code.
