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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"The most notable change for this pull request is the ftrace rework
from Heiko. It brings a small performance improvement and the ground
work to support a new gcc option to replace the mcount blocks with a
single nop.
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.
And as usual bug fixes and cleanups"

Checkpatch flags CamelCase identifiers in strict mode, but it has a
feature to ignore parts with only two characters to allow for SI units
like mV or uA. Unfortunately, not all SI units fit in two characters, and
not all are lower case followed by upper case.
This patch adds hardcoded detection for frequency and 1024-based size
units (Hz/KHz/MHz/GHz/THz and KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB), since allowing any three
character combinations might be too lenient. The list can later be
expanded as needed.

The change from \d+ to .+ inside __aligned() means that the following
structure:
struct test {
u8 a __aligned(2);
u8 b __aligned(2);
};
essentially gets modified to
struct test {
u8 a;
};
for purposes of kernel-doc, thus dropping a struct member, which in
turns causes warnings and invalid kernel-doc generation.
Fix this by replacing the catch-all (".") with anything that's not a
semicolon ("[^;]").

To reduce code duplication, this commit collects them into

This patch improves the detection of defects by updating the
regular expression to find Kconfig identifiers in the source
code, and fixes some cases of false positives. The following
changes are made:
- improve regex to find Kconfig identifiers in the source
- exclude .log files from analysis
- improve filtering of false positives (e.g, CONFIG_XXX)
- change output format from (feature:\tlist) to (feature\tlist)

The scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.sh script searches Kconfig features
in the source code that are not defined in Kconfig. Such identifiers
always evaluate to false and are the source of various kinds of bugs.
However, the shell script is slow and it does not detect such broken
references in Kbuild and Kconfig files (e.g., ``depends on UNDEFINED´´).
Furthermore, it generates false positives. The script is also hard to
read and understand, and is thereby difficult to maintain.
This patch replaces the shell script with an implementation in Python,
which:
(a) detects the same bugs, but does not report previous false positives
(b) additionally detects broken references in Kconfig and all
non-Kconfig files, such as Kbuild, .[cSh], .txt, .sh, defconfig, etc.
(c) is up to 75 times faster than the shell script
(d) only checks files under version control
The new script reduces the runtime on my machine (i7-2620M, 8GB RAM, SSD)
from 3m47s to 0m3s, and reports 938 broken references in Linux v3.17-rc1;
419 additional reports of which 16 are located in Kconfig files,
287 in defconfigs, 63 in ./Documentation, 1 in Kbuild.
Moreover, we intentionally include references in comments, which have been
ignored until now. Such comments may be leftovers of features that have
been removed or renamed in Kconfig (e.g., ``#endif /* CONFIG_MPC52xx */´´).
These references can be misleading and should be removed or replaced.
Note that the output format changed from (file list <tab> feature) to
(feature <tab> file list) as it simplifies the detection of the Kconfig
feature for long file lists.

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first
instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller):
If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing
of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop
(right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block),
or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function.
If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction
we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes
after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode).
This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop
and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only
two bytes.
Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last
four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes
code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction.
Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done
with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an
instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu.
Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function
trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any
stop_machine() execution.
This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates
correct pt_regs contents automatically.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
regard to the s390 architecture. It is a bit bigger than usual,
mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.
The interesting bits are:
- Quite a bit of work on the tracing front. Uprobes is enabled and
the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
- To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
IPTE range facility is added.
- The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
- The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
- The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this

Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to
read as any flow movement is unexpected.
Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition.
Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros
commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the
function name definition like:
#define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type) \
rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...) \
{ \
rtn_type rtn; \

Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't
terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those
out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols.
Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.

"This is quite late but these need to be backported anyway.
This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from
2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the
task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the
cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be
changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running,
which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task
itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt
PF_USED_MATH flag leading to a weird crash.
The bug is fixed by moving the flag to task->atomic_flags. The first
two are prepatory ones to help defining atomic_flags accessors and the
third one is the actual fix"

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.
This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.
Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.
On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :

+-------------+-----------------+
| manual .ko | make | size | percent
| compression | modules_install | | gain
+-------------+-----------------+------+--------
- | | 18.61s | 378M |
GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41%
XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83%
The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.
This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

This does the same as commit ef591a5 (scripts/Makefile.modpost: error
in finding modules from .mod files), but for scripts/Makefile.modsign
Maybe we should also apply to Makefile.modsign and Makefile.modinst
the change applied to Makefile.modpost by commit ea4054a (modpost:
handle huge numbers of modules) ?

Avoid the variable length array (vla), just use PATH_MAX instead.
This not only makes this code clang friedly, it also leads to a
code size reduction:

Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible;
make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the
r/o section instead of being runtime writable.
Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below:

Fix scripts/kernel-doc to recognize __meminit in a function prototype
and to strip it, as done with many other attributes.
Fixes this warning:
Warning(..//mm/page_alloc.c:2973): cannot understand function prototype: 'void * __meminit alloc_pages_exact_nid(int nid, size_t size, gfp_t gfp_mask) '

Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit
7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug
info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular
linux-image package instead of the debug files package. Fix up the
paths so that the debug files end up in the -dbg package.
This is based on a similar patch by Darrick.

Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters
(such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the
'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same
window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu'
library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters
properly.
The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these
UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source
level. Use it by default, if available.

The emacs --regex for DEFINE_HASHTABLE produced a warning because of
an unmatched '\('. Further, the whole entry did not work, because the
regex needs to match from the beginning of a line, including keywords
like 'static'. Finally, '\w' should not be used, because it
stops at underscores which are often part of variable names in C,
resulting in wrong entries in the tags file.

Assume we have a Makefile like:
hostprogs-y := foo bar
foo-objs := foo1.o foo2.o
bar-objs := bar1.o bar2.o
Without this commit, the host program foo depends on all of
foo1.o foo2.o bar1.o bar2.o.
This commit allows to handle the dependency of each host program
separately.
