The current code places a 256 byte limit on the registration format.
This ends up being fairly limited when you try to do matching against a
binary format like ELF:
- the magic & mask formats cannot have any embedded NUL chars
(string_unescape_inplace halts at the first NUL)
- each escape sequence quadruples the size: \x00 is needed for NUL
- trying to match bytes at the start of the file as well as further
on leads to a lot of \x00 sequences in the mask
- magic & mask have to be the same length (when decoded)
- still need bytes for the other fields
- impossible!
Let's look at a concrete (and common) example: using QEMU to run MIPS
ELFs. The name field uses 11 bytes "qemu-mipsel". The interp uses 20
bytes "/usr/bin/qemu-mipsel". The type & flags takes up 4 bytes. We
need 7 bytes for the delimiter (usually ":"). We can skip offset. So
already we're down to 107 bytes to use with the magic/mask instead of
the real limit of 128 (BINPRM_BUF_SIZE). If people use shell code to
register (which they do the majority of the time), they're down to ~26
possible bytes since the escape sequence must be \x##.
The ELF format looks like (both 32 & 64 bit):
e_ident: 16 bytes
e_type: 2 bytes
e_machine: 2 bytes
Those 20 bytes are enough for most architectures because they have so few
formats in the first place, thus they can be uniquely identified. That
also means for shell users, since 20 is smaller than 26, they can sanely
register a handler.
But for some targets (like MIPS), we need to poke further. The ELF fields
continue on:
e_entry: 4 or 8 bytes
e_phoff: 4 or 8 bytes
e_shoff: 4 or 8 bytes
e_flags: 4 bytes
We only care about e_flags here as that includes the bits to identify
whether the ELF is O32/N32/N64. But now we have to consume another 16
bytes (for 32 bit ELFs) or 28 bytes (for 64 bit ELFs) just to match the
flags. If every byte is escaped, we send 288 more bytes to the kernel
((20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 12 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} + 4
{e_flags}) * 2 {mask,magic} * 4 {escape}) and we've clearly blown our
budget.
Even if we try to be clever and do the decoding ourselves (rather than
relying on the kernel to process \x##), we still can't hit the mark --
string_unescape_inplace treats mask & magic as C strings so NUL cannot
be embedded. That leaves us with having to pass \x00 for the 12/24
entry/phoff/shoff bytes (as those will be completely random addresses),
and that is a minimum requirement of 48/96 bytes for the mask alone.
Add up the rest and we blow through it (this is for 64 bit ELFs):
magic: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 24 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} +
4 {e_flags} = 48 # ^^ See note below.
mask: 20 {e_ident,e_type,e_machine} + 96 {e_entry,e_phoff,e_shoff} +
4 {e_flags} = 120
Remember above we had 107 left over, and now we're at 168. This is of
course the *best* case scenario -- you'll also want to have NUL bytes
in the magic & mask too to match literal zeros.
Note: the reason we can use 24 in the magic is that we can work off of the
fact that for bytes the mask would clobber, we can stuff any value into
magic that we want. So when mask is \x00, we don't need the magic to also
be \x00, it can be an unescaped raw byte like '!'. This lets us handle
more formats (barely) under the current 256 limit, but that's a pretty
tall hoop to force people to jump through.
With all that said, let's bump the limit from 256 bytes to 1920. This way
we support escaping every byte of the mask & magic field (which is 1024
bytes by themselves -- 128 * 4 * 2), and we leave plenty of room for other
fields. Like long paths to the interpreter (when you have source in your
/really/long/homedir/qemu/foo). Since the current code stuffs more than
one structure into the same buffer, we leave a bit of space to easily
round up to 2k. 1920 is just as arbitrary as 256 ;).

The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
module.
Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is
selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
indicate it.
switch (*value) {
case 'n':
break;
case 'm':
suffix = "_MODULE";
/* fall through */
This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
use of the "_MODULE" suffix.
This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
"TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.

Commit 458df9fd48 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use
printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and
inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message. However
it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now
ends up in the middle of the output:
[sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec
Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf(). The
prefix is useless since 458df9fd48 anyway since from that moment
printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer
immediately. So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is
printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for
any special prefix. And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it
to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation
any better.

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could
cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align
order is larger than cma->order_per_bit.
Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to
6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as
the expected align value. After using the current implementation however,
we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511.
This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Commit bf0dea23a9 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache")
changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to
percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in
percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to
0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't
cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes
the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment.
Following bug report is reported from David Miller.
I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64:
[603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side updates:
- Fix and enhance poll support (Jiri Olsa)
- Re-enable inheritance optimization (Jiri Olsa)
- Enhance Intel memory events support (Stephane Eranian)
- Refactor the Intel uncore driver to be more maintainable (Zheng
Yan)
- Enhance and fix Intel CPU and uncore PMU drivers (Peter Zijlstra,
Andi Kleen)
- [ plus various smaller fixes/cleanups ]
User visible tooling updates:
- Add +field argument support for --field option, so that one can add
fields to the default list of fields to show, ie now one can just
do:
perf report --fields +pid
And the pid will appear in addition to the default fields (Jiri
Olsa)
- Add +field argument support for --sort option (Jiri Olsa)
- Honour -w in the report tools (report, top), allowing to specify
the widths for the histogram entries columns (Namhyung Kim)
- Properly show submicrosecond times in 'perf kvm stat' (Christian
Borntraeger)
- Add beautifier for mremap flags param in 'trace' (Alex Snast)
- perf script: Allow callchains if any event samples them
- Don't truncate Intel style addresses in 'annotate' (Alex Converse)
- Allow profiling when kptr_restrict == 1 for non root users, kernel
samples will just remain unresolved (Andi Kleen)
- Allow configuring default options for callchains in config file

Tooling infrastructure changes:
- Refactor unit and scale function parameters for PMU parsing
routines (Matt Fleming)
- Improve DSO long names lookup with rbtree, resulting in great
speedup for workloads with lots of DSOs (Waiman Long)
- We were not handling POLLHUP notifications for event file
descriptors
Fix it by filtering entries in the events file descriptor array
after poll() returns, refcounting mmaps so that when the last fd
pointing to a perf mmap goes away we do the unmap (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Intel PT prep work, from Adrian Hunter, including:
- Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms
- Add perf-with-kcore script
- Let default config be defined for a PMU
- Add perf_pmu__scan_file()
- Add a 'perf test' for tracking with sched_switch
- Add 'flush' callback to scripting API
- Use ring buffer consume method to look like other tools (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- hists browser (used in top and report) refactorings, getting rid of
unused variables and reducing source code size by handling similar
cases in a fewer functions (Namhyung Kim).
- Replace thread unsafe strerror() with strerror_r() accross the
whole tools/perf/ tree (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Rename ordered_samples to ordered_events and allow setting a queue
size for ordering events (Jiri Olsa)

"The big thing in this pile is Eric's unmount-on-rmdir series; we
finally have everything we need for that. The final piece of prereqs

Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt
Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to
->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c
cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which
gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long
and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the

caused a regression in xfs_inumbers, which in turn broke
xfsdump, causing incomplete dumps.
The loop in xfs_inumbers() needs to fill the user-supplied
buffers, and iterates via xfs_btree_increment, reading new
ags as needed.
But the first time through the loop, if xfs_btree_increment()
succeeds, we continue, which triggers the ++agno at the bottom
of the loop, and we skip to soon to the next ag - without
the proper setup under next_ag to read the next ag.
Fix this by removing the agno increment from the loop conditional,
and only increment agno if we have actually hit the code under
the next_ag: target.

The following pairs of system calls dealing with extended attributes only
differ in their behavior on whether the symbolic link is followed (when
the named file is a symbolic link):
- setxattr() and lsetxattr()
- getxattr() and lgetxattr()
- listxattr() and llistxattr()
- removexattr() and lremovexattr()
Despite this, the implementations all had duplicated code, so this commit
redirects each of the above pairs of system calls to a corresponding
function to which different lookup flags (LOOKUP_FOLLOW or 0) are passed.
For me this reduced the stripped size of xattr.o from 8824 to 8248 bytes.
