mm/slab: expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB

2020-08-07T18:33:22Z

Patch series "mm: Expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB" In reviewing Vlastimil Babka's latest slub debug series, I realized[1] that several checks under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED weren't being applied to SLAB. Fix this by expanding the Kconfig coverage, and adding a simple double-free test for SLAB. This patch (of 2): Include SLAB caches when performing kmem_cache pointer verification. A defense against such corruption[1] should be applied to all the allocators. With this added, the "SLAB_FREE_CROSS" and "SLAB_FREE_PAGE" LKDTM tests now pass on SLAB: lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_CROSS lkdtm: Attempting cross-cache slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. lkdtm-heap-b but object is from lkdtm-heap-a WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2195 at mm/slab.h:530 kmem_cache_free+0x8d/0x1d0 ... lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_PAGE lkdtm: Attempting non-Slab slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ virt_to_cache: Object is not a Slab page!

arm, arm64: Fix selection of CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE

2020-07-29T14:14:16Z

Qian reported that the current setup forgoes the Kconfig dependencies and results in warnings such as: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE Depends on [n]: SMP [=y] && CPU_FREQ_THERMAL [=n] Selected by [y]: - ARM64 [=y] Revert commit e17ae7fea871 ("arm, arm64: Select CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE") and re-implement it by making the option default to 'y' for arm64 and arm, which respects Kconfig dependencies (i.e. will remain 'n' if CPU_FREQ_THERMAL=n).

sched: Cleanup SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE kconfig entry

2020-07-22T08:22:06Z

As Russell pointed out [1], this option is severely lacking in the documentation department, and figuring out if one has the required dependencies to benefit from turning it on is not straightforward. Make it non user-visible, and add a bit of help to it. While at it, make it depend on CPU_FREQ_THERMAL.

kbuild: fix CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK(_STATIC) for cross-compilation with Clang

2020-07-01T15:57:45Z

scripts/cc-can-link.sh tests if the compiler can link userspace programs. When $(CC) is GCC, it is checked against the target architecture because the toolchain prefix is specified as a part of $(CC). When $(CC) is Clang, it is checked against the host architecture because --target option is missing. Pass $(CLANG_FLAGS) to scripts/cc-can-link.sh to evaluate the link capability for the target architecture. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor

docs: move nommu-mmap.txt to admin-guide and rename to ReST

2020-06-26T17:33:35Z

The nommu-mmap.txt file provides description of user visible behaviuour. So, move it to the admin-guide. As it is already at the ReST, also rename it.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
