init/gcov: allow CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS on UML to fix module gcov

2021-02-05T19:03:47Z

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call them again. Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls. Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now, since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary ones.

fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation

2021-01-29T20:07:32Z

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend() will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph tracer will not modify the return address. The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle task if it is suspended in these architectures. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_idle() cpu_suspend() pause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -> 1) start_graph_tracing() for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu) task-struct->tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -> 0) unpause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -> -1) The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled. There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can not be initialized at boot up.

Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"

2021-01-08T19:02:18Z

This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6 ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney: "This is a fix for a regression in the v5.10 merge window, but it was reported quite late in the v5.10 process, plus generating and testing the fix took some time. The regression is due to commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall") which on powerpc can use RCU Tasks before initialization, resulting in boot failures. The fix is straightforward, simply moving initialization of RCU Tasks before the early_initcall()s. The fix has been exposed to -next and kbuild test robot testing, and has been tested by the PowerPC guys" * 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: rcu-tasks: Move RCU-tasks initialization to before early_initcall()

kasan, arm64: only use kasan_depth for software modes

2020-12-22T20:55:07Z

This is a preparatory commit for the upcoming addition of a new hardware tag-based (MTE-based) KASAN mode. Hardware tag-based KASAN won't use kasan_depth. Only define and use it when one of the software KASAN modes are enabled. No functional changes for software modes.

mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters

2020-12-15T20:13:46Z

Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3. I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends: - interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on the order of parameters (Patch 1) - the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2) - sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 4) - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we have init_on_free (Patch 5) This patch (of 5): Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1 produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However, as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent. We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early params have been processed. Introduce a new init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related debug_pagealloc processing there as well. As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results in a simpler and more effective code.
