lib: add kasan test module

2015-02-14T05:21:41Z

This is a test module doing various nasty things like out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing kernel debugging features like kernel address sanitizer. It mostly concentrates on testing of slab allocator, but we might want to add more different stuff here in future (like stack/global variables out of bounds accesses and so on).

ftrace: allow architectures to specify ftrace compile options

2015-01-29T08:19:19Z

If the kernel is compiled with function tracer support the -pg compile option is passed to gcc to generate extra code into the prologue of each function. This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option should be used for code generation.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for offloading of switching and routing to hardware. This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend, Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu 2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro and Herbert Xu. 3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard Alpe. 4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin KaFai Lau. 5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei Pavaluca. 6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu interrupts, from Eric Dumazet. 8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from Nicolas Dichtel. 9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei Starovoitov. 10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens. 11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian Westphal. 12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert. 13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe driver, from Thomas Lendacky. 14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman. 15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen Klassert. 16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric Dumazet.

Merge tag 'trace-seq-buf-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull nmi-safe seq_buf printk update from Steven Rostedt: "This code is a fork from the trace-3.19 pull as it needed the trace_seq clean ups from that branch. This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context. The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in practice. With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be accepted into mainline. Here's what is contained in this patch set: - Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()" formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing. - The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have a patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was done to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I may try to get that patch in for 3.20. - The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being dependent on CONFIG_TRACING. - The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of the internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow the NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack() without needing to update that code as well. - Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would wait till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the seq_buf data to the console safely from a non NMI context One added bonus is that this code also makes the NMI dump stack work on PREEMPT_RT kernels. As printk() includes sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT, printk() only writes to console if the console does not use any rt_mutex converted spin locks.
