<content type='text'>
Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT.  Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks.  The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.

IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.

Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.  Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.

This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.

Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

<title>kernel: add kcov code coverage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5c9a8750a6409c63a0f01d51a9024861022f6593</id>
<content type='text'>
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

We are going to require dma_ops for several common drivers, even for
systems that do have an identity mapping. Lets provide some minimal
no-op dma_ops that can be used for that purpose.

<title>UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker</title>

UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.

GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

[2] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html
[3] - http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/10/16/gcc-undefined-behavior-sanitizer-ubsan/

Issues which UBSAN has found thus far are:

 * out-of-bounds access - 97840cb67ff5 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: fix

<title>lib/clz_tab.c: put in lib-y rather than obj-y</title>

<content type='text'>
The clz table (__clz_tab) in lib/clz_tab.c is also provided as part of
libgcc.a, and many architectures link against libgcc.  To allow the
linker to avoid a multiple-definition link failure, clz_tab.o has to be
in lib/lib.a rather than lib/builtin.o.  The specific issue is that
libgcc.a comes before lib/builtin.o on vmlinux.o's link command line, so
its _clz.o is pulled to satisfy __clz_tab, and then when the remainder
of lib/builtin.o is pulled in to satisfy all the other dependencies, the
__clz_tab symbols conflict.  By putting clz_tab.o in lib.a, the linker
can simply avoid pulling it into vmlinux.o when this situation arises.

The definitions of __clz_tab are the same in libgcc.a and in the kernel;
arguably we could also simply rename the kernel version, but it's
unlikely the libgcc version will ever change to become incompatible, so
just using it seems reasonably safe.

<content type='text'>
The test suite currently doesn't cover many corner cases when
hex_dump_to_buffer() runs into overflow.  Refactor and amend test suite
to cover most of the cases.

This patch (of 9):

Just to follow the scheme that most of the test modules are using.

There is no fuctional change.
