scripts: add leaking_addresses.pl

2017-11-06T19:46:42Z

Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses `dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like kernel addresses. Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on 64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury. Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses). [ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not incentivize people to look at what they are leaking. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

Kbuild: don't pass "-C" to preprocessor when processing linker scripts

2017-11-02T21:10:37Z

For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with "-C", which keeps comments around. That makes no sense, since the comments are not meaningful for the build anyway. And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style "//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good reason. The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH). It probably didn't matter back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the difference between the original file and the pre-processed result. The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing. This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files couldn't use the C++ comment format.

Merge tag 'spdx_identifiers-4.14-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH: "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Input: do not use property bits when generating module alias

2017-10-22T19:49:59Z

The commit 8724ecb07229 ("Input: allow matching device IDs on property bits") started using property bits when generating module aliases for input handlers, but did not adjust the generation of MODALIAS attribute on input device uevents, breaking automatic module loading. Given that no handler currently uses property bits in their module tables, let's revert this part of the commit for now.

scripts/kallsyms.c: ignore symbol type 'n'

2017-10-13T23:18:32Z

gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with '-frecord-gcc-switches'. In most cases, those symbols are reported with nm as 000000000000000e n $d and with objdump as 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored. However, if "--prefix-symbols=" is configured as well, the situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are built with '--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'. In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported by nm as: 000000000000000e n __efistub_$d and by objdump as: 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which in turn causes kallsyms to abort with kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS. Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug symbols.
