Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Two more small fixes. One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds" error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow. The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

2016-02-19T17:11:21Z

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not work in all environments.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-02-10T16:25:52Z

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

selftests/x86: Test __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn

2016-01-13T09:34:40Z

The vdso-based sigreturn mechanism is fragile and isn't used by modern glibc so, if we break it, we'll only notice when someone tests an unusual libc. Add an explicit selftest. [ I wrote this while debugging a Bionic breakage -- my first guess was that I had somehow messed up sigreturn. I've caused problems in that code before, and it's really easy to fail to notice it because there's nothing on a modern distro that needs vdso-based sigreturn. ] Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
