* latent_entropy: Fix wrong gcc code generation with 64 bit variablesKees Cook2016-10-311-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long on 32-bit architectures when the given function had too many basic blocks. The gcc warning was: drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c: In function 'ibmphp_access_ebda': drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c:409:1: warning: the frame size of 1108 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This switches latent_entropy from u64 to unsigned long.

It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

It produces relocatable object files containing all its input files, and these are are then pulled together and relocated in the final link. Aside from the bloat, this constrains the final link relocations, which has bitten large powerpc builds with unresolvable relocations in the final link. Alan Modra has recommended the kernel use thin archives for linking. This is an alternative and means that the linker has more information available to it when it links the kernel. This patch enables a config option architectures can select, which causes all built-in.o files to be built as thin archives. built-in.o files in subdirectories do not get symbol table or index attached, which improves speed and size. The final link pass creates a built-in.o archive in the root output directory which includes the symbol table and index. The linker then uses takes this file to link. The --whole-archive linker option is required, because the linker now has visibility to every individual object file, and it will otherwise just completely avoid including those without external references (consider a file with EXPORT_SYMBOL or initcall or hardware exceptions as its only entry points). The traditional built works "by luck" as built-in.o files are large enough that they're going to get external references. However this optimisation is unpredictable for the kernel (due to above external references), ineffective at culling unused, and costly because the .o files have to be searched for references. Superior alternatives for link-time culling should be used instead. Build characteristics for inclink vs thinarc, on a small powerpc64le pseries VM with a modest .config: inclink thinarc sizes vmlinux 15 618 680 15 625 028 sum of all built-in.o 56 091 808 1 054 334 sum excluding root built-in.o 151 430 find -name built-in.o | xargs rm ; time make vmlinux real 22.772s 21.143s user 13.280s 13.430s sys 4.310s 2.750s - Final kernel pulled in only about 6K more, which shows how ineffective the object file culling is. - Build performance looks improved due to less pagecache activity. On IO constrained systems it could be a bigger win. - Build size saving is significant. Side note, the toochain understands archives, so there's some tricks, $ ar t built-in.o # list all files you linked with $ size built-in.o # and their sizes $ objdump -d built-in.o # disassembly (unrelocated) with filenames Implementation by sfr, minor tweaks by npiggin.

You are wrong! One small utility called "fixdep" consistently manages to sneak into profile's first page (unless you have small monitor of course). The choke point is this clever code: for (; m < end; m++) { if (*m == INT_CONF) { p = (char *) m ; goto conf; } if (*m == INT_ONFI) { p = (char *) m-1; goto conf; } if (*m == INT_NFIG) { p = (char *) m-2; goto conf; } if (*m == INT_FIG_) { p = (char *) m-3; goto conf; } 4 branches per 4 characters is not fast.

| * | | [kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliablyAl Viro2016-08-071-0/+20

That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-* only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*. As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile. Moreover, a change in generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports on some configs. With this change we don't have to worry about that anymore. One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists). That's exactly what we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing built-in.o is used in. arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o anymore.

Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

There's some functions in the function graph tracer that can not be traced otherwise it causes the function tracer to recurse before the recursion protection mechanisms are in place. When this occurs, using the dynamic ftrace featuer that allows limiting what actually gets traced can be used to bisect down to the problem function. This adds a script that helps with this process in the scripts/tracing directory, called ftrace-bisect.sh The set up is to read all the functions that can be traced from available_filter_functions into a file (full_file). Then run this script passing it the full_file and a "test_file" and "non_test_file", where the test_file will be add to set_ftrace_filter. What ftarce_bisect.sh does, is to copy half of the functions in full_file into the test_file and the other half into the non_test_file. This way, one can cat the test_file into the set_ftrace_filter functions and only test the functions that are in that file. If it works, then we run the process again after copying non_test_file to full_file and repeating the process. If the system crashed, then the bad function is in the test_file and after a reboot, the test_file becomes the new full_file in the next iteration. When we get down to a single function in the full_file, then ftrace_bisect.sh will report that as the bad function. Full documentation of how to use this simple script is within the script file itself.

So, a declaration like: .. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle) Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`. So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings: ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc ./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc So, change the kernel-doc script to produce a RST output for the above typedef as: .. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc **Typedef**: timings check callback **Syntax** ``bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);`` Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Also, for function members, like: int (* rx_read) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num); It puts the name of the member at the end, like: int (*) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num) read With is very confusing. The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name. is a secondary information. So, change kernel-doc, for it to produce the output on a different way: **Members** ``prios[4]`` array with elements to store the array priorities Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into multiple lines, if needed. So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good. It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles things like: Foo bar is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something like: **Foo** bar While, on LaTeX, it puts both foo and bar at the same line, like: **Foo** bar Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

The code is used throughout the script, making its use repetative. The proposed implementation confines the algorithm in question to a function, which makes the script easier to read overall, as well as considerably reduces the number of lines of code. Every attempt has been made to retain the look and the format generated by the current implementation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Splitting a command string could lead to unintended arguments. Use an argument list in the execute() function instead. Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg <valentinrothberg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
