earlycon: Use a pointer table to fix __earlycon_table stride

2018-05-01T19:47:28Z

commit dd709e72cb934eefd44de8d9969097173fbf45dc upstream. Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix __earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32 and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem. However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9 chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol "__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table". To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach by commits: 3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array") 654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array") e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array") Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for EARLYCON_TABLE.

error-injection: Add injectable error types

2018-01-13T01:33:38Z

Add injectable error types for each error-injectable function. One motivation of error injection test is to find software flaws, mistakes or mis-handlings of expectable errors. If we find such flaws by the test, that is a program bug, so we need to fix it. But if the tester miss input the error (e.g. just return success code without processing anything), it causes unexpected behavior even if the caller is correctly programmed to handle any errors. That is not what we want to test by error injection. To clarify what type of errors the caller must expect for each injectable function, this introduces injectable error types: - EI_ETYPE_NULL : means the function will return NULL if it fails. No ERR_PTR, just a NULL. - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO : means the function will return -ERRNO if it fails. - EI_ETYPE_ERRNO_NULL : means the function will return -ERRNO (ERR_PTR) or NULL. ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() macro is expanded to get one of NULL, ERRNO, ERRNO_NULL to record the error type for each function. e.g. ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(open_ctree, ERRNO) This error types are shown in debugfs as below. ==== / # cat /sys/kernel/debug/error_injection/list open_ctree [btrfs] ERRNO io_ctl_init [btrfs] ERRNO ==== Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe

2018-01-13T01:33:38Z

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g. livepatch, ftrace etc. So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes. Some differences has been made: - "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures. - BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too. - CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union

2018-01-09T23:21:02Z

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of. The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker script macro: init_thread_union init_stack INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the thread_info second.

add infrastructure for tagging functions as error injectable

2017-12-12T16:56:26Z

Using BPF we can override kprob'ed functions and return arbitrary values. Obviously this can be a bit unsafe, so make this feature opt-in for functions. Simply tag a function with KPROBE_ERROR_INJECT_SYMBOL in order to give BPF access to that function for error injection purposes.

kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE

2017-11-18T00:10:00Z

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

percpu: Introduce DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED

2017-11-07T14:35:59Z

KVM guest defines three per-CPU variables (steal-time, apf_reason, and kvm_pic_eoi) which are shared between a guest and a hypervisor. When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and if the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor then it must clear the C-bit (i.e set decrypted) before sharing it. DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED can be used to define the per-CPU variables which will be shared between a guest and a hypervisor.
