2016-08-08gcc-plugins: abort builds cleanly when not supportedKees Cook
When the compiler doesn't support gcc plugins (either due to missing headers or too old a version), report the problem and abort the build instead of emitting a warning and letting the build founder with arcane compiler errors. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2016-08-02Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing onlySteven Rostedt
With the latest gcc compilers, they give a warning if __builtin_return_address() parameter is greater than 0. That is because if it is used by a function called by a top level function (or in the case of the kernel, by assembly), it can try to access stack frames outside the stack and crash the system. The tracing system uses __builtin_return_address() of up to 2! But it is well aware of the dangers that it may have, and has even added precautions to protect against it (see the thunk code in arch/x86/entry/thunk*.S) Linus originally added KBUILD_CFLAGS that would suppress the warning for the entire kernel, as simply adding KBUILD_CFLAGS to the tracing directory wouldn't work. The tracing directory plays a bit with the CFLAGS and requires a little more logic. This adds that special logic to only suppress the warning for the tracing directory. If it is used anywhere else outside of tracing, the warning will still be triggered.

2016-07-27Disable "frame-address" warningLinus Torvalds
Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address] stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1); [ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ] It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says: "We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of > 0. In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S). [..] it adds extra frames when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address() from accessing bad areas. In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to trace irqs off. (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'." For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people miss other warnings for real problems. So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it. Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-07-27Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globallyLinus Torvalds
Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example. Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough) that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized. The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning that causes more problems than the warning can solve. If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

2016-07-26kbuild: abort build on bad stack protector flagKees Cook
Before, the stack protector flag was sanity checked before .config had been reprocessed. This meant the build couldn't be aborted early, and only a warning could be emitted followed later by the compiler blowing up with an unknown flag. This has caused a lot of confusion over time, so this splits the flag selection from sanity checking and performs the sanity checking after the make has been restarted from a reprocessed .config, so builds can be aborted as early as possible now. Additionally moves the x86-specific sanity check to the same location, since it suffered from the same warn-then-wait-for-compiler-failure problem.

The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely used and maintained by others. There's a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in: https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/ https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/ Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it works. For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away. Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab. Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should). The main kernel side enhancements were: - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang) - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen) - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen) - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang) - ... other misc changes. Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details): - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang) - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan) - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan) - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay) - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa) - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen) - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan) - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini) - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa) - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

2016-07-22kbuild: make samples depend on headers_installArnd Bergmann
Olof's build test setup keeps failing to compile arm64 kernels because of a toolchain that uses outdated kernel headers: /work/build/batch/samples/seccomp/bpf-fancy.c:13:27: fatal error: linux/seccomp.h: No such file or directory This is of course something he could change, but it also indicates that others may run into the same problem. Running 'make headers_install' avoids the issue by ensuring that the kernel headers are put into the $(objdir)/usr/include path before we build the samples. The same problem happened for the Documentation build in the past and was fixed up with commit 8e2faea877eb ("Make Documenation depend on headers_install"). This adds an identical Makefile dependency for the samples/ subdirectory. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.com>
2016-07-18Kbuild: always prefix objtree in LINUXINCLUDEArnd Bergmann
When $(LINUXINCLUDE) is added to the cflags of a target that normall doesn't have it (e.g. HOSTCFLAGS), each entry in the list is expanded so that we search both $(objtree) and $(srctree), which is a bit silly, as we already know which of the two we want for each entry in LINUXINCLUDE. Also, a follow-up patch changes the behavior so we only look in $(srctree) for manually added include path, and that breaks finding the generated headers. This adds an explicit $(objtree) for each tree that we want to look for generated files. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.com>
2016-07-18Kbuild: avoid duplicate include pathArnd Bergmann
arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated/uapi is included twice in the header search path, which is unnecessary, so this changes the top-level Makefile to drop the second instance by filtering out everything from USERINCLUDE that was already part of LINUXINCLUDE. This should have very little effect other than making the 'make V=1' output slightly smaller and making the build time faster by a miniscule amount, but it seems to be cleaner.

2016-06-07GCC plugin infrastructureEmese Revfy
This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too. Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins. The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory there. The plugins compile with these options: * -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too * -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too * -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too * -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal errors) * -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h) * -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version variable, plugin-version.h) The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++). This script also checks the availability of the included headers in scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h. The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions. The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes. Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules. Based on work created by the PaX Team.

2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and buildJani Nikula
Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any .rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just the placeholder index.rst. At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside (but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the various 'make *docs' targets. All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing DocBook Makefile are kept minimal. There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module, respectively, with informative messages to the user. If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output. Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available), epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per output type subdirectories under Documentation/output. Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose output from Sphinx. This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

gcc-6 started warning by default about variables that are not used anywhere and that are marked 'const', generating many false positives in an allmodconfig build, e.g.: arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da830-evm.c:282:20: warning: 'da830_evm_emif25_pins' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c:958:34: warning: 'omap_timer_match' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcm.c:625:39: warning: 'acpi_bcm_default_gpios' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c:92:18: warning: 'reg_map_omap4' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] drivers/devfreq/exynos/exynos5_bus.c:381:32: warning: 'exynos5_busfreq_int_pm' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] drivers/dma/mv_xor.c:1139:34: warning: 'mv_xor_dt_ids' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=] This is similar to the existing -Wunused-but-set-variable warning that was added in an earlier release and that we disable by default now and only enable when W=1 is set, so it makes sense to do the same here. Once we have eliminated the majority of the warnings for both, we can put them back into the default list. We probably want this in backport kernels as well, to allow building them with gcc-6 without introducing extra warnings.

2016-05-10gcov: disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warningArnd Bergmann
When gcov profiling is enabled, we see a lot of spurious warnings about possibly uninitialized variables being used: arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: In function 'arm_coherent_iommu_map_page': arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:1085:16: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c: In function 'st_of_flexgen_setup': drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c:323:9: warning: 'num_parents' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_mount': kernel/cgroup.c:2119:11: warning: 'root' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] All of these are false positives, so it seems better to just disable the warnings whenever GCOV is enabled. Most users don't enable GCOV, and based on a prior patch, it is now also disabled for 'allmodconfig' builds, so there should be no downsides of doing this.

2016-05-10gcov: disable tree-loop-im to reduce stack usageArnd Bergmann
Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL produces us a lot of warnings like lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c: In function 'lz4_compresshcctx': lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c:514:1: warning: the frame size of 1504 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] After some investigation, I found that this behavior started with gcc-4.9, and opened https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69702. A suggested workaround for it is to use the -fno-tree-loop-im flag that turns off one of the optimization stages in gcc, so the code runs a little slower but does not use excessive amounts of stack. We could make this conditional on the gcc version, but I could not find an easy way to do this in Kbuild and the benefit would be fairly small, given that most of the gcc version in production are affected now. I'm marking this for 'stable' backports because it addresses a bug with code generation in gcc that exists in all kernel versions with the affected gcc releases.

2016-05-10Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHESArnd Bergmann
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES confuses gcc-5.x to the degree that it prints incorrect warnings about a lot of variables that it thinks can be used uninitialized, e.g.: i2c/busses/i2c-diolan-u2c.c: In function 'diolan_usb_xfer': i2c/busses/i2c-diolan-u2c.c:391:16: warning: 'byte' may be used uninitialized in this function iio/gyro/itg3200_core.c: In function 'itg3200_probe': iio/gyro/itg3200_core.c:213:6: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c: In function 'lp55xx_update_bits': leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c:350:6: warning: 'tmp' may be used uninitialized in this function misc/bmp085.c: In function 'show_pressure': misc/bmp085.c:363:10: warning: 'pressure' may be used uninitialized in this function power/ds2782_battery.c: In function 'ds2786_get_capacity': power/ds2782_battery.c:214:17: warning: 'raw' may be used uninitialized in this function These are all false positives that either rob someone's time when trying to figure out whether they are real, or they get people to send wrong patches to shut up the warnings. Nobody normally wants to run a CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES kernel in production, so disabling the whole class of warnings for this configuration has no serious downsides either.

2016-05-10kbuild: forbid kernel directory to contain spaces and colonsRobert Jarzmik
When the kernel path contains a space or a colon somewhere in the path name, the modules_install target doesn't work anymore, as the path names are not enclosed in double quotes. It is also supposed that and O= build will suffer from the same weakness as modules_install. Instead of checking and improving kbuild to resist to directories including these characters, error out early to prevent any build if the kernel's main directory contains a space.

2016-04-26kbuild: better abstract vmlinux sequential prerequisitesNicolas Pitre
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y and CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=y it is possible to get the following error: ERROR: "cn_del_callback" [Documentation/connector/cn_test.ko] undefined! ERROR: "cn_add_callback" [Documentation/connector/cn_test.ko] undefined! ERROR: "cn_netlink_send" [Documentation/connector/cn_test.ko] undefined! ../scripts/Makefile.modpost:91: recipe for target '__modpost' failed It is not sufficient to do "vmlinux-dirs += Documentation" as this also depends on the headers_check target, and all of this needs to be done before adjust_autoksyms.sh is executed. Let's sort this out by gathering those sequential prerequisites in a make target of their own, separate from the vmlinux target. And by doing so, the special autoksyms_recursive target is no longer needed.
