When syzbot tries to figure out how to deduplicate bug reports, it prefers
seeing a hint about a specific bug type (we can do better than just
"UBSAN"). This lifts the handler reason into the UBSAN report line that
includes the file path that tripped a check. Unfortunately, UBSAN does
not provide function names.

Syzkaller expects kernel warnings to panic when the panic_on_warn sysctl

In order to do kernel builds with the bounds checker individually
available, introduce CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, with the remaining options under
CONFIG_UBSAN_MISC.
For example, using this, we can start to expand the coverage syzkaller is
providing. Right now, all of UBSan is disabled for syzbot builds because
taken as a whole, it is too noisy. This will let us focus on one feature
at a time.
For the bounds checker specifically, this provides a mechanism to
eliminate an entire class of array overflows with close to zero
performance overhead (I cannot measure a difference). In my (mostly)
defconfig, enabling bounds checking adds ~4200 checks to the kernel.
Performance changes are in the noise, likely due to the branch predictors
optimizing for the non-fail path.
Some notes on the bounds checker:
- it does not instrument {mem,str}*()-family functions, it only
instruments direct indexed accesses (e.g. "foo[i]"). Dealing with
the {mem,str}*()-family functions is a work-in-progress around
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE[1].
- it ignores flexible array members, including the very old single
byte (e.g. "int foo[1];") declarations. (Note that GCC's
implementation appears to ignore _all_ trailing arrays, but Clang only
ignores empty, 0, and 1 byte arrays[2].)

Patch series "ubsan: Split out bounds checker", v5.
This splits out the bounds checker so it can be individually used. This
is enabled in Android and hopefully for syzbot. Includes LKDTM tests for
behavioral corner-cases (beyond just the bounds checker), and adjusts
ubsan and kasan slightly for correct panic handling.
This patch (of 6):
The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can operate in two modes: warning
reporting mode via lib/ubsan.c handler calls, or trap mode, which uses
__builtin_trap() as the handler. Using lib/ubsan.c means the kernel image
is about 5% larger (due to all the debugging text and reporting structures
to capture details about the warning conditions). Using the trap mode,
the image size changes are much smaller, though at the loss of the
"warning only" mode.
In order to give greater flexibility to system builders that want minimal
changes to image size and are prepared to deal with kernel code being
aborted and potentially destabilizing the system, this introduces
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP. The resulting image sizes comparison:
text data bss dec hex filename
19533663 6183037 18554956 44271656 2a38828 vmlinux.stock
19991849 7618513 18874448 46484810 2c54d4a vmlinux.ubsan
19712181 6284181 18366540 44362902 2a4ec96 vmlinux.ubsan-trap
CONFIG_UBSAN=y: image +4.8% (text +2.3%, data +18.9%)
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y: image +0.2% (text +0.9%, data +1.6%)
Additionally adjusts the CONFIG_UBSAN Kconfig help for clarity and removes
the mention of non-existing boot param "ubsan_handle".

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension
to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

kallsyms_lookup_name(), which was exported as part of fixing the test in
f60d24d2ad04 ("hw-breakpoints: Fix broken hw-breakpoint sample module").
In preparation for un-exporting this symbol, switch the test over to using
__symbol_get(), which can be used to place breakpoints on exported

Patch series "Unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()".
Despite having just a single modular in-tree user that I could spot,
kallsyms_lookup_name() is exported to modules and provides a mechanism
for out-of-tree modules to access and invoke arbitrary, non-exported
kernel symbols when kallsyms is enabled.
This patch series fixes up that one user and unexports the symbol along
with kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), since that could also be abused in a
similar manner.
I would like to avoid out-of-tree modules being easily able to call
functions that are not exported. kallsyms_lookup_name() makes this
trivial to the point that there is very little incentive to rework these
modules to either use upstream interfaces correctly or propose
functionality which may be otherwise missing upstream. Both of these
latter solutions would be pre-requisites to upstreaming these modules, and
the current state of things actively discourages that approach.
The background here is that we are aiming for Android devices to be able
to use a generic binary kernel image closely following upstream, with any
vendor extensions coming in as kernel modules. In this case, we (Google)
end up maintaining the binary module ABI within the scope of a single LTS
kernel. Monitoring and managing the ABI surface is not feasible if it
effectively includes all data and functions via kallsyms_lookup_name().
Of course, we could just carry this patch in the Android kernel tree, but
we're aiming to carry as little as possible (ideally nothing) and I think
it's a sensible change in its own right. I'm surprised you object to it,
in all honesty.
Now, you could turn around and say "that's not upstream's problem", but it
still seems highly undesirable to me to have an upstream bypass for
exported symbols that isn't even used by upstream modules. It's ripe for
abuse and encourages people to work outside of the upstream tree. The
usual rule is that we don't export symbols without a user in the tree and
that seems especially relevant in this case.
Joe Lawrence said:
: FWIW, kallsyms was historically used by the out-of-tree kpatch support
: module to resolve external symbols as well as call set_memory_r{w,o}()
: API. All of that support code has been merged upstream, so modern kpatch
: modules* no longer leverage kallsyms by default.
:
: That said, there are still some users who still use the deprecated support
: module with newer kernels, but that is not officially supported by the
: project.
This patch (of 3):
Given the name of a kernel symbol, the 'data_breakpoint' test claims to
"report any write operations on the kernel symbol". However, it creates
the breakpoint using both HW_BREAKPOINT_W and HW_BREAKPOINT_R, which menas
it also fires for read access.
Drop HW_BREAKPOINT_R from the breakpoint attributes.

Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set
ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling
interrupts. Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a
spinlock after disabling interrupts. So let's re-work how we determine
the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel.
Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the
current nesting level during ep_poll_callback(). Then, if we nest again
we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and
increase our count by 1. The 'nests' field is protected by
ep->poll_wait.lock.
I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll
from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which
is typical for a production config.

This testcase repeats epollbug.c from the bug:

What it tests? It tests the race between epoll_ctl() and epoll_wait().
New event mask passed to epoll_ctl() triggers wake up, which can be missed
because of the bug described in the link. Reproduction is 100%, so easy
to fix. Kudos, Max, for wonderful test case.

According to Devicetree maintainers (see Link: below), the Devicetree
binding documents are preferrably licensed (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause).
Let's check that. The actual check is a bit more relaxed, to allow more
liberal but compatible licensing (e.g. GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-2-Clause).

Linux kernel coding style requires a size of 8 characters for both TAB and
indentation, and such value is embedded as magic value allover the
checkpatch script.
This makes hard to reuse the script by other projects with different
requirements in their coding style (e.g. OpenOCD [1] requires TAB size of
4 characters [2]).
Replace the magic value 8 with a variable.
Add a command-line option "--tab-size" to let the user select a
TAB size value other than 8.

Commit 1574a29f8e76 ("checkpatch: allow multiple const * types") claims to
support repetition of pattern "const *", but it actually allows only one
extra instance.
Check the following lines
int a(char const * const x[]);
int b(char const * const *x);
int c(char const * const * const x[]);
int d(char const * const * const *x);
with command
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --show-types -f filename
to find that only the first line passes the test, while a warning
is triggered by the other 3 lines:
WARNING:FUNCTION_ARGUMENTS: function definition argument
'char const * const' should also have an identifier name
The reason is that the pattern match halts at the second asterisk in the
line, thus the remaining text starting with asterisk fails to match a
valid name for a variable.
Fixed by replacing "?" (Match 1 or 0 times) with "{0,4}" (Match no more
than 4 times) in the regular expression. Fix also the similar test for
types in unusual order.

In order to support the get-lore-mbox.py tool described in [1], I ran:
git format-patch --base=<commit> --cover-letter <revrange>
... which generated a "base-commit: <commit-hash>" tag at the end of the
cover letter. However, checkpatch.pl generated an error upon encounting
"base-commit:" in the cover letter:
"ERROR: Please use git commit description style..."
... because it found the "commit" keyword, and failed to recognize that
it was part of the "base-commit" phrase, and as such, should not be
subjected to the same commit description style rules.
Update checkpatch.pl to include a special case for "base-commit:" (at the
start of the line, possibly with some leading whitespace) so that that tag
no longer generates a checkpatch error.

About 2% of the last 100K commits have email addresses that include an
RFC2822 compliant comment like:
Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to
the submitted author to determine if the author has signed-off and emits a

Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment

GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL() are supposed to be called with the high bit as
the first argument and the low bit as the second argument. Mixing them
will return a mask with zero bits set.
Recent commits show getting this wrong is not uncommon, see e.g. commit
aa4c0c9091b0 ("net: stmmac: Fix misuses of GENMASK macro") and commit
9bdd7bb3a844 ("clocksource/drivers/npcm: Fix misuse of GENMASK macro").
To prevent such mistakes from appearing again, add compile time sanity
checking to the arguments of GENMASK() and GENMASK_ULL(). If both
arguments are known at compile time, and the low bit is higher than the
high bit, break the build to detect the mistake immediately.
Since GENMASK() is used in declarations, BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() must be used
instead of BUILD_BUG_ON().
__builtin_constant_p does not evaluate is argument, it only checks if it
is a constant or not at compile time, and __builtin_choose_expr does not
evaluate the expression that is not chosen. Therefore, GENMASK(x++, 0)
does only evaluate x++ once.
Commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends
available in assembly") made the macros in linux/bits.h available in
assembly. Since BUILD_BUG_OR_ZERO() is not asm compatible, disable the
checks if the file is included in an asm file.
Due to bugs in GCC versions before 4.9 [0], disable the check if building
with a too old GCC compiler.

The tests for initializing a variable defined between a switch statement's
test and its first "case" statement are currently not initialized in
Clang[1] nor the proposed auto-initialization feature in GCC.
We should retain the test (so that we can evaluate compiler fixes), but
mark it as an "expected fail". The rest of the kernel source will be
adjusted to avoid this corner case.
Also disable -Wswitch-unreachable for the test so that the intentionally
broken code won't trigger warnings for GCC (nor future Clang) when
initialization happens this unhandled place.

introduced in C99:
struct foo {

file_path=<path> defines file or directory to open
lock_inode=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to inode->i_rwsem
lock_mapping=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to mapping->i_mmap_rwsem
lock_sb_umount=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to sb->s_umount
This gives safe and simple way to see how system reacts to contention of
common vfs locks and how syscalls depend on them directly or indirectly.
For example to block s_umount for 60 seconds:
# modprobe test_lockup file_path=. lock_sb_umount time_secs=60 state=S
This is useful for checking/testing scalability issues like this:
