The linux-distros list relaxed their rules to try to adapt better to how the Linux kernel works. Let's update the Coordination part to explain why and when to contact them or not to and how to avoid trouble in the future.

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct irq_affinity_devres. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael@kernel.org> Cc: "Gustavo A. R.

Since commit 636b21b5 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem"), mmappable sysfs entries have started to receive their f_mapping from the iomem pseudo filesystem, so that CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is honored in sysfs (and procfs) as well as in /dev/[k]mem. This resulted in a userspace-visible regression: 1. Open a sysfs PCI resource file (eg. /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource0) 2. Use lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END) to determine its size Expected result: a PCI region size is returned. Actual result: 0 is returned. The reason is that PCI resource files residing in sysfs use generic_file_llseek(), which relies on f_mapping->host inode to get the file size. As f_mapping is now redefined, f_mapping->host points to an anonymous zero-sized iomem_inode which has nothing to do with sysfs file in question. Implement a custom llseek method for sysfs PCI resources, which is almost the same as proc_bus_pci_lseek() used for procfs entries. This makes sysfs and procfs entries consistent with regards to seeking, but also introduces userspace-visible changes to seeking PCI resources in sysfs: - SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE are no longer supported; - Seeking past the end of the file is prohibited while previously offsets up to MAX_NON_LFS were accepted (reading from these offsets was always invalid).

Valentine Sinitsyn authored
As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek(). There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic: - Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at some later point making debugging harder. - generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size which might not be correct for all sysfs entries. See commit 636b21b5 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example. Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute level. The method is optional, and if it is absent, generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely are not available when the code is built-in. There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64 allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for W=1 builds. The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented since commit 0db25245 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference .init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the same way.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit(). User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit for little and big endian CPUs. Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func() (which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task. Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead, the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e by having the polling code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified "buffer percent" had. The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again. Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this definitely is not the desired effect. To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the "shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the buffer is not as full as it expects to be. Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the 11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.
