Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages have been freed. Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem pages being freed. Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably not such a big deal".

The memtype seq_file iterator allocates a buffer in the ->start and ->next functions and frees it in the ->show function. The preferred handling for such resources is to free them in the subsequent ->next or ->stop function call. Since Commit 1f4aace6 ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") there is no guarantee that ->show will be called after ->next, so this function can now leak memory. So move the freeing of the buffer to ->next and ->stop.

Patch series "Fix some seq_file users that were recently broken". A recent change to seq_file broke some users which were using seq_file in a non-"standard" way ... though the "standard" isn't documented, so they can be excused. The result is a possible leak - of memory in one case, of references to a 'transport' in the other. These three patches: 1/ document and explain the problem 2/ fix the problem user in x86 3/ fix the problem user in net/sctp This patch (of 3): Users of seq_file will sometimes find it convenient to take a resource, such as a lock or memory allocation, in the ->start or ->next operations. These are per-entry resources, distinct from per-session resources which are taken in ->start and released in ->stop. The preferred management of these is release the resource on the subsequent call to ->next or ->stop. However prior to Commit 1f4aace6 ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") it happened that ->show would always be called after ->start or ->next, and a few users chose to release the resource in ->show. This is no longer reliable. Since the mentioned commit, ->next will always come after a successful ->show (to ensure m->index is updated correctly), so the original ordering cannot be maintained. This patch updates the documentation to clearly state the required behaviour. Other patches will fix the few problematic users.

This code hunk creates a Version_<LINUX_VERSION_CODE> symbol if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled. For example, building the kernel v5.10 for allnoconfig creates the following symbol: $ nm vmlinux | grep Version_ c116b028 B Version_330240 There is no in-tree user of this symbol. Commit 197dcffc ("init/version.c: define version_string only if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not defined") mentions that Version_* is only used with ksymoops. However, a commit in the pre-git era [1] had added the statement, "ksymoops is useless on 2.6. Please use the Oops in its original format". That statement existed until commit 4eb92411 ("Documentation: admin-guide: update bug-hunting.rst") finally removed the stale ksymoops information. This symbol is no longer needed.

objtool requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol names that have a '.L' prefix do not emit symbol table entries, as they have special meaning for the assembler. '.L' prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be avoided for denoting a range of code via 'SYM_*_START/END' annotations. Add a new check to emit a warning on finding the usage of '.L' symbols for '.S' files, if it denotes range of code via SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.

Avoid multiple false positives by ignoring attributes.

Use copies of $sline and $prevline, remove $Attribute and $Sparse, and use the existing tests to avoid these false positives. Miscellanea: o Add volatile to $Attribute This also reduces checkpatch runtime a bit by moving the indentation comparison test to the start of the block to avoid multiple unnecessary regex tests.

Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot. So that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is disabled. The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on. Without this patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable. By default, it's 8M which is never trivial. With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off, stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted memory for the hashtable.

Use CONFIG_STACK_HASH_ORDER to configure STACK_HASH_SIZE. Aim is to have configurable value for STACK_HASH_SIZE, so depend on use case one can configure it. One example is of Page Owner, CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER works only if page_owner=on via kernel parameter on CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system. Thus, unless admin enable it via command line option, the stackdepot will just waste 8M memory without any customer. Making it configurable and use lower value helps to enable features like CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without any significant overhead.

Since sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler we have been pre-allocating a buffer to copy the data from the proc handlers into, and then copying that to userspace. The problem is this just blindly kzalloc()'s the buffer size passed in from the read, which in the case of our 'cat' binary was 64kib. Order-4 allocations are not awesome, and since we can potentially allocate up to our maximum order, so use kvzalloc for these buffers.

This change provides a simpler implementation of mte_get_mem_tag(), mte_get_random_tag(), and mte_set_mem_tag_range(). Simplifications include removing system_supports_mte() checks as these functions are onlye called from KASAN runtime that had already checked system_supports_mte(). Besides that, size and address alignment checks are removed from mte_set_mem_tag_range(), as KASAN now does those. This change also moves these functions into the asm/mte-kasan.h header and implements mte_set_mem_tag_range() via inline assembly to avoid unnecessary functions calls.

A previous changes d99f6a10 ("kasan: don't round_up too much") attempted to simplify the code by adding a round_up(size) call into kasan_poison(). While this allows to have less round_up() calls around the code, this results in round_up() being called multiple times. This patch removes round_up() of size from kasan_poison() and ensures that all callers round_up() the size explicitly. This patch also adds WARN_ON() alignment checks for address and size to kasan_poison() and kasan_unpoison().

Currently, krealloc() always calls ksize(), which unpoisons the whole object including the redzone. This is inefficient, as kasan_krealloc() repoisons the redzone for objects that fit into the same buffer. This patch changes krealloc() instrumentation to use uninstrumented __ksize() that doesn't unpoison the memory. Instead, kasan_kreallos() is changed to unpoison the memory excluding the redzone. For objects that don't fit into the old allocation, this patch disables KASAN accessibility checks when copying memory into a new object instead of unpoisoning it.

Currently, if krealloc() is called on a freed object with KASAN enabled, it allocates and returns a new object, but doesn't copy any memory from the old one as ksize() returns 0. This makes the caller believe that krealloc() succeeded (KASAN report is printed though). This patch adds an accessibility check into __do_krealloc(). If the check fails, krealloc() returns NULL. This check duplicates the one in ksize(); this is fixed in the following patch. This patch also adds a KASAN-KUnit test to check krealloc() behaviour when it's called on a freed object.
