At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so, whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page. Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a generic core dumping helper in coredump.c. As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking at the file mode. This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid get_user() under the mmap_sem. (And arguably it looks nicer and makes more sense in generic code.) Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: ->anon_vma is only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA has been written to. Suggested-by:

Both fs/binfmt_elf.c and fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c need to dump ranges of pages into the coredump file. Extract that logic into a common helper. Signed-off-by:

dump_emit() has a retry loop, but there seems to be no way for that retry logic to actually be used; and it was also buggy, writing the same data repeatedly after a short write. Let's just bail out on a short write. Suggested-by:

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5. At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs. With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across unbounded sleeps".) Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core dumping code. Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their contents show up in the core dump properly. The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs. At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this issue (mmget_still_valid()). I have tested: - Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works. - The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible. - X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0. - NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.) This patch (of 7): dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory. Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS, even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block. One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use __get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will just call __get_user_pages() for us. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3. The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries. This patch (of 2): The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries. Tested by verifying program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading.

The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same name or same address are not handled separately. For example, running checkpatch on commit be6577af ("parisc: Add atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups"), gives: WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author 'John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>' The signoff line was: "Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>" Clearly the author has signed off but with a slightly different version of his name. A more appropriate warning would have been to point out at the name mismatch instead. Previously, the values assumed by $authorsignoff were either 0 or 1 to indicate whether a proper sign off by author is present. Extended the checks to handle four new cases. $authorsignoff values now denote the following: 0: Missing sign off by patch author. 1: Sign off present and identical. 2: Addresses and names match, but comments differ. "James Watson(JW) <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>" 3: Addresses match, but names are different. "James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James <james@gmail.com>" 4: Names match, but addresses are different. "James Watson <james@watson.com>", "James Watson <james@gmail.com>" 5: Names match, addresses excluding subaddress details (RFC 5233) match. "James Watson <james@gmail.com>", "James Watson <james+a@gmail.com>" Also introduced a new message type FROM_SIGN_OFF_MISMATCH for cases 2, 3, 4 and 5. Suggested-by:

Checkpatch.pl doesn't have a check for excluding while (...) {...} blocks from MULTISTATEMENT_MACRO_USE_DO_WHILE error. For example, running checkpatch.pl on the file mm/maccess.c in the kernel generates the following error: ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses +#define copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop(dst, src, len, type, err_label) \ + while (len >= sizeof(type)) { \ + __get_kernel_nofault(dst, src, type, err_label); \ + dst += sizeof(type); \ + src += sizeof(type); \ + len -= sizeof(type); \ + } The error is misleading for this case. Enclosing it in parentheses doesn't make any sense. Checkpatch already has an exception list for such common macro types. Added a new exception for while (...) {...} style blocks to the same. In addition, the brace flatten logic was modified by changing the substitution characters from "1" to "1u". This was done to ensure that macros in the form "#define foo(bar) while(bar){bar--;}" were also correctly procecssed.

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split into multiple lines. The author identity could not be resolved and checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning. A typical example is commit e33bcbab ("tee: add support for session's client UUID generation"). When checkpatch was run on this commit, it displayed: "WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author ''" This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the author himself wrote in commit cd261496 ("checkpatch: warn if missing author Signed-off-by"): "Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part is compared." Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension lines. RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start with a WSP character (a space or htab). The solution was therefore to concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long header. Suggested-by:

The uninitialized_var() macro was removed recently via commit 63a0895d ("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro") as it's not a particularly useful warning and its use can "paper over real bugs". Add a checkpatch test to warn on self-assignments as a means to avoid compiler warnings and as a back-door mechanism to reproduce the old uninitialized_var macro behavior.

There are commas used as statement terminations that should typically have used semicolons instead. Only direct assignments or use of a single function or value on a single line are detected by this test. e.g.: foo = bar(), /* typical use is semicolon not comma */ bar = baz(); Add an imperfect test to detect these comma uses. No false positives were found in testing, but many types of false negatives are possible. e.g.: foo = bar() + 1, /* comma use, but not direct assignment */ bar = baz(); Signed-off-by:

Kconfig allows to customize the CONFIG_ prefix via the $CONFIG_ environment variable. Out-of-tree projects may therefore use Kconfig with a different prefix, or they may use a custom configuration tool which does not use the CONFIG_ prefix at all. Such projects may still want to adhere to the Linux kernel coding style and run checkpatch.pl. One example is OP-TEE [1] which does not use Kconfig but does have configuration options prefixed with CFG_. It also mostly follows the kernel coding style and therefore being able to use checkpatch is quite valuable. To make this possible, add the --kconfig-prefix command line option.

Whether crc32_be needs a lookup table is chosen based on CRC_LE_BITS. Obviously, the _be function should be governed by the _BE_ define. This probably never pops up as it's hard to come up with a configuration where CRC_BE_BITS isn't the same as CRC_LE_BITS and as nobody is using bitwise CRC anyway.
