Even if gcc were that smart, this construction would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call and then the open-coded loop. Let's simply use strreplace() instead.

Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often '/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a single function call and a single pass over the string. One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call). Signed-off-by:

bitmap_print_to_pagebuf uses scnprintf to copy the cpumask/list to page buffer. It handles the newline and trailing null character explicitly. It's unnecessary and also partially duplicated as scnprintf already adds trailing null character. The newline can be passed through format string to scnprintf. This patch does that simplification. However theoretically there's one behavior difference: when the buffer is too small, the original code would still output '\n' at the end while the new code(with this patch) would just continue to print the formatted string. Since this function is dealing with only page buffers, it's highly unlikely to hit that corner case. This patch will help in auditing the users of bitmap_print_to_pagebuf to verify that the buffer passed is large enough and get rid of it completely by replacing them with direct scnprintf() [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment] Signed-off-by:

In case the call side is not providing a swap function, we either use a 32 bit or a generic swap function. When swapping around pointers on 64 bit architectures falling back to use the generic swap function seems like an unnecessary waste. There at least 9 users ('sort' is of difficult to grep for) of sort() and all of them use the sort function without a customized swap function. Furthermore, they are all using pointers to swap around: arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:sanitize_e820_map() arch/x86/mm/extable.c:sort_extable() drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps() fs/btrfs/super.c:btrfs_descending_sort_devices() fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_block.c:xfs_dir2_sf_to_block() kernel/range.c:clean_sort_range() mm/memcontrol.c:__mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:snd_hda_parse_pin_defcfg() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:sort_pins_by_sequence() Obviously, we could improve the swap for other sizes as well but this is overkill at this point. A simple test shows sorting a 400 element array (try to stay in one page) with either with u32_swap() or u64_swap() show that the theory actually works.

bitmap_parselist("", &mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in the mask. The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g. if you boot with "isolcpus=", you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated. The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420 ("bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.

Section headers can be quite long and some are very long and duplicated for many initial characters. The current maximum length emitted for a section header is 20 bytes (or 17 bytes then ... when the section header length is > 20). Change that length to 50 so more of the section is shown.

Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM: "from_file handling makes me cry. That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values currently defined. But the code in check_syslog_permissions() treats it as a boolean and also hardwires the knowledge that SYSLOG_FROM_PROC == 1 (or == `true`). And the name is wrong: it should be called from_proc to match SYSLOG_FROM_PROC." Signed-off-by:

The final version of commit 637241a9 ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are processed incorrectly: - open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if dmesg_restrict is set. - syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then directly in do_syslog()) With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed to regular console drivers. It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to netconsole consumers. This obviously makes logging via netconsole more complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g. when netconsole is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to travel congested hops to reach the aggregator. The lost and reordered messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the sequence numbers. printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by setting CON_EXTENDED flag. From console driver side, not much changes. The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs. When enabled, netconsole transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg output. There's one complication due to message fragments. netconsole limits the maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into multiple fragments. As all extended console messages should carry matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to identify the specific fragment. The optional header is of the form "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and LEN is the total length. To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is configured. Signed-off-by:

Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex to synchronize the configuration operations. This patch replaces the per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single mutex - dynamic_netconsole_mutex. The reduced granularity doesn't hurt anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic netconsoles. Signed-off-by:

write_msg() grabs target_list_lock and walks target_list invoking netpool_send_udp() on each target. Curiously, it protects each iteration with netconsole_target_get/put() even though it never releases target_list_lock which protects all the members. While this doesn't harm anything, it doesn't serve any purpose either. The items on the list can't go away while target_list_lock is held. Remove the unnecessary get/put pair. Signed-off-by:

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary, which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost in transit. This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n" If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects /dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by this change. * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there are registered extended consoles. * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log information which enables things like structured logging and detection of lost messages. This patch (of 7): devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't that complicated. This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read() so that it limits output accordingly. Signed-off-by:

clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system call entry point across architectures. The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt into this. These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if anyone would prefer that. This patch (of 2): clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls in). Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific position of the tls argument. However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments. Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into, and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass that down to copy_thread_tls. Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone syscall.

Cleanup commit 73679e50 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier() intrinsics. However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided. Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm statements. I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?) and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that cleanup would be simplest option.

As gcc major version numbers are going to advance rather rapidly in the future, there's no real value in separate files for each compiler version. Deduplicate some of the macros #defined in each file too. Neaten comments using normal kernel commenting style. Signed-off-by:

Commit 81841161 ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS) because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore. I would like to use it in rkt. The rkt process exec() another program it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child process. I would like to find the pid of the child process from an external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find which one has a parent pid equal to rkt. This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it. This allows enabling /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT. Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE Signed-off-by:

/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with $ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether. People noticed and ask questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory. To not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary sized command lines. I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]". The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count. There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

Individual prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) calls do some checking to maintain a consistent view of mm->arg_start et al fields, but not enough. In particular PR_SET_MM_ARG_START/PR_SET_MM_ARG_END/ R_SET_MM_ENV_START/ PR_SET_MM_ENV_END only check that the address lies in an existing VMA, but don't check that the start address is lower than the end address _at all_. Consolidate all consistency checks, so there will be no difference in the future between PR_SET_MM_MAP and individual PR_SET_MM_* calls. The program below makes both ARGV and ENVP areas be reversed. It makes /proc/$PID/cmdline show garbage (it doesn't oops by luck). #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <unistd.h> enum {PAGE_SIZE=4096}; int main(void) { void *p; p = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); #define PR_SET_MM 35 #define PR_SET_MM_ARG_START 8 #define PR_SET_MM_ARG_END 9 #define PR_SET_MM_ENV_START 10 #define PR_SET_MM_ENV_END 11 prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_START, (unsigned long)p + PAGE_SIZE - 1, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_END, (unsigned long)p, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ENV_START, (unsigned long)p + PAGE_SIZE - 1, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ENV_END, (unsigned long)p, 0, 0); pause(); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tidy code, tweak comment] Signed-off-by:
