Using break; after a goto or return is unnecessary so emit a warning
when the break is at the same indent level.
So this emits a warning on:
switch (foo) {
case 1:
goto err;
break;
}
but not on:
switch (foo) {
case 1:
if (bar())
goto err;
break;

blocks.
ie:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
int foo = bar();
if (foo < 1)
break;
else
usleep(1);
}
is generally better written as:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.
These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.
Emit a warning on these types of messages.
This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"
ie: this code matches:
foo = kmalloc();
if (foo == NULL) {
printk("Out of memory\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
This test is very crude and incomplete.
This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.
ie: this code does not match:
foo = kmalloc();
if (!foo) {
rtn = -ENOMEM;
printk("Out of memory!\n");
goto out;
}
This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.
spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for
that tool too.

Russell writes:
These updates fix one bug in the component helper where the matched
components are not properly cleaned up when the master fails to bind.
I'll provide a version of this for stable trees if it's deemed that
we need to backport it.
The second patch causes the component helper to ignore duplicate
matches when adding components - this is something that was originally
needed for imx-drm, but since that has now been updated, we no longer
need to skip over a component which has already been matched.
The final patch starts the process of updating the component helper
API to achieve two goals: to allow the API to be more efficient when
deferred probing occurs, and to allow for future improvements to the
component helper without having a major impact on the users.
This represents groundwork for some other changes; once this has been
merged, I will then send two further pull requests (one for the staging
tree, and one for the DRM tree) to update the drivers to the new API.
This will result in these three commits being shared with those trees.

On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load
the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc
table should only reference the first of these, so the second is
filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that
immediately follow the previous one seen.
However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second
relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0
being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one
seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table.
This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent)
instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so:
0xffffffffc08a8000: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8014
0xffffffffc08a8004: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8018
0xffffffffc08a8008: 2d 08 e0 03 move at,ra
...
The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is
defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was
encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception.
Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0
to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

However, most of the text you get is pure garbage.
The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of
different kernel code versions and various configurations being used,
the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really
helpful in determining where the problem actually occured.
Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the
person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line'
translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the
issue (and really annoying).
The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more
useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the
stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would
look like this:
[ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52)
[ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418)
[ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453)
[ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0
[ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728)
[ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939)
[ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766)
It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump
before.
Usage is pretty simple:
./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path]
Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path
is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example:
./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log
The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe
the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).

For example,
$ scripts/objdiff record init drivers/usb
disassembles all the objects under init and drivers/usb directories.
This feature would be useful when we change various files under the
specific directory.

Prior to this commit, the command "scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o"
disassembled the given object into ".tmp_objdiff/path/to/*.o" file.
The problem here is that recorded disassemblies are lost if we run
"make clean" because it removes all the *.o files.
Disassembled code should be dumped into *.dis instead of *.o files.

Prior to this commit, scripts/objdiff expected to be run at the top
directory and only the relative path of objects.
This commit provides more flexibility in terms of object path:
[1] scripts/objdiff can be run in any directory
For example,
$ scripts/objdiff record init/main.o
and
$ cd init; ../scripts/objdiff record main.o
produce the same result.
[2] Support absolute path for objects
$ scripts/objdiff record /home/foo/bar/linux/init/main.o
work as well.

This commit is a minor refactoring.
Temporary files for objdiff are stored in .tmp_objdiff directory
which is located at the top directory.
To get the path to this directory,
SRCTREE=`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
TMPD=$SRCTREE/.tmp_objdiff
seems easier to understand than
GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir`
TMPD=${GIT_DIR%git}tmp_objdiff
Besides, it is not always necessary to create .tmp_objdiff dicrectory.
It should be created only for "record" command.

The Debian s390x architecture has 64-bit userland whereas s390 has
32-bit userland. A 64-bit kernel can be used with either. Now that
Debian supports multiarch and officially supports s390x, it makes more
sense to assign a 64-bit kernel package to s390x.

This semantic patch looks for variables that are initialized with a
constant, are never updated, and are only used as parameter of return.
Return the constant instead of using a variable.
