cfaff0e515 lib/uuid: add a test module
It appears that somehow I missed a test of the latest UUID rework which
landed in the kernel.  Present a small test module to avoid such cases
in the future.

7e0fb73c52 Merge branch 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux
Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
 "This series does several related things:

   - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.

     (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)

   - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the
     above.

   - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms.  Two
     32-bit multiplies will do well enough.

   - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.

     This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca ("Minimal
     fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")

     The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
     32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
     multipliers.

     The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
     Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added.  Those
     patches are last in the series.

   - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.

     The patch in commit 0fed3ac866 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
     CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
     Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
     faster and better.  (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
     in the literature I could find.  Comments welcome!)

   - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX().  This
     would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.

   - Sort out partial_name_hash().

     The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
     it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
     contributes nothing to the result.  And some callers do odd things:

      - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
      - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes

   - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
     rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1.  This would simplify users other
     than full_name_hash"

  Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1.  (I
  learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)

  On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
  standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
  maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
  omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
  the H8/300 world"

468a942852 <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions
This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet.

This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares
the existence of <asm/hash.h>.

That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define
HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones.

Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics.
It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute
the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with
the value 1, then equality is tested.

cd11016e5f mm, kasan: stackdepot implementation. Enable stackdepot for SLAB
Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT.  Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks.  The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.

IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.

Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.  Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.

This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.

Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

5c9a8750a6 kernel: add kcov code coverage
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

c6d308534a UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker
UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.

GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

[2] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html
[3] - http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/10/16/gcc-undefined-behavior-sanitizer-ubsan/

f594870189 lib/clz_tab.c: put in lib-y rather than obj-y
The clz table (__clz_tab) in lib/clz_tab.c is also provided as part of
libgcc.a, and many architectures link against libgcc.  To allow the
linker to avoid a multiple-definition link failure, clz_tab.o has to be
in lib/lib.a rather than lib/builtin.o.  The specific issue is that
libgcc.a comes before lib/builtin.o on vmlinux.o's link command line, so
its _clz.o is pulled to satisfy __clz_tab, and then when the remainder
of lib/builtin.o is pulled in to satisfy all the other dependencies, the
__clz_tab symbols conflict.  By putting clz_tab.o in lib.a, the linker
can simply avoid pulling it into vmlinux.o when this situation arises.

The definitions of __clz_tab are the same in libgcc.a and in the kernel;
arguably we could also simply rename the kernel version, but it's
unlikely the libgcc version will ever change to become incompatible, so
just using it seems reasonably safe.

02fff96a79 net: add support for netdev notifier error injection
This module allows to insert errors in some of netdevice's notifier
events. All network drivers use these notifiers to signal various events
and to check if they are allowed, e.g. PRECHANGEMTU and CHANGEMTU
afterwards. Until recently I had to run failure tests by injecting
a custom module, but now this infrastructure makes it trivial to test
these failure paths. Some of the recent bugs I fixed were found using
this module.
Here's an example:
 $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev
 $ echo -22 > actions/NETDEV_CHANGEMTU/error
 $ ip link set eth0 mtu 1024

707cc7280f test_printf: test printf family at runtime
This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities.
Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case
the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf().  This
should help catch such issues.  Also, it should help ensure that changes
to the formatting algorithms don't break anything.

I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at
boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be
testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting.

The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional
table-driven approach.

For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very
welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the
expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime
values etc.

 "Main changes in this cycle are:

   - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
     (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
     (atomic_{set,clear}_mask())

     The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
     architectures and with incomplete support.  Now every architecture
     supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':

       - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
       - atomic_read_acquire()
       - atomic_set_release()

     This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)

   - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
     by introducing a new one:

       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

     which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
     value.

     Then allow:

       static_branch_likely()
       static_branch_unlikely()

     to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
     case.  To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
     in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)

   - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)

   - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

f8bcbe62ac lib: scatterlist: add sg splitting function
Sometimes a scatter-gather has to be split into several chunks, or sub
scatter lists. This happens for example if a scatter list will be
handled by multiple DMA channels, each one filling a part of it.

A concrete example comes with the media V4L2 API, where the scatter list
is allocated from userspace to hold an image, regardless of the
knowledge of how many DMAs will fill it :
 - in a simple RGB565 case, one DMA will pump data from the camera ISP
   to memory
 - in the trickier YUV422 case, 3 DMAs will pump data from the camera
   ISP pipes, one for pipe Y, one for pipe U and one for pipe V

For these cases, it is necessary to split the original scatter list into
multiple scatter lists, which is the purpose of this patch.

The guarantees that are required for this patch are :
 - the intersection of spans of any couple of resulting scatter lists is
   empty.
 - the union of spans of all resulting scatter lists is a subrange of
   the span of the original scatter list.
 - streaming DMA API operations (mapping, unmapping) should not happen
   both on both the resulting and the original scatter list. It's either
   the first or the later ones.
 - the caller is reponsible to call kfree() on the resulting
   scatterlists.

b2c0b2cbb2 nmi: create generic NMI backtrace implementation
x86s NMI backtrace implementation (for arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace())
is fairly generic in nature - the only architecture specific bits are
the act of raising the NMI to other CPUs, and reporting the status of
the NMI handler.

These are fairly simple to factor out, and produce a generic
implementation which can be shared between ARM and x86.

50ab9a6927 kbuild: include core debug info when DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED, we do get quite a lot of debug info
(around 22.7 MB for a defconfig+DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED). However, the
"basenames must match" rule used by -femit-struct-debug-baseonly
option means that we miss some core data structures, such as struct
{device, file, inode, mm_struct, page} etc.

We can easily get these included as well, while still getting the
benefits of CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED (faster build times and smaller
individual object files): All it takes is a dummy translation unit
including a few strategic headers and compiled with a flag overriding

2da572c959 lib: add software 842 compression/decompression
Add 842-format software compression and decompression functions.
Update the MAINTAINERS 842 section to include the new files.

The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842
compression format.  The 842 decompression function can decompress any
standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed
data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a
compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located
in PowerPC coprocessors).

The 842 compressed data format is explained in the header comments.

This is used in a later patch to provide a full software 842 compression
and decompression crypto interface.

10b88a4b17 sparc: Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock
Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet
interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by
lockstat, with something of the order of  21M contentions out of
27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock.
This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc
model, where the iommu_table has multiple pools, each stretching
over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool.
This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search.

This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure.

8d58e99af5 seq_buf: Move the seq_buf code to lib/
The seq_buf functions are rather useful outside of tracing. Instead
of having it be dependent on CONFIG_TRACING, move the code into lib/
and allow other users to have access to it even when tracing is not
configured.

The seq_buf utility is similar to the seq_file utility, but instead of
writing sending data back up to userland, it writes it into a buffer
defined at seq_buf_init(). This allows us to send a descriptor around
that writes printf() formatted strings into it that can be retrieved
later.

It is currently used by the tracing facility for such things like trace
events to convert its binary saved data in the ring buffer into an
ASCII human readable context to be displayed in /sys/kernel/debug/trace.

It can also be used for doing NMI prints safely from NMI context into
the seq_buf and retrieved later and dumped to printk() safely. Doing
printk() from an NMI context is dangerous because an NMI can preempt
a current printk() and deadlock on it.

8a6f0b47da lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM
The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
modules (LKM).  The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
convention.  The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
module.

Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
it.  The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
the autoconf.h header file during the build process.  When a feature is
selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
indicate it.

	switch (*value) {
	case 'n':
		break;
	case 'm':
		suffix = "_MODULE";
		/* fall through */

This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
use of the "_MODULE" suffix.

This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
"TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.
