<title>ia64: fix sparse warnings with cmpxchg() &amp; xchg()</title>

<content type='text'>
On IA64, new sparse's warnings where issued after fixing some __rcu
annotations in kernel/bpf/.

These new warnings are false positives and appear on IA64 because on this
architecture, the macros for cmpxchg() and xchg() make casts that ignore
sparse annotations.

This patch contains the minimal patch to fix this issue: adding a missing
cast and some missing '__force'.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 5.18-rc1.

  Nothing major, some more good cleanups from Jiri and 2 new serial
  drivers. Highlights include:

   - termbits cleanups

   - export symbol cleanups and other core cleanups from Jiri Slaby

   - new sunplus and mvebu uart drivers (amazing that people are still
     creating new uarts...)

   - samsung serial driver cleanups

   - ldisc 29 is now "reserved" for experimental/development line
     disciplines

   - lots of other tiny fixes and cleanups to serial drivers and
     bindings

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

linux/signal.h and asm/signal.h are currently excluded from the UAPI
compile-test because of the errors like follows:

    HDRTEST usr/include/asm/signal.h
  In file included from &lt;command-line&gt;:
  ./usr/include/asm/signal.h:103:9: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’
    103 |         size_t ss_size;
        |         ^~~~~~

The errors can be fixed by replacing size_t with __kernel_size_t.

Then, remove the no-header-test entries from user/include/Makefile.

<title>printk: Userspace format indexing support</title>

<published>2021-06-15T16:52:53Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=337015573718b161891a3473d25f59273f2e626b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:337015573718b161891a3473d25f59273f2e626b</id>
<content type='text'>
We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their
functionality that works as follows:

1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole;
2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message;
3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
   remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.

As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.

While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.

Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.

As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a
number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear
entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change
in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to
silently fail.

One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.

This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.

Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.

This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted
printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at
compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
&lt;debugfs&gt;/printk/index/&lt;module&gt;, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:

    $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
    # &lt;level[,flags]&gt; filename:line function "format"
    &lt;5&gt; block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
    &lt;4&gt; kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
    &lt;6&gt; arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
    &lt;6&gt; init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
    &lt;6&gt; drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n"

This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.

There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

<content type='text'>
We'd like all architectures to convert to ARCH_ATOMIC, as once all
architectures are converted it will be possible to make significant
cleanups to the atomics headers, and this will make it much easier to
generically enable atomic functionality (e.g. debug logic in the
instrumented wrappers).

As a step towards that, this patch migrates ia64 to ARCH_ATOMIC. The
arch code provides arch_{atomic,atomic64,xchg,cmpxchg}*(), and common
code wraps these with optional instrumentation to provide the regular
functions.

The definition if xchg() causes a harmless warning in some files, like:

                 from ../fs/nfs/read.c:12:
../fs/nfs/read.c: In function 'nfs_read_completion':

Change it to a compound expression like the other architectures have
to get a clean defconfig build.
