2020-06-22Revert "Makefile: install modules.builtin even if CONFIG_MODULES=n"Masahiro Yamada1-11/+3
This reverts commit e0b250b57dcf403529081e5898a9de717f96b76b, which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'. $ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1 While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install" can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas originally suggested. Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.

2020-06-17kconfig: unify cc-option and as-optionMasahiro Yamada3-9/+2
cc-option and as-option are almost the same; both pass the flag to $(CC). The main difference is the cc-option stops before the assemble stage (-S option) whereas as-option stops after (-c option). I chose -S because it is slightly faster, but $(cc-option,-gz=zlib) returns a wrong result (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/9/1529). It has been fixed by commit 7b16994437c7 ("Makefile: Improve compressed debug info support detection"), but the assembler should always be invoked for more reliable compiler option tests. However, you cannot simply replace -S with -c because the following code in lib/Kconfig.debug would break: depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf) The combination of -c and -gsplit-dwarf does not accept /dev/null as output. $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -S -x c - -o /dev/null $ echo $? 0 $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -c -x c - -o /dev/null objcopy: Warning: '/dev/null' is not an ordinary file $ echo $? 1 $ cat /dev/null | gcc -gsplit-dwarf -c -x c - -o tmp.o $ echo $? 0 There is another flag that creates an separate file based on the object file path: $ cat /dev/null | gcc -ftest-coverage -c -x c - -o /dev/null <stdin>:1: error: cannot open /dev/null.gcno So, we cannot use /dev/null to sink the output. Align the cc-option implementation with scripts/Kbuild.include. With -c option used in cc-option, as-option is unneeded.

2020-06-17kbuild: improve cc-option to clean up all temporary filesMasahiro Yamada1-5/+6
When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is .<pid>.tmp, here <pid> is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of .<pid>.dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_<pid>/tmp, and removes .tmp_<pid> directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into <base-name-of-object>.gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-06-15Makefile: Improve compressed debug info support detectionArvind Sankar2-2/+2
Commit 10e68b02c861 ("Makefile: support compressed debug info") added support for compressed debug sections. Support is detected by checking - does the compiler support -gz=zlib - does the assembler support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib - does the linker support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib However, the gcc driver's support for this option is somewhat convoluted. The driver's builtin specs are set based on the version of binutils that it was configured with. It reports an error if the configure-time linker/assembler (i.e., not necessarily the actual assembler that will be run) do not support the option, but only if the assembler (or linker) is actually invoked when -gz=zlib is passed. The cc-option check in scripts/Kconfig.include does not invoke the assembler, so the gcc driver reports success even if it does not support the option being passed to the assembler. Because the as-option check passes the option directly to the assembler via -Wa,--compressed-debug-sections=zlib, the gcc driver does not see this option and will never report an error. Combined with an installed version of binutils that is more recent than the one the compiler was built with, it is possible for all three tests to succeed, yet an actual compilation with -gz=zlib to fail. Moreover, it is unnecessary to explicitly pass --compressed-debug-sections=zlib to the assembler via -Wa, since the driver will do that automatically when it supports -gz=zlib. Convert the as-option to just -gz=zlib, simplifying it as well as performing a better test of the gcc driver's capabilities.

2020-06-14security: Add LSM hooks to set*gid syscallsThomas Cedeno5-1/+40
The SafeSetID LSM uses the security_task_fix_setuid hook to filter set*uid() syscalls according to its configured security policy. In preparation for adding analagous support in the LSM for set*gid() syscalls, we add the requisite hook here. Tested by putting print statements in the security_task_fix_setgid hook and seeing them get hit during kernel boot.

2020-06-14Revert "btrfs: switch to iomap_dio_rw() for dio"David Sterba4-166/+169
This reverts commit a43a67a2d715540c1368b9501a22b0373b5874c0. This patch reverts the main part of switching direct io implementation to iomap infrastructure. There's a problem in invalidate page that couldn't be solved as regression in this development cycle. The problem occurs when buffered and direct io are mixed, and the ranges overlap. Although this is not recommended, filesystems implement measures or fallbacks to make it somehow work. In this case, fallback to buffered IO would be an option for btrfs (this already happens when direct io is done on compressed data), but the change would be needed in the iomap code, bringing new semantics to other filesystems. Another problem arises when again the buffered and direct ios are mixed, invalidation fails, then -EIO is set on the mapping and fsync will fail, though there's no real error. There have been discussions how to fix that, but revert seems to be the least intrusive option.

2020-06-13net: ethernet: ti: ale: fix allmulti for nu type aleGrygorii Strashko1-9/+40
On AM65xx MCU CPSW2G NUSS and 66AK2E/L NUSS allmulti setting does not allow unregistered mcast packets to pass. This happens, because ALE VLAN entries on these SoCs do not contain port masks for reg/unreg mcast packets, but instead store indexes of ALE_VLAN_MASK_MUXx_REG registers which intended for store port masks for reg/unreg mcast packets. This path was missed by commit 9d1f6447274f ("net: ethernet: ti: ale: fix seeing unreg mcast packets with promisc and allmulti disabled"). Hence, fix it by taking into account ALE type in cpsw_ale_set_allmulti().
