2020-10-16get_maintainer: exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallbackJoe Perches
MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree. Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback searches so the unlucky individuals that update the files the most are not shown by default.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP back-pressure. Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain. - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead of kernel version parsing or trial and error). - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in bridge. - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces. - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK packets of TCPv6. - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options. - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet deployments. - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC. - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and ISO 15765-2:2016. - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit kernel problem. - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs. - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by converting to a blocking notifier. - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs, opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP option use. - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify life of TCP CC implemented in BPF. - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing all the user space infra we have. - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing. - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path'. - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls. - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps. - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use is for pretty printing structures). - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf syscall. - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset during update; report expected max time operation may take to users; support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not). - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space. - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx, dpaa2-eth). - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms. Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface. - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver. - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to mscc_ocelot switches. - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in dpaa-eth. - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3) offload. - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS. - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as 7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP. - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver, and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx. - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a descriptor entry. - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy directory. - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free. - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this conversion is not yet complete). * tag 'net-next-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2583 commits) Revert "bpfilter: Fix build error with CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH" net, sockmap: Don't call bpf_prog_put() on NULL pointer bpf, selftest: Fix flaky tcp_hdr_options test when adding addr to lo bpf, sockmap: Add locking annotations to iterator netfilter: nftables: allow re-computing sctp CRC-32C in 'payload' statements net: fix pos incrementment in ipv6_route_seq_next net/smc: fix invalid return code in smcd_new_buf_create() net/smc: fix valid DMBE buffer sizes net/smc: fix use-after-free of delayed events bpfilter: Fix build error with CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH cxgb4/ch_ipsec: Replace the module name to ch_ipsec from chcr net: sched: Fix suspicious RCU usage while accessing tcf_tunnel_info bpf: Fix register equivalence tracking. rxrpc: Fix loss of final ack on shutdown rxrpc: Fix bundle counting for exclusive connections netfilter: restore NF_INET_NUMHOOKS ibmveth: Identify ingress large send packets. ibmveth: Switch order of ibmveth_helper calls. cxgb4: handle 4-tuple PEDIT to NAT mode translation selftests: Add VRF route leaking tests ...

2020-10-15coccinelle: iterators: Add for_each_child.cocci scriptSumera Priyadarsini
While iterating over child nodes with the for_each functions, if control is transferred from the middle of the loop, as in the case of a break or return or goto, there is no decrement in the reference counter thus ultimately resulting in a memory leak. Add this script to detect potential memory leaks caused by the absence of of_node_put() before break, goto, or, return statements which transfer control outside the loop.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: try to use c:function if possibleMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are a few namespace clashes by using c:macro everywhere: basically, when using it, we can't have something like: .. c:struct:: pwm_capture .. c:macro:: pwm_capture So, we need to use, instead: .. c:function:: int pwm_capture (struct pwm_device * pwm, struct pwm_capture * result, unsigned long timeout) for the function declaration. The kernel-doc change was proposed by Jakob Lykke Andersen here: https://github.com/jakobandersen/linux_docs/commit/6fd2076ec001cca7466857493cd678df4dfe4a65 Although I did a different implementation.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: fix line number handlingMauro Carvalho Chehab
Address several issues related to pointing to the wrong line number: 1) ensure that line numbers will always be initialized When section is the default (Description), the line number is not initializing, producing this: $ ./scripts/kernel-doc --enable-lineno ./drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-mem2mem.c|less **Description** #define LINENO 0 In case of streamoff or release called on any context, 1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called 2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from the job_queue Which is not right. Ensure that the line number will always be there. After applied, the result now points to the right location: **Description** #define LINENO 410 In case of streamoff or release called on any context, 1] If the context is currently running, then abort job will be called 2] If the context is queued, then the context will be removed from the job_queue 2) The line numbers for function prototypes are always + 1, because it is taken at the line after handling the prototype. Change the logic to point to the next line after the /** */ block; 3) The "DOC:" line number should point to the same line as this markup is found, and not to the next one. Probably part of the issues were due to a but that was causing the line number offset to be incremented by one, if --export were used. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: allow passing desired Sphinx C domain dialectMauro Carvalho Chehab
When kernel-doc is called via kerneldoc.py, there's no need to auto-detect the Sphinx version, as the Sphinx module already knows it. So, add an optional parameter to allow changing the Sphinx dialect. As kernel-doc can also be manually called, keep the auto-detection logic if the parameter was not specified. On such case, emit a warning if sphinx-build can't be found at PATH. I ended using a suggestion from Joe for using a more readable regex, instead of using a complex one with a hidden group like: m/^(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:\.?(\d+)?)/ in order to get the optional <patch> argument.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: don't mangle with parameter listMauro Carvalho Chehab
While kernel-doc needs to parse parameters in order to identify its name, it shouldn't be touching the type, as parsing it is very difficult, and errors happen. One current error is when parsing this parameter: const u32 (*tab)[256] Found at ./lib/crc32.c, on this function: u32 __pure crc32_be_generic (u32 crc, unsigned char const *p, size_t len, const u32 (*tab)[256], u32 polynomial); The current logic mangles it, producing this output: const u32 ( *tab That's something that it is not recognizeable. So, instead, let's push the argument as-is, and use it when printing the function prototype and when describing each argument. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef identificationMauro Carvalho Chehab

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: reimplement -nofunction argumentMauro Carvalho Chehab
Right now, the build system doesn't use -nofunction, as it is pretty much useless, because it doesn't consider the other output modes (extern, internal), working only with all. Also, it is limited to exclude functions. Re-implement it in order to allow excluding any symbols from the document output, no matter what mode is used. The parameter was also renamed to "-nosymbol", as it express better its meaning. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: fix troubles with line countsMauro Carvalho Chehab
There's currently a bug with the way kernel-doc script counts line numbers that can be seen with: $ ./scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno include/linux/math64.h >all && ./scripts/kernel-doc -rst -internal -enable-lineno include/linux/math64.h >int && diff -U0 int all --- int 2020-09-28 12:58:08.927486808 +0200 +++ all 2020-09-28 12:58:08.905486845 +0200 @@ -1 +1 @@ -#define LINENO 27 +#define LINENO 26 @@ -3 +3 @@ -#define LINENO 16 +#define LINENO 15 @@ -9 +9 @@ -#define LINENO 17 +#define LINENO 16 ... This is happening with perl version 5.30.3, but I'm not so sure if this is a perl bug, or if this is due to something else. In any case, fixing it is easy. Basically, when "-internal" parameter is used, the process_export_file() function opens the handle "IN". This makes the line number to be incremented, as the handler for the main open is also "IN". Fix the problem by using a different handler for the main open(). While here, add a missing close for it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: use a less pedantic markup for funcs on Sphinx 3.xMauro Carvalho Chehab
Unfortunately, Sphinx 3.x parser for c functions is too pedantic: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/8241 While it could be relaxed with some configurations, there are several corner cases that it would make it hard to maintain, and will require teaching conf.py about several macros. So, let's instead use the :c:macro notation. This will produce an output that it is not as nice as currently, but it should still be acceptable, and will provide cross-references, removing thousands of warnings when building with newer versions of Sphinx.

2020-10-15scripts: kernel-doc: make it more compatible with Sphinx 3.xMauro Carvalho Chehab
With Sphinx 3.x, the ".. c:type:" tag was changed to accept either: .. c:type:: typedef-like declaration .. c:type:: name Using it for other types (including functions) don't work anymore. So, there are newer tags for macro, enum, struct, union, and others, which doesn't exist on older versions. Add a check for the Sphinx version and change the produced tags accordingly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: "The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation, including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers. The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being discussed and should be ready for the next release. The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message can be extended. The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the descriptor ring with other metadata. The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata. This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers 2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. The next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal system operation. It will require special handling of situations when the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot, suspend, panic. Other changes: - Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem.

2020-10-12scripts: remove namespace.plJacob Keller
namespace.pl is intended to help locate symbols which are defined but are not used externally. The goal is to avoid bloat of the namespace in the resulting kernel image. The script relies on object data, and only finds unused symbols for the configuration used to generate that object data. This results in a lot of false positive warnings such as symbols only used by a single architecture, or symbols which are used externally only under certain configurations. Running namespace.pl using allyesconfig, allmodconfig, and x86_64_defconfig yields the following results: * allmodconfig * 11122 unique symbol names with no external reference * 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined * 214 symbols it can't resolve * allyesconfig * 10997 unique symbol names with no external reference * 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined * 214 symbols it can't resolve * x86_64_defconfig * 5757 unique symbol names with no external reference * 528 symbols listed as multiply defined * 154 symbols it can't resolve The script also has no way to easily limit the scope of the checks to a given subset of the kernel, such as only checking for symbols defined within a module or subsystem. Discussion on public mailing lists seems to indicate that many view the tool output as suspect or not very useful (see discussions at [1] and [2] for further context). As described by Masahiro Yamada at [2], namespace.pl provides 3 types of checks: listing multiply defined symbols, resolving external symbols, and warnings about symbols with no reference. The first category of issues is easily caught by the linker as any set of multiply defined symbols should fail to link. The second category of issues is also caught by linking, as undefined symbols would cause issues. Even with modules, these types of issues where a module relies on an external symbol are caught by modpost. The remaining category of issues reported is the list of symbols with no external reference, and is the primary motivation of this script. However, it ought to be clear from the above examples that the output is difficult to sort through. Even allyesconfig has ~10000 entries. The current submit-checklist indicates that patches ought to go through namespacecheck and fix any new issues arising. But that itself presents problems. As described at [1], many cases of reports are due to configuration where a function is used externally by some configuration settings. Prominent maintainers appear to dislike changes modify code such that symbols become static based on CONFIG_* flags ([3], and [4]) One possible solution is to adjust the advice and indicate that we only care about the output of namespacecheck on allyesconfig or allmodconfig builds... However, given the discussion at [2], I suspect that few people are actively using this tool. It doesn't have a maintainer in the MAINTAINERS flie, and it produces so many warnings for unused symbols that it is difficult to use effectively. Thus, I propose we simply remove it.

2020-09-28bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helperAlan Maguire
A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr, u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags); struct btf_ptr * specifies - a pointer to the data to be traced - the BTF id of the type of data pointed to - a flags field is provided for future use; these flags are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc; the main distinction is the flags relate to the type and information needed in identifying it; not how it is displayed. For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb could do the following: static struct btf_ptr b = { }; b.ptr = skb; b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1); bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0); Default output looks like this: (struct sk_buff){ .transport_header = (__u16)65535, .mac_header = (__u16)65535, .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192, .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .truesize = (unsigned int)768, .users = (refcount_t){ .refs = (atomic_t){ .counter = (int)1, }, }, } Flags modifying display are as follows: - BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information - BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types - BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values; equivalent to %px. - BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members; they are not displayed by default Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1601292670-1616-4-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com
2020-09-27scripts: coccicheck: Change default value for parallelismSumera Priyadarsini
By default, coccicheck utilizes all available threads to implement parallelisation. However, when all available threads are used, a decrease in performance is noted. The elapsed time is minimum when at most one thread per core is used. For example, on benchmarking the semantic patch kfree.cocci for usb/serial using hyperfine, the outputs obtained for J=5 and J=2 are 1.32 and 1.90 times faster than those for J=10 and J=9 respectively for two separate runs. For the larger drivers/staging directory, minimium elapsed time is obtained for J=3 which is 1.86 times faster than that for J=12. The optimal J value does not exceed 6 in any of the test runs. The benchmarks are run on a machine with 6 cores, with 2 threads per core, i.e, 12 hyperthreads in all. To improve performance, modify coccicheck to use at most only one thread per core by default.
