  • When booting Linux on an Amiga with BigRAMPlus Zorro expansion board:

    zorro: Address space collision on device Zorro device 12128600 (Individual Computers) [??? 0x50000000-]

    This happens because the address space occupied by the BigRAMPlus Zorro
    device is already in use, as it is part of system RAM. Hence the
    message is harmless.

    Zorro memory expansion boards have the ERTF_MEMLIST flag set, which
    tells AmigaOS to link the board's RAM into the free memory list. While
    we could skip registering the board resource if this flag is set, that
    may cause issues with Zorro II RAM excluded in a memfile.

    Hence fix the issue by just ignoring the error if ERTF_MEMLIST is set.

  • Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
    '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
    decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

    This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
    I also fixed the indentation.

    There are a variety of indentation styles found.

    a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
    b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
    c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
    d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
    e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
    f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
    g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

    In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
    following commend:

    $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

  • The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
    extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
    variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
    introduced in C99:

    struct foo {
    int stuff;
    struct boo array[];
    };

    By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
    in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
    will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
    inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

    Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
    this change:

    "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
    may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
    zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

    This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

  • In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
    programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

    It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
    selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

    This commit renames like follows:

    always -> always-y
    hostprogs-y -> hostprogs

    So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

    always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
    always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
    ...
    hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

    I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
    program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
    which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

    The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
    compatibility for a while.

  • Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
    "This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
    2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
    helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
    Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
    everything works.

    I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
    "simple" multiplied arguments:

    *alloc(a * b, ...) -> *alloc_array(a, b, ...)

    and

    *zalloc(a * b, ...) -> *calloc(a, b, ...)

    as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
    portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
    closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.

  • One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
    the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
    with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

    struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
    };

    instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

    Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
    now use the new struct_size() helper:

    instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

    This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
    uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
    "CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
    script:

    // pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len *
    // sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL);

  • The generic DMA API uses dev->dma_mask to check the DMA addressable
    memory bitmask, and warns if no mask is set or even allocated.

    Set z->dev.dma_coherent_mask on Zorro bus scan, and make z->dev.dma_mask
    to point to z->dev.dma_coherent_mask so device drivers that need DMA have
    everything set up to avoid warnings from dma_alloc_coherent(). Drivers can
    still use dma_set_mask_and_coherent() to explicitly set their DMA bit mask.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • As the Amiga Zorro II address space is limited to 8.5 MiB and Zorro
    devices can contain only one BAR, several Amiga Zorro II expansion
    boards (mainly graphics cards) contain multiple Zorro devices: a small
    one for the control registers and one (or more) for the graphics memory.

    The conversion of cirrusfb to the new driver framework introduced a
    regression: the driver contains a zorro_driver for the first Zorro
    device, and uses the (old) zorro_find_device() call to find the second
    Zorro device.

    However, as the Zorro core calls device_register() as soon as a Zorro
    device is identified, it may not have identified the second Zorro device
    belonging to the same physical Zorro expansion card. Hence cirrusfb
    could no longer find the second part of the Picasso II graphics card,
    causing a NULL pointer dereference.

    Defer the registration of Zorro devices with the driver framework until
    all Zorro devices have been identified to fix this.

    Note that the alternative solution (modifying cirrusfb to register a
    zorro_driver for all Zorro devices belonging to a graphics card, instead
    of only for the first one, and adding a synchronization mechanism to
    defer initialization until all have been found), is not an option, as on
    some cards one device may be optional (e.g. the second bank of 2 MiB of
    graphics memory on the Picasso IV in Zorro II mode).
