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.[1] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html

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.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

After processing by hex_dump_to_buffer() check all the parts to be expected.
Part 1. The actual expected hex dump with or without ASCII part.
Part 2. Check if the buffer is dirty beyond needed.
Part 3. Return code should be as expected.
This is done by using comparison of the return code and memcmp() against
the test buffer. We fill the buffer by FILL_CHAR ('#') characters, so, we
expect to have a tail of the buffer will be left untouched. The
terminating NUL is also checked by memcmp().Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko

It was noticed that we lose precision in the final calculation for some
inputs. The most egregious example is size=3000 blk_size=1900 in units
of 10 should yield 5.70 MB but in fact yields 3.00 MB (oops).This is because the current algorithm doesn't correctly account for
all the remainders in the logarithms. Fix this by doing a correct
calculation in the remainders based on napier's algorithm.Additionally, now we have the correct result, we have to account for
arithmetic rounding because we're printing 3 digits of precision. This
means that if the fourth digit is five or greater, we have to round up,
so add a section to ensure correct rounding. Finally account for all
possible inputs correctly, including zero for block size.Fixes: b9f28d863594c429e1df35a0474d2663ca28b307

special_hex_number() is a helper to print a fixed size type in a hex
format with '0x' prefix, zero padding, and small letters. In the module
we have already several copies of such code. Consolidate them under
special_hex_number() helper.There are couple of differences though.
It seems nobody cared about the output in case of CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n,
when printing symbol address, because the asked field width is not
enough to care last 2 characters in the string represantation of the
pointer. Fixed here.The %pNF specifier used to be allowed with a specific field width,

kasprintf relies on being able to replay the formatting and getting the
same result (in particular, the same length). This will almost always
work, but it is possible that the object pointed to by a %s or %p
argument changed under us (so we might get truncated output). Add a
somewhat paranoid sanity check and let's see if it ever triggers.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

The field width is overloaded to pass some extra information for some %p
extensions (e.g. #bits for %pb). But we might silently truncate the
passed value when we stash it in struct printf_spec (see e.g.
"lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits"). Hopefully 23 value
bits should now be enough for everybody, but if not, let's make some
noise.Do the same for the precision. In both cases, clamping seems more
sensible than truncating. While, according to POSIX, "A negative
precision is taken as if the precision were omitted.", the kernel's
printf has always treated that case as if the precision was 0, so we use
that as lower bound. For the field width, the smallest representable
value is actually -(1<

One consequence of the reorganization of struct printf_spec to make
field_width 24 bits was that number() gained about 180 bytes. Since
spec is never passed to other functions, we can help gcc make number()
lose most of that extra weight by using local variables for the field
width and precision.Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko

Maurizio Lombardi reported a problem [1] with the %pb extension: It
doesn't work for sufficiently large bitmaps, since the size is stashed
in the field_width field of the struct printf_spec, which is currently
an s16. Concretely, this manifested itself in
/sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map being empty, since the bitmap
printer got a size of 0, which is the 16 bit truncation of the actual
bitmap size.We do want to keep struct printf_spec at 8 bytes so that it can cheaply
be passed by value. The qualifier field is only used for internal
bookkeeping in format_decode, so we might as well use a local variable
for that. This gives us an additional 8 bits, which we can then use for
the field width.To stay in 8 bytes, we need to do a little rearranging and make the type
member a bitfield as well. For consistency, change all the members to
bit fields. gcc doesn't generate much worse code with these changes (in
fact, bloat-o-meter says we save 300 bytes - which I think is a little
surprising).I didn't find a BUILD_BUG/compiletime_assertion/... which would work
outside function context, so for now I just open-coded it.[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2034835

If the string corresponding to a %s specifier can change under us, we
might end up copying a \0 byte to the output buffer. There might be
callers who expect the output buffer to contain a genuine C string whose
length is exactly the snprintf return value (assuming truncation hasn't
happened or has been checked for).We can avoid this by only passing over the source string once, stopping
the first time we meet a nul byte (or when we reach the given
precision), and then letting widen_string() handle left/right space
padding. As a small bonus, this code reuse also makes the generated
code slightly smaller.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically
mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page
objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or
is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the
range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up
subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range.devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified
at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into
pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device
pages".ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an
lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for
other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always
trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head
storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption
that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never
attempted.Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function
definitions for page flags. This argument defines how page-flags
helpers behave on compound functions.For now we define four policies:
- PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless
if it's non-compound, head or tail.- PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the
compound page if it gets tail page.- PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this
helper function.- PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this
helper function.For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current
behaviour.We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags
checked for random pages all over the kernel. Noticeable exception to
this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page.Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

In include/asm-generic/sections.h:
/*
* Usage guidelines:
* _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in
* arch-independent code
* [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain
* .rodata.*
* and/or .init.* sections_text is not guaranteed across architectures. Architectures such as ARM
may reuse parts which are not actually text and erroneously trigger a bug.
Switch to using _stext which is guaranteed to contain text sections.Came out of https://lkml.kernel.org/g/

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits)
