* bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h>Ian Abbott2017-07-101-73/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Including <linux/bug.h> pulls in a lot of bloat from <asm/bug.h> and <asm-generic/bug.h> that is not needed to call the BUILD_BUG() family of macros. Split them out into their own header, <linux/build_bug.h>. Also correct some checkpatch.pl errors for the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() and BUILD_BUG_ON_NULL() macros by adding parentheses around the bitfield widths that begin with a minus sign.

* debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()Peter Zijlstra2017-03-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra variable. Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have printk() statements prior to triggering the trap.

* bug: switch data corruption check to __must_checkKees Cook2017-02-241-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers. Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be able to be used directly on macro expressions).

* bug: Provide toggle for BUG on data corruptionKees Cook2016-10-311-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel checks for cases of data structure corruption under some CONFIGs (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST). When corruption is detected, some systems may want to BUG() immediately instead of letting the system run with known corruption. Usually these kinds of manipulation primitives can be used by security flaws to gain arbitrary memory write control. This provides a new config CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION and a corresponding macro CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION for handling these situations. Notably, even if not BUGing, the kernel should not continue processing the corrupted structure. This is inspired by similar hardening by Syed Rameez Mustafa in MSM kernels, and in PaX and Grsecurity, which is likely in response to earlier removal of the BUG calls in commit 924d9addb9b1 ("list debugging: use WARN() instead of BUG()").

* add basic register-field manipulation macrosJakub Kicinski2016-09-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Common approach to accessing register fields is to define structures or sets of macros containing mask and shift pair. Operations on the register are then performed as follows: field = (reg >> shift) & mask; reg &= ~(mask << shift); reg |= (field & mask) << shift; Defining shift and mask separately is tedious. Ivo van Doorn came up with an idea of computing them at compilation time based on a single shifted mask (later refined by Felix) which can be used like this: #define REG_FIELD 0x000ff000 field = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD, reg); reg &= ~REG_FIELD; reg |= FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD, field); FIELD_{GET,PREP} macros take care of finding out what the appropriate shift is based on compilation time ffs operation. GENMASK can be used to define registers (which is usually less error-prone and easier to match with datasheets). This approach is the most convenient I've seen so to limit code multiplication let's move the macros to a global header file. Attempts to use static inlines instead of macros failed due to false positive triggering of BUILD_BUG_ON()s, especially with GCC < 6.0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With next generation power processor, we are having a new mmu model [1] that require us to maintain a different linux page table format. Inorder to support both current and future ppc64 systems with a single kernel we need to make sure kernel can select between different page table format at runtime. With the new MMU (radix MMU) added, we will have two different pmd hugepage size 16MB for hash model and 2MB for Radix model. Hence make HPAGE_PMD related values as a variable. Actual conversion of HPAGE_PMD to a variable for ppc64 happens in a followup patch. [1] http://ibm.biz/power-isa3 (Needs registration). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* bug.h, compiler.h: introduce compiletime_assert & BUILD_BUG_ON_MSGDaniel Santos2013-02-211-15/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce compiletime_assert to compiler.h, which moves the details of how to break a build and emit an error message for a specific compiler to the headers where these details should be. Following in the tradition of the POSIX assert macro, compiletime_assert creates a build-time error when the supplied condition is *false*. Next, we add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to bug.h which simply wraps compiletime_assert, inverting the logic, so that it fails when the condition is *true*, consistent with the language "build bug on." This macro allows you to specify the error message you want emitted when the supplied condition is true. Finally, we remove all other code from bug.h that mucks with these details (BUILD_BUG & BUILD_BUG_ON), and have them all call BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG. This not only reduces source code bloat, but also prevents the possibility of code being changed for one macro and not for the other (which was previously the case for BUILD_BUG and BUILD_BUG_ON). Since __compiletime_error_fallback is now only used in compiler.h, I'm considering it a private macro and removing the double negation that's now extraneous.

* compiler.h, bug.h: prevent double error messages with BUILD_BUG{,_ON}Daniel Santos2013-02-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to the introduction of __attribute__((error("msg"))) in gcc 4.3, creating compile-time errors required a little trickery. BUILD_BUG{,_ON} uses this attribute when available to generate compile-time errors, but also uses the negative-sized array trick for older compilers, resulting in two error messages in some cases. The reason it's "some" cases is that as of gcc 4.4, the negative-sized array will not create an error in some situations, like inline functions. This patch replaces the negative-sized array code with the new __compiletime_error_fallback() macro which expands to the same thing unless the the error attribute is available, in which case it expands to do{}while(0), resulting in exactly one compile-time error on all versions of gcc. Note that we are not changing the negative-sized array code for the unoptimized version of BUILD_BUG_ON, since it has the potential to catch problems that would be disabled in later versions of gcc were __compiletime_error_fallback used. The reason is that that an unoptimized build can't always remove calls to an error-attributed function call (like we are using) that should effectively become dead code if it were optimized. However, using a negative-sized array with a similar value will not result in an false-positive (error). The only caveat being that it will also fail to catch valid conditions, which we should be expecting in an unoptimized build anyway.

* bug.h: make BUILD_BUG_ON generate compile-time errorDaniel Santos2013-02-211-13/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Negative sized arrays wont create a compile-time error in some cases starting with gcc 4.4 (e.g., inlined functions), but gcc 4.3 introduced the error function attribute that will. This patch modifies BUILD_BUG_ON to behave like BUILD_BUG already does, using the error function attribute so that you don't have to build the entire kernel to discover that you have a problem, and then enjoy trying to track it down from a link-time error. Also, we are only including asm/bug.h and then expecting that linux/compiler.h will eventually be included to define __linktime_error (used in BUILD_BUG_ON). This patch includes it directly for clarity and to avoid the possibility of changes in <arch>/*/include/asm/bug.h being changed or not including linux/compiler.h for some reason.

* generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()Heiko Carstens2007-07-161-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [PATCH] Generic BUG implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-12-081-0/+47
This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.
