random: do not ignore early device randomness

2017-07-12T23:26:00+00:00

The add_device_randomness() function would ignore incoming bytes if the
crng wasn't ready.  This additionally makes sure to make an early enough
call to add_latent_entropy() to influence the initial stack canary,
which is especially important on non-x86 systems where it stays the same
through the life of the boot.

sched/core: Enable might_sleep() and smp_processor_id() checks early

2017-05-23T08:01:38+00:00

might_sleep() and smp_processor_id() checks are enabled after the boot
process is done. That hides bugs in the SMP bringup and driver
initialization code.

Enable it right when the scheduler starts working, i.e. when init task and
kthreadd have been created and right before the idle task enables
preemption.

init: Pin init task to the boot CPU, initially

2017-05-23T08:01:34+00:00

Some of the boot code in init_kernel_freeable() which runs before SMP
bringup assumes (rightfully) that it runs on the boot CPU and therefore can
use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context.

That works so far because the smp_processor_id() check starts to be
effective after smp bringup. That's just wrong. Starting with SMP bringup
and the ability to move threads around, smp_processor_id() in preemptible
context is broken.

Aside of that it does not make sense to allow init to run on all CPUs
before sched_smp_init() has been run.

Pin the init to the boot CPU so the existing code can continue to use
smp_processor_id() without triggering the checks when the enabling of those
checks starts earlier.

2017-05-04T01:41:21+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New features for this release:

   - Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
     i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter

   - The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing
     instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo
     do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
     hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.

   - New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
     set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
     with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.

   - Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events

   - Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function
     tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing
     will come in the next release.

   - Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance"

console: move console_init() out of tty_io.c

ftrace: Have init/main.c call ftrace directly to free init memory

2017-04-03T18:04:00+00:00

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.

Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.
