x86/dumpstack: Unify show_regs()

2018-03-08T11:04:59+00:00

The 32-bit version uses KERN_EMERG and commit

  b0f4c4b32c8e ("bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumps")

changed the 64-bit version to KERN_DEFAULT. The same justification in
that commit that those messages do not belong in the terminal, holds
true for 32-bit also, so make it so.

Make code_bytes static, while at it.

x86/entry: Rename SYSENTER_stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA_entry_stack

2017-12-22T19:13:02+00:00

If the kernel oopses while on the trampoline stack, it will print
"" even if SYSENTER is not involved.  That is rather confusing.

The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now.  Give it a
better string to display in stack dumps, and rename the kernel code to
match.

Also move the 32-bit code over to the new naming even though it still uses
the entry stack only for SYSENTER.

x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() support for the SYSENTER stack

2017-12-17T12:59:54+00:00

get_stack_info() doesn't currently know about the SYSENTER stack, so
unwinding will fail if we entered the kernel on the SYSENTER stack
and haven't fully switched off.  Teach get_stack_info() about the
SYSENTER stack.

With future patches applied that run part of the entry code on the
SYSENTER stack and introduce an intentional BUG(), I would get:

  PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  ...
  RIP: 0010:do_error_trap+0x33/0x1c0
  ...
  Call Trace:
  Code: ...

With this patch, I get:

  PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  ...
  Call Trace:
   
   ? async_page_fault+0x36/0x60
   ? invalid_op+0x22/0x40

which is a lot more informative.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

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 <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

x86/dumpstack: Fix interrupt and exception stack boundary checks

2017-07-18T08:56:23+00:00

On x86_64, the double fault exception stack is located immediately after
the interrupt stack in memory.  This causes confusion in the unwinder
when it tries to unwind through an empty interrupt stack, where the
stack pointer points to the address bordering the two stacks.  The
unwinder incorrectly thinks it's running on the double fault stack.

Fix this kind of stack border confusion by never considering the
beginning address of an exception or interrupt stack to be part of the
stack.

x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0

2017-03-27T08:20:28+00:00

By using "UD0" for WARN()s we remove the function call and its possible
__FILE__ and __LINE__ immediate arguments from the instruction stream.

Total image size will not change much, what we win in the instruction
stream we'll lose because of the __bug_table entries. Still, saves on
I$ footprint and the total image size does go down a bit.

x86/dumpstack: Make stack name tags more comprehensible

2016-11-21T12:00:42+00:00

NMI stack dumps are bracketed by the following tags:

  
  ...
  

The ending tag is kind of confusing if you don't already know what "EOE"
means (end of exception).  The same ending tag is also used to mark the
end of all other exceptions' stacks.  For example:

  <#DF>
  ...
  

And similarly, "EOI" is used as the ending tag for interrupts:

  
  ...
  

Change the tags to be more comprehensible by making them symmetrical and
more XML-esque:

  
  ...
  

  <#DF>
  ...

x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump

2016-10-25T16:40:37+00:00

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.
