In order to have the MAINTAINERS file visible in the rendered ReST
output, this makes some small changes to the existing MAINTAINERS file
to allow for better machine processing, and adds a new Sphinx directive
"maintainers-include" to perform the rendering.
Features include:
- Per-subsystem reference links: subsystem maintainer entries can be
trivially linked to both internally and external. For example:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html#secure-computing
- Internally referenced .rst files are linked so they can be followed
when browsing the resulting rendering. This allows, for example, the
future addition of maintainer profiles to be automatically linked.
- Field name expansion: instead of the short fields (e.g. "M", "F",
"K"), use the indicated inline "full names" for the fields (which are
marked with "*"s in MAINTAINERS) so that a rendered subsystem entry
is more human readable. Email lists are additionally comma-separated.
For example:

Right now any ":Field Name: Field Contents" lines end up with significant
padding due to CSS from the "table" CSS which rightly needs padding to
make tables readable. However, field lists don't need this as they tend
to be stacked together. The future heavy use of fields in the parsed
MAINTAINERS file needs this cleaned up, and existing users look better
too. Note the needless white space (and misalignment of name/contents)
between "Date" and "Author":
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html
This patch fixes this by lowering the padding with a more specific CSS.

André Almeida writes:
The current way that scripts/kernel-doc dump structs do not work for
nested structs with attributes (e.g. __packed) and without type alias
(e.g } alias1;). This is due to the way nested structs members are parsed.
Inside dump_struct(), the regex removes attributes and it surrounds
whitespaces. After that, it will do a foreach(id) loop for each alias.
However, we will have an empty string, and then the split function will
return nothing and the foreach will not have any iteration. The code will
then jump the loop and the substitution will fail since $newmember
is uninitialized.
This bug does not happen when the nested struct has no alias and no
attribute, since at process_proto_type() a whitespace is inserted in
order to ensure that the split will not fail. However, with any
attribute, this whitespace will be removed.
This patch solves this by replacing attributes with one whitespace, to
ensure that will have at least one whitespace.
Besides solving this bug at patch 1, I also add support for the
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp atribute at patch 2.
For testing and reproducing, create a file `code.h`:
/**
* struct foobar - description
* @number0: desc0
* @number1: desc1
* @number2: desc2
*/
struct foo {
int number0;
struct {
int number1;
} __packed;
struct {
int number2;
};
};
I've tested with CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR, __attribute__((__aligned__(8)))
and __aligned() as well. Now, run the `./script/kernel-doc code.h`,
and this is the output:
Use of uninitialized value $newmember in substitution (s///) at
./scripts/kernel-doc line 1152, <IN> line 18.
.. c:type:: struct foo
description
**Definition**
::
struct foo {
int number0;
struct {
int number1;
};
struct {
int number2;
};
};
**Members**
``number0``
desc0
``{unnamed_struct}``
anonymous
``number2``
desc2
The output will not display the member number1 and will also display an
uninitialized warning. Running after the patch will get rid of the
warning and also display the description for number1:
[...]
**Members**
``number0``
desc0
``{unnamed_struct}``
anonymous
``number1``
desc1
``{unnamed_struct}``
anonymous
``number2``
desc2
To test patch [2/2], just replace __packed for
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp and compare how, at the previous stage the
script believes ____cacheline... is an alias for the struct and after
the patch it is removed just as the others attributes.
Finally, I have compared the output of "make htmldocs" with and without
this patch. No new warning were found and one warning regarding
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp at include/linux/netdevice.h was removed.

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned_in_smp` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.

The current regular expression for strip attributes of structs (and
for nested ones as well) also removes all whitespaces that may
surround the attribute. After that, the code will split structs and
iterate for each symbol separated by comma at the end of struct
definition (e.g. "} alias1, alias2;"). However, if the nested struct
does not have any alias and has an attribute, it will result in a
empty string at the closing bracket (e.g "};"). This will make the
split return nothing and $newmember will keep uninitialized. Fix
that, by ensuring that the attribute substitution will leave at least
one whitespace.

While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this
effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which
may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available
parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any
special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things
work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level:
make -j16 htmldocs
If -j is not specified, continue to fallback to "-jauto" if available.

Merge active entropy generation updates.
This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.
While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.
The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.
We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.
As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.
* getrandom() active entropy waiting:
Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug""
random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it
|
|
This reverts commit 72dbcf72156641fde4d8ea401e977341bfd35a05.
Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
reverted.
So revert the revert.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
numbers when it really didn't need to.
See commit 72dbcf721566 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").
This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
most other modern CPU's too.
What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
timer.
I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not
because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.
Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.
As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further
by actually having a fairly complex interaction.
This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And
by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
the possibly unbounded waiting).

Fixes for omap variants
Few fixes for ti-sysc interconnect target module driver for no-idle
quirks that caused nfsroot to fail on some dra7 boards.
And let's fixes to get LCD working again for logicpd board that got
broken a while back with removal of panel-dpi driver. We need to now
use generic CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE instead.

Pull iommu fixes from Joerg Roedel:
"A couple of fixes for the AMD IOMMU driver have piled up:
- Some fixes for the reworked IO page-table which caused memory leaks
or did not allow to downgrade mappings under some conditions.
- Locking fixes to fix a couple of possible races around accessing
'struct protection_domain'. The races got introduced when the
dma-ops path became lock-less in the fast-path"

The role of the contact list provided by the disclosing party and how it
affects the disclosure process and the ability to include experts into
the development process is not really well explained.
Neither is it entirely clear when the disclosing party will be informed
about the fact that a developer who is not covered by an employer NDA needs
to be brought in and disclosed.
Explain the role of the contact list and the information policy along with
an eventual conflict resolution better.
