get_maintainer: quiet noisy implicit -f vcs_file_exists checking

2016-08-27T00:39:34Z

Checking command line filenames that are outside the git tree can emit a noisy and confusing message. Quiet that message by redirecting stderr. Verify that the command was executed successfully. Fixes: 4cad35a7ca69 ("get_maintainer.pl: reduce need for command-line option -f") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1970a1d2fecb258e384e2e4fdaacdc9ccf3e30a4.1470955439.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Wolfram Sang Tested-by: Wolfram Sang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository

2016-08-10T17:42:00Z

If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line, the standard input is read for a patch. But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails. Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.

gcc-plugins: Add support for plugin subdirectories

2016-08-09T00:53:05Z

This adds support for building more complex gcc plugins that live in a subdirectory instead of just in a single source file. Reported-by: PaX Team Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy [kees: clarified commit message] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

gcc-plugins: Automate make rule generation

2016-08-09T00:52:20Z

There's no reason to repeat the same names in the Makefile when the .so files have already been listed. The .o list can be generated from them. Reported-by: PaX Team Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy [kees: clarified commit message] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

gcc-plugins: Add support for passing plugin arguments

2016-08-09T00:49:05Z

The latent_entropy plugin needs to pass arguments, so this adds the support. Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

gcc-plugins: abort builds cleanly when not supported

2016-08-09T00:49:05Z

When the compiler doesn't support gcc plugins (either due to missing headers or too old a version), report the problem and abort the build instead of emitting a warning and letting the build founder with arcane compiler errors. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

kbuild: no gcc-plugins during cc-option tests

2016-08-09T00:49:05Z

The gcc-plugins arguments should not be included when performing cc-option tests. Steps to reproduce: 1) make mrproper 2) make defconfig 3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY 4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well) 5) make && make modules Build errors: MODPOST 18 modules ERROR: "__fentry__" [net/netfilter/xt_nat.ko] undefined!

kcov: allow more fine-grained coverage instrumentation

2016-08-02T23:35:43Z

For more targeted fuzzing, it's better to disable kernel-wide instrumentation and instead enable it on a per-subsystem basis. This follows the pattern of UBSAN and allows you to compile in the kcov driver without instrumenting the whole kernel. To instrument a part of the kernel, you can use either # for a single file in the current directory KCOV_INSTRUMENT_filename.o := y or # for all the files in the current directory (excluding subdirectories) KCOV_INSTRUMENT := y or # (same as above) ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) or # for all the files in the current directory (including subdirectories) subdir-ccflags-y += $(CFLAGS_KCOV) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464008380-11405-1-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum Cc: Dmitry Vyukov Cc: Quentin Casasnovas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
