Update of analyze_suspend.py to v3.0
New features include back-2-back suspend testing, device filters to
reduce the html size, the inclusion of device_prepare and device_complete
callbacks, a usb topography list, and the ability to control USB
device autosuspend.
UI upgrades include a device detail window and mini-timeline, the addition
of a suspend_prepare and resume_complete phase to the timeline which includes
the associated device callbacks, automatic highlight of related callbacks,
and general color and name changes for better reability.
The new version relies on two trace point patches that are already in
the kernel:
enable_trace_events_suspend_resume.patch
enable_trace_events_device_pm_callback.patch
It has legacy support for older kernels without these trace events, but
when available the tool processes the ftrace output alone (dmesg has
been deprecated as a tool input, and is only gathered for convenience).

Since commit 5d2acfc7b974bbd3858b4dd3f2cdc6362dd8843a ("kconfig: make
allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT") in 3.15-rc1,
"make allnoconfig" disables every possible config option.
However, a few configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
OPTIMIZE_INLINING) produce a smaller kernel when turned on, and a few
choices exist (compression, highmem, allocator) for which a non-default
option produces a smaller kernel.
Add a "tinyconfig" option, which starts from allnoconfig and then sets
these options to configure the tiniest possible kernel. This provides a
better baseline for embedded systems or efforts to reduce kernel size.

The new mergeconfig helper makes it easier to add other partial
configurations similar to kvmconfig. Architecture-independent portions
of those partial configurations should go in
kernel/configs/${name}.config, and architecture-dependent portions
should go in arch/${arch}/configs/${name}.config.
Based on a patch by Luis R. Rodriguez <[email protected]>.
Originally-Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <[email protected]>
Modified to make the helper name more general than just virtualization,
support architecture-dependent and architecture-independent partial
configurations, move the helper and kvmconfig to
scripts/kconfig/Makefile, and factor out more of the common file path.

currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan
to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.
Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
should help with two things.
- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.
- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
bypass any policy one wants to.
This patch (of 15):
Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.
So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/

This patch adds support for ARCH=x86 into checkstack.
Commit ffee0de411fd ("x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding
CONFIG_64BIT") had merged ARCH=i386 and ARCH=x86_64 into one ARCH=x86.
checkstack.pl searches patterns of machine instructions which are
usually used for allocating stack frames. checkstalk.pl needs either
i386 or x86_64, x86 isn't enough:
$ make checkstack
objdump -d vmlinux $(find . -name '*.ko') | \
perl linux/scripts/checkstack.pl x86

Commit c353acba ("kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains
backslashes") attempted to handle backslashes in *.cmd files, but it
only handled double backslashes for some reason. Changing make-cmd to also
handle single backslashes fixes rebuilds with dash, but it breaks bash
again. The reason is that the two shells disagree about the
interpretation of backslash sequences in the echo builtin. The way out
of this is to print the command with printf '%s\n'. While at it,
document what the individual parts of make-cmd do and why.

c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says:
"type specifiers may occur in any order"
That means that:
short int is the same as int short
unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short
etc...
checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types.
For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by
checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int
signed short" variants are found.
Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants.
Add this misordered table to the findable types.
Warn when the misordered style is used.
This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it
depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for
"$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are
generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.
These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.
Emit a warning on these types of messages.
This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"
ie: this code matches:
foo = kmalloc();
if (foo == NULL) {
printk("Out of memory\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
This test is very crude and incomplete.
This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.
ie: this code does not match:
foo = kmalloc();
if (!foo) {
rtn = -ENOMEM;
printk("Out of memory!\n");
goto out;
}
This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.
spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for
that tool too.

This script detects cases where BUG() follows an if condition on an
expression and replaces the if condition and BUG() with a BUG_ON having
the conditional expression of the if statement as argument.

This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated
memory when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes
a pointer to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives
in cases the sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value.

This script detects cases where ARRAY_SIZE can be used such as
where there is a division of sizeof the array by the sizeof its first
element or by any indexed element or the element type. It replaces the
division of the two sizeofs by ARRAY_SIZE.
