commit c104c16073b7fdb3e4eae18f66f4009f6b073d6f upstream.

The longest length of a symbol (KSYM_NAME_LEN) was increased to 512
in the reference [1]. This patch adds kunit test suite to check the longest
symbol length. These tests verify that the longest symbol length defined
is supported.

This test can also help other efforts for longer symbol length,
like [2].

The test suite defines one symbol with the longest possible length.

The first test verify that functions with names of the created
symbol, can be called or not.

The second test, verify that the symbols are created (or
not) in the kernel symbol table.

Add some kunit tests for page extraction for ITER_BVEC, ITER_KVEC and
ITER_XARRAY type iterators.  ITER_UBUF and ITER_IOVEC aren't dealt with
as they require userspace VM interaction.  ITER_DISCARD isn't dealt with
either as that does nothing.

<id>aebc7b0d8d91bbc69e976909963046bc48bca4fd</id>
<content type='text'>
Numerous production kernel configs (see [1, 2]) are choosing to enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, which is also being recommended by KSPP for hardened
configs [3]. The motivation behind this is that the option can be used
as a security hardening feature (e.g. CVE-2019-2215 and CVE-2019-2025
are mitigated by the option [4]).

The feature has never been designed with performance in mind, yet common
list manipulation is happening across hot paths all over the kernel.

Introduce CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED, which performs list pointer checking
inline, and only upon list corruption calls the reporting slow path.

To generate optimal machine code with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED:

  1. Elide checking for pointer values which upon dereference would
     result in an immediate access fault (i.e. minimal hardening
     checks).  The trade-off is lower-quality error reports.

  2. Use the __preserve_most function attribute (available with Clang,
     but not yet with GCC) to minimize the code footprint for calling
     the reporting slow path. As a result, function size of callers is
     reduced by avoiding saving registers before calling the rarely
     called reporting slow path.

     Note that all TUs in lib/Makefile already disable function tracing,
     including list_debug.c, and __preserve_most's implied notrace has
     no effect in this case.

  3. Because the inline checks are a subset of the full set of checks in
     __list_*_valid_or_report(), always return false if the inline
     checks failed.  This avoids redundant compare and conditional
     branch right after return from the slow path.

As a side-effect of the checks being inline, if the compiler can prove
some condition to always be true, it can completely elide some checks.

Since DEBUG_LIST is functionally a superset of LIST_HARDENED, the
Kconfig variables are changed to reflect that: DEBUG_LIST selects
LIST_HARDENED, whereas LIST_HARDENED itself has no dependency on
DEBUG_LIST.

Running netperf with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED (using a Clang compiler with
"preserve_most") shows throughput improvements, in my case of ~7% on
average (up to 20-30% on some test cases).

Originally it was attributed to s390, which now looks seemingly wrong. The
issue is not related to bitmap code itself, but it breaks build for a given
configuration.

Disabling the const_eval test under that config may potentially hide other
bugs. Instead, workaround it by disabling GCOV for the test_bitmap unless
the compiler will get fixed.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

 - Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

 - Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
   get_user_pages() interface

 - Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
   maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree

 - Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for
   get_user_pages()

 - Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization
   work for the vmalloc code

 - Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,

 - SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code

 - Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
   device refcounting

 - Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code

 - Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
   rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
   provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
   and directio access to file mappings

 - John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

 - ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign

 - Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
   with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock

 - Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment
   from 128 to 8

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by
   reorganizing the LRU management

 - Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the
   buffer_head code

 - Vishal Moola also has done some folio conversion work

 - Matthew Wilcox has removed the remnants of the pagevec code - their
   functionality is migrated over to struct folio_batch

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "There are three areas of note:

  A bunch of strlcpy()-&gt;strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
  since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
  ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

  The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
  globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
  changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
  is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
  coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
  potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
  been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
  details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.

  The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
  so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
  associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
  elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
  of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
  are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
  macro while we continue to add annotations.

  As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
  such annotations found via Coccinelle:

    https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

  Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

  Summary:

   - Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)

   - Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)

   - Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)

   - Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
     either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
     went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)

   - Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)

   - Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family

   - Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML

   - Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()

   - Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.

   - Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally

   - Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC

   - Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
     arrays

   - Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY

   - Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers

   - Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

Let's move show_mem.c from lib to mm, as it belongs memory subsystem, also
split some memory statistic related functions from page_alloc.c to
show_mem.c, and we cleanup some unneeded include.

There is no functional change.
