I successfully built and booted this on top of linux-next. For my builds
I include:
CONFIG_LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y
which catches various things. One of those (I assume either CONFIG_LOCKDEP
or CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES) has found an issue with kallsyms:
[ 34.112989] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Triggering it is easy, just "cat /proc/kallsyms" (and I'd note that I
don't even have any modules loaded). Tracking this down, it just looks
like kallsyms needs to hold a lock while sorting:
diff --git a/kernel/kallsyms.c b/kernel/kallsyms.c
index 558963b275ec..182b16a6079b 100644
--- a/kernel/kallsyms.c
+++ b/kernel/kallsyms.c
@@ -772,7 +772,9 @@ static int kallsyms_sorted_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
INIT_LIST_HEAD(list);
+ mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
ret = kallsyms_on_each_symbol(get_all_symbol_name, list);
+ mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);
if (ret != 0)
return ret;
This fixes it for me. Everything else seems to be lovely. :) Nice work!
