2017-02-24linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative divisorsNiklas Söderlund
While working on a thermal driver I encounter a scenario where the divisor could be negative, instead of adding local code to handle this I though I first try to add support for this in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST. Add support to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST for negative divisors if both dividend and divisor variable types are signed. This should not alter current behavior for users of the macro as previously negative divisors where not supported. Before: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, 4) = 15 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, -4) = -14 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, 4) = -15 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) = 14 After: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, 4) = 15 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, -4) = -15 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, 4) = -15 DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) = 15 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment, per Guenter] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161222102217.29011-1-niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.se Signed-off-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.se> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-11-26taint/module: Clean up global and module taint flags handlingPetr Mladek
The commit 66cc69e34e86a231 ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules(). We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag for livepatching, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Also struct module uses an incompatible type for mod-taints flags. It survived from the commit 2bc2d61a9638dab670d ("[PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panic"). There was used "int" for the global taint flags at these times. But only the global tain flags was later changed to "unsigned long" by the commit 25ddbb18aae33ad2 ("Make the taint flags reliable"). This patch defines TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT that can be used to create arrays and buffers of the right size. Note that we could not use enum because the taint flag indexes are used also in assembly code. Then it reworks the table that describes the taint flags. The TAINT_* numbers can be used as the index. Instead, we add information if the taint flag is also shown per-module. Finally, it uses "unsigned long", bit operations, and the updated taint_flags table also for mod->taints. It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.

2016-10-19percpu: ensure the requested alignment is power of twozijun_hu
The percpu allocator expectedly assumes that the requested alignment is power of two but hasn't been veryfing the input. If the specified alignment isn't power of two, the allocator can malfunction. Add the sanity check. The following is detailed analysis of the effects of alignments which aren't power of two. The alignment must be a even at least since the LSB of a chunk->map element is used as free/in-use flag of a area; besides, the alignment must be a power of 2 too since ALIGN() doesn't work well for other alignment always but is adopted by pcpu_fit_in_area(). IOW, the current allocator only works well for a power of 2 aligned area allocation. See below opposite example for why an odd alignment doesn't work. Let's assume area [16, 36) is free but its previous one is in-use, we want to allocate a @size == 8 and @align == 7 area. The larger area [16, 36) is split to three areas [16, 21), [21, 29), [29, 36) eventually. However, due to the usage for a chunk->map element, the actual offset of the aim area [21, 29) is 21 but is recorded in relevant element as 20; moreover, the residual tail free area [29, 36) is mistook as in-use and is lost silently Unlike macro roundup(), ALIGN(x, a) doesn't work if @a isn't a power of 2 for example, roundup(10, 6) == 12 but ALIGN(10, 6) == 10, and the latter result isn't desired obviously. tj: Code style and patch description updates.

2016-10-07min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nestedJohannes Berg
Currently, when min/max are nested within themselves, sparse will warn: warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one originally declared here warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one originally declared here warning: symbol '_min2' shadows an earlier one originally declared here This also immediately happens when min3() or max3() are used. Since sparse implements __COUNTER__, we can use __UNIQUE_ID() to generate unique variable names, avoiding this.

2016-09-22sched/core: Optimize __schedule()Peter Zijlstra
Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().

2016-06-15rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU StallDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq. We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in some scenarios, like when supporting customers. This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall. The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default. Changes from v1: - Fixed a typo in the git log - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Paul E.

2016-05-19include/linux: apply __malloc attributeRasmus Villemoes
Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions. This helps gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing). A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset: plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL); if (plane->state) { plane->state->plane = plane; plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0); } which compiles to e8 99 bf d6 ff callq ffffffff8116d540 <kmem_cache_alloc_trace> 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax 48 89 83 40 02 00 00 mov %rax,0x240(%rbx) 74 11 je ffffffff814015c4 <drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset+0x64> 48 89 18 mov %rbx,(%rax) 48 8b 83 40 02 00 00 mov 0x240(%rbx),%rax [*] c7 40 40 01 00 00 00 movl $0x1,0x40(%rax) With this patch applied, the instruction at [*] is elided, since the store to plane->state->plane is known to not alter the value of plane->state.

2016-03-22panic: change nmi_panic from macro to functionHidehiro Kawai
Commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI") and commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the crash dump on x86. However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic(). This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those cases. Even this patchset is applied, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g. MCE handler) continue to use panic(). This is because I can't test them well and actual problems won't happen. For example, the possibility that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously is very low. This patch (of 3): Convert nmi_panic() to a proper function and export it instead of exporting internal implementation details to modules, for obvious reasons.

2016-03-22tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk() is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has happened). If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the tracing buffer. Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is not needed.

2016-01-16include/linux/kernel.h: change abs() macro so it uses consistent return typeMichal Nazarewicz
Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it. The only conversion is from unsigned to signed type. char is left as a return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual signedness. With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type (which may or may not be the same). This came after some back and forth with Nicolas. The current macro has different return type (for the same input type) depending on architecture which might be midly iritating. An alternative version would promote to int like so: #define abs(x) __abs_choose_expr(x, long long, \ __abs_choose_expr(x, long, \ __builtin_choose_expr( \ sizeof(x) <= sizeof(int), \ ({ int __x = (x); __x<0?-__x:__x; }), \ ((void)0)))) I have no preference but imagine Linus might. :] Nicolas argument against is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour: int main(void) { unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b; unsigned short d = abs(a - b); unsigned short e = abs(c); printf("%u %u\n", d, e); // prints: 1 65535 } Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer arithmetic. ;) Note: __builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and __builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

2015-12-19panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI contextHidehiro Kawai
Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(), sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them, save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping. However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to save its register information into the crash dump. For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all CPUs as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 =========================== ========================== receive an unknown NMI unknown_nmi_error() panic() receive an unknown NMI spin_trylock(&panic_lock) unknown_nmi_error() crash_kexec() panic() spin_trylock(&panic_lock) panic_smp_self_stop() infinite loop kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET infinite loop... Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET, so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is never called. In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all CPUs when the NMI button is pushed. To save registers in this case, we need to: a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely or b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted data from being propagated to devices. So, we chose b). This patch does the following: 1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is still used for normal context. 2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Gobinda Charan Maji <gobinda.cemk07@gmail.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2015-12-19panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMIHidehiro Kawai
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire panic_lock. To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've already entered panic(). For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU already panicked.

2015-11-09kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit typesMichal Nazarewicz
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to lost precision and may cause incorrect results. To deal with 64-bit types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where abs macro is used incorrectly. To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64 type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when dealing with smaller types. This fixes one known bug (per John): The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a : logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock : steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock : frequency over a series of ticks. : : Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit : dc491596f639438 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz), : used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of : the approximated adjustment to be made. : : Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types : (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()". : : Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a : quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency, : which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most : easily observed when large adjustments are made).

2015-11-06lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_constRasmus Villemoes
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible: If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const. Otherwise, we fall back to kvasprintf. Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by reusing .rodata when possible. The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for kstrdup_const. There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases, the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

2015-07-17include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypesNicolas Iooss
Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f18 ("wl18xx: show rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca81435 ("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string"). To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format flag.

Commit f06e5153f4ae2e ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after. The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through panic() in oops path. To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash(). Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things on this patch.

The tracing_off_permanent() call is a way to disable all ring_buffers. Nothing uses it and nothing should use it, as tracing_off() and friends are better, as they disable the ring buffers related to tracing. The tracing_off_permanent() even disabled non tracing ring buffers. This is a bit drastic, and was added to handle NMIs doing outputs that could corrupt the ring buffer when only tracing used them. It is now obsolete and adds a little overhead, it should be removed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-28sysfs: tightened sysfs permission checksGobinda Charan Maji
There were some inconsistency in restriction to VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS(). Previously the test was "User perms >= group perms >= other perms". The permission field of User, Group or Other consists of three bits. LSB is EXECUTE permission, MSB is READ permission and the middle bit is WRITE permission. But logically WRITE is "more privileged" than READ. Say for example, permission value is "0430". Here User has only READ permission whereas Group has both WRITE and EXECUTE permission. So, the checks could be tightened and the tests are separated to USER_READABLE >= GROUP_READABLE >= OTHER_READABLE, USER_WRITABLE >= GROUP_WRITABLE and OTHER_WRITABLE is not permitted.

2015-05-19sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with ↵David Hildenbrand
disabled pagefaults Commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access code (that uses might_fault()). The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the following scenario: pagefault_disable() rc = copy_to_user(...) pagefault_enable() Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not sleep and return an error code if a page is not available. However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario: spin_lock(&lock); rc = copy_to_user(...) spin_unlock(&lock) If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable() will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would correctly never sleep on user access. However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP (with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler could sleep. We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks. Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off. As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish whether user acces functions might sleep. Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina: "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in this pile. Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a proprietary service, without any intentions to have their implementation merged. Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2]. The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic nature of the change that is being introduced. In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code redirection machinery to the patched functions. On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the "patched" one at safe checkpoints. If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that evolved around [3]. It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting. And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull request. It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e. code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc). It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible. It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code). It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about regs-saving). Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been sketched out already in the thread at [3]). Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION && SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

2015-02-01sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debuggingLinus Torvalds
Commit 8eb23b9f35aa ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING, but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it calls schedule. However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that normally doesn't actually need to sleep). And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen every time. In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater, as reported by Bruno Prémont. But there may be other legacy uses of that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never get converted to the new model. This fixes both cases: - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true. So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))" would trigger for every nested sleep. - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change' that is used for the debugging decision itself. (Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test) Reported-and-bisected-by: Bruno Prémont <bonbons@linux-vserver.org> Tested-by: Rafael J Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, Cc: Ilya Dryomov <ilya.dryomov@inktank.com>, Cc: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com>, Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>, Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-12-10kernel: add panic_on_warnPrarit Bhargava
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.
