linux: Add mainline version 4.14
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Announcement for Linux 4.14 [1]:

> No surprises this week, although it is probably worth pointing out how
> the 0day robot has been getting even better (it was very useful
> before, but Fengguang has been working on making it even better, and
> reporting the problems it has found).
>
> Sure, some of the new reports turned out to be just 0day doing things
> that just don't work (ie KASAN with old gcc versions, but also doing
> things like loading old ISA drivers in situations that just don't make
> sense - remember when you couldn't even ask if the hardware existed or
> not, and just had to know), but even then it's been all good.
>
> The appended shortlog is obviously only for the (small) haul since
> rc8, and it really is tiny. Not very many commits, and they are small.
> The biggest thing that stands out in the diffstat is the
> "leaking_addresses" perl script, which is actually under active
> development, but I put the first version in for 4.14 just so that
> people could see that initial state and start looking at the end
> result and perhaps ask themselves "should my code make these kernel
> addresses visible to user space".
>
> The actual changes will hopefully start percolating into 4.15, with
> one notable llikely early change (which has been discussed extensively
> on the list) being to just hash any "%p" addresses by default. We used
> to have strict modes that just zeroed the address out, but that was
> actually counter-productive, in that often people use the address as a
> "kernel object identity" for debugging (or fro cross-correlation -
> think network sockets), and so just clearing the pointer value makes
> those kinds of uses pointless. But using a secure hash allows for
> those kinds of identity uses, while not actually leaking the address
> itself.
>
> (Other situations where the actual address is relevant then need other
> approaches - we'll be restricting /proc/kallsyms only to entities that
> actually need them etc etc).
>
> Anyway, apart from that one script, the rest of it really is
> one-liners or "few-liners".
>
> The most noticeable last-minute change is probably that we had to
> revert the code that showed a good MHz value in /proc/cpuinfo even for
> the modern "CPU picks frequency dynamically" case. It worked fine, but
> it was much too expensive on machines with tens or hundreds of CPU
> cores. There's a cunning plan, but it didn't make 4.14, so we'll get
> it working and then back-port.
>
> Anything else is pretty esoteric, you can just read the changelog..
>
> And with this, the merge window for 4.15 is obviously open. As
> mentioned in the late rc announcements, the extra week for rc8 means
> that now Thanksgiving week ends up happening during the second half of
> the merge window, and I'll be off on a family vacation.
>
> We'll see how that goes.
>
> I might decide that I'll extend the merge window if I feel that I
> can't be responsive enough.
>
> Or maybe you guys won't even notice, because I _will_ have my laptop
> and internet access.
>
> Or maybe I will just decide that 4.14 was a painful release, and any
> late stragglers for 4.15 are not worth _another_ painful release, and
> I'll just say "tough luck, you were late to the merge window, and I
> felt more like being out in the sun than taking your second-week pull
> request".
>
> Because it really would be lovely to have a smaller and calmer release for 4.15.
>
> Anyway, go out and test the new 4.14 release, that is slated to be the
> next LTS kernel - and start sending me pull request for the 4.15 merge
> window.
