When dynamically linking, Address Sanitizer requires its library to be the first one to be loaded; this is apparently to ensure that every call to malloc is intercepted. If using LD_PRELOAD, those listed libraries will be loaded before the libraries listed in the program's ELF and will therefore violate this requirement, leading to the below failure and output from ASan. commit58e2847ad2("selftests: line buffer test program's stdout") modified the kselftest runner to force line buffering by forcing the test programs to run through `stdbuf`. It turns out that stdbuf implements line buffering by injecting a library via LD_PRELOAD. Therefore selftests that use ASan started failing. Fix this by statically linking libasan in the affected test programs, using the `-static-libasan` option. Note this is already the default for Clang, but not got GCC. Test output sample for failing case: TAP version 13 1..3 # timeout set to 300 # selftests: openat2: openat2_test # ==4052==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD. not ok 1 selftests: openat2: openat2_test # exit=1 # timeout set to 300 # selftests: openat2: resolve_test # ==4070==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD. not ok 2 selftests: openat2: resolve_test # exit=1 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230912135048.1755771-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com Signed-off-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> Fixes:58e2847ad2("selftests: line buffer test program's stdout") Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202309121342.97e2f008-oliver.sang@intel.com Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Florent Revest <revest@chromium.org> Cc: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Cc: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
