I hit the following issue when run trinity in my system. The kernel is 3.4 version, but mainline has the same issue. The root cause is that the segment size is too large so the kerenl spends too long trying to allocate a page. Other cases will block until the test case quits. Also, OOM conditions will occur. Call Trace: __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x14c/0x8f0 alloc_pages_current+0xaf/0x120 kimage_alloc_pages+0x10/0x60 kimage_alloc_control_pages+0x5d/0x270 machine_kexec_prepare+0xe5/0x6c0 ? kimage_free_page_list+0x52/0x70 sys_kexec_load+0x141/0x600 ? vfs_write+0x100/0x180 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The patch changes sanity_check_segment_list() to verify that the usage by all segments does not exceed half of memory.

If a crash kernel is loaded, do not crash the running domain. This is needed if the kernel is loaded with crash_kexec_post_notifiers, because panic notifiers are run before __crash_kexec() in that case, and this Xen hook prevents its being called later.

Provide a wrapper function to be used by kernel code to check whether a crash kernel is loaded. It returns the same value that can be seen in /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded by userspace programs. I'm exporting the function, because it will be used by Xen, and it is possible to compile Xen modules separately to enable the use of PV drivers with unmodified bare-metal kernels.

crash_kexec_post_notifiers ia a boot option which controls whether the 1st kernel calls panic notifiers or not before booting the 2nd kernel. However, there is no need to limit it to being modifiable only at boot time. So, use core_param instead of early_param.

Provide kexec with the boot view of memory by overriding the normal kexec translation functions added in a previous patch. We also need to fix a call to memblock in machine_kexec_prepare() so that we provide it with a running-view physical address rather than a boot- view physical address.

kexec physical addresses are the boot-time view of the system. For certain ARM systems (such as Keystone 2), the boot view of the system does not match the kernel's view of the system: the boot view uses a special alias in the lower 4GB of the physical address space. To cater for these kinds of setups, we need to translate between the boot view physical addresses and the normal kernel view physical addresses. This patch extracts the current transation points into linux/kexec.h, and allows an architecture to override the functions. Due to the translations required, we unfortunately end up with six translation functions, which are reduced down to four that the architecture can override.

On PAE systems (eg, ARM LPAE) the vmcore note may be located above 4GB physical on 32-bit architectures, so we need a wider type than "unsigned long" here. Arrange for paddr_vmcoreinfo_note() to return a phys_addr_t, thereby allowing it to be located above 4GB. This makes no difference for kexec-tools, as they already assume a 64-bit type when reading from this file. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/E1b8koK-0004HS-K9@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.ukSigned-off-by:

In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only), tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations, placing the flag in ti->status. Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and drop the custom implementations. Additional architectures can opt in by removing their TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8a14321d64a28e40adfddc90e18a96c086a6d6f9.1468522723.git.luto@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user space programs. This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor changes are accompanied by this migration: - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure. - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

Define an own output routine to replace bare use of printk() function. The output routine is implemented with a macro and a helper function, which are named nilfs_msg() and __nilfs_msg(), respectively. __nilfs_msg() formats a message like "NILFS (<device-name>): <message>", prefixing it with a given log level, and terminates the statement with a newline. The "device-name" is optional to make it available in early stages; it will be omitted if a NULL pointer is passed to super block instance argument. nilfs_msg() wraps __nilfs_msg() and is removed if CONFIG_PRINTK is not set.

A double-bug exists in the bss calculation code, where an overflow can happen in the "last_bss - elf_bss" calculation, but vm_brk internally aligns the argument, underflowing it, wrapping back around safe. We shouldn't depend on these bugs staying in sync, so this cleans up the bss padding handling to avoid the overflow. This moves the bss padzero() before the last_bss > elf_bss case, since the zero-filling of the ELF_PAGE should have nothing to do with the relationship of last_bss and elf_bss: any trailing portion should be zeroed, and a zero size is already handled by padzero(). Then it handles the math on elf_bss vs last_bss correctly. These need to both be ELF_PAGE aligned to get the comparison correct, since that's the expected granularity of the mappings. Since elf_bss already had alignment-based padding happen in padzero(), the "start" of the new vm_brk() should be moved forward as done in the original code. However, since the "end" of the vm_brk() area will already become PAGE_ALIGNed in vm_brk() then last_bss should get aligned here to avoid hiding it as a side-effect. Additionally makes a cosmetic change to the initial last_bss calculation so it's easier to read in comparison to the load_addr calculation above it (i.e. the only difference is p_filesz vs p_memsz).

Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message. git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl - A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message, and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input contains a commit message. git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl - Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of "Your patch has style problems." git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/48be31e414bddc65bccfa6b1322359be9ba032eb.1469670589.git.allenbh@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the firmware into the final resting place. This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime. For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from 0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus the vmalloc pressure is reduced. This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160607164741.31849-4-stephen.boyd@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:
