      vhost-net: add module alias (v2.1) · 7c7c7f01
      stephen hemminger authored
      By adding some module aliases, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly
      call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel.
      It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work.
      
      Also:
        - use C99 style initialization.
        - add missing entry in documentation for loop-control

      Andrew explains:
      
       - various misc stuff
      
       - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
      
       - cpumask
      
       - kexec
      
       - kdump
      
       - some direct-io performance tweaking
      
       - radix-tree optimisations
      
       - new selftests code
      
         A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
         feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
         feature.  Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
         Sometimes we paste it into the changelog.  Sometimes the code gets
         thrown into Documentation/(!).
      
         This saddens me.  So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
         will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
         the kernel tree so we can keep them alive.  Then when people enhance
         or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
      
         The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
         evolves.
      
       - checkpoint/restart feature work.
      
         A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
         c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
         into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
      
         So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
         little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
         expose something new or which permit something which is normally
         kernel-private to be modified.
      
         The overall project is an ongoing thing.  I've judged that the size
         and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
         with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
         than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
      
         However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
         eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
         of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.  So if it all
         eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
         be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
      
      This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

      c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entries · 028ee4be
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
      from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time.  This patch
      adds auxilary prctl codes for that.
      
      While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
      into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values
      are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
      Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
      operation.  So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
      prctl calls:
      
       - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
       - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
         VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
         such as:
         - code segment must be executable but not writable;
         - data segment must not be executable.
      
      start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
      exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.
      
      Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.
      
      Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
      otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

      c/r: procfs: add start_data, end_data, start_brk members to /proc/$pid/stat v4 · b3f7f573
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are
      involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might
      be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address.
      
      For restore we need to know all these values.  While
      mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest
      members are not, so this patch brings them in.
      
      The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using
      prctl().

      radix_tree: take radix_tree_path off stack · e2bdb933
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
      shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
      swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().
      
      You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
      radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on
      its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case
      it needs to ascend to update them).  And if any tag is still set [1],
      that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such
      192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack.  (At least we have
      interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)
      
      That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of
      half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated
      it unnecessarily.  But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
      radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
      freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the
      tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock
      must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.
      
      So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
      rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path.  There would be
      space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can
      argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but
      recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a
      constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.
      
      Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
      adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
      tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node
      again.
      
      perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
      slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
      Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
      but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.
      
      [1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
      set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is
      well-behaved.  But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to
      this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set
      and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to
      use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and
      that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
      filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

      dio: optimize cache misses in the submission path · 65dd2aa9
      Andi Kleen authored
      Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a
      major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while
      accessing the block size.  This is because it has to walk the chain from
      block_dev to gendisk to queue.
      
      The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes.  It's only
      done if the check for the inode block size fails.  But the costly block
      device state is unconditionally fetched.
      
      - Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually
        needed.
      
      Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path.  This
      is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually
      touch the block dev now.
      
      - I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block
        device fetch code is not normally executed.
      
      This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database
      benchmark (about 0.3%)

      This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
      it's visible to block_devices.  I think that's safe correct?

      fs/direct-io.c: calculate fs_count correctly in get_more_blocks() · ae55e1aa
      Tao Ma authored
      In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
      tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned.  But
      actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd.  See the
      following example:
      
      	dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096
      
      (direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024).  The same goes if the offset
      isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.
      
      In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we
      will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096).  The old code
      just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate
      and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4).  So we'd better call
      get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

      panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops · 6e6f0a1f
      Andi Kleen authored
      When an oops causes a panic and panic prints another backtrace it's pretty
      common to have the original oops data be scrolled away on a 80x50 screen.
      
      The second backtrace is quite redundant and not needed anyways.
      
      So don't print the panic backtrace when oops_in_progress is true.

      sysctl: add the kernel.ns_last_pid control · b8f566b0

      The sysctl works on the current task's pid namespace, getting and setting
      its last_pid field.
      
      Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible
      to create a task with desired pid value.  This ability is required badly
      for the checkpoint/restore in userspace.
      
      This approach suits all the parties for now.

      kdump: add udev events for memory online/offline · f5138e42
      Michael Holzheu authored
      Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
      generated:
      
        # udevadm monitor
        # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
        ==> No event
      
      When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
      stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header.  Therefore, for kdump it
      is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
      configuration changes (e.g.  for online/offline hotplug memory).
      
      In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used.  This kernel
      patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline".  Together with this
      kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
      to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":
      
        SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
        SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"

      Building an ARM target we get the following warnings:

      Quoting Russell King:
      
      "linux/crash_dump.h makes no attempt to include asm/elf.h, but it depends
      on stuff in asm/elf.h to determine how stuff inside this file is defined
      at parse time.
      
      So, if asm/elf.h is included after linux/crash_dump.h or not at all, you
      get a different result from the situation where asm/elf.h is included
      before."
      
      So add elf.h header to crash_dump.h to avoid this problem.

      kdump: fix crash_kexec()/smp_send_stop() race in panic() · 93e13a36
      Michael Holzheu authored
      When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
      condition that can stop kdump.  The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
      second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
      on the first CPU.  So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
      kdump fails:
      
      1st CPU:
        panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump
      
      2nd CPU:
        panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
             ->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)
      
      This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
      allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
      code.
      
      All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
      CPU itself.  This function can be overloaded by architecture code.  For
      example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

      kdump: crashk_res init check for /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size · bec013c4
      Michael Holzheu authored
      Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
      /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been
      defined with the "crashkernel" parameter.  In this case "crashk_res" is
      not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0.  Unfortunately
      resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case.  This breaks the s390
      implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().
      
      To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
      crash_shrink_memory().  "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
      initialized.  With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
      "crashk_res" is not initialized.  It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
      /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
      /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".
      
      In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.
      "ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

      kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory() · 6480e5a0
      Michael Holzheu authored
      When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for
      the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment.
      
      Example:
      
        $ cat /proc/iomem
        00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
          00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
          005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
          009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
        c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel
        d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
      
        $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
        $ cat /proc/iomem
        00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
          00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
          005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
          009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
                                         <<-- here is System RAM missing
        d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
      
      One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
      using memory hotplug.  With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
      resource for the released memory.  Then the upper example looks like the
      following:
      
        $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
        $ cat /proc/iomem
        00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
          00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
          005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
          009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
        c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM   <<-- new rescoure
        d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
      
      And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

      mm: rearrange putback_inactive_pages · 3f79768f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in
      migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the
      latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as
      move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list().
      
      Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from
      update_isolated_counts().  Move clear_active_flags() inside
      update_isolated_counts().  Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into
      shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer.
      
      Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and
      spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches
      update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().
