Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit a992bf83 ("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.) Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1. Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

Commit f06e5153 ("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. Signed-off-by:

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd crash_kexec() does nothing.

Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init process. Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure! Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a kernel command-line parameter. Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.

Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function.

As there's no more use for such feature, as it could be easily replaced by calls to seq_open_private() (see commit 39699037 ("[FS] seq_file: Introduce the seq_open_private()")) and seq_release_private() (see v2.6.0-test3), support for this uncommon feature can be removed from seq_open().

A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to seq_open(). Such feature is undocumented and prone to error. In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open(). So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using seq_open_private()/seq_release_private(). Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer to struct seq_file by seq_open(). This patch (of 3): Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function. Commit 1abe77b0 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Mon Nov 7 17:15:34 2005 -0500 [PATCH] allow callers of seq_open do allocation themselves Allow caller of seq_open() to kmalloc() seq_file + whatever else they want and set ->private_data to it. seq_open() will then abstain from doing allocation itself. Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common(). In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct seq_file. Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private(). Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access to the proc_mounts structure. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1433193673.git.ydroneaud@opteya.comSigned-off-by: -

Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the initialisation.

mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked. Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was spent on checking this for every page. The cost could be reduced but in practice this check only found problems very early during the initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since. This patch removes an expensive unnecessary check.

Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects. Signed-off-by:

This patch initalises all low memory struct pages and 2G of the highest zone on each node during memory initialisation if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set. That config option cannot be set but will be available in a later patch. Parallel initialisation of struct page depends on some features from memory hotplug and it is necessary to alter alter section annotations. Signed-off-by:

__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory initialisation is single-threaded. Parallel initialisation of struct pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid() SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information. early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early in boot due to the use of a global static variable. meminit_pfn_in_nid() is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

__free_pages_bootmem prepares a page for release to the buddy allocator and assumes that the struct page is initialised. Parallel initialisation of struct pages defers initialisation and __free_pages_bootmem can be called for struct pages that cannot yet map struct page to PFN. This patch passes PFN to __free_pages_bootmem with no other functional change. Signed-off-by:

Currently each page struct is set as reserved upon initialization. This patch leaves the reserved bit clear and only sets the reserved bit when it is known the memory was allocated by the bootmem allocator. This makes it easier to distinguish between uninitialised struct pages and reserved struct pages in later patches. Signed-off-by:

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to that node. After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I see this in the boot log on a 64G machine [ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms [ 7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms [ 7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms [ 7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms On a 1TB machine, I see [ 8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms [ 8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms [ 8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms [ 8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the 64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the savings were 16 seconds. Nate Zimmer said: : On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as : measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484 : seconds to exactly 1000 seconds. Waiman Long said: : I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system. From : grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s : after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%). Daniel Blueman said: : On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing : stock 4.0 boot in 7136s. This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with : this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350) : drops this to 1045s. This patch (of 13): As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized. This helper function will be used for that expansion. Signed-off-by:

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit 4066c33d and also reverts the portions that introduced the KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number. The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86 configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB. Fixes: 4066c33d ("support the slub_debug boot option") Reported-by:

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules: NFIT: Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - threadgroup_lock got reorganized so that its users can pick the actual locking mechanism to use. Its only user - cgroups - is updated to use a percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem. This makes things a bit lighter on hot paths and allows cgroups to perform and fail multi-task (a process) migrations atomically. Multi-task migrations are used in several places including the unified hierarchy. - Delegation rule and documentation added to unified hierarchy. This will likely be the last interface update from the cgroup core side for unified hierarchy before lifting the devel mask. - Some groundwork for the pids controller which is scheduled to be merged in the coming devel cycle. * 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: add delegation section to unified hierarchy documentation cgroup: require write perm on common ancestor when moving processes on the default hierarchy cgroup: separate out cgroup_procs_write_permission() from __cgroup_procs_write() kernfs: make kernfs_get_inode() public MAINTAINERS: add a cgroup core co-maintainer cgroup: fix uninitialised iterator in for_each_subsys_which cgroup: replace explicit ss_mask checking with for_each_subsys_which cgroup: use bitmask to filter for_each_subsys cgroup: add seq_file forward declaration for struct cftype cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem sched, cgroup: reorganize threadgroup locking cgroup: switch to unsigned long for bitmasks cgroup: reorganize include/linux/cgroup.h cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.h cgroup: fix some comment typos
