      get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.ignore file capability · 435de078
      Joe Perches authored
      Some people prefer not to be cc'd on patches.  Add an ability to have a
      file (.get_maintainer.ignore) with names and email addresses that are
      excluded from being listed except when specifically listed as a maintainer
      in a section.

      check_syslog_permissions() cleanup · 3ea4331c
      Vasily Averin authored
      Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM:
      "from_file handling makes me cry.
      
      That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values
      currently defined.
      
      But the code in check_syslog_permissions() treats it as a boolean and
      also hardwires the knowledge that SYSLOG_FROM_PROC == 1 (or == `true`).
      
      And the name is wrong: it should be called from_proc to match
      SYSLOG_FROM_PROC."

      security_syslog() should be called once only · d194e5d6
      Vasily Averin authored
      The final version of commit 637241a9 ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict
      sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are
      processed incorrectly:
      
      - open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using
        check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if
        dmesg_restrict is set.
      
      - syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog
        can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then
        directly in do_syslog())
      
      With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all
      syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

      netconsole: implement extended console support · e2f15f9a
      Tejun Heo authored
      printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for
      structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed
      to regular console drivers.
      
      It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to
      netconsole consumers.  This obviously makes logging via netconsole more
      complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments
      where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g.  when netconsole
      is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to
      travel congested hops to reach the aggregator.  The lost and reordered
      messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the
      sequence numbers.
      
      printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by
      setting CON_EXTENDED flag.  From console driver side, not much changes.
      The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is
      formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
      
      This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be
      enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or
      echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs.  When enabled, netconsole
      transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg
      output.
      
      There's one complication due to message fragments.  netconsole limits the
      maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into
      multiple fragments.  As all extended console messages should carry
      matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message
      fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to
      identify the specific fragment.  The optional header is of the form
      "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and
      LEN is the total length.
      
      To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended
      netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is
      configured.

      netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutex · 369e5a88
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex to
      synchronize the configuration operations.
      
      This patch replaces the per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single
      mutex - dynamic_netconsole_mutex.  The reduced granularity doesn't hurt
      anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding
      operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic netconsoles.

      netconsole: remove unnecessary netconsole_target_get/out() from write_msg() · a6d403ac
      Tejun Heo authored
      write_msg() grabs target_list_lock and walks target_list invoking
      netpool_send_udp() on each target.  Curiously, it protects each iteration
      with netconsole_target_get/put() even though it never releases
      target_list_lock which protects all the members.
      
      While this doesn't harm anything, it doesn't serve any purpose either.
      The items on the list can't go away while target_list_lock is held.
      Remove the unnecessary get/put pair.

      printk: implement support for extended console drivers · 6fe29354
      Tejun Heo authored
      printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
      sequence number and timestamp.  The metadata is currently available only
      through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers.  We
      want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
      consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
      which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
      in transit.
      
      This patch implements support for extended console drivers.  Consoles can
      indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
      flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
      
       "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"
      
      If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled.  This
      ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
      sequence number.  The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
      the fragments from the reader side trivially.  Note that this only affects
      /dev/kmsg.  Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
      this change.
      
      * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
        are registered extended consoles.
      
      * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
        contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

      printk: guard the amount written per line by devkmsg_read() · d43ff430
      Tejun Heo authored
      This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
      same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
      information which enables things like structured logging and detection
      of lost messages.
      
      This patch (of 7):
      
      devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output
      message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use
      of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use
      devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't
      that complicated.
      
      This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read()
      so that it limits output accordingly.

      clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic · 3033f14a
      Josh Triplett authored
      clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
      pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
      calling conventions.  In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
      parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
      assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
      code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
      as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel.  That's a massive hack, and
      it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
      existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
      system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
      the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
      call entry point across architectures.
      
      The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
      normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
      HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
      into this.
      
      These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
      this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
      uncontroversial and have acks.  I'd like to go ahead and submit these
      two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
      opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  However, I'm also happy to wait and
      send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
      anyone would prefer that.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
      storage area for the new thread.  sys_clone declares an int argument
      tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
      various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
      that argument.  Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
      copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
      pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
      kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
      in).
      
      Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
      one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
      code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
      argument-passing order.  This prevents introducing a new version of the
      clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
      position of the tls argument.
      
      However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
      sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
      
      Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
      and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
      unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument.  Change sys_clone's tls
      argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
      that down to copy_thread_tls.
      
      Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
      the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
      entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
      syscall.

      compiler-intel: fix wrong compiler barrier() macro · b86a50c3
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Cleanup commit 73679e50 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
      definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
      intrinsics.
      
      However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
      accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
      inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.
      
      Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
      compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
      the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
      statements.
      
      I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
      and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
      cleanup would be simplest option.

      fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN · 2e13ba54
      Iago López Galeiras authored
      Commit 81841161 ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
      entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
      file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      
      This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
      because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      
      However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
      I would like to use it in rkt.  The rkt process exec() another program
      it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
      process.  I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
      external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
      which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.
      
      This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it.  This allows enabling
      /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.
      
      Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
      kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

      proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline · c2c0bb44
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      /proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with
      
      	$ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null
      
      However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB
      and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether.
      
      People noticed and ask questions:
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit
      
      seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
      open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.  To
      not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary
      sized command lines.
      
      I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line
      layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]".
      
      The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control
      flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count.
      
      There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

      zpool: remove zpool_evict() · 479305fd
      Dan Streetman authored
      Remove zpool_evict() helper function.  As zbud is currently the only
      zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
      references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
      handle) on eviction.
      
      Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
      list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
      matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
      function.  However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
      keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
      and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
      a page.  This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
      eviction.

      zram: check comp algorithm availability earlier · d93435c3
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
      
      comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
      because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
      device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
      error:
      
        "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
      
      this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
      attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
      
      add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
      
        echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm

      zram: cut trailing newline in algorithm name · 4bbacd51
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs.  echo
      -n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name.  it works fine
      when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
      which takes care of new line symbols.  however, it doesn't look nice when
      we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
      
       zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
                  compressing backend
      
      cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
      
        zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
      
      we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
      strcmp().

      zram: add dynamic device add/remove functionality · 6566d1a3
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      We currently don't support on-demand device creation.  The one and only
      way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
      (default value: 1).  IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
      to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
      the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1.  And do
      this again, if needed.
      
      This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
      attrs:
      - hot_add      -- add a new zram device
      - hot_remove   -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
      
      hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
      assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim).  read operation performed
      on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
      error status.
      
      Usage example:
      	# add a new specific zram device
      	cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
      	2
      
      	# remove a specific zram device
      	echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
      
      Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)
      
      	cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
      	cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory
      
      NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at least
      zram0 device gets always created by zram_init(). Preserve this behavior.

      zram: close race by open overriding · f405c445
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      [ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]
      
      Commit ba6b17d6 ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
      condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
      and reset.  At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
      so it was okay.
      
      However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
      trouble.
      
      	CPU 0
      
      echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
        -> kernfs->s_active(A)
          -> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B)
      
      	CPU 1
      
      echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove
        ->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B)
        -> sysfs_remove_group
          -> kernfs->s_active(A)
      
      IOW, AB -> BA deadlock
      
      The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
      any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
      others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.
      
      To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
      it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
      incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
      for zram_remove ayn more.
      
      This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

      instead. update corresponding comment.

      zram: report every added and removed device · d12b63c9
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      With dynamic device creation/removal (which will be introduced later in
      the series) printing num_devices in zram_init() will not make a lot of
      sense, as well as printing the number of destroyed devices in
      destroy_devices().  Print per-device action (added/removed) in zram_add()
      and zram_remove() instead.
      
      Example:
      
      [ 3645.259652] zram: Added device: zram5
      [ 3646.152074] zram: Added device: zram6
      [ 3650.585012] zram: Removed device: zram5
      [ 3655.845584] zram: Added device: zram8
      [ 3660.975223] zram: Removed device: zram6

      zram: remove max_num_devices limitation · c3cdb40e
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
      is confusing, let's drop it.  A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
      can request as many devices as he can handle.

      zram: reorganize code layout · 522698d7
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks.
      No functional changes.
      
      Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch.
      
      For example,
      a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:
      
      static int zram_decompress_page
      static int zram_bvec_read
      static inline void update_used_max
      static int zram_bvec_write
      static int zram_bvec_rw
      
      b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
      sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
      handler:
      
      static void zram_bio_discard
      static void zram_reset_device
      static ssize_t disksize_store
      static ssize_t reset_store
      static void __zram_make_request
      
      c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
      one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
      functions again, and so on.
      
      Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
      `cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):
      
      -- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.
      
      -- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc
      
      -- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
      show() functions
      exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after
      meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these
      sysfs handlers.
      
      -- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free
      static inline bool zram_meta_get
      static inline void zram_meta_put
      static void zram_meta_free
      static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc
      static void zram_free_page
      
      -- a block of I/O functions
      static int zram_decompress_page
      static int zram_bvec_read
      static int zram_bvec_write
      static void zram_bio_discard
      static int zram_bvec_rw
      static void __zram_make_request
      static void zram_make_request
      static void zram_slot_free_notify
      static int zram_rw_page
      
      -- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class
      will sit here)
      static int zram_reset_device
      static ssize_t reset_store
      static ssize_t disksize_store
      static int zram_add
      static void zram_remove
      static int __init zram_init
      static void __exit zram_exit

      zram: use idr instead of `zram_devices' array · 85508ec6
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      This patch makes some preparations for on-demand device add/remove
      functionality.
      
      Remove `zram_devices' array and switch to id-to-pointer translation (idr).
      idr doesn't bloat zram struct with additional members, f.e.  list_head,
      yet still provides ability to match the device_id with the device pointer.
      
      No user-space visible changes.
