Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "So here's my next branch for powerpc. A bit late as I was on vacation last week. It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I just added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for powerpc, which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and is trivial. The highlights are, in addition to a bunch of bug fixes: - Reworked Machine Check handling on kernels running without a hypervisor (or acting as a hypervisor). Provides hooks to handle some errors in real mode such as TLB errors, handle SLB errors, etc... - Support for retrieving memory error information from the service processor on IBM servers running without a hypervisor and routing them to the memory poison infrastructure. - _PAGE_NUMA support on server processors - 32-bit BookE relocatable kernel support - FSL e6500 hardware tablewalk support - A bunch of new/revived board support - FSL e6500 deeper idle states and altivec powerdown support You'll notice a generic mm change here, it has been acked by the relevant authorities and is a pre-req for our _PAGE_NUMA support" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (121 commits) powerpc: Implement arch_spin_is_locked() using arch_spin_value_unlocked() powerpc: Add support for the optimised lockref implementation powerpc/powernv: Call OPAL sync before kexec'ing powerpc/eeh: Escalate error on non-existing PE powerpc/eeh: Handle multiple EEH errors powerpc: Fix transactional FP/VMX/VSX unavailable handlers powerpc: Don't corrupt transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel powerpc: Reclaim two unused thread_info flag bits powerpc: Fix races with irq_work Move precessing of MCE queued event out from syscall exit path. pseries/cpuidle: Remove redundant call to ppc64_runlatch_off() in cpu idle routines powerpc: Make add_system_ram_resources() __init powerpc: add SATA_MV to ppc64_defconfig powerpc/powernv: Increase candidate fw image size powerpc: Add debug checks to catch invalid cpu-to-node mappings powerpc: Fix the setup of CPU-to-Node mappings during CPU online powerpc/iommu: Don't detach device without IOMMU group powerpc/eeh: Hotplug improvement powerpc/eeh: Call opal_pci_reinit() on powernv for restoring config space powerpc/eeh: Add restore_config operation ... -

Pull powerpc mremap fix from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the patch that I had sent after -rc8 and which we decided to wait before merging. It's based on a different tree than my -next branch (it needs some pre-reqs that were in -rc4 or so while my -next is based on -rc1) so I left it as a separate branch for your to pull. It's identical to the request I did 2 or 3 weeks back. This fixes crashes in mremap with THP on powerpc. The fix however requires a small change in the generic code. It moves a condition into a helper we can override from the arch which is harmless, but it *also* slightly changes the order of the set_pmd and the withdraw & deposit, which should be fine according to Kirill (who wrote that code) but I agree -rc8 is a bit late... It was acked by Kirill and Andrew told me to just merge it via powerpc" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/thp: Fix crash on mremap

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that depends on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency: arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected! arch/arm/Kconfig:1845: symbol DMI depends on EFI Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.

Commit 91c2e0bc ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall to be used by all architectures. Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped. This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case. Signed-off-by:

@splice_desc.total_len is 32 bit(unsigned int) which is used to store the size passed from userspace which is 64 bit(size_t) so that the size is unexpectedly truncated That means vmsplice can not work if the size passed from userspace is >= 4G, for example, we noticed in vmsplice, splice-reader does not do anything and splice-writer is waiting for available buffer forever if the size is 4G Fix it by extending @splice_desc.total_len to 64 bits as well Signed-off-by:

Rafael Aquini authored
After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the 'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock(). The spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the racy critical sections. This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API implementation. Signed-off-by:

When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value. The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO flag. For example: struct sembuf depositor_op[1]; struct sembuf collector_op[2]; depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0; depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000; depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0; collector_op[0].sem_num = 0; collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; collector_op[1].sem_num = 0; collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; } return 0; It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd collector operation.

Commit da29bd36 ("mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall") changed to pure_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). That's too early: mm_sysfs_init() depends on core_initcall(ksysfs_init) to have made the kernel_kobj directory "kernel" in which to create "mm". Make it postcore_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). We could use core_initcall(), and depend upon Makefile link order kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ ... as core_initcall(debugfs_init) and core_initcall(securityfs_init) do; but better not.

Revert commit ece86e22, which was intended as a small performance improvement. Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional changes in fact it does. The "no page" path behaves different now. Originally, vmalloc_to_page might return NULL under some conditions, with new implementation it returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL. Simple test shows the difference. test.c #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/vmalloc.h> #include <linux/mm.h> int __init myi(void) { struct page *p; void *v; v = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE); /* trigger the "no page" path in vmalloc_to_page*/ vfree(v); p = vmalloc_to_page(v); pr_err("expected val = NULL, returned val = %p", p); return -EBUSY; } void __exit mye(void) { } module_init(myi) module_exit(mye) Before interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = (null) After interchange: expected val = NULL, returned val = c7ebe000 Signed-off-by:

In original __alloc_memory_core_early() for bootmem wrapper, we do not align size silently. We should not do that, as later free with old size will leave some range not freed. It's obvious that code is copied from memblock_base_nid(), and that code is wrong for the same reason. Also remove that in memblock_alloc_base. Signed-off-by:

Dave reported big numa system booting is broken. It turns out that commit 5b6e5295 ("x86: memblock: set current limit to max low memory address") sets the limit to low wrongly. max_low_pfn_mapped is different from max_pfn_mapped. max_low_pfn_mapped is always under 4G. That will memblock_alloc_nid all go under 4G. Revert 5b6e5295 to fix a no-boot regression which was triggered by 457ff1de ("lib/swiotlb.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocations").

At a glance these are just the inverse of each other. The one subtlety is that arch_spin_value_unlocked() takes the lock by value, rather than as a pointer, which is important for the lockref code. On the other hand arch_spin_is_locked() doesn't really care, so implement it in terms of arch_spin_value_unlocked(). Signed-off-by:

This commit adds the architecture support required to enable the optimised implementation of lockrefs. That's as simple as defining arch_spin_value_unlocked() and selecting the Kconfig option. We also define cmpxchg64_relaxed(), because the lockref code does not need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics. Using Linus' test case[1] on one system I see a 4x improvement for the basic enablement, and a further 1.3x for cmpxchg64_relaxed(), for a total of 5.3x vs the baseline. On another system I see more like 2x improvement. [1]: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=137782380714721&w=4Signed-off-by:
