Commit 505a666e ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes, which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles. For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives, this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages. It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means less work bouncing from one workqueue to another. Many more details about how we got here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/11/570Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 2ee507c4 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current runqueue with the smp_processor_id. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker). With commit f7819512 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that generates a lot of kernel messages. To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness, we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.: string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) ) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations: For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case: ... remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1 remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512 ... size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0 size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0 The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning collides with device removal. This is probably a separate issue worth fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from infinite looping.

The shadow which correspond 16 bytes memory may span 2 or 3 bytes. If the memory is aligned on 8, then the shadow takes only 2 bytes. So we check "shadow_first_bytes" is enough, and need not to call "memory_is_poisoned_1(addr + 15);". But the code "if (likely(!last_byte))" is wrong judgement. e.g. addr=0, so last_byte = 15 & KASAN_SHADOW_MASK = 7, then the code will continue to call "memory_is_poisoned_1(addr + 15);" Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Acked-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <adech.fo@gmail.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Cc: <zhongjiang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch removes config option of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS, and like other ARCHs, just choose the maximum allowed value from hardware, and follows the reasons: 1) from distribution view, the option has to be defined as the max allowed value because it need to meet all kinds of virtulization applications and need to support most of SoCs; 2) using a bigger value doesn't introduce extra memory consumption, and the help text in Kconfig isn't accurate because kvm_vpu structure isn't allocated until request of creating VCPU is sent from QEMU; 3) the main effect is that the field of vcpus[] in 'struct kvm' becomes a bit bigger(sizeof(void *) per vcpu) and need more cache lines to hold the structure, but 'struct kvm' is one generic struct, and it has worked well on other ARCHs already in this way. Also, the world switch frequecy is often low, for example, it is ~2000 when running kernel building load in VM from APM xgene KVM host, so the effect is very small, and the difference can't be observed in my test at all.

When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt. The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest exit.

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences headed by an ADRP instruction. There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF objects. This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled, builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

When saving/restoring the VFP registers from a compat (AArch32) signal frame, we rely on the compat registers forming a prefix of the native register file and therefore make use of copy_{to,from}_user to transfer between the native fpsimd_state and the compat_vfp_sigframe. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well in a big-endian environment. Our fpsimd save/restore code operates directly on 128-bit quantities (Q registers) whereas the compat_vfp_sigframe represents the registers as an array of 64-bit (D) registers. The architecture packs the compat D registers into the Q registers, with the least significant bytes holding the lower register. Consequently, we need to swap the 64-bit halves when converting between these two representations on a big-endian machine. This patch replaces the __copy_{to,from}_user invocations in our compat VFP signal handling code with explicit __put_user loops that operate on 64-bit values and swap them accordingly.

We have a couple of CPU hotplug notifiers for resetting the CPU debug state to a sane value when a CPU comes online. This patch ensures that we mask out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN so that we don't miss any online events occuring due to suspend/resume.

memset() uses instruction dcbz to speed up clearing by not wasting time loading cache line with data that will be overwritten. Some platform like mpc52xx do no have cache active at startup and can therefore not use memset(). Allthough no part of the code explicitly uses memset(), GCC may make calls to it. This patch modifies memset() such that at startup, memset() unconditionally skip the optimised bloc that uses dcbz instruction. Once the initial MMU is set up, in machine_init() we patch memset() by replacing this inconditional jump by a NOP Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
