Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel. vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users. The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't be otherwise used for pgds. Reported-by:

On 32-bit non-PAE system, cast to 'phys_addr_t' truncates value before subtraction. Subtracting before cast produce same result but remove following warnings from sparse: arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:255:38: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0) arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:270:38: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0) arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:127:32: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0) arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:132:32: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0) arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:344:31: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0) 64-bit or PAE machines will not be affected by this change.

During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next() is chewing up most of that time). This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()). With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds. Signed-off-by:

The copy of /proc/vmcore to a user buffer proceeds much faster if the kernel addresses memory as cached. With this patch we have seen an increase in transfer rate from less than 15MB/s to 80-460MB/s, depending on size of the transfer. This makes a big difference in time needed to save a system dump.

In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(), we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software involved. On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is 1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is 20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for tlb flush. Signed-off-by:

We now attempt to free "active" objects following a GPU hang as either the GPU will be reset or the hang is permenant. In either case, the GPU writes will not be flushed to main memory and it should be safe to return that memory back to the system. The BUG_ON(active) is thus overkill and can erroneously fire after a EIO. Signed-off-by:

Waiting for a hard coded 20ms isn't always enough to make sure a vblank period has actually occurred, so add code to make sure we really have passed through a vblank period (or that the pipe is off when disabling). This prevents problems with mode setting and link training, and seems to fix a bug like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278, but on an HP 8440p instead.

With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools, we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by:

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect. Tested-by:

It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it doubly linked instead. Tested-by:

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock. Signed-off-by:

dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs that one thing from the creds. The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the target process replacing its credentials on another CPU.
