When performing a consuming read, the ring buffer swaps out a page from the ring buffer with a empty page and this page that was swapped out becomes the new reader page. The reader page is owned by the reader and since it was swapped out of the ring buffer, writers do not have access to it (there's an exception to that rule, but it's out of scope for this commit). When reading the "trace" file, it is a non consuming read, which means that the data in the ring buffer will not be modified. When the trace file is opened, a ring buffer iterator is allocated and writes to the ring buffer are disabled, such that the iterator will not have issues iterating over the data. Although the ring buffer disabled writes, it does not disable other reads, or even consuming reads. If a consuming read happens, then the iterator is reset and starts reading from the beginning again. My tests would sometimes trigger this bug on my i386 box: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5175 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1527 __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 5175 Comm: grep Not tainted 3.16.0-rc3-test+ #8 Hardware name: /DG965MQ, BIOS MQ96510J.86A.0372.2006.0605.1717 06/05/2006 00000000 00000000 f09c9e1c c18796b3 c1b5d74c f09c9e4c c103a0e3 c1b5154b f09c9e78 00001437 c1b5d74c 000005f7 c10bd85a c10bd85a c1cac57c f09c9eb0 ed0e0000 f09c9e64 c103a185 00000009 f09c9e5c c1b5154b f09c9e78 f09c9e80^M Call Trace: [<c18796b3>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x75 [<c103a0e3>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7e/0x95 [<c10bd85a>] ? __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa [<c10bd85a>] ? __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa [<c103a185>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x35 [<c10bd85a>] __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa^M [<c10bed04>] trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0x64 [<c10c3c16>] trace_print_context+0x27/0xec [<c10c4360>] ? trace_seq_printf+0x37/0x5b [<c10c0b15>] print_trace_line+0x319/0x39b [<c10ba3fb>] ? ring_buffer_read+0x47/0x50 [<c10c13b1>] s_show+0x192/0x1ab [<c10bfd9a>] ? s_next+0x5a/0x7c [<c112e76e>] seq_read+0x267/0x34c [<c1115a25>] vfs_read+0x8c/0xef [<c112e507>] ? seq_lseek+0x154/0x154 [<c1115ba2>] SyS_read+0x54/0x7f [<c188488e>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ---[ end trace 3f507febd6b4cc83 ]--- >>>> ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### Which was the __trace_find_cmdline() function complaining about the pid in the event record being negative. After adding more test cases, this would trigger more often. Strangely enough, it would never trigger on a single test, but instead would trigger only when running all the tests. I believe that was the case because it required one of the tests to be shutting down via delayed instances while a new test started up. After spending several days debugging this, I found that it was caused by the iterator becoming corrupted. Debugging further, I found out why the iterator became corrupted. It happened with the rb_iter_reset(). As consuming reads may not read the full reader page, and only part of it, there's a "read" field to know where the last read took place. The iterator, must also start at the read position. In the rb_iter_reset() code, if the reader page was disconnected from the ring buffer, the iterator would start at the head page within the ring buffer (where writes still happen). But the mistake there was that it still used the "read" field to start the iterator on the head page, where it should always start at zero because readers never read from within the ring buffer where writes occur. I originally wrote a patch to have it set the iter->head to 0 instead of iter->head_page->read, but then I questioned why it wasn't always setting the iter to point to the reader page, as the reader page is still valid. The list_empty(reader_page->list) just means that it was successful in swapping out. But the reader_page may still have data. There was a bug report a long time ago that was not reproducible that had something about trace_pipe (consuming read) not matching trace (iterator read). This may explain why that happened. Anyway, the correct answer to this bug is to always use the reader page an not reset the iterator to inside the writable ring buffer.

SyS_read+0x60/0x8e [<ffffffff8150bf9f>] ? tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 Debugging this bug, which triggers when the rb_iter_peek() loops too many times (more than 2 times), I discovered there's a case that can cause that function to legitimately loop 3 times! rb_iter_peek() is different than rb_buffer_peek() as the rb_buffer_peek() only deals with the reader page (it's for consuming reads). The rb_iter_peek() is for traversing the buffer without consuming it, and as such, it can loop for one more reason. That is, if we hit the end of the reader page or any page, it will go to the next page and try again. That is, we have this: 1. iter->head > iter->head_page->page->commit (rb_inc_iter() which moves the iter to the next page) try again 2. event = rb_iter_head_event() event->type_len == RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTEND rb_advance_iter() try again 3. read the event. But we never get to 3, because the count is greater than 2 and we cause the WARNING and return NULL. Up the counter to 3.

The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

Add a note about the usage of the identity mapping; we do not support accesses outside of the identity map region and kernel image while a CPU is using the identity map.

nr_dirty is updated without locking, causing it to drift so that it is non-zero (either a small positive integer, or a very large one when an underflow occurs) even when there are no actual dirty blocks. This was due to a race between the workqueue and map function accessing nr_dirty in parallel without proper protection. People were seeing under runs due to a race on increment/decrement of nr_dirty, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/648 Fix this by using an atomic_t for nr_dirty.

1d3d4437 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE. But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags (e.g. memcg awareness). Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc() when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker and any other similar structures are zeroed. This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects. If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

Th AF_ALG socket was missing a security label (e.g. SELinux) which means that socket was in "unlabeled" state. This was recently demonstrated in the cryptsetup package (cryptsetup v1.6.5 and later.) See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115120 This patch clones the sock's label from the parent sock and resolves the issue (similar to AF_BLUETOOTH protocol family).

PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56b ("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages. If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages aren't anonymous while they also be user pages. We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(), so we need the start address of free_huge_page(): int PageHuge(struct page *page) { if (!PageCompound(page)) return 0; page = compound_head(page); return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page; } For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public to export it to VMCOREINFO.

do_fault_around() expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest page order. Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time in fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down when user changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface. This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0. Result of rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore fault_around_bytes == 0 doesn't work without this patch.

hwpoison_user_mappings() could fail for various reasons, so printk()s to print out the reasons should be done in each failure check inside hwpoison_user_mappings(). And currently we don't call action_result() when hwpoison_user_mappings() fails, which is not consistent with other exit points of memory error handler. So this patch fixes these messaging problems.

The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems. Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a side-effect. This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

The GPIO pin connected to card detect was inverted twice: once by the argument to the GPIO line itself where it was magically marked as active low by the flag GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW (0x01) in the third cell, and also marked active low AGAIN by explicitly stating "cd-inverted" (a deprecated method). After commit 78f87df2 "mmc: mmci: Use the common mmc DT parser" this results in the line being inverted twice so it was effectively uninverted, while the old code would not have this effect, instead disregarding the flag on the GPIO line altogether, which is a bug. I admit the semantics may be unclear but inverting twice is as good a definition as any on how this should work. So fix up the buggy device tree. Use proper #includes so the DTS is clear and readable. Cc: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

Pull Exynos platform DT fix from Grant Likely: "Device tree Exynos bug fix for v3.16-rc7 This bug fix has been brewing for a while. I hate sending it to you so late, but I only got confirmation that it solves the problem this past weekend. The diff looks big for a bug fix, but the majority of it is only executed in the Exynos quirk case. Unfortunately it required splitting early_init_dt_scan() in two and adding quirk handling in the middle of it on ARM. Exynos has buggy firmware that puts bad data into the memory node. Commit 1c2f87c2 ("ARM: Get rid of meminfo") exposed the bug by dropping the artificial upper bound on the number of memory banks that can be added. Exynos fails to boot after that commit. This branch fixes it by splitting the early DT parse function and inserting a fixup hook. Exynos uses the hook to correct the DT before parsing memory regions" * tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux: arm: Add devicetree fixup machine function of: Add memory limiting function for flattened devicetrees of: Split early_init_dt_scan into two parts
