      nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods · 9a01c3ed
      Chris Metcalf authored
      Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
      
      This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
      backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
      improvements along the way.
      
      The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
      scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
      about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu.  It can be helpful to see both
      where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
      cpu that is being interrupted is.  The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
      to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.
      
      I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
      x86, arm, mips, and sparc64.  For x86 I confirmed that the generic
      cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
      new cpuidle section.  For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
      and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
      section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
      idle routines might be.  That might be more usefully done by someone
      with platform experience in follow-up patches.
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
      cpus but yourself.  It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
      of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
      support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.
      
      This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
      cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
      the new "cpumask" method instead.
      
      The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
      using the new cpumask approach in this change.
      
      The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
      to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
      The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
      will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

      min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested · 589a9785
      Johannes Berg authored
      Currently, when min/max are nested within themselves, sparse will warn:
      
          warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
          originally declared here
          warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
          originally declared here
          warning: symbol '_min2' shadows an earlier one
          originally declared here
      
      This also immediately happens when min3() or max3() are used.
      
      Since sparse implements __COUNTER__, we can use __UNIQUE_ID() to
      generate unique variable names, avoiding this.

      mm, proc: fix region lost in /proc/self/smaps · 855af072
      Robert Ho authored
      Recently, Redhat reported that nvml test suite failed on QEMU/KVM,
      more detailed info please refer to:
      
         https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365721
      
      Actually, this bug is not only for NVDIMM/DAX but also for any other
      file systems.  This simple test case abstracted from nvml can easily
      reproduce this bug in common environment:

      }
      
      It failed as some threads can not find the memory region in
      "/proc/self/smaps" which is allocated in the main process
      
      It is caused by proc fs which uses 'file->version' to indicate the VMA that
      is the last one has already been handled by read() system call. When the
      next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next
      VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows:
      
              if (last_addr) {
                      vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr);
                      if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma)))
                              return vma;
              }
      
      However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, e.g:
      
      The process VMA list is A->B->C->D
      
      CPU 0                                  CPU 1
      read() system call
         handle VMA B
         version = B
      return to userspace
      
                                         unmap VMA B
      
      issue read() again to continue to get
      the region info
         find_vma(version) will get VMA C
         m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D
         handle D
         !!! VMA C is lost !!!
      
      In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the end address
      of the current VMA.  m_start will then look up a vma which with vma_start
      < last_vm_end and moves on to the next vma if we found the same or an
      overlapping vma.  This will guarantee that we will not miss an exclusive
      vma but we can still miss one if the previous vma was shrunk.  This is
      acceptable because guaranteeing "never miss a vma" is simply not feasible.
      User has to cope with some inconsistencies if the file is not read in one
      go.

      proc: fix timerslack_ns CAP_SYS_NICE check when adjusting self · 4b2bd5fe
      John Stultz authored
      In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
      to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p
      == current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't.
      
      Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed
      privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a
      task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns
      (which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method).
      
      This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking the
      CAP_SYS_NICE value.
      
      This patch applies on top of my two previous patches currently in -mm

      Previous versions added new get/settimerslack LSM hooks, but since they
      checked the same PROCESS__SET/GETSCHED values as existing hooks, it was
      suggested we just use the existing ones.

      proc: relax /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns capability requirements · 7abbaf94
      John Stultz authored
      When an interface to allow a task to change another tasks timerslack was
      first proposed, it was suggested that something greater then
      CAP_SYS_NICE would be needed, as a task could be delayed further then
      what normally could be done with nice adjustments.
      
      So CAP_SYS_PTRACE was adopted instead for what became the
      /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns interface.  However, for Android (where this
      feature originates), giving the system_server CAP_SYS_PTRACE would allow
      it to observe and modify all tasks memory.  This is considered too high
      a privilege level for only needing to change the timerslack.
      
      After some discussion, it was realized that a CAP_SYS_NICE process can
      set a task as SCHED_FIFO, so they could fork some spinning processes and
      set them all SCHED_FIFO 99, in effect delaying all other tasks for an
      infinite amount of time.
      
      So as a CAP_SYS_NICE task can already cause trouble for other tasks,
      using it as a required capability for accessing and modifying
      /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns seems sufficient.
      
      Thus, this patch loosens the capability requirements to CAP_SYS_NICE and
      removes CAP_SYS_PTRACE, simplifying some of the code flow as well.
      
      This is technically an ABI change, but as the feature just landed in
      4.6, I suspect no one is yet using it.

      vsnprintf() is slow because:
      
      1. format_decode() is busy looking for format specifier: 2 branches
         per character (not in this case, but in others)
      
      2. approximately million branches while parsing format mini language
         and everywhere
      
      3.  just look at what string() does /proc/vmstat is good case because
         most of its content are strings

      atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE · 51a02124
      Vineet Gupta authored
      This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.
      
      The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
      to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available.  It seems it
      was needed when not every arch defined it.  However as of current code
      the Kconfig option seems needless
      
       - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
         generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
       - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
         define the API in their headers
      
      So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option

      linux/mm.h: canonicalize macro PAGE_ALIGNED() definition · 1061b0d2
      zijun_hu authored
      The macro PAGE_ALIGNED() is prone to cause error because it doesn't
      follow convention to parenthesize parameter @addr within macro body, for
      example unsigned long *ptr = kmalloc(...); PAGE_ALIGNED(ptr + 16); for
      the left parameter of macro IS_ALIGNED(), (unsigned long)(ptr + 16) is
      desired but the actual one is (unsigned long)ptr + 16.
      
      It is fixed by simply canonicalizing macro PAGE_ALIGNED() definition.

      zhong jiang authored
      When the huge page is added to the page cahce (huge_add_to_page_cache),
      the page private flag will be cleared.  since this code
      (remove_inode_hugepages) will only be called for pages in the page
      cahce, PagePrivate(page) will always be false.
      
      The patch remove the code without any functional change.

      mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long · 63f53dea
      Michal Hocko authored
      Currently we do warn only about allocation failures but small
      allocations are basically nofail and they might loop in the page
      allocator for a long time.  Especially when the reclaim cannot make any
      progress - e.g.  GFP_NOFS cannot invoke the oom killer and rely on a
      different context to make a forward progress in case there is a lot
      memory used by filesystems.
      
      Give us at least a clue when something like this happens and warn about
      allocations which take more than 10s.  Print the basic allocation
      context information along with the cumulative time spent in the
      allocation as well as the allocation stack.  Repeat the warning after
      every 10 seconds so that we know that the problem is permanent rather
      than ephemeral.

      mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed users · 7877cdcc
      Michal Hocko authored
      warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc
      allocators.  This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would
      appreciate a slightly different warning message.  This is already
      handled by the fmt parameter except that
      
        "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)"
      
      is printed anyway.  This might be quite misleading because it might be a
      vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is
      not the culprit here.  Fix this by always using the fmt string and only
      print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g.
      order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context).
      
      Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch
      will reuse it also for !failure cases.

      vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range() · c2a9737f
      Wei Fang authored
      We triggered a deadloop in truncate_inode_pages_range() on 32 bits
      architecture with the test case bellow:
      
      	...
      	fd = open();
      	write(fd, buf, 4096);
      	preadv64(fd, &iovec, 1, 0xffffffff000);
      	ftruncate(fd, 0);
      	...
      
      Then ftruncate() will not return forever.
      
      The filesystem used in this case is ubifs, but it can be triggered on
      many other filesystems.
      
      When preadv64() is called with offset=0xffffffff000, a page with
      index=0xffffffff will be added to the radix tree of ->mapping.  Then
      this page can be found in ->mapping with pagevec_lookup().  After that,
      truncate_inode_pages_range(), which is called in ftruncate(), will fall
      into an infinite loop:
      
       - find a page with index=0xffffffff, since index>=end, this page won't
         be truncated
      
       - index++, and index become 0
      
       - the page with index=0xffffffff will be found again
      
      The data type of index is unsigned long, so index won't overflow to 0 on
      64 bits architecture in this case, and the dead loop won't happen.
      
      Since truncate_inode_pages_range() is executed with holding lock of
      inode->i_rwsem, any operation related with this lock will be blocked,
      and a hung task will happen, e.g.:
      
        INFO: task truncate_test:3364 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
        ...
           call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x17/0x30
           generic_file_write_iter+0x32/0x1c0
           ubifs_write_iter+0xcc/0x170
           __vfs_write+0xc4/0x120
           vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0
           SyS_write+0x46/0xa0
      
      The page with index=0xffffffff added to ->mapping is useless.  Fix this
      by checking the read position before allocating pages.

      So all nodes but Node 0 have a lot of free memory which should suggest
      that there is an available memory especially when mems_allowed=0-7.  One
      could speculate that a massive process has managed to terminate and free
      up a lot of memory while racing with the above allocation request.
      Although this is highly unlikely it cannot be ruled out.
      
      A further debugging, however shown that the faulting process had
      mempolicy (not cpuset) to bind to Node 0.  We cannot see that
      information from the report though.  mems_allowed turned out to be more
      confusing than really helpful.
      
      Fix this by always priting the nodemask.  It is either mempolicy mask
      (and non-null) or the one defined by the cpusets.  The new output for
      the above oom report would be
      
        PoolThread invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x280da(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0
      
      This patch doesn't touch show_mem and the node filtering based on the
      cpuset node mask because mempolicy is always a subset of cpusets and
      seeing the full cpuset oom context might be helpful for tunning more
      specific mempolicies inside cpusets (e.g.  when they turn out to be too
      restrictive).  To prevent from ugly ifdefs the mask is printed even for
      !NUMA configurations but this should be OK (a single node will be
      printed).

      mm: vma_merge: correct false positive from __vma_unlink->validate_mm_rb · 8f26e0b1
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      The old code was always doing:
      
         vma->vm_end = next->vm_end
         vma_rb_erase(next) // in __vma_unlink
         vma->vm_next = next->vm_next // in __vma_unlink
         next = vma->vm_next
         vma_gap_update(next)
      
      The new code still does the above for remove_next == 1 and 2, but for
      remove_next == 3 it has been changed and it does:
      
         next->vm_start = vma->vm_start
         vma_rb_erase(vma) // in __vma_unlink
         vma_gap_update(next)
      
      In the latter case, while unlinking "vma", validate_mm_rb() is told to
      ignore "vma" that is being removed, but next->vm_start was reduced
      instead. So for the new case, to avoid the false positive from
      validate_mm_rb, it should be "next" that is ignored when "vma" is
      being unlinked.
      
      "vma" and "next" in the above comment, considered pre-swap().

      mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walk · e86f15ee
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the
      pte/pmd manipulations).  So it's not safe to wait the caller to update
      the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing
      the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the
      next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma
      vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks.
      
      The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the
      current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks.
      
      The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate
      as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that
      got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma.
      
        migrate   	      	        mprotect
        ------------			-------------
        migrating in "next" vma
      				vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and
      			        	    # extends "current" vma
      					    # current vma is not with
      					    # vm_page_prot updated
        remove_migration_ptes
        read vm_page_prot of current "vma"
        establish pte with wrong permissions
      				vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late!
      				change_protection in the old vma range
      				only, next range is not updated
      
      This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in
      heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction
      in the background.
      
      Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge
      which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger,
      in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen.
      
      This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from:
      
            AAAA
        PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN
      
      to:
      
            AAAA
        PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX
      
      XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by
      vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully.  It has the added benefits
      that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge
      succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are
      bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range,
      as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by
      rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for
      reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before
      releasing the rmap_locks).

      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      mm->highest_vm_end doesn't need any update.
      
      After finally removing the oddness from vma_merge case 8 that was
      causing:
      
      1) constant risk of trouble whenever anybody would check vma fields
         from rmap_walks, like it happened when page migration was
         introduced and it read the vma->vm_page_prot from a rmap_walk
      
      2) the callers of vma_merge to re-initialize any value different from
         the current vma, instead of vma_merge() more reliably returning a
         vma that already matches all fields passed as parameter
      
      .. it is also worth to take the opportunity of cleaning up superfluous
      code in vma_adjust(), that if not removed adds up to the hard
      readability of the function.

      mm,ksm: add __GFP_HIGH to the allocation in alloc_stable_node() · 6213055f
      zhong jiang authored
      According to Hugh's suggestion, alloc_stable_node() with GFP_KERNEL can
      in rare cases cause a hung task warning.
      
      At present, if alloc_stable_node() allocation fails, two break_cows may
      want to allocate a couple of pages, and the issue will come up when free
      memory is under pressure.
      
      We fix it by adding __GFP_HIGH to GFP, to grant access to memory
      reserves, increasing the likelihood of allocation success.

      mm/hugetlb: improve locking in dissolve_free_huge_pages() · eb03aa00
      Gerald Schaefer authored
      For every pfn aligned to minimum_order, dissolve_free_huge_pages() will
      call dissolve_free_huge_page() which takes the hugetlb spinlock, even if
      the page is not huge at all or a hugepage that is in-use.
      
      Improve this by doing the PageHuge() and page_count() checks already in
      dissolve_free_huge_pages() before calling dissolve_free_huge_page().  In
      dissolve_free_huge_page(), when holding the spinlock, those checks need
      to be revalidated.

      mm/hugetlb: check for reserved hugepages during memory offline · 082d5b6b
      Gerald Schaefer authored
      In dissolve_free_huge_pages(), free hugepages will be dissolved without
      making sure that there are enough of them left to satisfy hugepage
      reservations.
      
      Fix this by adding a return value to dissolve_free_huge_pages() and
      checking h->free_huge_pages vs.  h->resv_huge_pages.  Note that this may
      lead to the situation where dissolve_free_huge_page() returns an error
      and all free hugepages that were dissolved before that error are lost,
      while the memory block still cannot be set offline.

      mm/hugetlb: fix memory offline with hugepage size > memory block size · 2247bb33
      Gerald Schaefer authored
      Patch series "mm/hugetlb: memory offline issues with hugepages", v4.
      
      This addresses several issues with hugepages and memory offline.  While
      the first patch fixes a panic, and is therefore rather important, the
      last patch is just a performance optimization.
      
      The second patch fixes a theoretical issue with reserved hugepages,
      while still leaving some ugly usability issue, see description.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a
      list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory
      block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a "gigantic"
      hugetlb page with a size > memory block size.
      
      When no other smaller hugetlb page sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON()
      will trigger directly.  In the other case we will run into an addressing
      exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not work on the
      head page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL
      hstate from page_hstate().
      
      To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then
      use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page().  This means
      that an unused pre-allocated gigantic page that has any part of itself
      inside the memory block that is going offline will be dissolved
      completely.  Losing an unused gigantic hugepage is preferable to failing
      the memory offline, for example in the situation where a (possibly
      faulty) memory DIMM needs to go offline.

      mm: memcontrol: consolidate cgroup socket tracking · 2d758073
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The cgroup core and the memory controller need to track socket ownership
      for different purposes, but the tracking sites being entirely different
      is kind of ugly.
      
      Be a better citizen and rename the memory controller callbacks to match
      the cgroup core callbacks, then move them to the same place.

      mm: move phys_mem_access_prot_allowed() declaration to pgtable.h · 08ea8c07
      Baoyou Xie authored
      We get 1 warning when building kernel with W=1:
      
        drivers/char/mem.c:220:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'phys_mem_access_prot_allowed' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
         int __weak phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(struct file *file,
      
      In fact, its declaration is spreading to several header files in
      different architecture, but need to be declare in common header file.
      
      So this patch moves phys_mem_access_prot_allowed() to pgtable.h.

      mm: don't emit warning from pagefault_out_of_memory() · a104808e
      Tetsuo Handa authored
      Commit c32b3cbe ("oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path
      raceless") inserted a WARN_ON() into pagefault_out_of_memory() in order
      to warn when we raced with disabling the OOM killer.
      
      Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs.  pm suspend
      properly" introduced a timeout for oom_killer_disable().  Even if we
      raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked,
      the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and
      the OOM livelock will be solved.  Therefore, we no longer need to warn
      when we raced with disabling the OOM killer.

      mm, compaction: restrict fragindex to costly orders · 20311420
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Fragmentation index and the vm.extfrag_threshold sysctl is meant as a
      heuristic to prevent excessive compaction for costly orders (i.e.  THP).
      It's unlikely to make any difference for non-costly orders, especially
      with the default threshold.  But we cannot afford any uncertainty for
      the non-costly orders where the only alternative to successful
      reclaim/compaction is OOM.  After the recent patches we are guaranteed
      maximum effort without heuristics from compaction before deciding OOM,
      and fragindex is the last remaining heuristic.  Therefore skip fragindex
      altogether for non-costly orders.
