      radix-tree: replace preallocated node array with linked list · 9d2a8da0
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Currently we use per-cpu array to hold pointers to preallocated nodes.
      Let's replace it with linked list.  On x86_64 it saves 256 bytes in
      per-cpu ELF section which may translate into freeing up 2MB of memory for
      NR_CPUS==8192.

      bitmap: remove explicit newline handling using scnprintf format string · 9cf79d11
      Sudeep Holla authored
      bitmap_print_to_pagebuf uses scnprintf to copy the cpumask/list to page
      buffer.  It handles the newline and trailing null character explicitly.
      
      It's unnecessary and also partially duplicated as scnprintf already adds
      trailing null character.  The newline can be passed through format
      string to scnprintf.  This patch does that simplification.
      
      However theoretically there's one behavior difference: when the buffer
      is too small, the original code would still output '\n' at the end while
      the new code(with this patch) would just continue to print the formatted
      string.  Since this function is dealing with only page buffers, it's
      highly unlikely to hit that corner case.
      
      This patch will help in auditing the users of bitmap_print_to_pagebuf to
      verify that the buffer passed is large enough and get rid of it
      completely by replacing them with direct scnprintf()

      lib/sort: Add 64 bit swap function · ca96ab85
      Daniel Wagner authored
      In case the call side is not providing a swap function, we either use a
      32 bit or a generic swap function.  When swapping around pointers on 64
      bit architectures falling back to use the generic swap function seems
      like an unnecessary waste.
      
      There at least 9 users ('sort' is of difficult to grep for) of sort()
      and all of them use the sort function without a customized swap
      function.  Furthermore, they are all using pointers to swap around:
      
      arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:sanitize_e820_map()
      arch/x86/mm/extable.c:sort_extable()
      drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps()
      fs/btrfs/super.c:btrfs_descending_sort_devices()
      fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_block.c:xfs_dir2_sf_to_block()
      kernel/range.c:clean_sort_range()
      mm/memcontrol.c:__mem_cgroup_usage_register_event()
      sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:snd_hda_parse_pin_defcfg()
      sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:sort_pins_by_sequence()
      
      Obviously, we could improve the swap for other sizes as well
      but this is overkill at this point.
      
      A simple test shows sorting a 400 element array (try to stay in one
      page) with either with u32_swap() or u64_swap() show that the theory
      actually works. This test was done on a x86_64 (Intel Xeon E5-4610)
      machine.

      hexdump: Make test data really const · 79e23d57
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      The test data arrays, containing pointers to test strings, are never
      modified, so they can be const, too.  Hence mark them "const" and
      "__initconst".
      
      This moves 28 pointers from ".init.data" to ".init.rodata".

      __bitmap_parselist: fix bug in empty string handling · 2528a8b8
      Chris Metcalf authored
      bitmap_parselist("", &mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in
      the mask.  The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is
      layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g.  if you boot with "isolcpus=",
      you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated.
      
      The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420 ("bitmap, irq: add
      smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was
      generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.

      Section headers can be quite long and some are very long and duplicated

      The current maximum length emitted for a section header is 20 bytes (or
      17 bytes then ...  when the section header length is > 20).
      
      Change that length to 50 so more of the section is shown.

      Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM:

      That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values

      security_syslog() should be called once only · d194e5d6
      Vasily Averin authored
      The final version of commit 637241a9 ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict
      sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are
      processed incorrectly:
      
      - open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using
        check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if
        dmesg_restrict is set.
      
      - syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog
        can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then
        directly in do_syslog())
      
      With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all
      syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

      netconsole: implement extended console support · e2f15f9a
      Tejun Heo authored
      printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for
      structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed
      to regular console drivers.
      
      It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to
      netconsole consumers.  This obviously makes logging via netconsole more
      complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments
      where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g.  when netconsole
      is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to
      travel congested hops to reach the aggregator.  The lost and reordered
      messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the
      sequence numbers.
      
      printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by
      setting CON_EXTENDED flag.  From console driver side, not much changes.
      The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is
      formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
      
      This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be
      enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or
      echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs.  When enabled, netconsole
      transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg
      output.
      
      There's one complication due to message fragments.  netconsole limits the
      maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into
      multiple fragments.  As all extended console messages should carry
      matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message
      fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to
      identify the specific fragment.  The optional header is of the form
      "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and
      LEN is the total length.
      
      To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended
      netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is
      configured.

      netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutex · 369e5a88
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex to
      synchronize the configuration operations.
      
      This patch replaces the per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single
      mutex - dynamic_netconsole_mutex.  The reduced granularity doesn't hurt
      anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding
      operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic netconsoles.

      write_msg() grabs target_list_lock and walks target_list invoking

      with netconsole_target_get/put() even though it never releases
      target_list_lock which protects all the members.
      
      While this doesn't harm anything, it doesn't serve any purpose either.

      printk: implement support for extended console drivers · 6fe29354
      Tejun Heo authored
      printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
      sequence number and timestamp.  The metadata is currently available only
      through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers.  We
      want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
      consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
      which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
      in transit.
      
      This patch implements support for extended console drivers.  Consoles can
      indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
      flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
      
       "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"
      
      If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled.  This
      ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
      sequence number.  The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
      the fragments from the reader side trivially.  Note that this only affects
      /dev/kmsg.  Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
      this change.
      
      * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
        are registered extended consoles.
      
      * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
        contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

      printk: guard the amount written per line by devkmsg_read() · d43ff430
      Tejun Heo authored
      This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
      same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
      information which enables things like structured logging and detection
      of lost messages.
      
      This patch (of 7):
      
      devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output
      message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use
      of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use
      devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't
      that complicated.
      
      This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read()
      so that it limits output accordingly.

      clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic · 3033f14a
      Josh Triplett authored
      clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
      pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
      calling conventions.  In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
      parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
      assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
      code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
      as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel.  That's a massive hack, and
      it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
      existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
      system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
      the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
      call entry point across architectures.
      
      The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
      normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
      HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
      into this.
      
      These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
      this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
      uncontroversial and have acks.  I'd like to go ahead and submit these
      two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
      opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  However, I'm also happy to wait and
      send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
      anyone would prefer that.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
      storage area for the new thread.  sys_clone declares an int argument
      tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
      various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
      that argument.  Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
      copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
      pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
      kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
      in).
      
      Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
      one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
      code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
      argument-passing order.  This prevents introducing a new version of the
      clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
      position of the tls argument.
      
      However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
      sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
      
      Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
      and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
      unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument.  Change sys_clone's tls
      argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
      that down to copy_thread_tls.
      
      Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
      the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
      entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
      syscall.

      compiler-intel: fix wrong compiler barrier() macro · b86a50c3
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Cleanup commit 73679e50 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
      definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
      intrinsics.
      
      However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
      accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
      inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.
      
      Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
      compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
      the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
      statements.
      
      I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
      and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
      cleanup would be simplest option.

      fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN · 2e13ba54
      Iago López Galeiras authored
      Commit 81841161 ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
      entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
      file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      
      This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
      because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
      
      However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
      I would like to use it in rkt.  The rkt process exec() another program
      it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
      process.  I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
      external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
      which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.
      
      This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it.  This allows enabling
      /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.
      
      Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
      kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
      CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

      proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline · c2c0bb44
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      /proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with
      
      	$ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null
      
      However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB
      and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether.
      
      People noticed and ask questions:
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit
      
      seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
      open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.  To
      not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary
      sized command lines.
      
      I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line
      layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]".
      
      The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control
      flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count.
      
      There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

      prctl: more prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) checks · 4a00e9df
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Individual prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) calls do some checking to maintain a
      consistent view of mm->arg_start et al fields, but not enough.  In
      particular PR_SET_MM_ARG_START/PR_SET_MM_ARG_END/ R_SET_MM_ENV_START/
      PR_SET_MM_ENV_END only check that the address lies in an existing VMA,
      but don't check that the start address is lower than the end address _at
      all_.
      
      Consolidate all consistency checks, so there will be no difference in
      the future between PR_SET_MM_MAP and individual PR_SET_MM_* calls.
      
      The program below makes both ARGV and ENVP areas be reversed.  It makes
      /proc/$PID/cmdline show garbage (it doesn't oops by luck).

      zpool: remove zpool_evict() · 479305fd
      Dan Streetman authored
      Remove zpool_evict() helper function.  As zbud is currently the only
      zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
      references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
      handle) on eviction.
      
      Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
      list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
      matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
      function.  However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
      keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
      and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
      a page.  This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
      eviction.

      zram: check comp algorithm availability earlier · d93435c3
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored
      Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
      
      comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
      because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
      device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
      error:
      
        "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
      
      this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
      attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
      
      add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
      
        echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
        -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
