Kcov causes the compiler to add a call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() in every basic block. Ftrace patches in a call to _mcount() to each function it has annotated. Letting these mechanisms annotate each other is a bad thing. Break the loop by adding 'notrace' to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() so that ftrace won't try to patch this code. This patch lets arm64 with KCOV and STACK_TRACER boot. Signed-off-by:

When kswapd goes to sleep it checks if the node is balanced and at first it sleeps only for HZ/10 time, then rechecks if the node is still balanced and nobody has woken it during the initial sleep. Only then it goes fully sleep until an allocation slowpath wakes it up again. For higher-order allocations, waking up kcompactd is done only before the full sleep. This turns out to be an issue in case another high-order allocation fails during the initial sleep. It will wake kswapd up, however kswapd considers the zone balanced from the order-0 perspective, and will just quickly try to sleep again. So if there's a longer stream of high-order allocations hitting the slowpath and waking up kswapd, it might never actually wake up kcompactd, which may be considered a regression from kswapd-based compaction. In the worst case, it might be that a single allocation that cannot direct reclaim/compact itself is waking kswapd in the retry loop and preventing kcompactd from being woken up and unblocking it. This patch makes sure kcompactd is woken up in such situations by simply moving the wakeup before the short initial sleep. More efficient solution would be to wake kcompactd immediately instead of kswapd if the node is already order-0 balanced, but in that case we should also move reset_isolation_suitable() call to kcompactd so it's not adding to the allocator's latency. Since it's late in the 4.6 cycle, let's go with the simpler change for now. Fixes: accf6242 ("mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd") Signed-off-by:

Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed* migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of memory-failure. It will make the stat wrong. As well, it marks the page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed. It would mean we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility. This patches fixes it. Signed-off-by:

Kyeongdon reported below error which is BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) in page_swap_info. The reason is that page_endio in rw_page unlocks the page if read I/O is completed so we need to hold a PG_lock again to check PageSwapCache. Otherwise, the page can be removed from swapcache.

In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390 this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte. On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance, but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is available. In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel. This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd" variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions. Signed-off-by:

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap. This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where they are not expected.

Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2 and 2/2 respectively). With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from being split under us. We still need patch 2/2. This is simplified version of Andrea's patch. We don't need fancy encoding. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447938052-22165-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

HugeTLB pages cannot be split, so we use the compound_mapcount to track rmaps. Currently page_mapped() will check the compound_mapcount, but will also go through the constituent pages of a THP compound page and query the individual _mapcount's too. Unfortunately, page_mapped() does not distinguish between HugeTLB and THP compound pages and assumes that a compound page always needs to have HPAGE_PMD_NR pages querying. For most cases when dealing with HugeTLB this is just inefficient, but for scenarios where the HugeTLB page size is less than the pmd block size (e.g. when using contiguous bit on ARM) this can lead to crashes. This patch adjusts the page_mapped function such that we skip the unnecessary THP reference checks for HugeTLB pages.

PageAnon() always look at head page to check PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and tail page's page->mapping has just a poisoned data since commit 1c290f64 ("mm: sanitize page->mapping for tail pages"). If makedumpfile checks page->mapping of a compound tail page to distinguish anonymous page as usual, it must fail in newer kernel. So it's necessary to export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to avoid checking compound tail pages. The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump file in kernels 4.5.x and later. This means that extra disk space would be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical. Signed-off-by:

makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for page filtering. However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order, hence VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of page.compound_order. The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0, but the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so this was not actual problem. The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor, it's necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages. Further, the content was changed from direct address to the ID which means dtor. The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump file in kernels 4.4.x and later. This means that extra disk space would be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "So, it turns out we had a silly bug in the most fundamental part of workqueue for a very long time. AFAICS, this dates back to pre-git era and has quite likely been there from the time workqueue was first introduced. A work item uses its PENDING bit to synchronize multiple queuers. Anyone who wins the PENDING bit owns the pending state of the work item. Whether a queuer wins or loses the race, one thing should be guaranteed - there will soon be at least one execution of the work item - where "after" means that the execution instance would be able to see all the changes that the queuer has made prior to the queueing attempt. Unfortunately, we were missing a smp_mb() after clearing PENDING for execution, so nothing guaranteed visibility of the changes that a queueing loser has made, which manifested as a reproducible blk-mq stall. Lots of kudos to Roman for debugging the problem. The patch for -stable is the minimal one. For v3.7, Peter is working on a patch to make the code path slightly more efficient and less fragile" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix ghost PENDING flag while doing MQ IO

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "Two patches to fix a deadlock which can be easily triggered if memcg charge moving is used. This bug was introduced while converting threadgroup locking to a global percpu_rwsem and is caused by cgroup controller task migration path depending on the ability to create new kthreads. cpuset had a similar issue which was fixed by performing heavy-lifting operations asynchronous to task migration. The two patches fix the same issue in memcg in a similar way. The first patch makes the mechanism generic and the second relocates memcg charge moving outside the migration path. Given that we don't want to perform heavy operations while writelocking threadgroup lock anyway, moving them out of the way is a desirable solution. One thing to note is that the problem was difficult to debug because lockdep couldn't figure out the deadlock condition. Looking into how to improve that" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: memcg: relocate charge moving from ->attach to ->post_attach cgroup, cpuset: replace cpuset_post_attach_flush() with cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback

Depending on the size of the area to be memset'ed, the nios2 memset implementation either uses a naive loop (for buffers smaller or equal than 8 bytes) or a more optimized implementation (for buffers larger than 8 bytes). This implementation does 4-byte stores rather than 1-byte stores to speed up memset. However, we discovered that on our nios2 platform, memset() was not properly setting the buffer to the expected value. A memset of 0xff would not set the entire buffer to 0xff, but to: 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 ... Which is obviously incorrect. Our investigation has revealed that the problem lies in the incorrect constraints used in the inline assembly. The following piece of assembly, from the nios2 memset implementation, is supposed to create a 4-byte value that repeats 4 times the 1-byte pattern passed as memset argument: /* fill8 %3, %5 (c & 0xff) */ " slli %4, %5, 8\n" " or %4, %4, %5\n" " slli %3, %4, 16\n" " or %3, %3, %4\n" However, depending on the compiler and optimization level, this code might be compiled as: 34: 280a923a slli r5,r5,8 38: 294ab03a or r5,r5,r5 3c: 2808943a slli r4,r5,16 40: 2148b03a or r4,r4,r5 This is wrong because r5 gets used both for %5 and %4, which leads to the final pattern stored in r4 to be 0xff00ff00 rather than the expected 0xffffffff. %4 is defined with the "=r" constraint, i.e as an output operand. However, as explained in http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/arm-inline-asm.html, this does not prevent gcc from using the same register for an output operand (%4) and input operand (%5). By using the constraint modifier '&', we indicate that the register should be used for output only. With this change, we get the following assembly output: 34: 2810923a slli r8,r5,8 38: 4150b03a or r8,r8,r5 3c: 400e943a slli r7,r8,16 40: 3a0eb03a or r7,r7,r8 Which correctly produces the 0xffffffff pattern when 0xff is passed as the memset() pattern. It is worth mentioning the observed consequence of this bug: we were hitting the kernel BUG() in mm/bootmem.c:__free() that verifies when marking a page as free that it was previously marked as occupied (i.e that the bit was set to 1). The entire bootmem bitmap is set to 0xff bit via a memset() during the bootmem initialization. The bootmem_free() call right after the initialization was finding some bits to be set to 0, which didn't make sense since the bitmap has just been memset'ed to 0xff. Except that due to the bug explained above, the bitmap was in fact initialized to 0xff00ff00. Thanks to Marek Vasut for his help and feedback. Signed-off-by:

This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code cleanup with no actual semantic changes. This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code for when we want to remove it again. Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to "dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller, it's simpler and easier to understand. The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in turn validated the tty pointer in the inode. That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty pointer when the dentry is removed". The new code just does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL; in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the obvious straightforward approach will do. The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much, allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use (use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an unprivileged user. This bug was introduced in commit 0246e64d ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only exploitable since commit 1be7f75d ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.

It was a simple idea -- save IPv6 configured addresses on a link down so that IPv6 behaves similar to IPv4. As always the devil is in the details and the IPv6 stack as too many behavioral differences from IPv4 making the simple idea more complicated than it needs to be. The current implementation for keeping IPv6 addresses can panic or spit out a warning in one of many paths: 1. IPv6 route gets an IPv4 route as its 'next' which causes a panic in rt6_fill_node while handling a route dump request. 2. rt->dst.obsolete is set to DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD hitting the WARN_ON in fib6_del 3. Panic in fib6_purge_rt because rt6i_ref count is not 1. The root cause of all these is references related to the host route for an address that is retained. So, this patch deletes the host route every time the ifdown loop runs. Since the host route is deleted and will be re-generated an up there is no longer a need for the l3mdev fix up. On the 'admin up' side move addrconf_permanent_addr into the NETDEV_UP event handling so that it runs only once versus on UP and CHANGE events. All of the current panics and warnings appear to be related to addresses on the loopback device, but given the catastrophic nature when a bug is triggered this patch takes the conservative approach and evicts all host routes rather than trying to determine when it can be re-used and when it can not. That can be a later optimizaton if desired. Signed-off-by:

During debug it became clear that stalled request is always inserted in the rq_list from the following path: save_stack_trace_tsk + 34 blk_mq_insert_requests + 231 blk_mq_flush_plug_list + 281 blk_flush_plug_list + 199 wait_on_page_bit + 192 __filemap_fdatawait_range + 228 filemap_fdatawait_range + 20 filemap_write_and_wait_range + 63 blkdev_fsync + 27 vfs_fsync_range + 73 blkdev_write_iter + 202 __vfs_write + 170 vfs_write + 169 kernel_write + 56 So blk_flush_plug_list() was called with from_schedule == true. If from_schedule is true, that means that finally blk_mq_insert_requests() offloads execution of __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and uses kblockd workqueue, i.e. it calls kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on(). That means, that we race with another CPU, which is about to execute __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() work. Further debugging shows the following traces from different CPUs: CPU#0 CPU#1 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------- reqeust A inserted STORE hctx->ctx_map[0] bit marked kblockd_schedule...() returns 1 <schedule to kblockd workqueue> request B inserted STORE hctx->ctx_map[1] bit marked kblockd_schedule...() returns 0 *** WORK PENDING bit is cleared *** flush_busy_ctxs() is executed, but bit 1, set by CPU#1, is not observed As a result request B pended forever. This behaviour can be explained by speculative LOAD of hctx->ctx_map on CPU#0, which is reordered with clear of PENDING bit and executed _before_ actual STORE of bit 1 on CPU#1. The proper fix is an explicit full barrier <mfence>, which guarantees that clear of PENDING bit is to be executed before all possible speculative LOADS or STORES inside actual work function.

Currently ARM CPUs DT bindings allows different enable-method value for PSCI based systems. On ARM 64-bit this property is required and must be "psci" while on ARM 32-bit systems this property is optional and must be "arm,psci" if present. However, "arm,psci" has always been the compatible string for the PSCI node, and was never intended to be the enable-method. So this is a bug in the binding and not a deliberate attempt at specifying 32-bit differently. This is problematic if 32-bit OS is run on 64-bit system which has "psci" as enable-method rather than the expected "arm,psci". So let's unify the value into "psci" and remove support for "arm,psci" before it finds any users. Reported-by:

Hello, So, this ended up a lot simpler than I originally expected. I tested it lightly and it seems to work fine. Petr, can you please test these two patches w/o the lru drain drop patch and see whether the problem is gone? Thanks. ------ 8< ------ If charge moving is used, memcg performs relabeling of the affected pages from its ->attach callback which is called under both cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus can't create new kthreads. This is fragile as various operations may depend on workqueues making forward progress which relies on the ability to create new kthreads. There's no reason to perform charge moving from ->attach which is deep in the task migration path. Move it to ->post_attach which is called after the actual migration is finished and cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is dropped. * move_charge_struct->mm is added and ->can_attach is now responsible for pinning and recording the target mm. mem_cgroup_clear_mc() is updated accordingly. This also simplifies mem_cgroup_move_task(). * mem_cgroup_move_task() is now called from ->post_attach instead of ->attach. Signed-off-by:

Since e93ad19d ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write(). This is to avoid performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation. memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific function. This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach. The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is called under cgroup_mutex. This is to guarantee that no other migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are finished. cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system and has never been and shouldn't be a problem. We can add specialized synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think there's any noticeable benefit. Signed-off-by:

Commit 52cbae01 ("toshiba_acpi: Change default Hotkey enabling value") changed the hotkeys enabling value, as it was the same value Windows uses, however, it turns out that the value tells the EC that the driver will now take care of the hardware events like the physical RFKill switch or the pointing device toggle button. This patch reverts such commit by changing the default hotkey enabling value to 0x09, which enables hotkey events only, making the hardware buttons working again. Fixes bugs 113331 and 114941.
