Patch series "sort out the flush_icache_range mess", v2. flush_icache_range is mostly used for kernel address, except for the following cases: - the nommu brk and mmap implementations - the read_code helper that is only used for binfmt_flat, binfmt_elf_fdpic, and binfmt_aout including the broken ia32 compat version - binfmt_flat itself none of which really are used by a typical MMU enabled kernel, as a.out can only be build for alpha and m68k to start with. But strangely enough commit ae92ef8a ("PATCH] flush icache in correct context") added a "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" around the flush_icache_range call in the module loader, because apparently m68k assumed user pointers. This series first cleans up the cacheflush implementations, largely by switching as much as possible to the asm-generic version after a few preparations, then moves the misnamed current flush_icache_user_range to a new name, to finally introduce a real flush_icache_user_range to be used for the above use cases to flush the instruction cache for a userspace address range. The last patch then drops the set_fs in the module code and moves it into the m68k implementation. This patch (of 29): The arguments passed look bogus, try to fix them to something that seems to make sense. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "vhost, docs: convert to pin_user_pages(), new "case 5"" It recently became clear to me that there are some get_user_pages*() callers that don't fit neatly into any of the four cases that are so far listed in pin_user_pages.rst. vhost.c is one of those. Add a Case 5 to the documentation, and refer to that when converting vhost.c. Thanks to Jan Kara for helping me (again) in understanding the interaction between get_user_pages() and page writeback [1]. This is based on today's mmotm, which has a nearby patch to pin_user_pages.rst that rewords cases 3 and 4. Note that I have only compile-tested the vhost.c patch, although that does also include cross-compiling for a few other arches. Any run-time testing would be greatly appreciated. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200529070343.GL14550@quack2.suse.cz This patch (of 2): There are four cases listed in pin_user_pages.rst. These are intended to help developers figure out whether to use get_user_pages*(), or pin_user_pages*(). However, the four cases do not cover all the situations. For example, drivers/vhost/vhost.c has a "pin, write to page, set page dirty, unpin" case. Add a fifth case, to help explain that there is a general pattern that requires pin_user_pages*() API calls.

All of the pin_user_pages*() API calls will cause pages to be dma-pinned. As such, they are all suitable for either DMA, RDMA, and/or Direct IO. The documentation should say so, but it was instead saying that three of the API calls were only suitable for Direct IO. This was discovered when a reviewer wondered why an API call that specifically recommended against Case 2 (DMA/RDMA) was being used in a DMA situation [1]. Fix this by simply deleting those claims. The gup.c comments already refer to the more extensive Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, which does have the correct guidance. So let's just write it once, there.

Patch series "mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), use it in frame_vector.c", v2. This adds yet one more pin_user_pages*() variant, and uses that to convert mm/frame_vector.c. With this, along with maybe 20 or 30 other recent patches in various trees, we are close to having the relevant gup call sites converted--with the notable exception of the bio/block layer. This patch (of 2): Introduce pin_user_pages_locked(), which is nearly identical to get_user_pages_locked() except that it sets FOLL_PIN and rejects FOLL_GET. As with other pairs of get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages() API calls, it's prudent to assert that FOLL_PIN is *not* set in the get_user_pages*() call, so add that as part of this.

API __get_user_pages_fast() renamed to get_user_pages_fast_only() to align with pin_user_pages_fast_only(). As part of this we will get rid of write parameter. Instead caller will pass FOLL_WRITE to get_user_pages_fast_only(). This will not change any existing functionality of the API. All the callers are changed to pass FOLL_WRITE. Also introduce get_user_page_fast_only(), and use it in a few places that hard-code nr_pages to 1. Updated the documentation of the API. Signed-off-by:

Users with SYS_ADMIN capability can add arbitrary taint flags to the running kernel by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted or issuing the command 'sysctl -w kernel.tainted=...'. This interface, however, is open for any integer value and this might cause an invalid set of flags being committed to the tainted_mask bitset. This patch introduces a simple way for proc_taint() to ignore any eventual invalid bit coming from the user input before committing those bits to the kernel tainted_mask. Signed-off-by:

Usually when the kernel reaches an oops condition, it's a point of no return; in case not enough debug information is available in the kernel splat, one of the last resorts would be to collect a kernel crash dump and analyze it. The problem with this approach is that in order to collect the dump, a panic is required (to kexec-load the crash kernel). When in an environment of multiple virtual machines, users may prefer to try living with the oops, at least until being able to properly shutdown their VMs / finish their important tasks. This patch implements a way to collect a bit more debug details when an oops event is reached, by printing all the CPUs backtraces through the usage of NMIs (on architectures that support that). The sysctl added (and documented) here was called "oops_all_cpu_backtrace", and when set will (as the name suggests) dump all CPUs backtraces. Far from ideal, this may be the last option though for users that for some reason cannot panic on oops. Most of times oopses are clear enough to indicate the kernel portion that must be investigated, but in virtual environments it's possible to observe hypervisor/KVM issues that could lead to oopses shown in other guests CPUs (like virtual APIC crashes). This patch hence aims to help debug such complex issues without resorting to kdump. Signed-off-by:

Commit 401c636a ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic") introduced a change in that we started to show all CPUs backtraces when a hung task is detected _and_ the sysctl/kernel parameter "hung_task_panic" is set. The idea is good, because usually when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as hung. The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays). So, users that plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console, which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command). Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung task is detected. The current approach hence is almost as embedding a policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on hung_task_panic. This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called "hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to allow individual control. The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left. Signed-off-by:

After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases. This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and {hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure. It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or 1, not the full range of integers. We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put the alias table in alphabetical order.

Testing is done by a new parameter debug.test_sysctl.boot_int which defaults to 0 and it's expected that the tester passes a boot parameter that sets it to 1. The test checks if it's set to 1. To distinguish true failure from parameter not being set, the test checks /proc/cmdline for the expected parameter, and whether test_sysctl is built-in and not a module.

We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate sysctl to become a sysctl alias. This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter. Note that the sysctl handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy parameter allowed any non-zero value. But there is little reason anyone would not be using 1. Signed-off-by:

We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line, but historically some parameters introduced their own command line equivalent, which we don't want to remove for compatibility reasons. We can, however, convert them to the generic infrastructure with a table translating the legacy command line parameters to their sysctl names, and removing the one-off param handlers. This patch adds the support and makes the first conversion to demonstrate it, on the (deprecated) numa_zonelist_order parameter. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3. This series adds support for something that seems like many people always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of sysctl.vm.something=1 The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the sysctl variants. I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more. The conversion also has varying level of success: - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything but warn on deprecated value these days. - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer value - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic, so there's no straighforward conversion possible - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems pointless for a single flag This patch (of 5): A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line. Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets tainted by any given flag. This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that introduce the taint flags of interest. For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e. unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the command line. Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface /proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.
