Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "I've got a few smaller fixes queued up for 3.9 that should go in. The major one is the loop regression, the others are nice fixes on their own though. It contains: - Fix for unitialized var in the block sysfs code, courtesy of Arnd and gcc-4.8. - Two fixes for mtip32xx, fixing probe and command timeout. Also a debug measure that could have waited for 3.10, but it's driver only, so I let it slip in. - Revert the loop partition cleanup fix, it could cause a deadlock on auto-teardown as part of umount. The fix is clear, but at this point we just want to revert it and get a real fix in for 3.10." * tag 'for-linus-20130409' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: Revert "loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device" mtip32xx: fix two smatch warnings mtip32xx: Add debugfs entry device_status mtip32xx: return 0 from pci probe in case of rebuild mtip32xx: recovery from command timeout block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store

Linus Torvalds authored
In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to protect against. However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we _do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so, and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical region by the compiler. In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we obviously lose. Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right. So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not to move things around the critical region. This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05e ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions") and 3e2e0d2c ("tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for <asm/irqflags.h>") to come about. Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned, this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in practice.

ARC irqsave/restore macros were missing the compiler barrier, causing a stale load in irq-enabled region be used in irq-safe region, despite being changed, because the register holding the value was still live. The problem manifested as random crashes in timer code when stress testing ARCLinux (3.9-rc3) on a !SMP && !PREEMPT_COUNT Here's the exact sequence which caused this: (0). tv1[x] <----> t1 <---> t2 (1). mod_timer(t1) interrupted after it calls timer_pending() (2). mod_timer(t2) completes (3). mod_timer(t1) resumes but messes up the list (4). __runt_timers( ) uses bogus timer_list entry / crashes in timer->function Essentially mod_timer() was racing against itself and while the spinlock serialized the tv1[] timer link list, timer_pending() called outside the spinlock, cached timer link list element in a register. With low register pressure (and a deep register file), lack of barrier in raw_local_irqsave() as well as preempt_disable (!PREEMPT_COUNT version), there was nothing to force gcc to reload across the spinlock, causing a stale value in reg be used for link list manipulation - ensuing a corruption. ARcompact disassembly which shows the culprit generated code: mod_timer: push_s blink mov_s r13,r0 # timer, timer .. ###### timer_pending( ) ld_s r3,[r13] # <------ <variable>.entry.next LOADED brne r3, 0, @.L163 .L163: .. ###### spin_lock_irq( ) lr r5, [status32] # flags bic r4, r5, 6 # temp, flags, and.f 0, r5, 6 # flags, flag.nz r4 ###### detach_if_pending( ) begins tst_s r3,r3 <-------------- # timer_pending( ) checks timer->entry.next # r3 is NOT reloaded by gcc, using stale value beq.d @.L169 mov.eq r0,0 ##### detach_timer( ): __list_del( ) ld r4,[r13,4] # <variable>.entry.prev, D.31439 st r4,[r3,4] # <variable>.prev, D.31439 st r3,[r4] # <variable>.next, D.30246 We initially tried to fix this by adding barrier() to preempt_* macros for !PREEMPT_COUNT but Linus clarified that it was anything but wrong. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1512709.html [vgupta: updated commitlog] Reported-by/Signed-off-by: Christian Ruppert <christian.ruppert@abilis.com> Cc: Christian Ruppert <christian.ruppert@abilis.com> Cc: Pierrick Hascoet <pierrick.hascoet@abilis.com> Debugged-by/Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-3.9-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This includes three fixes. Two fix features added in 3.9 and one fixes a long time minor bug. The first patch fixes a race that can happen if the user switches from the irqsoff tracer to another tracer. If a irqs off latency is detected, it will try to use the snapshot buffer, but the new tracer wont have it allocated. There's a nasty warning that gets printed and the trace is ignored. Nothing crashes, just a nasty WARN_ON is shown. The second patch fixes an issue where if the sysctl is used to disable and enable function tracing, it can put the function tracing into an unstable state. The third patch fixes an issue with perf using the function tracer. An update was done, where the stub function could be called during the perf function tracing, and that stub function wont have the "control" flag set and cause a nasty warning when running perf." * tag 'trace-fixes-3.9-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop ftrace: Consistently restore trace function on sysctl enabling tracing: Fix race with update_max_tr_single and changing tracers

The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning if the called function is not a control function. This is because the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of functions. commit 0a016409 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop" Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we get the following dump: root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1 [ 74.339105] WARNING: at include/linux/ftrace.h:209 ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0() [ 74.349522] Hardware name: PRIMERGY RX200 S6 [ 74.357149] Modules linked in: sg igb iTCO_wdt ptp pps_core iTCO_vendor_support i7core_edac dca lpc_ich i2c_i801 coretemp edac_core crc32c_intel mfd_core ghash_clmulni_intel dm_multipath acpi_power_meter pcspk r microcode vhost_net tun macvtap macvlan nfsd kvm_intel kvm auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd sunrpc uinput xfs libcrc32c sd_mod crc_t10dif sr_mod cdrom mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm qla2xxx mptsas ahci drm li bahci scsi_transport_sas mptscsih libata scsi_transport_fc i2c_core mptbase scsi_tgt dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [ 74.446233] Pid: 1377, comm: perf Tainted: G W 3.9.0-rc1 #1 [ 74.453458] Call Trace: [ 74.456233] [<ffffffff81062e3f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 74.462997] [<ffffffff810fbc60>] ? rcu_note_context_switch+0xa0/0xa0 [ 74.470272] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.478117] [<ffffffff81062e9a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 74.484681] [<ffffffff81102ede>] ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0 [ 74.491760] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.497511] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.503486] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.509500] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.516088] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.522268] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.528837] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.536696] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.542878] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.548869] [<ffffffff81105c67>] unregister_ftrace_function+0x27/0x50 [ 74.556243] [<ffffffff8111eadf>] perf_ftrace_event_register+0x9f/0x140 [ 74.563709] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.569887] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.575898] [<ffffffff8111e94e>] perf_trace_destroy+0x2e/0x50 [ 74.582505] [<ffffffff81127ba9>] tp_perf_event_destroy+0x9/0x10 [ 74.589298] [<ffffffff811295d0>] free_event+0x70/0x1a0 [ 74.595208] [<ffffffff8112a579>] perf_event_release_kernel+0x69/0xa0 [ 74.602460] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.608667] [<ffffffff8112a640>] put_event+0x90/0xc0 [ 74.614373] [<ffffffff8112a740>] perf_release+0x10/0x20 [ 74.620367] [<ffffffff811a3044>] __fput+0xf4/0x280 [ 74.625894] [<ffffffff811a31de>] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [ 74.631387] [<ffffffff81083697>] task_work_run+0xa7/0xe0 [ 74.637452] [<ffffffff81014981>] do_notify_resume+0x71/0xb0 [ 74.643843] [<ffffffff8162fa92>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub.

This reverts commit 8761a3dc. There are situations where the destruction path is called with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock() on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

powerpc: pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove fails from Adjunct partition being performed before the ANDCOND test Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the ANDCOND test. The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed. So add a check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a specific HPTE to remove. So it is ok to just move on to the next slot and try again. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michael Wolf <mjw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

This patch adds support for kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init functions for reads and writes that will cross a page. If the range falls within the same memslot, then this will be a fast operation. If the range is split between two memslots, then the slower kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest are used. Tested: Test against kvm_clock unit tests.

eboot.o and efi_stub_$(BITS).o didn't get added to "targets", and hence their .cmd files don't get included by the build machinery, leading to the files always getting rebuilt. Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit. At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are meaningless for assembly sources.

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
