If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other has been selected at the time of its registration. This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when the stdout-path console is later registered the call to add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output: Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled. When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be enabled as expected.

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D array. If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable (140/148 bytes). But if it is not, code allocates full page (!) regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry array. 2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to optimize them (gid is never known at compile time). All of the above is unnecessary. Switch to the usual trailing-zero-len-array scheme. Memory is allocated with kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed. Accesses become simpler (LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement). Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes. I think kernel can handle such allocation. On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay! Nice side effects: - "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing, - fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot, - aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating diffs. Enable this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) so that function names are printed right.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

Previously tile was rolling its own method of capturing backtrace data in the NMI handlers, but it was relying on running printk() from the NMI handler, which is not always safe. So adopt the nmi_backtrace model (with the new cpumask extension) instead. So we can call the nmi_backtrace code directly from the nmi handler, move the nmi_enter()/exit() into the top-level tile NMI handler. The semantics of the routine change slightly since it is now synchronous with the remote cores completing the backtraces. Previously it was asynchronous, but with protection to avoid starting a new remote backtrace if the old one was still in progress.

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI. Similarly, the forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not support generating an NMI to self. Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of the current cpu. It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack() will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI handler. The register state will be missing, but that state is likely not particularly helpful in any case. Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to nmi_cpu_backtrace().

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.

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.

This simple test case abstracted from nvml can easily reproduce this bug in common environment: -------------------------- testcase.c ----------------------------- int is_pmem_proc(const void *addr, size_t len) { const char *caddr = addr; FILE *fp; if ((fp = fopen("/proc/self/smaps", "r")) == NULL) { printf("!/proc/self/smaps"); return 0; } int retval = 0; /* assume false until proven otherwise */ char line[PROCMAXLEN]; /* for fgets() */ char *lo = NULL; /* beginning of current range in smaps file */ char *hi = NULL; /* end of current range in smaps file */ int needmm = 0; /* looking for mm flag for current range */ while (fgets(line, PROCMAXLEN, fp) != NULL) { static const char vmflags[] = "VmFlags:"; static const char mm[] = " wr"; /* check for range line */ if (sscanf(line, "%p-%p", &lo, &hi) == 2) { if (needmm) { /* last range matched, but no mm flag found */ printf("never found mm flag.\n"); break; } else if (caddr < lo) { /* never found the range for caddr */ printf("#######no match for addr %p.\n", caddr); break; } else if (caddr < hi) { /* start address is in this range */ size_t rangelen = (size_t)(hi - caddr); /* remember that matching has started */ needmm = 1; /* calculate remaining range to search for */ if (len > rangelen) { len -= rangelen; caddr += rangelen; printf("matched %zu bytes in range " "%p-%p, %zu left over.\n", rangelen, lo, hi, len); } else { len = 0; printf("matched all bytes in range " "%p-%p.\n", lo, hi); } } } else if (needmm && strncmp(line, vmflags, sizeof(vmflags) - 1) == 0) { if (strstr(&line[sizeof(vmflags) - 1], mm) != NULL) { printf("mm flag found.\n"); if (len == 0) { /* entire range matched */ retval = 1; break; } needmm = 0; /* saw what was needed */ } else { /* mm flag not set for some or all of range */ printf("range has no mm flag.\n"); break; } } } fclose(fp); printf("returning %d.\n", retval); return retval; } void *Addr; size_t Size; /* * worker -- the work each thread performs */ static void * worker(void *arg) { int *ret = (int *)arg; *ret = is_pmem_proc(Addr, Size); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 2 || argc > 3) { printf("usage: %s file [env].\n", argv[0]); return -1; } int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR); struct stat stbuf; fstat(fd, &stbuf); Size = stbuf.st_size; Addr = mmap(0, stbuf.st_size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); close(fd); pthread_t threads[NTHREAD]; int ret[NTHREAD]; /* kick off NTHREAD threads */ for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++) pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, worker, &ret[i]); /* wait for all the threads to complete */ for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++) pthread_join(threads[i], NULL); /* verify that all the threads return the same value */ for (int i = 1; i < NTHREAD; i++) { if (ret[0] != ret[i]) { printf("Error i %d ret[0] = %d ret[i] = %d.\n", i, ret[0], ret[i]); } } printf("%d", ret[0]); return 0; } 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.

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.

As requested, this patch checks the existing LSM hooks task_getscheduler/task_setscheduler when reading or modifying the task's timerslack value. 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.

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.

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 Compile tested for: - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - ia64 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473703083-8625-3-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.comSigned-off-by:

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/57EA6AE7.7090807@zoho.comSigned-off-by:

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160929084407.7004-3-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160929084407.7004-2-mhocko@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

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.

no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 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).

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().

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).

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.

vma->vm_page_prot is read lockless from the rmap_walk, it may be updated concurrently and this prevents the risk of reading intermediate values. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474660305-19222-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

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.
