If the amount of resources allocated to a gen_pool exceeds 2^32 then the avail atomic overflows and this causes problems when clients try and borrow resources from the pool. This is only expected to be an issue on 64 bit systems. Add the <linux/atomic.h> header to pull in atomic_long* operations. So that 32 bit systems continue to use atomic32_t but 64 bit systems can use atomic64_t. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1509033843-25667-1-git-send-email-sbates@raithlin.comSigned-off-by:

The initial value (@M) compute is: m = 1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG - 2); while (m > x) m >>= 2; Which is a linear search for the highest even bit smaller or equal to @x We can implement this using a binary search using __fls() (or better when its hardware implemented). m = 1UL << (__fls(x) & ~1UL); Especially for small values of @x; which are the more common arguments when doing a CDF on idle times; the linear search is near to worst case, while the binary search of __fls() is a constant 6 (or 5 on 32bit) branches. cycles: branches: branch-misses: PRE: hot: 43.633557 +- 0.034373 45.333132 +- 0.002277 0.023529 +- 0.000681 cold: 207.438411 +- 0.125840 45.333132 +- 0.002277 6.976486 +- 0.004219 SOFTWARE FLS: hot: 29.576176 +- 0.028850 26.666730 +- 0.004511 0.019463 +- 0.000663 cold: 165.947136 +- 0.188406 26.666746 +- 0.004511 6.133897 +- 0.004386 HARDWARE FLS: hot: 24.720922 +- 0.025161 20.666784 +- 0.004509 0.020836 +- 0.000677 cold: 132.777197 +- 0.127471 20.666776 +- 0.004509 5.080285 +- 0.003874 Averages computed over all values <128k using a LFSR to generate order.

The current int_sqrt() computation is sub-optimal for the case of small @x. Which is the interesting case when we're going to do cumulative distribution functions on idle times, which we assume to be a random variable, where the target residency of the deepest idle state gives an upper bound on the variable (5e6ns on recent Intel chips). In the case of small @x, the compute loop: while (m != 0) { b = y + m; y >>= 1; if (x >= b) { x -= b; y += m; } m >>= 2; } can be reduced to: while (m > x) m >>= 2; Because y==0, b==m and until x>=m y will remain 0. And while this is computationally equivalent, it runs much faster because there's less code, in particular less branches. cycles: branches: branch-misses: OLD: hot: 45.109444 +- 0.044117 44.333392 +- 0.002254 0.018723 +- 0.000593 cold: 187.737379 +- 0.156678 44.333407 +- 0.002254 6.272844 +- 0.004305 PRE: hot: 67.937492 +- 0.064124 66.999535 +- 0.000488 0.066720 +- 0.001113 cold: 232.004379 +- 0.332811 66.999527 +- 0.000488 6.914634 +- 0.006568 POST: hot: 43.633557 +- 0.034373 45.333132 +- 0.002277 0.023529 +- 0.000681 cold: 207.438411 +- 0.125840 45.333132 +- 0.002277 6.976486 +- 0.004219 Averages computed over all values <128k using a LFSR to generate order.

The GCC randomize layout plugin can randomize the member offsets of sensitive kernel data structures. To use this feature, certain annotations and members are added to the structures which affect the member offsets even if this plugin is not used. All of these structures are completely randomized, except for task_struct which leaves out some of its members. All the other members are wrapped within an anonymous struct with the __randomize_layout attribute. This is done using the randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end defines. When the plugin is disabled, the behaviour of this attribute can vary based on the GCC version. For GCC 5.1+, this attribute maps to __designated_init otherwise it is just an empty define but the anonymous structure is still present. For other compilers, both randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end default to empty defines meaning the anonymous structure is not introduced at all. So, if a module compiled with Clang, such as a BPF program, needs to access task_struct fields such as pid and comm, the offsets of these members as recognized by Clang are different from those recognized by modules compiled with GCC. If GCC 4.6+ is used to build the kernel, this can be solved by introducing appropriate defines for Clang so that the anonymous structure is seen when determining the offsets for the members.

Prior to v4.11, x86 used warn_slowpath_fmt() for handling WARN()s. After WARN() was moved to using UD0 on x86, the warning text started appearing _before_ the "cut here" line. This appears to have been a long-standing bug on architectures that used __WARN_TAINT, but it didn't get fixed. v4.11 and earlier on x86: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2956 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:65 lkdtm_WARNING+0x21/0x30 This is a warning message Modules linked in: v4.12 and later on x86: This is a warning message ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2982 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:68 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20 Modules linked in: With this fix: ------------[ cut here ]------------ This is a warning message WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3009 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:67 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20 Since the __FILE__ reporting happens as part of the UD0 handler, it isn't trivial to move the message to after the WARNING line, but at least we can fix the position of the "cut here" line so all the various logging tools will start including the actual runtime warning message again, when they follow the instruction and "cut here".

When we pass the result of a multiplication as the timeout or the delay, we can get a warning from gcc-7: drivers/mmc/host/bcm2835.c:596:149: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c:247:195: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_hdmi_i2c.c:49:27: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] The warning is a bit questionable inside of a macro, but this is intentional on the side of the gcc developers. It is also an indication of another problem: we evaluate the timeout and sleep arguments multiple times, which can have undesired side-effects when those are complex expressions. This changes the two iopoll variants to use local variables for storing copies of the timeouts. This adds some more type safety, and avoids both the double-evaluation and the gcc warning.

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being coredumped at the moment. It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the process and getting a broken coredump. Writing a large core might take significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and killing/restarting hanging tasks. We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by timeout in the middle of the core writing process. We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests. Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable timeout (especially on an overloaded machine). This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full coredump file. To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in /proc/pid/status. Example: $ cat core.sh #!/bin/sh echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern sleep 1000 & PID=$! cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping kill -ABRT $PID sleep 1 cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping $ ./core.sh CoreDumping: 0 CoreDumping: 1 [guro@fb.com: document CoreDumping flag in /proc/<pid>/status] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928135357.GA8470@castle.DHCP.thefacebook.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170920230634.31572-1-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by:

Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the ignore_skip_hint flag. Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped. Therefore we can remove the special cases. The relevant pageblocks will be marked as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page could be isolated. This makes the code simpler.

Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA use case. Since 6815bf3f ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update* the skip hints in addition to ignoring them. Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit handling as the next step.

pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order. When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets. This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation. This includes THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check and not recognizing tail pages. While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can still expect that if a THP exists at the point of __reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent compaction run. The time difference here could be actually smaller than between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP, and the next compaction run that observes it.

It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation is occurring in this condition. It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks, and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned. It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

If compaction recently failed to isolate memory from a set of pageblocks, there is nothing to indicate that kcompactd will be able to do so, or that it is beneficial from attempting to isolate memory. Use the pageblock skip hint to avoid rescanning pageblocks needlessly until that information is reset.

dma-debug reports the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 298 at kernel-4.4/lib/dma-debug.c:604 debug _dma_assert_idle+0x1a8/0x230() DMA-API: cpu touching an active dma mapped cacheline [cln=0x00000882300] CPU: 3 PID: 298 Comm: vold Tainted: G W O 4.4.22+ #1 Hardware name: MT6739 (DT) Call trace: debug_dma_assert_idle+0x1a8/0x230 wp_page_copy.isra.96+0x118/0x520 do_wp_page+0x4fc/0x534 handle_mm_fault+0xd4c/0x1310 do_page_fault+0x1c8/0x394 do_mem_abort+0x50/0xec I found that debug_dma_alloc_coherent() and debug_dma_free_coherent() assume that dma_alloc_coherent() always returns a linear address. However it's possible that dma_alloc_coherent() returns a non-linear address. In this case, page_to_pfn(virt_to_page(virt)) will return an incorrect pfn. If the pfn is valid and mapped as a COW page, we will hit the warning when doing wp_page_copy(). Fix this by calculating pfn for linear and non-linear addresses.

There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact() called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies its contents. The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

The cleanup caused build warnings for constant mask pointers: mm/mempolicy.c: In function `mpol_to_str': ./include/linux/nodemask.h:108:11: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as `true' for the address of `nodes' will never be NULL [-Waddress] An earlier workaround I suggested was incorporated in the version that got merged, but that only solved the problem for gcc-7 and higher, while gcc-4.6 through gcc-6.x still warn. This changes the printing again to use inline functions that make it clear to the compiler that the line that does the NULL check has no idea whether the argument is a constant NULL.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams: "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a build success notification. The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged. - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This enables interoperability with environments that only implement the standardized methods. - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods. - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and SMART alarm threshold control. - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only. - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support dynamic unlock of the label area. - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

Pull rdma maintainership update from Doug Ledford: "Add Jason Gunthorpe as co-maintainer of the RDMA stack. The change is simply to add Jason Gunthorpe to the MAINTAINERS file for the RDMA stack (and update him in the .mailmap). Jason and I have talked offline, and Jason will be filing a ticket with the k.o helpdesk to get an account on k.o, and then we will likely move the rdma tree to an area where we can both access it and use a shared repo + individual topic branches + merged up for-next branch as the staging basis for each release. Timing here is nice because in the US we are headed into a holiday period whereas Jason will be around to keep the patch flow progressing (I guess Canadians do their equivalent to Thanksgiving in October, so he doesn't have an excuse to ignore email for the next week ;-))" [ .. and Konstantin already got Jason his kernel.org account between the pull request and this actual pull - Linus ] * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: RDMA: Add Jason Gunthorpe as a co-maintainer
