Patch series "lib: Fix bitmap_cut() for overlaps, add test" This patch (of 2): Yury Norov reports that bitmap_cut() will not produce the right outcome if src and dst partially overlap, with src pointing at some location after dst, because the memmove() affects src before we store the bits that we need to keep, that is, the bits preceding the cut -- as long as we the beginning of the cut is not aligned to a long. Fix this by storing those bits before the memmove(). Note that this is just a theoretical concern so far, as the only user of this function, pipapo_drop() from the nftables set back-end implemented in net/netfilter/nft_set_pipapo.c, always supplies entirely overlapping src and dst. Fixes: 20927671 ("bitmap: Introduce bitmap_cut(): cut bits and shift remaining") Reported-by:

Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt the test itself is wrong. Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains. gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like [1][2][3]. Add this option so that developers and 0day can easily find performance bump caused by text alignment change, as tracking these strange bump is quite time consuming. Though it can't help in other cases like data alignment changes like [4].

Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in kernel pointer. Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads. Signed-off-by:

These accessors must be used to read/write a big-endian bus. The value returned or written is native-endian. However, these accessors are defined using be{16,32}_to_cpu() or cpu_to_be{16,32}() to make the endian conversion but these expect a __be{16,32} when none is present. Keeping them would need a force cast that would solve nothing at all. So, do the conversion using swab{16,32}, like done in asm-generic for similar situations.

Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do access user pointers. Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds where set_fs() does not exist. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Hellwig authored
Add helpers to wrap the get_fs/set_fs magic for undoing any damange done by set_fs(KERNEL_DS). There is no real functional benefit, but this documents the intent of these calls better, and will allow stubbing the functions out easily for kernels builds that do not allow address space overrides in the future.

Christoph Hellwig authored
Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2. In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers to force the kernel address limit. This patch (of 6): Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.
