      lib: list_sort_test(): simplify and harden cleanup · 69412303
      Rasmus Villemoes authored
      There is no reason to maintain the list structure while freeing the
      debug elements.  Aside from the redundant pointer manipulations, it is
      also inefficient from a locality-of-reference viewpoint, since they are
      visited in a random order (wrt.  the order they were allocated).
      Furthermore, if we jumped to exit: after detecting list corruption, it
      is actually dangerous.
      
      So just free the elements in the order they were allocated, using the
      backing array elts.  Allocate that using kcalloc(), so that if
      allocation of one of the debug element fails, we just end up calling
      kfree(NULL) for the trailing elements.
      
      Minor details: Use sizeof(*elts) instead of sizeof(void *), and return
      err immediately when allocation of elts fails, to avoid introducing
      another label just before the final return statement.

      lib/glob.c: add CONFIG_GLOB_SELFTEST · 5f9be824
      George Spelvin authored
      This was useful during development, and is retained for future
      regression testing.
      
      GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
      section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
      in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
      module load.
      
      Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
      arrays.  Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read.  At least the
      tests are more compact.

      The name was changed to hlist_add_behind() to cause unconverted code to

      printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk() · 5874af20
      Jan Kara authored
      We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk()
      only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for
      other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and
      deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use
      down_trylock()).  However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to
      run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in
      can_use_console().
      
      We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in
      vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH
      it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock().
      
      We differ from (reverted) commit 939f04be in that we avoid calling
      console_unlock() from vprintk_emit() with lockdep enabled as that has
      unveiled quite some bugs leading to system freezes during boot (e.g.
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/30/242,
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/28/521).

      Some small cleanups to kernel/printk/printk.c.  None of them should

        - When CONFIG_PRINTK is defined, parenthesize the value of LOG_LINE_MAX.
        - When CONFIG_PRINTK is *not* defined, there is an extra LOG_LINE_MAX
          definition; delete it.
        - Pull an assignment out of a conditional expression in console_setup().
        - Use isdigit() in console_setup() rather than open coding it.
        - In update_console_cmdline(), drop a NUL-termination assignment;
          the strlcpy() call that precedes it guarantees it's not needed.

      printk: tweak do_syslog() to match comments · e97e1267
      Alex Elder authored
      In do_syslog() there's a path used by kmsg_poll() and kmsg_read() that
      only needs to know whether there's any data available to read (and not
      its size).  These callers only check for non-zero return.  As a
      shortcut, do_syslog() returns the difference between what has been
      logged and what has been "seen."
      
      The comments say that the "count of records" should be returned but it's
      not.  Instead it returns (log_next_idx - syslog_idx), which is a
      difference between buffer offsets--and the result could be negative.
      
      The behavior is the same (it'll be zero or not in the same cases), but
      the count of records is more meaningful and it matches what the comments
      say.  So change the code to return that.

      printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs · 23b2899f
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
      large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
      debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
      debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
      An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
      two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
      will vary widely depending on the system and environment.
      
      There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
      through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
      buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
      boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
      relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
      issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
      measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
      the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
      scenario.
      
      We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
      introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
      num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
      CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
      This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
      which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
      kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
      over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
      contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
      kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
      an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
      next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
      size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
      is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
      in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
      LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
      possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
      amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:
      
         ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB
      
      Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
      size would be 1024 KB.
      
      This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
      parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
      expected power of two value.

      printk: move power of 2 practice of ring buffer size to a helper · c0a318a3
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      In practice the power of 2 practice of the size of the kernel ring
      buffer remains purely historical but not a requirement, specially now
      that we have LOG_ALIGN and use it for both static and dynamic
      allocations.  It could have helped with implicit alignment back in the
      days given the even the dynamically sized ring buffer was guaranteed to
      be aligned so long as CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT was set to produce a
      __LOG_BUF_LEN which is architecture aligned, since log_buf_len=n would
      be allowed only if it was > __LOG_BUF_LEN and we always ended up
      rounding the log_buf_len=n to the next power of 2 with
      roundup_pow_of_two(), any multiple of 2 then should be also architecture
      aligned.  These assumptions of course relied heavily on
      CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT producing an aligned value but users can always
      change this.
      
      We now have precise alignment requirements set for the log buffer size
      for both static and dynamic allocations, but lets upkeep the old
      practice of using powers of 2 for its size to help with easy expected
      scalable values and the allocators for dynamic allocations.  We'll reuse
      this later so move this into a helper.

      printk: make dynamic kernel ring buffer alignment explicit · 70300177
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      We have to consider alignment for the ring buffer both for the default
      static size, and then also for when an dynamic allocation is made when
      the log_buf_len=n kernel parameter is passed to set the size
      specifically to a size larger than the default size set by the
      architecture through CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT.
      
      The default static kernel ring buffer can be aligned properly if
      architectures set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT properly, we provide ranges for
      the size though so even if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT has a sensible aligned
      value it can be reduced to a non aligned value.  Commit 6ebb017d
      ("printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI") by Andrew
      Lunn ensures the static buffer is always aligned and the decision of
      alignment is done by the compiler by using __alignof__(struct log).
      
      When log_buf_len=n is used we allocate the ring buffer dynamically.
      Dynamic allocation varies, for the early allocation called before
      setup_arch() memblock_virt_alloc() requests a page aligment and for the
      default kernel allocation memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic() requests no
      special alignment, which in turn ends up aligning the allocation to
      SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which is L1 cache aligned.
      
      Since we already have the required alignment for the kernel ring buffer
      though we can do better and request explicit alignment for LOG_ALIGN.
      This does that to be safe and make dynamic allocation alignment
      explicit.

      ./Makefile: tell gcc optimizer to never introduce new data races · 69102311
      Jiri Kosina authored
      We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
      caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
      into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
      was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.
      
      This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
      never gccs were used.  I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
      wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
      out it actually can.
      
      Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
       "More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
        conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
        that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
        loops are executed.  They also perform a simple check whether the
        store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
        variables.  A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
        example the following:
      
        $ cat cond_store.c
      
        int g_1 = 1;
      
        int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));
      
        int c = 4;
      
        int __attribute__ ((noinline))
        foo (void)
        {
          int l;
          for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
            if (g_1)
              return l;
            for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
              ;
          }
          return 2;
        }
      
        int main (int argc, char* argv[])
        {
          if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
            {
              int e = errno;
              error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);
            }
          foo ();
          __builtin_printf("OK\n");
          return 0;
        }
        /* EOF */
        $ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=0
        $ ./a.out
        OK
        $ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=1
        $ ./a.out
        Segmentation fault
      
        The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7.  Therefore
        I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
        also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2.  I
        have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
        failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
        and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"
      
      Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
      for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
      used.
      
      The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
      suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
      comment from our internal bugzilla:
      
       "I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
        It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
        gcc-4.3.4.
      
        The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
        called the following way:
      
        + vprintk_emit();
            + log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
               or
               log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
               cont_add(log, ...);
                + cont_flush(log, ...);
                    + log_store(log, ...);
                          + log_make_free_space(log, ...);
      
        If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
        modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
        variables:

        It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
        when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
        is decided.  It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
        and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"
      
      I believe that the best course of action is both
      
       - building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
         optimization turned off
       - persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases

      mm/zbud: change zbud_alloc size type to size_t · 99eef8e9
      Dan Streetman authored
      Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to
      size_t.
      
      Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud
      implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's
      limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use
      size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.

      zram: replace global tb_lock with fine grain lock · d2d5e762
      Weijie Yang authored
      Currently, we use a rwlock tb_lock to protect concurrent access to the
      whole zram meta table.  However, according to the actual access model,
      there is only a small chance for upper user to access the same
      table[index], so the current lock granularity is too big.
      
      The idea of optimization is to change the lock granularity from whole
      meta table to per table entry (table -> table[index]), so that we can
      protect concurrent access to the same table[index], meanwhile allow the
      maximum concurrency.
      
      With this in mind, several kinds of locks which could be used as a
      per-entry lock were tested and compared:
      
      Test environment:
      x86-64 Intel Core2 Q8400, system memory 4GB, Ubuntu 12.04,
      kernel v3.15.0-rc3 as base, zram with 4 max_comp_streams LZO.
      
      iozone test:
      iozone -t 4 -R -r 16K -s 200M -I +Z
      (1GB zram with ext4 filesystem, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)

      To enhance the possibility of access the same table[index] concurrently,
      set zram a small disksize(10MB) and let threads run with large loop
      count.
      
      fio test:

      All the optimization methods show a higher performance than the base,
      however, it is hard to say which method is the most appropriate.
      
      On the other hand, zram is mostly used on small embedded system, so we
      don't want to increase any memory footprint.
      
      This patch pick the bit_spinlock method, pack object size and page_flag
      into an unsigned long table.value, so as to not increase any memory
      overhead on both 32-bit and 64-bit system.
      
      On the third hand, even though different kinds of locks have different
      performances, we can ignore this difference, because: if zram is used as
      zram swapfile, the swap subsystem can prevent concurrent access to the
      same swapslot; if zram is used as zram-blk for set up filesystem on it,
      the upper filesystem and the page cache also prevent concurrent access
      of the same block mostly.  So we can ignore the different performances
      among locks.

      zram: use size_t instead of u16 · 023b409f
      Minchan Kim authored
      Some architectures (eg, hexagon and PowerPC) could use PAGE_SHIFT of 16
      or more.  In these cases u16 is not sufficiently large to represent a
      compressed page's size so use size_t.

      mm/highmem: make kmap cache coloring aware · 15de36a4
      Max Filippov authored
      User-visible effect:
       Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency
      (MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with
      aliasing data cache.  Without this fix such architectures can not use
      high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of
      physical memory is available).
      
      The problem:
       VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from
      aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different
      virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache.
      Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in
      different cache locations are said to have different colors.  L1 caching
      hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to
      software.  Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data
      corruption.
      
      What can be done:
       One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time
      page mapping changes color.  The other way is to always map physical
      page at a virtual address with the same color.  Low memory pages already
      have this property.  Giving architecture a way to control color of high
      memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias
      handling code.
      
      How this is done with this patch:
       Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
      mapping address of high pages according to their color.  Such
      architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page
      mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support
      highmem.
      
      This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by
      Leonid Yegoshin.

      mmu_notifier: add call_srcu and sync function for listener to delay call and sync · b972216e
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
      t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
      methods:
      
      1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module.  The
         funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput.  This method was rejected
         by several ker= nel maintainers.
      
      2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.
      
      The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
      cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
      That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
      the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
      Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
      mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
      itself.  As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
      to be done in a delayed fashion.
      
      This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
      mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
      th= at function with call_srcu.  In that function, the kernel module
      releases its object.  To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
      needs to call b= efore that a new function called
      mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
      unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.
      
      This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
      kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

      Charge reclaim and OOM currently use the charge batch variable, but
      batching is already disabled at that point.  To simplify the charge
