As described in the title, this patch fixes <ipc>id_ds inconsistency when <ipc>ctl_stat executes concurrently with some ds-changing function, e.g. shmat, msgsnd or whatever. For instance, if shmctl(IPC_STAT) is running concurrently with shmat, following data structure can be returned: {... shm_lpid = 0, shm_nattch = 1, ...} Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171202153456.6514-1-philippe.mikoyan@skat.systemsSigned-off-by: Philippe Mikoyan <philippe.mikoyan@skat.systems> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for ABI for returns_nonnull checks. While we can update our code to conform the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in the whole kernel. And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel. So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in future. So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

UBSAN=y fails to build with new GCC/clang: arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: In function `sanitize_boot_params': arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h:37: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1' because Clang and GCC 8 slightly changed ABI for 'type mismatch' errors. Compiler now uses new __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1() function with slightly modified 'struct type_mismatch_data'. Let's add new 'struct type_mismatch_data_common' which is independent from compiler's layout of 'struct type_mismatch_data'. And make __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch[_v1]() functions transform compiler-dependent type mismatch data to our internal representation. This way, we can support both old and new compilers with minimal amount of change.

Currently KCOV_ENABLE does not check if the current task is already associated with another kcov descriptor. As the result it is possible to associate a single task with more than one kcov descriptor, which later leads to a memory leak of the old descriptor. This relation is really meant to be one-to-one (task has only one back link). Extend validation to detect such misuse.

Arnd Bergmann authored
getnstimeofday() is deprecated, so I'm converting this to use ktime_get_real_ts64() as a safe replacement. I considered using ktime_get_real() instead, but since the algorithm here depends on the exact timing, I decided to introduce fewer changes and leave the code that determines the nanoseconds since the last seconds wrap untouched. It's not entirely clear to me whether we should also change the time base to CLOCK_BOOTTIME or CLOCK_TAI. With boottime, we would be independent of changes due to settimeofday() and only see the speed adjustment from the upstream clock source, with the downside of having the signal be at an arbirary offset from the start of the UTC second signal. With CLOCK_TAI, we would use the same offset from the UTC second as before and still suffer from settimeofday() adjustments, but would be less confused during leap seconds. Both boottime and tai only offer usable (i.e. avoiding ktime_t to timespec64 conversion) interfaces for ktime_t though, so either way, changing it wouldn't take significantly more work. CLOCK_MONOTONIC could be used with ktime_get_ts64(), but would lose synchronization across a suspend/resume cycle, which seems worse.

Arnd Bergmann authored
The superblock and segment timestamps are used only internally in nilfs2 and can be read out using sysfs. Since we are using the old 'get_seconds()' interface and store the data as timestamps, the behavior differs slightly between 64-bit and 32-bit kernels, the latter will show incorrect timestamps after 2038 in sysfs, and presumably fail completely in 2106 as comparisons go wrong. This changes nilfs2 to use time64_t with ktime_get_real_seconds() to handle timestamps, making the behavior consistent and correct on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. The on-disk format already uses 64-bit timestamps, so nothing changes there.

DEVICE_ATTR is a declaration macro that has a few alternate and preferred forms like DEVICE_ATTR_RW, DEVICE_ATTR_RO, and DEVICE_ATTR. As well, many uses of DEVICE_ATTR could use the preferred forms when the show or store functions are also named in a regular form. Suggest the preferred forms when appropriate. Also emit a permissions warning if the the permissions are not the typical 0644, 0444, or 0200.

test_sort.c performs array-based and linked list sort test. Code allows to compile either as a loadable modules or builtin into the kernel. Current code is not allow to unload the test_sort.ko module after successful completion. This patch adds support to unload the "test_sort.ko" module by adding module_exit support. Previous patch was implemented auto unload support by returning -EAGAIN from module_init() function on successful case, but this approach is not ideal. The auto-unload might seem like a nice optimization, but it encourages inconsistent behaviour. And behaviour that is different from all other normal modules.

No need to get into the submenu to disable all related config entries. This makes it easier to disable all RUNTIME_TESTS config options without entering the submenu. It will also enable one to see that en/dis-abled state from the outside menu. This is only intended to change menuconfig UI, not change the config dependencies.

We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and(). It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs, lookup the rhs to see if it's set there). Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built join). Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit` module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below). For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1]. No impact on memory usage. Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3]. [1] Approximate benchmark code: ``` unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1}; unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2}; for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) { for (int n = -1; n <= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) { asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p)); unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p); asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result)); } } ``` Results: pattern1 pattern2 time_before/time_after 0x0000ffff 0x0000ffff 1.65 0x0000ffff 0x00005555 2.24 0x0000ffff 0x00001111 2.94 0x0000ffff 0x00000000 14.0 0x00005555 0x0000ffff 1.67 0x00005555 0x00005555 1.71 0x00005555 0x00001111 1.90 0x00005555 0x00000000 6.58 0x00001111 0x0000ffff 1.46 0x00001111 0x00005555 1.49 0x00001111 0x00001111 1.45 0x00001111 0x00000000 3.10 0x00000000 0x0000ffff 1.18 0x00000000 0x00005555 1.18 0x00000000 0x00001111 1.17 0x00000000 0x00000000 1.25 ----------------------------- geo.mean 2.06 [2] test_find_next_bit, X86 (skylake) [ 3913.477422] Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap [ 3913.477847] find_next_bit: 160868 cycles, 16484 iterations [ 3913.477933] find_next_zero_bit: 169542 cycles, 16285 iterations [ 3913.478036] find_last_bit: 201638 cycles, 16483 iterations [ 3913.480214] find_first_bit: 4353244 cycles, 16484 iterations [ 3913.480216] Start testing find_next_and_bit() with random-filled bitmap [ 3913.481074] find_next_and_bit: 89604 cycles, 8216 iterations [ 3913.481075] Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap [ 3913.481078] find_next_bit: 2536 cycles, 66 iterations [ 3913.481252] find_next_zero_bit: 344404 cycles, 32703 iterations [ 3913.481255] find_last_bit: 2006 cycles, 66 iterations [ 3913.481265] find_first_bit: 17488 cycles, 66 iterations [ 3913.481266] Start testing find_next_and_bit() with sparse bitmap [ 3913.481272] find_next_and_bit: 764 cycles, 1 iterations [3] test_find_next_bit, arm (v7 odroid XU3).

As suggested in review comments: * printk: align numbers using whitespaces instead of tabs; * return error value from init() to avoid calling rmmod if testing again; * use ktime_get instead of get_cycles as some arches don't support it; The output in dmesg (on QEMU arm64): [ 38.823430] Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap [ 38.845358] find_next_bit: 20138448 ns, 163968 iterations [ 38.856217] find_next_zero_bit: 10615328 ns, 163713 iterations [ 38.863564] find_last_bit: 7111888 ns, 163967 iterations [ 40.944796] find_first_bit: 2081007216 ns, 163968 iterations [ 40.944975] [ 40.944975] Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap [ 40.945268] find_next_bit: 73216 ns, 656 iterations [ 40.967858] find_next_zero_bit: 22461008 ns, 327025 iterations [ 40.968047] find_last_bit: 62320 ns, 656 iterations [ 40.978060] find_first_bit: 9889360 ns, 656 iterations Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171124143040.a44jvhmnaiyedg2i@yury-thinkpadSigned-off-by: Yury Norov <ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Clement Courbet <courbet@google.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
