Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but should also not cause too much overhead. When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this triggers. Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks. Using this_cpu_ops may cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may significantly impact allocator performance.

The RT_CACHE_STAT_INC macro triggers the new preemption checks for __this_cpu ops. I do not see any other synchronization that would allow the use of a __this_cpu operation here however in commit dbd2915c ("[IPV4]: RT_CACHE_STAT_INC() warning fix") Andrew justifies the use of raw_smp_processor_id() here because "we do not care" about races. In the past we agreed that the price of disabling interrupts here to get consistent counters would be too high. These counters may be inaccurate due to race conditions. The use of __this_cpu op improves the situation already from what commit dbd2915c did since the single instruction emitted on x86 does not allow the race to occur anymore. However, non x86 platforms could still experience a race here.

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization. The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional preemption checks for __this_cpu ops. So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

With the preempt checking logic for __this_cpu_ops we will get false positives from locations in the code that use numa_node_id. Before the __this_cpu ops where introduced there were no checks for preemption present either. smp_raw_processor_id() was used. See http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html Therefore we need to use raw_cpu_read here to avoid false postives. Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years. If the process changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then that is acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization and not for correctness. There were suggestions to implement a raw_numa_node_id in order to do preempt checks for numa_node_id as well. But I think we better defer that to another patch since that would mean investigating how numa_node_id() is used throughout the kernel which would increase the scope of this patchset significantly. After all preemption was never checked before when numa_node_id() was used.

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are consistently used throughout the kernel. The code generated in many places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of performing address calculations). The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with the per cpu macros. A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_ prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr() is used to raw_cpu_ptr(). B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the __this_cpu operations. C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations. D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing sequences of instructions by a single one. E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with per cpu local data. F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to further optimize code that relies on synchronization through per cpu data. The patch set works in a couple of stages: I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr(). Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86 code to raw_cpu_xx_#. II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give us false positives once they are enabled. III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions are used. IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied. V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code. VI. Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var). These should only be applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of the uses of these functions remain. This patch (of 46): The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations without preemption checks. raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the operations that do not implement any checks. Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to raw_cpu_xxxx. Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h. These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue). Signed-off-by:Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the following sysfs setup: X A -> X B -> X where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get: X X:M X:N A -> X B -> X A:M -> X:M A:N -> X:N Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is confusing. It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described above. This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root cache kobject to keep its children caches there. Signed-off-by:

Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0), kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this one: kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x49/0x5b kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0 kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0 kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0 xfs_mru_cache_uninit+0x21/0x30 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x2e/0xc44 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a memcg cache - the kernel will panic. This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps a reference to its parent. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after __kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to destroy the cache. As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already freed data). To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure. Signed-off-by:

Memcg-awareness turned kmem_cache_create() into a dirty interweaving of memcg-only and except-for-memcg calls. To clean this up, let's move the code responsible for memcg cache creation to a separate function. Signed-off-by:

Vladimir Davydov authored
This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows: - Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called from kmem_cache_create_memcg(). This allows us to get rid of the mutex protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex. - Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function serves as a proxy to kmem_cache_create_memcg(). After separating the cache name creation path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it. Signed-off-by:

When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply increment the refcount of the cache found and return it. Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it already exists. The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I guess we should avoid to merge their children too. So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches. Signed-off-by:

If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally. So HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this. Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP. The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT that signals if outb/int et al are available. I will address that at least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT. The changes in this commit were done using: $ git grep -l -E '(NO|HAS)_IOPORT' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/\b((?:CONFIG_)?(?:NO|HAS)_IOPORT)\b/$1_MAP/' Signed-off-by:

This macro appears to have been introduced back in the 2.5 era for semtimedop32 backward compatibility on ia32: https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/28/78 Nowadays, this syscall in compat just defaults back to the code found in sem.c, so it is no longer used and can thus be removed: long compat_sys_semtimedop(int semid, struct sembuf __user *tsems, unsigned nsops, const struct compat_timespec __user *timeout) { struct timespec __user *ts64; if (compat_convert_timespec(&ts64, timeout)) return -EFAULT; return sys_semtimedop(semid, tsems, nsops, ts64); } Furthermore, there are no users in compat.c.

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a value after BUG()). In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by rebooting).

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations. Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig. This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed. However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't typically get build-tested with those disabled. To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED (which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the symbols hidden behind those. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices. It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip or an eternal bridge, known as "mport"). Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have a single RapidIO controller. With introduction of devices using multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme is very limiting or does not work at all. The implemented changes allow to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide device details needed for upper layers. This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known existing kernel or user space interfaces. Signed-off-by:
