Patch series "lib/interval_tree_test: some debugging improvements". Here are some patches that update the interval_tree_test module allowing users to pass finer grained options to run the actual test. This patch (of 4): It is a tristate after all, and also serves well for quick debugging. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170518174936.20265-2-dave@stgolabs.netSigned-off-by:

Commit 7dd96816 ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make good use of this optimisation.

Several callers have constant 'start' and an 'nbits' that is a multiple of 8, so we can turn them into calls to memset. We don't need the entirety of 'start' and 'nbits' to be constant, we just need to know whether they're divisible by 8.

Patch series "Bitmap optimisations", v2. These three bitmap patches use more efficient specialisations when the compiler can figure out that it's safe to do so. Thanks to Rasmus's eagle eyes, a nasty bug in v1 was avoided, and I've added a test case which would have caught it. This patch (of 4): This version of the test is actually a no-op; the next patch will enable it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170628153221.11322-2-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch 5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6). Patches 1 to 4 are prerequisites. Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of this patch series. Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2. Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of warnings when <linux/bug.h> was included by <linux/kernel.h>. That is no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz. Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on "include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch 5. Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including <linux/bug.h> in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures due to circular dependencies. Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has array type. 1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype 2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment 3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" 4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'" 5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h> 6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of() This patch (of 6): The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its parameters. This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not already declared. Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid the warnings.

For some unaligned memory accesses we have to check additional byte of the shadow memory. Currently we load that byte speculatively to have only single load + branch on the optimistic fast path. However, this approach has some downsides: - It's unaligned access, so this prevents porting KASAN on architectures which doesn't support unaligned accesses. - We have to map additional shadow page to prevent crash if speculative load happens near the end of the mapped memory. This would significantly complicate upcoming memory hotplug support. I wasn't able to notice any performance degradation with this patch. So these speculative loads is just a pain with no gain, let's remove them. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170601162338.23540-1-aryabinin@virtuozzo.comSigned-off-by:

Commit 40f9fb8c ("mm/zsmalloc: support allocating obj with size of ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE") fixes a size calculation error that prevented zsmalloc to allocate an object of the maximal size (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE). I think however the fix is unneededly complicated. This patch replaces the dynamic calculation of zs_size_classes at init time by a compile time calculation that uses the DIV_ROUND_UP() macro already used in get_size_class_index().

early_pfn_to_nid will return node 0 if both HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID and HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP are disabled. It seems we are safe now because all architectures which support NUMA define one of them (with an exception of alpha which however has CONFIG_NUMA marked as broken) so this works as expected. It can get silently and subtly broken too easily, though. Make sure we fail the compilation if NUMA is enabled and there is no proper implementation for this function. If that ever happens we know that either the specific configuration is invalid and the fix should either disable NUMA or enable one of the above configs.

Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the cpu hotplug lock. The reason is that memory hotplug takes the memory hotplug lock and then calls stop_machine() which calls get_online_cpus(). That's the reverse lock order to get_online_cpus(); get_online_mems(); in mm/slub_common.c The problem has been there forever. The reason why this was never reported is that the cpu hotplug locking had this homebrewn recursive reader writer semaphore construct which due to the recursion evaded the full lock dep coverage. The memory hotplug code copied that construct verbatim and therefor has similar issues. Three steps to fix this: 1) Convert the memory hotplug locking to a per cpu rwsem so the potential issues get reported proper by lockdep. 2) Lock the online cpus in mem_hotplug_begin() before taking the memory hotplug rwsem and use stop_machine_cpuslocked() in the page_alloc code to avoid recursive locking. 3) The cpu hotpluck locking in #2 causes a recursive locking of the cpu hotplug lock via __offline_pages() -> lru_add_drain_all(). Solve this by invoking lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170704093421.506836322@linutronix.deReported-by:

The rework of the cpu hotplug locking unearthed potential deadlocks with the memory hotplug locking code. The solution for these is to rework the memory hotplug locking code as well and take the cpu hotplug lock before the memory hotplug lock in mem_hotplug_begin(), but this will cause a recursive locking of the cpu hotplug lock when the memory hotplug code calls lru_add_drain_all(). Split out the inner workings of lru_add_drain_all() into lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() so this function can be invoked from the memory hotplug code with the cpu hotplug lock held.

expand_stack(vma) fails if address < stack_guard_gap even if there is no vma->vm_prev. I don't think this makes sense, and we didn't do this before the recent commit 1be7107f ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas"). We do not need a gap in this case, any address is fine as long as security_mmap_addr() doesn't object. This also simplifies the code, we know that address >= prev->vm_end and thus underflow is not possible. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170628175258.GA24881@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Commit 1be7107f ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma. This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on the other hand. Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is doing and handle it propely.
