Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "The threadgroup locking changes which went in during 4.2 devel cycle added write locking of a percpu_rwsem in cgroup task migration path; unfortunately, that involved expedited rcu syncing which turned out to be too slow and heavy for certain workloads. The patchset which is dependent on this one didn't get committed during that devel cycle, so these two patches can be reverted safely. Oleg reworked percpu_rwsem for 4.4 so that the writer path is a lot lighter. The reported issue goes away with Oleg's reworked percpu_rwsem and I'll reapply these patches on the for-4.4 branch so that they can land together with Oleg's changes" * 'for-4.3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem" Revert "cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking" |

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is a rather large update post rc1 due to the final steps of
cleanups and API changes which had to wait for the preparatory patches
to hit your tree.
- Regression fixes for ARM GIC irqchips
- Regression fixes and lockdep anotations for renesas irq chips
- The leftovers of the cleanup and preparatory patches which have
been ignored by maintainers
- Final conversions of the newly merged users of obsolete APIs
- Final removal of obsolete APIs
- Final removal of ARM artifacts which had been introduced during the
conversion of ARM to the generic interrupt code.
- Final split of the irq_data into chip specific and common data to
reflect the needs of hierarchical irq domains.
- Treewide removal of the first argument of interrupt flow handlers,
i.e. the irq number, which is not used by the majority of handlers
and simple to retrieve from the other argument the irq descriptor.
- A few comment updates and build warning fixes"

sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)
Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU [1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side. The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by this system call are as follows: * Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so) - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/ - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/) - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org) - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/) - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf) - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189) Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu(). * Direct users of sys_membarrier - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198) Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect() side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for. To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads: Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu()) Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()) In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()". Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs: Thread A Thread B previous mem accesses previous mem accesses smp_mb() smp_mb() following mem accesses following mem accesses After the change, these pairs become: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they do (2). 1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() follow mem accesses prev mem accesses barrier() follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK, because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in ordering them with respect to its own accesses. 2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full smp_mb() by synchronize_sched(). * Benchmarks On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores) (one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy looping) 1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call. * User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are implied by the scheduler context switches. Results in liburcu: Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers: memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that, sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However, this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace period than signal and memory barrier schemes. Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries, and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application. An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock. This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic. [1] http://urcu.so membarrier(2) man page: MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2) NAME membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads SYNOPSIS #include <linux/membarrier.h> int membarrier(int cmd, int flags); DESCRIPTION The cmd argument is one of the following: MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of supported commands. MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that all running threads have passed through a state where all memory accesses to user-space addresses match program order between entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90 cesses running on the system. This command returns 0. The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions. All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb(): The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered): barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier() barrier() X X O smp_mb() X O O sys_membarrier() O O O RETURN VALUE On success, these system calls return zero.

sysctl: fix int -> unsigned long assignments in INT_MIN case
The following
if (val < 0)
*lvalp = (unsigned long)-val;
is incorrect because the compiler is free to assume -val to be positive
and use a sign-extend instruction for extending the bit pattern. This is
a problem if val == INT_MIN:
# echo -2147483648 >/proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level
# cat /proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level
-18446744071562067968
Cast to unsigned long before negation - that way we first sign-extend and
then negate an unsigned, which is well defined. With this:
# cat /proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level
-2147483648

kexec: export KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE to vmcoreinfo
In x86_64, since v2.6.26 the KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is changed to 512M, and
accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed to 0xffffffffa0000000. However,
in v3.12 Kees Cook introduced kaslr to randomise the location of kernel.
And the kernel text mapping addr space is enlarged from 512M to 1G. That
means now KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is variable, its value is 512M when kaslr
support is not compiled in and 1G when kaslr support is compiled in.
Accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed too to be:
#define MODULES_VADDR (__START_KERNEL_map + KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE)
So when kaslr is compiled in and enabled, the kernel text mapping addr
space and modules vaddr space need be adjusted. Otherwise makedumpfile
will collapse since the addr for some symbols is not correct.
Hence KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE need be exported to vmcoreinfo and got in
makedumpfile to help calculate MODULES_VADDR.

kexec: align crash_notes allocation to make it be inside one physical page
People reported that crash_notes in /proc/vmcore were corrupted and this cause crash kdump failure. With code debugging and log we got the root cause. This is because percpu variable crash_notes are allocated in 2 vmalloc pages. Currently percpu is based on vmalloc by default. Vmalloc can't guarantee 2 continuous vmalloc pages are also on 2 continuous physical pages. So when 1st kernel exports the starting address and size of crash_notes through sysfs like below: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes_size kdump kernel use them to get the content of crash_notes. However the 2nd part may not be in the next neighbouring physical page as we expected if crash_notes are allocated accross 2 vmalloc pages. That's why nhdr_ptr->n_namesz or nhdr_ptr->n_descsz could be very huge in update_note_header_size_elf64() and cause note header merging failure or some warnings. In this patch change to call __alloc_percpu() to passed in the align value by rounding crash_notes_size up to the nearest power of two. This makes sure the crash_notes is allocated inside one physical page since sizeof(note_buf_t) in all ARCHS is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. Meanwhile add a BUILD_BUG_ON to break compile if size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE since crash_notes definitely will be in 2 pages. That need be avoided, and need be reported if it's unavoidable.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueue
The UMH_WAIT_PROC handler runs in its own thread in order to make sure that waiting for the exec kernel thread completion won't block other usermodehelper queued jobs. On older workqueue implementations, worklets couldn't sleep without blocking the rest of the queue. But now the workqueue subsystem handles that. Khelper still had the older limitation due to its singlethread properties but we replaced it to system unbound workqueues. Those are affine to the current node and can block up to some number of instances. They are a good candidate to handle UMH_WAIT_PROC assuming that we have enough system unbound workers to handle lots of parallel usermodehelper jobs.

kmod: use system_unbound_wq instead of khelper
We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest affinity and this is partly why we use khelper. This workqueue has unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children. Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in: ordered and singlethread. There is really no need about ordering as all we do is creating kernel threads. This can be done concurrently. And singlethread is a useless limitation as well. The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs. The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current CPU. It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules. This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper requests.

kmod: bunch of internal functions renames
This patchset does a bunch of cleanups and converts khelper to use system unbound workqueues. The 3 first patches should be uncontroversial. The last 2 patches are debatable. Kmod creates kernel threads that perform userspace jobs and we want those to have a large affinity in order not to contend busy CPUs. This is (partly) why we use khelper which has a wide affinity that the kernel threads it create can inherit from. Now khelper is a dedicated workqueue that has singlethread properties which we aren't interested in. Hence those two debatable changes: _ We would like to use generic workqueues. System unbound workqueues are a very good candidate but they are not wide affine, only node affine. Now probably a node is enough to perform many parallel kmod jobs. _ We would like to remove the wait_for_helper kernel thread (UMH_WAIT_PROC handler) to use the workqueue. It means that if the workqueue blocks, and no other worker can take pending kmod request, we can be screwed. Now if we have 512 threads, this should be enough. This patch (of 5): Underscores on function names aren't much verbose to explain the purpose of a function. And kmod has interesting such flavours. Lets rename the following functions: * __call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_work * ____call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_async * wait_for_helper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_sync Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

ebpf: fix fd refcount leaks related to maps in bpf syscall
We may already have gotten a proper fd struct through fdget(), so
whenever we return at the end of an map operation, we need to call
fdput(). However, each map operation from syscall side first probes
CHECK_ATTR() to verify that unused fields in the bpf_attr union are
zero.
In case of malformed input, we return with error, but the lookup to
the map_fd was already performed at that time, so that we return
without an corresponding fdput(). Fix it by performing an fdget()
only right before bpf_map_get(). The fdget() invocation on maps in
the verifier is not affected.

cgroup: fix seq_show_option merge with legacy_name
When seq_show_option (commit a068acf2ee77: "fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping") was merged, it did not correctly collide with cgroup's addition of legacy_name (commit 3e1d2eed39d8: "cgroup: introduce cgroup_subsys->legacy_name") changes. This fixes the reported name.

libnvdimm for 4.3:
1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to
enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
arrive in a later kernel.
2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of
the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

Mostly this is just clean ups and micro optimizations.
The changes with more meat are:
o Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and process ids
o Two new markers for trace output latency were added
(10 and 100 msec latencies)
o Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time
I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future
work, and moved the adding of the timestamp around. One of my changes
caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change. Instead
of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression
as well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
changes that were made on top of it.

Pull audit update from Paul Moore: "This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history, consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes. The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable" functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the executable on disk. Prior to this, admins could only track an application by PID, which has some obvious limitations. Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few minor cleanups" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: fixup: audit: implement audit by executable audit: implement audit by executable audit: clean simple fsnotify implementation audit: use macros for unset inode and device values audit: make audit_del_rule() more robust audit: fix uninitialized variable in audit_add_rule() audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch parent references audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch references |
