Davidlohr Bueso 9607a85b67 rwsem: check counter to avoid cmpxchg calls
This patch tries to reduce the amount of cmpxchg calls in the writer
failed path by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction.  If ->count is not set to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS then there is
no point wasting a cmpxchg call.

Furthermore, Michel states "I suppose it helps due to the case where
someone else steals the lock while we're trying to acquire
sem->wait_lock."

Two very different workloads and machines were used to see how this
patch improves throughput: pgbench on a quad-core laptop and aim7 on a
large 8 socket box with 80 cores.

Some results comparing Michel's fast-path write lock stealing
(tps-rwsem) on a quad-core laptop running pgbench:

Michel Lespinasse 25c3932596 rwsem: do not block readers at head of queue if other readers are active
This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
active readers and no queued waiters.

In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
complete.

Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

Michel Lespinasse fe6e674c61 rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath
When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers.  But in
order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
readers at the head of the queue.  This might take a while if there are
many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
lock while we're counting.  To that end, we grant the first reader lock
before counting how many more readers are queued.

We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.

RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock.  This doesn't make
sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.

Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
available.  We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
wake up additional readers.  So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
hold any read lock.

Michel Lespinasse 8cf5322ce6 rwsem: simplify __rwsem_do_wake
This is mostly for cleanup value:

- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
  waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
  similar code).

- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
  so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
  to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

Michel Lespinasse ed00f64346 rwsem: more agressive lock stealing in rwsem_down_write_failed
Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
lock stealing:

- When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
  (and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
  the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
  to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.

- In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
  is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
  protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
  they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
  (rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
  of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
  rwsem-spinlock.

Michel Lespinasse 023fe4f712 rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failed
When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
wait_list when they succeed.

As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():

- We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
  remove writers from the wait_list

- There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
  as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
  that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.

- We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
  is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
  like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
  exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
  still running - wait_lock protects against that.

When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS
adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to
worry about waking them back after canceling this adjustment in
rwsem_down_read_failed().

We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
sections in rwsem_down_failed_common():

  the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock.

- The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately
  before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect
  the entire function.

Stephen Boyd 446f24d119 Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

Tejun Heo 196779b9b4 dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture.  show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack().  On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.

The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().

There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions.  It leads to unnecessary subtle information.

This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin.  Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.

Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information.  This is used
in blackfin.

This patch brings the following behavior changes.

* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
  printed.  This is because the top frame was determined in
  dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
  reliably.  It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
  sure whether that'd be necessary.

* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack().  They do
  now.

An example WARN dump follows.

  ...

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
    folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack().  This loses %ksp
    from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
    enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.

    dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
    lib/dump_stack.c.  Because linkage is per objecct file,
    dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
    dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
    - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
    as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too.  v1
    The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.  The build
    breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

Pull fixup for trivial branch from Jiri Kosina:
 "Unfortunately I made a mistake when merging into for-linus branch, and
  omitted one pre-requisity patch for a few other patches (which have
  been Acked by the appropriate maintainers) in the series.  Mea culpa
  maxima, sorry for that."

The trivial branch added %pSR usage before actually teaching vsnprintf()
about the 'R' part of %pSR.  The 'R' causes the symbol translation to do
a "__builtin_extract_return_addr()" before symbol lookup.

That said, on most architectures __builtin_extract_return_addr() isn't
likely to do anything special, so it probably is not normally
noticeable.

Joe Perches b0d33c2bd7 vsprintf: Add extension %pSR - print_symbol replacement
print_symbol takes a long and converts it to a function
name and offset.  %pS does something similar, but doesn't
translate the address via __builtin_extract_return_addr.
%pSR does the translation.

This will enable replacing multiple calls like
	printk(...);
	printk_symbol(addr);
	printk("\n");
with a single non-interleavable in dmesg
	printk("... %pSR\n", (void *)addr);

Jeff Layton 3e6628c4b3 idr: introduce idr_alloc_cyclic()
As Tejun points out, there are several users of the IDR facility that
attempt to use it in a cyclic fashion.  These users are likely to see
-ENOSPC errors after the counter wraps one or more times however.

This patchset adds a new idr_alloc_cyclic routine and converts several
of these users to it.  Many of these users are in obscure parts of the
kernel, and I don't have a good way to test some of them.  The change is
pretty straightforward though, so hopefully it won't be an issue.

There is one other cyclic user of idr_alloc that I didn't touch in
ipc/util.c.  That one is doing some strange stuff that I didn't quite
understand, but it looks like it should probably be converted later
somehow.

This patch:

Thus spake Tejun Heo:

    Ooh, BTW, the cyclic allocation is broken.  It's prone to -ENOSPC
    after the first wraparound.  There are several cyclic users in the
    kernel and I think it probably would be best to implement cyclic
    support in idr.

This patch does that by adding new idr_alloc_cyclic function that such
users in the kernel can use.  With this, there's no need for a caller to
keep track of the last value used as that's now tracked internally.  This
should prevent the ENOSPC problems that can hit when the "last allocated"
counter exceeds INT_MAX.

Later patches will convert existing cyclic users to the new interface.

Oleg Nesterov 095d141b2e argv_split(): teach it to handle mutable strings
argv_split() allocates argv[count_argc(str)] array and assumes that it
will find the same number of arguments later.  This is obviously wrong if
this string can be changed, say, by sysctl.

With this patch argv_split() kstrndup's the whole string and does not
split it, we simply replace the spaces with zeroes and keep the allocated
memory in argv[-1] for argv_free(arg).

We do not use argv[0] because:

	- str can be all-spaces or empty. In fact this case is fine,
	  we could kfree() it before return, but:

	- str can have a space at the start, and we can not rely on
	  kstrndup(skip_spaces(str)) because it can equally race if
	  this string is mutable.

Also, simplify count_argc() and kill the no longer used skip_arg().

Philipp Zabel 9375db07ad genalloc: add devres support, allow to find a managed pool by device
This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c:
devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool.

devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps
track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to
automatically destroy it after device removal.

dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was
created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find.

of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and
property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a
platform device node.  The corresponding platform device is then fed into
dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

David Rientjes 4b59e6c473 mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts
On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
  for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle.  This
  is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
  various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
  in many places.)

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
  but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
  interfaces."

I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

Yinghai Lu c729de8fce x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.

We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y.  This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled.  Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.

Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.

For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.

-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.
-v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa.
     also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt
-v5: update changelog according to Vivek.
-v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.

Linus Torvalds a49b7e82ca kobject: fix kset_find_obj() race with concurrent last kobject_put()
Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
and re-loading.  To quote Anatol:

 "This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
  kobject_put().  kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
  equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
  thread.

  Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
  an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
  the same kobject:

    THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj())     THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
    splin_lock()
                                         atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
                                         ... starts kobject cleanup ....
                                         spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
    iterate over kset->list
    atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
    spin_unlock()
                                         spin_lock() // taken
                                         // it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
                                         remove obj from list
                                         spin_unlock()
                                         vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj

    // kobj points to freed memory area!!
    kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!

  The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
  when somebody unloads module.  The module.c code was introduced in
  commit 6494a93d55fa"

Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
refcount has already dropped to zero.

See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().

[ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
  unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
  module mutex.  That may require further thought, but this is the
  correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

Imre Deak 2db76d7c3c lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages
The i915 driver uses sg lists for memory without backing 'struct page'
pages, similarly to other IO memory regions, setting only the DMA
address for these. It does this, so that it can program the HW MMU
tables in a uniform way both for sg lists with and without backing pages.

Without a valid page pointer we can't call nth_page to get the current
page in __sg_page_iter_next, so add a helper that relevant users can
call separately. Also add a helper to get the DMA address of the current
page (idea from Daniel).

Convert all places in i915, to use the new API.
