2018-12-21alpha: generate uapi header and syscall table header filesFiroz Khan
System call table generation script must be run to gener- ate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by alpha/Makefile and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/systbls.S file.

2018-12-21alpha: add system call table generation supportFiroz Khan
The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures. The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by kernel/syscall.S - the real system call table. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution.

2018-12-21alpha: add __NR_syscalls along with NR_SYSCALLSFiroz Khan
NR_SYSCALLS macro holds the number of system call exist in alpha architecture. We have to change the value of NR- _SYSCALLS, if we add or delete a system call. One of the patch in this patch series has a script which will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file. The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system calls information. So we have two option to update NR_SY- CALLS value. 1. Update NR_SYSCALLS in asm/unistd.h manually by count- ing the no.of system calls. No need to update NR_SYS- CALLS until we either add a new system call or delete existing system call. 2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script, that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli- citly update NR_SYSCALLS in asm/unistd.h file. The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along with NR_SYSCALLS asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_syscalls also added for making the name convention same across all architecture. While __NR_syscalls isn't strictly part of the uapi, having it as part of the generated header to simplifies the implementation. We also need to enclose this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid side effects. Signed-off-by: Firoz Khan <firoz.khan@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>

It is correct to keep __IGNORE* entry in non uapi header asm/unistd.h while uapi/asm/unistd.h must hold information only useful for user space applications. One of the patch in this patch series will generate uapi header file. The information which directly used by the user space application must be present in uapi file.

2018-12-21LSM: hide struct security_mnt_opts from any generic codeAl Viro
Keep void * instead, allocate on demand (in parse_str_opts, at the moment). Eventually both selinux and smack will be better off with private structures with several strings in those, rather than this "counter and two pointers to dynamically allocated arrays" ugliness. This commit allows to do that at leisure, without disrupting anything outside of given module. Changes: * instead of struct security_mnt_opt use an opaque pointer initialized to NULL. * security_sb_eat_lsm_opts(), security_sb_parse_opts_str() and security_free_mnt_opts() take it as var argument (i.e. as void **); call sites are unchanged. * security_sb_set_mnt_opts() and security_sb_remount() take it by value (i.e. as void *). * new method: ->sb_free_mnt_opts(). Takes void *, does whatever freeing that needs to be done. * ->sb_set_mnt_opts() and ->sb_remount() might get NULL as mnt_opts argument, meaning "empty".

2018-12-21nfs_remount(): don't leak, don't ignore LSM options quietlyAl Viro
* if mount(2) passes something like "context=foo" with MS_REMOUNT in flags (/sbin/mount.nfs will _not_ do that - you need to issue the syscall manually), you'll get leaked copies for LSM options. The reason is that instead of nfs_{alloc,free}_parsed_mount_data() nfs_remount() uses kzalloc/kfree, which lacks the needed cleanup. * selinux options are not changed on remount (as for any other fs), but in case of NFS the failure is quiet - they are not compared to what we used to have, with complaint in case of attempted changes.

2018-12-21btrfs: sanitize security_mnt_opts useAl Viro
1) keeping a copy in btrfs_fs_info is completely pointless - we never use it for anything. Getting rid of that allows for simpler calling conventions for setup_security_options() (caller is responsible for freeing mnt_opts in all cases). 2) on remount we want to use ->sb_remount(), not ->sb_set_mnt_opts(), same as we would if not for FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA. Behaviours *are* close (in fact, selinux sb_set_mnt_opts() ought to punt to sb_remount() in "already initialized" case), but let's handle that uniformly. And the only reason why the original btrfs changes didn't go for security_sb_remount() in btrfs_remount() case is that it hadn't been exported. Let's export it for a while - it'll be going away soon anyway. Reviewed-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2018-12-21iomap: don't search past page end in iomap_is_partially_uptodateEric Sandeen
iomap_is_partially_uptodate() is intended to check wither blocks within the selected range of a not-uptodate page are uptodate; if the range we care about is up to date, it's an optimization. However, the iomap implementation continues to check all blocks up to from+count, which is beyond the page, and can even be well beyond the iop->uptodate bitmap. I think the worst that will happen is that we may eventually find a zero bit and return "not partially uptodate" when it would have otherwise returned true, and skip the optimization. Still, it's clearly an invalid memory access that must be fixed. So: fix this by limiting the search to within the page as is done in the non-iomap variant, block_is_partially_uptodate().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-XDP-100Mpps This series from Tariq, mainly adds the support of mlx5 Multi Packet WQE (TX descriptor) - ConnectX-5 and above - for XDP TX, which allows us to overcome the 70Mpps PCIe bottleneck of conventional TX queues (single TX descriptor per packet), and achieve the 100Mpps milestone with the MPWQE approach. In the first five patches, Tariq did minor improvements to mlx5 tx path, for better debug-ability and code structuring. Next two patches lay down the foundation for MPWQE implementation to store the in-flight XDP TX information for multiple packets of one descriptor (WQE). Next: Support Enhanced Multi-Packet TX WQE for XDP In this patch we add support for the HW feature, which is supported starting from ConnectX-5. Performance: Tested packet rate for UDP 64Byte multi-stream over ConnectX-5 NICs. CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz XDP_TX: We see a huge gain on single port ConnectX-5, and reach the 100 Mpps milestone. * Single-port HCA: Before: 70 Mpps After: 100 Mpps (+42.8%) * Dual-port HCA: Before: 51.7 Mpps After: 57.3 Mpps (+10.8%) * In both cases we tested traffic on one port and for now On Dual-port HCAs we see only a small gain, we are working to overcome this bottleneck, but for the moment only with experimental firmware on dual port HCAs we can reach the wanted numbers as seen on Single-port HCAs. XDP_REDIRECT: Redirect from (A) ConnectX-5 to (B) ConnectX-5. Due to a setup limitation, (A) and (B) are on different NUMA nodes, so absolute performance numbers are not optimal. - Note: Below is the transmit rate of (B), not the redirect rate of (A) which is in some cases higher. * (B) is single-port: Before: 77 Mpps After: 90 Mpps (+16.8%) * (B) is dual-port: Before: 61 Mpps After: 72 Mpps (+18%) Last patch adds a knob in mlx5 ethtool private flag to turn on/off XDP TX MPWQE. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
