2018-02-01IB/hfi1: Optimize process_receive_ib()Sebastian Sanchez
The arguments for trace_hfi1_rcvhdr() get computed every time in the hot path regardless of the whether the trace is on or off. This is seen to be costly with a profile. The handling of fault inject isolates the verbs device for all packets regardless of the presence of a RHF_DC_ERR error. Fix the first by computing trace_hfi1_rcvhdr() arguments within the trace itself, so that when the trace is off, the argument data isn't computed. Fix the second by moving the error check to handle_eflags() when an RHF error occurs and by testing for RHF_DC_ERR before executing the reset of handle_eflags().

2018-02-01IB/hfi1: Remove unnecessary fecn and becn fieldsSebastian Sanchez
packet->fecn and packet->becn are calculated in the hot path and are never used. Remove these fields as they show to be costly in a profile. Also, remove initialization for becn and fecn in process_ecn() as they're unconditionally assigned in the function and ensure fecn and becn variables use a boolean type.

In hfi1_rc_rcv(), BTH is computed for all packets received. However, it's only used for packets received with opcodes RDMA_WRITE_LAST and SEND_LAST, and it is a costly operation. Compute BTH only in the RDMA_WRITE_LAST/SEND_LAST code path and let the compiler handle endianness conversion for bitwise operations.

2018-02-01IB/hfi1: Remove dependence on qp->s_hdrwordsMitko Haralanov
The s_hdrwords variable was used to indicate whether a packet was already built on a previous iteration of the send engine. This variable assumed the protection of the QP's RVT_S_BUSY flag, which was required since the the QP's s_lock was dropped just prior to the packet being queued on the one of the egress mechanisms. Support for multiple send engine instantiations require that the field not be used due to concurency issues. The ps.txreq signals the "already built" without the potential concurency issues. Fix by getting rid of all s_hdrword usage. A wrapper is added to test for the already built case that used to use s_hdrwords. What used to be stored in s_hdrwords is now in the txreq. The PBC is not counted, but is added in the pio/sdma code paths prior to posting the packet.

2018-02-01IB/hfi1: Re-order IRQ cleanup to address driver cleanup raceMichael J. Ruhl
The pci_request_irq() interfaces always adds the IRQF_SHARED bit to all IRQ requests. When the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ config flag, if the IRQF_SHARED bit is set, a call to the IRQ handler is made from the __free_irq() function. This is testing a race condition between the IRQ cleanup and an IRQ racing the cleanup. The HFI driver should be able to handle this race, but does not. This race can cause traces that start with this footprint: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) Call Trace: <hfi1 irq handler> ... __free_irq+0x1b3/0x2d0 free_irq+0x35/0x70 pci_free_irq+0x1c/0x30 clean_up_interrupts+0x53/0xf0 [hfi1] hfi1_start_cleanup+0x122/0x190 [hfi1] postinit_cleanup+0x1d/0x280 [hfi1] remove_one+0x233/0x250 [hfi1] pci_device_remove+0x39/0xc0 Export IRQ cleanup function so it can be called from other modules. Using the exported cleanup function: Re-order the driver cleanup code to clean up IRQ resources before other resources, eliminating the race. Re-order error path for init so that the race does not occur. Reduce severity on spurious error message for SDMA IRQs to info.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

Mostly small clean ups and fixes. The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced. If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to oops.

This turns out to be because we don't check for a data carrying request on the mq scheduler path, and since blk_phys_contig_segment() returns true for a non-data request, we decrement the initial segment count of 0 and end up with 0xffff in the unsigned short. There are a few issues here: 1) We should initialize the segment count for a discard to 1. 2) The discard merging is currently using the data limits for segments and sectors. Fix this up by having attempt_merge() correctly identify the request, and by initializing the segment count correctly for discards. This can only be triggered with mq-deadline on discard capable devices right now, which isn't a common configuration. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-02-01Merge branch 'KASAN-read_word_at_a_time'Linus Torvalds
Merge KASAN word-at-a-time fixups from Andrey Ryabinin. The word-at-a-time optimizations have caused headaches for KASAN, since the whole point is that we access byte streams in bigger chunks, and KASAN can be unhappy about the potential extra access at the end of the string. We used to have a horrible hack in dcache, and then people got complaints from the strscpy() case. This fixes it all up properly, by adding an explicit helper for the "access byte stream one word at a time" case. * emailed patches from Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>: fs: dcache: Revert "manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports" fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp() lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy() compiler.h: Add read_word_at_a_time() function. compiler.h, kasan: Avoid duplicating __read_once_size_nocheck()

kasan's reports" This reverts commit df4c0e36f1b1782b0611a77c52cc240e5c4752dd. It's no longer needed since dentry_string_cmp() now uses read_word_at_a_time() to avoid kasan's reports.

2018-02-01fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp()Andrey Ryabinin
dentry_string_cmp() performs the word-at-a-time reads from 'cs' and may read slightly more than it was requested in kmallac(). Normally this would make KASAN to report out-of-bounds access, but this was workarounded by commit df4c0e36f1b1 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports"). This workaround is not perfect, since it allows out-of-bounds access to dentry's name for all the code, not just in dentry_string_cmp(). So it would be better to use read_word_at_a_time() instead and revert commit df4c0e36f1b1.

2018-02-01lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()Andrey Ryabinin
strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may may access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the optimistic read won't cross a page boundary. Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN. Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow, stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes): char dst[8]; char *src; src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL); memset(src, 0xff, 5); strscpy(dst, src, 8); Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such cases. In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the first byte of access is validated.

There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added for various types of hardware busses: - siox - slimbus - soundwire as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor drivers. There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other smaller driver updates.

2018-02-01gfs2: Glock dump performance regression fixAndreas Gruenbacher
Restore an optimization removed in commit 7f19449553 "Fix debugfs glocks dump": keep the glock hash table iterator active while the glock dump file is held open. This avoids having to rescan the hash table from the start for each read, with quadratically rising runtime. In addition, use rhastable_walk_peek for resuming a glock dump at the current position: when a glock doesn't fit in the provided buffer anymore, the next read must revisit the same glock. Finally, also restart the dump from the first entry when we notice that the hash table has been resized in gfs2_glock_seq_start.

2018-02-01gfs2: Fix the crc32c dependencyAndreas Gruenbacher
Depend on LIBCRC32C which uses the crypto API to select the appropriate crc32c implementation. With the CRYPTO and CRYPTO_CRC32C dependencies, gfs2 would still need to use the crypto API directly like ext4 and btrfs do, which isn't necessary.

2018-02-01Documentation/process: kernel maintainer PGP guideKonstantin Ryabitsev
This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on the following topics: - how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer - how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG - when and how to use PGP with Git - how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation describing proper processes one should follow when participating in kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org, but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and processes evolve.
