2016-05-05Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: - a fix for the persistent memory 'struct page' driver. The implementation overlooked the fact that pages are allocated in 2MB units leading to -ENOMEM when establishing some configurations. It's tagged for -stable as the problem was introduced with the initial implementation in 4.5. - The new "error status translation" routine, introduced with the 4.6 updates to the nfit driver, missed a necessary path in acpi_nfit_ctl(). The end result is that we are falsely assuming commands complete successfully when the embedded status says otherwise. * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: nfit: fix translation of command status results libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing
2016-05-05byteswap: try to avoid __builtin_constant_p gcc bugArnd Bergmann
This is another attempt to avoid a regression in wwn_to_u64() after that started using get_unaligned_be64(), which in turn ran into a bug on gcc-4.9 through 6.1. The regression got introduced due to the combination of two separate workarounds (commits e3bde9568d99: "include/linux/unaligned: force inlining of byteswap operations" and ef3fb2422ffe: "scsi: fc: use get/put_unaligned64 for wwn access") that each try to sidestep distinct problems with gcc behavior (code growth and increased stack usage). Unfortunately after both have been applied, a more serious gcc bug has been uncovered, leading to incorrect object code that discards part of a function and causes undefined behavior. As part of this problem is how __builtin_constant_p gets evaluated on an argument passed by reference into an inline function, this avoids the use of __builtin_constant_p() for all architectures that set CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP. Most architectures do not set ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING, which means they probably do not suffer from the problem in the qla2xxx driver, but they might still run into it elsewhere. Both of the original workarounds were only merged in the 4.6 kernel, and the bug that is fixed by this patch should only appear if both are there, so we probably don't need to backport the fix. On the other hand, it works by simplifying the code path and should not have any negative effects.

Recently, we allow to save the stacktrace whose hashed value is 0. It causes the problem that stackdepot could return 0 even if in success. User of stackdepot cannot distinguish whether it is success or not so we need to solve this problem. In this patch, 1 bit are added to handle and make valid handle none 0 by setting this bit.

2016-05-05modpost: fix module autoloading for OF devices with generic compatible propertyPhilipp Zabel
Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible value fails. For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible "fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960". Since the driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table. This results in the device compatible "of:NvpuT<NULL>Cfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab79 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*". This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the wildcard and one with "C*" appended. $ modinfo coda | grep imx6q alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC* alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu Fixes: 2f632369ab79 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462203339-15340-1-git-send-email-p.zabel@pengutronix.de Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de> Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@osg.samsung.com> Cc: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Cc: Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd.simons@collabora.co.uk> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [4.5+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-05-05proc: prevent accessing /proc/<PID>/environ until it's readyMathias Krause
If /proc/<PID>/environ gets read before the envp[] array is fully set up in create_{aout,elf,elf_fdpic,flat}_tables(), we might end up trying to read more bytes than are actually written, as env_start will already be set but env_end will still be zero, making the range calculation underflow, allowing to read beyond the end of what has been written. Fix this as it is done for /proc/<PID>/cmdline by testing env_end for zero. It is, apparently, intentionally set last in create_*_tables(). This bug was found by the PaX size_overflow plugin that detected the arithmetic underflow of 'this_len = env_end - (env_start + src)' when env_end is still zero. The expected consequence is that userland trying to access /proc/<PID>/environ of a not yet fully set up process may get inconsistent data as we're in the middle of copying in the environment variables.

2016-05-05mm/zswap: provide unique zpool nameDan Streetman
Instead of using "zswap" as the name for all zpools created, add an atomic counter and use "zswap%x" with the counter number for each zpool created, to provide a unique name for each new zpool. As zsmalloc, one of the zpool implementations, requires/expects a unique name for each pool created, zswap should provide a unique name. The zsmalloc pool creation does not fail if a new pool with a conflicting name is created, unless CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT is enabled; in that case, zsmalloc pool creation fails with -ENOMEM. Then zswap will be unable to change its compressor parameter if its zpool is zsmalloc; it also will be unable to change its zpool parameter back to zsmalloc, if it has any existing old zpool using zsmalloc with page(s) in it. Attempts to change the parameters will result in failure to create the zpool. This changes zswap to provide a unique name for each zpool creation.

2016-05-05mm: thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabledAndrea Arcangeli
After the THP refcounting change, obtaining a compound pages from get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound page is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU. A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once for each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole compound page. So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single get_user_pages() invocation when it can map immediately the entire compound page to avoid a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and spurious atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by MMU notifier users). Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages() should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed to get_user_pages(). However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd" status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up to the caller of get_user_pages). So the fix just checks if there is not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and in turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is mapped in the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()). In such case the entire compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without additional get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head pages. In addition of being faster, not having to run other get_user_pages() calls also reduces the memory footprint of the secondary MMU fault in case the pmd split happened as result of memory pressure. Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with a failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting and not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page into the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of the pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out of sync and not working on the same memory at all times. Any other secondary MMU notifier manager (KVM is just one of the many MMU notifier users) will need the same information if it doesn't want to run a flood of get_user_pages_fast and it can support multiple granularity in the secondary MMU mappings, so I think it is justified to be exposed not just to KVM. The other option would be to move transparent_hugepage_adjust to mm/huge_memory.c but that currently has all kind of KVM data structures in it, so it's definitely not a cut-and-paste work, so I couldn't do a fix as cleaner as this one for 4.6.

2016-05-05mm, cma: prevent nr_isolated_* counters from going negativeHugh Dickins
/proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when should be none, or no delay when should delay. The bug in compaction was due to a recent mmotm patch, but much older instance of the bug was also noticed in isolate_migratepages_range() which is used for CMA and gigantic hugepage allocations. The bug is caused by putback_movable_pages() in an error path decrementing the isolated counters without them being previously incremented by acct_isolated(). Fix isolate_migratepages_range() by removing the error-path putback, thus reaching acct_isolated() with migratepages still isolated, and leaving putback to caller like most other places do.

2016-05-05mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initializationJason Baron
Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low. However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call. Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into the starting of the khugepaged thread. The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous initialization ordering is restored. I didn't restore the late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering. On an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

2016-05-05huge pagecache: mmap_sem is unlocked when truncation splits pmdHugh Dickins
zap_pmd_range()'s CONFIG_DEBUG_VM !rwsem_is_locked(&mmap_sem) BUG() will be invalid with huge pagecache, in whatever way it is implemented: truncation of a hugely-mapped file to an unhugely-aligned size would easily hit it. (Although anon THP could in principle apply khugepaged to private file mappings, which are not excluded by the MADV_HUGEPAGE restrictions, in practice there's a vm_ops check which excludes them, so it never hits this BUG() - there's no interface to "truncate" an anonymous mapping.) We could complicate the test, to check i_mmap_rwsem also when there's a vm_file; but my inclination was to make zap_pmd_range() more readable by simply deleting this check. A search has shown no report of the issue in the years since commit e0897d75f0b2 ("mm, thp: print useful information when mmap_sem is unlocked in zap_pmd_range") expanded it from VM_BUG_ON() - though I cannot point to what commit I would say then fixed the issue. But there are a couple of other patches now floating around, neither yet in the tree: let's agree to retain the check as a VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), as Matthew Wilcox has done; but subject to a vma_is_anonymous() check, as Kirill Shutemov has done. And let's get this in, without waiting for any particular huge pagecache implementation to reach the tree. Matthew said "We can reproduce this BUG() in the current Linus tree with DAX PMDs".

2016-05-05perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao
ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not match the symbols in kallsyms. To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load. Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe trace point.

2016-05-05perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with kallsyms on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao
So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the user expects when looking at the function disassembly with readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with perf. If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP. Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just place the probe from the GEP offset. Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.

2016-05-05writeback: Fix performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()Howard Cochran
Commit 947e9762a8dd ("writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use wb_domain aware operations") unintentionally changed this function's meaning from "are there more dirty pages than the background writeback threshold" to "are there more dirty pages than the writeback threshold". The background writeback threshold is typically half of the writeback threshold, so this had the effect of raising the number of dirty pages required to cause a writeback worker to perform background writeout. This can cause a very severe performance regression when a BDI uses BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT because balance_dirty_pages() and the writeback worker can now disagree on whether writeback should be initiated. For example, in a system having 1GB of RAM, a single spinning disk, and a "pass-through" FUSE filesystem mounted over the disk, application code mmapped a 128MB file on the disk and was randomly dirtying pages in that mapping. Because FUSE uses strictlimit and has a default max_ratio of only 1%, in balance_dirty_pages, thresh is ~200, bg_thresh is ~100, and the dirty_freerun_ceiling is the average of those, ~150. So, it pauses the dirtying processes when we have 151 dirty pages and wakes up a background writeback worker. But the worker tests the wrong threshold (200 instead of 100), so it does not initiate writeback and just returns. Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the few dirty pages that we have finally expire and we write them back for that reason. Then the whole process repeats, resulting in near-zero throughput through the FUSE BDI. The fix is to call the parameterized variant of wb_calc_thresh, so that the worker will do writeback if the bg_thresh is exceeded which was the behavior before the referenced commit.

2016-05-05dm mpath: eliminate use of spinlock in IO fast-pathsMike Snitzer
The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage. The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(), is leveraged in this commit. But all pointer writes are still protected by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the slow-path). The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io() And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless it also switches the path-group. This is done to avoid needing to take the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath(). But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().

2016-05-05block: make bio_inc_remaining() interface accessible againMike Snitzer
Commit 326e1dbb57 ("block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io") made bio_inc_remaining() private to bio.c because the only use-case that made sense was confined to the bio_chain() interface. Since that time DM thinp went on to use bio_chain() in its relatively complex implementation of async discard support. That implementation, even when converted over to use the new async __blkdev_issue_discard() interface, depends on deferred completion of the original discard bio -- which is most appropriately implemented using bio_inc_remaining(). DM thinp foolishly duplicated bio_inc_remaining(), local to dm-thin.c as __bio_inc_remaining(), so re-exporting bio_inc_remaining() allows us to put an end to that foolishness. All said, bio_inc_remaining() should really only be used in conjunction with bio_chain(). It isn't intended for generic bio reference counting.

2016-05-05block: reinstate early return of -EOPNOTSUPP from blkdev_issue_discardMike Snitzer
Commit 38f25255330 ("block: add __blkdev_issue_discard") incorrectly disallowed the early return of -EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support discard (or secure discard). This early return of -EOPNOTSUPP has always been part of blkdev_issue_discard() interface so there isn't a good reason to break that behaviour -- especially when it can be easily reinstated. The nuance of allowing early return of -EOPNOTSUPP vs disallowing late return of -EOPNOTSUPP is: if the overall device never advertised support for discards and one is issued to the device it is beneficial to inform the caller that discards are not supported via -EOPNOTSUPP. But if a device advertises discard support it means that at least a subset of the device does have discard support -- but it could be that discards issued to some regions of a stacked device will not be supported. In that case the late return of -EOPNOTSUPP must be disallowed.
