2016-03-17sscanf: implement basic character setsJessica Yu
Implement basic character sets for the '%[' conversion specifier. The '%[' conversion specifier matches a nonempty sequence of characters from the specified set of accepted (or with '^', rejected) characters between the brackets. The substring matched is to be made up of characters in (or not in) the set. This is useful for matching substrings that are delimited by something other than spaces. This implementation differs from its glibc counterpart in the following ways: (1) No support for character ranges (e.g., 'a-z' or '0-9') (2) The hyphen '-' is not a special character (3) The closing bracket ']' cannot be matched (4) No support (yet) for discarding matching input ('%*[') The bitmap code is largely based upon sample code which was provided by Rasmus. The motivation for adding character set support to sscanf originally stemmed from the kernel livepatching project. An ongoing patchset utilizes new livepatch Elf symbol and section names to store important metadata livepatch needs to properly apply its patches. Such metadata is stored in these section and symbol names as substrings delimited by periods '.' and commas ','. For example, a livepatch symbol name might look like this: .klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0 However, sscanf currently can only extract "substrings" delimited by whitespace using the "%s" specifier. Thus for the above symbol name, one cannot not use sscanf() to extract substrings "vmlinux" or "printk", for example. A number of discussions on the livepatch mailing list dealing with string parsing code for extracting these '.' and ',' delimited substrings eventually led to the conclusion that such code would be completely unnecessary if the kernel sscanf() supported character sets. Thus only a single sscanf() call would be necessary to extract these substrings. In addition, such an addition to sscanf() could benefit other areas of the kernel that might have a similar need in the future.

2016-03-17lib/bug.c: use common WARN helperJosh Poimboeuf
The traceoff_on_warning option doesn't have any effect on s390, powerpc, arm64, parisc, and sh because there are two different types of WARN implementations: 1) The above mentioned architectures treat WARN() as a special case of a BUG() exception. They handle warnings in report_bug() in lib/bug.c. 2) All other architectures just call warn_slowpath_*() directly. Their warnings are handled in warn_slowpath_common() in kernel/panic.c. Support traceoff_on_warning on all architectures and prevent any future divergence by using a single common function to emit the warning. Also remove the '()' from '%pS()', because the parentheses look funky: [ 45.607629] WARNING: at /root/warn_mod/warn_mod.c:17 .init_dummy+0x20/0x40 [warn_mod]() Reported-by: Chunyu Hu <chuhu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Tested-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Acked-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-03-17radix_tree: add support for multi-order entriesMatthew Wilcox
With huge pages, it is convenient to have the radix tree be able to return an entry that covers multiple indices. Previous attempts to deal with the problem have involved inserting N duplicate entries, which is a waste of memory and leads to problems trying to handle aliased tags, or probing the tree multiple times to find alternative entries which might cover the requested index. This approach inserts one canonical entry into the tree for a given range of indices, and may also insert other entries in order to ensure that lookups find the canonical entry. This solution only tolerates inserting powers of two that are greater than the fanout of the tree. If we wish to expand the radix tree's abilities to support large-ish pages that is less than the fanout at the penultimate level of the tree, then we would need to add one more step in lookup to ensure that any sibling nodes in the final level of the tree are dereferenced and we return the canonical entry that they reference.

2016-03-17lib/bug.c: make panic_on_warn available for all architecturesHeiko Carstens
Christian Borntraeger reported that panic_on_warn doesn't have any effect on s390. The panic_on_warn feature was introduced with 9e3961a09798 ("kernel: add panic_on_warn"). However it did care only for the case when WANT_WARN_ON_SLOWPATH is defined. This is turn is only the case for architectures which do not have an own __WARN_TAINT defined. Other architectures which do have __WARN_TAINT defined call report_bug() for warnings within lib/bug.c which does not call panic() in case panic_on_warn is set. Let's simply enable the panic_on_warn feature by adding the same code like it was added to warn_slowpath_common() in panic.c. This enables panic_on_warn also for arm64, parisc, powerpc, s390 and sh.

2016-03-17printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callersSergey Senozhatsky
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set `console_may_schedule' to 1, since 8d91f8b15361 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"). The rules are: -- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1 -- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0 However, console_trylock() callers (among them is printk()) do not always call printk() from atomic contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock(), so console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 for such processes. For !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, however, console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0. It's possible to drop explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() in vprintk_emit(), because console_unlock() and console_trylock() are now smart enough: a) console_unlock() does not cond_resched() when it's unsafe (console_trylock() takes care of that) b) console_unlock() does can_use_console() check.

2016-03-17printk: move can_use_console() out of console_trylock_for_printk()Sergey Senozhatsky
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (this functionality is present since 8d91f8b15361 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"). The rules are: -- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1 -- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0 printk() calls console_unlock() with preemption desabled, which basically can lead to RCU stalls, watchdog soft lockups, etc. if something is simultaneously calling printk() frequent enough (IOW, console_sem owner always has new data to send to console divers and can't leave console_unlock() for a long time). printk()->console_trylock() callers do not necessarily execute in atomic contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock(). console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (allow cond_resched() later in consoe_unlock()) when it's safe. This patch (of 3): vprintk_emit() disables preemption around console_trylock_for_printk() and console_unlock() calls for a strong reason -- can_use_console() check. The thing is that vprintl_emit() can be called on a CPU that is not fully brought up yet (!cpu_online()), which potentially can cause problems if console driver wants to access per-cpu data. A console driver can explicitly state that it's safe to call it from !online cpu by setting CON_ANYTIME bit in console ->flags. That's why for !cpu_online() can_use_console() iterates all the console to find out if there is a CON_ANYTIME console, otherwise console_unlock() must be avoided. can_use_console() ensures that console_unlock() call is safe in vprintk_emit() only; console_lock() and console_trylock() are not covered by this check. Even though call_console_drivers(), invoked from console_cont_flush() and console_unlock(), tests `!cpu_online() && CON_ANYTIME' for_each_console(), it may be too late, which can result in messages loss. Assume that we have 2 cpus -- CPU0 is online, CPU1 is !online, and no CON_ANYTIME consoles available. CPU0 online CPU1 !online console_trylock() ... console_unlock() console_cont_flush spin_lock logbuf_lock if (!cont.len) { spin_unlock logbuf_lock return } for (;;) { vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock spin_lock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk msg_print_text return console_idx = log_next() console_seq++ console_prev = msg->flags spin_unlock logbuf_lock call_console_drivers() for_each_console(con) { if (!cpu_online() && !(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME)) continue; } /* * no message printed, we lost it */ vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk return /* * go to the beginning of the loop, * find out there are new messages, * lose it */ } console_trylock()/console_lock() call on CPU1 may come from cpu notifiers registered on that CPU. Since notifiers are not getting unregistered when CPU is going DOWN, all of the notifiers receive notifications during CPU UP. For example, on my x86_64, I see around 50 notification sent from offline CPU to itself [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING hotplug_hrtick [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_main_cpu_notify [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING console_cpu_notify while doing echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online So grabbing the console_sem lock while CPU is !online is possible, in theory. This patch moves can_use_console() check out of console_trylock_for_printk(). Instead it calls it in console_unlock(), so now console_lock()/console_unlock() are also 'protected' by can_use_console(). This also means that console_trylock_for_printk() is not really needed anymore and can be removed.

2016-03-17bug: set warn variable before calling WARN()Steven Rostedt
This has hit me a couple of times already. I would be debugging code and the system would simply hang and then reboot. Finally, I found that the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends. The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as: static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned; int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition); if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once)) if (WARN_ON(!__warned)) __warned = true; unlikely(__ret_warn_once); Which looks great and all. But what I have hit, is an issue when WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code. Because, the variable __warned is not yet set. Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that triggers the warning again. It keeps doing this until the stack is overflowed and the system crashes. By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.

2016-03-17proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fixDave Young
On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore(): tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen); That is, the types being used is like below on i686: m->offset: unsigned long long int m->size: unsigned long long int *fpos: loff_t (long long int) buflen: size_t (unsigned int) So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a given value by 4GB. Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result. Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen. Then the real size passed down is not correct any more. If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below bugs: 1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails. 2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range(). Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not truncated.

This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.
