This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Current stacktrace only have the function for console output. page_owner
that will be introduced in following patch needs to print the output of
stacktrace into the buffer for our own output format so so new function,
snprint_stack_trace(), is needed.

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

GFP_USER, GFP_HIGHUSER and GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE are escalatedly confined
defined, also implied by their names:
GFP_USER = GFP_USER
GFP_USER + __GFP_HIGHMEM = GFP_HIGHUSER
GFP_USER + __GFP_HIGHMEM + __GFP_MOVABLE = GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
So just make GFP_HIGHUSER and GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE escalatedly defined to

It isn't supposed to stack, so turn it into a bit-field to save 4 bytes on
the task_struct.
Also, remove the memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account helpers - it is clearer to
set/clear the flag inline. Regarding the overwhelming comment to the
helpers, which is removed by this patch too, we already have a compact yet
accurate explanation in memcg_schedule_cache_create, no need in yet

Add a bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() function which works like
bitmap_find_next_zero_area() function except it allows an offset to be
specified when alignment is checked. This lets caller request a bit such
that its number plus the offset is aligned according to the mask.

Similarly to the anon memory counterpart, we can share the mapping's lock
ownership as the interval tree is not modified when doing doing the walk,
only the file page.

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

This series is a continuation of the conversion of the i_mmap_mutex to
rwsem, following what we have for the anon memory counterpart. With
Hugh's feedback from the first iteration.
Ultimately, the most obvious paths that require exclusive ownership of the
lock is when we modify the VMA interval tree, via
vma_interval_tree_insert() and vma_interval_tree_remove() families. Cases
such as unmapping, where the ptes content is changed but the tree remains
untouched should make it safe to share the i_mmap_rwsem.
As such, the code of course is straightforward, however the devil is very
much in the details. While its been tested on a number of workloads
without anything exploding, I would not be surprised if there are some
less documented/known assumptions about the lock that could suffer from
these changes. Or maybe I'm just missing something, but either way I
believe its at the point where it could use more eyes and hopefully some
time in linux-next.
Because the lock type conversion is the heart of this patchset,
its worth noting a few comparisons between mutex vs rwsem (xadd):
(i) Same size, no extra footprint.
(ii) Both have CONFIG_XXX_SPIN_ON_OWNER capabilities for
exclusive lock ownership.
(iii) Both can be slightly unfair wrt exclusive ownership, with
writer lock stealing properties, not necessarily respecting
FIFO order for granting the lock when contended.
(iv) Mutexes can be slightly faster than rwsems when
the lock is non-contended.
(v) Both suck at performance for debug (slowpaths), which
shouldn't matter anyway.
Sharing the lock is obviously beneficial, and sem writer ownership is
close enough to mutexes. The biggest winner of these changes is
migration.
As for concrete numbers, the following performance results are for a
4-socket 60-core IvyBridge-EX with 130Gb of RAM.
Both alltests and disk (xfs+ramdisk) workloads of aim7 suite do quite well
with this set, with a steady ~60% throughput (jpm) increase for alltests
and up to ~30% for disk for high amounts of concurrency. Lower counts of
workload users (< 100) does not show much difference at all, so at least
no regressions.

In addition, a 67.5% increase in successfully migrated NUMA pages, thus

The patch layout is simple but designed for bisection (in case reversion
is needed if the changes break upstream) and easier review:
o Patches 1-4 convert the i_mmap lock from mutex to rwsem.
o Patches 5-10 share the lock in specific paths, each patch
details the rationale behind why it should be safe.
This patchset has been tested with: postgres 9.4 (with brand new hugetlb
support), hugetlbfs test suite (all tests pass, in fact more tests pass
with these changes than with an upstream kernel), ltp, aim7 benchmarks,
memcached and iozone with the -B option for mmap'ing. *Untested* paths
are nommu, memory-failure, uprobes and xip.
This patch (of 8):
Various parts of the kernel acquire and release this mutex, so add
i_mmap_lock_write() and immap_unlock_write() helper functions that will
encapsulate this logic. The next patch will make use of these.

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.
CPU0 CPU1
show_interrupts()
desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
remove_from_radix_tree();
kfree(desc);
raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock);
/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.
The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.
For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.
Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.
Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.
Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"This time with:
- A new IOMMU-API call: iommu_map_sg() to map multiple non-contiguous
pages into an IO address space with only one API call. This allows
certain optimizations in the IOMMU driver.
- DMAR device hotplug in the Intel VT-d driver. It is now possible
to hotplug the IOMMU itself.
- A new IOMMU driver for the Rockchip ARM platform.
- Couple of cleanups and improvements in the OMAP IOMMU driver.
- Nesting support for the ARM-SMMU driver.
- Various other small cleanups and improvements.
Please note that this time some branches were also pulled into other
trees, like the DRI and the Tegra tree. The VT-d branch was also
pulled into tip/x86/apic.
Some patches for the AMD IOMMUv2 driver are not in the IOMMU tree but
were merged by Andrew (or finally ended up in the DRI tree)"

Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code.
For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero
page for an mm that is used by a KVM process. And an optimization,
pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full.

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups
A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the
current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the
future in this user namespace.
A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled.
- Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from
their parents.
- A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do
not allow checking the permissions at open time.
- Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map
for the user namespace is set.
This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace
level will never remove the ability to call setgroups
from a process that already has that ability.
A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by
creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling
setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled.
Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this
is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without
privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path
to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call
setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible
without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
<ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.
On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

Finally(!), make Linux support being an I2C slave. Most of the existing
infrastructure is reused. We mainly add i2c_slave_register/unregister()
calls which tells i2c bus drivers to activate the slave mode. Then, they
also get a callback to report slave events to.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This became a fairly large pull request. In addition to the usual
driver updates / fixes, there have been a high amount of cleanups in
ASoC area, as well as control API helpers and kernel documentations
fixes touching through the whole tree.
In the driver side, the biggest changes are the support for new Intel
SoC found on new x86 machines, and the updates of FireWire dice and
oxfw drivers.
Some remarkable items are below:
ALSA core:
- PCM mmap code cleanup, removal of arch-dependent codes
- PCM xrun injection support
- PCM hwptr tracepoint support
- Refactoring of snd_pcm_action(), simplification of PCM locking
- Robustified sequecner auto-load functionality
- New control API helpers and lots of cleanups along with them
- Lots of kerneldoc fixes and cleanups
USB-audio:
- The mixer resume code was largely rewritten, and the devices with
quirks are resumed properly.
- New hardware support: Focusrite Scarlett, Digidesign Mbox1,
Denon/Marantz DACs, Zoom R16/24
FireWire:
- DICE driver updates with better duplex and sync support, including
MIDI support
- New OXFW driver for Oxford Semiconductor FW970/971 chipset,
including the previous LaCie Speakers device. Fullduplex and MIDI
support included as well as DICE driver.
HD-audio:
- Refactoring the driver-caps quirk handling in snd-hda-intel
- More consistent control names representing the topology better
- Fixups: HP mute LED with ALC268 codec, Ideapad S210 built-in mic
fix, ASUS Z99He laptop EAPD
ASoC:
- Conversion of AC'97 drivers to use regmap, bringing us closer to
the removal of the ASoC level I/O code
- Clean up a lot of old drivers that were open coding things that
have subsequently been implemented in the core
- Some DAPM performance improvements
- Removal of the now seldom used CODEC mutex
- Lots of updates for the newer Intel SoC support, including support
for the DSP and some Cherrytrail and Braswell machine drivers
- Support for Samsung boards using rt5631 as the CODEC
- Removal of the obsolete AFEB9260 machine driver
- Driver support for the TI TS3A227E headset driver used in some
Chrombeooks
Others:
- ASIHPI driver update and cleanups
- Lots of dev_*() printk conversions
- Lots of trivial cleanups for the codes spotted by Coccinelle"

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
"Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18. Most of it is
related to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there
are other important things in there.
Highlights:
- OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices. Those
subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.
- CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device
tree
- Removal of the of_allnodes list. This used to be used to iterate
over all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary
because the same thing can be done by iterating over the list of
child pointers. Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and
avoids the possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from
the child lists.
- Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs. Needed by
kexec.
- More unittests
- Documentation and minor bug fixes"
