This series unduplicates the code used to find the member in an array
closest to 'x'.
The first patch adds a macro implementing the algorithm in two flavors -
for arrays sorted in ascending and descending order. The second updates
Documentation/CodingStyle on the naming convention for local variables in
macros resembling functions. Other three patches replace duplicated code
with calls to one of these macros in some hwmon drivers.
This patch (of 5):
Searching for the member of an array closest to 'x' is duplicated in
several places.
Add a new include - util_macros.h - and two macros that implement this
algorithm for arrays sorted both in ascending and descending order.
Uses linear search.

This patchset does rework to find_bit function family to achieve better
performance, and decrease size of text. All rework is done in patch 1.
Patches 2 and 3 are about code moving and renaming.
It was boot-tested on x86_64 and MIPS (big-endian) machines.
Performance tests were ran on userspace with code like this:
/* addr[] is filled from /dev/urandom */
start = clock();
while (ret < nbits)
ret = find_next_bit(addr, nbits, ret + 1);
end = clock();
printf("%ld\t", (unsigned long) end - start);
On Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz measurements are: (for
find_next_bit, nbits is 8M, for find_first_bit - 80K)
find_next_bit: find_first_bit:

find_next_bit performance gain is 35-40%;
find_first_bit - no measurable difference.
On ARM machine, there is arch-specific implementation for find_bit.
Thanks a lot to George Spelvin and Rasmus Villemoes for hints and
helpful discussions.
This patch (of 3):
New implementations takes less space in source file (see diffstat) and in
object. For me it's 710 vs 453 bytes of text. It also shows better
performance.
find_last_bit description fixed due to obvious typo.

This reverts commit 6685ac62b2f0 ("mmc: core: Convert mmc_driver to
device_driver")
The reverted commit went too far in simplifing the device driver parts
for mmc.
Let's restore the old mmc_driver to enable driver core to sooner
or later to remove the ->probe(), ->remove() and ->shutdown() callbacks
from the struct device_driver.
Note that, the old ->suspend|resume() callbacks in the struct
mmc_driver don't need to be restored, since the mmc block layer has
converted to the modern system PM ops.

Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet
interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by
lockstat, with something of the order of 21M contentions out of
27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock.
This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc
model, where the iommu_table has multiple pools, each stretching
over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool.
This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search.
This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure.

linux/bitmap.h: improve BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK
MAINTAINERS: CREDITS: remove Stefano Brivio from B43
.mailmap: add Ricardo Ribalda
CREDITS: add Ricardo Ribalda Delgado
...
|
|
The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional,
which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes
saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL). As a small
bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly
once.
In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed
to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just
do the simple mask. It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an
architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6
bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression,
gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start %
BITS_PER_LONG. So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with
BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK.

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its
current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must
know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and
string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a
large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and
that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf).
So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like:
Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination
buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst
it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination.
It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to
append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences,
otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause
printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever
they previously contained.
This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used
to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem();
since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would
happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and
then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops.
In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for
getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We
also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref)
if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for
kasprintf("%pE") to work.
In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics.
Someone should definitely double-check this.
In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it
should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a
graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds
orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling
/sbin/reboot.
This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on
platforms that do not use ACPI.
orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace
to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may imminently
catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an immediate
reboot without involving userspace.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion
policy is simple as follows.
for each size class {
while {
src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!src_page)
break;
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL
if (!dst_page)
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!dst_page)
break;
migrate(from src_page, to dst_page);
}
}
For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated
to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a
zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list
but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie,
OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check
whether the object is allocated easily.
This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user
access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot
move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and
new object.

[v1]
Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is
first read from and then written to.
A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080)
[v2]
Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the
sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we
are then fixing another bug where: A user could start
writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.
This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.
We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX
patch will follow)
This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.
We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because
1 - The name ;-)
2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious
audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP
users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current
DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that
expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver.
Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we
Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to:
check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.
No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to
change pte permissions anyway.

All occurrences of mempools based on slab caches with object constructors
have been removed from the tree, so disallow creating them.
We can only dereference mem->ctor in mm/mempool.c without including
mm/slab.h in include/linux/mempool.h. So simply note the restriction,
just like the comment restricting usage of __GFP_ZERO, and warn on kernels
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM() if such a mempool is allocated from.
We don't want to incur this check on every element allocation, so use
VM_BUG_ON().

Make 'min_size=<value>' be an option when mounting a hugetlbfs. This
option takes the same value as the 'size' option. min_size can be
specified without specifying size. If both are specified, min_size must
be less that or equal to size else the mount will fail. If min_size is
specified, then at mount time an attempt is made to reserve min_size
pages. If the reservation fails, the mount fails. At umount time, the
reserved pages are released.

hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed. Even if
the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size
at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use. As
a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages.
Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance
reasons. hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work
well to manage access to a pool of huge pages. However, the application
would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to
a lack of huge pages. At application startup time, the application would
like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages. Before
starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages
exist in the system global pools. However, there are no guarantees that
those pages will be available when needed by the application. What the
application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages.
Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the
specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem. At
mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use
of the filesystem. If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the
mount will fail. As pages are allocated to and freeed from the
filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified
minimum is maintained.
This patch (of 4):
Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of
huge pages to always be used by this subpool. This minimum count includes
allocated pages as well as reserved pages. If the minimum number of pages
for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this
minimum. An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of
pages reserved to meet this minimum size. The hstate pointer in the
subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.

Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from
compaction, but not from other types of migration. The POSIX real time
extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page
fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the
ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults.
However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will
not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion. The
compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap
but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve
this state. This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction
behavior with respect to the unevictable lru. Users who demand no page
faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0
and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on
locked memory by leaving the default value of 1.
To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a
large number of 1MB files filled with random data. These maps are
created locked and read only. Then every other mmap is unmapped and I
attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool. When the
compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages
after fragmenting memory. When the value is set to 1, allocations
succeed.

THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time.
Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and
it's harmful because of overhead.
We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using
__compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP
compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP
users -- drivers.
And it's not only about overhead.
Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics
suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page
refcounting breaks it.
Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on
them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages.
It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike
THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes
page_mapcount() be called for tail pages.
In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for
such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or
other serious misbehaviour.
Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not,
we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon()
to enable tail page refcounting.

Currently we take a naive approach to page flags on compound pages - we
set the flag on the page without consideration if the flag makes sense
for tail page or for compound page in general. This patchset try to
sort this out by defining per-flag policy on what need to be done if
page-flag helper operate on compound page.
The last patch in the patchset also sanitizes usege of page->mapping for
tail pages. We don't define the meaning of page->mapping for tail
pages. Currently it's always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head
page and potentially lead to problems.
For now I caught one case of illegal usage of page flags or ->mapping:
sound subsystem allocates pages with __GFP_COMP and maps them with PTEs.
It leads to setting dirty bit on tail pages and access to tail_page's
->mapping. I don't see any bad behaviour caused by this, but worth
fixing anyway.
This patchset makes more sense if you take my THP refcounting into
account: we will see more compound pages mapped with PTEs and we need to
define behaviour of flags on compound pages to avoid bugs.
This patch (of 16):
We have page-flags helper function declarations/definitions spread over
several header files. Let's consolidate them in <linux/page-flags.h>.

when this:

This check is especially problematic if a dentry can have its type field set
to something other than DENTRY_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL (as in

necessarily indicative of the type of dentry.
Normally, this would involve a negative dentry (ie. ->d_inode == NULL) having
->d_layer.lower pointed to a lower layer dentry, DCACHE_PINNING_LOWER set and
the DCACHE_ENTRY_TYPE field set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE - but
it could also involve, say, a DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE being overridden to
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE if a 0,0 chardev is detected in the top layer.
However, inside a filesystem, when that fs is looking at its own dentries, it
probably wants to know if they are really negative or not - and doesn't care
about the fallthrough bits used by the union.
To this end, a filesystem should normally use d_really_is_positive/negative()
when looking at its own dentries rather than d_is_positive/negative() and
should use d_inode() to get at the inode.
Anyone looking at someone else's dentries (this includes pathwalk) should use
d_is_xxx() and d_backing_inode().

DM will switch its device lookup code to using name_to_dev_t() so it
must be exported. Also, the @name argument should be marked const.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt.
2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers
can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli.
3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
from Madhu Challa.
4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck.
5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
Borkmann.
6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman.
7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.
8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck.
9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where
an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
table, we expand the table much more sanely.
10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
Biederman.
11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.
12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since
hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
underneath. From Eric Dumazet.
13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.
14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From
Hannes Frederic Sowa.
15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic
Sowa.
16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard
Cochran.
