2017-10-05HID: hid-multitouch: forward MSC_TIMESTAMPNicolas Boichat
Computes and forwards the device timestamp according to the specification. Many devices use a 16-bit timestamp field, with a resolution of 100us, therefore rolling around very frequently (every 6.5 seconds). To make sure there is no ambiguity, the timestamp reported to the input stack reset to 0 whenever the time between 2 received events is greater than MAX_TIMESTAMP_INTERVAL (1 second).

2017-10-04dev: advertise the new nsid when the netns iface changesNicolas Dichtel
x-netns interfaces are bound to two netns: the link netns and the upper netns. Usually, this kind of interfaces is created in the link netns and then moved to the upper netns. At the end, the interface is visible only in the upper netns. The link nsid is advertised via netlink in the upper netns, thus the user always knows where is the link part. There is no such mechanism in the link netns. When the interface is moved to another netns, the user cannot "follow" it. This patch adds a new netlink attribute which helps to follow an interface which moves to another netns. When the interface is unregistered, the new nsid is advertised. If the interface is a x-netns interface (ie rtnl_link_ops->get_link_net is defined), the nsid is allocated if needed. CC: Jason A.

Two major groups stand out: - Some pinctril dts/dtsi changes for stm32 due to a new driver being merged during the merge window, and this aligns the DT contents between the old format and the new. This could arguably be moved to the next merge window but it also seemed relatively harmless to include now. - Amlogic/meson had driver changes merged that required devicetree changes to avoid functional/performance regressions. I've already asked them to be more careful about this going forward, and making sure drivers are compatible with older DTs when they make these kind of changes.

2017-10-04bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpfAlexei Starovoitov
introduce BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag that can be used to attach multiple bpf programs to a cgroup. The difference between three possible flags for BPF_PROG_ATTACH command: - NONE(default): No further bpf programs allowed in the subtree. - BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup program. - BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI: If a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this cgroup. NONE and BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE existed before. This patch doesn't change their behavior. It only clarifies the semantics in relation to new flag. Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with NONE or BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag. Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI flag. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were attached first, run first) The programs of sub-cgroup are executed first, then programs of this cgroup and then programs of parent cgroup. All eligible programs are executed regardless of return code from earlier programs. To allow efficient execution of multiple programs attached to a cgroup and to avoid penalizing cgroups without any programs attached introduce 'struct bpf_prog_array' which is RCU protected array of pointers to bpf programs.

2017-10-04ASoC: soc-core: add component lookup functionsKuninori Morimoto
ALSA SoC platform/codec will be replaced to component soon. This means 1 device might have multiple components. But current unregister component function only checks "dev" to find it. This means, unexpected component might be unregistered by current function. But, it is no problem if driver registered only 1 component. To prepare avoid this issue, this patch adds new component lookup function. it finds component by "dev" and "driver name". Here, the reason why it uses "driver name" is that "component name" was created by fmt_single_name() and difficult to use it from driver. Driver of course knows its "driver name", thus, using it is more easy. Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

The AXP813 PMIC has 7 DC-DC buck regulators, 16 LDOs (including the fixed RTC LDO and 2 GPIO LDOs), and 1 switchable. The drive-vbus feature is also supported. All the hardware details are very similar to the AXP803, with the following exceptions: - Extra DCDC7 buck regulator, with the same range as DCDC6 - SWitch now has a separate supply pin, instead of being chained internaly from DCDC1 - RTC LDO output voltage is now 1.8V - FLDO3 is an LDO with switchable supplies, but unconfigurable output voltage. The voltage is always half that of its supply. Support for FLDO3 is currently unimplemented, as it requires runtime switching of its supplies, something the regulator subsystem does not support. It is not used in either the reference designs nor actually produced boards available.

2017-10-04powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe()Thomas Gleixner
The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu() on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU. The first call is via: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170 softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130 lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0 kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c kernel_init+0x2c/0x160 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc And then again via the CPU hotplug registration: start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620 cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0 smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0 kthread+0x168/0x1b0 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

2017-10-04mmc: Delete bounce buffer handlingLinus Walleij
In may, Steven sent a patch deleting the bounce buffer handling and the CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE option. I chose the less invasive path of making it a runtime config option, and we merged that successfully for kernel v4.12. The code is however just standing in the way and taking up space for seemingly no gain on any systems in wide use today. Pierre says the code was there to improve speed on TI SDHCI controllers on certain HP laptops and possibly some Ricoh controllers as well. Early SDHCI controllers lacked the scatter-gather feature, which made software bounce buffers a significant speed boost. We are clearly talking about the list of SDHCI PCI-based MMC/SD card readers found in the pci_ids[] list in drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci-core.c. The TI SDHCI derivative is not supported by the upstream kernel. This leaves the Ricoh. What we can however notice is that the x86 defconfigs in the kernel did not enable CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE option, which means that any such laptop would have to have a custom configured kernel to actually take advantage of this bounce buffer speed-up. It simply seems like there was a speed optimization for the Ricoh controllers that noone was using. (I have not checked the distro defconfigs but I am pretty sure the situation is the same there.) Bounce buffers increased performance on the OMAP HSMMC at one point, and was part of the original submission in commit a45c6cb81647 ("[ARM] 5369/1: omap mmc: Add new omap hsmmc controller for 2430 and 34xx, v3") This optimization was removed in commit 0ccd76d4c236 ("omap_hsmmc: Implement scatter-gather emulation") which found that scatter-gather emulation provided even better performance. The same was introduced for SDHCI in commit 2134a922c6e7 ("sdhci: scatter-gather (ADMA) support") I am pretty positively convinced that software scatter-gather emulation will do for any host controller what the bounce buffers were doing. Essentially, the bounce buffer was a reimplementation of software scatter-gather-emulation in the MMC subsystem, and it should be done away with.

2017-10-03mm/memory_hotplug: change pfn_to_section_nr/section_nr_to_pfn macro to ↵YASUAKI ISHIMATSU
inline function pfn_to_section_nr() and section_nr_to_pfn() are defined as macro. pfn_to_section_nr() has no issue even if it is defined as macro. But section_nr_to_pfn() has overflow issue if sec is defined as int. section_nr_to_pfn() just shifts sec by PFN_SECTION_SHIFT. If sec is defined as unsigned long, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 64 bit value. But if sec is defined as int, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 32 bit value. __remove_section() calculates start_pfn using section_nr_to_pfn() and scn_nr defined as int. So if hot-removed memory address is over 16TB, overflow issue occurs and section_nr_to_pfn() does not calculate correct pfn. To make callers use proper arg, the patch changes the macros to inline functions.

Patch series "exec: binfmt_misc: fix use-after-free, kill iname[BINPRM_BUF_SIZE]". It looks like this code was always wrong, then commit 948b701a607f ("binfmt_misc: add persistent opened binary handler for containers") added more problems. This patch (of 6): load_script() can simply use i_name instead, it points into bprm->buf[] and nobody can change this memory until we call prepare_binprm(). The only complication is that we need to also change the signature of bprm_change_interp() but this change looks good too. While at it, do whitespace/style cleanups. NOTE: the real motivation for this change is that people want to increase BINPRM_BUF_SIZE, we need to change load_misc_binary() too but this looks more complicated because afaics it is very buggy.

For KVM mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so. A MMU notifier implementation has to implement either ->invalidate_range method or the invalidate_range_start/end methods, not both. And if you implement invalidate_range_start/end like KVM is forced to do, calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in common code is a noop for KVM. For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD iommuv2) can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range" As the callback is allowed to sleep and the implementation is out of hand of the MM it is safer to simply bail out if there is an mmu notifier registered. In order to not fail too early make the mm_has_notifiers check under the oom_lock and have a little nap before failing to give the current oom victim some more time to exit.

There's a typo in recent change of VM_MPX definition. We want it to be VM_HIGH_ARCH_4, not VM_HIGH_ARCH_BIT_4. This bug does cause visible regressions. In arch_vma_name the vmflags are tested against VM_MPX. With the incorrect value of VM_MPX, a number of vmas (such as the stack) test positive and end up being marked as "[mpx]" in /proc/N/maps instead of their correct names.

2017-10-03sctp: introduce round robin stream schedulerMarcelo Ricardo Leitner

2017-10-03sctp: introduce priority based stream schedulerMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
This patch introduces RFC Draft ndata section 3.4 Priority Based Scheduler (SCTP_SS_PRIO). It works by having a struct sctp_stream_priority for each priority configured. This struct is then enlisted on a queue ordered per priority if, and only if, there is a stream with data queued, so that dequeueing is very straightforward: either finish current datamsg or simply dequeue from the highest priority queued, which is the next stream pointed, and that's it. If there are multiple streams assigned with the same priority and with data queued, it will do round robin amongst them while respecting datamsgs boundaries (when not using idata chunks), to be reasonably fair. We intentionally don't maintain a list of priorities nor a list of all streams with the same priority to save memory. The first would mean at least 2 other pointers per priority (which, for 1000 priorities, that can mean 16kB) and the second would also mean 2 other pointers but per stream. As SCTP supports up to 65535 streams on a given asoc, that's 1MB. This impacts when giving a priority to some stream, as we have to find out if the new priority is already being used and if we can free the old one, and also when tearing down. The new fields in struct sctp_stream_out_ext and sctp_stream are added under a union because that memory is to be shared with other schedulers.

2017-10-03sctp: introduce stream scheduler foundationsMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
This patch introduces the hooks necessary to do stream scheduling, as per RFC Draft ndata. It also introduces the first scheduler, which is what we do today but now factored out: first come first served (FCFS). With stream scheduling now we have to track which chunk was enqueued on which stream and be able to select another other than the in front of the main outqueue. So we introduce a list on sctp_stream_out_ext structure for this purpose. We reuse sctp_chunk->transmitted_list space for the list above, as the chunk cannot belong to the two lists at the same time. By using the union in there, we can have distinct names for these moments. sctp_sched_ops are the operations expected to be implemented by each scheduler. The dequeueing is a bit particular to this implementation but it is to match how we dequeue packets today. We first dequeue and then check if it fits the packet and if not, we requeue it at head. Thus why we don't have a peek operation but have dequeue_done instead, which is called once the chunk can be safely considered as transmitted. The check removed from sctp_outq_flush is now performed by sctp_stream_outq_migrate, which is only called during assoc setup. (sctp_sendmsg() also checks for it) The only operation that is foreseen but not yet added here is a way to signalize that a new packet is starting or that the packet is done, for round robin scheduler per packet, but is intentionally left to the patch that actually implements it. Support for I-DATA chunks, also described in this RFC, with user message interleaving is straightforward as it just requires the schedulers to probe for the feature and ignore datamsg boundaries when dequeueing.

2017-10-03sctp: introduce struct sctp_stream_out_extMarcelo Ricardo Leitner
With the stream schedulers, sctp_stream_out will become too big to be allocated by kmalloc and as we need to allocate with BH disabled, we cannot use __vmalloc in sctp_stream_init(). This patch moves out the stats from sctp_stream_out to sctp_stream_out_ext, which will be allocated only when the application tries to sendmsg something on it. Just the introduction of sctp_stream_out_ext would already fix the issue described above by splitting the allocation in two. Moving the stats to it also reduces the pressure on the allocator as we will ask for less memory atomically when creating the socket and we will use GFP_KERNEL later. Then, for stream schedulers, we will just use sctp_stream_out_ext.

This way, the forwarding path can use the parent ID field without invoking switchdev calls, which requires the RTNL lock. When a new VIF is added, set the device parent ID field in it by invoking the switchdev_port_attr_get call.

2017-10-03skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark fieldYotam Gigi
Similarly to the offload_fwd_mark field, the offload_mr_fwd_mark field is used to allow partial offloading of MFC multicast routes. Switchdev drivers can offload MFC multicast routes to the hardware by registering to the FIB notification chain. When one of the route output interfaces is not offload-able, i.e. has different parent ID, the route cannot be fully offloaded by the hardware. Examples to non-offload-able devices are a management NIC, dummy device, pimreg device, etc. Similar problem exists in the bridge module, as one bridge can hold interfaces with different parent IDs. At the bridge, the problem is solved by the offload_fwd_mark skb field. Currently, when a route cannot go through full offload, the only solution for a switchdev driver is not to offload it at all and let the packet go through slow path. Using the offload_mr_fwd_mark field, a driver can indicate that a packet was already forwarded by hardware to all the devices with the same parent ID as the input device. Further patches in this patch-set are going to enhance ipmr to skip multicast forwarding to devices with the same parent ID if a packets is marked with that field. The reason why the already existing "offload_fwd_mark" bit cannot be used is that a switchdev driver would want to make the distinction between a packet that has already gone through L2 forwarding but did not go through multicast forwarding, and a packet that has already gone through both L2 and multicast forwarding. For example: when a packet is ingressing from a switchport enslaved to a bridge, which is configured with multicast forwarding, the following scenarios are possible: - The packet can be trapped to the CPU due to exception while multicast forwarding (for example, MTU error). In that case, it had already gone through L2 forwarding in the hardware, thus A switchdev driver would want to set the skb->offload_fwd_mark and not the skb->offload_mr_fwd_mark. - The packet can also be trapped due to a pimreg/dummy device used as one of the output interfaces. In that case, it can go through both L2 and (partial) multicast forwarding inside the hardware, thus a switchdev driver would want to set both the skb->offload_fwd_mark and skb->offload_mr_fwd_mark.

2017-10-03writeback: only allow one inflight and pending full flushJens Axboe
When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at least) two problems: 1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items. We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage, while the box is under memory pressure. 2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work items and deleting/freeing them. Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we simply ignore it. This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well, and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.
