2016-11-15pstore: Clarify context field przs as dprzsKees Cook
Since "przs" (persistent ram zones) is a general name in the code now, so rename the Oops-dump zones to dprzs from przs. Based on a patch from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2016-11-15pstore: improve error report for failed setupKees Cook
When setting ramoops record sizes, sometimes it's not clear which parameters contributed to the allocation failure. This adds a per-zone name and expands the failure reports. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2016-11-15pstore: Merge per-CPU ftrace records into oneJoel Fernandes
Up until this patch, each of the per CPU ftrace buffers appear as a separate ftrace-ramoops-N file. In this patch we merge all the zones into one and populate a single ftrace-ramoops-0 file.

2016-11-15pstore: Add ftrace timestamp counterJoel Fernandes
In preparation for merging the per CPU buffers into one buffer when we retrieve the pstore ftrace data, we store the timestamp as a counter in the ftrace pstore record. We store the CPU number as well if !PSTORE_CPU_IN_IP, in this case we shift the counter and may lose ordering there but we preserve the same record size. The timestamp counter is also racy, and not doing any locking or synchronization here results in the benefit of lower overhead. Since we don't care much here for exact ordering of function traces across CPUs, we don't synchronize and may lose some counter updates but I'm ok with that. Using trace_clock() results in much lower performance so avoid using it since we don't want accuracy in timestamp and need a rough ordering to perform merge.

2016-11-15ramoops: Split ftrace buffer space into per-CPU zonesJoel Fernandes
If the RAMOOPS_FLAG_FTRACE_PER_CPU flag is passed to ramoops pdata, split the ftrace space into multiple zones depending on the number of CPUs. This speeds up the performance of function tracing by about 280% in my tests as we avoid the locking. The trade off being lesser space available per CPU. Let the ramoops user decide which option they want based on pdata flag.

2016-11-15pstore: Make ramoops_init_przs generic for other prz arraysKees Cook
Currently ramoops_init_przs() is hard wired only for panic dump zone array.

2016-11-11pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of globalJoel Fernandes
Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this, make the locking optional. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> [kees: updated commit message] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2016-09-27fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestampsDeepa Dinamani
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps. Use current_time() instead. CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also, current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be y2038 safe. Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they share the same time granularity.

2016-09-08pstore/ram: Use memcpy_fromio() to save old bufferAndrew Bresticker
The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached memory. On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered) mapping. Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy(). memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use that instead.

persistent_ram_update uses vmap / iomap based on whether the buffer is in memory region or reserved region. However, both map it as non-cacheable memory. For armv8 specifically, non-cacheable mapping requests use a memory type that has to be accessed aligned to the request size. memcpy() doesn't guarantee that.

Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being reclaimed.

I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for pstore. Now it seems that the FPGA no longer supports cmpxchg based updates and writes back 0xff…ff and returns the same.

2016-09-08pstore/ramoops: fixup driver removalSebastian Andrzej Siewior
A basic rmmod ramoops segfaults. Let's see why. Since commit 34f0ec82e0a9 ("pstore: Correct the max_dump_cnt clearing of ramoops") sets ->max_dump_cnt to zero before looping over ->przs but we didn't use it before that either. And since commit ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") we free that memory on rmmod. But even then, we looped until a NULL pointer or ERR. I don't see where it is ensured that the last member is NULL. Let's try this instead: simply error recovery and free. Clean up in error case where resources were allocated. And then, in the free path, rely on ->max_dump_cnt in the free path.

2016-06-14pstore/ram: add Device Tree bindingsGreg Hackmann
ramoops is one of the remaining places where ARM vendors still rely on board-specific shims. Device Tree lets us replace those shims with generic code. These bindings mirror the ramoops module parameters, with two small differences: (1) dump_oops becomes an optional "no-dump-oops" property, since ramoops sets dump_oops=1 by default. (2) mem_type=1 becomes the more self-explanatory "unbuffered" property.

2016-06-02pstore: drop file opened reference countGeliang Tang
In ee1d267423a1 ("pstore: add pstore unregister") I added: .owner = THIS_MODULE, in both pstore_fs_type and pstore_file_operations to increase a reference count when pstore filesystem is mounted and pstore file is opened. But, it's repetitive. There is no need to increase the opened reference count. We only need to increase the mounted reference count. When a file is opened, the filesystem can't be unmounted. Hence the pstore module can't be unloaded either. So I drop the opened reference count in this patch.

2016-06-02pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression supportGeliang Tang
Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4 compression support so that users can have more options and better compression ratio. The original code treats the compressed data together with the uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-07-03Merge branch 'for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all. Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced. There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount points on proc and sysfs that are created specially. This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime, read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid attributes remains for another time. This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of /proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was converted) and is not now actively wrong. There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that I will mention briefly. It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount. At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the performance part of pathname resolution. As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once they are recognized" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path mnt: Update fs_fully_visible to test for permanently empty directories sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. kernfs: Add support for always empty directories. proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints. fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace

For example: if pstore backend is ramoops, with this patch: # cat /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend ramoops and without this patch: # cat /sys/module/pstore/parameters/backend (null) Signed-off-by: Wang Long <long.wanglong@huawei.com> Acked-by: Mark Salyzyn <salyzyn@android.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
