This adds a few tests to test_number, one of which serves to document another deviation from POSIX/C99 (printing 0 with an explicit precision of 0). Signed-off-by:

kasprintf relies on being able to replay the formatting and getting the same result (in particular, the same length). This will almost always work, but it is possible that the object pointed to by a %s or %p argument changed under us (so we might get truncated output). Add a somewhat paranoid sanity check and let's see if it ever triggers. Signed-off-by:

The field width is overloaded to pass some extra information for some %p extensions (e.g. #bits for %pb). But we might silently truncate the passed value when we stash it in struct printf_spec (see e.g. "lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits"). Hopefully 23 value bits should now be enough for everybody, but if not, let's make some noise. Do the same for the precision. In both cases, clamping seems more sensible than truncating. While, according to POSIX, "A negative precision is taken as if the precision were omitted.", the kernel's printf has always treated that case as if the precision was 0, so we use that as lower bound. For the field width, the smallest representable value is actually -(1<<23), but a negative field width means 'set the LEFT flag and use the absolute value', so we want the absolute value to fit.

One consequence of the reorganization of struct printf_spec to make field_width 24 bits was that number() gained about 180 bytes. Since spec is never passed to other functions, we can help gcc make number() lose most of that extra weight by using local variables for the field width and precision. Reviewed-by:

Maurizio Lombardi reported a problem [1] with the %pb extension: It doesn't work for sufficiently large bitmaps, since the size is stashed in the field_width field of the struct printf_spec, which is currently an s16. Concretely, this manifested itself in /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map being empty, since the bitmap printer got a size of 0, which is the 16 bit truncation of the actual bitmap size. We do want to keep struct printf_spec at 8 bytes so that it can cheaply be passed by value. The qualifier field is only used for internal bookkeeping in format_decode, so we might as well use a local variable for that. This gives us an additional 8 bits, which we can then use for the field width. To stay in 8 bytes, we need to do a little rearranging and make the type member a bitfield as well. For consistency, change all the members to bit fields. gcc doesn't generate much worse code with these changes (in fact, bloat-o-meter says we save 300 bytes - which I think is a little surprising). I didn't find a BUILD_BUG/compiletime_assertion/... which would work outside function context, so for now I just open-coded it.

If the string corresponding to a %s specifier can change under us, we might end up copying a \0 byte to the output buffer. There might be callers who expect the output buffer to contain a genuine C string whose length is exactly the snprintf return value (assuming truncation hasn't happened or has been checked for). We can avoid this by only passing over the source string once, stopping the first time we meet a nul byte (or when we reach the given precision), and then letting widen_string() handle left/right space padding. As a small bonus, this code reuse also makes the generated code slightly smaller. Signed-off-by:

@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through lock or trylock. If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched(). This allows console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling. However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule before starting outputting lines. Also, only a few drivers call console_conditional_schedule() to begin with. This means that when a lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for a long time on a non-preemptible kernel. If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time. Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of warnings incapacitating the system. Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if @console_may_schedule. Signed-off-by:

Thierry Reding authored
Boot consoles are typically replaced by proper consoles during the boot process. This can be problematic if the boot console data is part of the init section that is reclaimed late during boot. If the proper console does not register before this point in time, the boot console will need to be removed (so that the freed memory is not accessed), leaving the system without output for some time. There are various reasons why the proper console may not register early enough, such as deferred probe or the driver being a loadable module. If that happens, there is some amount of time where no console messages are visible to the user, which in turn can mean that they won't see crashes or other potentially useful information. To avoid this situation, only remove the boot console when it resides in the init section. Code exists to replace the boot console by the proper console when it is registered, keeping a seamless transition between the boot and proper consoles. Signed-off-by:

Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it. The only conversion is from unsigned to signed type. char is left as a return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual signedness. With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type (which may or may not be the same). This came after some back and forth with Nicolas. The current macro has different return type (for the same input type) depending on architecture which might be midly iritating. An alternative version would promote to int like so: #define abs(x) __abs_choose_expr(x, long long, \ __abs_choose_expr(x, long, \ __builtin_choose_expr( \ sizeof(x) <= sizeof(int), \ ({ int __x = (x); __x<0?-__x:__x; }), \ ((void)0)))) I have no preference but imagine Linus might. :] Nicolas argument against is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour: int main(void) { unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b; unsigned short d = abs(a - b); unsigned short e = abs(c); printf("%u %u\n", d, e); // prints: 1 65535 } Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer arithmetic. ;) Note: __builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and __builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

A spare array holding mem cgroup threshold events is kept around to make sure we can always safely deregister an event and have an array to store the new set of events in. In the scenario where we're going from 1 to 0 registered events, the pointer to the primary array containing 1 event is copied to the spare slot, and then the spare slot is freed because no events are left. However, it is freed before calling synchronize_rcu(), which means readers may still be accessing threshold->primary after it is freed. Fixed by only freeing after synchronize_rcu(). Signed-off-by:

Currently memory_failure() doesn't handle non anonymous thp case, because we can hardly expect the error handling to be successful, and it can just hit some corner case which results in BUG_ON or something severe like that. This is also the case for soft offline code, so let's make it in the same way. Orignal code has a MF_COUNT_INCREASED check before put_hwpoison_page(), but it's unnecessary because get_any_page() is already called when running on this code, which takes a refcount of the target page regardress of the flag.

Page faults can race with fallocate hole punch. If a page fault happens between the unmap and remove operations, the page is not removed and remains within the hole. This is not the desired behavior. The race is difficult to detect in user level code as even in the non-race case, a page within the hole could be faulted back in before fallocate returns. If userfaultfd is expanded to support hugetlbfs in the future, this race will be easier to observe. If this race is detected and a page is mapped, the remove operation (remove_inode_hugepages) will unmap the page before removing. The unmap within remove_inode_hugepages occurs with the hugetlb_fault_mutex held so that no other faults will be processed until the page is removed. The (unmodified) routine hugetlb_vmdelete_list was moved ahead of remove_inode_hugepages to satisfy the new reference. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: move hugetlb_vmdelete_list()] Signed-off-by:

Hillf Danton noticed bugs in the hugetlb_vmtruncate_list routine. The argument end is of type pgoff_t. It was being converted to a vaddr offset and passed to unmap_hugepage_range. However, end was also being used as an argument to the vma_interval_tree_foreach controlling loop. In addition, the conversion of end to vaddr offset was incorrect. hugetlb_vmtruncate_list is called as part of a file truncate or fallocate hole punch operation. When truncating a hugetlbfs file, this bug could prevent some pages from being unmapped. This is possible if there are multiple vmas mapping the file, and there is a sufficiently sized hole between the mappings. The size of the hole between two vmas (A,B) must be such that the starting virtual address of B is greater than (ending virtual address of A << PAGE_SHIFT). In this case, the pages in B would not be unmapped. If pages are not properly unmapped during truncate, the following BUG is hit: kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:428! In the fallocate hole punch case, this bug could prevent pages from being unmapped as in the truncate case. However, for hole punch the result is that unmapped pages will not be removed during the operation. For hole punch, it is also possible that more pages than desired will be unmapped. This unnecessary unmapping will cause page faults to reestablish the mappings on subsequent page access.

Hugh Dickins authored
Both s390 and powerpc have hit the issue of swapoff hanging, when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY ifdefs were not quite as x86_64 had them. I think it would be much clearer if HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY was just a Kconfig option set by architectures to determine whether the MEM_SOFT_DIRTY option should be offered, and the actual code depend upon CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY alone. But won't embark on that change myself: instead make swapoff more robust, by using pte_swp_clear_soft_dirty() on each pte it encounters, without an explicit #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY. That being a no-op, whether the bit in question is defined as 0 or the asm-generic fallback is used, unless soft dirty is fully turned on. Why "maybe" in maybe_same_pte()? Rename it pte_same_as_swp(). Signed-off-by:

Dmitry Vyukov has reported[1] possible deadlock (triggered by his syzkaller fuzzer): Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key); lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem); lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key); lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem); Both traces points to mm_take_all_locks() as a source of the problem. It doesn't take care about ordering or hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key (aka mapping->i_mmap_rwsem for hugetlb mapping) vs. i_mmap_rwsem. huge_pmd_share() does memory allocation under hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key and allocator can take i_mmap_rwsem if it hit reclaim. So we need to take i_mmap_rwsem from all hugetlb VMAs before taking i_mmap_rwsem from rest of VMAs. The patch also documents locking order for hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key.

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem. Signed-off-by:
