      arm64: Handle erratum 1418040 as a superset of erratum 1188873 · a5325089
      Marc Zyngier authored
      We already mitigate erratum 1188873 affecting Cortex-A76 and
      Neoverse-N1 r0p0 to r2p0. It turns out that revisions r0p0 to
      r3p1 of the same cores are affected by erratum 1418040, which
      has the same workaround as 1188873.
      
      Let's expand the range of affected revisions to match 1418040,
      and repaint all occurences of 1188873 to 1418040. Whilst we're
      there, do a bit of reformating in silicon-errata.txt and drop
      a now unnecessary dependency on ARM_ARCH_TIMER_OOL_WORKAROUND.

      arm64/module: deal with ambiguity in PRELxx relocation ranges · 1cf24a2c
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      The R_AARCH64_PREL16 and R_AARCH64_PREL32 relocations are
      documented as permitting a range of [-2^15 .. 2^16), resp.
      [-2^31 .. 2^32). It is also documented that this means we
      cannot detect overflow in some cases, which is bad.
      
      Since we always interpret the targets of these relocations as
      signed quantities (e.g., in the ksymtab handling code), let's
      tighten the overflow checks so that targets that are out of
      range for our signed interpretation of the relocated quantity
      get flagged.

      ACPI/IORT: Fix build error when IOMMU_SUPPORT is disabled · 82126886
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      If IOMMU_SUPPORT is not enabled (and therefore IOMMU_API is not
      selected), struct iommu_fwspec is an empty struct and
      IOMMU_FWSPEC_PCI_RC_ATS is not defined, resulting in the following
      compilation errors:
      
      drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c: In function iort_iommu_configure:
      drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c:1079:21: error: struct iommu_fwspec has no member named flag:
          dev->iommu_fwspec->flags |= IOMMU_FWSPEC_PCI_RC_ATS;
                           ^~
      drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c:1079:32: error: IOMMU_FWSPEC_PCI_RC_ATS
      undeclared (first use in this function)
          dev->iommu_fwspec->flags |= IOMMU_FWSPEC_PCI_RC_ATS;
                                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c:1079:32: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
      
      Move iort_iommu_configure() (and the helpers functions it relies on)
      into CONFIG_IOMMU_API preprocessor guarded code so that when
      CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT is not enabled we prevent compiling code that is
      basically equivalent to no-OP, fixing the build errors.

      arm64/kernel: kaslr: reduce module randomization range to 2 GB · b2eed9b5
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      The following commit
      
        7290d580 ("module: use relative references for __ksymtab entries")
      
      updated the ksymtab handling of some KASLR capable architectures
      so that ksymtab entries are emitted as pairs of 32-bit relative
      references. This reduces the size of the entries, but more
      importantly, it gets rid of statically assigned absolute
      addresses, which require fixing up at boot time if the kernel
      is self relocating (which takes a 24 byte RELA entry for each
      member of the ksymtab struct).
      
      Since ksymtab entries are always part of the same module as the
      symbol they export, it was assumed at the time that a 32-bit
      relative reference is always sufficient to capture the offset
      between a ksymtab entry and its target symbol.
      
      Unfortunately, this is not always true: in the case of per-CPU
      variables, a per-CPU variable's base address (which usually differs
      from the actual address of any of its per-CPU copies) is allocated
      in the vicinity of the ..data.percpu section in the core kernel
      (i.e., in the per-CPU reserved region which follows the section
      containing the core kernel's statically allocated per-CPU variables).
      
      Since we randomize the module space over a 4 GB window covering
      the core kernel (based on the -/+ 4 GB range of an ADRP/ADD pair),
      we may end up putting the core kernel out of the -/+ 2 GB range of
      32-bit relative references of module ksymtab entries that refer to
      per-CPU variables.
      
      So reduce the module randomization range a bit further. We lose
      1 bit of randomization this way, but this is something we can
      tolerate.

      arm64: errata: Add workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225 · 969f5ea6
      Will Deacon authored
      Revisions of the Cortex-A76 CPU prior to r4p0 are affected by an erratum
      that can prevent interrupts from being taken when single-stepping.
      
      This patch implements a software workaround to prevent userspace from
      effectively being able to disable interrupts.

           manifests during boot.
      
         - The arch/riscv support for SiFive's L2 cache controller has been
           merged, which should un-block the EDAC framework work.
      
        I've only tested this on QEMU again, as I didn't have time to get

      Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending

      initramfs: don't free a non-existent initrd · 5d59aa8f
      Steven Price authored
      Since commit 54c7a891 ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
      /initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
      the initrd even if it doesn't exist.
      
      In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
      CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
      NULL address.
      
      Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
      to free it if it does.

      Jiufei Xue authored
      synchronize_rcu() didn't wait for call_rcu() callbacks, so inode wb
      switch may not go to the workqueue after synchronize_rcu().  Thus
      previous scheduled switches was not finished even flushing the
      workqueue, which will cause a NULL pointer dereferenced followed below.

      There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
      days.  The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c8
      ("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
      skip hints").  When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
      boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
      Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
      or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.
      
      A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
      improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
      avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.
      
      A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
      of a pageblock which is not intended.  While syzbot cannot be used to
      verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
      triggers with this patch applied.  It has also been confirmed that the THP
      allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

      mm/vmalloc.c: keep track of free blocks for vmap allocation · 68ad4a33
      Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) authored
      Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
      
      Objective
      ---------
      
      Please have a look for the description at:
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
      
      but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
      
      The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
      permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
      "long" i mean milliseconds.
      
      Description
      -----------
      
      This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
      1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e.  an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
      instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks.  It allows to have
      lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
      less fragmented memory allocator.  Because free blocks are always as large
      as possible.
      
      It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
      order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
      O(1) access to prev/next elements.
      
      Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
      that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
      sub-tree.  Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
      most path) free area.
      
      Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity.  It is sequential allocation method
      therefore tends to maximize locality.  The search is done until a first
      suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
      Bigger areas are split.
      
      I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
      described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
      
      <snip>
      
      A free block can be split by three different ways.  Their names are
      FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e.  they
      correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
      
      FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
      list/tree because it fully fits.  Comparing with current design there is
      an extra work with rb-tree updating.
      
      LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit.  In this case what we do
      is just cutting a free block.  It is as fast as a current design.  Most of
      the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
      always aligned to 1.
      
      NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case.  Basically it happens when
      requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e.  it
      is between them.  In this case during splitting we have to build a
      remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
      
      Comparing with current design there are two extra steps.  First one is we
      have to allocate a new vmap_area structure.  Second one we have to insert
      that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
      
      In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
      Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
      reuse it.
      
      Second one is pretty optimized.  Since we know a start point in the tree
      we do not do a search from the top.  Instead a traversal begins from a
      rb-tree node we split.
      <snip>
      
      De-allocation.  ~O(log(N)) complexity.  An area is not inserted straight
      away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
      can be merged around neighbors.  The list provides O(1) access to
      prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it.  Summarizing.  If merged then
      large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
      more fragments.
      
      There is one more thing that i should mention here.  After modification of
      VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
      its left or right sub-tree.  Apart of that it can also be populated back
      to upper levels to fix the tree.  For more details please have a look at
      the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
      
      Tests and stressing
      -------------------
      
      I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
      "tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel.  Just trigger "sudo
      ./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
      
      Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
      Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
      therefore i emulated it.  The time of stressing is days.
      
      If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
      is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1.  So, please apply it:
      
      http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
      
      After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
      leaks, crashes or kernel panics.  I find it stable, but more testing would
      be good.
      
      Performance analysis
      --------------------
      
      I have used two systems to test.  One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
      another is HiKey960(arm64) board.  i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
      Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel.  I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
      as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
      
      Currently it consist of 8 tests.  There are three of them which correspond
      to different types of splitting(to compare with default).  We have 3
      ones(see above).  Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
      
      a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
      
      When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
      tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order.  We
      do it in order to get stable and repeatable results.  Take a look at time
      difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test".  It is not surprising because
      the worst case is O(N).
      
      # i5-3320M
      How many cycles all tests took:
      CPU0=646919905370(default) cycles vs CPU0=193290498550(patched) cycles
      
      # See detailed table with results here:

      ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/i5-3320M_performance_patched.txt
      
      # Hikey960 8x CPUs
      How many cycles all tests took:
      CPU0=3478683207 cycles vs CPU0=463767978 cycles

      ftp://vps418301.ovh.net/incoming/vmap_test_results_v2/HiKey960_performance_patched.txt
      
      b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1
      
      With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs.
      Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order.  It gives
      random allocation behaviour.  So it is rough comparison, but it puts in
      the picture for sure.

      sys     unknown                    sys     0m0.670s
      
      I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel
      version.  After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel
      it.  That is why real/user/sys are "unknown".
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
      iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
      areas.  Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown.  Due to
      over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
      take a long time.  For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
      
      This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
      1-ULONG_MAX range.  It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
      sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
      order of increasing addresses.
      
      Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
      its left or right sub-tree.  Thus, that allows to take a decision and
      traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
      address, i.e.  it is sequential allocation.
      
      Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
      suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
      requested size, alignment and vstart point.  If the block is bigger than
      requested size - it is split.
      
      De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
      inserted to the tree.  Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
      whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
      blocks to check if merging can be done.  In case of merging of
      de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
      
      Complexity: ~O(log(N))

          user space records, resulting in ~3-5x perf.data file size reduction
          on variety of tested workloads what saves storage space on larger
          server systems where perf.data size can easily reach several tens or
          even hundreds of GiBs, especially when profiling with DWARF-based
          stacks and tracing of context switches.

          that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.
      
          We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
          this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
      
          I.e. now its possible to do this per-event, and have it mixed with other

        - Add DWARF register mappings for libdw, allowing --call-graph=dwarf to work
          on the C-SKY arch.
      
      x86:
