When vzalloc() returns NULL to sha_regions, no error return code of kexec_calculate_store_digests() is assigned. To fix this bug, ret is assigned with -ENOMEM in this case.

Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc) to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an O(1) lookup. This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a thread group with many children and/or tracees. Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already has N children [1]: N | Before | After -----|---------|------ 1 | 74 us | 74 us 20 | 72 us | 75 us 100 | 83 us | 77 us 500 | 99 us | 74 us 1000 | 179 us | 75 us 5000 | 804 us | 79 us 8000 | 1268 us | 78 us [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567 This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling (without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by fixing the following warning: CC [M] fs/hpfs/dir.o fs/hpfs/dir.c: In function `hpfs_readdir': fs/hpfs/dir.c:163:41: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of `u8[1]' {aka `unsigned char[1]'} [-Warray-bounds] 163 | || de ->name[0] != 1 || de->name[1] != 1)) | ~~~~~~~~^~~ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member [2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/79 Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/109 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210326173510.GA81212@embeddedorSigned-off-by:Gustavo A.

Commit 339ddb53 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") changed the userspace visible behavior of exclusive waiters blocked on a common epoll descriptor upon a single event becoming ready. Previously, all tasks doing epoll_wait would awake, and now only one is awoken, potentially causing missed wakeups on applications that rely on this behavior, such as Apache Qpid. While the aforementioned commit aims at having only a wakeup single path in ep_poll_callback (with the exceptions of epoll_ctl cases), we need to restore the wakeup in what was the old ep_scan_ready_list() such that the next thread can be awoken, in a cascading style, after the waker's corresponding ep_send_events().

Patch series "fs/epoll: restore user-visible behavior upon event ready". This series tries to address a change in user visible behavior, reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943. Epoll does not report an event to all the threads running epoll_wait() on the same epoll descriptor. Unsurprisingly, this was bisected back to 339ddb53 (fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll), which has had various problems in the past, beyond only nested epoll usage. This patch (of 2): This incorporates the testcase originally reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943 Which ensures an event is reported to all threads blocked on the same epoll descriptor, otherwise only a single thread will receive the wakeup once the event become ready.

Similarly to bitmap functions, find_next_*_bit() users will benefit if we'll handle a case of bitmaps that fit into a single word inline. In the very best case, the compiler may replace a function call with a few instructions. This is the quite typical find_next_bit() user: unsigned int cpumask_next(int n, const struct cpumask *srcp) { /* -1 is a legal arg here. */ if (n != -1) cpumask_check(n); return find_next_bit(cpumask_bits(srcp), nr_cpumask_bits, n + 1); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpumask_next); Currently, on ARM64 the generated code looks like this: 0000000000000000 <cpumask_next>: 0: a9bf7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]! 4: 11000402 add w2, w0, #0x1 8: aa0103e0 mov x0, x1 c: d2800401 mov x1, #0x40 // #64 10: 910003fd mov x29, sp 14: 93407c42 sxtw x2, w2 18: 94000000 bl 0 <find_next_bit> 1c: a8c17bfd ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16 20: d65f03c0 ret 24: d503201f nop After applying this patch: 0000000000000140 <cpumask_next>: 140: 11000400 add w0, w0, #0x1 144: 93407c00 sxtw x0, w0 148: f100fc1f cmp x0, #0x3f 14c: 54000168 b.hi 178 <cpumask_next+0x38> // b.pmore 150: f9400023 ldr x3, [x1] 154: 92800001 mov x1, #0xffffffffffffffff // #-1 158: 9ac02020 lsl x0, x1, x0 15c: 52800802 mov w2, #0x40 // #64 160: 8a030001 and x1, x0, x3 164: dac00020 rbit x0, x1 168: f100003f cmp x1, #0x0 16c: dac01000 clz x0, x0 170: 1a800040 csel w0, w2, w0, eq // eq = none 174: d65f03c0 ret 178: 52800800 mov w0, #0x40 // #64 17c: d65f03c0 ret find_next_bit() call is replaced with 6 instructions. find_next_bit() itself is 41 instructions plus function call overhead.

Patch series "lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps", v6. Bitmap operations are much simpler and faster in case of small bitmaps which fit into a single word. In linux/bitmap.c we have a machinery that allows compiler to replace actual function call with a few instructions if bitmaps passed into the function are small and their size is known at compile time. find_*_bit() API lacks this functionality; but users will benefit from it a lot. One important example is cpumask subsystem when NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG. This patch (of 12): GENMASK(h, l) may be passed with unsigned types. In such case, type-limits warning is generated for example in case of GENMASK(h, 0).

An async_func_t returns void - any errors encountered it has to stash somewhere for consumers to discover later. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210226124355.2503524-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by:

Declaring struct pt_regs is unnecessary. On the one hand, there is no function using it; on the other hand, struct pt_regs has been declared in linux/kernel.h. Remove them. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210401104834.1009157-1-wanjiabing@vivo.comSigned-off-by:

The bitmap.h header is used in a lot of code around the kernel. Besides that it includes kernel.h which sometimes makes a loop. The problem here is many unneeded loops that make header hell dependencies. For example, how may you move bitmap_zalloc() from C-file to the header? Currently it's impossible. And bitmap.h here is only the tip of an iceberg. kerne.h is a dump of everything that even has nothing in common at all. We may still have it, but in my new code I prefer to include only the headers that I want to use, without the bulk of unneeded kernel code. Break the loop by introducing align.h, including it in kernel.h and bitmap.h followed by replacing kernel.h with limits.h.
