For several devices, the rootwait time is sensitive because it directly affects booting time. The polling interval of rootwait is currently 100ms. To save unnessesary waiting time, reduce the polling interval to 5 ms.

We have observed page allocations failures of order 4 during core dump while trying to allocate vma_filesz. This results in a useless core file of size 0. To improve reliability use vmalloc(). Note that the vmalloc() allocation is bounded by sysctl_max_map_count, which is 65,530 by default. So with a 4k page size, and 8 bytes per seg, this is a max of 128 pages or an order 7 allocation. Other parts of the core dump path, such as fill_files_note() are already using vmalloc() for presumably similar reasons.

Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs (loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk. There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to do so. Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.

Commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") allows to define more message headers for a single message. The motivation is that continuous lines might get mixed. Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. This patch allows to copy only the real message level. We should ignore KERN_CONT because <filename:line> is added for each message. By other words, we want to know where each piece of the line comes from.

Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. The current btrfs_printk() macros do not support continuous lines at the moment. But better be prepared for a custom messages and avoid potential "lvl" buffer overflow. This patch iterates over the entire message header. It is interested only into the message level like the original code. This patch also introduces PRINTK_MAX_SINGLE_HEADER_LEN. Three bytes are enough for the message level header at the moment. But it used to be three, see the commit 04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"). Also I fixed the default ratelimit level. It looked very strange when it was different from the default log level.

Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all headers and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level(). This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users independently.

Commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") added back KERN_CONT message header. As a result it might appear in the middle of the line when the parts are squashed via the temporary NMI buffer. A reasonable solution seems to be to split the text in the NNI temporary not only by newlines but also by the message headers. Another solution would be to filter out KERN_CONT when writing to the temporary buffer. But this would complicate the lockless handling. Also it would not solve problems with a missing newline that was there even before the KERN_CONT stuff. This patch moves the temporary buffer handling into separate function. I played with it and it seems that using the char pointers make the code easier to read. Also it prints the final newline as a continuous line. Finally, it moves handling of the s->len overflow into the paranoid check. And allows to recover from the disaster.

vsnprintf() adds the trailing '\0' but it does not count it into the number of printed characters. The result is that there is one byte less space for the real characters in the buffer. The broken check for the free space might cause that we will repeatedly try to print 1 character into the buffer, never reach the full buffer, and do not count the messages as missed. Also vsnprintf() returns the number of characters that would be printed if the buffer was big enough. As a result, s->len might be bigger than the size of the buffer[*]. And the printk() function might return bigger len than it really printed. Both problems are fixed by using vscnprintf() instead. Note that I though about increasing the number of missed messages even when the message was shrunken. But it made the code even more complicated. I think that it is not worth it. Shrunken messages are usually easy to recognize. And it should be a corner case. [*] The overflown s->len value is crazy and unexpected. I "made a mistake" and reported this situation as an internal error when fixed handling of PR_CONT headers in some other patch.

format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25% of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does 5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot. With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to this microbenchmark: char buf[4096]; int i, fd; for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY); read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474410485-1305-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

As shown by pcpu_build_alloc_info(), the number of units within a percpu group is deduced by rounding up the number of CPUs within the group to @upa boundary/ Therefore, the number of CPUs isn't equal to the units's if it isn't aligned to @upa normally. However, pcpu_page_first_chunk() uses BUG_ON() to assert that one number is equal to the other roughly, so a panic is maybe triggered by the BUG_ON() incorrectly. In order to fix this issue, the number of CPUs is rounded up then compared with units's and the BUG_ON() is replaced with a warning and return of an error code as well, to keep system alive as much as possible.

In the upcoming gcc7 release, the -fsanitize=kernel-address option at first implied new -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope option. This would cause link errors on older kernels because they don't have two new functions required for use-after-scope support. Therefore, gcc7 changed default to -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope. Now the kernel has everything required for that feature since commit 828347f8 ("kasan: support use-after-scope detection"). So, to make it work, we just have to enable use-after-scope in CFLAGS.

Currently we dedicate 1/32 of RAM for quarantine and then reduce it by 1/4 of total quarantine size. This can be a significant amount of memory. For example, with 4GB of RAM total quarantine size is 128MB and it is reduced by 32MB at a time. With 128GB of RAM total quarantine size is 4GB and it is reduced by 1GB. This leads to several problems: - freeing 1GB can take tens of seconds, causes rcu stall warnings and just introduces unexpected long delays at random places - if kmalloc() is called under a mutex, other threads stall on that mutex while a thread reduces quarantine - threads wait on quarantine_lock while one thread grabs a large batch of objects to evict - we walk the uncached list of object to free twice which makes all of the above worse - when a thread frees objects, they are already not accounted against global_quarantine.bytes; as the result we can have quarantine_size bytes in quarantine + unbounded amount of memory in large batches in threads that are in process of freeing Reduce size of quarantine in smaller batches to reduce the delays. The only reason to reduce it in batches is amortization of overheads, the new batch size of 1MB should be well enough to amortize spinlock lock/unlock and few function calls. Plus organize quarantine as a FIFO array of batches. This allows to not walk the list in quarantine_reduce() under quarantine_lock, which in turn reduces contention and is just faster. This improves performance of heavy load (syzkaller fuzzing) by ~20% with 4 CPUs and 32GB of RAM. Also this eliminates frequent (every 5 sec) drops of CPU consumption from ~400% to ~100% (one thread reduces quarantine while others are waiting on a mutex). Some reference numbers: 1. Machine with 4 CPUs and 4GB of memory. Quarantine size 128MB. Currently we free 32MB at at time. With new code we free 1MB at a time (1024 batches, ~128 are used). 2. Machine with 32 CPUs and 128GB of memory. Quarantine size 4GB. Currently we free 1GB at at time. With new code we free 8MB at a time (1024 batches, ~512 are used). 3. Machine with 4096 CPUs and 1TB of memory. Quarantine size 32GB. Currently we free 8GB at at time. With new code we free 4MB at a time (16K batches, ~8K are used).

If user sets panic_on_warn, he wants kernel to panic if there is anything barely wrong with the kernel. KASAN-detected errors are definitely not less benign than an arbitrary kernel WARNING. Panic after KASAN errors if panic_on_warn is set. We use this for continuous fuzzing where we want kernel to stop and reboot on any error.

Test programs want to know the size of a transparent hugepage. While it is commonly the same as the size of a hugetlbfs page (shown as Hugepagesize in /proc/meminfo), that is not always so: powerpc implements transparent hugepages in a different way from hugetlbfs pages, so it's coincidence when their sizes are the same; and x86 and others can support more than one hugetlbfs page size. Add /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to show the THP size in bytes - it's the same for Anonymous and Shmem hugepages. Call it hpage_pmd_size (after HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) rather than hpage_size, in case some transparent support for pud and pgd pages is added later.

The other pagetable walks in task_mmu.c have a cond_resched() after walking their ptes: add a cond_resched() in gather_pte_stats() too, for reading /proc/<id>/numa_maps. Only pagemap_pmd_range() has a cond_resched() in its (unusually expensive) pmd_trans_huge case: more should probably be added, but leave them unchanged for now.
