There were few episodes of silent downgrade to an executable stack over years: 1) linking innocent looking assembly file will silently add executable stack if proper linker options is not given as well: $ cat f.S .intel_syntax noprefix .text .globl f f: ret $ cat main.c void f(void); int main(void) { f(); return 0; } $ gcc main.c f.S $ readelf -l ./a.out GNU_STACK 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 RWE 0x10 ^^^ 2) converting C99 nested function into a closure https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/11/15/ void intsort2(int *base, size_t nmemb, _Bool invert) { int cmp(const void *a, const void *b) { int r = *(int *)a - *(int *)b; return invert ? -r : r; } qsort(base, nmemb, sizeof(*base), cmp); } will silently require stack trampolines while non-closure version will not. Without doubt this behaviour is documented somewhere, add a warning so that developers and users can at least notice. After so many years of x86_64 having proper executable stack support it should not cause too many problems.

This message leads to thinking that memory protection is not implemented for the said architecture, whereas absence of CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX only means that memory protection has not been selected at compile time. Don't print this message when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected by the architecture. Instead, print "Kernel memory protection not selected by kernel config."

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2. unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the function is broken for quoted command line arguments. When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line has param\0"value\0 with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results in param=value\0\0 and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead code. This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param: 1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be placed in init's environment. 2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param=' against the existing environment. So passing, for example, TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment. Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is unnecessarily verbose. Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now and the repairing is no longer necessary. Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param. This patch (of 3): Commit a99cd112 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function. When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the actual location of the value. The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's environment. Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling repair_env_string instead of relying on val. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191212180023.24339-4-nivedita@alum.mit.eduSigned-off-by:

Since commit 08746a65 ("init: fix in-place parameter modification regression"), parse_args in do_initcall_level is called on a copy of saved_command_line. It is unnecessary to call repair_env_string during this parsing, as this copy is not used for anything later. Remove the now unnecessary arguments from repair_env_string as well.

ext2_swab() is defined locally in lib/find_bit.c However it is not specific to ext2, neither to bitmaps. There are many potential users of it, so rename it to just swab() and move to include/uapi/linux/swab.h ABI guarantees that size of unsigned long corresponds to BITS_PER_LONG, therefore drop unneeded cast.

In order to benefit from s390 zlib hardware compression support, increase the btrfs zlib workspace buffer size from 1 to 4 pages (if s390 zlib hardware support is enabled on the machine). This brings up to 60% better performance in hardware on s390 compared to the PAGE_SIZE buffer and much more compared to the software zlib processing in btrfs. In case of memory pressure, fall back to a single page buffer during workspace allocation. The data compressed with larger input buffers will still conform to zlib standard and thus can be decompressed also on a systems that uses only PAGE_SIZE buffer for btrfs zlib.

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3. With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU) with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of magnitude faster than the current zlib. This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib. The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation: https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410 The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel. Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction. Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32 checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will always happen in hardware (when enabled). Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway. The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to configure s390 zlib hardware support: Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always } on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on level 1 and decompression (default) off: No s390 zlib hardware support def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate only (compression on level 1) inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate only (decompression) always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression level always using hardware support (used for debugging) The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch 6) the following performance results have been achieved using the ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate and compression ratio for zlib level 1: Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00 random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96 ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94 binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02 This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib. Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual workload, configuration and software levels. This patch (of 9): Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.

Patch series "add header file for kelvin to/from Celsius conversion helpers", v4. There are several helper macros to convert kelvin to/from Celsius in <linux/thermal.h> for thermal drivers. These are useful for any other drivers or subsystems, but it's odd to include <linux/thermal.h> just for the helpers. This adds a new <linux/units.h> that provides the equivalent inline functions for any drivers or subsystems, and switches all the users of conversion helpers in <linux/thermal.h> to use <linux/units.h> helpers. This patch (of 12): There are several helper macros to convert kelvin to/from Celsius in <linux/thermal.h> for thermal drivers. These are useful for any other drivers or subsystems, but it's odd to include <linux/thermal.h> just for the helpers. This adds a new <linux/units.h> that provides the equivalent inline functions for any drivers or subsystems. It is intended to replace the helpers in <linux/thermal.h>.

Currently when an error code -EIO or -ENOSPC in the for-loop of writeback_store the error code is being overwritten by a ret = len assignment at the end of the function and the error codes are being lost. Fix this by assigning ret = len at the start of the function and remove the assignment from the end, hence allowing ret to be preserved when error codes are assigned to it.

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are different. Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the pages, if we check the first element with the last element before looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly detect non-same element pages. 1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch) 2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages) 3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration number and measures the speed at off-line Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes = 512. The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled() function only. The result, on average, is listed as below: Num of Iter Speed(MB/s) Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265 Looping-Backward 36 102725 Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072 The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and the speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not increase the overall time complexity, though. I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

memory_block structure elements 'hw' and 'phys_callback' are not getting used. This was originally added with commit 3947be19 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") but never seem to have been used. Just drop them now.
