Make sure RTC-interrupts are disabled at shutdown. As the RTC is generally powered by backup power (VDDBU), its interrupts are not disabled on wake-up, user, watchdog or software reset. This could cause troubles on other systems (e.g. older kernels) if an interrupt occurs before a handler has been installed at next boot. Let us be well-behaved and disable them on clean shutdowns at least (as do the RTT-based rtc-at91sam9 driver).

Commit 7cb2ef56 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the tail_page->private field. Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in both cases. The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to avoid memory corruption. A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is relevant for the compound_lock path too). By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound pages, this also fixes the below problem: echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:59a01 page:ffffea000139b038 count:0 mapcount:10 mapping: (null) index:0x0 page flags: 0x1c00000000008000(tail) Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 2018 Comm: bash Not tainted 3.12.0+ #25 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x55/0x76 bad_page+0xd5/0x130 free_pages_prepare+0x213/0x280 __free_pages+0x36/0x80 update_and_free_page+0xc1/0xd0 free_pool_huge_page+0xc2/0xe0 set_max_huge_pages.part.58+0x14c/0x220 nr_hugepages_store_common.isra.60+0xd0/0xf0 nr_hugepages_store+0x13/0x20 kobj_attr_store+0xf/0x20 sysfs_write_file+0x189/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xc5/0x1f0 SyS_write+0x55/0xb0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Tested-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@oracle.com> Cc: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When IPC_RMID races with other shm operations there's potential for use-after-free of the shm object's associated file (shm_file). Here's the race before this patch: TASK 1 TASK 2 ------ ------ shm_rmid() ipc_lock_object() shmctl() shp = shm_obtain_object_check() shm_destroy() shum_unlock() fput(shp->shm_file) ipc_lock_object() shmem_lock(shp->shm_file) <OOPS> The oops is caused because shm_destroy() calls fput() after dropping the ipc_lock. fput() clears the file's f_inode, f_path.dentry, and f_path.mnt, which causes various NULL pointer references in task 2. I reliably see the oops in task 2 if with shmlock, shmu This patch fixes the races by: 1) set shm_file=NULL in shm_destroy() while holding ipc_object_lock(). 2) modify at risk operations to check shm_file while holding ipc_object_lock(). Example workloads, which each trigger oops... Workload 1: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shm_rmid $id & shmlock $id & wait done The oops stack shows accessing NULL f_inode due to racing fput: _raw_spin_lock shmem_lock SyS_shmctl Workload 2: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shmat $id 4096 & shm_rmid $id & wait done The oops stack is similar to workload 1 due to NULL f_inode: touch_atime shmem_mmap shm_mmap mmap_region do_mmap_pgoff do_shmat SyS_shmat Workload 3: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shmlock $id shm_rmid $id & shmunlock $id & wait done The oops stack shows second fput tripping on an NULL f_inode. The first fput() completed via from shm_destroy(), but a racing thread did a get_file() and queued this fput(): locks_remove_flock __fput ____fput task_work_run do_notify_resume int_signal Fixes: c2c737a0 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmat") Fixes: 2caacaa8 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl") Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.10.17+ 3.11.6+ Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page() for hugetlbfs and thp pages: if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page)) copy_huge_page(newpage, page); So, yay for code reuse. But: void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src) { struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src); and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs page order, it works. But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate: void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src) { struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src); if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) { ... Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.

A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end before configfs_d_iput is called. In this window, if a lookup happen, since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be updated to the new dentry. Then in configfs_d_iput(), BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic. sys_open: sys_close: ... fput dput dentry_kill __d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here, but sd->dentry still point to this dentry. lookup_real configfs_lookup configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry to new allocated dentry here. d_kill configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) triggered here. To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd beside the one that is going to be put. Use configfs_dirent_lock in configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput. With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug. 1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and fill configure in it. 2. run the following script. while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done & while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done & Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on making sure it was all finalized. The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged with gcc, so we are all good. Oh and we actually missed the actual Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug fixes. I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way. Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI, but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one. We'll bring fixes for that after -rc1. Here's Anton log that goes with this series: This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig. ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should be merged into glibc soon. There are a number of very nice improvements including the removal of function descriptors. Rusty's kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the transition" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2 powerpc: Add pseries_le_defconfig powerpc: Add CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN kernel config option. powerpc: Don't use ELFv2 ABI to build the kernel powerpc: ELF2 binaries signal handling powerpc: ELF2 binaries launched directly. powerpc: Set eflags correctly for ELF ABIv2 core dumps. powerpc: Add TIF_ELF2ABI flag. pseries: Add H_SET_MODE to change exception endianness powerpc/pseries: Fix endian issues in pseries EEH code

This reverts commit ea1e7ed3. Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree. Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me. Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything. If we really do want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo the patch fully.

Ulrich Weigand authored
I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still fails on little-endian. The problem turned to be that the kernel installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI record for that trampoline. This CFI describes the save location for CR: rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE)) which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on little-endian. This is wrong no matter which ABI. In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately. Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions). However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not actually wrong, they just will be ignored. So it seems the simplest fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

Little endian ppc64 is getting an exciting new ABI. This is reflected by the bottom two bits of e_flags in the ELF header: 0 == legacy binaries (v1 ABI) 1 == binaries using the old ABI (compiled with a new toolchain) 2 == binaries using the new ABI. We store this in a thread flag, because we need to set it in core dumps and for signal delivery. Our chief concern is that it doesn't use function descriptors.

Also remove redundant files (bitsperlong.h, errno.h, fcntl.h, ioctl.h, ioctls.h, ipcbuf.h, kvm_para.h, mman.h, poll.h, resource.h, siginfo.h, statfs.h, and unistd.h) which are already in Kbuild. Also be sure that all "#endif" only have one empty line above, and each file has guard macro.

This patch fixes following error (for big kernels): ---8<--- arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table': (.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `bad_return': (.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o --->8--- It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in 'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just 10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated before in 8d29b7b9. One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address and just load the $pc with that value.

Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in _start, but also not before jump to panic() in no_tag_table case). This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic() in no_tag_table.

This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block() that directly decompresses into the page cache. This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables direct copying into the page cache without using the slow kmap/kunmap calls. The code detects when multiple threads are racing in squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids this regression by falling back to using an intermediate buffer. This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

Restructure squashfs_readpage() splitting it into separate functions for datablocks, fragments and sparse blocks. Move the memcpying (from squashfs cache entry) implementation of squashfs_readpage_block into file_cache.c This allows different implementations to be supported.

Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors to access and process the output buffers in an implementation independant manner. This allows different types of output buffer to be passed to the decompressors, with the implementation specific aspects handled at decompression time, but without the knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code. This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs cache buffers, and page cache pages. This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for the caches.

Add a multi-threaded decompression implementation which uses percpu variables. Using percpu variables has advantages and disadvantages over implementations which do not use percpu variables. Advantages: * the nature of percpu variables ensures decompression is load-balanced across the multiple cores. * simplicity. Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.

The decompressor interface and code was written from the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor implementations. This patch does the following: 1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors, without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each time. 2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with the decompressor implementation. 3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c. The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c files with specialised implementations of the functions in decompressor_single.c Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
