check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by "softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks absolutely wrong. - rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this task_struct. - The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD. For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current) long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit(). Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task() was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop. Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop the reference to the task_struct. Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can livelock. This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the "max_count" logic saves us anyway.

Now that CLONE_VFORK is killable, coredump_wait() no longer needs complete_vfork_done(). zap_threads() should find and kill all tasks with the same ->mm, this includes our parent if ->vfork_done is set. mm_release() becomes the only caller, unexport complete_vfork_done().

Make vfork() killable. Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared with our child. However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other. Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs some complications. NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including SIGKILL/SIGSTOP. However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

Bart Van Assche reported a hung fio process when either hot-removing storage or when interrupting the fio process itself.

It will opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the events. In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead, so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters. Unfortunately, the code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

register_kprobe() aborts if the address of the new request falls in a prohibited area (such as ftrace pouch, __kprobes annotated functions, non-kernel text addresses, jump label text). We however don't return the right error on this abort, resulting in a silent failure - incorrect adding/reporting of kprobes ('perf probe do_fork+18' or 'perf probe mcount' for instance). In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's feedback. This patch fixes it by returning -EINVAL upon failure. While we are here, rename the label used for exit to be more appropriate.

Since commit 04c6862c ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot. This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in reboot as a result. This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a reboot was cleanly requested or not.

Allow array field values out of range as per HID 1.11 specification, section 6.2.25: Rather than returning a single bit for each button in the group, an array returns an index in each field that corresponds to the pressed button (like keyboard scan codes). An out-of range value in and array field is considered no controls asserted. Apparently, "and" above is a typo and should be "an". This fixes at least Waltop tablet pen clicks - otherwise BTN_TOUCH is never released. The relevant part of Waltop tablet report descriptors is this: 0x09, 0x42, /* Usage (Tip Switch), */ 0x09, 0x44, /* Usage (Barrel Switch), */ 0x09, 0x46, /* Usage (Tablet Pick), */ 0x15, 0x01, /* Logical Minimum (1), */ 0x25, 0x03, /* Logical Maximum (3), */ 0x75, 0x04, /* Report Size (4), */ 0x95, 0x01, /* Report Count (1), */ 0x80, /* Input, */ This is a regression fix for commit b4b583d4 ("HID: be more strict when ignoring out-of-range fields").

It's only used inside fs/dcache.c, and we're going to play games with it for the word-at-a-time patches. This time we really don't even want to export it, because it really is an internal function to fs/dcache.c, and has been since it was introduced. Having it in that extremely hot header file (it's included in pretty much everything, thanks to <linux/fs.h>) is a disaster for testing different versions, and is utterly pointless. We really should have some kind of header file diet thing, where we figure out which parts of header files are really better off private and only result in more expensive compiles.

Even if cards supports 1.8V I/O voltage those should anyway be initialized at 3.3V I/O according to (e)MMC, SD and SDIO specs. Some eMMC and embedded SDIO devices are able to be initialized at 1.8V as well, but it is better to be safe. Do note that initialization in this context means that the card has been completely powered off, otherwise the card will remain at the last I/O voltage level that were negotitiated. Due to the above being taken care of the suspend/resume issues for UHS-I SD-cards has been fixed.

On i.MX53 we have to write a special SDHCI_CMD_ABORTCMD to the SDHCI_TRANSFER_MODE register during a MMC_STOP_TRANSMISSION command. This works for SD cards. However, with MMC cards the MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT command is used instead, but this needs the same handling. Fix MMC cards by testing for the MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT command aswell. Tested on a custom i.MX53 board with a Transcend MMC+ card and eMMC. The kernel started used MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT in 3.0, so this is a regression for these boards introduced in 3.0; it should go to 3.0/3.1/3.2-stable.

Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
A recent commit "mmc: core: Use delayed work in clock gating framework" (597dd9d7) introduced a default 200ms delay before clock gating actually takes place. This means that every time an MMC interface becomes idle it first stays on for 200ms before gating its clock. This leads to increased power consumption and is therefore a clear regression. This patch restores the original behaviour by setting the default delay to 0. Users prioritising throughput over power efficiency can still modify the delay via sysfs.

The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel. And I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up into a separate helper function. So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a helper function called "hash_name()". It returns the length of the pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the hash to the appropriate location. The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to read too. And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the "hash_name()" function with alternative implementations. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it. There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly. But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and uninlining it sets the stage for that. So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics, and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry name accessor patch.

Nikolaus Schulz authored
The F75387 supports automatic fan control using either PWM duty cycle or RPM speed values. Make the driver detect the latter mode, and expose the different modes in sysfs as per pwm_enable, so that the user can switch between them. The interpretation of the pwm_enable attribute for the F75387 is adjusted to be a superset of those values used for similar Fintek chips which do not support automatic duty mode, with 2 mapping to automatic speed mode, and moving automatic duty mode to the new value 4. Toggling the duty mode via pwm_enable is currently denied for the F75387, as the chip then simply reinterprets the fan configuration register values according to the new mode, switching between RPM and PWM units, which makes this a dangerous operation. This patch introduces a new pwm mode into the driver. This is necessary because the new mode (automatic pwm mode, 4) may already be enabled by the BIOS, and the driver should not break existing functionality. This was seen on at least one board.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control register and SVM is disabled in EFER. This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled. The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is disabled the counter should not run at all and the not-counting is the intended behaviour.
