norm7 produces the 'normalized' name of a litmus test, when the test can be generated from a single cycle that passes through each process exactly once. The commit renames such tests in order to comply to the naming scheme implemented by this tool. Signed-off-by:

The tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt file says "For each other CPU C', smb_wmb() forces all po-earlier stores" This commit therefore replaces the "smb_wmb()" with "smp_wmb()". Signed-off-by:

Both the implementation and the users' expectation [1] for the various wakeup primitives have evolved over time, but the documentation has not kept up with these changes: brings it into 2018.

There are 11 interpretations of the requirements described in the header comment for smp_mb__after_spinlock(): one for each LKMM maintainer, and one currently encoded in the Cat file. Stick to the latter (until a more satisfactory solution is available). This also reworks some snippets related to the barrier to illustrate the requirements and to link them to the idioms which are relied upon at its call sites. Suggested-by:

wake_woken_function() synchronizes with wait_woken() as follows: [wait_woken] [wake_woken_function] entry->flags &= ~wq_flag_woken; condition = true; smp_mb(); smp_wmb(); if (condition) wq_entry->flags |= wq_flag_woken; break; This commit replaces the above smp_wmb() with an smp_mb() in order to guarantee that either wait_woken() sees the wait condition being true or the store to wq_entry->flags in woken_wake_function() follows the store in wait_woken() in the coherence order (so that the former can eventually be observed by wait_woken()). The commit also fixes a comment associated to set_current_state() in wait_woken(): the comment pairs the barrier in set_current_state() to the above smp_wmb(), while the actual pairing involves the barrier in set_current_state() and the barrier executed by the try_to_wake_up() in wake_woken_function().

The Linux-kernel memory model has been informal, with a number of text files documenting it. It would be good to make sure that these informal descriptions are kept up to date and/or pruned appropriately. This commit therefore brings more of those text files into the LKMM MAINTAINERS file entry. Signed-off-by:

The names on the first line of the litmus tests are arbitrary, but the convention is that they be the filename without the trailing ".litmus". This commit therefore removes the stray trailing ".litmus" from ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce.litmus's name. Reported-by:

This commit adds a litmus test suggested by Alan Stern that is forbidden on fully multicopy atomic systems, but allowed on other-multicopy and on non-multicopy atomic systems. For reference, s390 is fully multicopy atomic, x86 and ARMv8 are other-multicopy atomic, and ARMv7 and powerpc are non-multicopy atomic. Suggested-by:

Merge tag 'omap-for-v4.18/fixes-rc4-signed' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes Two omap fixes for v4.18-rc cycle Turns out the recent patches for ARM branch predictor hardening are not working on omap5 and dra7 as planned because the secondary CPU is parked to the bootrom code. We can't configure it in the bootloader. So we must enable invalidates of BTB for omap5 and dra7 secondary core in the kernel. And there's a fix for reserved register access for am3517. The usb otg module on am3517 is not the same as for other omap3. * tag 'omap-for-v4.18/fixes-rc4-signed' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: ARM: dts: am3517.dtsi: Disable reference to OMAP3 OTG controller ARM: DRA7/OMAP5: Enable ACTLR[0] (Enable invalidates of BTB) for secondary cores Signed-off-by:

ReiserFS prepares log messages into a 1024-byte buffer with no bounds checks. Long messages, such as the "unknown mount option" warning when userspace passes a crafted mount options string, overflow this buffer. This causes KASAN to report a global-out-of-bounds write. Fix it by truncating messages to the buffer size.

There is no reason to bug on that though. do_brk_flags already aligns the length properly so the mapping is expanded as it should. All we need is to tell mm_populate about it. Besides that there is absolutely no reason to to bug_on in the first place. The worst thing that could happen is that the last page wouldn't get populated and that is far from putting system into an inconsistent state. Fix the issue by moving the length sanitization code from do_brk_flags up to vm_brk_flags. The only other caller of do_brk_flags is brk syscall entry and it makes sure to provide the proper length so t here is no need for sanitation and so we can use do_brk_flags without it. Also remove the bogus BUG_ONs.

- Build the kernel without the fix - Add some flag to the purgatories KBUILD_CFLAGS,I used -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables - Re-build the kernel When you look at makes output you see that sha256.o is not re-build in the last step. Also readelf -S still shows the .eh_frame section for sha256.o. With the fix sha256.o is rebuilt in the last step. Without FORCE make does not detect changes only made to the command line options. So object files might not be re-built even when they should be. Fix this by adding FORCE where it is missing.

In my testing, the second mount will fail after umounting successfully. The reason is that we put refcount of trans_mod in the correct case rather than the error case in parse_opts() at last. That will cause the refcount decrease to -1, and when we try to get trans_mod again in try_module_get(), we could only increase refcount to 0 which will cause failure as follows: parse_opts v9fs_get_trans_by_name try_module_get : return NULL to caller which cause error So we should put refcount of trans_mod in error case.

The mmu_gather APIs keep track of the invalidated address range including the span covered by invalidated page table pages. Ranges covered by page tables but not ptes (and therefore no TLBs) still need to be invalidated because some architectures (x86) can cache intermediate page table entries, and invalidate those with normal TLB invalidation instructions to be almost-backward-compatible. Architectures which don't cache intermediate page table entries, or which invalidate these caches separately from TLB invalidation, do not require TLB invalidation range expanded over page tables. Allow architectures to supply their own p??_free_tlb functions, which can avoid the __tlb_adjust_range. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180703013131.2807-1-npiggin@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Thomas reports: "While looking around in /proc on my v4.14.52 system I noticed that all processes got a lot of "Locked" memory in /proc/*/smaps. A lot more memory than a regular user can usually lock with mlock(). Commit 493b0e9d (in v4.14-rc1) seems to have changed the behavior of "Locked". Before that commit the code was like this. Notice the VM_LOCKED check. (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED) ? (unsigned long)(mss.pss >> (10 + PSS_SHIFT)) : 0); After that commit Locked is now the same as Pss: (unsigned long)(mss->pss >> (10 + PSS_SHIFT))); This looks like a mistake." Indeed, the commit has added mss->pss_locked with the correct value that depends on VM_LOCKED, but forgot to actually use it. Fix it.

KVM guests on s390 can notify the host of unused pages. This can result in pte_unused callbacks to be true for KVM guest memory. If a page is unused (checked with pte_unused) we might drop this page instead of paging it. This can have side-effects on userfaultd, when the page in question was already migrated: The next access of that page will trigger a fault and a user fault instead of faulting in a new and empty zero page. As QEMU does not expect a userfault on an already migrated page this migration will fail. The most straightforward solution is to ignore the pte_unused hint if a userfault context is active for this VMA.

We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical memory, or kernel does not have access to. Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in e820. Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting commit 124049de ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into memblock.reserved") fixes the issue. The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they were setup. The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of struct pages. A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in zero_resv_unavail(). Fixes: 124049de ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into memblock.reserved") Signed-off-by:
