BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650112 We have #defines for all the individual sensor registers and value/mask pairs #defined at the top of the file and used at exactly one spot. This is usually good if the #defines give a meaning to the opaque magic numbers. However in this case, the semantic meaning is inherent in the name of the C99-addressable fields, and that means duplication of information, and only makes the code hard to maintain since you every time have to add a new #define AND update the site where it is to be used. Get rid of the #defines and just open code the values into the appropriate struct elements. Make sure to explicitly address the .hz and .value fields in the st_sensor_odr_avl struct so that the meaning of all values is clear. This patch is purely syntactic should have no semantic effect.

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650112 Time to finally kill off the venerable (it was one of my first drivers) lis3l02dq driver in favour of adding support in the st sensors framework. This does loose us the event support that driver always had, but I think that will reappear at some point and in the meantime the maintenance advantages of dropping the 'special' driver for this one part outweigh the issues. It's worth noting this part is ancient and I may well be the only person who still has any on hardware running recent kernels. It has a few 'quirks'. - No WAI register so that just became optional. - A BDU option that really does block updates. Completely. Whatever you do, you don't get any more data with it set. It is documented the same as more modern parts but I presume they are actually clearing for updates after a read of both bytes! - Fixed scale. - It's too quick. Even at slowest rate (280Hz) I can't read out fast enough on my board (stargate 2) to beat new data coming in. Linus' repeat read patch doesn't help in this case. It just means I get 10 readings before dying... So in reality this will get used with software triggers only unless someone has this long out of production device on a quick board. Signed-off-by:

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650112 commit 98ad8b41f58dff6b30713d7f09ae3834b8df7ded ("iio: st_sensors: verify interrupt event to status") caused a regression when reading ST sensors from a HRTimer trigger rather than the intrinsic interrupts: the HRTimer may trigger faster than the sensor provides new values, and as the check against new values available as a cause of the interrupt trigger was done in the poll function, this would bail out of the HRTimer interrupt with IRQ_NONE. So clearly we need to only check the new values available from the proper interrupt handler and not from the poll function, which should rather just read the raw values from the registers, put them into the buffer and be happy. To achieve this: switch the ST Sensors over to using a true threaded interrupt handler. In the interrupt thread, check if new values are available, else yield to the (potential) next device on the same interrupt line to check the registers. If the interrupt was ours, proceed to poll the values. Instead of relying on iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll() as a top half to wake up the thread that polls the sensor for new data, have the thread call iio_trigger_poll_chained() after determining that is is the proper source of the interrupt. This is modelled on drivers/iio/accel/mma8452.c which is already using a properly threaded interrupt handler. In order to get the same precision in timestamps as previously, where samples would be timestamped in the poll function pf->timestamp when calling iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll() we introduce a local timestamp in the sensor data, set it in the top half (fastpath) of the interrupt handler and provide that to the core when calling iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(). Additionally: if the active scanmask is not set for the sensor no IRQs should be enabled and we need to bail out with IRQ_NONE. This can happen if spurious IRQs fire when installing the threaded interrupt handler. Tested with hard interrupt triggers on LIS331DL, then also tested with hrtimers on the same sensor by creating a 75Hz HRTimer and using it to poll the sensor. Signed-off-by:

Add a device tree binding and a sensor data property to flip the right bit in the interrupt control register to enable open drain mode on the INT line. If the line is set to be open drain, also tag on IRQF_SHARED to the IRQ flags when requesting the interrupt, as the whole point of using open drain interrupt lines is to share them with more than one peripheral (wire-or).

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650112 This makes all ST sensor drivers check that they actually have new data available for the requested channel(s) before claiming an IRQ, by reading the status register (which is conveniently the same for all ST sensors) and check that the channel has new data before proceeding to read it and fill the buffer. This way sensors can share an interrupt line: it can be flaged as shared and then the sensor that did not fire will return NO_IRQ, and the sensor that fired will handle the IRQ and return IRQ_HANDLED.

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650112 Most ST MEMS Sensors that support interrupts can also handle sending an active low interrupt, i.e. going from high to low on data ready (or other interrupt) and thus triggering on a falling edge to the interrupt controller. Set up logic to inspect the interrupt line we get for a sensor: if it is triggering on rising edge, leave everything alone, but if it triggers on falling edges, set up active low, and if unsupported configurations appear: warn with errors and reconfigure the interrupt to a rising edge, which all interrupt generating sensors support. Create a local header for st_sensors_core.h to share functions between the sensor core and the trigger setup code.

BugLink: http://launchpad.net/bugs/1647400 wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages without making any progress. We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout even when the BDI wasn't congested. Hence wait_iff_congested was used instead. But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected. We might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and can end up triggering pre mature OOM. This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be usable for our target allocation. This shouldn't reintroduce stalls fixed by 0e093d99 because congestion_wait is called only when we are getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many pages under IO. We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested is not used anymore. As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in the allocation retry cycle.

BugLink: http://launchpad.net/bugs/1647400 __alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry allocation rather than declaring OOM. shrink_zones had to rely on zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up. zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times and restart if a page is freed. This is really subtle behavior and it might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single page. OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any progress for unbounded amount of time. This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as OOM which is per zonelist property. It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic. The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called from __alloc_pages_slowpath. It tries to be more deterministic and easier to follow. It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at least for one zone in the usable zonelist. This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time or even depend on the current allocation context. Therefore there is a backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after each reclaim round without any progress. This means that we should eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the wmark check and proceed to OOM. The backoff is simple and linear with 1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress. We are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds. Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without __GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the requested order. The only difference is that if there was no progress during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check. This is more logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

em_jmp_far and em_ret_far assumed that setting IP can only fail in 64 bit mode, but syzkaller proved otherwise (and SDM agrees). Code segment was restored upon failure, but it was left uninitialized outside of long mode, which could lead to a leak of host kernel stack. We could have fixed that by always saving and restoring the CS, but we take a simpler approach and just break any guest that manages to fail as the error recovery is error-prone and modern CPUs don't need emulator for this.

Currently kill_fasync() is called outside the stream lock in snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). This is potentially racy, since the stream may get released even during the irq handler is running. Although snd_pcm_release_substream() calls snd_pcm_drop(), this doesn't guarantee that the irq handler finishes, thus the kill_fasync() call outside the stream spin lock may be invoked after the substream is detached, as recently reported by KASAN. As a quick workaround, move kill_fasync() call inside the stream lock. The fasync is rarely used interface, so this shouldn't have a big impact from the performance POV. Ideally, we should implement some sync mechanism for the proper finish of stream and irq handler. But this oneliner should suffice for most cases, so far. Reported-by:

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634964 Allow users with CAP_SYS_CHOWN over the superblock of a filesystem to chown files. Ordinarily the capable_wrt_inode_uidgid check is sufficient to allow access to files but when the underlying filesystem has uids or gids that don't map to the current user namespace it is not enough, so the chown permission checks need to be extended to allow this case. Calling chown on filesystem nodes whose uid or gid don't map is necessary if those nodes are going to be modified as writing back inodes which contain uids or gids that don't map is likely to cause filesystem corruption of the uid or gid fields. Once chown has been called the existing capable_wrt_inode_uidgid checks are sufficient, to allow the owner of a superblock to do anything the global root user can do with an appropriate set of capabilities. For the proc filesystem this relaxation of permissions is not safe, as some files are owned by users (particularly GLOBAL_ROOT_UID) outside of the control of the mounter of the proc and that would be unsafe to grant chown access to. So update setattr on proc to disallow changing files whose uids or gids are outside of proc's s_user_ns. The original version of this patch was written by: Seth Forshee. I have rewritten and rethought this patch enough so it's really not the same thing (certainly it needs a different description), but he deserves credit for getting out there and getting the conversation started, and finding the potential gotcha's and putting up with my semi-paranoid feedback.
