Define an own output routine to replace bare use of printk() function. The output routine is implemented with a macro and a helper function, which are named nilfs_msg() and __nilfs_msg(), respectively. __nilfs_msg() formats a message like "NILFS (<device-name>): <message>", prefixing it with a given log level, and terminates the statement with a newline. The "device-name" is optional to make it available in early stages; it will be omitted if a NULL pointer is passed to super block instance argument. nilfs_msg() wraps __nilfs_msg() and is removed if CONFIG_PRINTK is not set.

Simplify nilfs_error(), an output function used to report critical issues in file system. This renames the original nilfs_error() function to __nilfs_error() and redefines it as a macro to hide its function name argument within the macro. Every call site of nilfs_error() is changed to strip __func__ argument except nilfs_bmap_convert_error(); nilfs_bmap_convert_error() directly calls __nilfs_error() because it inherits caller's function name.

A double-bug exists in the bss calculation code, where an overflow can happen in the "last_bss - elf_bss" calculation, but vm_brk internally aligns the argument, underflowing it, wrapping back around safe. We shouldn't depend on these bugs staying in sync, so this cleans up the bss padding handling to avoid the overflow. This moves the bss padzero() before the last_bss > elf_bss case, since the zero-filling of the ELF_PAGE should have nothing to do with the relationship of last_bss and elf_bss: any trailing portion should be zeroed, and a zero size is already handled by padzero(). Then it handles the math on elf_bss vs last_bss correctly. These need to both be ELF_PAGE aligned to get the comparison correct, since that's the expected granularity of the mappings. Since elf_bss already had alignment-based padding happen in padzero(), the "start" of the new vm_brk() should be moved forward as done in the original code. However, since the "end" of the vm_brk() area will already become PAGE_ALIGNed in vm_brk() then last_bss should get aligned here to avoid hiding it as a side-effect. Additionally makes a cosmetic change to the initial last_bss calculation so it's easier to read in comparison to the load_addr calculation above it (i.e. the only difference is p_filesz vs p_memsz).

Signoff was not checked if the filename is '-', indicating reading the patch from stdin. Commands such as the below would not warn about a missing signoff, because the patch filename is '-'. This change allows checkpatch to warn about a missing signoff, even if the input filename is '-', but only if the patch has a commit message. git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl - A more common use of checkpatch with stdin is for piping git diff through checkpatch. The diff output would not contain a commit message, and therefore it would not contain a signoff line. For this common use case, a warning should not be printed about the missing signoff. With this change we will only warn about a missing signoff if the input contains a commit message. git diff | scripts/checkpatch.pl - Before this patch, a workaround for the first command was to refer to stdin by a name other than '-'. The workaround is not an elegant solution, because elsewhere checkpatch uses the fact that filename equals '-', such as in setting '$vname' to 'Your patch' for stdin. The command below would report "/dev/stdin has style problems" instead of "Your patch has style problems." git show --pretty=email | scripts/checkpatch.pl /dev/stdin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/48be31e414bddc65bccfa6b1322359be9ba032eb.1469670589.git.allenbh@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the firmware into the final resting place. This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime. For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from 0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus the vmalloc pressure is reduced. This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160607164741.31849-4-stephen.boyd@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:

Some low memory systems with complex peripherals cannot afford to have the relatively large firmware images taking up valuable memory during suspend and resume.

The drawback is that we can't use the firmware caching feature because the memory for the firmware cache is not managed by the firmware layer. This patch (of 3): We use similar structured code to read and write the kmapped firmware pages. The only difference is read copies from the kmap region and write copies to it. Consolidate this into one function to reduce duplication. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160607164741.31849-2-stephen.boyd@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:

The bottom two bits of radix tree entries are reserved for special use by the radix tree code itself. A comment detailing their usage was added by commit 3bcadd6f ("radix-tree: free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse") This comment states that if the bottom two bits are '11', this means that this is a locked exceptional entry. It turns out that this bit combination was never actually used. Radix tree locking for DAX was indeed implemented, but it actually used the third LSB: /* We use lowest available exceptional entry bit for locking */ #define RADIX_DAX_ENTRY_LOCK (1 << RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL_SHIFT) This locking code was also made specific to the DAX code instead of being generally implemented in radix-tree.h. So, fix the comment. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468997731-2155-1-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

The crc32 test function measures the elapsed time in nanoseconds, but uses 'struct timespec' for that. We want to remove timespec from the kernel for y2038 compatibility, and ktime_get_ns() also helps make the code simpler here.

When a large enough area in the iommu bitmap is found but would span a boundary we continue the search starting from the next bit position. For large allocations this can lead to several useless invocations of bitmap_find_next_zero_area() and iommu_is_span_boundary(). Continue the search from the start of the next segment (which is the next bit position such that we'll not cross the same segment boundary again).

Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options: * ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace. * on - unlimited logging from userspace * off - logging from userspace gets ignored The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it. This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of survival from all the spamming. It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line. Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg. That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime. This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the logging on us through sysctl(2). This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

Extend the ratelimiting facility to print the amount of suppressed lines when it is being released. This use case is aimed at short-termed, burst-like users for which we want to output the suppressed lines stats only once, after it has been disposed of. For an example, see /dev/kmsg usage in a follow-on patch. Also, change the printk() line we issue on release to not use "callbacks" as it is misleading: we're not suppressing callbacks but printk() calls. This has been separated from a previous patch by Linus. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160716061745.15795-2-bp@alien8.deSigned-off-by:

Messages' levels and console log level are inspected when the actual printing occurs, which may provoke console_unlock() and console_cont_flush() to waste CPU cycles on every message that has loglevel above the current console_loglevel. Schematically, console_unlock() does the following: console_unlock() { ... for (;;) { ... raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&logbuf_lock, flags); skip: msg = log_from_idx(console_idx); if (msg->flags & LOG_NOCONS) { ... goto skip; } level = msg->level; len += msg_print_text(); >> sprintfs memcpy, etc. if (nr_ext_console_drivers) { ext_len = msg_print_ext_header(); >> scnprintf ext_len += msg_print_ext_body(); >> scnprintfs etc. } ... raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock); call_console_drivers(level, ext_text, ext_len, text, len) { if (level >= console_loglevel && >> drop the message !ignore_loglevel) return; console->write(...); } local_irq_restore(flags); } ... } The thing here is this deferred `level >= console_loglevel' check. We are wasting CPU cycles on sprintfs/memcpy/etc. preparing the messages that we will eventually drop. This can be huge when we register a new CON_PRINTBUFFER console, for instance. For every such a console register_console() resets the console_seq, console_idx, console_prev and sets a `exclusive console' pointer to replay the log buffer to that just-registered console. And there can be a lot of messages to replay, in the worst case most of which can be dropped after console_loglevel test. We know messages' levels long before we call msg_print_text() and friends, so we can just move console_loglevel check out of call_console_drivers() and format a new message only if we are sure that it won't be dropped. The patch factors out loglevel check into suppress_message_printing() function and tests message->level and console_loglevel before formatting functions in console_unlock() and console_cont_flush() are getting executed. This improves things not only for exclusive CON_PRINTBUFFER consoles, but for every console_unlock() that attempts to print a message of level above the console_loglevel.

UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma. That means a lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is the only stranger. We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds. One could argue that a decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug. But the dependency not obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when developing a device driver. A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon runtime. Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML. Since it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support let's do the latter. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466152995-28367-1-git-send-email-richard@nod.atSigned-off-by:

Suppress a bunch of warnings of the form: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: In function 'show_smap_vma_flags': fs/proc/task_mmu.c:635:22: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Wt override-init] [ilog2(VM_READ)] = "rd", ^~~~ fs/proc/task_mmu.c:635:22: note: (near initialization for 'mnemonics[0]') They happen because of the way we intentionally build the table, so silence the warning when building with 'make W=1'.

/proc/stat shows (among lots of other things) the current boottime (i.e. number of seconds since boot). While a 32-bit number is sufficient for this particular case, we want to get rid of the 'struct timespec' suffers from a 32-bit overflow in 2038. This changes the code to use a struct timespec64, which is known to be safe in all cases. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160617201247.2292101-1-arnd@arndb.deSigned-off-by:

This was needed before to ensure that ->signal != 0 and do_each_thread() is safe, see commit b95c35e7 ("oom: fix the unsafe usage of badness() in proc_oom_score()") for details. Today tsk->signal can't go away and for_each_thread(tsk) is always safe. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160608211921.GA15508@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

handle_object_size_mismatch() used %pk to format a kernel pointer with pr_err(). This seemed to be a misspelling for %pK, but using this to format a kernel pointer does not make much sence here. Therefore use %p instead, like in handle_missaligned_access(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160730083010.11569-1-nicolas.iooss_linux@m4x.orgSigned-off-by:
