Commit 4fe9e1d9 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock") switched to the memblock allocator, but missed to zero-initialize the newly allocated memblocks. This lead to crashes on some machines like the rp3410. Fixes: 4fe9e1d9 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock") Signed-off-by:

Architecturally we need to keep __gp below 0x1000000. But because of ftrace and tracepoint support, the RO_DATA_SECTION now gets much bigger than it was before. By moving the linkage tables before RO_DATA_SECTION we can avoid that __gp gets positioned at a too high address. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.4+ Signed-off-by: -

Increase the initial kernel default page mapping size for 64-bit kernels to 64 MB and for 32-bit kernels to 32 MB. Due to the additional support of ftrace, tracepoint and huge pages the kernel size can exceed the sizes we used up to now. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.4+ Signed-off-by:

This file was only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile this file.

Pull ARM SoC late DT updates from Arnd Bergmann: "These updates have been kept in a separate branch mostly because they rely on updates to the respective clk drivers to keep the shared header files in sync. - The Renesas r8a7796 (R-Car M3-W) platform gets added, this is an automotive SoC similar to the ⅹ8a7795 chip we already support, but the dts changes rely on a clock driver change that has been merged for v4.9 through the clk tree. - The Amlogic meson-gxbb (S905) platform gains support for a few drivers merged through our tree, in particular the network and usb driver changes are required and included here, and also the clk tree changes. - The Allwinner platforms have seen a large-scale change to their clk drivers and the dts file updates must come after that. This includes the newly added Nextthing GR8 platform, which is derived from sun5i/A13. - Some integrator (arm32) changes rely on clk driver changes. - A single patch for lpc32xx has no such dependency but wasn't added until just before the merge window" * tag 'armsoc-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (99 commits) ARM: dts: lpc32xx: add device node for IRAM on-chip memory ARM: dts: sun8i: Add accelerometer to polaroid-mid2407pxe03 ARM: dts: sun8i: enable UART1 for iNet D978 Rev2 board ARM: dts: sun8i: add pinmux for UART1 at PG dts: sun8i-h3: add I2C0-2 peripherals to H3 SOC dts: sun8i-h3: add pinmux definitions for I2C0-2 dts: sun8i-h3: associate exposed UARTs on Orange Pi Boards dts: sun8i-h3: split off RTS/CTS for UART1 in seperate pinmux dts: sun8i-h3: add pinmux definitions for UART2-3 ARM: dts: sun9i: a80-optimus: Disable EHCI1 ARM: dts: sun9i: cubieboard4: Add AXP806 PMIC device node and regulators ARM: dts: sun9i: a80-optimus: Add AXP806 PMIC device node and regulators ARM: dts: sun9i: cubieboard4: Declare AXP809 SW regulator as unused ARM: dts: sun9i: a80-optimus: Declare AXP809 SW regulator as unused ARM: dts: sun8i: Add touchscreen node for sun8i-a33-ga10h ARM: dts: sun8i: Add touchscreen node for sun8i-a23-polaroid-mid2809pxe04 ARM: dts: sun8i: Add touchscreen node for sun8i-a23-polaroid-mid2407pxe03 ARM: dts: sun8i: Add touchscreen node for sun8i-a23-inet86dz ARM: dts: sun8i: Add touchscreen node for sun8i-a23-gt90h ARM64: dts: meson-gxbb-vega-s95: Enable USB Nodes ... -

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann: "The cleanups for v4.9 are a little larger that usual, but thankfully that is almost exclusively due to removing a significant number of files that have become obsolete after the still ongoing conversion of old board files to devicetree. - for mach-omap2, which is still the largest platform in arch/arm/, the conversion to DT is finally complete after the Nokia N900 is now fully supported there, along with the omap3 LDP, and we can remove those two board files. If no regressions are found, another large cleanup for the platform will happen as a follow-up, removing dead code and restructuring the platform based on being DT-only. - In mach-imx, similar work is ongoing, but has not come that far. This time, we remove the obsolete board file for the i.MX1 generation, which like i.MX25, i.MX5, i.MX6, and i.MX7 is now DT-only. The remaining board files are for i.MX2 and i.MX3 machines based on old ARM926 or ARM1136 cores that should work with DT in principle. - realview has just been converted from board files to DT, and a lot of code gets removed in the process. This is the last ARM/Keil/Versatile derived platform that was still using board files, the other ones being integrator, versatile and vexpress.

If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other has been selected at the time of its registration. This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when the stdout-path console is later registered the call to add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output: Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled. When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be enabled as expected.

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D array. If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable (140/148 bytes). But if it is not, code allocates full page (!) regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry array. 2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to optimize them (gid is never known at compile time). All of the above is unnecessary. Switch to the usual trailing-zero-len-array scheme. Memory is allocated with kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed. Accesses become simpler (LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement). Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes. I think kernel can handle such allocation. On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay! Nice side effects: - "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing, - fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot, - aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

Previously tile was rolling its own method of capturing backtrace data in the NMI handlers, but it was relying on running printk() from the NMI handler, which is not always safe. So adopt the nmi_backtrace model (with the new cpumask extension) instead. So we can call the nmi_backtrace code directly from the nmi handler, move the nmi_enter()/exit() into the top-level tile NMI handler. The semantics of the routine change slightly since it is now synchronous with the remote cores completing the backtraces. Previously it was asynchronous, but with protection to avoid starting a new remote backtrace if the old one was still in progress.

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI. Similarly, the forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not support generating an NMI to self. Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of the current cpu. It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack() will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI handler. The register state will be missing, but that state is likely not particularly helpful in any case. Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to nmi_cpu_backtrace().

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9. This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small improvements along the way. The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu. I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone with platform experience in follow-up patches. This patch (of 4): Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to support a cpumask as the underlying primitive. This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use the new "cpumask" method instead. The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to using the new cpumask approach in this change. The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach. The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

When the next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows: if (last_addr) { vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr); if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma))) return vma; } However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, e.g: The process VMA list is A->B->C->D CPU 0 CPU 1 read() system call handle VMA B version = B return to userspace unmap VMA B issue read() again to continue to get the region info find_vma(version) will get VMA C m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D handle D !!! VMA C is lost !!! In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the end address of the current VMA. m_start will then look up a vma which with vma_start < last_vm_end and moves on to the next vma if we found the same or an overlapping vma. This will guarantee that we will not miss an exclusive vma but we can still miss one if the previous vma was shrunk. This is acceptable because guaranteeing "never miss a vma" is simply not feasible. User has to cope with some inconsistencies if the file is not read in one go.

In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p == current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't. Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns (which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method). This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking the CAP_SYS_NICE value.

When an interface to allow a task to change another tasks timerslack was first proposed, it was suggested that something greater then CAP_SYS_NICE would be needed, as a task could be delayed further then what normally could be done with nice adjustments. So CAP_SYS_PTRACE was adopted instead for what became the /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns interface. However, for Android (where this feature originates), giving the system_server CAP_SYS_PTRACE would allow it to observe and modify all tasks memory. This is considered too high a privilege level for only needing to change the timerslack. After some discussion, it was realized that a CAP_SYS_NICE process can set a task as SCHED_FIFO, so they could fork some spinning processes and set them all SCHED_FIFO 99, in effect delaying all other tasks for an infinite amount of time. So as a CAP_SYS_NICE task can already cause trouble for other tasks, using it as a required capability for accessing and modifying /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns seems sufficient. Thus, this patch loosens the capability requirements to CAP_SYS_NICE and removes CAP_SYS_PTRACE, simplifying some of the code flow as well. This is technically an ABI change, but as the feature just landed in 4.6, I suspect no one is yet using it.

This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2. The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available. It seems it was needed when not every arch defined it. However as of current code the Kconfig option seems needless - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and define the API in their headers So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option Compile tested for: - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - ia64 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473703083-8625-3-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.comSigned-off-by:
