The kobj_type default_attrs field is being replaced by the default_groups field. Replace padata_attr_type's default_attrs field with default_groups and use the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to create padata_default_groups. This patch was tested by loading the pcrypt module and verifying that the sysfs files for the attributes in the default groups were created.

kobj_type currently uses a list of individual attributes to store default attributes. Attribute groups are more flexible than a list of attributes because groups provide support for attribute visibility. So, add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type. In future patches, the existing uses of kobj_type’s attribute list will be converted to attribute groups. When that is complete, kobj_type’s attribute list, “default_attrs”, will be removed.

In commit 376991db ("driver core: Postpone DMA tear-down until after devres release"), we changed the ordering of tearing down the device DMA ops and releasing all the device's resources; this was because the DMA ops should be maintained until we release the device's managed DMA memories. However, we have seen another crash on an arm64 system when a device driver probe fails: hisi_sas_v3_hw 0000:74:02.0: Adding to iommu group 2 scsi host1: hisi_sas_v3_hw BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:313f5 page:ffff7e0000c4fd40 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 flags: 0xfffe00000001000(reserved) raw: 0fffe00000001000 ffff7e0000c4fd48 ffff7e0000c4fd48 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE flag(s) set bad because of flags: 0x1000(reserved) Modules linked in: CPU: 49 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.1.0-rc1-43081-g22d97fd-dirty #1433 Hardware name: Huawei D06/D06, BIOS Hisilicon D06 UEFI RC0 - V1.12.01 01/29/2019 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x118 show_stack+0x14/0x1c dump_stack+0xa4/0xc8 bad_page+0xe4/0x13c free_pages_check_bad+0x4c/0xc0 __free_pages_ok+0x30c/0x340 __free_pages+0x30/0x44 __dma_direct_free_pages+0x30/0x38 dma_direct_free+0x24/0x38 dma_free_attrs+0x9c/0xd8 dmam_release+0x20/0x28 release_nodes+0x17c/0x220 devres_release_all+0x34/0x54 really_probe+0xc4/0x2c8 driver_probe_device+0x58/0xfc device_driver_attach+0x68/0x70 __driver_attach+0x94/0xdc bus_for_each_dev+0x5c/0xb4 driver_attach+0x20/0x28 bus_add_driver+0x14c/0x200 driver_register+0x6c/0x124 __pci_register_driver+0x48/0x50 sas_v3_pci_driver_init+0x20/0x28 do_one_initcall+0x40/0x25c kernel_init_freeable+0x2b8/0x3c0 kernel_init+0x10/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:313f6 page:ffff7e0000c4fd80 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 [ 89.322983] flags: 0xfffe00000001000(reserved) raw: 0fffe00000001000 ffff7e0000c4fd88 ffff7e0000c4fd88 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000 The crash occurs for the same reason.

If user updates any cpu's cpu_capacity, then the new value is going to be applied to all its online sibling cpus. But this need not to be correct always, as sibling cpus (in ARM, same micro architecture cpus) would have different cpu_capacity with different performance characteristics. So, updating the user supplied cpu_capacity to all cpu siblings is not correct. And another problem is, current code assumes that 'all cpus in a cluster or with same package_id (core_siblings), would have same cpu_capacity'. But with commit '5bdd2b3f ("arm64: topology: add support to remove cpu topology sibling masks")', when a cpu hotplugged out, the cpu information gets cleared in its sibling cpus. So, user supplied cpu_capacity would be applied to only online sibling cpus at the time. After that, if any cpu hotplugged in, it would have different cpu_capacity than its siblings, which breaks the above assumption. So, instead of mucking around the core sibling mask for user supplied value, use device-tree to set cpu capacity. And make the cpu_capacity node as read-only to know the asymmetry between cpus in the system. While at it, remove cpu_scale_mutex usage, which used for sysfs write protection.

System memory may have caches to help improve access speed to frequently requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is transparent to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications can optimize their own access based on cache attributes. Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory-side caches under the memory node that provides it. The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/<cpu>/cache/. Unlike CPU cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from the view of the memory. A higher level number is nearer to the CPU, while lower levels are closer to the last level memory. The exported attributes are the cache size, the line size, associativity indexing, and write back policy, and add the attributes for the system memory caches to sysfs stable documentation.

Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information, applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to request memory. The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting performance attributes: # tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ |-- read_bandwidth |-- read_latency |-- write_bandwidth `-- write_latency The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the manufacturer. Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or omitted from the any access class' initiators. Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes are added to sysfs stable documentation.

Systems may be constructed with various specialized nodes. Some nodes may provide memory, some provide compute devices that access and use that memory, and others may provide both. Nodes that provide memory are referred to as memory targets, and nodes that can initiate memory access are referred to as memory initiators. Memory targets will often have varying access characteristics from different initiators, and platforms may have ways to express those relationships. In preparation for these systems, provide interfaces for the kernel to export the memory relationship among different nodes memory targets and their initiators with symlinks to each other. If a system provides access locality for each initiator-target pair, nodes may be grouped into ranked access classes relative to other nodes. The new interface allows a subsystem to register relationships of varying classes if available and desired to be exported. A memory initiator may have multiple memory targets in the same access class. The target memory's initiators in a given class indicate the nodes access characteristics share the same performance relative to other linked initiator nodes. Each target within an initiator's access class, though, do not necessarily perform the same as each other. A memory target node may have multiple memory initiators. All linked initiators in a target's class have the same access characteristics to that target. The following example show the nodes' new sysfs hierarchy for a memory target node 'Y' with access class 0 from initiator node 'X': # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/nodeY -> ../../nodeY # symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/ relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/nodeX -> ../../nodeX The new attributes are added to the sysfs stable documentation.

Parsing entries in an ACPI table had assumed a generic header structure. There is no standard ACPI header, though, so less common layouts with different field sizes required custom parsers to go through their subtable entry list. Create the infrastructure for adding different table types so parsing the entries array may be more reused for all ACPI system tables and the common code doesn't need to be duplicated.

syzbot is hitting use-after-free bug in uinput module [1]. This is because kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is called again due to commit 0f4dafc0 ("Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref") after memory allocation fault injection made kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) from device_del() from input_unregister_device() fail, while uinput_destroy_device() is expecting that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) is not called after device_del() from input_unregister_device() completed. That commit intended to catch cases where nobody even attempted to send "remove" uevents. But there is no guarantee that an event will ultimately be sent. We are at the point of no return as far as the rest of the kernel is concerned; there are no repeats or do-overs. Also, it is not clear whether some subsystem depends on that commit. If no subsystem depends on that commit, it will be better to remove the state_{add,remove}_uevent_sent logic. But we don't want to risk a regression (in a patch which will be backported) by trying to remove that logic. Therefore, as a first step, let's avoid the use-after-free bug by making sure that kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE) won't be triggered twice.

Since commit 7934779a ("Driver-Core: disable /sbin/hotplug by default"), the help text for the /sbin/hotplug fork-bomb says "This should not be used today [...] creates a high system load, or [...] out-of-memory situations during bootup". The rationale for this was that no recent mainstream system used this anymore (in 2010!). A few years later, the complete uevent helper support was made optional in commit 86d56134 ("kobject: Make support for uevent_helper optional."). However, if was still left enabled by default, to support ancient userland. Time passed by, and nothing should use this anymore, so it can be disabled by default.

struct device is big, around 760 bytes on x86_64. It's not a critical structure, but it is embedded everywhere, so making it smaller is always a good thing. With a recent patch that moved a field from struct device to the private structure, some benchmarks showed a very odd regression, despite this structure having nothing to do with those benchmarks. That caused me to look into the layout of the structure. Using 'pahole', it showed a number of holes and ways that the structure could be reordered in order to align some cachelines better, as well as reduce the size of the overall structure. Move 'struct kobj' to the start of the structure, to keep that access in the first cacheline, and try to organize things a bit more compactly where possible By doing these few moves, the result removes at least 8 bytes from 'struct device' on a 64bit system. Given we know there are systems with at least 30k devices in memory at once, every little byte counts, and this change could be a savings of 240k of kernel memory for them. On "normal" systems the overall memory savings would be much less. Cc: "Rafael J.

Pull CPU hotplug fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two SMT/hotplug related fixes: - Prevent crash when HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled and the CPU bringup aborts. This is triggered with the 'nosmt' command line option, but can happen by any abort condition. As the real unplug code is not compiled in, prevent the fail by keeping the CPU in zombie state. - Enforce HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP on x86 to avoid the above situation completely. With 'nosmt' being a popular option it's required to unplug the half brought up sibling CPUs (due to the MCE wreckage) completely" * 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/smp: Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU when SMP=y cpu/hotplug: Prevent crash when CPU bringup fails on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n
