      tmpfs: fix regression hang in fallocate undo · 7f556567
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      The well-spotted fallocate undo fix is good in most cases, but not when
fallocate failed on the very first page.  index 0 then passes lend -1
to shmem_undo_range(), and that has two bad effects: (a) that it will
undo every fallocation throughout the file, unrestricted by the current
range; but more importantly (b) it can cause the undo to hang, because
lend -1 is treated as truncation, which makes it keep on retrying until
every page has gone, but those already fully instantiated will never go
away.  Big thank you to xfstests generic/269 which demonstrates this.

Fixes: b9b4bb26 ("tmpfs: don't undo fallocate past its last page")

      Revert "ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler" · 78c4e172
      Jeff Mahoney authored 
      This reverts commit 2f36db71.

It fixed a local root exploit but also introduced a dependency on
the lower file system implementing an mmap operation just to open a file,
which is a bit of a heavy hammer.  The right fix is to have mmap depend
on the existence of the mmap handler instead.

      arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry · e19a6ee2
      James Morse authored 
      If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.

      timers: Implement optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer() · f00c0afd
      Anna-Maria Gleixner authored 
      The existing optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer() checks whether
the timer expiry time is the same as the new requested expiry time. In the old
timer wheel implementation this does not take the slack batching into account,
neither does the new implementation evaluate whether the new expiry time will
requeue the timer to the same bucket.

To optimize that, we can calculate the resulting bucket and check if the new
expiry time is different from the current expiry time. This calculation
happens outside the base lock held region. If the resulting bucket is the same
we can avoid taking the base lock and requeueing the timer.

If the timer needs to be requeued then we have to check under the base lock
whether the base time has changed between the lockless calculation and taking
the lock. If it has changed we need to recalculate under the lock.

This optimization takes effect for timers which are enqueued into the less
granular wheel levels (1 and above). With a simple test case the functionality
has been verified:

            Before        After
 Match:       5.5%        86.6%
 Requeue:    94.5%        13.4%
 Recalc:                  <0.01%

In the non optimized case the timer is requeued in 94.5% of the cases. With
the index optimization in place the requeue rate drops to 13.4%. The case
where the lockless index calculation has to be redone is less than 0.01%.

With a real world test case (networking) we observed the following changes:

            Before        After
 Match:      97.8%        99.7%
 Requeue:     2.2%         0.3%
 Recalc:                  <0.001%

That means two percent fewer lock/requeue/unlock operations done in one of
the hot path use cases of timers.

      timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible · a683f390
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The wheel clock is stale when a CPU goes into a long idle sleep. This has the
side effect that timers which are queued end up in the outer wheel levels.
That results in coarser granularity.

To solve this, we keep track of the idle state and forward the wheel clock
whenever possible.
