ISH clients don't need to access any field of struct ishtp_cl_device. To avoid this create an interface functions instead where it is required. In the case of ishtp_cl_allocate(), modify the parameters so that the clients don't have to dereference. Clients can also use tracing, here a new interface is added to get the common trace function pointer, instead of direct call. The new interface functions defined in one external header file, named intel-ish-client-if.h. This is the only header files all ISHTP clients must include. Signed-off-by:

Currently we depend on the guid check in ishtp_cl_driver.probe to match the device and driver. However Linux device core first calls the match() callback to decide the matching of driver and device, and then does some preparation before calling the driver probe function. If we return error in the driver probe, it needs to tear down all the preparation work and retry with next driver. Adding the match callback can avoid the unnecessary entry into unmatched driver probe function for ishtp clients reported by FW. Signed-off-by:

Since commit ad67b74d ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"), the virtual memory layout printed during boot up contains "ptrval" instead of actual addresses. Instead of changing the printing to "%px", and leaking virtual memory layout information again, just remove the printing completely, cfr. e.g. commits 071929db ("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory layout") and 31833332 ("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout"). All interesting information (actual section sizes) is already printed by mem_init_print_info() just above anyway.

Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes, but some drivers/file systems mistakenly return error numbers. Now that all drivers/file systems have been converted to use the vm_fault_t return type, change the type definition to no longer be compatible with 'int'. By making it an unsigned int, the function prototype becomes incompatible with a function which returns int. Sparse will detect any attempts to return a value which is not a VM_FAULT code. VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed to avoid conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.

There are several early memory allocations in arch/ code that use memblock_phys_alloc() to allocate memory, convert the returned physical address to the virtual address and then set the allocated memory to zero. Exactly the same behaviour can be achieved simply by calling memblock_alloc(): it allocates the memory in the same way as memblock_phys_alloc(), then it performs the phys_to_virt() conversion and clears the allocated memory. Replace the longer sequence with a simpler call to memblock_alloc(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1546248566-14910-6-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

The pte_alloc_one_kernel() function allocates a page using __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL) when mm initialization is complete and memblock_phys_alloc() on the earlier stages. The physical address of the page allocated with memblock_phys_alloc() is converted to the virtual address and in the both cases the allocated page is cleared using clear_page(). The code is simplified by replacing __get_free_page() with get_zeroed_page() and by replacing memblock_phys_alloc() with memblock_alloc().

Rather than use the memblock_alloc_base that returns a physical address and then convert this address to the virtual one, use appropriate memblock function that returns a virtual address. There is a small functional change in the allocation of then NODE_DATA(). Instead of panicing if the local allocation failed, the non-local allocation attempt will be made.

Mike Rapoport authored
Patch series "memblock: simplify several early memory allocation", v4. These patches simplify some of the early memory allocations by replacing usage of older memblock APIs with newer and shinier ones. Quite a few places in the arch/ code allocated memory using a memblock API that returns a physical address of the allocated area, then converted this physical address to a virtual one and then used memset(0) to clear the allocated range. More recent memblock APIs do all the three steps in one call and their usage simplifies the code. It's important to note that regardless of API used, the core allocation is nearly identical for any set of memblock allocators: first it tries to find a free memory with all the constraints specified by the caller and then falls back to the allocation with some or all constraints disabled. The first three patches perform the conversion of call sites that have exact requirements for the node and the possible memory range. The fourth patch is a bit one-off as it simplifies openrisc's implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel(), and not only the memblock usage. The fifth patch takes care of simpler cases when the allocation can be satisfied with a simple call to memblock_alloc(). The sixth patch removes one-liner wrappers for memblock_alloc on arm and unicore32, as suggested by Christoph. This patch (of 6): There are a several places that allocate memory using memblock APIs that return a physical address, convert the returned address to the virtual address and frequently also memset(0) the allocated range. Update these places to use memblock allocators already returning a virtual address. Use memblock functions that clear the allocated memory instead of calling memset(0) where appropriate. The calls to memblock_alloc_base() that were not followed by memset(0) are replaced with memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(). Since the latter does not panic() when the allocation fails, the appropriate panic() calls are added to the call sites.

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5. Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972 This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ). Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short: - RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent) - I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically, measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies the benefits of each part of the patchset. Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178 4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance). This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5% or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram. Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches (aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does more compression than decompression). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as expected. RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on top of the benefit from Matt's patches). Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches. Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here, the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation, of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this is probably within the noise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next" has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect - it's small enough not to upset the overall findings. This patch (of 3): When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them using run-length encoding. This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal. Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases. This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible (i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot decompress new bitstreams).

LZO leaves some performance on the table by not realising that arm64 can optimize count-trailing-zeros bit operations. Add CONFIG_ARM64 to the checked definitions alongside CONFIG_X86_64 to enable the use of rbit/clz instructions on full 64-bit quantities.

When booting an allmodconfig kernel, there are a lot of false-positives. With a message like this 'UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in...' with a call trace that follows. UBSAN warnings are a result of enabling noisy CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT which is disabled by default if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y. It's noisy even if don't have efficient unaligned access, e.g. people often add __cacheline_aligned_in_smp in structs, but forget to align allocations of such struct (kmalloc() give 8-byte alignment in worst case). Rework so that when building a allmodconfig kernel that turns everything into '=m' or '=y' will turn off UBSAN_ALIGNMENT.

Since commit 1751e8a6 ("Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz)"), scripts/gdb should be updated to replace MS_xyz with SB_xyz. This change didn't directly affect the running operation of scripts/gdb until commit e262e32d "vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the kernel unless explicitly enabled" removed the definitions used by constants.py. Update constants.py.in to utilise the new internal flags, matching the implementation at fs/proc_namespace.c::show_sb_opts. Note to stable, e262e32d landed in v5.0-rc1 (which was just released), so we'll want this picked back to 5.0 stable once this patch hits mainline (akpm just picked it up). Without this, debugging a kernel a kernel via GDB+QEMU is broken in the 5.0 release.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable kcov.refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. The full comparison can be seen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon in state to be merged to the documentation tree. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the kcov.refcount it might make a difference in following places: - kcov_put(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1547634429-772-1-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.comSigned-off-by:

This slightly optimizes the kernel/configs.c build. bin2c is not very efficient because it converts a data file into a huge array to embed it into a *.c file. Instead, we can use the .incbin directive. Also, this simplifies the code; Makefile is cleaner, and the way to get the offset/size of the config_data.gz is more straightforward. I used the "asm" statement in *.c instead of splitting it into *.S because MODULE_* tags are not supported in *.S files. I also cleaned up kernel/.gitignore; "config_data.gz" is unneeded because the top-level .gitignore takes care of the "*.gz" pattern.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently, when writing echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max /proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0. That quickly crashes the system. This commit sets the max and min value for file-max. The max value is set to long int. Any higher value cannot currently be used as the percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers. Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(). This function does not report error when min or max are exceeded. Which means if a value largen that long int is written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be kept. There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min or max value are exceeded. However this has the potential to break userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190107222700.15954-3-christian@brauner.ioSigned-off-by:

proc_get_long() is a funny function. It uses simple_strtoul() and for a good reason. proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values. However, simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny things like the following to happen: echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 0 (Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.) On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to be more lenient. Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static parse strtoul_lenient() which: - fails on overflow with -ERANGE - returns the trailing characters to the caller The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial fail on overflow right now. Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded. So we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are overflows. So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not special-case this based on the number of chars. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190107222700.15954-2-christian@brauner.ioSigned-off-by:
