Memory re-registration is a feature that enables changing the attributes of a memory region registered by user-space, including PD, translation (address and length) and access flags. Add the required support in uverbs and the kernel verbs API.

Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1. The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in Michel's case. This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code generation problems. Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we can do export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1 to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results). Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail (even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc compare failure.

Shortly before 3.16-rc1, Dave Jones reported: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 19721 at fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c:971 xfs_vm_writepage+0x5ce/0x630 [xfs]() CPU: 3 PID: 19721 Comm: trinity-c61 Not tainted 3.15.0+ #3 Call Trace: xfs_vm_writepage+0x5ce/0x630 [xfs] shrink_page_list+0x8f9/0xb90 shrink_inactive_list+0x253/0x510 shrink_lruvec+0x563/0x6c0 shrink_zone+0x3b/0x100 shrink_zones+0x1f1/0x3c0 try_to_free_pages+0x164/0x380 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x822/0xc90 alloc_pages_vma+0xaf/0x1c0 handle_mm_fault+0xa31/0xc50 etc. 970 if (WARN_ON_ONCE((current->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC|PF_KSWAPD)) == 971 PF_MEMALLOC)) I did not respond at the time, because a glance at the PageDirty block in shrink_page_list() quickly shows that this is impossible: we don't do writeback on file pages (other than tmpfs) from direct reclaim nowadays. Dave was hallucinating, but it would have been disrespectful to say so. However, my own /var/log/messages now shows similar complaints WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28814 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1881 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b() WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27347 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1764 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b() from stressing some mmotm trees during July. Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked, so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed to mapping->a_ops->writepage()? Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a74 ("mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear it. Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through the consequences. Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly, but is probably the worst place to fix it. Page migration is doing too many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index) done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.

H. Peter Anvin authored
Promote one fix for 3.16 This fix was necessary after 9c15a24b ("x86/mce: Improve mcheck_init_device() error handling") went in. What this patch did was, among others, check the return value of misc_register and exit early if it encountered an error. Original code sloppily didn't do that. However, cef12ee5 ("xen/mce: Add mcelog support for Xen platform") made it so that xen's init routine xen_late_init_mcelog runs first. This was needed for the xen mcelog device which is supposed to be independent from the baremetal one. Initially it was reported that misc_register() fails often on xen and that's why it needed fixing. However, it is *supposed* to fail by design, when running in dom0 so that the xen mcelog device file gets registered first. And *then* you need the notifier *not* unregistered on the error path so that the timer does get deleted properly in the CPU hotplug notifier. Btw, this fix is needed also on baremetal in the unlikely event that misc_register(&mce_chrdev_device) fails there too. I was unsure whether to rush it in now and decided to delay it to 3.17. However, xen people wanted it promoted as it breaks xen when doing cpu hotplug there. So, after a bit of simmering in tip/master for initial smoke testing, let's move it to 3.16. It fixes a semi-regression which got introduced in 3.16 so no need for stable tagging. tip/x86/ras contains that exact same commit but we can't remove it there as it is not the last one. It won't cause any merge issues, as I confirmed locally but I should state here the special situation of this one fix explicitly anyway. Thanks. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
