The GCC randomize layout plugin can randomize the member offsets of sensitive kernel data structures. To use this feature, certain annotations and members are added to the structures which affect the member offsets even if this plugin is not used. All of these structures are completely randomized, except for task_struct which leaves out some of its members. All the other members are wrapped within an anonymous struct with the __randomize_layout attribute. This is done using the randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end defines. When the plugin is disabled, the behaviour of this attribute can vary based on the GCC version. For GCC 5.1+, this attribute maps to __designated_init otherwise it is just an empty define but the anonymous structure is still present. For other compilers, both randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end default to empty defines meaning the anonymous structure is not introduced at all. So, if a module compiled with Clang, such as a BPF program, needs to access task_struct fields such as pid and comm, the offsets of these members as recognized by Clang are different from those recognized by modules compiled with GCC. If GCC 4.6+ is used to build the kernel, this can be solved by introducing appropriate defines for Clang so that the anonymous structure is seen when determining the offsets for the members.

Prior to v4.11, x86 used warn_slowpath_fmt() for handling WARN()s. After WARN() was moved to using UD0 on x86, the warning text started appearing _before_ the "cut here" line. This appears to have been a long-standing bug on architectures that used __WARN_TAINT, but it didn't get fixed. v4.11 and earlier on x86: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2956 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:65 lkdtm_WARNING+0x21/0x30 This is a warning message Modules linked in: v4.12 and later on x86: This is a warning message ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2982 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:68 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20 Modules linked in: With this fix: ------------[ cut here ]------------ This is a warning message WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3009 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:67 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20 Since the __FILE__ reporting happens as part of the UD0 handler, it isn't trivial to move the message to after the WARNING line, but at least we can fix the position of the "cut here" line so all the various logging tools will start including the actual runtime warning message again, when they follow the instruction and "cut here".

When we pass the result of a multiplication as the timeout or the delay, we can get a warning from gcc-7: drivers/mmc/host/bcm2835.c:596:149: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c:247:195: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_hdmi_i2c.c:49:27: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context] The warning is a bit questionable inside of a macro, but this is intentional on the side of the gcc developers. It is also an indication of another problem: we evaluate the timeout and sleep arguments multiple times, which can have undesired side-effects when those are complex expressions. This changes the two iopoll variants to use local variables for storing copies of the timeouts. This adds some more type safety, and avoids both the double-evaluation and the gcc warning.

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

As this wasn't protected before, the risk of using a weak canary is minimized. Once the kernel is actually up, a better canary is chosen.

Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being coredumped at the moment. It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the process and getting a broken coredump. Writing a large core might take significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and killing/restarting hanging tasks. We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by timeout in the middle of the core writing process. We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests. Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable timeout (especially on an overloaded machine). This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full coredump file. To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in /proc/pid/status. Example: $ cat core.sh #!/bin/sh echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern sleep 1000 & PID=$! cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping kill -ABRT $PID sleep 1 cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping $ ./core.sh CoreDumping: 0 CoreDumping: 1 [guro@fb.com: document CoreDumping flag in /proc/<pid>/status] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928135357.GA8470@castle.DHCP.thefacebook.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170920230634.31572-1-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the ignore_skip_hint flag. Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped. Therefore we can remove the special cases. The relevant pageblocks will be marked as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page could be isolated. This makes the code simpler.

Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA use case. Since 6815bf3f ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update* the skip hints in addition to ignoring them. Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit handling as the next step.

pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order. When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets. This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation. This includes THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check and not recognizing tail pages. While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can still expect that if a THP exists at the point of __reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent compaction run. The time difference here could be actually smaller than between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP, and the next compaction run that observes it.

It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation is occurring in this condition. It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks, and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned. It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

Kcompactd is needlessly ignoring pageblock skip information. It is doing MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction, which is no more powerful than MIGRATE_SYNC compaction. If compaction recently failed to isolate memory from a set of pageblocks, there is nothing to indicate that kcompactd will be able to do so, or that it is beneficial from attempting to isolate memory. Use the pageblock skip hint to avoid rescanning pageblocks needlessly until that information is reset.

There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact() called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies its contents. The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams: "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a build success notification. The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged. - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.

The change is simply to add Jason Gunthorpe to the MAINTAINERS file for the RDMA stack (and update him in the .mailmap).

The default max_cache_size_bytes for dm-bufio is meant to be the lesser of 25% of the size of the vmalloc area and 2% of the size of lowmem. However, on 32-bit systems the intermediate result in the expression (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100 overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed. For example, on a 32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is 1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem). This causes severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems. Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage. Do this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage. Also replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

A DM device with a mix of discard capabilities (due to some underlying devices not having discard support) _should_ just return -EOPNOTSUPP for the region of the device that doesn't support discards (even if only by way of the underlying driver formally not supporting discards). BUT, that does ask the underlying driver to handle something that it never advertised support for. In doing so we're exposing users to the potential for a underlying disk driver hanging if/when a discard is issued a the device that is incapable and never claimed to support discards. Fix this by requiring that each DM target in a DM table provide discard support as a prereq for a DM device to advertise support for discards. This may cause some configurations that were happily supporting discards (even in the face of a mix of discard support) to stop supporting discards -- but the risk of users hitting driver hangs, and forced reboots, outweighs supporting those fringe mixed discard configurations.

It is very normal to see allocation failure, especially with blk-mq request_queues, so it's unnecessary to report this error and annoy people. In practice this 'blk_get_request() returned -11' error gets logged quite frequently when a blk-mq DM multipath device sees heavy IO. This change is marked for stable@ because the annoying message in question was included in stable@ commit 7083abbb.
