Including <linux/bug.h> pulls in a lot of bloat from <asm/bug.h> and <asm-generic/bug.h> that is not needed to call the BUILD_BUG() family of macros. Split them out into their own header, <linux/build_bug.h>.

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch 5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6). Patches 1 to 4 are prerequisites. Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of this patch series. Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2. Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of warnings when <linux/bug.h> was included by <linux/kernel.h>. That is no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz. Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on "include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch 5. Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including <linux/bug.h> in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures due to circular dependencies. Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has array type. 1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype 2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment 3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" 4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'" 5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h> 6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of() This patch (of 6): The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its parameters. This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not already declared. Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid the warnings.

FRV supports 64-bit cmpxchg, which is provided by the arch code as __cmpxchg_64 and subsequently used to implement atomic64_cmpxchg. This patch hooks up the generic cmpxchg64 API using the same function, which also provides default definitions of the relaxed, acquire and release variants. This fixes the build when COMPILE_TEST=y and IOMMU_IO_PGTABLE_LPAE=y. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499084670-6996-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.comSigned-off-by:

KASAN doesn't happen work with memory hotplug because hotplugged memory doesn't have any shadow memory. So any access to hotplugged memory would cause a crash on shadow check. Use memory hotplug notifier to allocate and map shadow memory when the hotplugged memory is going online and free shadow after the memory offlined.

For some unaligned memory accesses we have to check additional byte of the shadow memory. Currently we load that byte speculatively to have only single load + branch on the optimistic fast path. However, this approach has some downsides: - It's unaligned access, so this prevents porting KASAN on architectures which doesn't support unaligned accesses. - We have to map additional shadow page to prevent crash if speculative load happens near the end of the mapped memory. This would significantly complicate upcoming memory hotplug support. I wasn't able to notice any performance degradation with this patch. So these speculative loads is just a pain with no gain, let's remove them. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170601162338.23540-1-aryabinin@virtuozzo.comSigned-off-by:

Commit 40f9fb8c ("mm/zsmalloc: support allocating obj with size of ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE") fixes a size calculation error that prevented zsmalloc to allocate an object of the maximal size (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE). I think however the fix is unneededly complicated. This patch replaces the dynamic calculation of zs_size_classes at init time by a compile time calculation that uses the DIV_ROUND_UP() macro already used in get_size_class_index().

early_pfn_to_nid will return node 0 if both HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID and HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP are disabled. It seems we are safe now because all architectures which support NUMA define one of them (with an exception of alpha which however has CONFIG_NUMA marked as broken) so this works as expected. It can get silently and subtly broken too easily, though. Make sure we fail the compilation if NUMA is enabled and there is no proper implementation for this function. If that ever happens we know that either the specific configuration is invalid and the fix should either disable NUMA or enable one of the above configs.

Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the cpu hotplug lock. The reason is that memory hotplug takes the memory hotplug lock and then calls stop_machine() which calls get_online_cpus(). That's the reverse lock order to get_online_cpus(); get_online_mems(); in mm/slub_common.c The problem has been there forever. The reason why this was never reported is that the cpu hotplug locking had this homebrewn recursive reader writer semaphore construct which due to the recursion evaded the full lock dep coverage. The memory hotplug code copied that construct verbatim and therefor has similar issues. Three steps to fix this: 1) Convert the memory hotplug locking to a per cpu rwsem so the potential issues get reported proper by lockdep. 2) Lock the online cpus in mem_hotplug_begin() before taking the memory hotplug rwsem and use stop_machine_cpuslocked() in the page_alloc code to avoid recursive locking. 3) The cpu hotpluck locking in #2 causes a recursive locking of the cpu hotplug lock via __offline_pages() -> lru_add_drain_all(). Solve this by invoking lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170704093421.506836322@linutronix.deReported-by:

The rework of the cpu hotplug locking unearthed potential deadlocks with the memory hotplug locking code. The solution for these is to rework the memory hotplug locking code as well and take the cpu hotplug lock before the memory hotplug lock in mem_hotplug_begin(), but this will cause a recursive locking of the cpu hotplug lock when the memory hotplug code calls lru_add_drain_all(). Split out the inner workings of lru_add_drain_all() into lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() so this function can be invoked from the memory hotplug code with the cpu hotplug lock held.

expand_stack(vma) fails if address < stack_guard_gap even if there is no vma->vm_prev. I don't think this makes sense, and we didn't do this before the recent commit 1be7107f ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas"). We do not need a gap in this case, any address is fine as long as security_mmap_addr() doesn't object. This also simplifies the code, we know that address >= prev->vm_end and thus underflow is not possible. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170628175258.GA24881@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Commit 1be7107f ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma. This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on the other hand. Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is doing and handle it propely.

The align_offset parameter is used by bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() to represent the offset of map's base from the previous alignment boundary; the function ensures that the returned index, plus the align_offset, honors the specified align_mask. The logic introduced by commit b5be83e3 ("mm: cma: align to physical address, not CMA region position") has the cma driver calculate the offset to the *next* alignment boundary. In most cases, the base alignment is greater than that specified when making allocations, resulting in a zero offset whether we align up or down. In the example given with the commit, the base alignment (8MB) was half the requested alignment (16MB) so the math also happened to work since the offset is 8MB in both directions. However, when requesting allocations with an alignment greater than twice that of the base, the returned index would not be correctly aligned. Also, the align_order arguments of cma_bitmap_aligned_mask() and cma_bitmap_aligned_offset() should not be negative so the argument type was made unsigned.

Currently pg_data_t is just a struct which describes a NUMA node memory layout. Let's keep the comment simple and remove ambiguity. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1498220534-22717-1-git-send-email-nborisov@suse.comSigned-off-by:

get_cpu_var() disables preemption and returns the per-CPU version of the variable. Disabling preemption is useful to ensure atomic access to the variable within the critical section. In this case however, after the per-CPU version of the variable is obtained the ->free_lock is acquired. For that reason it seems the raw accessor could be used. It only seems that ->slots_ret should be retested (because with disabled preemption this variable can not be set to NULL otherwise). This popped up during PREEMPT-RT testing because it tries to take spinlocks in a preempt disabled section. In RT, spinlocks can sleep.

Since current_order starts as MAX_ORDER-1 and is then only decremented, the second half of the loop condition seems superfluous. However, if order is 0, we may decrement current_order past 0, making it UINT_MAX. This is obviously too subtle ([1], [2]). Since we need to add some comment anyway, change the two variables to signed, making the counting-down for loop look more familiar, and apparently also making gcc generate slightly smaller code.
