DAX will need to implement its own version of page_check_address(). To avoid duplicating page table walking code, export follow_pte() which does what we need. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479460644-25076-18-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success. Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only. Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well defined and we should probably clean that up.

Provide a helper function for finishing write faults due to PTE being read-only. The helper will be used by DAX to avoid the need of complicating generic MM code with DAX locking specifics. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479460644-25076-16-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

wp_page_reuse() handles write shared faults which is needed only in wp_page_shared(). Move the handling only into that location to make wp_page_reuse() simpler and avoid a strange situation when we sometimes pass in locked page, sometimes unlocked etc. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479460644-25076-15-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

We will need more information in the ->page_mkwrite() helper for DAX to be able to fully finish faults there. Pass vm_fault structure to do_page_mkwrite() and use it there so that information propagates properly from upper layers.

Move final handling of COW faults from generic code into DAX fault handler. That way generic code doesn't have to be aware of peculiarities of DAX locking so remove that knowledge and make locking functions private to fs/dax.c.

Introduce finish_fault() as a helper function for finishing page faults. It is rather thin wrapper around alloc_set_pte() but since we'd want to call this from DAX code or filesystems, it is still useful to avoid some boilerplate code.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5. Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the series! This patch (of 20): To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479460644-25076-9-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Currently we have two different structures for passing fault information around - struct vm_fault and struct fault_env. DAX will need more information in struct vm_fault to handle its faults so the content of that structure would become event closer to fault_env. Furthermore it would need to generate struct fault_env to be able to call some of the generic functions. So at this point I don't think there's much use in keeping these two structures separate. Just embed into struct vm_fault all that is needed to use it for both purposes. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479460644-25076-2-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Unexport the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and replaces invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions. In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked() with get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags. In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass different tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane replacement in these cases (having added manual acquisition and release of mmap_sem.) Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by commit 1e987790 ("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this appears to have been unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not an issue.

Patch series "mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()". This patch series continues the cleanup of get_user_pages*() functions taking advantage of the fact we can now pass gup_flags as we please. It firstly adds an additional 'locked' parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow for its callers to utilise VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality. This is necessary as the invocation of __get_user_pages_unlocked() in process_vm_rw_single_vec() makes use of this and no other existing higher level function would allow it to do so. Secondly existing callers of __get_user_pages_unlocked() are replaced with the appropriate higher-level replacement - get_user_pages_unlocked() if the current task and memory descriptor are referenced, or get_user_pages_remote() if other task/memory descriptors are referenced (having acquiring mmap_sem.) This patch (of 2): Add a int *locked parameter to get_user_pages_remote() to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY faulting behaviour similar to get_user_pages_[un]locked(). Taking into account the previous adjustments to get_user_pages*() functions allowing for the passing of gup_flags, we are now in a position where __get_user_pages_unlocked() need only be exported for his ability to allow VM_FAULT_RETRY behaviour, this adjustment allows us to subsequently unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked() as well as allowing for future flexibility in the use of get_user_pages_remote().

We can avoid the idr tree lookup (albeit possibly avoiding idr_find_fast()) when being awoken in EINTR, as the semid will not change in this context while blocked. Use the sma pointer directly and take the sem_lock, then re-check for RMID races. We continue to re-check the queue.status with the lock held such that we can detect situations where we where are dealing with a spurious wakeup but another task that holds the sem_lock updated the queue.status while we were spinning for it. Once we take the lock it obviously won't change again. Being the only caller, get rid of sem_obtain_lock() altogether.

Instead of using the reverse goto, we can simplify the flow and make it more language natural by just doing do-while instead. One would hope this is the standard way (or obviously just with a while bucle) that we do wait/wakeup handling in the kernel. The exact same logic is kept, just more indented.

This is the main workhorse that deals with semop user calls such that the waitforzero or semval update operations, on the set, can complete on not as the sma currently stands. Currently, the set is iterated twice (setting semval, then backwards for the sempid value). Slowpaths, and particularly SEM_UNDO calls, must undo any altered sem when it is detected that the caller must block or has errored-out. With larger sets, there can occur situations where this involves a lot of cycles and can obviously be a suboptimal use of cached resources in shared memory. Ie, discarding CPU caches that are also calling semop and have the sembuf cached (and can complete), while the current lock holder doing the semop will block, error, or does a waitforzero operation. This patch proposes still iterating the set twice, but the first scan is read-only, and we perform the actual updates afterward, once we know that the call will succeed. In order to not suffer from the overhead of dealing with sops that act on the same sem_num, such (rare) cases use perform_atomic_semop_slow(), which is exactly what we have now. Duplicates are detected before grabbing sem_lock, and uses simple a 32/64-bit hash array variable to based on the sem_num we are working on. In addition add some comments to when we expect to the caller to block.

Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold times. This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages: o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code. o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add() grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event, between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process(). o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption. In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring during the pending wakeup window. Obviously no changes in semantics that could be visible to the user. The fastpath is _only_ for when we know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

Patch series "Clean up watchdog handlers", v2. This is an attempt to cleanup watchdog handlers. Right now, kernel/watchdog.c implements both softlockup and hardlockup detectors. Softlockup code is generic. Hardlockup code is arch specific. Some architectures don't use hardlockup detectors. They use their own watchdog detectors. To make both these combination work, we have numerous #ifdefs in kernel/watchdog.c. We are trying here to make these handlers independent of each other. Also provide an interface for architectures to implement their own handlers. watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable will be defined as weak such that architectures can override its definitions. Thanks to Don Zickus for his suggestions.

Choosing the appropriate compression option when using an embedded initramfs can result in significant size differences in the resulting data. This is caused by avoiding double compression of the initramfs contents. For example on my tests, choosing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE when compressing the kernel using XZ) results in up to 500KiB differences (9MiB to 8.5MiB) in the kernel size as the dictionary will not get polluted with uncomprensible data and may reuse kernel data too. Despite embedding an uncompressed initramfs, a user may want to allow for a compressed extra initramfs to be passed using the rd system, for example to boot a recovery system. 9ba4bcb6 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") broke that behavior by making the choice based on CONFIG_RD_* instead of adding CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4. Saddly, CONFIG_RD_* is also used to choose the supported RD compression algorithms by the kernel and a user may want to support more than one. This patch also reverts commit 3e4e0f0a ("initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice") restoring back the "compression mode" choice and includes the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 option which was never added. As a result the following options are added or readed affecting the embedded initramfs compression: INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE Do no compression INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP Compress using gzip INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2 Compress using bzip2 INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA Compress using lzma INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ Compress using xz INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZO Compress using lzo INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 Compress using lz4 These depend on the corresponding CONFIG_RD_* option being set (except NONE which has no dependencies). This patch depends on the previous one (the previous version didn't) to simplify the way in which the algorithm is chosen and keep backwards compatibility with the behaviour introduced by 9ba4bcb6 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression").

This makes deciding algorithm precedence easier and would allow for overrides if new algorithms want to be tested. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/57EAD769.1090401@klondike.esSigned-off-by:

kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack(). vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the trap. But this approach is racy, for example: CPU1 CPU2 vkdb_printf() // assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0 saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk = 0; kdb_show_stack() kdb_trap_printk++; Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf() even when it should have been disabled. It will not cause a deadlock but... // using the outdated saved value: 0 kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk--; Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this. It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from now on. This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU. The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But this problem existed even with the original code. A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the effort, though. In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter(). The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for the other CPUs to report to the holding pen. Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf() explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk() recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.

kdb_printf_lock does not prevent other CPUs from entering the critical section because it is ignored when KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is set. The problematic situation might look like: CPU0 CPU1 vkdb_printf() if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK)) KDB_STATE_SET(PRINTF_LOCK); spin_lock_irqsave(&kdb_printf_lock, flags); vkdb_printf() if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK)) BANG: The PRINTF_LOCK state is set and CPU1 is entering the critical section without spinning on the lock. The problem is that the code tries to implement locking using two state variables that are not handled atomically. Well, we need a custom locking because we want to allow reentering the critical section on the very same CPU. Let's use solution from Petr Zijlstra that was proposed for a similar scenario, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161018171513.734367391@infradead.org This patch uses the same trick with cmpxchg(). The only difference is that we want to handle only recursion from the same context and therefore we disable interrupts. In addition, KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is removed. In fact, we are not able to set it a non-racy way.

kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel code. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original implementation. But this check never went upstream. The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or outside the locked area. Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could simply remove the state variable.

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite common to see things like this in the boot log: Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000) In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the kdb> prompt was written. Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted) but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.
