Currently if the autofs kernel module gets an error when writing to the pipe which links to the daemon, then it marks the whole moutpoint as catatonic, and it will stop working. It is possible that the error is transient. This can happen if the daemon is slow and more than 16 requests queue up. If a subsequent process tries to queue a request, and is then signalled, the write to the pipe will return -ERESTARTSYS and autofs will take that as total failure. So change the code to assess -ERESTARTSYS and -ENOMEM as transient failures which only abort the current request, not the whole mountpoint. It isn't a crash or a data corruption, but having autofs mountpoints suddenly stop working is rather inconvenient. Ian said: : And given the problems with a half dozen (or so) user space applications : consuming large amounts of CPU under heavy mount and umount activity this : could happen more easily than we expect.

The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change. Davidlohr said: : Improvements are quite obscene actually, such as for the following : epoll_wait() benchmark with 2 level nesting on a 80 core IvyBridge: : : ncpus vanilla dirty delta : 1 2447092 3028315 +23.75% : 4 231265 2986954 +1191.57% : 8 121631 2898796 +2283.27% : 16 59749 2902056 +4757.07% : 32 26837 2326314 +8568.30% : 64 12926 1341281 +10276.61% : : (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1509430214-5599-1-git-send-email-jbaron@akamai.comSigned-off-by:

ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.

A userspace application can directly trigger the allocations from eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs. A buggy or malicious application can consume a significant amount of system memory by triggering such allocations. Indeed we have seen in production where a buggy application was leaking the epoll references and causing a burst of eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slab allocations. This patch opt-in the charging of eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs. There is a per-user limit (~4% of total memory if no highmem) on these caches. I think it is too generous particularly in the scenario where jobs of multiple users are running on the system and the administrator is reducing cost by overcomitting the memory. This is unaccounted kernel memory and will not be considered by the oom-killer. I think by accounting it to kmemcg, for systems with kmem accounting enabled, we can provide better isolation between jobs of different users.

The current int_sqrt() computation is sub-optimal for the case of small @x. Which is the interesting case when we're going to do cumulative distribution functions on idle times, which we assume to be a random variable, where the target residency of the deepest idle state gives an upper bound on the variable (5e6ns on recent Intel chips). In the case of small @x, the compute loop: while (m != 0) { b = y + m; y >>= 1; if (x >= b) { x -= b; y += m; } m >>= 2; } can be reduced to: while (m > x) m >>= 2; Because y==0, b==m and until x>=m y will remain 0. And while this is computationally equivalent, it runs much faster because there's less code, in particular less branches. cycles: branches: branch-misses: OLD: hot: 45.109444 +- 0.044117 44.333392 +- 0.002254 0.018723 +- 0.000593 cold: 187.737379 +- 0.156678 44.333407 +- 0.002254 6.272844 +- 0.004305 PRE: hot: 67.937492 +- 0.064124 66.999535 +- 0.000488 0.066720 +- 0.001113 cold: 232.004379 +- 0.332811 66.999527 +- 0.000488 6.914634 +- 0.006568 POST: hot: 43.633557 +- 0.034373 45.333132 +- 0.002277 0.023529 +- 0.000681 cold: 207.438411 +- 0.125840 45.333132 +- 0.002277 6.976486 +- 0.004219 Averages computed over all values <128k using a LFSR to generate order.

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.

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.

parse-maintainers.pl is convenient, but currently hard-codes the filenames that are used. Allow user-specified filenames to simplify the use of the script. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/48703c068b3235223ffa3b2eb268fa0a125b25e0.1502251549.git.joe@perches.comSigned-off-by:

Some architectures store the WARN_ONCE state in the flags field of the bug_entry. Clear that one too when resetting once state through /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once Pointed out by Michael Ellerman Improves the earlier patch that add clear_warn_once.

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.

The sh decompressor code triggers stack-protector code generation when using CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG. As done for arm and mips, add a simple static stack-protector canary. 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.
