Kcov causes the compiler to add a call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() in
every basic block. Ftrace patches in a call to _mcount() to each
function it has annotated.
Letting these mechanisms annotate each other is a bad thing. Break the
loop by adding 'notrace' to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() so that ftrace
won't try to patch this code.
This patch lets arm64 with KCOV and STACK_TRACER boot.

When kswapd goes to sleep it checks if the node is balanced and at first
it sleeps only for HZ/10 time, then rechecks if the node is still
balanced and nobody has woken it during the initial sleep. Only then it
goes fully sleep until an allocation slowpath wakes it up again.
For higher-order allocations, waking up kcompactd is done only before
the full sleep. This turns out to be an issue in case another
high-order allocation fails during the initial sleep. It will wake
kswapd up, however kswapd considers the zone balanced from the order-0
perspective, and will just quickly try to sleep again. So if there's a
longer stream of high-order allocations hitting the slowpath and waking
up kswapd, it might never actually wake up kcompactd, which may be
considered a regression from kswapd-based compaction. In the worst
case, it might be that a single allocation that cannot direct
reclaim/compact itself is waking kswapd in the retry loop and preventing
kcompactd from being woken up and unblocking it.
This patch makes sure kcompactd is woken up in such situations by simply
moving the wakeup before the short initial sleep. More efficient
solution would be to wake kcompactd immediately instead of kswapd if the
node is already order-0 balanced, but in that case we should also move
reset_isolation_suitable() call to kcompactd so it's not adding to the
allocator's latency. Since it's late in the 4.6 cycle, let's go with
the simpler change for now.

Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed*
migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of
memory-failure. It will make the stat wrong. As well, it marks the
page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed. It would mean
we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility.

Kyeongdon reported below error which is BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) in
page_swap_info. The reason is that page_endio in rw_page unlocks the
page if read I/O is completed so we need to hold a PG_lock again to
check PageSwapCache. Otherwise, the page can be removed from swapcache.

In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.
On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available. In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.
This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this way
it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.
This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.

Andrea has found[1] a race condition on MMU-gather based TLB flush vs
split_huge_page() or shrinker which frees huge zero under us (patch 1/2
and 2/2 respectively).
With new THP refcounting, we don't need patch 1/2: mmu_gather keeps the
page pinned until flush is complete and the pin prevents the page from
being split under us.
We still need patch 2/2. This is simplified version of Andrea's patch.
We don't need fancy encoding.

HugeTLB pages cannot be split, so we use the compound_mapcount to track
rmaps.
Currently page_mapped() will check the compound_mapcount, but will also
go through the constituent pages of a THP compound page and query the
individual _mapcount's too.
Unfortunately, page_mapped() does not distinguish between HugeTLB and
THP compound pages and assumes that a compound page always needs to have
HPAGE_PMD_NR pages querying.
For most cases when dealing with HugeTLB this is just inefficient, but
for scenarios where the HugeTLB page size is less than the pmd block
size (e.g. when using contiguous bit on ARM) this can lead to crashes.
This patch adjusts the page_mapped function such that we skip the
unnecessary THP reference checks for HugeTLB pages.

PageAnon() always look at head page to check PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and tail
page's page->mapping has just a poisoned data since commit 1c290f642101
("mm: sanitize page->mapping for tail pages").
If makedumpfile checks page->mapping of a compound tail page to
distinguish anonymous page as usual, it must fail in newer kernel. So
it's necessary to export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to avoid checking
compound tail pages.
The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump
file in kernels 4.5.x and later. This means that extra disk space would
be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical.

makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for
page filtering.
However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order, hence
VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of
page.compound_order.
The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0,
but the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so
this was not actual problem.
The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor,
it's necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages. Further, the content was
changed from direct address to the ID which means dtor.
The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump
file in kernels 4.4.x and later. This means that extra disk space would
be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical.

b16a5b52eb90 ("perf/x86: Add option to disable reading branch flags/cycles")
In this patch, lbr_sel_mask is used to mask the lbr_select. But LBR_SEL_MASK
doesn't include the bit for LBR_CALL_STACK. So LBR call stack will never be
set in lbr_select.
This patch corrects the LBR_SEL_MASK by including all valid bits in
LBR_SELECT. Also, the LBR_CALL_STACK bit is different as other bit in
LBR_SELECT. It does not operate in suppress mode, so it needs to be
specially handled in intel_pmu_setup_hw_lbr_filter.

Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more
specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to
set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of
things will crash the kernel. Namely:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic
on such a machine will kill it.
To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after
VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.

Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in
find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec().
Specifically:
perf_event_open() execve()
ptrace_may_access()
commit_creds()
... if (get_dumpable() != SUID_DUMP_USER)
perf_event_exit_task();
perf_install_in_context()
would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary.
Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex.
This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with
cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.

A while ago, commit 9875201e1049 ("rbd: fix use-after free of
rbd_dev->disk") fixed rbd unmap vs notify race by introducing
an exported wrapper for flushing notifies and sticking it into
do_rbd_remove().
A similar problem exists on the rbd map path, though: the watch is
registered in rbd_dev_image_probe(), while the disk is set up quite
a few steps later, in rbd_dev_device_setup(). Nothing prevents
a notify from coming in and crashing on a NULL rbd_dev->disk:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000050

If an error occurs during rbd map, we have to error out, potentially

flushed, otherwise rbd_watch_cb() may end up trying to read in the

revalidate_disk(), b) move ceph_osdc_flush_notifies() call into
rbd_dev_header_unwatch_sync() to cover rbd map error paths and c) turn
header read-in into a critical section. The latter also happens to
take care of rbd map foo@bar vs rbd snap rm foo@bar race.

If x86_vector_alloc_irq() fails x86_vector_free_irqs() is invoked to cleanup
the already allocated vectors. This subsequently calls clear_vector_irq().
The failed irq has no vector assigned, which triggers the BUG_ON(!vector) in
clear_vector_irq().
We cannot suppress the call to x86_vector_free_irqs() for the failed
interrupt, because the other data related to this irq must be cleaned up as
well. So calling clear_vector_irq() with vector == 0 is legitimate.
Remove the BUG_ON and return if vector is zero,

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"So, it turns out we had a silly bug in the most fundamental part of
workqueue for a very long time. AFAICS, this dates back to pre-git
era and has quite likely been there from the time workqueue was first
introduced.
A work item uses its PENDING bit to synchronize multiple queuers.
Anyone who wins the PENDING bit owns the pending state of the work
item. Whether a queuer wins or loses the race, one thing should be
guaranteed - there will soon be at least one execution of the work
item - where "after" means that the execution instance would be able
to see all the changes that the queuer has made prior to the queueing
attempt.
Unfortunately, we were missing a smp_mb() after clearing PENDING for
execution, so nothing guaranteed visibility of the changes that a
queueing loser has made, which manifested as a reproducible blk-mq
stall.
Lots of kudos to Roman for debugging the problem. The patch for
-stable is the minimal one. For v3.7, Peter is working on a patch to
make the code path slightly more efficient and less fragile"

This bug was introduced while converting threadgroup locking to a

path depending on the ability to create new kthreads. cpuset had a
similar issue which was fixed by performing heavy-lifting operations
asynchronous to task migration. The two patches fix the same issue in
memcg in a similar way. The first patch makes the mechanism generic
and the second relocates memcg charge moving outside the migration
path.
Given that we don't want to perform heavy operations while
writelocking threadgroup lock anyway, moving them out of the way is a
desirable solution. One thing to note is that the problem was
difficult to debug because lockdep couldn't figure out the deadlock
condition. Looking into how to improve that"

Depending on the size of the area to be memset'ed, the nios2 memset implementation
either uses a naive loop (for buffers smaller or equal than 8 bytes) or a more optimized
implementation (for buffers larger than 8 bytes). This implementation does 4-byte stores
rather than 1-byte stores to speed up memset.
However, we discovered that on our nios2 platform, memset() was not properly setting the
buffer to the expected value. A memset of 0xff would not set the entire buffer to 0xff, but to:
0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 ...
Which is obviously incorrect. Our investigation has revealed that the problem lies in the
incorrect constraints used in the inline assembly.
The following piece of assembly, from the nios2 memset implementation, is supposed to
create a 4-byte value that repeats 4 times the 1-byte pattern passed as memset argument:
/* fill8 %3, %5 (c & 0xff) */
" slli %4, %5, 8\n"
" or %4, %4, %5\n"
" slli %3, %4, 16\n"
" or %3, %3, %4\n"
However, depending on the compiler and optimization level, this code might be compiled as:
34: 280a923a slli r5,r5,8
38: 294ab03a or r5,r5,r5
3c: 2808943a slli r4,r5,16
40: 2148b03a or r4,r4,r5
This is wrong because r5 gets used both for %5 and %4, which leads to the final pattern
stored in r4 to be 0xff00ff00 rather than the expected 0xffffffff.
%4 is defined with the "=r" constraint, i.e as an output operand. However, as explained in
http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/arm-inline-asm.html, this does not prevent gcc from
using the same register for an output operand (%4) and input operand (%5). By using the
constraint modifier '&', we indicate that the register should be used for output only. With this
change, we get the following assembly output:
34: 2810923a slli r8,r5,8
38: 4150b03a or r8,r8,r5
3c: 400e943a slli r7,r8,16
40: 3a0eb03a or r7,r7,r8
Which correctly produces the 0xffffffff pattern when 0xff is passed as the memset() pattern.
It is worth mentioning the observed consequence of this bug: we were hitting the kernel
BUG() in mm/bootmem.c:__free() that verifies when marking a page as free that it was
previously marked as occupied (i.e that the bit was set to 1). The entire bootmem bitmap is
set to 0xff bit via a memset() during the bootmem initialization. The bootmem_free() call right
after the initialization was finding some bits to be set to 0, which didn't make sense since the
bitmap has just been memset'ed to 0xff. Except that due to the bug explained above, the
bitmap was in fact initialized to 0xff00ff00.

The sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function uses two copy_from_user calls to
retrieve the sclp request from user space. The first copy_from_user
fetches the length of the request which is stored in the first two
bytes of the request. The second copy_from_user gets the complete
sclp request, but this copies the length field a second time.
A malicious user may have changed the length in the meantime.

This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code
cleanup with no actual semantic changes.
This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty
side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than
the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code
for when we want to remove it again.
Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to
"dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this
removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller,
it's simpler and easier to understand.
The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just
find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in
turn validated the tty pointer in the inode.
That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty
pointer when the dentry is removed".
The new code just does
dentry->d_fsdata = NULL;
in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more
directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the
obvious straightforward approach will do.
The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty
pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the
dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.
