For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

Use watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector() to set hard lockup detection's
default value to false. It's risky to run this detection in a guest, as
false positives are easy to trigger, especially if the host is
overcommitted.

In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest. Introduce
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)
allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary,
initial boot: default=enabled
smp_prepare_boot_cpu
watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled
cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled
The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer. All users
now switched to that approach.
This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints
octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are
required and the rest of the string ends up cut off.
Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their
alphabetic representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used
for messaging only.

This allows user to print a given buffer as an escaped string. The
rules are applied according to an optional mix of flags provided by
additional format letters.
For example, if the given buffer is:
1b 62 20 5c 43 07 22 90 0d 5d
The result strings would be:
%*pE "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"
%*pEhp "\x1bb \C\x07"\x90\x0d]"
%*pEa "\e\142\040\\\103\a\042\220\r\135"

This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless
it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer.
The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype.
The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later
on.

The introduced function string_escape_mem() is a kind of opposite to
string_unescape. We have several users of such functionality each of
them created custom implementation. The series contains clean up of
test suite, adding new call, and switching few users to use it via %*pE
specifier.
Test suite covers all of existing and most of potential use cases.
This patch (of 11):
The documentation of API belongs to c-file. This patch moves it
accordingly.
There is no functional change.

If all the nodes are marked hotpluggable, alloc node data will fail.
Because __next_mem_range_rev() will skip the hotpluggable memory
regions. numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() is called after alloc node
data.
numa_init()
...
ret = init_func(); // this will mark hotpluggable flag from SRAT
...
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
...
ret = numa_register_memblks(&numa_meminfo); // this will alloc node data(pglist_data)
...
numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(); // in case all the nodes are hotpluggable
...
numa_register_memblks()
setup_node_data()
memblock_find_in_range_node()
__memblock_find_range_top_down()
for_each_mem_range_rev()
__next_mem_range_rev()
This patch moves numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() into
numa_register_memblks(), clear kernel node hotpluggable flag before
alloc node data, then alloc node data won't fail even all the nodes
are hotpluggable.

It's very common for the buffer heads in the lru to have different block
numbers. By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can
reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the
entries have the same bdev and size.
In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this
cut the cost of a miss by about 20%.
A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr
comparisons. This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison
is a meaningful portion of the total work being done:

The previous patch made strnicmp into a wrapper for strncasecmp.
This patch makes all in-tree users of strnicmp call strncasecmp
directly, while still making sure that the strnicmp symbol can be used
by out-of-tree modules. It should be considered a temporary hack until
all in-tree callers have been converted.

roughly the same thing, namely compare two strings case-insensitively up
to a given bound. They have slightly different implementations, but the
only important difference is that strncasecmp doesn't handle len==0
appropriately; it effectively becomes strcasecmp in that case. strnicmp
correctly says that two strings are always equal in their first 0
characters.
strncasecmp is the POSIX name for this functionality. So rename the
non-broken function to the standard name. To minimize the impact on the
rest of the kernel (and since both are exported to modules), make strnicmp
a wrapper for strncasecmp.

Resolve some shadow warnings produced in W=2 builds by changing the name
of some parameters and local variables. Change instances of "s64"
because that clashes with the well-known typedef. Also change a local
variable with the name "up" because that clashes with the name of of the
"up" function for semaphores. These are hazards so eliminate the
hazards by renaming them.

Using __seq_open_private() removes boilerplate code from
sysvipc_proc_open().
The resultant code is shorter and easier to follow.
However, please note that __seq_open_private() call kzalloc() rather than
kmalloc() which may affect timing due to the memory initialisation
overhead.

do_shmat() is the only user of ->start_stack (proc just reports its
value), and this check looks ugly and wrong.
The reason for this check is not clear at all, and it wrongly assumes that
the stack can only grow down.
But the main problem is that in general mm->start_stack has nothing to do
with stack_vma->vm_start. Not only the application can switch to another
stack and even unmap this area, setup_arg_pages() expands the stack
without updating mm->start_stack during exec(). This means that in the
likely case "addr > start_stack - size - PAGE_SIZE * 5" is simply
impossible after find_vma_intersection() == F, or the stack can't grow
anyway because of RLIMIT_STACK.
Many thanks to Hugh for his explanations.

proc_dointvec_minmax() returns zero if a new value has been set. So we
don't need to check all charecters have been handled.
Below you can find two examples. In the new value has not been handled
properly.
$ strace ./a.out
open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3
write(3, "0\n\0", 3) = 2
close(3) = 0
exit_group(0)
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
$strace ./a.out
open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3
write(3, "0\n", 2) = 2
close(3) = 0

Use the optimized ioresource lookup, "region_is_ram", for the ioremap
function. If the region is not found, it falls back to the
"page_is_ram" function. If it is found and it is RAM, then the usual
warning message is issued, and the ioremap operation is aborted.
Otherwise, the ioremap operation continues.

We have a large university system in the UK that is experiencing very long
delays modprobing the driver for a specific I/O device. The delay is from
8-10 minutes per device and there are 31 devices in the system. This 4 to
5 hour delay in starting up those I/O devices is very much a burden on the
customer.
There are two causes for requiring a restart/reload of the drivers. First
is periodic preventive maintenance (PM) and the second is if any of the
devices experience a fatal error. Both of these trigger this excessively
long delay in bringing the system back up to full capability.
The problem was tracked down to a very slow IOREMAP operation and the
excessively long ioresource lookup to insure that the user is not
attempting to ioremap RAM. These patches provide a speed up to that
function.
The modprobe time appears to be affected quite a bit by previous activity
on the ioresource list, which I suspect is due to cache preloading. While
the overall improvement is impacted by other overhead of starting the
devices, this drastically improves the modprobe time.
Also our system is considerably smaller so the percentages gained will not
be the same. Best case improvement with the modprobe on our 20 device
smallish system was from 'real 5m51.913s' to 'real 0m18.275s'.
This patch (of 2):
Since the ioremap operation is verifying that the specified address range
is NOT RAM, it will search the entire ioresource list if the condition is
true. To make matters worse, it does this one 4k page at a time. For a
128M BAR region this is 32 passes to determine the entire region does not
contain any RAM addresses.
This patch provides another resource lookup function, region_is_ram, that
searches for the entire region specified, verifying that it is completely
contained within the resource region. If it is found, then it is checked
to be RAM or not, within a single pass.
The return result reflects if it was found or not (-1), and whether it is
RAM (1) or not (0). This allows the caller to fallback to the previous
page by page search if it was not found.
