2016-10-29ACPICA: Dispatcher: Fix order issue of method terminationLv Zheng1-20/+20
The last step of the method termination should be the end of the method serialization. Otherwise, the steps happening after it will face the race issues that cannot be protected by the method serialization mechanism. This patch fixes this issue by moving the per-method-object deletion code prior than the end of the method serialization. Otherwise, the possible race issues may result in AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error in a parallel environment.

2016-10-28ARC: module: elide loop to save reference to .eh_frameVineet Gupta2-10/+9
The loop was really needed in .debug_frame regime where wanted make it as SH_ALLOC so that apply_relocate_add() would process it. That's not needed for .eh_frame, so we check this in apply_relocate_add() which gets called for each section. Note that we need to save reference to "section name strings" section in module_frob_arch_sections() since apply_relocate_add() doesn't get that Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]>

2016-10-28ARC: boot log: refactor cpu name/release printingVineet Gupta3-24/+34
The motivation is to identify ARC750 vs. ARC770 (we currently print generic "ARC700"). A given ARC700 release could be 750 or 770, with same ARCNUM (or family identifier which is unfortunate). The existing arc_cpu_tbl[] kept a single concatenated string for core name and release which thus doesn't work for 750 vs. 770 identification. So split this into 2 tables, one with core names and other with release. And while we are at it, get rid of the range checking for family numbers. We just document the known to exist cores running Linux and ditch others. With this in place, we add detection of ARC750 which is - cores 0x33 and before - cores 0x34 and later with MMUv2 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]>

2016-10-28ARC: boot log: refactor printing abt features not captured in BCRsVineet Gupta2-45/+43
On older arc700 cores, some of the features configured were not present in Build config registers. To print about them at boot, we just use the Kconfig option i.e. whether linux is built to use them or not. So yes this seems bogus, but what else can be done. Moreover if linux is booting with these enabled, then the Kconfig info is a good indicator anyways. Over time these "hacks" accumulated in read_arc_build_cfg_regs() as well as arc_cpu_mumbojumbo(). so refactor and move all of those in a single place: read_arc_build_cfg_regs(). This causes some code redcution too: | bloat-o-meter2 arch/arc/kernel/setup.o.0 arch/arc/kernel/setup.o.1 | add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 64/-132 (-68) | function old new delta | setup_processor 610 670 +60 | cpuinfo_arc700 76 80 +4 | arc_cpu_mumbojumbo 752 620 -132 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]>

2016-10-28perf/x86/intel: Honour the CPUID for number of fixed counters in hypervisorsImre Palik1-3/+7
perf doesn't seem to honour the number of fixed counters specified by CPUID leaf 0xa. It always assumes that Intel CPUs have at least 3 fixed counters. So if some of the fixed counters are masked out by the hypervisor, it still tries to check/set them. This patch makes perf behave nicer when the kernel is running under a hypervisor that doesn't expose all the counters. This patch contains some ideas from Matt Wilson.

2016-10-28perf/core: Protect PMU device removal with a 'pmu_bus_running' check, to fix ↵Jiri Olsa1-4/+9
CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y kernel panic CAI Qian reported a crash in the PMU uncore device removal code, enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147688837328451 The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag. The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device later only if it's set.

2016-10-28x86/microcode/AMD: Fix more fallout from CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=yBorislav Petkov1-1/+1
We needed the physical address of the container in order to compute the offset within the relocated ramdisk. And we did this by doing __pa() on the virtual address. However, __pa() does checks whether the physical address is within PAGE_OFFSET and __START_KERNEL_map - see __phys_addr() - which fail if we have CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY enabled: we feed a virtual address which *doesn't* have the randomization offset into a function which uses PAGE_OFFSET which *does* have that offset. This makes this check fire: VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((x > y) || !phys_addr_valid(x)); ^^^^^^ due to the randomization offset. The fix is as simple as using __pa_nodebug() because we do that randomization offset accounting later in that function ourselves.

2016-10-27lib/genalloc.c: start search from start of chunkDaniel Mentz1-1/+2
gen_pool_alloc_algo() iterates over the chunks of a pool trying to find a contiguous block of memory that satisfies the allocation request. The shortcut if (size > atomic_read(&chunk->avail)) continue; makes the loop skip over chunks that do not have enough bytes left to fulfill the request. There are two situations, though, where an allocation might still fail: (1) The available memory is not contiguous, i.e. the request cannot be fulfilled due to external fragmentation. (2) A race condition. Another thread runs the same code concurrently and is quicker to grab the available memory. In those situations, the loop calls pool->algo() to search the entire chunk, and pool->algo() returns some value that is >= end_bit to indicate that the search failed. This return value is then assigned to start_bit. The variables start_bit and end_bit describe the range that should be searched, and this range should be reset for every chunk that is searched. Today, the code fails to reset start_bit to 0. As a result, prefixes of subsequent chunks are ignored. Memory allocations might fail even though there is plenty of room left in these prefixes of those other chunks.

But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it. Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

2016-10-27lib/stackdepot.c: bump stackdepot capacity from 16MB to 128MBDmitry Vyukov1-1/+1
KASAN uses stackdepot to memorize stacks for all kmalloc/kfree calls. Current stackdepot capacity is 16MB (1024 top level entries x 4 pages on second level). Size of each stack is (num_frames + 3) * sizeof(long). Which gives us ~84K stacks. This capacity was chosen empirically and it is enough to run kernel normally. However, when lots of configs are enabled and a fuzzer tries to maximize code coverage, it easily hits the limit within tens of minutes. I've tested for long a time with number of top level entries bumped 4x (4096). And I think I've seen overflow only once. But I don't have all configs enabled and code coverage has not reached maximum yet. So bump it 8x to 8192. Since we have two-level table, memory cost of this is very moderate -- currently the top-level table is 8KB, with this patch it is 64KB, which is negligible under KASAN. Here is some approx math. 128MB allows us to memorize ~670K stacks (assuming stack is ~200b). I've grepped kernel for kmalloc|kfree|kmem_cache_alloc|kmem_cache_free| kzalloc|kstrdup|kstrndup|kmemdup and it gives ~60K matches. Most of alloc/free call sites are reachable with only one stack. But some utility functions can have large fanout. Assuming average fanout is 5x, total number of alloc/free stacks is ~300K.

2016-10-27kconfig.h: remove config_enabled() macroMasahiro Yamada3-7/+6
The use of config_enabled() is ambiguous. For config options, IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. will make intention clearer. Sometimes config_enabled() has been used for non-config options because it is useful to check whether the given symbol is defined or not. I have been tackling on deprecating config_enabled(), and now is the time to finish this work. Some new users have appeared for v4.9-rc1, but it is trivial to replace them: - arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() because CONFIG_X86_ESPFIX64 and CONFIG_EFI are boolean. - include/asm-generic/export.h replace config_enabled() with __is_defined(). Then, config_enabled() can be removed now. Going forward, please use IS_ENABLED(), IS_REACHABLE(), etc. for config options, and __is_defined() for non-config symbols.

When kmem accounting switched from account by default to only account if flagged by __GFP_ACCOUNT, IPC mqueue and messages was left out. The production use case at hand is that mqueues should be customizable via sysctls in Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster. This can only be safely allowed to the users of the cluster (without the risk that they can cause resource shortage on a node, influencing other users' containers) if all resources they control are bounded, i.e. accounted for.

2016-10-27mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo statsAruna Ramakrishna2-16/+28
On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband). This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance improved from 2s to 5ms.
