2020-10-13mm: memcontrol: add the missing numa_stat interface for cgroup v2Muchun Song1-20/+49
In the cgroup v1, we have a numa_stat interface. This is useful for providing visibility into the numa locality information within an memcg since the pages are allowed to be allocated from any physical node. One of the use cases is evaluating application performance by combining this information with the application's CPU allocation. But the cgroup v2 does not. So this patch adds the missing information.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: "The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation, including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers. The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being discussed and should be ready for the next release. The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message can be extended. The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the descriptor ring with other metadata. The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata. This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers 2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]. The next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal system operation. It will require special handling of situations when the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot, suspend, panic. Other changes: - Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of the rework and is familiar with the code and history. - Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report. - Few code cleanups" * tag 'printk-for-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (27 commits) printk: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword printk: reduce setup_text_buf size to LOG_LINE_MAX printk: avoid and/or handle record truncation printk: remove dict ring printk: move dictionary keys to dev_printk_info printk: move printk_info into separate array printk: reimplement log_cont using record extension printk: ringbuffer: add finalization/extension support printk: ringbuffer: change representation of states printk: ringbuffer: clear initial reserved fields printk: ringbuffer: add BLK_DATALESS() macro printk: ringbuffer: relocate get_data() printk: ringbuffer: avoid memcpy() on state_var printk: ringbuffer: fix setting state in desc_read() kernel.h: Move oops_in_progress to printk.h scripts/gdb: update for lockless printk ringbuffer scripts/gdb: add utils.read_ulong() docs: vmcoreinfo: add lockless printk ringbuffer vmcoreinfo printk: reduce LOG_BUF_SHIFT range for H8300 printk: ringbuffer: support dataless records ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This time very little driver changes but lots of core changes. We have some interesting cooperative work for ARM and Intel alike, making the GPIO subsystem more and more suitable for industrial systems and the like, in addition to the in-kernel users. We touch driver core (device properties) and lib/* by adding one simple string array free function, these are authored by Andy Shevchenko who is a well known and recognized core helpers maintainers so this should be fine. We also see some Android GKI-related modularization in the MXC drivers. Core changes: - The big core change is the updated (v2) userspace character device API. This corrects badly designed 64-bit alignment around the line events. We also add the debounce request feature. This echoes the often quotes passage from Frederick Brooks "The mythical man-month" to always throw one away, which we have seen before in things such as V4L2. So we put in a new one and deprecate and obsolete the old one. - All example tools in tools/gpio/* are migrated to the new API to set a good example. The libgpiod userspace library has been augmented to use this new API pretty much from day 1. - Some misc API hardening by using strn* function calls has been added as well. - Use the simpler IDA interface for GPIO chip instance enumeration. - Add device core function for counting string arrays in device properties. - Provide a generic library function kfree_strarray() that can be used throughout the kernel. Driver enhancements: - The DesignWare dwapb-gpio driver has been enhanced and now uses the IRQ handling in the gpiolib core. - The mockup and aggregator drivers have seen some substantial code clean-up and now use more of the core kernel inftrastructure. - Misc cleanups using dev_err_probe(). - The MXC drivers (Freescale/NXP) can now be built modularized, which makes modularized GKI Android kernels happy" * tag 'gpio-v5.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (73 commits) gpiolib: Update header block in gpiolib-cdev.h gpiolib: cdev: switch from kstrdup() to kstrndup() docs: gpio: add a new document to its index.rst gpio: pca953x: Add support for the NXP PCAL9554B/C tools: gpio: add debounce support to gpio-event-mon tools: gpio: add multi-line monitoring to gpio-event-mon tools: gpio: port gpio-event-mon to v2 uAPI tools: gpio: port gpio-hammer to v2 uAPI tools: gpio: rename nlines to num_lines tools: gpio: port gpio-watch to v2 uAPI tools: gpio: port lsgpio to v2 uAPI gpio: uapi: document uAPI v1 as deprecated gpiolib: cdev: support setting debounce gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_VALUES_IOCTL gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL gpiolib: cdev: support edge detection for uAPI v2 gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL gpiolib: add build option for CDEV v1 ABI gpiolib: make cdev a build option ...

2020-10-13LSM: SafeSetID: Add GID security policy handlingThomas Cedeno1-9/+20
The SafeSetID LSM has functionality for restricting setuid() calls based on its configured security policies. This patch adds the analogous functionality for setgid() calls. This is mostly a copy-and-paste change with some code deduplication, plus slight modifications/name changes to the policy-rule-related structs (now contain GID rules in addition to the UID ones) and some type generalization since SafeSetID now needs to deal with kgid_t and kuid_t types.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "There's quite a lot of code here, but much of it is due to the addition of a new PMU driver as well as some arm64-specific selftests which is an area where we've traditionally been lagging a bit. In terms of exciting features, this includes support for the Memory Tagging Extension which narrowly missed 5.9, hopefully allowing userspace to run with use-after-free detection in production on CPUs that support it. Work is ongoing to integrate the feature with KASAN for 5.11. Another change that I'm excited about (assuming they get the hardware right) is preparing the ASID allocator for sharing the CPU page-table with the SMMU. Those changes will also come in via Joerg with the IOMMU pull. We do stray outside of our usual directories in a few places, mostly due to core changes required by MTE. Although much of this has been Acked, there were a couple of places where we unfortunately didn't get any review feedback. Other than that, we ran into a handful of minor conflicts in -next, but nothing that should post any issues. Summary: - Userspace support for the Memory Tagging Extension introduced by Armv8.5. Kernel support (via KASAN) is likely to follow in 5.11. - Selftests for MTE, Pointer Authentication and FPSIMD/SVE context switching. - Fix and subsequent rewrite of our Spectre mitigations, including the addition of support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC. - Support for the Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements. - Support for ASID pinning, which is required when sharing page-tables with the SMMU. - MM updates, including treating flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as a no-op. - Perf/PMU driver updates, including addition of the ARM CMN PMU driver and also support to handle CPU PMU IRQs as NMIs. - Allow prefetchable PCI BARs to be exposed to userspace using normal non-cacheable mappings. - Implementation of ARCH_STACKWALK for unwinding. - Improve reporting of unexpected kernel traps due to BPF JIT failure. - Improve robustness of user-visible HWCAP strings and their corresponding numerical constants. - Removal of TEXT_OFFSET. - Removal of some unused functions, parameters and prototypes. - Removal of MPIDR-based topology detection in favour of firmware description. - Cleanups to handling of SVE and FPSIMD register state in preparation for potential future optimisation of handling across syscalls. - Cleanups to the SDEI driver in preparation for support in KVM. - Miscellaneous cleanups and refactoring work" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (148 commits) Revert "arm64: initialize per-cpu offsets earlier" arm64: random: Remove no longer needed prototypes arm64: initialize per-cpu offsets earlier kselftest/arm64: Check mte tagged user address in kernel kselftest/arm64: Verify KSM page merge for MTE pages kselftest/arm64: Verify all different mmap MTE options kselftest/arm64: Check forked child mte memory accessibility kselftest/arm64: Verify mte tag inclusion via prctl kselftest/arm64: Add utilities and a test to validate mte memory perf: arm-cmn: Fix conversion specifiers for node type perf: arm-cmn: Fix unsigned comparison to less than zero arm64: dbm: Invalidate local TLB when setting TCR_EL1.HD arm64: mm: Make flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() a no-op arm64: Add support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC prctl() option arm64: Pull in task_stack_page() to Spectre-v4 mitigation code KVM: arm64: Allow patching EL2 vectors even with KASLR is not enabled arm64: Get rid of arm64_ssbd_state KVM: arm64: Convert ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 to arm64_get_spectre_v4_state() KVM: arm64: Get rid of kvm_arm_have_ssbd() KVM: arm64: Simplify handling of ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 ...

2020-09-25nfsd: remove fault injection codeJ. Bruce Fields2-71/+0
It was an interesting idea but nobody seems to be using it, it's buggy at this point, and nfs4state.c is already complicated enough without it. The new nfsd/clients/ code provides some of the same functionality, and could probably do more if desired. This feature has been deprecated since 9d60d93198c6 ("Deprecate nfsd fault injection").

2020-09-25xfs: remove deprecated sysctl optionsPavel Reichl1-1/+6
These optionr were for Irix compatibility, probably for clustered XFS clients in a heterogenous cluster which contained both Irix & Linux machines, so that behavior would be consistent. That doesn't exist anymore and it's no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Pavel Reichl <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2020-09-25xfs: remove deprecated mount optionsPavel Reichl1-0/+2
ikeep/noikeep was a workaround for old DMAPI code which is no longer relevant. attr2/noattr2 - is for controlling upgrade behaviour from fixed attribute fork sizes in the inode (attr1) and dynamic attribute fork sizes (attr2). mkfs has defaulted to setting attr2 since 2007, hence just about every XFS filesystem out there in production right now uses attr2.

2020-09-24Documentation: kernel-parameters: clarify "module." parametersRandy Dunlap1-2/+2
The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the help text. OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c so "module." is correct for it.

2020-09-24docs: rewrite admin-guide/sysctl/abi.rstStephen Kitt1-0/+2
Following the structure used in sysctl/kernel.rst, this updates abi.rst to use ReStructured Text more fully and updates the entries to match current kernels: * the list of files is now the table of contents; * links are used to point to other documentation and other sections; * all the existing entries are no longer present, so this removes them; * document vsyscall32. Mentions of the kernel version are dropped. Since the document is entirely rewritten, I've replaced the copyright statement.

2020-09-23cpuidle: record state entry rejection statisticsLina Iyer1-0/+9
CPUs may fail to enter the chosen idle state if there was a pending interrupt, causing the cpuidle driver to return an error value. Record that and export it via sysfs along with the other idle state statistics. This could prove useful in understanding behavior of the governor and the system during usecases that involve multiple CPUs.
