Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.
However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".
To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")
Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
false
- Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
space.
- Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
driver.
- Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
the reduced bit information with the original value.
- Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
the entry patch to the lower registers"

The code to verify the new kernels sha digest is applicable for all
architectures. Move it to common code.
One problem is the string.c implementation on x86. Currently sha256
includes x86/boot/string.h which defines memcpy and memset to be gcc
builtins. By moving the sha256 implementation to common code and
changing the include to linux/string.h both functions are no longer
defined. Thus definitions have to be provided in x86/purgatory/string.c

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they
are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the
kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular,
kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets
the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it.
Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1
in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This
allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works
fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the
architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer.
Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing
kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change
architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need.
A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the
purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information
stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the
relocations are applied to is writable. The other sections, i.e. the
symtab and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory. Highlight this
by marking the corresponding variables as 'const'.
While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to
take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section.
This removes the second lookup and sanity check of the sections in arch
code.

The kexec_purgatory buffer is read-only. Thus all pointers into

Patch series "kexec_file: Clean up purgatory load", v2.
Following the discussion with Dave and AKASHI, here are the common code
patches extracted from my recent patch set (Add kexec_file_load support
to s390) [1]. The patches were extracted to allow upstream integration
together with AKASHI's common code patches before the arch code gets
adjusted to the new base.
The reason for this series is to prepare common code for adding
kexec_file_load to s390 as well as cleaning up the mis-use of the
sh_offset field during purgatory load. In detail this series contains:
Patch #1&2: Minor cleanups/fixes.
Patch #3-9: Clean up the purgatory load/relocation code. Especially
remove the mis-use of the purgatory_info->sechdrs->sh_offset field,
currently holding a pointer into either kexec_purgatory (ro) or
purgatory_buf (rw) depending on the section. With these patches the
section address will be calculated verbosely and sh_offset will contain
the offset of the section in the stripped purgatory binary
(purgatory_buf).
Patch #10: Allows architectures to set the purgatory load address. This
patch is important for s390 as the kernel and purgatory have to be
loaded to fixed addresses. In current code this is impossible as the
purgatory load is opaque to the architecture.
Patch #11: Moves x86 purgatories sha implementation to common lib/
directory to allow reuse in other architectures.
This patch (of 11)
When building the kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled gcc prints a
compile warning multiple times.
In file included from <path>/linux/init/initramfs.c:526:0:
<path>/include/linux/kexec.h:120:9: warning: `struct kimage' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
unsigned long cmdline_len);
^
This is because the typedefs for kexec_file_load uses struct kimage
before it is declared. Fix this by simply forward declaring struct
kimage.

In the previous patches, commonly-used routines, exclude_mem_range() and
prepare_elf64_headers(), were carved out. Now place them in kexec
common code. A prefix "crash_" is given to each of their names to avoid
possible name collisions.

As arch_kexec_kernel_image_{probe,load}(),
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() and arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()
are almost duplicated among architectures, they can be commonalized with
an architecture-defined kexec_file_ops array. So let's factor them out.

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The large diff this time around is from the addition of a new clk
driver for the TI Davinci family of SoCs. So far those clks have been
supported with a custom implementation of the clk API in the arch port
instead of in the CCF. With this driver merged we're one step closer
to having a single clk API implementation.
The other large diff is from the Amlogic clk driver that underwent
some major surgery to use regmap. Beyond that, the biggest hitter is
Samsung which needed some reworks to properly handle clk provider
power domains and a bunch of PLL rate updates.
The core framework was fairly quiet this round, just getting some
cleanups and small fixes for some of the more esoteric features. And
the usual set of driver non-critical fixes, cleanups, and minor
additions are here as well.
Core:
- Rejig clk_ops::init() to be a little earlier for phase/accuracy ops
- debugfs ops macroized to shave some lines of boilerplate code

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle loop
in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle
states. It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may
improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead
matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been
tested and reviewed quite thoroughly.
Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving
frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and
cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM
QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.
Specifics:
- Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.
That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).
- Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the
cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).
- Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from
drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
(Gregory Clement).
- Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for
shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).
- Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a
bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo

This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *. 32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes. Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.
Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().
Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

Patch series "XArray", v9. (First part thereof).
This patchset is, I believe, appropriate for merging for 4.17. It
contains the XArray implementation, to eventually replace the radix
tree, and converts the page cache to use it.
This conversion keeps the radix tree and XArray data structures in sync
at all times. That allows us to convert the page cache one function at
a time and should allow for easier bisection. Other than renaming some
elements of the structures, the data structures are fundamentally
unchanged; a radix tree walk and an XArray walk will touch the same
number of cachelines. I have changes planned to the XArray data
structure, but those will happen in future patches.
Improvements the XArray has over the radix tree:
- The radix tree provides operations like other trees do; 'insert' and
'delete'. But what most users really want is an automatically
resizing array, and so it makes more sense to give users an API that
is like an array -- 'load' and 'store'. We still have an 'insert'
operation for users that really want that semantic.
- The XArray considers locking as part of its API. This simplifies a
lot of users who formerly had to manage their own locking just for
the radix tree. It also improves code generation as we can now tell
RCU that we're holding a lock and it doesn't need to generate as much
fencing code. The other advantage is that tree nodes can be moved
(not yet implemented).
- GFP flags are now parameters to calls which may need to allocate
memory. The radix tree forced users to decide what the allocation
flags would be at creation time. It's much clearer to specify them at
allocation time.
- Memory is not preloaded; we don't tie up dozens of pages on the off
chance that the slab allocator fails. Instead, we drop the lock,
allocate a new node and retry the operation. We have to convert all
the radix tree, IDA and IDR preload users before we can realise this
benefit, but I have not yet found a user which cannot be converted.
- The XArray provides a cmpxchg operation. The radix tree forces users
to roll their own (and at least four have).
- Iterators take a 'max' parameter. That simplifies many users and will
reduce the amount of iteration done.
- Iteration can proceed backwards. We only have one user for this, but
since it's called as part of the pagefault readahead algorithm, that
seemed worth mentioning.
- RCU-protected pointers are not exposed as part of the API. There are
some fun bugs where the page cache forgets to use rcu_dereference()
in the current codebase.
- Value entries gain an extra bit compared to radix tree exceptional
entries. That gives us the extra bit we need to put huge page swap
entries in the page cache.
- Some iterators now take a 'filter' argument instead of having
separate iterators for tagged/untagged iterations.
The page cache is improved by this:
- Shorter, easier to read code
- More efficient iterations
- Reduction in size of struct address_space
- Fewer walks from the top of the data structure; the XArray API
encourages staying at the leaf node and conducting operations there.
This patch (of 8):
None of these bits may be used for slab allocations, so we can use them
as radix tree flags as long as we mask them off before passing them to
the slab allocator. Move the IDR flag from the high bits to the
GFP_ZONEMASK bits.

ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():
#define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)
This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it to a
common header. Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.
I also added _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly used in
the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL). I expect they will be
replaced in follow-up cleanups. The underscore-prefixed ones should
be used for exported headers.

Since the stack rlimit is used in multiple places during exec and it can
be changed via other threads (via setrlimit()) or processes (via
prlimit()), the assumption that the value doesn't change cannot be made.
This leads to races with mm layout selection and argument size
calculations. This changes the exec path to use the rlimit stored in
bprm instead of in current. Before starting the thread, the bprm stack
rlimit is stored back to current.

Patch series "exec: Pin stack limit during exec".
Attempts to solve problems with the stack limit changing during exec
continue to be frustrated[1][2]. In addition to the specific issues
around the Stack Clash family of flaws, Andy Lutomirski pointed out[3]
other places during exec where the stack limit is used and is assumed to
be unchanging. Given the many places it gets used and the fact that it
can be manipulated/raced via setrlimit() and prlimit(), I think the only
way to handle this is to move away from the "current" view of the stack
limit and instead attach it to the bprm, and plumb this down into the
functions that need to know the stack limits. This series implements
the approach.
[1] 04e35f4495dd ("exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()")
[2] 779f4e1c6c7c ("Revert "exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()"")
[3] to [email protected], "Subject: existing rlimit races?"
This patch (of 3):
Since it is possible that the stack rlimit can change externally during
exec (either via another thread calling setrlimit() or another process
calling prlimit()), provide a way to pass the rlimit down into the
per-architecture mm layout functions so that the rlimit can stay in the
bprm structure instead of sitting in the signal structure until exec is
finalized.

Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.
0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed.
1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.
2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.
o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage
Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0
If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.
FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.
Useless reclaim:
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.
Atomic allocation failure:
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
Useless compaction:
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.
3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.
New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.
There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file
cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is
pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.
Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all.

Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that
important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would
theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page
allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM].
And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size
makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following
reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily
misleading people.
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
32
#endif
This patch also fixes this situation by defining
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to
right place.

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by spliting the THP into small pages while moving the head
page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaning pages are moved to
the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP allocation
fails. This is really ugly and error prone [1].
I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.
This patch tries to unclutter the situation by moving the special THP
handling up to the migrate_pages layer where it actually belongs. We
simply split the THP page into the existing list if unmap_and_move fails
with ENOMEM and retry. So we will _always_ migrate all THP subpages and
specific migrate_pages users do not have to deal with this case in a
special way.

No allocation callback is using this argument anymore. new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp. migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array). The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now. All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

Commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.
For memory.stat this is acceptable. But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.
Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.
This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters. That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

The last fix was still wrong, as we need the inline dummy functions also
for the case that CONFIG_HMM is enabled but CONFIG_HMM_MIRROR is not:
kernel/fork.o: In function `__mmdrop':
fork.c:(.text+0x14f6): undefined reference to `hmm_mm_destroy'
This adds back the second copy of the dummy functions, hopefully
this time in the right place.

Users of hmm_vma_fault() and hmm_vma_get_pfns() provide a flags array and
pfn shift value allowing them to define their own encoding for HMM pfn
that are fill inside the pfns array of the hmm_range struct. With this
device driver can get pfn that match their own private encoding out of HMM
without having to do any conversion.

This changes hmm_vma_fault() to not take a global write fault flag for a
range but instead rely on caller to populate HMM pfns array with proper
fault flag ie HMM_PFN_VALID if driver want read fault for that address or
HMM_PFN_VALID and HMM_PFN_WRITE for write.
Moreover by setting HMM_PFN_DEVICE_PRIVATE the device driver can ask for
device private memory to be migrated back to system memory through page
fault.
This is more flexible API and it better reflects how device handles and
reports fault.
