Hari Bathini 11550dc0a0 powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump memory reservation
fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel
with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter.  This parameter currently
supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem=<size>
only.  This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like
range-based memory size
<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,<range3>:<size3>,...] which allows
using the same parameter to boot the kernel with different system RAM
sizes.

As crashkernel parameter already supports the above mentioned syntaxes,
this patch deprecates fadump_reserve_mem parameter and reuses
crashkernel parameter instead, to specify memory for fadump's crash
kernel memory reservation as well.  If any offset is provided in
crashkernel parameter, it will be ignored in case of fadump, as fadump
reserves memory at end of RAM.

Advantages using crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter are one less kernel parameter overall, code reuse and support
for multiple syntaxes to specify memory.

Hari Bathini 22bd0177bd powerpc/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC
Now that crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code is
moved under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, remove
dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for CONFIG_FA_DUMP.  While here, get rid of
definitions of fadump_append_elf_note() & fadump_final_note() functions
to reuse similar functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

Hari Bathini 692f66f26a crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE
Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and
reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4.

Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash.  Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism.  Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.

This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel
parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec
support.  Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of
fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump.

The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo
related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.  The
second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code.  The third patch
removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump)
in powerpc.  The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving
memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter.  This
has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports,
for fadump as well.  The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation
about use of crashkernel parameter.

This patch (of 5):

Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash.  Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism.  Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.

But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel
parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.  This patch introduces
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config,
allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  There is no
functional change with this patch.

Alexey Dobriyan c311c79799 cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned
Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
"nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
extensions occur on x86_64.  Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
uses across whole kernel.

Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all.  It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
MOVSX.

Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.

Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.

Hoeun Ryu 19659c59af fork: free vmapped stacks in cache when cpus are offline
Using virtually mapped stack, kernel stacks are allocated via vmalloc.

In the current implementation, two stacks per cpu can be cached when
tasks are freed and the cached stacks are used again in task
duplications.  But the cached stacks may remain unfreed even when cpu
are offline.  By adding a cpu hotplug callback to free the cached stacks
when a cpu goes offline, the pages of the cached stacks are not wasted.

Joe Perches f6950a735f checkpatch: improve the SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test
The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.

Before this patch, for code like:

	if (foo)
	bar();

checkpatch would not emit a warning.

Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.

Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

Jerome Forissier 75ad8c575a checkpatch: add --typedefsfile
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some
project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings.
Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and
deal with this issue.

This was developed for OP-TEE [1].  We run a Travis job on all pull
requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that.  The typical false warning
we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning
TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs.  We
consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core
implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

It's very valuable to have modular tests, so you can run them just by

Tetsuo Handa 780cbcf287 kernel/hung_task.c: defer showing held locks
When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs
locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by
commit b2d4c2edb2 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks").

For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from
for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for
1000 times.  This is a too much noise.

In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should
avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop
because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread()
loop.  Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or
leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.

Vlastimil Babka baf6a9a1db mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for
allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when
possible.

Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable
allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and
terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that
the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block.  Instead there might
be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the
next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase
long-term fragmentation.

To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination
criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even
though the high-order page already exists.  Note that it might be
possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to
parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that.

This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is
limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in
a migratetype fallback.  (Async compaction also eagerly skips
order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of
migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.)

As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be
reduced.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 20%.  The number

Vlastimil Babka 282722b0d2 mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks.  This is a heuristic intended to reduce
latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are
unlikely to contain movable pages.

However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are
not movable.  Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the
chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE
pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse.

This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct
compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the
requested migratetype.  If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such
pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the
allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need
for a fallback.  If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore
this restriction.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 30%.  The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by
12%.

Vlastimil Babka 02aa0cdd72 mm, page_alloc: count movable pages when stealing from pageblock
When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count
how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype
if more than half of the pageblock was free.  This might be too
conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were
allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested.

While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely
(at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count
pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are
either on LRU or __PageMovable().  The rest can be assumed to be
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily
distinguish.  This counting can be done as part of free page stealing
with little additional overhead.

The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus
pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change
pageblock's migratetype.

The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the
actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied
pageblocks.  This should help the efficiency of page grouping by
mobility.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 47%.  The number of movable allocations falling back to other
pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent
fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive.  Later patches also
offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

Vlastimil Babka 3bc48f96cf mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback
The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of
requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one.

There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce
permanent fragmentation.  The main one is to try stealing from a
pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at
once and convert the whole pageblock.  Precise searching for such
pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free
lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block
with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages
in total.

Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also
pages of lower orders from the same block.  But then we still split the
highest order page.  This is wasteful and can contribute to
fragmentation instead of avoiding it.

This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s)
and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only
report whether it was successful.  Then we pick (and eventually split)
the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest().  This all happens under
zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process.  This should
reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks.  At worst we are only stealing a
single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between
lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that
should not be a concern.  As a side benefit the patch removes some
duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

Vlastimil Babka 228d7e3390 mm, compaction: remove redundant watermark check in compact_finished()
When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order
page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own
search for a suitable page in the freelists.  This is not ideal for two
reasons:

 - The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a
   less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste
   of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark
   check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages.

 - The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages.
   Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing
   because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and
   it terminates.

This patch therefore removes the watermark check.  This should save some
cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

Vlastimil Babka f25ba6dccc mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control
Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3.

Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility
grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with
some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling
back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation.

The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone
balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed
wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory.  There were 5 repeats
of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats
below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me).

Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order
used, so I'm not including them.

Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases
the number of compactions, and migrations.  Part of that could be due to
more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping
those.  This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much.  Patch 8
increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the
changed termination criteria.  Interestingly number of compactions
decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple
subsequent allocations, so it amortizes.

Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an
allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which
wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks).  I have
locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into
steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are
allowed to do move_freepages_block().  If we decide to also do
set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with
break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from
which fallback migratetype.  The last part "due to counting" comes from
patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages
allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free
pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold.

What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "...
placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we
are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages.

The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting.  On
the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%.
"Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find
only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks
back.  "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases
the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen.  This affects
all migratetypes.

The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I
believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one.  There's less
pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations.  There's less
stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of
changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more
faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock.
The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock
might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction
when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect.

Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and
also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4.

This patch (of 8):

While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct
compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so
place them all together to the end of the structure.  While at it, just
order all fields from largest to smallest.

Masahiro Yamada 37d69ee308 docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81
Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
3.80. Example errors:

  $ git describe
  v4.11
  $ make --version | head -1
  GNU Make 3.80
  $ make defconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator.  Stop.
  make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
  $ make ARCH=arm64 help

  ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
  ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.
  make: *** [help] Error 2

The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e ("kbuild:
handle multi-objs dependency appropriately").  Since then (i.e. v3.18),
GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.

Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old.  It would not hurt to
match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

Linus Torvalds 394e4f5d58 initramfs: avoid "label at end of compound statement" error
Commit 17a9be3174 ("initramfs: Always do fput() and load modules after
rootfs populate") introduced an error for the

    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y

case, because even though the code looks fine, the compiler really wants
a statement after a label, or you'll get complaints:

  init/initramfs.c: In function 'populate_rootfs':
  init/initramfs.c:644:2: error: label at end of compound statement

That commit moved the subsequent statements to outside the compound
statement, leaving the label without any associated statements.

Linus Torvalds 2eecf3a49f - DM cache metadata fixes to short-circuit operations that require the
metadata not be in 'fail_io' mode.  Otherwise crashes are possible.
 
 - a DM cache fix to address the inability to adapt to continuous IO that
   happened to also reflect a changing working set (which required old
   blocks be demoted before the new working set could be promoted)
 
 - a DM cache smq policy cleanup that fell out from reviewing the above
 
 - fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DM_INTEGRITY

Linus Torvalds 53ef7d0e20 libnvdimm for 4.12
* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
 to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
 the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
 in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
 or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
 generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
 subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
 submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
 
 * Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
 a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
 capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
 the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
 persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
 and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
 
 * 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
 available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
 controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
 flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
 mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
 to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
 is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
 also tagged for -stable.
 
 * ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
 DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
 debug available by default, and various fixes.

Linus Torvalds c6a677c6f3 Staging/IIO patches for 4.12-rc1
Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1.  And it's a big one,
 adding about 350k new lines of crap^Wcode, mostly all in a big dump of
 media drivers from Intel.  But there's other new drivers in here as
 well, yet-another-wifi driver, new IIO drivers, and a new crypto
 accelerator.  We also deleted a bunch of stuff, mostly in patch
 cleanups, but also the Android ION code has shrunk a lot, and the
 Android low memory killer driver was finally deleted, much to the
 celebration of the -mm developers.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with a few build issues that will
 show up when you merge to your tree, I'll follow up with fixes for those
 after this gets merged.
