Mathias Krause 142cda5dbc lib/string_helpers.c: constify static arrays
Complement commit 68aecfb979 ("lib/string_helpers.c: make arrays
static") by making the arrays const -- not only pointing to const
strings.  This moves them out of the data section to the r/o data
section:

George Spelvin 428ac5fc05 libata: Use glob_match from lib/glob.c
The function may be useful for other drivers, so export it.  (Suggested
by Tejun Heo.)

Note that I inverted the return value of glob_match; returning true on
match seemed to make more sense.

George Spelvin 5f9be8248d lib/glob.c: add CONFIG_GLOB_SELFTEST
This was useful during development, and is retained for future
regression testing.

GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
module load.

Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
arrays.  Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read.  At least the
tests are more compact.

This is a helper function from drivers/ata/libata_core.c, where it is

Jan Kara 5874af2003 printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk()
only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for
other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and
deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use
down_trylock()).  However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to
run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in
can_use_console().

We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in
vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH
it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock().

We differ from (reverted) commit 939f04bec1 in that we avoid calling
console_unlock() from vprintk_emit() with lockdep enabled as that has
unveiled quite some bugs leading to system freezes during boot (e.g.
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/30/242,
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/28/521).

Alex Elder 249771b830 printk: miscellaneous cleanups
Some small cleanups to kernel/printk/printk.c.  None of them should
cause any change in behavior.

  - When CONFIG_PRINTK is defined, parenthesize the value of LOG_LINE_MAX.
  - When CONFIG_PRINTK is *not* defined, there is an extra LOG_LINE_MAX
    definition; delete it.
  - Pull an assignment out of a conditional expression in console_setup().
  - Use isdigit() in console_setup() rather than open coding it.
  - In update_console_cmdline(), drop a NUL-termination assignment;
    the strlcpy() call that precedes it guarantees it's not needed.
  - Simplify some logic in printk_timed_ratelimit().

The naming scheme used is different from the one used for
DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL though.  Change that symbol name to be
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT for consistency.  And because the value of that
symbol comes from a similarly-named config option, rename
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL as well.

Alex Elder e97e1267e9 printk: tweak do_syslog() to match comments
In do_syslog() there's a path used by kmsg_poll() and kmsg_read() that
only needs to know whether there's any data available to read (and not
its size).  These callers only check for non-zero return.  As a
shortcut, do_syslog() returns the difference between what has been
logged and what has been "seen."

The comments say that the "count of records" should be returned but it's
not.  Instead it returns (log_next_idx - syslog_idx), which is a
difference between buffer offsets--and the result could be negative.

The behavior is the same (it'll be zero or not in the same cases), but
the count of records is more meaningful and it matches what the comments
say.  So change the code to return that.

Luis R. Rodriguez 23b2899f7f printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs
The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

Luis R. Rodriguez c0a318a361 printk: move power of 2 practice of ring buffer size to a helper
In practice the power of 2 practice of the size of the kernel ring
buffer remains purely historical but not a requirement, specially now
that we have LOG_ALIGN and use it for both static and dynamic
allocations.  It could have helped with implicit alignment back in the
days given the even the dynamically sized ring buffer was guaranteed to
be aligned so long as CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT was set to produce a
__LOG_BUF_LEN which is architecture aligned, since log_buf_len=n would
be allowed only if it was > __LOG_BUF_LEN and we always ended up
rounding the log_buf_len=n to the next power of 2 with
roundup_pow_of_two(), any multiple of 2 then should be also architecture
aligned.  These assumptions of course relied heavily on
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT producing an aligned value but users can always
change this.

We now have precise alignment requirements set for the log buffer size
for both static and dynamic allocations, but lets upkeep the old
practice of using powers of 2 for its size to help with easy expected
scalable values and the allocators for dynamic allocations.  We'll reuse
this later so move this into a helper.

Luis R. Rodriguez 7030017752 printk: make dynamic kernel ring buffer alignment explicit
We have to consider alignment for the ring buffer both for the default
static size, and then also for when an dynamic allocation is made when
the log_buf_len=n kernel parameter is passed to set the size
specifically to a size larger than the default size set by the
architecture through CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT.

The default static kernel ring buffer can be aligned properly if
architectures set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT properly, we provide ranges for
the size though so even if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT has a sensible aligned
value it can be reduced to a non aligned value.  Commit 6ebb017de9
("printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI") by Andrew
Lunn ensures the static buffer is always aligned and the decision of
alignment is done by the compiler by using __alignof__(struct log).

When log_buf_len=n is used we allocate the ring buffer dynamically.
Dynamic allocation varies, for the early allocation called before
setup_arch() memblock_virt_alloc() requests a page aligment and for the
default kernel allocation memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic() requests no
special alignment, which in turn ends up aligning the allocation to
SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which is L1 cache aligned.

Since we already have the required alignment for the kernel ring buffer
though we can do better and request explicit alignment for LOG_ALIGN.
This does that to be safe and make dynamic allocation alignment
explicit.

Jiri Kosina 69102311a5 ./Makefile: tell gcc optimizer to never introduce new data races
We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.

This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
never gccs were used.  I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
out it actually can.

Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
 "More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
  conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
  that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
  loops are executed.  They also perform a simple check whether the
  store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
  variables.  A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
  example the following:

  $ cat cond_store.c

  int g_1 = 1;

  int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));

  int c = 4;

  int __attribute__ ((noinline))
  foo (void)
  {
    int l;
    for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
      if (g_1)
        return l;
      for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
        ;
    }
    return 2;
  }

  int main (int argc, char* argv[])
  {
    if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
      {
        int e = errno;
        error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);
      }
    foo ();
    __builtin_printf("OK\n");
    return 0;
  }
  /* EOF */
  $ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=0
  $ ./a.out

  The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7.  Therefore
  I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
  also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2.  I
  have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
  failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
  and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"

Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
used.

The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
comment from our internal bugzilla:

 "I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
  It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
  gcc-4.3.4.

  The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
  called the following way:

  + vprintk_emit();
      + log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
         or
         log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
         cont_add(log, ...);
          + cont_flush(log, ...);
              + log_store(log, ...);
                    + log_make_free_space(log, ...);

  If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
  modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
  variables:

  It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
  when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
  is decided.  It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
  and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"

I believe that the best course of action is both

 - building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
   optimization turned off
 - persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases

Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to
size_t.

Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud
implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's
limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use
size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.

Weijie Yang d2d5e762c8 zram: replace global tb_lock with fine grain lock
Currently, we use a rwlock tb_lock to protect concurrent access to the
whole zram meta table.  However, according to the actual access model,
there is only a small chance for upper user to access the same
table[index], so the current lock granularity is too big.

The idea of optimization is to change the lock granularity from whole
meta table to per table entry (table -> table[index]), so that we can
protect concurrent access to the same table[index], meanwhile allow the
maximum concurrency.

With this in mind, several kinds of locks which could be used as a
per-entry lock were tested and compared:

Test environment:
x86-64 Intel Core2 Q8400, system memory 4GB, Ubuntu 12.04,
kernel v3.15.0-rc3 as base, zram with 4 max_comp_streams LZO.

iozone test:
iozone -t 4 -R -r 16K -s 200M -I +Z
(1GB zram with ext4 filesystem, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)

To enhance the possibility of access the same table[index] concurrently,
set zram a small disksize(10MB) and let threads run with large loop
count.

fio test:
fio --bs=32k --randrepeat=1 --randseed=100 --refill_buffers
--scramble_buffers=1 --direct=1 --loops=3000 --numjobs=4
--filename=/dev/zram0 --name=seq-write --rw=write --stonewall
--name=seq-read --rw=read --stonewall --name=seq-readwrite
--rw=rw --stonewall --name=rand-readwrite --rw=randrw --stonewall
(10MB zram raw block device, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)

    Test     base     CAS    spinlock    rwlock  bit_spinlock

  rand-rw  1386119  1614664   1617211   1609267   1612471

All the optimization methods show a higher performance than the base,
however, it is hard to say which method is the most appropriate.

On the other hand, zram is mostly used on small embedded system, so we
don't want to increase any memory footprint.

This patch pick the bit_spinlock method, pack object size and page_flag
into an unsigned long table.value, so as to not increase any memory
overhead on both 32-bit and 64-bit system.

On the third hand, even though different kinds of locks have different
performances, we can ignore this difference, because: if zram is used as
zram swapfile, the swap subsystem can prevent concurrent access to the
same swapslot; if zram is used as zram-blk for set up filesystem on it,
the upper filesystem and the page cache also prevent concurrent access
of the same block mostly.  So we can ignore the different performances
among locks.

Max Filippov 15de36a4c3 mm/highmem: make kmap cache coloring aware
User-visible effect:
 Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency
(MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with
aliasing data cache.  Without this fix such architectures can not use
high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of
physical memory is available).

The problem:
 VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from
aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different
virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache.
Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in
different cache locations are said to have different colors.  L1 caching
hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to
software.  Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data
corruption.

What can be done:
 One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time
page mapping changes color.  The other way is to always map physical
page at a virtual address with the same color.  Low memory pages already
have this property.  Giving architecture a way to control color of high
memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias
handling code.

How this is done with this patch:
 Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color.  Such
architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page
mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support
highmem.

This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by
Leonid Yegoshin.

Peter Zijlstra b972216e27 mmu_notifier: add call_srcu and sync function for listener to delay call and sync
When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
methods:

1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module.  The
   funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput.  This method was rejected
   by several ker= nel maintainers.

2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.

The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
itself.  As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
to be done in a delayed fashion.

This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
th= at function with call_srcu.  In that function, the kernel module
releases its object.  To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
needs to call b= efore that a new function called
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.

This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

Peter Feiner 68b5a65248 mm: softdirty: respect VM_SOFTDIRTY in PTE holes
After a VMA is created with the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag set, /proc/pid/pagemap
should report that the VMA's virtual pages are soft-dirty until
VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared (i.e., by the next write of "4" to
/proc/pid/clear_refs).  However, pagemap ignores the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag
for virtual addresses that fall in PTE holes (i.e., virtual addresses
that don't have a PMD, PUD, or PGD allocated yet).

To observe this bug, use mmap to create a VMA large enough such that
there's a good chance that the VMA will occupy an unused PMD, then test
the soft-dirty bit on its pages.  In practice, I found that a VMA that
covered a PMD's worth of address space was big enough.

This patch adds the necessary VMA lookup to the PTE hole callback in
/proc/pid/pagemap's page walk and sets soft-dirty according to the VMAs'
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.

Kirill A. Shutemov aecd6f4426 mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()
Things can go wrong if fault_around_bytes will be changed under
do_fault_around(): between fault_around_mask() and fault_around_pages().

Let's read fault_around_bytes only once during do_fault_around() and
calculate mask based on the reading.

Note: fault_around_bytes can only be updated via debug interface.  Also
I've tried but was not able to trigger a bad behaviour without the
patch.  So I would not consider this patch as urgent.

Jerome Marchand 2ab051e11b memcg, vmscan: Fix forced scan of anonymous pages
When memory cgoups are enabled, the code that decides to force to scan
anonymous pages in get_scan_count() compares global values (free,
high_watermark) to a value that is restricted to a memory cgroup (file).
It make the code over-eager to force anon scan.

For instance, it will force anon scan when scanning a memcg that is
mainly populated by anonymous page, even when there is plenty of file
pages to get rid of in others memcgs, even when swappiness == 0.  It
breaks user's expectation about swappiness and hurts performance.

This patch makes sure that forced anon scan only happens when there not
enough file pages for the all zone, not just in one random memcg.

David Rientjes fb794bcbb4 mm, oom: remove unnecessary exit_state check
The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible
for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of
concurrent memory freeing.  It will abort when an eligible process is
found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and
we're waiting for it to exit.

Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they
are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing
them would not lead to memory freeing.  That memory is only freed after
exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to
NULL.

Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process
is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has
returned.  This was fragile in the past because it relied on
exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE
processes.

Li Zhong d017763931 mm: fix potential infinite loop in dissolve_free_huge_pages()
It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to
0 to indicate huge pages not supported.

When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time:
hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes

Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)

As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before
calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().

David Rientjes 8fe780484d mm, thp: restructure thp avoidance of light synchronous migration
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp
or not, has gained more users.  Their use is not necessarily wrong, they
are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without
disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases.

This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator.  Rather than
testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set
for thp allocations.

This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is
aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting
migration_mode for this case is pointless.

David Rientjes e972a070e2 mm, oom: rename zonelist locking functions
try_set_zonelist_oom() and clear_zonelist_oom() are not named properly
to imply that they require locking semantics to avoid out_of_memory()
being reordered.

zone_scan_lock is required for both functions to ensure that there is
proper locking synchronization.

Rename try_set_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_trylock() and rename
clear_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_unlock() to imply there is proper
locking semantics.

At the same time, convert oom_zonelist_trylock() to return bool instead
of int since only success and failure are tested.

David Rientjes 8d060bf490 mm, oom: ensure memoryless node zonelist always includes zones
With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for
optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist.  When
CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist
for first_online_node may become NULL.

The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for
the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler.

Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.
