      mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes · 1d82de61
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Patch "mm: vmscan: Begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis" started
      thinking of reclaim in terms of nodes but kswapd is still zone-centric.
      This patch gets rid of many of the node-based versus zone-based
      decisions.
      
      o A node is considered balanced when any eligible lower zone is balanced.
        This eliminates one class of age-inversion problem because we avoid
        reclaiming a newer page just because it's in the wrong zone
      o pgdat_balanced disappears because we now only care about one zone being
        balanced.
      o Some anomalies related to writeback and congestion tracking being based on
        zones disappear.
      o kswapd no longer has to take care to reclaim zones in the reverse order
        that the page allocator uses.
      o Most importantly of all, reclaim from node 0 with multiple zones will
        have similar aging and reclaiming characteristics as every
        other node.

      mm, vmscan: have kswapd only scan based on the highest requested zone · f7b60926
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      kswapd checks all eligible zones to see if they need balancing even if
      it was woken for a lower zone.  This made sense when we reclaimed on a
      per-zone basis because we wanted to shrink zones fairly so avoid
      age-inversion problems.  Ideally this is completely unnecessary when
      reclaiming on a per-node basis.  In theory, there may still be anomalies
      when all requests are for lower zones and very old pages are preserved
      in higher zones but this should be the exceptional case.

      mm, vmscan: begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis · b2e18757
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch makes reclaim decisions on a per-node basis.  A reclaimer
      knows what zone is required by the allocation request and skips pages
      from higher zones.  In many cases this will be ok because it's a
      GFP_HIGHMEM request of some description.  On 64-bit, ZONE_DMA32 requests
      will cause some problems but 32-bit devices on 64-bit platforms are
      increasingly rare.  Historically it would have been a major problem on
      32-bit with big Highmem:Lowmem ratios but such configurations are also
      now rare and even where they exist, they are not encouraged.  If it
      really becomes a problem, it'll manifest as very low reclaim
      efficiencies.

      mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node · 599d0c95
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
      as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
      
      Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
      necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
      logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
      logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
      active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
      per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
      lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
      
      Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
      that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
      per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
      when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
      later but is easier to review.
      
      In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
      the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
      
      1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
      
         When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
         list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
         highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
         keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
         arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
         could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
      
         That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
         highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
      
      2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
      
         This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
         memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking.  This is a
      preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
      patches are easier to review.  It is a mechanical change but note this
      patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
      reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
      from different zones.

      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
      
      This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node.  While this is a
      current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
      Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
      Some of the broad motivations for this are;
      
      1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
         allocated from.  This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
         policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
         page allocator paths.
      
      2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
         example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
         the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
         in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
         unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
         to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
         again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
         problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
         always be different to a single-zone node.
         it was scheduled on as a result.
      
      3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
         avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing.  This
         mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
         in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
         from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
         zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
         if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
      
      4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
         relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
      
      The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
      large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
      to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
      less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
      64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
      rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
      ratios than we worried about in the past.
      
      Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
      page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
      similarly on all nodes.
      
      The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
      core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
      machine behaved similarly.

      This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
      allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
      shown as the other orders were comparable.

      tiobench on ext4
      ----------------
      
      tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
      while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
      problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
      that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
      problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

      This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
      desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
      zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
      one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall
      reclaim activity

      reclaim activity but negligible in the context of the overall workload
      (velocity of 4 pages per second with the patches applied, 1.6 pages per

      It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in
      both kernels. There was also comparable slab scanning activity and direct
      reclaim was avoided in both cases. There appears to be a large difference
      in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
      is likely a timing artifact.
      
      stutter
      -------
      
      stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous
      memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file.
      The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

      While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
      a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
      that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
      
      This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
      that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
      that area.
      
      1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
         no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
         so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
         have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
      
      2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
         are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
         is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
         is required.
      
      3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
         distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
         something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
         necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
      
      VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based.  If the kernel
      is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
      statistics but there is no infrastructure for that.  The most notable
      change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
      sum_zone_node_page_state.  The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
      uses per-node stats but none exist yet.  There is some renaming such as
      vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
      of mod_state to mod_zone_state.  Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
      patch with no functional change.  There is a lot of similarity between the
      node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
      reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

      cpuset, mm: fix TIF_MEMDIE check in cpuset_change_task_nodemask · fec1e5f9
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
      changing cpuset's mems") has added TIF_MEMDIE and PF_EXITING check but
      it is checking the flag on the current task rather than the given one.
      
      This doesn't make much sense and it is actually wrong.  If the current
      task which updates the nodemask of a cpuset got killed by the OOM killer
      then a part of the cpuset cgroup processes would have incompatible
      nodemask which is surprising to say the least.
      
      The comment suggests the intention was to skip oom victim or an exiting
      task so we should be checking the given task.  But even then it would be
      layering violation because it is the memory allocator to interpret the
      TIF_MEMDIE meaning.  Simply drop both checks.  All tasks in the cpuset
      should simply follow the same mask.

      freezer, oom: check TIF_MEMDIE on the correct task · a34c80a7
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      freezing_slow_path() is checking TIF_MEMDIE to skip OOM killed tasks.
      It is, however, checking the flag on the current task rather than the
      given one.  This is really confusing because freezing() can be called
      also on !current tasks.  It would end up working correctly for its main
      purpose because __refrigerator will be always called on the current task
      so the oom victim will never get frozen.  But it could lead to
      surprising results when a task which is freezing a cgroup got oom killed
      because only part of the cgroup would get frozen.  This is highly
      unlikely but worth fixing as the resulting code would be more clear
      anyway.

      mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code · 55779ec7
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Commit 23047a96 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash
      detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction,
      refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation
      path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%.
      
      While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that
      doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel
      at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some
      optimizations that can be done in those paths.
      
      Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls.  Also, page->mem_cgroup
      doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely
      need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.
      
      This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:

      Michal Hocko 提交于
      "mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around
      task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a
      potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the
      oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim.
      
      Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race
      would be still possible.  The code would be racy and lockup prone
      theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't
      considered this a big deal.  But it seems that further changes I am
      planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as
      well.  So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call
      it from under task_lock as we did previously.  Just pull the task->mm !=
      NULL check inside the function.

      mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init · a373966d
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      The only case where the oom_reaper is not triggered for the oom victim
      is when it shares the memory with a kernel thread (aka use_mm) or with
      the global init.  After "mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being
      selected" the victim cannot be a vforked task of the global init so we
      are left with clone(CLONE_VM) (without CLONE_SIGHAND).  use_mm() users
      are quite rare as well.
      
      In order to help forward progress for the OOM killer, make sure that
      this really rare case will not get in the way - we do this by hiding the
      mm from the oom killer by setting MMF_OOM_REAPED flag for it.
      oom_scan_process_thread will ignore any TIF_MEMDIE task if it has
      MMF_OOM_REAPED flag set to catch these oom victims.
      
      After this patch we should guarantee forward progress for the OOM killer
      even when the selected victim is sharing memory with a kernel thread or
      global init as long as the victims mm is still alive.

      mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twice · 11a410d5
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job.  Many places
      which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable
      and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot.  Some paths where
      the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might
      either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too
      impractical to be changed.
      
      This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the
      first attempt to reap a task's mm fails.  If the flag is present after
      the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom
      killer completely so it can go and chose another victim.
      
      As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked
      indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be
      mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all
      reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

      Michal Hocko 提交于
      task_will_free_mem is rather weak.  It doesn't really tell whether the
      task has chance to drop its mm.  98748bd7 ("oom: consider
      multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making
      it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the
      whole process is going down and probably drop the mm.
      
      This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared
      between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel
      use_mm().
      
      Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting.  This
      will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because
      task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now.  Therefore all paths
      which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up
      the oom killer.

      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a
      process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN.  After "mm,
      oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj"
      all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a
      task at all (oom_badness would rule them out).
      
      We can still encounter oom disabled vforked task which has to be killed as
      well if we want to have other tasks sharing the mm reapable because it can
      access the memory before doing exec.  Killing such a task should be
      acceptable because it is highly unlikely it has done anything useful
      because it cannot modify any memory before it calls exec.  An alternative
      would be to keep the task alive and skip the oom reaper and risk all the
      weird corner cases where the OOM killer cannot make forward progress
      because the oom victim hung somewhere on the way to exit.

      vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory.  They are sharing the

      parent wouldn't be selected.  E.g.  init doing vfork to launch a task or
      vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj
      to be killable.
      
      Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory
      with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

      mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj · 44a70ade
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this
      is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without
      CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some
      processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer.  In the
      worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer
      altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible.  OOM killer
      would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others
      sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory.
      
      It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is
      the natural entity OOM killer considers.  But this will not work because
      some programs are doing
      
      	vfork()
      	set_oom_adj()
      	exec()
      
      We can achieve the same though.  oom_score_adj write handler can set the
      oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in
      the middle of vfork.  As a result all the processes will share the same
      oom_score_adj.  The current implementation is rather pessimistic and
      checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1
      holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external
      users yet.

      proc, oom_adj: extract oom_score_adj setting into a helper · 1d5f0acb
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Currently we have two proc interfaces to set oom_score_adj.  The legacy
      /proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj which both have their
      specific handlers.  Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the
      common code into __set_oom_adj helper.  Legacy knob still expects some
      details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g.
      the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage.
      
      This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

      proc, oom: drop bogus sighand lock · f913da59
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Oleg has pointed out that can simplify both oom_adj_{read,write} and
      oom_score_adj_{read,write} even further and drop the sighand lock.  The
      main purpose of the lock was to protect p->signal from going away but this
      will not happen since ea6d290c ("signals: make task_struct->signal
      immutable/refcountable").
      
      The other role of the lock was to synchronize different writers,
      especially those with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.  Introduce a mutex for this
      purpose.  Later patches will need this lock anyway.

      proc, oom: drop bogus task_lock and mm check · d49fbf76
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5
      
      The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm
      shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer
      oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally.  Even though mm
      shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short
      period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of
      clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them.  Not
      only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and
      reason about it can lead to weird corner cases.  E.g.  it is possible to
      select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or
      bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still
      alive and other weird cases.
      
      Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write.
      This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed
      for years.
      
      Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed
      by Oleg.
      
      Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work
      for later patches.
      
      Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes
      sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups.
      This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread
      group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm
      via clone(CLONE_VM).  I argue that this should be acceptable because we
      already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and
      sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of
      threading.  This is probably the most controversial part of the series,
      I would like to find some consensus here.  There were some suggestions
      to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that
      this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler +
      oom_kill_process to DTRT.  I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly
      think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the
      current oom priority as consistently as possible.
      
      Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the
      mm with oom unkillable task.
      
      Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in
      turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable.
      
      Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable
      bypass of the oom killer.
      
      Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by
      0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times.
      
      Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a
      task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be
      made.  This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task
      can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper
      is not able to reap the victim.
      
      Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock
      up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and
      global init).  We just try to be best effort in that case and rather
      fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup.
      
      This patch (of 10):
      
      Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for
      task->mm and fail if it is NULL.  This is not needed because the
      oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all.  The code
      has been introduced by 3d5992d2 ("oom: add per-mm oom disable count")
      but we do not do per-mm oom disable since c9f01245 ("oom: remove
      oom_disable_count").
      
      The task->mm check is even not correct because the current thread might
      have exited but the thread group might be still alive - e.g.  thread group
      leader would lead that echo $VAL > /proc/pid/oom_score_adj would always
      fail with EINVAL while /proc/pid/task/$other_tid/oom_score_adj would
      succeed.  This is unexpected at best.
      
      Remove the lock along with the check to fix the unexpected behavior and
      also because there is not real need for the lock in the first place.

      Add braces to avoid "ambiguous ‘else’" compiler warnings · 194dc870
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Some of our "for_each_xyz()" macro constructs make gcc unhappy about
      lack of braces around if-statements inside or outside the loop, because
      the loop construct itself has a "if-then-else" statement inside of it.
      
      The resulting warnings look something like this:
      
        drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c: In function ‘i915_dump_lrc’:
        drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c:2103:6: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’ [-Wparentheses]
           if (ctx != dev_priv->kernel_context)
              ^
      
      even if the code itself is fine.
      
      Since the warning is fairly easy to avoid by adding a braces around the
      if-statement near the for_each_xyz() construct, do so, rather than
      disabling the otherwise potentially useful warning.
      
      (The if-then-else statements used in the "for_each_xyz()" constructs are
      designed to be inherently safe even with no braces, but in this case
      it's quite understandable that gcc isn't really able to tell that).
      
      This finally leaves the standard "allmodconfig" build with just a
      handful of remaining warnings, so new and valid warnings hopefully will
      stand out.

      Disable "frame-address" warning · 124a3d88
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address()
      with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified:
      
        kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’:
        kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address]
           stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1);
        [ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ]
      
      It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not
      actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code
      does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says:
      
       "We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of
        > 0.  In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in
        x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S).  [..] it adds extra frames
        when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address()
        from accessing bad areas.  In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to
        trace irqs off.  (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'."
      
      For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best
      we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people
      miss other warnings for real problems.
      
      So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it.

      Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
       "Quite a lot of cleanup and maintainence work going on this release in
        various drivers, and also a fix for a nasty locking issue in the core:
      
         - A fix for locking issues when external drivers explicitly locked
           the bus with spi_bus_lock() - we were using the same lock to both
           control access to the physical bus in multi-threaded I/O operations
           and exclude multiple callers.
      
           Confusion between these two caused us to have scenarios where we
           were dropping locks.  These are fixed by splitting into two
           separate locks like should have been done originally, making
           everything much clearer and correct.
      
         - Support for DMA in spi_flash_read().
      
         - Support for instantiating spidev on ACPI systems, including some
           test devices used in Windows validation.
      
         - Use of the core DMA mapping functionality in the McSPI driver.
      
         - Start of support for ThunderX SPI controllers, involving a very big
           set of changes to the Cavium driver.
      
         - Support for Braswell, Exynos 5433, Kaby Lake, Merrifield, RK3036,

      Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally · 6e8d666e
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
      it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
      still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.
      
      Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
      false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
      that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
      noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.
      
      The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
      that causes more problems than the warning can solve.
      
      If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
      re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
      want to be able to see the *real* warnings.
