      mm: remove __GFP_COLD · 453f85d4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
      pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
      allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
      __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
      other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
      __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
      allocator.
      
      This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
      per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
      list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
      benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
      even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
      of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
      zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
      
      The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
      allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
      tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
      given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
      fault path.

      net: thunderx: fix double free error · 3d67a507
      Aleksey Makarov 提交于
      This patch fixes an error in memory allocation/freeing in
      ThunderX PF driver.
      
      I moved the allocation to the probe() function and made it managed.
      
      >From the Colin's email:
      
      While running static analysis on linux-next with CoverityScan I found 3
      double free errors in the Cavium thunder driver.
      
      The issue occurs on the err_disable_device: label of function nic_probe
      when nic_free_lmacmem(nic) is called and a double free occurs on
      nic->duplex, nic->link and nic->speed.  This occurs when nic_init_hw()
      fails:
      
              /* Initialize hardware */
              err = nic_init_hw(nic);
              if (err)
                      goto err_release_regions;
      
      nic_init_hw() calls nic_get_hw_info() and this calls nic_free_lmacmem()
      if any of the allocations fail. This free'ing occurs again by the call
      to nic_free_lmacmem() on the err_release_regions exit path in nic_probe().

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      liquidio: fix timespec64_to_ns typo · e7ad9793
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      While experimenting with changes to the timekeeping code, I
      ran into a build error in the liquidio driver:
      
      drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_main.c: In function 'liquidio_ptp_settime':

      The driver had a type mismatch since it was first merged, but
      this never caused problems because it is only built on 64-bit
      architectures that define timespec and timespec64 to the same
      type.
      
      If we ever want to compile-test the driver on 32-bit or change
      the way that 64-bit timespec64 is defined, we need to fix it,
      so let's just do it now.

      bpf: add meta pointer for direct access · de8f3a83
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      This work enables generic transfer of metadata from XDP into skb. The
      basic idea is that we can make use of the fact that the resulting skb
      must be linear and already comes with a larger headroom for supporting
      bpf_xdp_adjust_head(), which mangles xdp->data. Here, we base our work
      on a similar principle and introduce a small helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta()
      for adjusting a new pointer called xdp->data_meta. Thus, the packet has
      a flexible and programmable room for meta data, followed by the actual
      packet data. struct xdp_buff is therefore laid out that we first point
      to data_hard_start, then data_meta directly prepended to data followed
      by data_end marking the end of packet. bpf_xdp_adjust_head() takes into
      account whether we have meta data already prepended and if so, memmove()s
      this along with the given offset provided there's enough room.
      
      xdp->data_meta is optional and programs are not required to use it. The
      rationale is that when we process the packet in XDP (e.g. as DoS filter),
      we can push further meta data along with it for the XDP_PASS case, and
      give the guarantee that a clsact ingress BPF program on the same device
      can pick this up for further post-processing. Since we work with skb
      there, we can also set skb->mark, skb->priority or other skb meta data
      out of BPF, thus having this scratch space generic and programmable
      allows for more flexibility than defining a direct 1:1 transfer of
      potentially new XDP members into skb (it's also more efficient as we
      don't need to initialize/handle each of such new members). The facility
      also works together with GRO aggregation. The scratch space at the head
      of the packet can be multiple of 4 byte up to 32 byte large. Drivers not
      yet supporting xdp->data_meta can simply be set up with xdp->data_meta
      as xdp->data + 1 as bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() will detect this and bail out,
      such that the subsequent match against xdp->data for later access is
      guaranteed to fail.
      
      The verifier treats xdp->data_meta/xdp->data the same way as we treat
      xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons. The requirement for doing
      the compare against xdp->data is that it hasn't been modified from it's
      original address we got from ctx access. It may have a range marking
      already from prior successful xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons
      though.

      smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data · 966a9671
      Ying Huang 提交于
      struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
      CPUs.  Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
      cache line size.  Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
      requirements.  This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
      cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
      that need to be transferred among CPUs.
      
      This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
      size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
      power of 2.  If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
      add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
      as well.
      
      Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
      
      To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
      call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
      
      To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
      thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt).  The test will create multiple
      threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
      is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
      memory.  In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
      compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.
