Remove rproc_get_by_name() and rproc_put(), and the associated remoteproc infrastructure that supports it (i.e. klist and friends), because: 1. No one uses them 2. Using them is highly discouraged, and any potential user will be deeply scrutinized and encouraged to move. If a user, that absolutely can't live with the direct boot/shutdown model, does show up one day, then bringing this functionality back is going to be trivial. At this point though, keeping this functionality around is way too much of a maintenance burden.

Now that every rproc instance contains a device, we don't need a kref anymore to maintain the refcount of the rproc instances: that's what device are good with! This patch removes the now-redundant kref, and switches to {get, put}_device instead of kref_{get, put}. We also don't need the kref's release function anymore, and instead, we just utilize the class's release handler (which is now responsible for all memory de-allocations).

For each registered rproc, maintain a generic remoteproc device whose parent is the low level platform-specific device (commonly a pdev, but it may certainly be any other type of device too). With this in hand, the resulting device hierarchy might then look like: omap-rproc.0 | - remoteproc0 <---- new ! | - virtio0 | - virtio1 | - rpmsg0 | - rpmsg1 | - rpmsg2 Where: - omap-rproc.0 is the low level device that's bound to the driver which invokes rproc_register() - remoteproc0 is the result of this patch, and will be added by the remoteproc framework when rproc_register() is invoked - virtio0 and virtio1 are vdevs that are registered by remoteproc when it realizes that they are supported by the firmware of the physical remote processor represented by omap-rproc.0 - rpmsg0, rpmsg1 and rpmsg2 are rpmsg devices that represent rpmsg channels, and are registerd by the rpmsg bus when it gets notified about their existence Technically, this patch: - changes 'struct rproc' to contain this generic remoteproc.x device - creates a new "remoteproc" type, to which this new generic remoteproc.x device belong to. - adds a super simple enumeration method for the indices of the remoteproc.x devices - updates all dev_* messaging to use the generic remoteproc.x device instead of the low level platform-specific device - updates all dma_* allocations to use the parent of remoteproc.x (where the platform-specific memory pools, most commonly CMA, are to be found) Adding this generic device has several merits: - we can now add remoteproc runtime PM support simply by hooking onto the new "remoteproc" type - all remoteproc log messages will now carry a common name prefix instead of having a platform-specific one - having a device as part of the rproc struct makes it possible to simplify refcounting (see subsequent patch) Thanks to Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> for suggesting and discussing these ideas in one of the remoteproc review threads and to Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com> for trying them out with the (upcoming) runtime PM support for remoteproc.

Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM. Whoops. Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry( swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating it there. Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was truncated. Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header(). This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0 on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB per swapfile on i386 with PAE. It's not a change I would have risked five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's appropriate now. Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap offset check. Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

This patch (as1558) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers: The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers. Users have been forced to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep. After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3 power state. Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3 during system sleep. The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present, and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set. Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend. However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote wakeup requests while the system is asleep. Hence USB wakeup is not functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state of affairs. A similar patch has already been applied as commit 151b6128 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS computers). The patch supersedes that one and reverts it. There are two differences: The old patch added the flag at the USB level; this patch adds it at the PCI level. The old patch applied to all chipsets with the same vendor, subsystem vendor, and product IDs; this patch makes an exception for a known-good system (based on DMI information).

When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the next wakeup time based on the timer wheels. Only later, when actually entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked. In some cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up. But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

The open recovery code does not need to request a new value for the mdsthreshold, and so does not allocate a struct nfs4_threshold. The problem is that encode_getfattr_open() will still request an mdsthreshold, and so we end up Oopsing in decode_attr_mdsthreshold. This patch fixes encode_getfattr_open so that it doesn't request an mdsthreshold when the caller isn't asking for one.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking", but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the common stat operations. The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at least as important for layout, if not more. Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits" access stood out like a sore thumb. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.

When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would point to the original executable file a process had at checkpoint time. For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced. This option takes a file descriptor which will be set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe symlink. Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe if there are no VM_EXECUTABLE vmas present for current process, simply because this feature is a special to C/R and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after that. To minimize the amount of transition the /proc/pid/exe symlink might have, this feature is implemented in one-shot manner. Thus once changed the symlink can't be changed again. This should help sysadmins to monitor the symlinks over all process running in a system. In particular one could make a snapshot of processes and ring alarm if there unexpected changes of /proc/pid/exe's in a system. Note -- this feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set and the caller must have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability granted, otherwise the request to change symlink will be rejected.

During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment data and auxiliary vector. So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector. For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START | ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are shared between tasks and restore this state. The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one. One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such info considered to be not that good for security reasons. Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named 'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it -- __NR_kcmp. It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of comparison of files) two file descriptors. Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only. At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

A cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector after changes made to support CMA in an earlier patch. Rather than having an additional check_access parameter to these functions, the first paramater type is overloaded to allow the caller to specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents of the iovec are valid, but do not check the memory that they point to. This is used by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a iovec passed to the syscall is valid but do not want to check the memory that it points to at this point because it refers to an address space in another process.

eventfd_ctx->count is an __u64 counter which is allowed to reach ULLONG_MAX. eventfd_write() adds a __u64 value to "count", but the kernel side eventfd_signal() only adds an int value to it.

Commit b231cca4 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value. This made large side effect. When user need to use two mqueue applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message, app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large memory size even though it doesn't need. Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value. However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might started depend on the default value is tunable. The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.
