drivers: remove the SGI SN2 IOC4 base support · f7bc6e42

由 Christoph Hellwig 提交于 8月 13, 2019

The IOC4 is a multi-function chip seen on SGI SN2 and some SGI MIPS
systems. This removes the base driver, which while not having an SN2
Kconfig dependency was only for sub-drivers that had one.

page flags: prioritize kasan bits over last-cpuid · ee38d94a

由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 8月 02, 2019

ARM64 randdconfig builds regularly run into a build error, especially
when NUMA_BALANCING and SPARSEMEM are enabled but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP:

  #error "KASAN: not enough bits in page flags for tag"

The last-cpuid bits are already contitional on the available space, so
the result of the calculation is a bit random on whether they were
already left out or not.

Adding the kasan tag bits before last-cpuid makes it much more likely to
end up with a successful build here, and should be reliable for
randconfig at least, as long as that does not randomize NR_CPUS or
NODES_SHIFT but uses the defaults.

In order for the modified check to not trigger in the x86 vdso32 code
where all constants are wrong (building with -m32), enclose all the
definitions with an #ifdef.

xen/swiotlb: remember having called xen_create_contiguous_region() · b877ac98

Instead of always calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in case the
memory is DMA-able for the used device, do so only in case it has been
made DMA-able via xen_create_contiguous_region() before.

This will avoid a lot of xen_destroy_contiguous_region() calls for
64-bit capable devices.

As the memory in question is owned by swiotlb-xen the PG_owner_priv_1

loop: Fix mount(2) failure due to race with LOOP_SET_FD · 89e524c0

由 Jan Kara 提交于 7月 30, 2019

Commit 33ec3e53 ("loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive
opener") made LOOP_SET_FD ioctl acquire exclusive block device reference
while it updates loop device binding. However this can make perfectly
valid mount(2) fail with EBUSY due to racing LOOP_SET_FD holding
temporarily the exclusive bdev reference in cases like this:

for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$i.image bs=1k count=0 seek=1024
        mkfs.ext2 $i.image
        mkdir mnt$i
done

echo "Run"
for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
        mount -o loop -t ext2 $i.image mnt$i &
done

Fix the problem by not getting full exclusive bdev reference in
LOOP_SET_FD but instead just mark the bdev as being claimed while we
update the binding information. This just blocks new exclusive openers
instead of failing them with EBUSY thus fixing the problem.

gpio: don't WARN() on NULL descs if gpiolib is disabled · ffe0bbab

由 Bartosz Golaszewski 提交于 7月 08, 2019

If gpiolib is disabled, we use the inline stubs from gpio/consumer.h
instead of regular definitions of GPIO API. The stubs for 'optional'
variants of gpiod_get routines return NULL in this case as if the
relevant GPIO wasn't found. This is correct so far.

Calling other (non-gpio_get) stubs from this header triggers a warning
because the GPIO descriptor couldn't have been requested. The warning
however is unconditional (WARN_ON(1)) and is emitted even if the passed
descriptor pointer is NULL.

We don't want to force the users of 'optional' gpio_get to check the
returned pointer before calling e.g. gpiod_set_value() so let's only
WARN on non-NULL descriptors.

sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers · 16d51a59

由 Jann Horn 提交于 7月 16, 2019

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials · d7852fbd

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 7月 11, 2019

It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
->cred entirely.  Only ->real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

iommu/vt-d: Don't queue_iova() if there is no flush queue · effa4678

由 Dmitry Safonov 提交于 7月 16, 2019

Intel VT-d driver was reworked to use common deferred flushing
implementation. Previously there was one global per-cpu flush queue,
afterwards - one per domain.

Before deferring a flush, the queue should be allocated and initialized.

Currently only domains with IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA type initialize their flush
queue. It's probably worth to init it for static or unmanaged domains
too, but it may be arguable - I'm leaving it to iommu folks.

Prevent queuing an iova flush if the domain doesn't have a queue.
The defensive check seems to be worth to keep even if queue would be
initialized for all kinds of domains. And is easy backportable.

On 4.19.43 stable kernel it has a user-visible effect: previously for
devices in si domain there were crashes, on sata devices:

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts · d73eb57b

Inspired by commit 9cac38dd (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates.  This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).

KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted interrupt · 0c5f81da

由 Wanpeng Li 提交于 7月 06, 2019

Dedicated instances are currently disturbed by unnecessary jitter due
to the emulated lapic timers firing on the same pCPUs where the
vCPUs reside. There is no hardware virtual timer on Intel for guest
like ARM, so both programming timer in guest and the emulated timer fires
incur vmexits. This patch tries to avoid vmexit when the emulated timer
fires, at least in dedicated instance scenario when nohz_full is enabled.

In that case, the emulated timers can be offload to the nearest busy
housekeeping cpus since APICv has been found for several years in server
processors. The guest timer interrupt can then be injected via posted interrupts,
which are delivered by the housekeeping cpu once the emulated timer fires.

The host should tuned so that vCPUs are placed on isolated physical
processors, and with several pCPUs surplus for busy housekeeping.
If disabled mwait/hlt/pause vmexits keep the vCPUs in non-root mode,
~3% redis performance benefit can be observed on Skylake server, and the
number of external interrupt vmexits drops substantially. Without patch

proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check · eec4844f

由 Matteo Croce 提交于 7月 18, 2019

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

    # scripts/bloat-o-meter -d vmlinux.o.old vmlinux.o

mm: migrate: remove unused mode argument · 37109694

由 Keith Busch 提交于 7月 18, 2019

migrate_page_move_mapping() doesn't use the mode argument.  Remove it
and update callers accordingly.
