I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being coredumped at the moment. It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the process and getting a broken coredump. Writing a large core might take significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and killing/restarting hanging tasks. We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by timeout in the middle of the core writing process. We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests. Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable timeout (especially on an overloaded machine). This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full coredump file. To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in /proc/pid/status. Example: $ cat core.sh #!/bin/sh echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern sleep 1000 & PID=$! cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping kill -ABRT $PID sleep 1 cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping $ ./core.sh CoreDumping: 0 CoreDumping: 1 [guro@fb.com: document CoreDumping flag in /proc/<pid>/status] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928135357.GA8470@castle.DHCP.thefacebook.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170920230634.31572-1-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by: NRoman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The check for "active" children in __pm_runtime_set_status(), when trying to set the parent device status to "suspended", doesn't really make sense, because in fact it is not invalid to set the status of a device with runtime PM disabled to "suspended" in any case. It is invalid to enable runtime PM for a device with its status set to "suspended" while its child_count reference counter is nonzero, but the check in __pm_runtime_set_status() doesn't really cover that situation. For this reason, drop the children check from __pm_runtime_set_status() and add a check against child_count reference counters of "suspended" devices to pm_runtime_enable().

Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ... and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected by it. When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary in all cases. This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all those cases explaining why. Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this: For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd: A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault on zero page, __replace_page(), ...) Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to a page that might now be used by something completely different. Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to happen: - take page table lock - clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify()) - set page table entry to point to new page If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for the device. Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/ PASID): Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too). [Time N] ----------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA} CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB} [Time N+1] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+2] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+4] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+5] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page} So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering for the device. When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right after releasing page table lock before calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

BFQ currently creates, and updates, its own instance of the whole set of blkio statistics that cfq creates. Yet, from the comments of Tejun Heo in [1], it turned out that most of these statistics are meant/useful only for debugging. This commit makes BFQ create the latter, debugging statistics only if the option CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is set. By doing so, this commit also enables BFQ to enjoy a high perfomance boost. The reason is that, if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set, then BFQ has to update far fewer statistics, and, in particular, not the heaviest to update. To give an idea of the benefits, if CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set, then, on an Intel i7-4850HQ, and with 8 threads doing random I/O in parallel on null_blk (configured with 0 latency), the throughput of BFQ grows from 310 to 400 KIOPS (+30%). We have measured similar or even much higher boosts with other CPUs: e.g., +45% with an ARM CortexTM-A53 Octa-core. Our results have been obtained and can be reproduced very easily with the script in [1].

bfq invokes various blkg_*stats_* functions to update the statistics contained in the special files blkio.bfq.* in the blkio controller groups, i.e., the I/O accounting related to the proportional-share policy provided by bfq. The execution of these functions takes a considerable percentage, about 40%, of the total per-request execution time of bfq (i.e., of the sum of the execution time of all the bfq functions that have to be executed to process an I/O request from its creation to its destruction). This reduces the request-processing rate sustainable by bfq noticeably, even on a multicore CPU. In fact, the bfq functions that invoke blkg_*stats_* functions cannot be executed in parallel with the rest of the code of bfq, because both are executed under the same same per-device scheduler lock. To reduce this slowdown, this commit moves, wherever possible, the invocation of these functions (more precisely, of the bfq functions that invoke blkg_*stats_* functions) outside the critical sections protected by the scheduler lock. With this change, and with all blkio.bfq.* statistics enabled, the throughput grows, e.g., from 250 to 310 KIOPS (+25%) on an Intel i7-4850HQ, in case of 8 threads doing random I/O in parallel on null_blk, with the latter configured with 0 latency. We obtained the same or higher throughput boosts, up to +30%, with other processors (some figures are reported in the documentation). For our tests, we used the script [1], with which our results can be easily reproduced. NOTE. This commit still protects the invocation of blkg_*stats_* functions with the request_queue lock, because the group these functions are invoked on may otherwise disappear before or while these functions are executed. Fortunately, tests without even this lock show, by difference, that the serialization caused by this lock has a little impact (at most ~5% of throughput reduction).

We have investigated more deeply the performance of BFQ, in terms of number of IOPS that can be processed by the CPU when BFQ is used as I/O scheduler. In more detail, using the script [1], we have measured the number of IOPS reached on top of a null block device configured with zero latency, as a function of the workload (sequential read, sequential write, random read, random write) and of the system (we considered desktops, laptops and embedded systems). Basing on the resulting figures, with this commit we update the current, conservative IOPS range reported in BFQ documentation. In particular, the documentation now reports, for each of three different systems, the lowest number of IOPS obtained for that system with the above test (namely, the value obtained with the workload leading to the lowest IOPS).

Consumers of usb-nop-xceiv use the phy binding, but #phy-cells is missing from the binding. This is probably because this binding predates the common phy binding. So add #phy-cells as a required property. This should not break any users as missing should be treated as 0 cells. Signed-off-by: NRob Herring <robh@kernel.org>

There are two different combined signal for various interrupt events: In EQOS-CORE and EQOS-MTL configurations, mci_intr_o is the interrupt signal. In EQOS-DMA, EQOS-AHB and EQOS-AXI configurations, these interrupt events are combined with the events in the DMA on the sbd_intr_o signal. Depending on configuration, the device tree irq "macirq" will refer to either mci_intr_o or sbd_intr_o. The databook states: "The MAC generates the LPI interrupt when the Tx or Rx side enters or exits the LPI state. The interrupt mci_intr_o (sbd_intr_o in certain configurations) is asserted when the LPI interrupt status is set. When the MAC exits the Rx LPI state, then in addition to the mci_intr_o (sbd_intr_o in certain configurations), the sideband signal lpi_intr_o is asserted. If you do not want to gate-off the application clock during the Rx LPI state, you can leave the lpi_intr_o signal unconnected and use the mci_intr_o (sbd_intr_o in certain configurations) signal to detect Rx LPI exit." Since the "macirq" is always raised when Tx or Rx enters/exits the LPI state, "eth_lpi" must therefore refer to lpi_intr_o, which is only raised when Rx exits the LPI state. Update the DT binding description to reflect reality. Signed-off-by: NNiklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@axis.com> Acked-by: NAlexandre TORGUE <alexandre.torgue@st.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Add a per-device sysctl to specify the default traffic class to use for kernel originated IPv6 Neighbour Discovery packets. Currently this includes: - Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133) ndisc_send_rs() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135) ndisc_send_ns() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Neighbour Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136) ndisc_send_na() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() - Redirect (ICMPv6 type 137) ndisc_send_redirect() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr() and if the kernel ever gets around to generating RA's, it would presumably also include: - Router Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 134) (radvd daemon could pick up on the kernel setting and use it) Interface drivers may examine the Traffic Class value and translate the DiffServ Code Point into a link-layer appropriate traffic prioritization scheme. An example of mapping IETF DSCP values to IEEE 802.11 User Priority values can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11 The expected primary use case is to properly prioritize ND over wifi.

This helper doesn't buy us much over calling kmap_atomic directly. In fact in the only caller it does a bit of useless work as the caller already has the bvec at hand, and said caller would even buggy for a multi-segment bio due to the use of this helper. So just remove it. Signed-off-by: NChristoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The S6SY761 touchscreen is a capicitive multi-touch controller for mobile use. It's connected with i2c at the address 0x48. This commit provides a basic version of the driver which can handle only initialization, touch events and power states. The controller is controlled by a firmware which, in the version I currently have, doesn't provide all the possible functionalities mentioned in the datasheet.

The HiDeep touchscreen device is a capacitive multi-touch controller mainly for multi-touch supported devices use. It use I2C interface for communication to IC and provide axis X, Y, Z locations for ten finger touch through input event interface to userspace. It support the Crimson and the Lime two type IC. They are different the number of channel supported and FW size. But the working protocol is same.
