Sysfs has a release mechanism.  Use that to release the kmem_cache

Only slub is changed - slab currently only supports /proc/slabinfo and
not /sys/kernel/slab/*.  We talked about adding that and someone was
working on it.

      hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported · 457c1b27
      由 Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于 
      Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.  I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
  ....

In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:

  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  HugePages_Total:       0
  HugePages_Free:        0
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  Hugepagesize:         64 kB

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init().  Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment.  I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

      dentry_kill(): don't try to remove from shrink list · 41edf278
      由 Al Viro 提交于 
      If the victim in on the shrink list, don't remove it from there.
If shrink_dentry_list() manages to remove it from the list before
we are done - fine, we'll just free it as usual.  If not - mark
it with new flag (DCACHE_MAY_FREE) and leave it there.

Eventually, shrink_dentry_list() will get to it, remove the sucker
from shrink list and call dentry_kill(dentry, 0).  Which is where
we'll deal with freeing.

Since now dentry_kill(dentry, 0) may happen after or during
dentry_kill(dentry, 1), we need to recognize that (by seeing
DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED already set), unlock everything
and either free the sucker (in case DCACHE_MAY_FREE has been
set) or leave it for ongoing dentry_kill(dentry, 1) to deal with.

      ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module() · a949ae56
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	-----				-----
  load_module()
   module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING

				register_ftrace_function()
				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
				 ftrace_startup()
				  update_ftrace_function();
				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
				    set_all_module_text_rw();
				   <enables-ftrace>
				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
				     set_all_module_text_ro();

				[ here all module text is set to RO,
				  including the module that is
				  loading!! ]

   blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
    ftrace_init_module()

     [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
       ftrace_bug() is called]

When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.

The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.

The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

      genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict · 62a08ae2
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.

That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

      tty: Fix race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room and flush_to_ldisc · 6a20dbd6
      由 Manfred Schlaegl 提交于 
      The race was introduced while development of linux-3.11 by
e8437d7e and
e9975fde.
Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and
linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the
target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay.

In short:
 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer.
 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must
	be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room.
 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling
	newly committed data.

Detailed example:
 * Initial buffer:
   * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL
 * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc''
   * consumed 10 Byte
   * buffer:
     * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
{{{
		count = head->commit - head->read;	// count = 0
		if (!count) {				// enter
			// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER ->
			if (head->next == NULL)
				break;
			buf->head = head->next;
			tty_buffer_free(port, head);
			continue;
		}
}}}
 * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push
   * buffer:
     * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
   * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum.
     * buffer:
       * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
   * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called
     * buffer:
       * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
       * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL
   * push (tty_flip_buffer_push)
     * buffer:
       * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
       * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL
 * Consumer
{{{
		count = head->commit - head->read;
		if (!count) {
			// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <-
			if (head->next == NULL)		// -> no break
				break;
			buf->head = head->next;
			tty_buffer_free(port, head);
			// ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost
			continue;
		}
}}}

This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case. Perhaps later
a lock-less solution could be found.

(of_platform_bus_create+0x12c/0x170)
(of_platform_populate+0x60/0x98)

This is because we're wrongly trying to populate resources that are not
yet available. It's perfectly valid to create irqchips dynamically, so
let's fix up the issue by resolving the interrupt resources when
platform_get_irq is called.

And then we also need to accept the fact that some irqdomains do not
exist that early on, and only get initialized later on. So we can
make the current WARN_ON into just into a pr_debug().

We still attempt to populate irq resources when we create the devices.
This allows current drivers which don't use platform_get_irq to continue
to function. Once all drivers are fixed, this code can be removed.

      phy: core: make NULL a valid phy reference if !CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY · 2b97789f
      由 Grygorii Strashko 提交于 
      This fixes a regression on Keystone 2 platforms caused by patch
57303488
"usb: dwc3: adapt dwc3 core to use Generic PHY Framework" which adds
optional support of generic phy in DWC3 core.

On Keystone 2 platforms the USB is not working now because
CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY isn't set and, as result, Generic PHY APIs stubs
return -ENOSYS always. The log shows:
 dwc3 2690000.dwc3: failed to initialize core
 dwc3: probe of 2690000.dwc3 failed with error -38

Hence, fix it by making NULL a valid phy reference in Generic PHY
APIs stubs in the same way as it was done by the patch
04c2faca "drivers: phy: Make NULL
a valid phy reference".

      Input: serio - add firmware_id sysfs attribute · 0456c66f
      由 Hans de Goede 提交于 
      serio devices exposed via platform firmware interfaces such as ACPI may
provide additional identifying information of use to userspace.

We don't associate the serio devices with the firmware device (we don't
set it as parent), so there's no way for userspace to make use of this
information.

We cannot change the parent for serio devices instantiated though a
firmware interface as that would break suspend / resume ordering.

Therefore this patch adds a new firmware_id sysfs attribute so that
userspace can get a string from there with any additional identifying
information the firmware interface may provide.

to match that seen when a regulator isn't present, callers can wrap the
regulator logic with an IS_ERR based conditional even if they happen to
call regulator_is_supported_voltage.  This improves efficiency as well
as eliminates the possibility for a very subtle bug.

But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of
the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity
during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask.

If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to
become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu.

The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that
issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code.

We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq
chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never
required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it.

That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So
the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their
interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and
things just work.

This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity().

Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock
event drivers.

      ipmi: Turn off all activity on an idle ipmi interface · 89986496
      由 Corey Minyard 提交于 
      The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and
watchdog pretimeouts.  If there is nothing waiting for these events,
it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them.  So modify the
driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer
to be waiting for these.  Modify the system interface lower layer to
turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need
anything and it is not currently handling messages.  And modify the
message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed.

The timers and kthread will still be enabled if:
 - the SI interface is handling a message.
 - a user has enabled watching for events.
 - the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts).
 - the message handler is waiting on a remote response.
 - a user has registered to receive commands.

This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts.  Interfaces with
interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the
interface is idle.
