git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

Google knows. ]

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"The largest piece is a long-overdue rewrite of the xdr code to remove
some annoying limitations: for example, there was no way to return
ACLs larger than 4K, and readdir results were returned only in 4k
chunks, limiting performance on large directories.
Also:
- part of Neil Brown's work to make NFS work reliably over the
loopback interface (so client and server can run on the same
machine without deadlocks). The rest of it is coming through
other trees.
- cleanup and bugfixes for some of the server RDMA code, from
Steve Wise.
- Various cleanup of NFSv4 state code in preparation for an
overhaul of the locking, from Jeff, Trond, and Benny.
- smaller bugfixes and cleanup from Christoph Hellwig and
Kinglong Mee.
Thanks to everyone!

we won't break it too badly; testing definitely welcomed"

visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are

The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear
mapping, that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped
into a nonsequential order in memory. The advantage of using
remap_file_pages() over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the
former approach does not require the kernel to create additional VMA
(Virtual Memory Area) data structures.
Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of
non-trivial code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths.
Also to get nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish
normal page table entries from entries with file offset (pte_file).
Kernel reserves flag in PTE for this purpose. PTE flags are scarce
resource especially on some CPU architectures. It would be nice to free
up the flag for other usage.
Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild.
It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the
syscall on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into
32-bit virtual address space. This use-case is not critical anymore
since 64-bit systems are widely available.
The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation.
The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's
going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is
preserved.
One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can
hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See
comment for DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit.

Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg
(origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory
reclaim. This behavior was consistent (except for difference between
global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be
consistent within each memcg hierarchy.
After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone.
This can lead to an unexpected behavior. Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.
From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon
vs.
file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike
charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied
to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes
from.
This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into
the scan_control structure. mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to
provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called. The global
vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of
the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the
first:
open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1
write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096
write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9
close(1) = 0
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
/bin/true
Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at
maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the
contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would
not append to the sysctl.
The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits
of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or
dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a
trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also
happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write
syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools.
This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior
act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file
position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done
when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is
to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy
behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to
1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

panic_notifers
Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).
Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.
Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

Examples introducing neccesity of RMB+WMP pair reads as
A=3 READ B
www rrrrrr
B=4 READ A
Note the opposite order of reads vs writes.
But the first example without barriers reads as
A=3 READ A
B=4 READ B
There are 4 outcomes in the first example.
But if someone new to the concept tries to insert barriers like this:
A=3 READ A
www rrrrrr
B=4 READ B
he will still get all 4 possible outcomes, because "READ A" is first.
All this can be utterly confusing because barrier pair seems to be
superfluous. In short, fixup first example to match latter examples
with barriers.

Add structure for parsed BPB information, struct fat_bios_param_block,
and move all of the deserialization and validation logic from
fat_fill_super() into fat_read_bpb().
Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block
defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy
images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic.
When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is
set, fall back to fat_read_static_bpb(). fat_read_static_bpb()
validates that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a
DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header. Then it fills in default BPB
values from media size and a table.[0]
Media size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also:
[1].

When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.
This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.
Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:
blacklisting initcall foo_bar
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal
pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while
the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. This isn't obvious, and the only way to
find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read
CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact.
Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and
related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX()
macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug
printing methods might be used.
Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that
while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of
vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it.
Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int? a
percentage? what the scale is?
As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance
degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously
high values - because they thought there is no downside to it.
Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a
percentage. This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a
cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.

SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)
Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.
So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.
Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.
No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.
Tony said:
: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

Kmemcg is currently under development and lacks some important features.
In particular, it does not have support of kmem reclaim on memory pressure
inside cgroup, which practically makes it unusable in real life. Let's
warn about it in both Kconfig and Documentation to prevent complaints
arising.

When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA
node. NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are
NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to
zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the
problem.
Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect
when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a
sensible default for the bulk of users.
This patch (of 2):
zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from
local node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense
initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the
workload was partitioned into nodes. The NUMA penalties were
sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory. On current machines
and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys
performance but not all users know how to detect this. Favour the
common case and disable it by default. Users that are sophisticated
enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

remove end_phys_index
Seems we all agree that information about SECTION, e.g. section size,
sections per memory block should be kept as kernel internals, and not
exposed to userspace.
This patch updates Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt to refer to memory
blocks instead of memory sections where appropriate and added a
paragraph to explain that memory blocks are made of memory sections.
The documentation update is mostly provided by Nathan.
Also, as end_phys_index in code is actually not the end section id, but
the end memory block id, which should always be the same as phys_index.
So it is removed here.

Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a
memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy.
Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on
hierarchy mode. In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this
restriction disables the tunables entirely.
But there is no good reason for this restriction. The settings for
swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit
triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the
hierarchy tree.
Allow setting swappiness on any group. The knob on the root memcg
already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well.
Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located. We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.
This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.
Examples:
1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"
Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().
