The RT_CACHE_STAT_INC macro triggers the new preemption checks
for __this_cpu ops.
I do not see any other synchronization that would allow the use of a
__this_cpu operation here however in commit dbd2915ce87e ("[IPV4]:
RT_CACHE_STAT_INC() warning fix") Andrew justifies the use of
raw_smp_processor_id() here because "we do not care" about races. In
the past we agreed that the price of disabling interrupts here to get
consistent counters would be too high. These counters may be inaccurate
due to race conditions.
The use of __this_cpu op improves the situation already from what commit
dbd2915ce87e did since the single instruction emitted on x86 does not
allow the race to occur anymore. However, non x86 platforms could still
experience a race here.

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional
preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.
So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

With the preempt checking logic for __this_cpu_ops we will get false
positives from locations in the code that use numa_node_id.
Before the __this_cpu ops where introduced there were no checks for
preemption present either. smp_raw_processor_id() was used. See
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html
Therefore we need to use raw_cpu_read here to avoid false postives.
Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years. If the process
changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then that is
acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization and not
for correctness.
There were suggestions to implement a raw_numa_node_id in order to do
preempt checks for numa_node_id as well. But I think we better defer
that to another patch since that would mean investigating how
numa_node_id() is used throughout the kernel which would increase the
scope of this patchset significantly. After all preemption was never
checked before when numa_node_id() was used.

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
consistently used throughout the kernel. The code generated in many
places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
performing address calculations).
The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
the per cpu macros.
A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
__this_cpu operations.
C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
sequences of instructions by a single one.
E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
per cpu local data.
F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
per cpu data.
The patch set works in a couple of stages:
I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
us false positives once they are enabled.
III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
are used.
IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
VI. Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var). These should only be
applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
the uses of these functions remain.
This patch (of 46):
The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
without preemption checks.
raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
operations that do not implement any checks.
Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
raw_cpu_xxxx.
Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:
X
A -> X
B -> X
where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:
X
X:M
X:N
A -> X
B -> X
A:M -> X:M
A:N -> X:N
Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.
It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.
This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:
kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.

Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.
As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).
To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:
- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
from kmem_cache_create_memcg(). This allows us to get rid of the mutex
protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.
- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function serves as a proxy
to kmem_cache_create_memcg(). After separating the cache name creation
path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.
Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.
The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.
So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and
ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port
accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally. So
HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this.
Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP.
The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT
that signals if outb/int et al are available. I will address that at
least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and
catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT.
The changes in this commit were done using:

This macro appears to have been introduced back in the 2.5 era for
semtimedop32 backward compatibility on ia32:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/28/78
Nowadays, this syscall in compat just defaults back to the code found in
sem.c, so it is no longer used and can thus be removed:
long compat_sys_semtimedop(int semid, struct sembuf __user *tsems,
unsigned nsops, const struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
{
struct timespec __user *ts64;
if (compat_convert_timespec(&ts64, timeout))
return -EFAULT;
return sys_semtimedop(semid, tsems, nsops, ts64);
}
Furthermore, there are no users in compat.c. After this change, kernel
builds just fine with both CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT and CONFIG_SYSVIPC.

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via
an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the
code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would
otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a
value after BUG()).
In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop
implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which
potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by
rebooting).

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an
infinite loop rather than a no-op. This avoids undefined behavior if
execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code
after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not
returning).

When !CONFIG_BUG, WARN_ON and family become simple passthroughs of their
condition argument; however, WARN_ON_ONCE and family still have conditions
and a boolean to detect one-time invocation, even though the warning
they'd emit doesn't exist. Make the existing definitions conditional on
CONFIG_BUG, and add definitions for !CONFIG_BUG that map to the
passthrough versions of WARN and WARN_ON.
This saves 4.4k on a minimized configuration (smaller than allnoconfig),
and 20.6k with defconfig plus CONFIG_BUG=n.

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.
To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c uses tty_write_message to print an
unaligned access exception to the TTY of the current user process.
Enable TTY to prevent a build error.
Minimal fix, on the basis that few people on ia64 will care deeply about
kernel size enough to turn off TTY. Ideally, I'd instead suggest
dropping the tty_write_message entirely, and just leaving the printk.
Bonus: no need to sprintf first.

This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes
actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices.
It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip
or an eternal bridge, known as "mport").
Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have
a single RapidIO controller. With introduction of devices using
multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme
is very limiting or does not work at all. The implemented changes allow
to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide
device details needed for upper layers.
This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known
existing kernel or user space interfaces.

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the
case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to

Currently when an empty PT_NOTE is detected, vmcore initialization
fails. It sounds too harsh. Because PT_NOTE could be empty, for
example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after
crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains. It's
better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise
vmcore.
And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all
empty PT_NOTE are discarded naturally during the merge. So empty
PT_NOTE is not visible to user space and vmcore is as good as expected.

another process
Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.
Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.
This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.
Stupid test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader
raise(SIGSTOP);
exit(0x13);
return NULL;
}
int run_child(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
if (!fork()) {
int tracee = getppid();
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
do
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
while (wait(NULL) > 0);
return 0;
}
sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main(void)
{
int child, stat;
child = fork();
if (!child)
return run_child();
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
assert(stat == 0x137f);
kill(child, SIGCONT);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
assert(stat == 0xffff);
assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);
return 0;
}
Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.
Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task()
is very wrong. Trivial test-case:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <assert.h>
int main(void)
{
int child = fork();
if (!child) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
return 0x23;
}
assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0);
assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1);
return 0;
}
it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie
child. This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and
cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify
us.
Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the
child is traced by us. This really simplifies the logic and allows us to
do more fixes, see the next changes. This also hides the unwanted group
stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check.
Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes:
1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap
a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread.
Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think
that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway.
2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if
it is real parent.
While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good
by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by
another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace,
it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent.
Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before
wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on
ptrace_reparented().

get_task_state() uses the most significant bit to report the state to
user-space, this means that EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_TRACE->EXIT_DEAD transition
can be noticed via /proc as Z -> X -> Z change. Note that this was
possible even before EXIT_TRACE was introduced.
This is not really bad but imho it make sense to hide EXIT_TRACE from
user-space completely. So the patch simply swaps EXIT_ZOMBIE and
EXIT_DEAD, this way EXIT_TRACE will be seen as EXIT_ZOMBIE by user-space.

wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not
need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we
also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task().
Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with
ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.
The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257486a
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.
And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by
the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack.
1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the
traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural
parent.
This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we
can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still
reports "X (dead)" in this case.
Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z
transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix.
2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD
if we need to notify the ->real_parent.
3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD
is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task.
4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.
If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.
Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and
notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace"
even if the task was already untraced.
