2017-05-09treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variantsMichal Hocko44-350/+128
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

2017-05-09fs/xattr.c: zero out memory copied to userspace in getxattrMichal Hocko1-1/+1
getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails. This is filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace. vmalloc, however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel memory. There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.

2017-05-09net/ipv6/ila/ila_xlat.c: simplify a strange allocation patternMichal Hocko1-7/+1
alloc_ila_locks seemed to c&p from alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern which is quite unusual. The default allocation size is 320 * sizeof(spinlock_t) which is sub page unless lockdep is enabled when the performance benefit is really questionable and not worth the subtle code IMHO. Also note that the context when we call ila_init_net (modprobe or a task creating a net namespace) has to be properly configured. Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper which is a transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback.

2017-05-09lib/rhashtable.c: simplify a strange allocation patternMichal Hocko1-10/+3
alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern is quite unusual. We are preferring vmalloc when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. The rationale is that vmalloc will respect the memory policy of the current process and so the backing memory will get distributed over multiple nodes if the requester is configured properly. At least that is the intention, in reality rhastable is shrunk and expanded from a kernel worker so no mempolicy can be assumed. Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper, which is a transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback, if the caller is allowed to block and use the flag otherwise.

2017-05-09mm: support __GFP_REPEAT in kvmalloc_node for >32kBMichal Hocko4-27/+24
vhost code uses __GFP_REPEAT when allocating vhost_virtqueue resp. vhost_vsock because it would really like to prefer kmalloc to the vmalloc fallback - see 23cc5a991c7a ("vhost-net: extend device allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also noted: "__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses are." The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users. Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is ignored for !costly orders. Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of this patch. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

2017-05-09mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc usersMichal Hocko2-11/+20
__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by "mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs to vmalloc as a caller: 0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3 0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

2017-05-09mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpersMichal Hocko24-130/+103
Patch series "kvmalloc", v5. There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately. While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there. kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die slowly.

2017-05-09sysv,ipc: cacheline align kern_ipc_permDavidlohr Bueso2-6/+4
Assign 'struct kern_ipc_perm' its own cacheline to avoid false sharing with sysv ipc calls. While the structure itself is rather read-mostly throughout the lifespan of ipc, the spinlock causes most of the invalidations. One example is commit 31a7c4746e9 ("ipc/sem.c: cacheline align the ipc spinlock for semaphores"). Therefore, extend this to all ipc. The effect of cacheline alignment on sems can be seen in sembench, which deals mostly with semtimedop wait/wakes is seen to improve raw throughput (worker loops) between 8 to 12% on a 24-core x86 with over 4 threads.

2017-05-09initramfs: use vfs_stat/lstat directlyArnd Bergmann2-24/+10
sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user format, which is not needed for in-kernel users. Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes. This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.

2017-05-09initramfs: provide a way to ignore image provided by bootloaderDaniel Thompson2-1/+11
Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader. However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways for bootloaders to make things difficult for us. Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel from loading the bootloader supplied image. We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders aren't usually a problem.

2017-05-09pidns: disable pid allocation if pid_ns_prepare_proc() is failed in alloc_pid()Kirill Tkhai1-1/+3
alloc_pidmap() advances pid_namespace::last_pid. When first pid allocation fails, then next created process will have pid 2 and pid_ns_prepare_proc() won't be called. So, pid_namespace::proc_mnt will never be initialized (not to mention that there won't be a child reaper).

Since there was a similar issue in Oleg Nesterov's commit 314a8ad0f18a ("pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure"). and it was fixed via prohibiting allocation, let's follow this way, and do the same.

2017-05-09powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump memory reservationHari Bathini1-13/+10
fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter. This parameter currently supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem=<size> only. This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like range-based memory size <range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,<range3>:<size3>,...] which allows using the same parameter to boot the kernel with different system RAM sizes. As crashkernel parameter already supports the above mentioned syntaxes, this patch deprecates fadump_reserve_mem parameter and reuses crashkernel parameter instead, to specify memory for fadump's crash kernel memory reservation as well. If any offset is provided in crashkernel parameter, it will be ignored in case of fadump, as fadump reserves memory at end of RAM. Advantages using crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem parameter are one less kernel parameter overall, code reuse and support for multiple syntaxes to specify memory.

2017-05-09crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_COREHari Bathini9-462/+531
Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4. Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump. The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter. This patch (of 5): Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config, allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no functional change with this patch.

2017-05-09cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsignedAlexey Dobriyan3-4/+4
Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but "nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign extensions occur on x86_64. Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of uses across whole kernel. Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative after all. It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without MOVSX. Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary. Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function or comparison is already unsigned.

2017-05-09fork: free vmapped stacks in cache when cpus are offlineHoeun Ryu1-0/+23
Using virtually mapped stack, kernel stacks are allocated via vmalloc. In the current implementation, two stacks per cpu can be cached when tasks are freed and the cached stacks are used again in task duplications. But the cached stacks may remain unfreed even when cpu are offline. By adding a cpu hotplug callback to free the cached stacks when a cpu goes offline, the pages of the cached stacks are not wasted.

2017-05-09checkpatch: add --typedefsfileJerome Forissier1-17/+35
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings. Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and deal with this issue. This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

2017-05-09kernel/hung_task.c: defer showing held locksTetsuo Handa1-1/+7
When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by commit b2d4c2edb2e4 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks"). For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for 1000 times. This is a too much noise. In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread() loop. Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.

2017-05-09jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smpMatthias Kaehlcke1-8/+3
jiffies_64 is defined in kernel/time/timer.c with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp, however this macro is not part of the declaration of jiffies and jiffies_64 in jiffies.h. As a result clang generates the following warning: kernel/time/timer.c:57:26: error: section does not match previous declaration [-Werror,-Wsection] __visible u64 jiffies_64 __cacheline_aligned_in_smp = INITIAL_JIFFIES; ^ include/linux/cache.h:39:36: note: expanded from macro '__cacheline_aligned_in_smp' ^ include/linux/cache.h:34:4: note: expanded from macro '__cacheline_aligned' __section__(".data..cacheline_aligned"))) ^ include/linux/jiffies.h:77:12: note: previous attribute is here extern u64 __jiffy_data jiffies_64; ^ include/linux/jiffies.h:70:38: note: expanded from macro '__jiffy_data' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170403190200.70273-1-mka@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org> Cc: "Jason A .

2017-05-09drivers/virt/fsl_hypervisor.c: use get_user_pages_unlocked()Lorenzo Stoakes1-5/+2
Moving from get_user_pages() to get_user_pages_unlocked() simplifies the code and takes advantage of VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality when faulting in pages.

2017-05-09proc/sysctl: fix the int overflow for jiffies conversionGao Feng1-1/+1
do_proc_dointvec_jiffies_conv() uses LONG_MAX/HZ as the max value to avoid overflow. But actually the *valp is int type, so it still causes overflow. For example, echo 2147483647 > ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time Then, cat ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time The output is "-1", it is not expected. Now use INT_MAX/HZ as the max value instead LONG_MAX/HZ to fix it.
