Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update to RCU:
Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:
- Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
pair of fields.
This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
consolidation of the three RCU flavors.
Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
number of excellent fixes and improvements.
- Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
(Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
RCU-sched flavors.
The rest:
- SRCU updates
- Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.
- The usual pile of miscellaneous fixes"

This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19
merge window.
We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really
about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly
named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name).
This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after
the percpu data has been properly initialized. It even has a comment to
that effect.
Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly
initialized. On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and
arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific
'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init().
This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch
pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using
'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code:
- per_cpu_ptr(&cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())->state = CPUHP_ONLINE;
+ this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE);
which is obviously the right thing to do. Except because of the
ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64.
So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to
be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu
hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already
been done earlier.
Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this
problem is marked for stable.

It's exclusive with normal behaviour but if try to set vlan to one of
the reserved values is made, the cpsw runtime pm is broken.

In cases if some of the entries were not found in forwarding table
while killing vlan, the rest not needed entries still left in the
table. No need to stop, as entry was deleted anyway. So fix this by
returning error only after all was cleaned. To implement this, return
-ENOENT in cpsw_ale_del_mcast() as it's supposed to be.

If zram supports writeback feature, it's no longer a
BD_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO device beause zram does asynchronous IO operations
for incompressible pages.
Do not pretend to be synchronous IO device. It makes the system very
sluggish due to waiting for IO completion from upper layers.
Furthermore, it causes a user-after-free problem because swap thinks the
opearion is done when the IO functions returns so it can free the page
(e.g., lock_page_or_retry and goto out_release in do_swap_page) but in
fact, IO is asynchronous so the driver could access a just freed page
afterward.
This patch fixes the problem.

With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy. GCC started to complain
about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer. There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member. It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it. But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences. So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us. If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash. Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.

pull-request: bpf 2018-08-10
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Fix cpumap and devmap on teardown as they're under RCU context
and won't have same assumption as running under NAPI protection,
from Jesper.
2) Fix various sockmap bugs in bpf_tcp_sendmsg() code, e.g. we had
a bug where socket error was not propagated correctly, from Daniel.
3) Fix incompatible libbpf header license for BTF code and match it
before it gets officially released with the rest of libbpf which
is LGPL-2.1, from Martin.

RCU pathwalk relies upon the assumption that anything that changes
->d_inode of a dentry will invalidate its ->d_seq. That's almost
true - the one exception is that the final dput() of already unhashed
dentry does *not* touch ->d_seq at all. Unhashing does, though,
so for anything we'd found by RCU dcache lookup we are fine.
Unfortunately, we can *start* with an unhashed dentry or jump into
it.
We could try and be careful in the (few) places where that could
happen. Or we could just make the final dput() invalidate the damn
thing, unhashed or not. The latter is much simpler and easier to
backport, so let's do it that way.

__legitimize_mnt() has two problems - one is that in case of success
the check of mount_lock is not ordered wrt preceding increment of
refcount, making it possible to have successful __legitimize_mnt()
on one CPU just before the otherwise final mntpu() on another,
with __legitimize_mnt() not seeing mntput() taking the lock and
mntput() not seeing the increment done by __legitimize_mnt().
Solved by a pair of barriers.
Another is that failure of __legitimize_mnt() on the second
read_seqretry() leaves us with reference that'll need to be
dropped by caller; however, if that races with final mntput()
we can end up with caller dropping rcu_read_lock() and doing
mntput() to release that reference - with the first mntput()
having freed the damn thing just as rcu_read_lock() had been
dropped. Solution: in "do mntput() yourself" failure case
grab mount_lock, check if MNT_DOOMED has been set by racing
final mntput() that has missed our increment and if it has -
undo the increment and treat that as "failure, caller doesn't
need to drop anything" case.
It's not easy to hit - the final mntput() has to come right
after the first read_seqretry() in __legitimize_mnt() *and*
manage to miss the increment done by __legitimize_mnt() before
the second read_seqretry() in there. The things that are almost
impossible to hit on bare hardware are not impossible on SMP
KVM, though...

mntput_no_expire() does the calculation of total refcount under mount_lock;
unfortunately, the decrement (as well as all increments) are done outside
of it, leading to false positives in the "are we dropping the last reference"
test. Consider the following situation:
* mnt is a lazy-umounted mount, kept alive by two opened files. One
of those files gets closed. Total refcount of mnt is 2. On CPU 42
mntput(mnt) (called from __fput()) drops one reference, decrementing component
* After it has looked at component #0, the process on CPU 0 does
mntget(), incrementing component #0, gets preempted and gets to run again -
on CPU 69. There it does mntput(), which drops the reference (component #69)
and proceeds to spin on mount_lock.
* On CPU 42 our first mntput() finishes counting. It observes the
decrement of component #69, but not the increment of component #0. As the
result, the total it gets is not 1 as it should've been - it's 0. At which
point we decide that vfsmount needs to be killed and proceed to free it and
shut the filesystem down. However, there's still another opened file
on that filesystem, with reference to (now freed) vfsmount, etc. and we are
screwed.
It's not a wide race, but it can be reproduced with artificial slowdown of
the mnt_get_count() loop, and it should be easier to hit on SMP KVM setups.
Fix consists of moving the refcount decrement under mount_lock; the tricky
part is that we want (and can) keep the fast case (i.e. mount that still
has non-NULL ->mnt_ns) entirely out of mount_lock. All places that zero
mnt->mnt_ns are dropping some reference to mnt and they call synchronize_rcu()
before that mntput(). IOW, if mntput() observes (under rcu_read_lock())
a non-NULL ->mnt_ns, it is guaranteed that there is another reference yet to
be dropped.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:
====================
Removing entries from cpumap and devmap, goes through a number of
syncronization steps to make sure no new xdp_frames can be enqueued.
But there is a small chance, that xdp_frames remains which have not
been flushed/processed yet. Flushing these during teardown, happens
from RCU context and not as usual under RX NAPI context.
The optimization introduced in commt 389ab7f01af9 ("xdp: introduce
xdp_return_frame_rx_napi"), missed that the flush operation can also
be called from RCU context. Thus, we cannot always use the
xdp_return_frame_rx_napi call, which take advantage of the protection
provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection.
The samples/bpf xdp_redirect_cpu have a --stress-mode, that is
adjusted to easier reproduce (verified by Red Hat QA).

ndo_xdp_xmit() fails.

The teardown race in cpumap is really hard to reproduce. These changes
makes it easier to reproduce, for QA.
The --stress-mode now have a case of a very small queue size of 8, that helps
to trigger teardown flush to encounter a full queue, which results in calling
xdp_return_frame API, in a non-NAPI protect context.
Also increase MAX_CPUS, as my QA department have larger machines than me.

When removing a cpumap entry, a number of syncronization steps happen.
Eventually the teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free is invoked from/via
call_rcu.
The teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free() flushes remaining xdp_frames,
by invoking bq_flush_to_queue, which calls xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().
The issues is that the teardown code is not running in the RX NAPI
code path. Thus, it is not allowed to invoke the NAPI variant of
xdp_return_frame.
This bug was found and triggered by using the --stress-mode option to
the samples/bpf program xdp_redirect_cpu. It is hard to trigger,
because the ptr_ring have to be full and cpumap bulk queue max
contains 8 packets, and a remote CPU is racing to empty the ptr_ring
queue.

During ipmi stress tests we see occasional failure of transactions
at the boot time. This happens in the case of a I2C_M_RECV_LEN
transactions, when the read transfer completes (with the initial
read length of 34) before the driver gets a chance to handle interrupts.
The current driver code expects at least 2 interrupts for I2C_M_RECV_LEN
transactions. The length is updated during the first interrupt, and the
buffer contents are only copied during subsequent interrupts. In case of
just one interrupt, we will complete the transaction without copying
out the bytes from RX fifo.
Update the code to drain the RX fifo after the length update,
so that the transaction completes correctly in all cases.

The rule in MC Filter Table in NIC, that is configured to accept any
multicast packets, is turning on if IFF_MULTICAST flag is set on the
interface. It leads to passing all multicast traffic to the host.

AF_RXRPC has a keepalive message generator that generates a message for a
peer ~20s after the last transmission to that peer to keep firewall ports
open. The implementation is incorrect in the following ways:
(1) It mixes up ktime_t and time64_t types.
(2) It uses ktime_get_real(), the output of which may jump forward or
backward due to adjustments to the time of day.
(3) If the current time jumps forward too much or jumps backwards, the
generator function will crank the base of the time ring round one slot
at a time (ie. a 1s period) until it catches up, spewing out VERSION
packets as it goes.
Fix the problem by:
(1) Only using time64_t. There's no need for sub-second resolution.
(2) Use ktime_get_seconds() rather than ktime_get_real() so that time
isn't perceived to go backwards.
(3) Simplifying rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() by splitting it into two
parts:
(a) The "worker" function that manages the buckets and the timer.
(b) The "dispatch" function that takes the pending peers and
potentially transmits a keepalive packet before putting them back
in the ring into the slot appropriate to the revised last-Tx time.
(4) Taking everything that's pending out of the ring and splicing it into
a temporary collector list for processing.
In the case that there's been a significant jump forward, the ring
gets entirely emptied and then the time base can be warped forward
before the peers are processed.
The warping can't happen if the ring isn't empty because the slot a
peer is in is keepalive-time dependent, relative to the base time.
(5) Limit the number of iterations of the bucket array when scanning it.
(6) Set the timer to skip any empty slots as there's no point waking up if
there's nothing to do yet.
This can be triggered by an incoming call from a server after a reboot with
AF_RXRPC and AFS built into the kernel causing a peer record to be set up
before userspace is started. The system clock is then adjusted by
userspace, thereby potentially causing the keepalive generator to have a
meltdown - which leads to a message like:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [kworker/0:1:23]

For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in
order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is
not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the
way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx
series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and
loads and stores.
This is described in the following article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml
For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier
before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory
accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs
the same function on entry.
