2018-12-18timekeeping: remove obsolete time accessorsArnd Bergmann2-23/+0
There are no more remaining users of these deprecated wrappers, so let's remove them before new users have a chance to make it in. See Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst for replacements when porting old drivers that contain calls to this function.

2018-12-18vfs: replace current_kernel_time64 with ktime equivalentArnd Bergmann1-1/+3
current_time is the last remaining caller of current_kernel_time64(), which is a wrapper around ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64(). This calls the latter directly for consistency with the rest of the kernel that is moving to the ktime_get_ family of time accessors, as now documented in Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst. An open questions is whether we may want to actually call the more accurate ktime_get_real_ts64() for file systems that save high-resolution timestamps in their on-disk format. This would add a small overhead to each update of the inode stamps but lead to inode timestamps to actually have a usable resolution better than one jiffy (1 to 10 milliseconds normally). Experiments on a variety of hardware platforms show a typical time of around 100 CPU cycles to read the cycle counter and calculate the accurate time from that. On old platforms without a cycle counter, this can be signiciantly higher, up to several microseconds to access a hardware clock, but those have become very rare by now. I traced the original addition of the current_kernel_time() call to set the nanosecond fields back to linux-2.5.48, where Andi Kleen added a patch with subject "nanosecond stat timefields". Andi explains that the motivation was to introduce as little overhead as possible back then. At this time, reading the clock hardware was also more expensive when most architectures did not have a cycle counter. One side effect of having more accurate inode timestamp would be having to write out the inode every time that mtime/ctime/atime get touched on most systems, whereas many file systems today only write it when the timestamps have changed, i.e. at most once per jiffy unless something else changes as well. That change would certainly be noticed in some workloads, which is enough reason to not do it without a good reason, regardless of the cost of reading the time. One thing we could still consider however would be to round the timestamps from current_time() to multiples of NSEC_PER_JIFFY, e.g. full milliseconds rather than having six or seven meaningless but confusing digits at the end of the timestamp.

2018-12-18timekeeping: remove timespec_add/timespec_delArnd Bergmann2-61/+0
The last users were removed a while ago since everyone moved to ktime_t, so we can remove the two unused interfaces for old timespec structures. With those two gone, set_normalized_timespec() is also unused, so remove that as well. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2018-12-18timekeeping: remove unused {read,update}_persistent_clockArnd Bergmann3-25/+3
After arch/sh has removed the last reference to these functions, we can remove them completely and just rely on the 64-bit time_t based versions. This cleans up a rather ugly use of __weak functions. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2018-12-18sh: remove board_time_init() callbackArnd Bergmann4-21/+1
The only remaining user of board_time_init() is the of-generic machine, and that just calls the global timer_init() function. Calling that one has no effect on non-DT platforms, so we can simply call it unconditionally in place of board_time_init(). Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18sh: remove unused rtc_sh_get/set_time infrastructureArnd Bergmann2-71/+0
All platforms are now converted to RTC drivers, so this has become obsolete. The board_time_init() callback still has one caller, but could otherwise also get killed. This removes one more usage of the deprecated timespec structure, which overflows in y2038. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18sh: sh03: rtc: push down rtc class ops into driverArnd Bergmann4-30/+35
The SH RTC support has an extra level of indirection to provide either the old read_persistent_clock/update_persistent_clock interface or the rtc-generic device for hctosys/systohc. By removing the indirection and always using the RTC_CLASS interface, we can avoid the lossy double conversion between rtc_time and timespec, so we end up supporting the entire range of 'year' values, and clarifying the rtc_set_time callback. I did not change the behavior of sh03_rtc_settimeofday(), which keeps just updating the seconds/minutes by calling set_rtc_mmss(), this could be improved if anyone cares. Also, the file should ideally be moved into drivers/rtc and not use rtc-generic. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18sh: dreamcast: rtc: push down rtc class ops into driverArnd Bergmann5-18/+35
The SH RTC support has an extra level of indirection to provide either the old read_persistent_clock/update_persistent_clock interface or the rtc-generic device for hctosys/systohc. Both do the same thing for dreamcast, so we can do away with the abstraction and simply let the RTC core code to take care of it. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18y2038: signal: Add compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64Arnd Bergmann2-0/+35
Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid() for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures. The traditional system call keeps getting handled by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout argument type. The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such system calls together at a later point. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18y2038: signal: Add sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32Arnd Bergmann2-0/+37
Once sys_rt_sigtimedwait() gets changed to a 64-bit time_t, we have to provide compatibility support for existing binaries. An earlier version of this patch reused the compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait entry point to avoid code duplication, but this newer approach duplicates the existing native entry point instead, which seems a bit cleaner. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-18y2038: socket: Add compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64Arnd Bergmann6-41/+72
recvmmsg() takes two arguments to pointers of structures that differ between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures: mmsghdr and timespec. For y2038 compatbility, we are changing the native system call from timespec to __kernel_timespec with a 64-bit time_t (in another patch), and use the existing compat system call on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures for compatibility with traditional 32-bit user space. As we now have two variants of recvmmsg() for 32-bit tasks that are both different from the variant that we use on 64-bit tasks, this means we also require two compat system calls! The solution I picked is to flip things around: The existing compat_sys_recvmmsg() call gets moved from net/compat.c into net/socket.c and now handles the case for old user space on all architectures that have set CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME. A new compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64() call gets added in the old place for 64-bit architectures only, this one handles the case of a compat mmsghdr structure combined with __kernel_timespec. In the indirect sys_socketcall(), we now need to call either do_sys_recvmmsg() or __compat_sys_recvmmsg(), depending on what kind of architecture we are on. For compat_sys_socketcall(), no such change is needed, we always call __compat_sys_recvmmsg(). I decided to not add a new SYS_RECVMMSG_TIME64 socketcall: Any libc implementation for 64-bit time_t will need significant changes including an updated asm/unistd.h, and it seems better to consistently use the separate syscalls that configuration, leaving the socketcall only for backward compatibility with 32-bit time_t based libc. The naming is asymmetric for the moment, so both existing syscalls entry points keep their names, while the new ones are recvmmsg_time32 and compat_recvmmsg_time64 respectively. I expect that we will rename the compat syscalls later as we start using generated syscall tables everywhere and add these entry points. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-08y2038: futex: Add support for __kernel_timespecArnd Bergmann2-11/+13
This prepares sys_futex for y2038 safe calling: the native syscall is changed to receive a __kernel_timespec argument, which will be switched to 64-bit time_t in the future. All the internal time handling gets changed to timespec64, and the compat_sys_futex entry point is moved under the CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME check to provide compatibility for existing 32-bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-08y2038: futex: Move compat implementation into futex.cArnd Bergmann4-216/+192
We are going to share the compat_sys_futex() handler between 64-bit architectures and 32-bit architectures that need to deal with both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, and this is easier if both entry points are in the same file. In fact, most other system call handlers do the same thing these days, so let's follow the trend here and merge all of futex_compat.c into futex.c. In the process, a few minor changes have to be done to make sure everything still makes sense: handle_futex_death() and futex_cmpxchg_enabled() become local symbol, and the compat version of the fetch_robust_entry() function gets renamed to compat_fetch_robust_entry() to avoid a symbol clash. This is intended as a purely cosmetic patch, no behavior should change. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2018-12-06signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()Deepa Dinamani5-103/+51
Refactor the logic to restore the sigmask before the syscall returns into an api. This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the sigmask and expect the current->sigmask to be changed during the execution and restored after the execution of the syscall. With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches, we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to be replicated otherwise. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-12-06signal: Add set_user_sigmask()Deepa Dinamani6-70/+76
Refactor reading sigset from userspace and updating sigmask into an api.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches, we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll, and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to be replicated otherwise. Note that the calls to sigprocmask() ignored the return value from the api as the function only returns an error on an invalid first argument that is hardcoded at these call sites. The updated logic uses set_current_blocked() instead. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2018-11-03mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmaskMichal Hocko5-77/+40
THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode. This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong. Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic. Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously __GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.

2018-11-03ocfs2: dlmglue: clean up timestamp handlingArnd Bergmann1-17/+9
The handling of timestamps outside of the 1970..2038 range in the dlm glue is rather inconsistent: on 32-bit architectures, this has always wrapped around to negative timestamps in the 1902..1969 range, while on 64-bit kernels all timestamps are interpreted as positive 34 bit numbers in the 1970..2514 year range. Now that the VFS code handles 64-bit timestamps on all architectures, we can make the behavior more consistent here, and return the same result that we had on 64-bit already, making the file system y2038 safe in the process. Outside of dlmglue, it already uses 64-bit on-disk timestamps anway, so that part is fine. For consistency, I'm changing ocfs2_pack_timespec() to clamp anything outside of the supported range to the minimum and maximum values. This avoids a possible ambiguity of values before 1970 in particular, which used to be interpreted as times at the end of the 2514 range previously.

2018-11-03ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outsideChangwei Ge1-18/+59
ocfs2_read_blocks() and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() are both used to read several blocks from disk. Currently, the input argument *bhs* can be NULL or NOT. It depends on the caller's behavior. If the function fails in reading blocks from disk, the corresponding bh will be assigned to NULL and put. Obviously, above process for non-NULL input bh is not appropriate. Because the caller doesn't even know its bhs are put and re-assigned. If buffer head is managed by caller, ocfs2_read_blocks and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() should not evaluate it to NULL. It will cause caller accessing illegal memory, thus crash.

2018-11-03ocfs2: fix a misuse a of brelse after failing ocfs2_check_dir_entryChangwei Ge1-2/+1
Somehow, file system metadata was corrupted, which causes ocfs2_check_dir_entry() to fail in function ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el(). According to the original design intention, if above happens we should skip the problematic block and continue to retrieve dir entry. But there is obviouse misuse of brelse around related code. After failure of ocfs2_check_dir_entry(), current code just moves to next position and uses the problematic buffer head again and again during which the problematic buffer head is released for multiple times. I suppose, this a serious issue which is long-lived in ocfs2. This may cause other file systems which is also used in a the same host insane. So we should also consider about bakcporting this patch into linux -stable.

Andrea has identified that the main source of the problem is __GFP_THISNODE usage: : The problem is that direct compaction combined with the NUMA : __GFP_THISNODE logic in mempolicy.c is telling reclaim to swap very : hard the local node, instead of failing the allocation if there's no : THP available in the local node. : : Such logic was ok until __GFP_THISNODE was added to the THP allocation : path even with MPOL_DEFAULT. : : The idea behind the __GFP_THISNODE addition, is that it is better to : provide local memory in PAGE_SIZE units than to use remote NUMA THP : backed memory. That largely depends on the remote latency though, on : threadrippers for example the overhead is relatively low in my : experience. : : The combination of __GFP_THISNODE and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM results in : extremely slow qemu startup with vfio, if the VM is larger than the : size of one host NUMA node. This is because it will try very hard to : unsuccessfully swapout get_user_pages pinned pages as result of the : __GFP_THISNODE being set, instead of falling back to PAGE_SIZE : allocations and instead of trying to allocate THP on other nodes (it : would be even worse without vfio type1 GUP pins of course, except it'd : be swapping heavily instead). Fix this by removing __GFP_THISNODE for THP requests which are requesting the direct reclaim. This effectivelly reverts 5265047ac301 on the grounds that the zone/node reclaim was known to be disruptive due to premature reclaim when there was memory free. While it made sense at the time for HPC workloads without NUMA awareness on rare machines, it was ultimately harmful in the majority of cases. The existing behaviour is similar, if not as widespare as it applies to a corner case but crucially, it cannot be tuned around like zone_reclaim_mode can. The default behaviour should always be to cause the least harm for the common case. If there are specialised use cases out there that want zone_reclaim_mode in specific cases, then it can be built on top. Longterm we should consider a memory policy which allows for the node reclaim like behavior for the specific memory ranges which would allow a [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180820032204.9591-1-aarcange@redhat.com Mel said: : Both patches look correct to me but I'm responding to this one because : it's the fix. The change makes sense and moves further away from the : severe stalling behaviour we used to see with both THP and zone reclaim : mode. : : I put together a basic experiment with usemem configured to reference a : buffer multiple times that is 80% the size of main memory on a 2-socket : box with symmetric node sizes and defrag set to "always". The defrag : setting is not the default but it would be functionally similar to : accessing a buffer with madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).

If zone reclaim mode behaviour is ever desired but on a : single task instead of a global basis then the sensible option is to build : a mempolicy that enforces that behaviour. This was a severe regression compared to previous kernels that made important workloads unusable and it starts when __GFP_THISNODE was added to THP allocations under MADV_HUGEPAGE. It is not a significant risk to go to the previous behavior before __GFP_THISNODE was added, it worked like that for years. This was simply an optimization to some lucky workloads that can fit in a single node, but it ended up breaking the VM for others that can't possibly fit in a single node, so going back is safe.
