git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina: "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in this pile. Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a proprietary service, without any intentions to have their implementation merged. Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2]. The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic nature of the change that is being introduced. In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code redirection machinery to the patched functions. On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the "patched" one at safe checkpoints. If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that evolved around [3]. It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting. And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull request. It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e. code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc). It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible. It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code). It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about regs-saving). Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been sketched out already in the thread at [3]). Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION && SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3]. This tree has been in linux-next since December.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton: "Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes. - fs/notify updates - ocfs2 - some of MM" That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(), which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot* of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the non-linear mappings that it used. From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of one non-linear one. The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying the VM is a big advantage. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (78 commits) memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex memcg: zap memcg_name argument of memcg_create_kmem_cache memcg: zap __memcg_{charge,uncharge}_slab mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check mm: hugetlb: fix type of hugetlb_treat_as_movable variable mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"? mm: memory: merge shared-writable dirtying branches in do_wp_page() mm: memory: remove ->vm_file check on shared writable vmas xtensa: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers x86: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers unicore32: drop pte_file()-related helpers um: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers tile: drop pte_file()-related helpers sparc: drop pte_file()-related helpers sh: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers score: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers s390: drop pte_file()-related helpers parisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers openrisc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers nios2: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs. Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new features on top of it. The primary example is the rework of ACPI resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA, ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains core code too. The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes. Specifics: - Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng). - ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu). - ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt handling rework that allows drivers to install raw handlers for ACPI GPEs which then become entirely responsible for the given GPE and the ACPICA core code won't touch it (Lv Zheng, David E Box, Octavian Purdila). - ACPI EC driver rework to fix several concurrency issues and other problems related to events handling on top of the ACPICA's new support for raw GPE handlers (Lv Zheng). - New ACPI driver for AMD SoCs analogous to the LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver for Intel chips (Ken Xue). - Two minor fixes of the ACPI LPSS driver (Heikki Krogerus, Jarkko Nikula). - Two new blacklist entries for machines (Samsung 730U3E/740U3E and 510R) where the native backlight interface doesn't work correctly while the ACPI one does (Hans de Goede). - Rework of the ACPI processor driver's handling of idle states to make the code more straightforward and less bloated overall (Rafael J Wysocki). - Assorted minor fixes related to ACPI and SFI (Andreas Ruprecht, Andy Shevchenko, Hanjun Guo, Jan Beulich, Rafael J Wysocki, Yaowei Bai). - PCI core power management modification to avoid resuming (some) runtime-suspended devices during system suspend if they are in the right states already (Rafael J Wysocki). - New SFI-based cpufreq driver for Intel platforms using SFI (Srinidhi Kasagar). - cpufreq core fixes, cleanups and simplifications (Viresh Kumar, Doug Anderson, Wolfram Sang). - SkyLake CPU support and other updates for the intel_pstate driver (Kristen Carlson Accardi, Srinivas Pandruvada). - cpufreq-dt driver cleanup (Markus Elfring). - Init fix for the ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver (Sudeep Holla). - Generic power domains core code fixes and cleanups (Ulf Hansson). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) core code cleanups and kernel documentation update (Nishanth Menon). - New dabugfs interface to make the list of PM QoS constraints available to user space (Nishanth Menon). - New devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor (Tomeu Vizoso). - New devfreq class (devfreq_event) to provide raw utilization data to devfreq governors (Chanwoo Choi). - Assorted minor fixes and cleanups related to power management (Andreas Ruprecht, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Rickard Strandqvist, Pavel Machek, Todd E Brandt, Wonhong Kwon). - turbostat updates (Len Brown) and cpupower Makefile improvement (Sriram Raghunathan)" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (151 commits) tools/power turbostat: relax dependency on APERF_MSR tools/power turbostat: relax dependency on invariant TSC Merge branch 'pci/host-generic' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci into acpi-resources tools/power turbostat: decode MSR_*_PERF_LIMIT_REASONS tools/power turbostat: relax dependency on root permission ACPI / video: Add disable_native_backlight quirk for Samsung 510R ACPI / PM: Remove unneeded nested #ifdef USB / PM: Remove unneeded #ifdef and associated dead code intel_pstate: provide option to only use intel_pstate with HWP ACPI / EC: Add GPE reference counting debugging messages ACPI / EC: Add query flushing support ACPI / EC: Refine command storm prevention support ACPI / EC: Add command flushing support.

2015-02-11mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulationKirill A. Shutemov1-4/+3
remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database workloads. Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available. Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code. The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent one. I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test emulation impact on. I've checked Debian code search and source of all packages in ALT Linux. No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff. There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall. They work just fine with emulation. To test performance impact, I've written small test case which demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order, read every page. The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM. Before: 23.3 ( +- 4.31% ) seconds After: 43.9 ( +- 0.85% ) seconds Slowdown: 1.88x I believe we can live with that.

Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature: JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT. When this feature is opened, journal commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks, which can improve journal commit performance. This option will enable 'journal_checksum' internally. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5. test script: fs_mark -d /mnt/ocfs2/ -s 10240 -n 1000 default: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 215.2 17878 with journal_async_commit option: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 317.5 17881 Signed-off-by: Alex Chen <alex.chen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Weiwei Wang <wangww631@huawei.comm> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-02-08tcp: helpers to mitigate ACK loops by rate-limiting out-of-window dupacksNeal Cardwell1-0/+22
Helpers for mitigating ACK loops by rate-limiting dupacks sent in response to incoming out-of-window packets. This patch includes: - rate-limiting logic - sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets - SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured rate limit. We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in response. We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other. The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob, tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit. The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule 2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and arrive much closer.
