2015-11-13Merge branch 'for-next' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute ->show() + ->store() function pointer usage from it's original tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code. It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2 changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers and others, unnecessary and obsolete. And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added easier than ever before. Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1 code" In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c2f ("stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices"). This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f78 ("configfs: remove old API") from this pull. As Alexander says about that patch: "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed. This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes. Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>" That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully bisectable. * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (23 commits) configfs: remove old API ocfs2/cluster: use per-attribute show and store methods ocfs2/cluster: move locking into attribute store methods netconsole: use per-attribute show and store methods target: use per-attribute show and store methods spear13xx_pcie_gadget: use per-attribute show and store methods dlm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_serial: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_phonet: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_obex: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac2: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac1: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_mass_storage: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_sourcesink: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_printer: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_midi: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_loopback: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/ether: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_acm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_hid: use per-attribute show and store methods ...

2015-11-09coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumpsRoss Zwisler
Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.

2015-11-05Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt: a little tidyingHugh Dickins
There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of /proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it back there. Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed). The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text; which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

2015-11-05mm: hugetlb: proc: add HugetlbPages field to /proc/PID/statusNaoya Horiguchi
Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages, which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory (including hugetlb) they use.

2015-10-18ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requestsLi RongQing
A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id, only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available such as when the root filesystem is on NFS. This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type, client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to identify itself to the server.

2015-10-04debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()Viresh Kumar
Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

2015-10-01fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchanIngo Molnar
So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in) leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space: seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan); The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason: static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task) { unsigned long wchan; char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN]; wchan = get_wchan(task); if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) { if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ)) return 0; seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan); } else { seq_printf(m, "%s", symname); } return 0; } This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset to any local attacker: fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35) ffffffff8123b380 Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic: ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat: triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1 open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6 There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked (whether there's a wchan address). These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via the System.map. So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

2015-09-08mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mappingMinchan Kim
We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS. On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android). This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get more exact workingset size per process. Bongkyu tested it. Result is below. 1. 50M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 411192 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 48236 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 141184 2. 240M used swap SwapTotal: 461976 kB SwapFree: 216808 kB $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 230315 $ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}'; 1387744 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify kunmap_atomic() call] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Reported-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Tested-by: Bongkyu Kim <bongkyu.kim@lge.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...

2015-07-01fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()Eric Dumazet
Mateusz Guzik reported : Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it. Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is done, or to prevent a resize. Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark : http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime, as table size is at least doubled at every resize. We can use RCU instead of the spinlock. __fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress. The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting, and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched()) resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources. rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run from process context.
