2016-12-25mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bitNicholas Piggin
Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).

2016-12-09x86/amd: Check for the C1E bug post ACPI subsystem initThomas Gleixner
AMD CPUs affected by the E400 erratum suffer from the issue that the local APIC timer stops when the CPU goes into C1E. Unfortunately there is no way to detect the affected CPUs on early boot. It's only possible to determine the range of possibly affected CPUs from the family/model range. The actual decision whether to enter C1E and thus cause the bug is done by the firmware and we need to detect that case late, after ACPI has been initialized. The current solution is to check in the idle routine whether the CPU is affected by reading the MSR_K8_INT_PENDING_MSG MSR and checking for the K8_INTP_C1E_ACTIVE_MASK bits. If one of the bits is set then the CPU is affected and the system is switched into forced broadcast mode. This is ineffective and on non-affected CPUs every entry to idle does the extra RDMSR. After doing some research it turns out that the bits are visible on the boot CPU right after the ACPI subsystem is initialized in the early boot process. So instead of polling for the bits in the idle loop, add a detection function after acpi_subsystem_init() and check for the MSR bits. If set, then the X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is set on the boot CPU and the TSC is marked unstable when X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC is not set as it will stop in C1E state as well. The switch to broadcast mode cannot be done at this point because the boot CPU still uses HPET as a clockevent device and the local APIC timer is not yet calibrated and installed. The switch to broadcast mode on the affected CPUs needs to be done when the local APIC timer is actually set up. This allows to cleanup the amd_e400_idle() function in the next step.

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-11-29Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker formLinus Torvalds
This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26 seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of symbols that have been defined in assembler files. [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new version of binutils ] Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for the annoying problem.

2016-11-25cgroup: add support for eBPF programsDaniel Mack
This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup. One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such that are effective for it. To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example cgroup hierarchy. A - B - C \ D - E If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one program of a given type is effective for a cgroup. Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2) syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the only supported use-cases.

2016-10-11relay: Use irq_work instead of plain timer for deferred wakeupPeter Zijlstra
Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock. The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for delegating the wakeup to another context. commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net> Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700 relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers when a simple timer will do. Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub buffers to store the new data. By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

2016-10-10gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy pluginEmese Revfy
This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

2016-09-17workqueue: make workqueue available early during bootTejun Heo
Workqueue is currently initialized in an early init call; however, there are cases where early boot code has to be split and reordered to come after workqueue initialization or the same code path which makes use of workqueues is used both before workqueue initailization and after. The latter cases have to gate workqueue usages with keventd_up() tests, which is nasty and easy to get wrong. Workqueue usages have become widespread and it'd be a lot more convenient if it can be used very early from boot. This patch splits workqueue initialization into two steps. workqueue_init_early() which sets up the basic data structures so that workqueues can be created and work items queued, and workqueue_init() which actually brings up workqueues online and starts executing queued work items. The former step can be done very early during boot once memory allocation, cpumasks and idr are initialized. The latter right after kthreads become available. This allows work item queueing and canceling from very early boot which is what most of these use cases want. * As systemd_wq being initialized doesn't indicate that workqueue is fully online anymore, update keventd_up() to test wq_online instead. The follow-up patches will get rid of all its usages and the function itself. * Flushing doesn't make sense before workqueue is fully initialized. The flush functions trigger WARN and return immediately before fully online. * Work items are never in-flight before fully online. Canceling can always succeed by skipping the flush step. * Some code paths can no longer assume to be called with irq enabled as irq is disabled during early boot. Use irqsave/restore operations instead. v2: Watchdog init, which requires timer to be running, moved from workqueue_init_early() to workqueue_init().

Doing patches with allmodconfig kernel compiled and committing stuff into local tree have unfortunate consequence: kernel version changes (as it should) leading to recompiling and relinking of several files even if they weren't touched (or interesting at all). This and "git-whatever" figuring out current version slow down compilation for no good reason. But lets face it, "allmodconfig" kernels don't care about kernel version, they are simply compile check guinea pigs. Make LOCALVERSION_AUTO depend on !COMPILE_TEST, so it doesn't sneak into allmodconfig .config.

2016-08-02init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UMLRichard Weinberger
UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma. That means a lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is the only stranger. We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds. One could argue that a decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug. But the dependency not obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when developing a device driver. A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon runtime. Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML. Since it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support let's do the latter.

2016-07-26mm: SLUB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier
Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU. On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.

I will attempt to isolate the Expert users menu if there is interest in that.
