init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies
a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look
it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland
mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning.
There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs"
from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along
and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible
change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence
in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels.
*IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake
it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though.

the only thing done by the latter is making ramfs visible
to mount(2); we don't need it there - rootfs is separate
and, in fact, made visible to mount(2) in the same init_rootfs().

With gcc-4.6.3:

Fix this by adding the missing __init annotations.

Utilization clamping allows to clamp the CPU's utilization within a
[util_min, util_max] range, depending on the set of RUNNABLE tasks on
that CPU. Each task references two "clamp buckets" defining its minimum
and maximum (util_{min,max}) utilization "clamp values". A CPU's clamp
bucket is active if there is at least one RUNNABLE tasks enqueued on
that CPU and refcounting that bucket.
When a task is {en,de}queued {on,from} a rq, the set of active clamp
buckets on that CPU can change. If the set of active clamp buckets
changes for a CPU a new "aggregated" clamp value is computed for that
CPU. This is because each clamp bucket enforces a different utilization
clamp value.
Clamp values are always MAX aggregated for both util_min and util_max.
This ensures that no task can affect the performance of other
co-scheduled tasks which are more boosted (i.e. with higher util_min
clamp) or less capped (i.e. with higher util_max clamp).
A task has:
task_struct::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket_id
to track the "bucket index" of the CPU's clamp bucket it refcounts while
enqueued, for each clamp index (clamp_id).
A runqueue has:
rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].tasks
to track how many RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU refcount each
clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id).
It also has a:
rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].value
to track the clamp value of each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp
index (clamp_id).
The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time it's
needed to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This
operation is required only when it's dequeued the last task of a clamp
bucket tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In this case,
the CPU is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or
more clamped task.
The expected number of different clamp values configured at build time
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line, for configurations of up to 7 buckets.
Add to struct rq the basic data structures required to refcount the
number of RUNNABLE tasks for each clamp bucket. Add also the max
aggregation required to update the rq's clamp value at each
enqueue/dequeue event.
Use a simple linear mapping of clamp values into clamp buckets.
Pre-compute and cache bucket_id to avoid integer divisions at
enqueue/dequeue time.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers
remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone
units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.
Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will
generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.

In commit:
4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Since commit 54c7a8916a88 ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.
In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.
Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f
("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this
numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized
("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and
disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance.
However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts
are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate
time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server
platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case.
The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a
workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance
degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to
excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the
valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance.
Here are some performance impact details of the patches:
1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a
3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts.
The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an
instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized
numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they
would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes
without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted
unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node.
2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap
size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8%
for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With
randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%.
3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in
cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with
randomization in one case.
4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization
enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some
improvements and some losses [3].
While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that
depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance
may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the
shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped
memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0
parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems.
Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially
security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and
return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the
location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially
early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for
physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first
onlined.
Quoting Kees:
"While we already have a base-address randomization
(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and
memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of
allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't
important: only the relative positions between allocated memory).
This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain
control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc.
I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar
to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator."
While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab
caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated.
However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to
quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization.
Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform
a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they
are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do
this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line
parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a
follow-on patch).
The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free
pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10,
4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling.
MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator
while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the
expectation that the security implications of finer granularity
randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The
performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to
other memory initialization work.
This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is
introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to
ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to
the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process
putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together,
page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As
more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high
page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant
impact to the cache conflict rate.

Patch series "provide a generic free_initmem implementation", v2.
Many architectures implement free_initmem() in exactly the same or very
similar way: they wrap the call to free_initmem_default() with sometimes
different 'poison' parameter.
These patches switch those architectures to use a generic implementation
that does free_initmem_default(POISON_FREE_INITMEM).
This was inspired by Christoph's patches for free_initrd_mem [1] and I
shamelessly copied changelog entries from his patches :)

Patch series "initramfs tidyups".
I've spent some time chasing down behavior in initramfs and found
plenty of opportunity to improve the code. A first stab on that is
contained in this series.
This patch (of 7):
We free the initrd memory for all successful or error cases except for the
case where opening /initrd.image fails, which looks like an oversight.
Steven said:
: This also changes the behaviour when CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE is enabled
: - specifically it means that the initrd is freed (previously it was
: ignored and never freed). But that seems like reasonable behaviour and
: the previous behaviour looks like another oversight.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

To prevent improper use of the PTEs that are used for text patching, the
next patches will use a temporary mm struct. Initailize it by copying
the init mm.
The address that will be used for patching is taken from the lower area
that is usually used for the task memory. Doing so prevents the need to
frequently synchronize the temporary-mm (e.g., when BPF programs are
installed), since different PGDs are used for the task memory.
Finally, randomize the address of the PTEs to harden against exploits
that use these PTEs.

Introduce in-kernel headers which are made available as an archive
through proc (/proc/kheaders.tar.xz file). This archive makes it
possible to run eBPF and other tracing programs that need to extend the
kernel for tracing purposes without any dependency on the file system
having headers.
A github PR is sent for the corresponding BCC patch at:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/2312
On Android and embedded systems, it is common to switch kernels but not
have kernel headers available on the file system. Further once a
different kernel is booted, any headers stored on the file system will
no longer be useful. This is an issue even well known to distros.
By storing the headers as a compressed archive within the kernel, we can
avoid these issues that have been a hindrance for a long time.
The best way to use this feature is by building it in. Several users
have a need for this, when they switch debug kernels, they do not want to
update the filesystem or worry about it where to store the headers on
it. However, the feature is also buildable as a module in case the user
desires it not being part of the kernel image. This makes it possible to
load and unload the headers from memory on demand. A tracing program can
load the module, do its operations, and then unload the module to save
kernel memory. The total memory needed is 3.3MB.
By having the archive available at a fixed location independent of
filesystem dependencies and conventions, all debugging tools can
directly refer to the fixed location for the archive, without concerning
with where the headers on a typical filesystem which significantly
simplifies tooling that needs kernel headers.
The code to read the headers is based on /proc/config.gz code and uses
the same technique to embed the headers.
Other approaches were discussed such as having an in-memory mountable
filesystem, but that has drawbacks such as requiring an in-kernel xz
decompressor which we don't have today, and requiring usage of 42 MB of
kernel memory to host the decompressed headers at anytime. Also this
approach is simpler than such approaches.

Right now rand_initialize() is run as an early_initcall(), but it only
depends on timekeeping_init() (for mixing ktime_get_real() into the
pools). However, the call to boot_init_stack_canary() for stack canary
initialization runs earlier, which triggers a warning at boot:
random: get_random_bytes called from start_kernel+0x357/0x548 with crng_init=0
Instead, this moves rand_initialize() to after timekeeping_init(), and moves
canary initialization here as well.
Note that this warning may still remain for machines that do not have
UEFI RNG support (which initializes the RNG pools during setup_arch()),
or for x86 machines without RDRAND (or booting without "random.trust=on"
or CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU=y).

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
"Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.
Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).
This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.
io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
some basic numbers:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/
Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
kernel.
Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.
This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
should be painless.
Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/
Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
security and bugs in general.
There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
(thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:
git://git.kernel.dk/liburing
Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"A lucky 13 audit patches for v5.1.
Despite the rather large diffstat, most of the changes are from two
bug fix patches that move code from one Kconfig option to another.
Beyond that bit of churn, the remaining changes are largely cleanups
and bug-fixes as we slowly march towards container auditing. It isn't
all boring though, we do have a couple of new things: file
capabilities v3 support, and expanded support for filtering on
filesystems to solve problems with remote filesystems.
All changes pass the audit-testsuite. Please merge for v5.1"

Moving the CONTEXT_TRACKING Kconfig option into kernel/time/Kconfig added
an implicit dependency on the surrounding GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS option, but
this is not always enabled when it is possible to select
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CONTEXT_TRACKING
Depends on [n]: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y] && <choice> && HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING [=y] && HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y]
Platforms without GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS are rare enough so that corner case
can be just ignored. Make it a dependency for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to
simplify the configuration.
