This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |
| patched | 99.97% | 14.18 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48ebfb ("cgroup: convert to
kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created
cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid. This broke
cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub
manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy
or put tasks into child cgroups it created.
Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and
one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown. User session
systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown
and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is
owned by root. This leads to 90s hang during shutdown.
Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those
of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.
Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":
"[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
be removed in the 2.5 development series".
We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

Pull ARM changes from Russell King:
- Perf updates from Will Deacon:
- Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
- Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
- Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
(run perf record on your FPGA!).
- Basic uprobes support from David Long:
This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
tables to process the results of the parsing.
- ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König
- OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.
- SA11x0 changes from Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov and Alexander Shiyan
- Support for Cortex-A12 CPU
- Align support for ARMv6 with ARMv7 so they can cooperate better in a
single zImage.
- Addition of first AT_HWCAP2 feature bits for ARMv8 crypto support.
- Removal of IRQ_DISABLED from various ARM files
- Improved efficiency of virt_to_page() for single zImage
- Patch from Ulf Hansson to permit runtime PM callbacks to be available for
AMBA devices for suspend/resume as well.

As mount() and kill_sb() is not a one-to-one match, If we mount the same
cgroupfs in serveral mount points, and then umount all of them, kill_sb()
will be called only once.
Try:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup2
# cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct
cpuacct 2 1 1
# umount /cgroup
# umount /cgroup2
# cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct
cpuacct 2 1 1
You'll see cgroupfs will never be freed.

*** DEADLOCK ***
There are three locks involved in two sequence:
a) pm suspend:
console_lock (@suspend_console())
cpu_add_remove_lock (@disable_nonboot_cpus())
cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
b) Plug-out CPUx:
cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.
There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
protect this.
Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
about it. That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
0 > cpux/online)
Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().

It seems that we have newer used the last byte in the ring buffer. In
fact, we have newer used the last 4 bytes because of padding.
First problem is in the check for free space. The exact number of free
bytes is enough to store the length of data.
Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated. The
left side counts the first unused index. It is unused, so it might be
the same as the size of the buffer.
Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second
one. Otherwise, the buffer is rotated even when there is enough space
on the end of the buffer. Then the beginning of the buffer is rewritten
and valid entries get corrupted.

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.
Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.
Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.
Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.
This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

I ran into a scenario where while one cpu was stuck and should have
panic'd because of the NMI watchdog, it didn't. The reason was another
cpu was spewing stack dumps on to the console. Upon investigation, I
noticed that when writing to the console and also when dumping the
stack, the watchdog is touched.
This causes all the cpus to reset their NMI watchdog flags and the
'stuck' cpu just spins forever.
This change causes the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog to be changed
slightly. Previously, I accidentally changed the semantics and we
noticed there was a codepath in which touch_nmi_watchdog could be
touched from a preemtible area. That caused a BUG() to happen when
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT was enabled. I believe it was the acpi code.
My attempt here re-introduces the change to have the
touch_nmi_watchdog() code only touch the local cpu instead of all of the
cpus. But instead of using __get_cpu_var(), I use the
__raw_get_cpu_var() version.
This avoids the preemption problem. However my reasoning wasn't because
I was trying to be lazy. Instead I rationalized it as, well if
preemption is enabled then interrupts should be enabled to and the NMI
watchdog will have no reason to trigger. So it won't matter if the
wrong cpu is touched because the percpu interrupt counters the NMI
watchdog uses should still be incrementing.
Don said:
: I'm ok with this patch, though it does alter the behaviour of how
: touch_nmi_watchdog works. For the most part I don't think most callers
: need to touch all of the watchdogs (on each cpu). Perhaps a corner case
: will pop up (the scheduler?? to mimic touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() ).
:
: But this does address an issue where if a system is locked up and one cpu
: is spewing out useful debug messages (or error messages), the hard lockup
: will fail to go off. We have seen this on RHEL also.

In the presence of memoryless nodes, numa_node_id() will return the
current CPU's NUMA node, but that may not be where we expect to allocate
from memory from. Instead, we should rely on the fallback code in the
memory allocator itself, by using NUMA_NO_NODE. Also, when calling
kthread_create_on_node(), use the nearest node with memory to the cpu in
question, rather than the node it is running on.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.
There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added:
Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
support under ftrace and perf.
The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions in
one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
function tracing going on in the sub buffers"

it even several weeks. There are a few relatively fresh commits in
it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.
ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.
A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
interfaces for specifying latency tolerance. That should help systems
with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.
There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
the way in which hotplug notifications are handled. They affect PCI
hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too. The bottom line
is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.
In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).
On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
have a few more optimizations in that area.
Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
all over. In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
bit more robust now.
Specifics:
- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
in some cases.
- Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
device objects. This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
(those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
during device enumeration). As a result, the code in question
becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
those changes should not affect users.
- ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
it). Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.
- Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.
- ACPI battery and AC fixes allowing unusual system configurations to
be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.

for the PCI bus type and ACPI PM domain.

to be used during system suspend and resume more easily from Ulf
Hansson.

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department proudly presents:
- Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner
of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
#include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"
- Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.
- Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.
- Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are
needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
code.
- New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
from request/free_irq.
- A few new ARM interrupt chips. No revolutionary new hardware, just
differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.
- Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit
messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in
many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM
modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on
the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket.
If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the
kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login
proceed.
Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit
subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in
the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never
worked if audit was enabled in the kernel.
BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code
would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus
by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to
reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login
untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was
a bug, but it is a bug some people expected.
With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two
bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the
non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was
configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let
users log in, now didn't!
This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init
relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken
non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or
non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit
isn't logging things. But it's what most users want.
In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net
(3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace.
So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open
on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...
