Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two lockdep fixes for bugs introduced by the cross-release dependency
tracking feature - plus a commit that disables it because performance
regressed in an absymal fashion on some systems"
* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
locking/lockdep: Disable cross-release features for now
locking/selftest: Avoid false BUG report
locking/lockdep: Fix stacktrace mess

Johan Hovold reported a big lockdep slowdown on his system, caused by lockdep:
> I had noticed that the BeagleBone Black boot time appeared to have
> increased significantly with 4.14 and yesterday I finally had time to
> investigate it.
>
> Boot time (from "Linux version" to login prompt) had in fact doubled
> since 4.13 where it took 17 seconds (with my current config) compared to
> the 35 seconds I now see with 4.14-rc4.
>
> I quick bisect pointed to lockdep and specifically the following commit:
>
> 28a903f63ec0 ("locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition of a crosslock")
Because the final v4.14 release is close, disable the cross-release lockdep
features for now.

Expand the "Runtime testing" menu by including more entries inside it
instead of after it. This is just Kconfig symbol movement.
This causes the (arch-independent) Runtime tests to be presented
(listed) all in one place instead of in multiple places.

The work-around for the expected failure is providing another failure :/
Only when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y do we increment unexpected_testcase_failures,
so only then do we need to decrement, otherwise we'll end up with a negative
number and that will again trigger a BUG (printout, not crash).

printk_ratelimit() invokes ___ratelimit() which may invoke a normal
printk() (pr_warn() in this particular case) to warn about suppressed
output. Given that printk_ratelimit() may be called from anywhere, that
pr_warn() is dangerous - it may end up deadlocking the system. Fix
___ratelimit() by using deferred printk().

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a few small fixes for 4.14-rc4.
The removal of DRIVER_ATTR() was almost completed by 4.14-rc1, but one
straggler made it in through some other tree (odds are, one of
mine...) So there's a simple removal of the last user, and then
finally the macro is removed from the tree.
There's a fix for old crazy udev instances that insist on reloading a
module when it is removed from the kernel due to the new uevents for
bind/unbind. This fixes the reported regression, hopefully some year
in the future we can drop the workaround, once users update to the
latest version, but I'm not holding my breath.
And then there's a build fix for a linker warning, and a buffer
overflow fix to match the PCI fixes you took through the PCI tree in
the same area.
All of these have been in linux-next for a few weeks while I've been
traveling, sorry for the delay"

The current udev rules cause modules to be loaded on all device events save
for "remove". With the introduction of KOBJ_BIND/KOBJ_UNBIND this causes
issues, as driver modules that have devices bound to their drivers get
immediately reloaded, and it appears to the user that module unloading doe
snot work.
The standard udev matching rule is foillowing:
ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN{builtin}+="kmod load $env{MODALIAS}"
Given that MODALIAS data is not terribly useful for UNBIND event, let's zap
it from the generated uevent environment until we get userspace updated
with the correct udev rule that only loads modules on "add" event.

Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
"Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
request.
zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.
Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
commit:
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
`silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
commands for the benchmark:
sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test
The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
The MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)
which includes the time to copy from userland.
The Adjusted MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).
The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
requests.
| Method | Size (B) | Time (s) | Ratio | MB/s | Adj MB/s | Mem (MB) |
|----------|----------|----------|-------|---------|----------|----------|
| none | 11988480 | 0.100 | 1 | 2119.88 | - | - |

| zlib -9 | 67613382 | 22.554 | 3.135 | 9.40 | 9.44 | 0.27 |
I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same
machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo
under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The
memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress
data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the
maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of
decompression irrespective of the compression level.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

IDR only supports non-negative IDs. There used to be a 'WARN_ON_ONCE(id <
0)' in idr_replace(), but it was intentionally removed by commit
2e1c9b286765 ("idr: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs").
Then it was added back by commit 0a835c4f090a ("Reimplement IDR and IDA
using the radix tree"). However it seems that adding it back was a
mistake, given that some users such as drm_gem_handle_delete()
(DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE) pass in a value from userspace to idr_replace(),
allowing the WARN_ON_ONCE to be triggered. drm_gem_handle_delete()
actually just wants idr_replace() to return an error code if the ID is
not allocated, including in the case where the ID is invalid (negative).
So once again remove the bogus WARN_ON_ONCE().
This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following

"A rework of media error handling in the BTT driver and other updates.
It has appeared in a few -next releases and collected some late-
breaking build-error and warning fixups as a result.
Summary:
- Media error handling support in the Block Translation Table (BTT)
driver is reworked to address sleeping-while-atomic locking and
memory-allocation-context conflicts.
- The dax_device lookup overhead for xfs and ext4 is moved out of the
iomap hot-path to a mount-time lookup.
- A new 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute is added to advertise the
read-modify-write boundary property of a persistent memory range.
- Preparatory fix-ups for arm and powerpc pmem support are included
along with other miscellaneous fixes"

Every for_each_XXX_cpu() invocation calls cpumask_next() which is an
inline function:
static inline unsigned int cpumask_next(int n, const struct cpumask *srcp)
{
/* -1 is a legal arg here. */
if (n != -1)
cpumask_check(n);
return find_next_bit(cpumask_bits(srcp), nr_cpumask_bits, n + 1);
}
However!
find_next_bit() is regular out-of-line function which means "nr_cpu_ids"
load and increment happen at the caller resulting in a lot of bloat
x86_64 defconfig:
add/remove: 3/0 grow/shrink: 8/373 up/down: 155/-5668 (-5513)
x86_64 allyesconfig-ish:
add/remove: 3/1 grow/shrink: 57/634 up/down: 3515/-28177 (-24662) !!!
Some archs redefine find_next_bit() but it is OK:
m68k inline but SMP is not supported
arm out-of-line
unicore32 out-of-line
Function call will happen anyway, so move load and increment into callee.

The UINT_MAX comparison is not needed because "max" is already an unsigned
int, and we expect developer C code max value input to have a sensible 0 -
UINT_MAX range. Note that if it so happens to be UINT_MAX + 1 it would
lead to an issue, but we expect the developer to know this.

for OID string
The sprint_oid() utility function doesn't properly check the buffer size
that it causes that the warning in vsnprintf() be triggered. For
example on v4.1 kernel:

...
We can trigger this issue by injecting maliciously crafted x509 cert in
DER format. Just using hex editor to change the length of OID to over
the length of the SEQUENCE container. For example:

4:d=1 hl=4 l= 700 cons: SEQUENCE
8:d=2 hl=2 l= 3 cons: cont [ 0 ]
10:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :02
13:d=2 hl=2 l= 9 prim: INTEGER :9B47FAF791E7D1E3
24:d=2 hl=2 l= 13 cons: SEQUENCE
26:d=3 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :sha256WithRSAEncryption
37:d=3 hl=2 l= 0 prim: NULL
39:d=2 hl=2 l= 121 cons: SEQUENCE
41:d=3 hl=2 l= 22 cons: SET
43:d=4 hl=2 l= 20 cons: SEQUENCE <=== the SEQ length is 20

<=== the original length is 3, change the length of OID to over the length of SEQUENCE

__radix_tree_preload() only disables preemption if no error is returned.
So we really need to make sure callers always check the return value.
idr_preload() contract is to always disable preemption, so we need
to add a missing preempt_disable() if an error happened.
Similarly, ida_pre_get() only needs to call preempt_enable() in the
case no error happened.

This is mostly to keep the number of static checker warnings down so we
can spot new bugs instead of them being drowned in noise. This function
doesn't return normal kernel error codes but instead the return value is
used to display exactly which memory failed. I chose -1 as hopefully
that's a helpful thing to print.

The macro is the compile-time analogue of bitmap_from_u64() with the same
purpose: convert the 64-bit number to the properly ordered pair of 32-bit
parts, suitable for filling the bitmap in 32-bit BE environment.
Use it to make test_bitmap_parselist() correct for 32-bit BE ABIs.

Current implementation of bitmap_parselist() uses a static variable to
save local state while setting bits in the bitmap. It is obviously wrong
if we assume execution in multiprocessor environment. Fortunately, it's
possible to rewrite this portion of code to avoid using the static
variable.
It is also possible to set bits in the mask per-range with bitmap_set(),
not per-bit, as it is implemented now, with set_bit(); which is way
faster.
The important side effect of this change is that setting bits in this
function from now is not per-bit atomic and less memory-ordered. This is
because set_bit() guarantees the order of memory accesses, while
bitmap_set() does not. I think that it is the advantage of the new
approach, because the bitmap_parselist() is intended to initialise bit
arrays, and user should protect the whole bitmap during initialisation if
needed. So protecting individual bits looks expensive and useless. Also,
other range-oriented functions in lib/bitmap.c don't worry much about
atomicity.
With all that, setting 2k bits in map with the pattern like 0-2047:128/256
becomes ~50 times faster after applying the patch in my testing
environment (arm64 hosted on qemu).
The second patch of the series adds the test for bitmap_parselist(). It's
not intended to cover all tricky cases, just to make sure that I didn't
screw up during rework.

Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary
tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first().
As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a
'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily
available. While most users will make use of this feature, those with
special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search
calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things
with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

immediately obvious from the diagrams what is going on. Add a very
brief summary of each case. Opposite cases where the node is the left
child are left untouched.

The only times the nil-parent (root node) condition is true is when the
node is the first in the tree, or after fixing rbtree rule #4 and the
case 1 rebalancing made the node the root. Such conditions do not apply
most of the time:
(i) The common case in an rbtree is to have more than a single node,
so this is only true for the first rb_insert().
(ii) While there is a chance only one first rotation is needed, cases
where the node's uncle is black (cases 2,3) are more common as we can
have the following scenarios during the rotation looping:
case1 only, case1+1, case2+3, case1+2+3, case3 only, etc.
This patch, therefore, adds an unlikely() optimization to this
conditional. When profiling with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES, a
kernel build shows that the incorrect rate is less than 15%, and for
workloads that involve insert mostly trees overtime tend to have less
than 2% incorrect rate.

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.
A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1]. The benefits of this series are that:
(i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii) Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.
This patch (of 16):
Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.
This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:
- rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
for rb_first.
- rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)
- rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)
In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.
With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.

Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4.
A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of
memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte. I first
noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an
'unsigned long' value. There turn out to be quite a few places in the
kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a
loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both. The
optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by
about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l().
Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added.
This patch (of 8):
memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte.
memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and
pointer values respectively.

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
