One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct objagg_stats {
...
struct objagg_obj_stats_info stats_info[];
};
size = sizeof(*objagg_stats) + sizeof(objagg_stats->stats_info[0]) * count;
instance = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, stats_info, count), GFP_KERNEL);
Notice that, in this case, variable alloc_size is not necessary, hence it
is removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull SPDX fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are just two small patches, that fix up some found SPDX
identifier issues.
The first patch fixes an error in a previous SPDX fixup patch, that
causes build errors when doing 'make clean' on the tree (the fact that
almost no one noticed it reflects the fact that kernel developers
don't like doing that option very often...)
The second patch fixes up a number of places in the tree where people
mistyped the string "SPDX-License-Identifier". Given that people can
not even type their own name all the time without mistakes, this was
bound to happen, and odds are, we will have to add some type of check
for this to checkpatch.pl to catch this happening in the future.
Both of these have passed testing by 0-day"

Prior to the adoption of SPDX, it was difficult for tools to determine
the correct license due to incomplete or badly formatted license text.
The SPDX solves this issue, assuming people can correctly spell
"SPDX-License-Identifier" although this assumption is broken in some
places.
Since scripts/spdxcheck.py parses only lines that exactly matches to
the correct tag, it cannot (should not) detect this kind of error.
If the correct tag is missing, scripts/checkpatch.pl warns like this:
WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line *
So, people should notice it before the patch submission, but in reality
broken tags sometimes slip in. The checkpatch warning is not useful for
checking the committed files globally since large number of files still
have no SPDX tag.
Also, I am not sure about the legal effect when the SPDX tag is broken.
Anyway, these typos are absolutely worth fixing. It is pretty easy to
find suspicious lines by grep.

Pull yet more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
"Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to
different kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to
parse the comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
"GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only". Only the "obvious" versions of
these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
text have been found but those have been postponed for later review
and analysis.
There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
Makefiles. This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.
These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
the patches are reviewers"

Pull documentation fixes from Jonathan Corbet:
"The Sphinx 2.0 release contained a few incompatible API changes that
broke our extensions and, thus, the documentation build in general.
Who knew that those deprecation warnings it was outputting actually
meant we should change something? This set of fixes makes the build
work again with Sphinx 2.0 and eliminates the warnings for 1.8. As
part of that, we also need a few fixes to the docs for places where
the new Sphinx is more strict.
It is a bit late in the cycle for this kind of change, but it does fix
problems that people are experiencing now.
There has been some talk of raising the minimum version of Sphinx we
support. I don't want to do that abruptly, though, so these changes
add some glue to continue to support versions back to 1.3. We will be
adding some infrastructure soon to nudge users of old versions
forward, with the idea of maybe increasing our minimum version (and
removing this glue) sometime in the future"

- SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year
ago that do not have any license information at all.
These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE()
tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the
file had a real license, or the files have been added since the
last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we
didn't touch last time.
- Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan
tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this
happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the
700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get
rid of all of these.
These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
the patches are reviewers.
The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to
progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license
tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished
in about 10 years at the earliest.
There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the
next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more
"odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with
over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD
disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole
kernel to be cleaned up.
These diffstats are not small, 3840 files are touched, over 10k lines
removed in just 24 patches"

It turned out that DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is still broken even after recent
recue efforts that when there is a large number of objects like
kmemleak_object which is normal on a debug kernel,
# grep kmemleak /proc/slabinfo
kmemleak_object 2243606 3436210 ...
reading /proc/slab_allocators could easily loop forever while processing
the kmemleak_object cache and any additional freeing or allocating
objects will trigger a reprocessing. To make a situation worse,
soft-lockups could easily happen in this sitatuion which will call
printk() to allocate more kmemleak objects to guarantee an infinite
loop.
Also, since it seems no one had noticed when it was totally broken
more than 2-year ago - see the commit fcf88917dd43 ("slab: fix a crash
by reading /proc/slab_allocators"), probably nobody cares about it
anymore due to the decline of the SLAB. Just remove it entirely.

The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU
watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports. Refer to watchdog_cpumask
and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on
these. When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than
PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get
incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set. This commit
implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a
bitmap size, as in the watchdog case. The bitmap is used to test the
bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap().
The next commit fixes this issue.

Patch series "init: Do not select DEBUG_KERNEL by default", v5.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL has been designed to just enable Kconfig options.
Kernel code generatoin should not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.
Proposed alternative plan: let's add a new symbol, something like
DEBUG_MISC ("Miscellaneous debug code that should be under a more
specific debug option but isn't"), make it depend on DEBUG_KERNEL and be
"default DEBUG_KERNEL" but allow itself to be turned off, and then
mechanically change the small handful of "#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL" to
"#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_MISC".

Patch series "lib: rework bitmap_parselist and tests", v5.
bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and
now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a
set of opaque-named variables.
Things are more complicated because bitmap_parselist() is a part of user
interface, and its behavior should not change.
In this patchset
- bitmap_parselist_user() made a wrapper on bitmap_parselist();
- bitmap_parselist() reworked (patch 2);
- time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get
(patch 3);
- new tests introduced (patch 4), and
- bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as
bitmap_parselist() (patch 5).
This patch (of 5):
Currently we parse user data byte after byte which leads to
overcomplification of parsing algorithm. The only user of
bitmap_parselist_user() is not performance-critical, and so we can
duplicate user data to kernel buffer and simply call bitmap_parselist().
This rework lets us unify and simplify bitmap_parselist() and
bitmap_parselist_user(), which is done in the following patch.

CONFIG_RETPOLINE has severely degraded indirect function call
performance, so it's worth putting some effort into reducing the number
of times cmp() is called.
This patch avoids badly unbalanced merges on unlucky input sizes. It
slightly increases the code size, but saves an average of 0.2*n calls to
cmp().
x86-64 code size 739 -> 803 bytes (+64)
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of low-hanging fruit in a merge sort;
it already performs only n*log2(n) - K*n + O(1) compares. The leading
coefficient is already at the theoretical limit (log2(n!) corresponds to
K=1.4427), so we're fighting over the linear term, and the best
mergesort can do is K=1.2645, achieved when n is a power of 2.
The differences between mergesort variants appear when n is *not* a
power of 2; K is a function of the fractional part of log2(n). Top-down
mergesort does best of all, achieving a minimum K=1.2408, and an average
(over all sizes) K=1.248. However, that requires knowing the number of
entries to be sorted ahead of time, and making a full pass over the
input to count it conflicts with a second performance goal, which is
cache blocking.
Obviously, we have to read the entire list into L1 cache at some point,
and performance is best if it fits. But if it doesn't fit, each full
pass over the input causes a cache miss per element, which is
undesirable.
While textbooks explain bottom-up mergesort as a succession of merging
passes, practical implementations do merging in depth-first order: as
soon as two lists of the same size are available, they are merged. This
allows as many merge passes as possible to fit into L1; only the final
few merges force cache misses.
This cache-friendly depth-first merge order depends on us merging the
beginning of the input as much as possible before we've even seen the
end of the input (and thus know its size).
The simple eager merge pattern causes bad performance when n is just
over a power of 2. If n=1028, the final merge is between 1024- and
4-element lists, which is wasteful of comparisons. (This is actually
worse on average than n=1025, because a 1204:1 merge will, on average,
end after 512 compares, while 1024:4 will walk 4/5 of the list.)
Because of this, bottom-up mergesort achieves K < 0.5 for such sizes,
and has an average (over all sizes) K of around 1. (My experiments show
K=1.01, while theory predicts K=0.965.)
There are "worst-case optimal" variants of bottom-up mergesort which
avoid this bad performance, but the algorithms given in the literature,
such as queue-mergesort and boustrodephonic mergesort, depend on the
breadth-first multi-pass structure that we are trying to avoid.
This implementation is as eager as possible while ensuring that all
merge passes are at worst 1:2 unbalanced. This achieves the same
average K=1.207 as queue-mergesort, which is 0.2*n better then
bottom-up, and only 0.04*n behind top-down mergesort.
Specifically, defers merging two lists of size 2^k until it is known
that there are 2^k additional inputs following. This ensures that the
final uneven merges triggered by reaching the end of the input will be
at worst 2:1. This will avoid cache misses as long as 3*2^k elements
fit into the cache.
(I confess to being more than a little bit proud of how clean this code
turned out. It took a lot of thinking, but the resultant inner loop is
very simple and efficient.)

Rather than a fixed-size array of pending sorted runs, use the ->prev
links to keep track of things. This reduces stack usage, eliminates
some ugly overflow handling, and reduces the code size.
Also:
* merge() no longer needs to handle NULL inputs, so simplify.
* The same applies to merge_and_restore_back_links(), which is renamed
to the less ponderous merge_final(). (It's a static helper function,
so we don't need a super-descriptive name; comments will do.)
* Document the actual return value requirements on the (*cmp)()
function; some callers are already using this feature.

Similar to what's being done in the net code, this takes advantage of
the fact that most invocations use only a few common swap functions, and
replaces indirect calls to them with (highly predictable) conditional
branches. (The downside, of course, is that if you *do* use a custom
swap function, there are a few extra predicted branches on the code
path.)
This actually *shrinks* the x86-64 code, because it inlines the various
swap functions inside do_swap, eliding function prologues & epilogues.

This uses fewer comparisons than the previous code (approaching half as
many for large random inputs), but produces identical results; it
actually performs the exact same series of swap operations.
Specifically, it reduces the average number of compares from
2*n*log2(n) - 3*n + o(n)
to
n*log2(n) + 0.37*n + o(n).
This is still 1.63*n worse than glibc qsort() which manages n*log2(n) -
1.26*n, but at least the leading coefficient is correct.
Standard heapsort, when sifting down, performs two comparisons per
level: one to find the greater child, and a second to see if the current
node should be exchanged with that child.
Bottom-up heapsort observes that it's better to postpone the second
comparison and search for the leaf where -infinity would be sent to,
then search back *up* for the current node's destination.
Since sifting down usually proceeds to the leaf level (that's where half
the nodes are), this does O(1) second comparisons rather than log2(n).
That saves a lot of (expensive since Spectre) indirect function calls.
The one time it's worse than the previous code is if there are large
numbers of duplicate keys, when the top-down algorithm is O(n) and
bottom-up is O(n log n). For distinct keys, it's provably always
better, doing 1.5*n*log2(n) + O(n) in the worst case.
(The code is not significantly more complex. This patch also merges the
heap-building and -extracting sift-down loops, resulting in a net code
size savings.)
x86-64 code size 885 -> 767 bytes (-118)
(I see the checkpatch complaint about "else if (n -= size)". The
alternative is significantly uglier.)

Patch series "lib/sort & lib/list_sort: faster and smaller", v2.
Because CONFIG_RETPOLINE has made indirect calls much more expensive, I
thought I'd try to reduce the number made by the library sort functions.
The first three patches apply to lib/sort.c.
Patch #1 is a simple optimization. The built-in swap has special cases
for aligned 4- and 8-byte objects. But those are almost never used;
most calls to sort() work on larger structures, which fall back to the
byte-at-a-time loop. This generalizes them to aligned *multiples* of 4
and 8 bytes. (If nothing else, it saves an awful lot of energy by not
thrashing the store buffers as much.)
Patch #2 grabs a juicy piece of low-hanging fruit. I agree that nice
simple solid heapsort is preferable to more complex algorithms (sorry,
Andrey), but it's possible to implement heapsort with far fewer
comparisons (50% asymptotically, 25-40% reduction for realistic sizes)
than the way it's been done up to now. And with some care, the code
ends up smaller, as well. This is the "big win" patch.
Patch #3 adds the same sort of indirect call bypass that has been added
to the net code of late. The great majority of the callers use the
builtin swap functions, so replace the indirect call to sort_func with a
(highly preditable) series of if() statements. Rather surprisingly,
this decreased code size, as the swap functions were inlined and their
prologue & epilogue code eliminated.
lib/list_sort.c is a bit trickier, as merge sort is already close to
optimal, and we don't want to introduce triumphs of theory over
practicality like the Ford-Johnson merge-insertion sort.
Patch #4, without changing the algorithm, chops 32% off the code size
and removes the part[MAX_LIST_LENGTH+1] pointer array (and the
corresponding upper limit on efficiently sortable input size).
Patch #5 improves the algorithm. The previous code is already optimal
for power-of-two (or slightly smaller) size inputs, but when the input
size is just over a power of 2, there's a very unbalanced final merge.
There are, in the literature, several algorithms which solve this, but
they all depend on the "breadth-first" merge order which was replaced by
commit 835cc0c8477f with a more cache-friendly "depth-first" order.
Some hard thinking came up with a depth-first algorithm which defers
merges as little as possible while avoiding bad merges. This saves
0.2*n compares, averaged over all sizes.
The code size increase is minimal (64 bytes on x86-64, reducing the net
savings to 26%), but the comments expanded significantly to document the
clever algorithm.
TESTING NOTES: I have some ugly user-space benchmarking code which I
used for testing before moving this code into the kernel. Shout if you
want a copy.
I'm running this code right now, with CONFIG_TEST_SORT and
CONFIG_TEST_LIST_SORT, but I confess I haven't rebooted since the last
round of minor edits to quell checkpatch. I figure there will be at
least one round of comments and final testing.
This patch (of 5):
Rather than having special-case swap functions for 4- and 8-byte
objects, special-case aligned multiples of 4 or 8 bytes. This speeds up
most users of sort() by avoiding fallback to the byte copy loop.
Despite what ca96ab859ab4 ("lib/sort: Add 64 bit swap function") claims,
very few users of sort() sort pointers (or pointer-sized objects); most
sort structures containing at least two words. (E.g.
drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps() sorts an array of 40-byte struct
acpi_fan_fps.)
The functions also got renamed to reflect the fact that they support
multiple words. In the great tradition of bikeshedding, the names were
by far the most contentious issue during review of this patch series.
x86-64 code size 872 -> 886 bytes (+14)
