2019-05-16slab: remove /proc/slab_allocatorsQian Cai
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.

2019-05-16rhashtable: Remove RCU marking from rhash_lock_headHerbert Xu
The opaque type rhash_lock_head should not be marked with __rcu because it can never be dereferenced. We should apply the RCU marking when we turn it into a pointer which can be dereferenced.

2019-05-14tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: add proc_do_large_bitmap() test caseEric Sandeen
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.

2019-05-14lib: make bitmap_parselist_user() a wrapper on bitmap_parselist()Yury Norov
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.

2019-05-14lib/list_sort: optimize number of calls to comparison functionGeorge Spelvin
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.)

2019-05-14lib/list_sort: simplify and remove MAX_LIST_LENGTH_BITSGeorge Spelvin
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. x86-64 code size 1086 -> 739 bytes (-347) (Yes, I see checkpatch complaining about no space after comma in "__attribute__((nonnull(2,3,4,5)))".

2019-05-14lib/sort: avoid indirect calls to built-in swapGeorge Spelvin
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. x86-64 code size 767 -> 703 bytes (-64) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d10c5d4b393a1847f32f5b26f4bbaa2857140e1e.1552704200.git.lkml@sdf.org Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <lkml@sdf.org> Acked-by: Andrey Abramov <st5pub@yandex.ru> Acked-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@siemens.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Don Mullis <don.mullis@gmail.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.)

2019-05-14lib/sort: make swap functions more genericGeorge Spelvin
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) With feedback from Andy Shevchenko, Rasmus Villemoes and Geert Uytterhoeven.

2019-05-14compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLININGMasahiro Yamada
Commit 60a3cdd06394 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86. The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures can benefit from it. This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled. For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1. dec file 18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before 18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as e61aca5158a8 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested; this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

2019-05-14mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool'Ira Weiny
To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the singular write parameter to be gup_flags. This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will follow in subsequent patches. Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter. NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast() arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

2019-05-10vsprintf: Do not break early boot with probing addressesPetr Mladek
The commit 3e5903eb9cff70730 ("vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers") broke boot on several architectures. The common pattern is that probe_kernel_read() is not working during early boot because userspace access framework is not ready. It is a generic problem. We have to avoid any complex external functions in vsprintf() code, especially in the common path. They might break printk() easily and are hard to debug. Replace probe_kernel_read() with some simple checks for obvious problems. Details: 1. Report on Power: Kernel crashes very early during boot with with CONFIG_PPC_KUAP and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG The problem is the combination of some new code called via printk(), check_pointer() which calls probe_kernel_read(). That then calls allow_user_access() (PPC_KUAP) and that uses mmu_has_feature() too early (before we've patched features). With the JUMP_LABEL debug enabled that causes us to call printk() & dump_stack() and we end up recursing and overflowing the stack. Because it happens so early you don't get any output, just an apparently dead system. The stack trace (which you don't see) is something like: ... dump_stack+0xdc probe_kernel_read+0x1a4 check_pointer+0x58 string+0x3c vsnprintf+0x1bc vscnprintf+0x20 printk_safe_log_store+0x7c printk+0x40 dump_stack_print_info+0xbc dump_stack+0x8 probe_kernel_read+0x1a4 probe_kernel_read+0x19c check_pointer+0x58 string+0x3c vsnprintf+0x1bc vscnprintf+0x20 vprintk_store+0x6c vprintk_emit+0xec vprintk_func+0xd4 printk+0x40 cpufeatures_process_feature+0xc8 scan_cpufeatures_subnodes+0x380 of_scan_flat_dt_subnodes+0xb4 dt_cpu_ftrs_scan_callback+0x158 of_scan_flat_dt+0xf0 dt_cpu_ftrs_scan+0x3c early_init_devtree+0x360 early_setup+0x9c 2. Report on s390: vsnprintf invocations, are broken on s390. For example, the early boot output now looks like this where the first (efault) should be the linux_banner: [ 0.099985] (efault) [ 0.099985] setup: Linux is running as a z/VM guest operating system in 64-bit mode [ 0.100066] setup: The maximum memory size is 8192MB [ 0.100070] cma: Reserved 4 MiB at (efault) [ 0.100100] numa: NUMA mode: (efault) The reason for this, is that the code assumes that probe_kernel_address() works very early. This however is not true on at least s390. Uaccess on KERNEL_DS works only after page tables have been setup on s390, which happens with setup_arch()->paging_init(). Any probe_kernel_address() invocation before that will return -EFAULT.

This is part of the ongoing efforts to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough. Most of them have been baking in linux-next for a whole development cycle. And with Stephen Rothwell's help, we've had linux-next nag-emails going out for newly introduced code that triggers -Wimplicit-fallthrough to avoid gaining more of these cases while we work to remove the ones that are already present. We are getting close to completing this work. Currently, there are only 32 of 2311 of these cases left to be addressed in linux-next. I'm auditing every case; I take a look into the code and analyze it in order to determine if I'm dealing with an actual bug or a false positive, as explained here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c2fad584-1705-a5f2-d63c-824e9b96cf50@embeddedor.com/ While working on this, I've found and fixed the several missing break/return bugs, some of them introduced more than 5 years ago.

In fact if embedded into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage overhead for no benefit. Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on stack, global or embedded into some other data structure. Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for nothing and does not have functional impact. Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do, do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or unconditionally. The following series cleans that up by: 1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code 2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites 3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace and stackdepot. 4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related cleanups. 5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic code'" * 'core-stacktrace-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/stacktrace: Use common infrastructure stacktrace: Provide common infrastructure lib/stackdepot: Remove obsolete functions stacktrace: Remove obsolete functions livepatch: Simplify stack trace retrieval tracing: Remove the last struct stack_trace usage tracing: Simplify stack trace retrieval tracing: Make ftrace_trace_userstack() static and conditional tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently tracing: Simplify stacktrace retrieval in histograms lockdep: Simplify stack trace handling lockdep: Remove save argument from check_prev_add() lockdep: Remove unused trace argument from print_circular_bug() drm: Simplify stacktrace handling dm persistent data: Simplify stack trace handling dm bufio: Simplify stack trace retrieval btrfs: ref-verify: Simplify stack trace retrieval dma/debug: Simplify stracktrace retrieval fault-inject: Simplify stacktrace retrieval mm/page_owner: Simplify stack trace handling ...

As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted are: - call to %s() with DF set - return with DF set - return with modified stack frame - recursive STD - redundant CLD It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.
