with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as
synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous
non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu().
There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies
the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting
to 1,000. When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the
appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain.

rcu: Remove obsolete reference to synchronize_kernel()
The synchronize_kernel() primitive was removed in favor of

therefore removes the reference from the synchronize_sched() header

rcuperf: Defer expedited/normal check to end of test
Current rcuperf startup checks to see if the user asked to measure
only expedited grace periods, yet constrained all grace periods to be
normal, or if the user asked to measure only normal grace periods, yet
constrained all grace periods to be expedited. Useless tests of this
sort are aborted.
Unfortunately, making RCU work through the mid-boot dead zone [1] puts
RCU into expedited-only mode during that zone. Which happens to also
be the exact time that rcuperf carries out the aforementioned check.
So if the user asks rcuperf to measure only normal grace periods (the
default), rcuperf will now always complain and terminate the test.
This commit therefore moves the checks to rcu_perf_cleanup(). This has
the disadvantage of failing to abort useless tests, but avoids the need to
create yet another kthread and the need to do fiddly checks involving the
holdoff time. (Yes, another approach is to do the checks in a late-stage
init function, but that would require some way to communicate badness
to rcuperf's kthreads, and seems not worth the bother.)

rcu: Complain if blocking in preemptible RCU read-side critical section
Although preemptible RCU allows its read-side critical sections to be
preempted, general blocking is forbidden. The reason for this is that
excessive preemption times can be handled by CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, but a
voluntarily blocked task doesn't care how high you boost its priority.
Because preemptible RCU is a global mechanism, one ill-behaved reader
hurts everyone. Hence the prohibition against general blocking in
RCU-preempt read-side critical sections. Preemption yes, blocking no.
This commit enforces this prohibition.
There is a special exception for the -rt patchset (which they kindly
volunteered to implement): It is OK to block (as opposed to merely being
preempted) within an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, but only if
the blocking is subject to priority inheritance. This exception permits
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y to get -rt RCU readers out of trouble.
Why doesn't this exception also apply to mainline's rt_mutex? Because
of the possibility that someone does general blocking while holding
an rt_mutex. Yes, the priority boosting will affect the rt_mutex,
but it won't help with the task doing general blocking while holding
that rt_mutex.

srcu: Eliminate possibility of destructive counter overflow
Earlier versions of Tree SRCU were subject to a counter overflow bug that
could theoretically result in too-short grace periods. This commit
eliminates this problem by adding an update-side memory barrier.
The short explanation is that if the updater sums the unlock counts
too late to see a given __srcu_read_unlock() increment, that CPU's
next __srcu_read_lock() must see the new value of ->srcu_idx, thus
incrementing the other bank of counters. This eliminates the possibility
of destructive counter overflow as long as the srcu_read_lock() nesting
level does not exceed floor(ULONG_MAX/NR_CPUS/2), which should be an
eminently reasonable nesting limit, especially on 64-bit systems.

rcu: Prevent rcu_barrier() from starting needless grace periods
Currently rcu_barrier() uses call_rcu() to enqueue new callbacks
on each CPU with a non-empty callback list. This works, but means
that rcu_barrier() forces grace periods that are not otherwise needed.
The key point is that rcu_barrier() never needs to wait for a grace
period, but instead only for all pre-existing callbacks to be invoked.
This means that rcu_barrier()'s new callbacks should be placed in
the callback-list segment containing the last pre-existing callback.

srcu: Allow use of Classic SRCU from both process and interrupt context
Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting
down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens
because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt
context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the
interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(),
updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU
->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost.
The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens
from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the
use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part,
but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is
therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively
revert commit
719d93cd5f5c ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING",
2014-01-16).
However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance
only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context
as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition,
__srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and
Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock()
is unsafe.
When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(),
in commit
5a41344a3d83 ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via
this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments.
Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in
the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most
architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use
this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in
the noise.

Unlike Classic and Tree SRCU, Tiny SRCU does increments and decrements on
a single variable. Therefore, as Peter Zijlstra pointed out, Tiny SRCU's
implementation already supports mixed-context use of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock(), at least as long as uses of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock() in each handler are nested and paired properly.
In other words, it is still illegal to (say) invoke srcu_read_lock()
in an interrupt handler and to invoke the matching srcu_read_unlock()
in a softirq handler. Therefore, the only change required for Tiny SRCU
is to its comments.

Input: axp20x-pek - switch to acpi_dev_present and check for ACPI0011 too
acpi_dev_found checks that there is a matching ACPI node, but it
may be disabled (_STA method returns 0) in which case the
soc_button_array driver will not bind to it and axp20x-pek should
handle the power-button.
This commit switches from acpi_dev_found to acpi_dev_present to
avoid not registering an input-dev for the powerbutton when there
is a disabled PNP0C40 device.
The ACPI-6.0 standard defines a standard gpio button device using
the ACPI0011 HID replacing the custom PNP0C40 gpio device, many
newer devices define both PNP0C40 and ACPI0011 devices enabling one
or the other depending on whether the BIOS thinks it is going to boot
Android or Windows.
This commit adds a check for the ACPI0011 device, so that if
either device is present *and* enabled we don't register an input-dev
for the powerbutton.

Input: axp20x-pek - only check for "INTCFD9" ACPI device on Cherry Trail
Commit
9b13a4ca8d2c ("Input: axp20x-pek - do not register input device
on some systems") added a check for the INTCFD9 ACPI device which also
handles the powerbutton as on some systems the powerbutton is connected
to both the PMIC, handled by axp20x-pek, and to a gpio on the SoC, handled
by soc_button_array which attaches itself to the INTCFD9 ACPI device.
Testing + comparing DSDTs has shown that this only happens on Cherry
Trail devices with an AXP288 PMIC, the AXP288 PMIC is also used on
Bay Trail devices but there the power button is only connected to
the PMIC and not handled by soc_button_array.
This means that the INTCFD9 check has caused a regression on Bay Trail
devices, causing power-button presses to no longer be seen.
This commit fixes this by limiting the check to devices where the ACPI
node for the AXP288 contains a _HRV (hardware revision) attribute with
a value of 3 which indicates we are dealing with a Cherry Trail platform.

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done. update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range. In this particular case we've had
Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)
so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.
Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified
KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults. KVM sets the
FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it
finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a
special case. (check_user_page_hwpoison())
When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well.
get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it
receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning
-EFAULT to the caller. The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the
FOLL_ flags is missing. The hwpoison special case is skipped, and
-EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit.
Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file
and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page().
With this, KVM works as expected.
This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled
MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86
too, so I think this should be a fix. This doesn't apply earlier than
stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup.

decrement NR_MLOCK for pages where we clear the flag, but fail to
isolate them from the lru list (e.g. when the pages are on some other

accounting gets permanently disrupted by this.
Fix it by counting the number of page whose PageMlock flag is cleared.

dax: fix race between colliding PMD & PTE entries
We currently have two related PMD vs PTE races in the DAX code. These
can both be easily triggered by having two threads reading and writing
simultaneously to the same private mapping, with the key being that
private mapping reads can be handled with PMDs but private mapping
writes are always handled with PTEs so that we can COW.
Here is the first race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(private mapping write)
__handle_mm_fault()
create_huge_pmd() - FALLBACK
handle_pte_fault()
passes check for pmd_devmap()
(private mapping read)
__handle_mm_fault()
create_huge_pmd()
dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD
dax_iomap_pte_fault() does a PTE fault, but we already have a DAX PMD
installed in our page tables at this spot.
Here's the second race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(private mapping read)
__handle_mm_fault()
passes check for pmd_none()
create_huge_pmd()
dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD
(private mapping write)
__handle_mm_fault()
create_huge_pmd() - FALLBACK
(private mapping read)
__handle_mm_fault()
passes check for pmd_none()
create_huge_pmd()
handle_pte_fault()
dax_iomap_pte_fault() inserts PTE
dax_iomap_pmd_fault() inserts PMD,
but we already have a PTE at
this spot.
The core of the issue is that while there is isolation between faults to
the same range in the DAX fault handlers via our DAX entry locking,
there is no isolation between faults in the code in mm/memory.c. This
means for instance that this code in __handle_mm_fault() can run:
if (pmd_none(*vmf.pmd) && transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma)) {
ret = create_huge_pmd(&vmf);
But by the time we actually get to run the fault handler called by
create_huge_pmd(), the PMD is no longer pmd_none() because a racing PTE
fault has installed a normal PMD here as a parent. This is the cause of
the 2nd race. The first race is similar - there is the following check
in handle_pte_fault():
} else {
/* See comment in pte_alloc_one_map() */
if (pmd_devmap(*vmf->pmd) || pmd_trans_unstable(vmf->pmd))
return 0;
So if a pmd_devmap() PMD (a DAX PMD) has been installed at vmf->pmd, we
will bail and retry the fault. This is correct, but there is nothing
preventing the PMD from being installed after this check but before we
actually get to the DAX PTE fault handlers.
In my testing these races result in the following types of errors:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:
ffff8800a817d280 idx:1 val:1
BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: 15
Fix this issue by having the DAX fault handlers verify that it is safe
to continue their fault after they have taken an entry lock to block
other racing faults.

mm: avoid spurious 'bad pmd' warning messages
When the pmd_devmap() checks were added by
5c7fb56e5e3f ("mm, dax:
dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd") to add better support for DAX huge
pages, they were all added to the end of if() statements after existing
pmd_trans_huge() checks. So, things like:
- if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd))
+ if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) || pmd_devmap(*pmd))
When further checks were added after pmd_trans_unstable() checks by
commit
7267ec008b5c ("mm: postpone page table allocation until we have
page to map") they were also added at the end of the conditional:
+ if (pmd_trans_unstable(fe->pmd) || pmd_devmap(*fe->pmd))
This ordering is fine for pmd_trans_huge(), but doesn't work for
pmd_trans_unstable(). This is because DAX huge pages trip the bad_pmd()
check inside of pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (called by
pmd_trans_unstable()), which prints out a warning and returns 1. So, we
do end up doing the right thing, but only after spamming dmesg with
suspicious looking messages:
mm/pgtable-generic.c:39: bad pmd
ffff8808daa49b88(
84000001006000a5)
Reorder these checks in a helper so that pmd_devmap() is checked first,
avoiding the error messages, and add a comment explaining why the
ordering is important.

There is a race window that the OOM reaper completes reclaiming the
first victim's memory while nothing but mutex_trylock() prevents the
first victim from calling out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory()
after memory allocation for page fault path failed due to being selected
as an OOM victim.
This is a side effect of commit
9a67f6488eca926f ("mm: consolidate
GFP_NOFAIL checks in the allocator slowpath") because that commit
silently changed the behavior from
/* Avoid allocations with no watermarks from looping endlessly */
to
/*
* Give up allocations without trying memory reserves if selected
* as an OOM victim
*/
in __alloc_pages_slowpath() by moving the location to check TIF_MEMDIE
flag. I have noticed this change but I didn't post a patch because I
thought it is an acceptable change other than noise by warn_alloc()
because !__GFP_NOFAIL allocations are allowed to fail. But we
overlooked that failing memory allocation from page fault path makes
difference due to the race window explained above.
While it might be possible to add a check to pagefault_out_of_memory()
that prevents the first victim from calling out_of_memory() or remove
out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), changing
pagefault_out_of_memory() does not suppress noise by warn_alloc() when
allocating thread was selected as an OOM victim. There is little point
with printing similar backtraces and memory information from both
out_of_memory() and warn_alloc().
Instead, if we guarantee that current thread can try allocations with no
watermarks once when current thread looping inside
__alloc_pages_slowpath() was selected as an OOM victim, we can follow "who
can use memory reserves" rules and suppress noise by warn_alloc() and
prevent memory allocations from page fault path from calling
pagefault_out_of_memory().
If we take the comment literally, this patch would do
- if (test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE))
- goto nopage;
+ if (alloc_flags == ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS || (gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
+ goto nopage;
because gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() returns false if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is
given. But if I recall correctly (I couldn't find the message), the
condition is meant to apply to only OOM victims despite the comment.
Therefore, this patch preserves TIF_MEMDIE check.

slub/memcg: cure the brainless abuse of sysfs attributes
memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions
to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created
kmem_cache. It does that with:
attr->show(root, buf);
attr->store(new, buf, strlen(bug);
Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does
not check the return value of the show() function.
Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer. That
means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content
of the previous show(). That causes nonsense like invoking
kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache. In the worst case it
would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer.
This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to
those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane
conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix.
Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling
store() with stale content is prevented.

initramfs: fix disabling of initramfs (and its compression)
Commit
db2aa7fd15e8 ("initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded
initram compression algorithm") introduced the possibility to select the
initramfs compression algorithm from Kconfig and while this is a nice
feature it broke the use case described below.
Here is what my build system does:
- kernel is initially configured not to have an initramfs included
- build the user space root file system
- re-configure the kernel to have an initramfs included
(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/path/to/romfs") and set relevant
CONFIG_INITRAMFS options, in my case, no compression option
(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE)
- kernel is re-built with these options -> kernel+initramfs image is
copied
- kernel is re-built again without these options -> kernel image is
copied
Building a kernel without an initramfs means setting this option:
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" (and this one only)
whereas building a kernel with an initramfs means setting these options:
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/romfs /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/misc/initramfs.dev"
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=1000
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=1000
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE=y
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION=""
Commit
db2aa7fd15e85 ("initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded
initram compression algorithm") is problematic because
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION which is used to determine the
initramfs_data.cpio extension/compression is a string, and due to how
Kconfig works it will evaluate in order, how to assign it.
Setting CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE with CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""
cannot possibly work (because of the depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE!=""
imposed on CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION ) yet we still get
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION assigned to ".gz" because CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y
is set in my kernel, even when there is no initramfs being built.
So we basically end-up generating two initramfs_data.cpio* files, one
without extension, and one with .gz. This causes usr/Makefile to track
usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz, and not usr/initramfs_data.cpio anymore,
that is also largely problematic after
9e3596b0c6539e ("kbuild:
initramfs cleanup, set target from Kconfig") because we used to track
all possible initramfs_data files in the $(targets) variable before that
commit.
The end result is that the kernel with an initramfs clearly does not
contain what we expect it to, it has a stale initramfs_data.cpio file
built into it, and we keep re-generating an initramfs_data.cpio.gz file
which is not the one that we want to include in the kernel image proper.
The fix consists in hiding CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION when
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="". This puts us back in a state to the
pre-4.10 behavior where we can properly disable and re-enable initramfs
within the same kernel .config file, and be in control of what
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION is set to.
