9199873 Masahiro Yamada 03 January 2019, 01:10:38 UTC kbuild: generate asm-generic wrappers if mandatory headers are missing Some time ago, Sam pointed out a certain degree of overwrap between generic-y and mandatory-y. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/10/121) I tweaked the meaning of mandatory-y a little bit; now it defines the minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have. If arch does not have specific implementation of a mandatory header, Kbuild will let it fallback to the asm-generic one by automatically generating a wrapper. This will allow to drop lots of redundant generic-y defines. Previously, "mandatory" was used in the context of UAPI, but I guess this can be extended to kernel space ASM headers.

d4ce545 Masahiro Yamada 03 January 2019, 01:10:37 UTC arch: remove stale comments "UAPI Header export list" These comments are leftovers of commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all headers under uapi directories"). Prior to that commit, exported headers must be explicitly added to header-y. Now, all headers under the uapi/ directories are exported.

8c4fa8b Masahiro Yamada 03 January 2019, 01:10:36 UTC riscv: remove redundant kernel-space generic-y This commit removes redundant generic-y defines in arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild. [1] It is redundant to define the same generic-y in both arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild and arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild. Remove the following generic-y: errno.h fcntl.h ioctl.h ioctls.h ipcbuf.h mman.h msgbuf.h param.h poll.h posix_types.h resource.h sembuf.h setup.h shmbuf.h signal.h socket.h sockios.h stat.h statfs.h swab.h termbits.h termios.h types.h [2] It is redundant to define generic-y when arch-specific implementation exists in arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/*.h Remove the following generic-y: cacheflush.h module.h Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> 06 January 2019, 00:46:51 UTC
ad77408 Masahiro Yamada 31 December 2018, 08:24:09 UTC kbuild: change filechk to surround the given command with { } filechk_* rules often consist of multiple 'echo' lines. They must be surrounded with { } or ( ) to work correctly. Otherwise, only the string from the last 'echo' would be written into the target. Let's take care of that in the 'filechk' in scripts/Kbuild.include to clean up filechk_* rules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> 06 January 2019, 00:46:51 UTC

e9666d1 Masahiro Yamada 30 December 2018, 15:14:15 UTC jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label". The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined like this: #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL #endif We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO. Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will match to the real kernel capability.

72d3ebb Mathias Krause 30 December 2018, 12:36:00 UTC kallsyms: lower alignment on ARM As mentioned in the info pages of gas, the '.align' pseudo op's interpretation of the alignment value is architecture specific. It might either be a byte value or taken to the power of two. On ARM it's actually the latter which leads to unnecessary large alignments of 16 bytes for 32 bit builds or 256 bytes for 64 bit builds. Fix this by switching to '.balign' instead which is consistent across all architectures.

170d13c Linus Torvalds 05 January 2019, 01:52:49 UTC x86: re-introduce non-generic memcpy_{to,from}io This has been broken forever, and nobody ever really noticed because it's purely a performance issue. Long long ago, in commit 6175ddf06b61 ("x86: Clean up mem*io functions") Brian Gerst simplified the memory copies to and from iomem, since on x86, the instructions to access iomem are exactly the same as the regular instructions. That is technically true, and things worked, and nobody said anything. Besides, back then the regular memcpy was pretty simple and worked fine. Nobody noticed except for David Laight, that is. David has a testing a TLP monitor he was writing for an FPGA, and has been occasionally complaining about how memcpy_toio() writes things one byte at a time. Which is completely unacceptable from a performance standpoint, even if it happens to technically work. The reason it's writing one byte at a time is because while it's technically true that accesses to iomem are the same as accesses to regular memory on x86, the _granularity_ (and ordering) of accesses matter to iomem in ways that they don't matter to regular cached memory. In particular, when ERMS is set, we default to using "rep movsb" for larger memory copies. That is indeed perfectly fine for real memory, since the whole point is that the CPU is going to do cacheline optimizations and executes the memory copy efficiently for cached memory. With iomem? Not so much. With iomem, "rep movsb" will indeed work, but it will copy things one byte at a time. Slowly and ponderously. Now, originally, back in 2010 when commit 6175ddf06b61 was done, we didn't use ERMS, and this was much less noticeable. Our normal memcpy() was simpler in other ways too. Because in fact, it's not just about using the string instructions. Our memcpy() these days does things like "read and write overlapping values" to handle the last bytes of the copy. Again, for normal memory, overlapping accesses isn't an issue. For iomem? It can be. So this re-introduces the specialized memcpy_toio(), memcpy_fromio() and memset_io() functions. It doesn't particularly optimize them, but it tries to at least not be horrid, or do overlapping accesses. In fact, this uses the existing __inline_memcpy() function that we still had lying around that uses our very traditional "rep movsl" loop followed by movsw/movsb for the final bytes. Somebody may decide to try to improve on it, but if we've gone almost a decade with only one person really ever noticing and complaining, maybe it's not worth worrying about further, once it's not _completely_ broken?

a959dc8 Linus Torvalds 22 May 2016, 04:55:19 UTC Use __put_user_goto in __put_user_size() and unsafe_put_user() This actually enables the __put_user_goto() functionality in unsafe_put_user(). For an example of the effect of this, this is the code generated for the unsafe_put_user(signo, &infop->si_signo, Efault); in the waitid() system call: movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_2] It's just one single store instruction, along with generating an exception table entry pointing to the Efault label case in case that instruction faults. Before, we would generate this: xorl %edx, %edx movl %ecx,(%rbx) # signo, MEM[(struct __large_struct *)_3] testl %edx, %edx jne .L309 with the exception table generated for that 'mov' instruction causing us to jump to a stub that set %edx to -EFAULT and then jumped back to the 'testl' instruction. So not only do we now get rid of the extra code in the normal sequence, we also avoid unnecessarily keeping that extra error register live across it all.

4a78921 Linus Torvalds 22 May 2016, 04:44:51 UTC x86 uaccess: Introduce __put_user_goto This is finally the actual reason for the odd error handling in the "unsafe_get/put_user()" functions, introduced over three years ago. Using a "jump to error label" interface is somewhat odd, but very convenient as a programming interface, and more importantly, it fits very well with simply making the target be the exception handler address directly from the inline asm. The reason it took over three years to actually do this? We need "asm goto" support for it, which only became the default on x86 last year. It's now been a year that we've forced asm goto support (see commit e501ce957a78 "x86: Force asm-goto"), and so let's just do it here too. [ Side note: this commit was originally done back in 2016. The above commentary about timing is obviously about it only now getting merged into my real upstream tree - Linus ] Sadly, gcc still only supports "asm goto" with asms that do not have any outputs, so we are limited to only the put_user case for this. Maybe in several more years we can do the get_user case too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 05 January 2019, 02:00:49 UTC

The problem is, that for such machines the parisc kernel automatically utilizes huge pages to access kernel text code, but the set_kernel_text_rw() function, which is used shortly before applying any alternative patches, didn't used the correctly hugepage-aligned addresses to remap the kernel text read-writeable.

2c91bd4 Joel Fernandes (Google) 03 January 2019, 23:28:38 UTC mm: speed up mremap by 20x on large regions Android needs to mremap large regions of memory during memory management related operations. The mremap system call can be really slow if THP is not enabled. The bottleneck is move_page_tables, which is copying each pte at a time, and can be really slow across a large map. Turning on THP may not be a viable option, and is not for us. This patch speeds up the performance for non-THP system by copying at the PMD level when possible. The speedup is an order of magnitude on x86 (~20x). On a 1GB mremap, the mremap completion times drops from 3.4-3.6 milliseconds to 144-160 microseconds. Before: Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3521942 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3449229 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3488230 nanoseconds. After: Total mremap time for 1GB data: 150279 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 144665 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 158708 nanoseconds. If THP is enabled the optimization is mostly skipped except in certain situations.

4cf5892 Joel Fernandes (Google) 03 January 2019, 23:28:34 UTC mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions Patch series "Add support for fast mremap". This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra 'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization. Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more testing. The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script. (thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!). Following fix ups were done manually: * Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc * Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze. // Options: --include-headers --no-includes // Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually // running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you. virtual patch @pte_alloc_func_def depends on patch exists@ identifier E2; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; type T2; @@ fn(... - , T2 E2 ) { ... } @pte_alloc_func_proto_noarg depends on patch exists@ type T1, T2, T3, T4; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ ( - T3 fn(T1, T2); + T3 fn(T1); | - T3 fn(T1, T2, T4); + T3 fn(T1, T2); ) @pte_alloc_func_proto depends on patch exists@ identifier E1, E2, E4; type T1, T2, T3, T4; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ ( - T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2); + T3 fn(T1 E1); | - T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2, T4 E4); + T3 fn(T1 E1, T2 E2); ) @pte_alloc_func_call depends on patch exists@ expression E2; identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; @@ fn(... -, E2 ) @pte_alloc_macro depends on patch exists@ identifier fn =~ "^(__pte_alloc|pte_alloc_one|pte_alloc|__pte_alloc_kernel|pte_alloc_one_kernel)$"; identifier a, b, c; expression e; position p; @@ ( - #define fn(a, b, c) e + #define fn(a, b) e | - #define fn(a, b) e + #define fn(a) e ) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181108181201.88826-2-joelaf@google.com Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Suggested-by: Kirill A.

This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load.

The check is unnecessary in all cases except for ioctl usage so placing the check in the super block accessor function adds a small overhead to the common case where it isn't needed. So it's sufficient to do this in the ioctl code only. Also the check in the ioctl code is needlessly complex.

c5a282e Davidlohr Bueso 03 January 2019, 23:27:15 UTC fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait() This patch aims at reducing ep wq.lock hold times in epoll_wait(2). For the blocking case, there is no need to constantly take and drop the spinlock, which is only needed to manipulate the waitqueue. The call to ep_events_available() is now lockless, and only exposed to benign races. Here, if false positive (returns available events and does not see another thread deleting an epi from the list) we call into send_events and then the list's state is correctly seen. Otoh, if a false negative and we don't see a list_add_tail(), for example, from irq callback, then it is rechecked again before blocking, which will see the correct state. In order for more accuracy to see concurrent list_del_init(), use the list_empty_careful() variant -- of course, this won't be safe against insertions from wakeup. For the overflow list we obviously need to prevent load/store tearing as we don't want to see partial values while the ready list is disabled.

76699a6 Davidlohr Bueso 03 January 2019, 23:27:09 UTC fs/epoll: drop ovflist branch prediction The ep->ovflist is a secondary ready-list to temporarily store events that might occur when doing sproc without holding the ep->wq.lock. This accounts for every time we check for ready events and also send events back to userspace; both callbacks, particularly the latter because of copy_to_user, can account for a non-trivial time. As such, the unlikely() check to see if the pointer is being used, seems both misleading and sub-optimal. In fact, we go to an awful lot of trouble to sync both lists, and populating the ovflist is far from an uncommon scenario. For example, profiling a concurrent epoll_wait(2) benchmark, with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES shows that for a two threads a 33% incorrect rate was seen; and when incrementally increasing the number of epoll instances (which is used, for example for multiple queuing load balancing models), up to a 90% incorrect rate was seen. Similarly, by deleting the prediction, 3% throughput boost was seen across incremental threads.

The following are some incremental optimizations on some of the epoll core. Each patch has the details, but together, the series is seen to shave off measurable cycles on a number of systems and workloads. For example, on a 40-core IB, a pipetest as well as parallel epoll_wait() benchmark show around a 20-30% increase in raw operations per second when the box is fully occupied (incremental thread counts), and up to 15% performance improvement with lower counts.

52fbf11 Alexey Skidanov 03 January 2019, 23:26:44 UTC lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing different allocation algorithms. With gen_pool_first_fit_align() allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the requested boundary. If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the returned address isn't aligned too. The only way to get properly aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the requested boundary. If want to have an ability to allocate buffers aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment. This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address alignment. To fix this, we provide chunk start address to gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset (exactly as is done in CMA).

527edbc Masahiro Yamada 03 January 2019, 23:26:23 UTC build_bug.h: remove most of dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs for Sparse The introduction of these dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs dates back to commmit 903c0c7cdc21 ("sparse: define dummy BUILD_BUG_ON definition for sparse"). At that time, BUILD_BUG_ON() was implemented with the negative array trick *and* the link-time trick, like this: extern int __build_bug_on_failed; #define BUILD_BUG_ON(condition) \ do { \ ((void)sizeof(char[1 - 2*!!(condition)])); \ if (condition) __build_bug_on_failed = 1; \ } while(0) Sparse is more strict about the negative array trick than GCC because Sparse requires the array length to be really constant. Here is the simple test code for the macro above: static const int x = 0; BUILD_BUG_ON(x); GCC is absolutely fine with it (-Wvla was enabled only very recently), but Sparse warns like this: error: bad constant expression error: cannot size expression (If you are using a newer version of Sparse, you will see a different warning message, "warning: Variable length array is used".) Anyway, Sparse was producing many false positives, and noisier than it should be at that time. With the previous commit, the leftover negative array trick is gone. Sparse is fine with the current BUILD_BUG_ON(), which is implemented by using the 'error' attribute. I am keeping the stub for BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(). Otherwise, Sparse would complain about the following code, which GCC is fine with: static const int x = 0; int y = BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(x); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542856462-18836-3-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 04 January 2019, 21:13:45 UTC
c60d3b7 Masahiro Yamada 03 January 2019, 23:26:20 UTC build_bug.h: remove negative-array fallback for BUILD_BUG_ON() The kernel can only be compiled with an optimization option (-O2, -Os, or the currently proposed -Og). Hence, __OPTIMIZE__ is always defined in the kernel source. The fallback for the -O0 case is just hypothetical and pointless. Moreover, commit 0bb95f80a38f ("Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning") enabled -Wvla warning. The use of variable length arrays is banned.

09be178 Cheng Lin 03 January 2019, 23:26:13 UTC proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax() If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an EINVAL error will be returned. For example, we use proc_doulongvec_minmax to pass up to two parameters with kern_table: { .procname = "monitor_signals", .data = &monitor_sigs, .maxlen = 2*sizeof(unsigned long), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = proc_doulongvec_minmax, }, Reproduce: When passing two parameters, it's work normal. But passing only one parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# The following is the result after apply this patch. No error is returned when the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 0 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# There are three processing functions dealing with digital parameters, __do_proc_dointvec/__do_proc_douintvec/__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as __do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'. In __do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support multiple inputs. static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){ ... /* * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add * support for them. */ if (vleft != 1) { *lenp = 0; return -EINVAL; } ... } So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem. And most use of proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one parameter.

594cc25 Linus Torvalds 04 January 2019, 20:56:09 UTC make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()' Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok() separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the direct (optimized) user access. But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok() at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or similar. Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has actually been range-checked. If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin(). But nothing really forces the range check. By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible near the actual accesses. We have way too long a history of people trying to avoid them. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 04 January 2019, 20:56:09 UTC
