2019-01-04x86: re-introduce non-generic memcpy_{to,from}ioLinus Torvalds4-18/+51
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?

2019-01-04Use __put_user_goto in __put_user_size() and unsafe_put_user()Linus Torvalds1-31/+22
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.

2019-01-04x86 uaccess: Introduce __put_user_gotoLinus Torvalds1-11/+17
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>
2019-01-04mm/page_io.c: fix polled swap page inJens Axboe1-1/+3
swap_readpage() wants to do polling to bring in pages if asked to, but it doesn't mark the bio as being polled. Additionally, the looping around the blk_poll() check isn't correct - if we get a zero return, we should call io_schedule(), we can't just assume that the bio has completed. The regular bio->bi_private check should be used for that.

2019-01-04mm: speed up mremap by 20x on large regionsJoel Fernandes (Google)2-0/+69
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.

2019-01-04mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functionsJoel Fernandes (Google)44-151/+101
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.

Since __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 is marked as notrace, the function called from __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 shouldn't be traceable either. ftrace_graph_caller() gets called every time func write_comp_data() gets called if it isn't marked 'notrace'. This is the backtrace from gdb: #0 ftrace_graph_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:179 #1 0xffffff8010201920 in ftrace_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:151 #2 0xffffff8010439714 in write_comp_data (type=5, arg1=0, arg2=0, ip=18446743524224276596) at ../kernel/kcov.c:116 #3 0xffffff8010439894 in __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 (arg1=<optimized out>, arg2=<optimized out>) at ../kernel/kcov.c:188 #4 0xffffff8010201874 in prepare_ftrace_return (self_addr=18446743524226602768, parent=0xffffff801014b918, frame_pointer=18446743524223531344) at ./include/generated/atomic-instrumented.h:27 #5 0xffffff801020194c in ftrace_graph_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:182 Rework so that write_comp_data() that are called from __sanitizer_cov_trace_*_cmp*() are marked as 'notrace'.

MAX_FAT is useless in msdos_fs.h, since it uses the MSDOS_SB function that is defined in fat.h. So really, this macro can be only called from code that already includes fat.h. Hence, this patch moves it to fat.h, right after MSDOS_SB is defined. I also changed it to an inline function in order to save the double call to MSDOS_SB. This was suggested by joe@perches.com in the previous version. This patch is required for the next in the series, in which the variant (whether this is FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32) checks are replaced with new macros.

The comment edited in this patch was the only reference to the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro, which is not used anymore. Moreover, the commented line of code does not compile with the current code.

2019-01-04include/uapi/linux/msdos_fs.h: use MSDOS_NAME for volume label sizeCarmeli Tamir1-2/+2
The FAT file system volume label file stored in the root directory should match the volume label field in the FAT boot sector. As consequence, the max length of these fields ought to be the same.

2019-01-04autofs: add strictexpire mount optionIan Kent4-3/+13
Commit 092a53452bb7 ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk") helped to (partially) resolve a problem where automounts were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space. 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. But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk access).

Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit 0633da48f0 ("fix autofs_sbi() does not check super block type"). 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.

2019-01-04fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()Davidlohr Bueso1-54/+60
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.

2019-01-04fs/epoll: drop ovflist branch predictionDavidlohr Bueso1-1/+1
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 current logic is a bit convoluted. Lets simplify this with a standard list_for_each_entry_safe() loop instead and just break out after maxevents is reached. While at it, remove an unnecessary indentation level in the loop when there are in fact ready events.

2019-01-04fs/epoll: remove max_nests argument from ep_call_nested()Davidlohr Bueso1-8/+6
Patch series "epoll: some miscellaneous optimizations". 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. Passes ltp epoll related testcases. This patch(of 6): All callers pass the EP_MAX_NESTS constant already, so lets simplify this a tad and get rid of the redundant parameter for nested eventpolls.

2019-01-04checkpatch: warn on const char foo[] = "bar"; declarationsJoe Perches1-2/+11
These declarations should generally be static const to avoid poor compilation and runtime performance where compilers tend to initialize the const declaration for every call instead of using .rodata for the string. Miscellanea: - Convert spaces to tabs for indentation in 2 adjacent checks Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/10ea5f4b087dc911e41e187a4a2b5e79c7529aa3.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2019-01-04lib/genalloc.c: use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmapHuang Shijie1-2/+2
Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G. In some cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of the memory buddy system (4K default). So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap. Also use vfree to free it.

2019-01-04lib/find_bit_benchmark.c: align test_find_next_and_bit with othersYury Norov1-6/+5
Contrary to other tests, test_find_next_and_bit() test uses tab formatting in output and get_cycles() instead of ktime_get(). get_cycles() is not supported by some arches, so ktime_get() fits better in generic code. Fix it and minor style issues, so the output looks like this: Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap find_next_bit: 7142816 ns, 163282 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 8545712 ns, 164399 iterations find_last_bit: 6332032 ns, 163282 iterations find_first_bit: 20509424 ns, 16606 iterations find_next_and_bit: 4060016 ns, 73424 iterations Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap find_next_bit: 55984 ns, 656 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 19197536 ns, 327025 iterations find_last_bit: 65088 ns, 656 iterations find_first_bit: 5923712 ns, 656 iterations find_next_and_bit: 29088 ns, 1 iterations Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181123174803.10916-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com Signed-off-by: Yury Norov <ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Norov, Yuri" <Yuri.Norov@cavium.com> Cc: Clement Courbet <courbet@google.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
