Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.
The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
tool for accessing it.
On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).
The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
doesn't provide the properties expected by them.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
and debugfs support.
A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML
debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool
for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up
the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King,
Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of
fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe
Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael
Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB
object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI
objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName
handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the
ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the
handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module-
level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now
(instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have
been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated
to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel
is more in line with the upstream now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether
or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys
and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use
that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace
for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu,
Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found
in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a
device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the
namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device
enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver
for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs
where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA
controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the
last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up
the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts
to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the
platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device
properties and add support for passing default configuration data
as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the
designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and
add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if
the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected
by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus,
Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng
Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more
efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared
between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device
Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is
running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with
an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on the
Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling devices
that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula where V is
the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant coefficient
provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little cpufreq
driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia, Jacob
Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
- cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us calculation
(Rik van Riel).
- Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x, ux500,
exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
Gortmaker).
- PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during system
suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may lead to
inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki, Ulf
Hansson).
- PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
- PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
- cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger)"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a
devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type.
Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the
discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and
only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the
moment.
- The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is
relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt
is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface.
- Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to
enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual
netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in
the said branch.
- Various cleanups

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.
There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:
-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
| sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
|
| with a very few manual fixups
-----
I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
merges)"

On ARM64, a BUG() is triggered in the eBPF JIT if a filter with a
constant shift that can't be encoded in the immediate field of the
UBFM/SBFM instructions is passed to the JIT. Since these shifts
amounts, which are negative or >= regsize, are invalid, reject them in
the eBPF verifier and the classic BPF filter checker, for all
architectures.

- Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:
Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.
Simple example:
$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat report
Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$
It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535

0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
[acme@ssdandy linux]$
An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
- Make command line options always available, even when they depend
on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
options (Wang Nan)
- Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)
- Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
(Russell King)
- Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read. (Taeung
Song)
- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
Wang Nan)
- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)
- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang

This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE
semantics by default. If userspace really believes it is safe to access
the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an
active driver. This protects device address ranges with read side
effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver.
Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now
accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem.
In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already
informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via
request_mem_region(). /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction
by default. Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more
difficult with this enabled. Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of
sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either:
1/ Disabling the driver, for example:
echo <device id> > /dev/bus/<parent bus>/drivers/<driver name>/unbind
2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line
3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n
Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the
first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction.
Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but
that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.

We hit ftrace_bug report when booting Android on a 64bit ATOM SOC chip.
Basically, there is a race between insmod and ftrace_run_update_code.
After load_module=>ftrace_module_init, another thread jumps in to call
ftrace_run_update_code=>ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare
=>set_all_modules_text_rw, to change all modules
as RW. Since the new module is at MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, the text attribute
is not changed. Then, the 2nd thread goes ahead to change codes.
However, load_module continues to call complete_formation=>set_section_ro_nx,
then 2nd thread would fail when probing the module's TEXT.
The patch fixes it by using notifier to delay the enabling of ftrace
records to the time when module is at state MODULE_STATE_COMING.

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
"PeiyangX Qiu reported that if a module fails to load between calling
ftrace_module_init() and do_init_module() that the allocations made in
ftrace_module_init() will not be freed, resulting in a memory leak.
The solution is to call ftrace_release_mod() on the failing module in
the fail path befor do_init_module() is called. This will remove any
allocations made for that module, and nothing if ftrace_module_init()
wasn't called yet for that module.
Note, once do_init_module() is called, the MODULE_GOING notifiers are
called for the failed module, which calls into the ftrace code to do
the proper clean up (basically calling ftrace_release_mod())"

ftrace/module: Call clean up function when module init fails early
|
|
Qiu Peiyang pointed out that there's a race when enabling function tracing
and loading a module. In order to make the modifications of converting nops
in the prologue of functions into callbacks, the text needs to be converted
from read-only to read-write. When enabling function tracing, the text
permission is updated, the functions are modified, and then they are put
back.
When loading a module, the updates to convert function calls to mcount is
done before the module text is set to read-only. But after it is done, the
module text is visible by the function tracer. Thus we have the following
race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
start function tracing
set text to read-write
load_module
add functions to ftrace
set module text read-only
update all functions to callbacks
modify module functions too
< Can't it's read-only >
When this happens, ftrace detects the issue and disables itself till the
next reboot.
To fix this, a new DISABLED flag is added for ftrace records, which all
module functions get when they are added. Then later, after the module code
is all set, the records will have the DISABLED flag cleared, and they will
be enabled if any callback wants all functions to be traced.
Note, this doesn't add the delay to later. It simply changes the
ftrace_module_init() to do both the setting of DISABLED records, and then
immediately calls the enable code. This helps with testing this new code as
it has the same behavior as previously. Another change will come after this
to have the ftrace_module_enable() called after the text is set to
read-only.

If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before
calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because
ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace
hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still
calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of
the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before
then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed.
Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before
getting to do_init_module().

If the apply_wqattrs_prepare() returns NULL, it has already cleaned up

This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().
I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.
So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing. Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.
For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.
This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.

wake_up_new_task()
If a newly created task is selected to go to a different CPU in fork
balance when it wakes up the first time, its load averages should
not be removed from the source CPU since they are never added to
it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.
Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

earliest_dl.next should cache deadline of the earliest ready task that
is also enqueued in the pushable rbtree, as pull algorithm uses this
information to find candidates for migration: if the earliest_dl.next
deadline of source rq is earlier than the earliest_dl.curr deadline of
destination rq, the task from the source rq can be pulled.
However, current implementation only guarantees that earliest_dl.next is
the deadline of the next ready task instead of the next pushable task;
which will result in potentially holding both rqs' lock and find nothing
to migrate because of affinity constraints. In addition, current logic
doesn't update the next candidate for pushing in pick_next_task_dl(),
even if the running task is never eligible.
This patch fixes both problems by updating earliest_dl.next when
pushable dl task is enqueued/dequeued, similar to what we already do for
RT.

In the following commit:
7675104990ed ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues")
we gained lockless wake-queues.
The -RT kernel managed to lockup itself with those. There could be multiple
attempts for task X to enqueue it for a wakeup _even_ if task X is already
running.
The reason is that task X could be runnable but not yet on CPU. The the
task performing the wakeup did not leave the CPU it could performe
multiple wakeups.
With the proper timming task X could be running and enqueued for a
wakeup. If this happens while X is performing a fork() then its its
child will have a !NULL `wake_q` member copied.
This is not a problem as long as the child task does not participate in
lockless wakeups :)

Make 'r' 64-bit type to avoid overflow in 'r * LOAD_AVG_MAX'
on 32-bit systems:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/sched/fair.c:2785:18
signed integer overflow:
87950 * 47742 cannot be represented in type 'int'
The most likely effect of this bug are bad load average numbers
resulting in weird scheduling. It's also likely that this can
persist for a longer time - until the system goes idle for
a long time so that all load avg numbers get reset.
[ This is the CFS load average metric, not the procfs output, which

There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
while it can still have events on. This will result in a
use-after-free which is BAD.
Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
around and no use-after-free takes place.
When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
will occur.

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not

This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.
Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.

When the first time find_next calls find_next_mod_format, it should
iterate the trace_bprintk_fmt_list to find the first print format of

at first, and code will not iterate the list. Latter container_of will
get the wrong address with former v, which will cause mod_fmt be a

This patch will fix it by correcting the start_index. After fixed,

The posix_clock_poll function is supposed to return a bit mask of
POLLxxx values. However, in case the hardware has disappeared (due to
hot plugging for example) this code returns -ENODEV in a futile
attempt to throw an error at the file descriptor level. The kernel's
file_operations interface does not accept such error codes from the
poll method. Instead, this function aught to return POLLERR.
The value -ENODEV does, in fact, contain the POLLERR bit (and almost
all the other POLLxxx bits as well), but only by chance. This patch
fixes code to return a proper bit mask.
Credit goes to Markus Elfring for pointing out the suspicious
signed/unsigned mismatch.
