The fstatat(2) and statx() calls can pass the flag AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT which is meant to clear the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag and prevent triggering of an automount by the call. But this flag is unconditionally cleared for all stat family system calls except statx(). stat family system calls have always triggered mount requests for the negative dentry case in follow_automount() which is intended but prevents the fstatat(2) and statx() AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT case from being handled. In order to handle the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT for both system calls the negative dentry case in follow_automount() needs to be changed to return ENOENT when the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag is clear (and the other required flags are clear). AFAICT this change doesn't have any noticable side effects and may, in some use cases (although I didn't see it in testing) prevent unnecessary callbacks to the automount daemon. It's also possible that a stat family call has been made with a path that is in the process of being mounted by some other process. But stat family calls should return the automount state of the path as it is "now" so it shouldn't wait for mount completion. This is the same semantic as the positive dentry case already handled.

Patch series "Command line randomness", v3. A series to add the kernel command line as a source of randomness. This patch (of 2): Stack canary intialization involves getting a random number. Getting this random number may involve accessing caches or other architectural specific features which are not available until after the architecture is setup.

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the output of --list-types. Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too. So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

__radix_tree_preload() only disables preemption if no error is returned. So we really need to make sure callers always check the return value. idr_preload() contract is to always disable preemption, so we need to add a missing preempt_disable() if an error happened. Similarly, ida_pre_get() only needs to call preempt_enable() in the case no error happened.

Yury Norov authored
Current implementation of bitmap_parselist() uses a static variable to save local state while setting bits in the bitmap. It is obviously wrong if we assume execution in multiprocessor environment. Fortunately, it's possible to rewrite this portion of code to avoid using the static variable. It is also possible to set bits in the mask per-range with bitmap_set(), not per-bit, as it is implemented now, with set_bit(); which is way faster. The important side effect of this change is that setting bits in this function from now is not per-bit atomic and less memory-ordered. This is because set_bit() guarantees the order of memory accesses, while bitmap_set() does not. I think that it is the advantage of the new approach, because the bitmap_parselist() is intended to initialise bit arrays, and user should protect the whole bitmap during initialisation if needed. So protecting individual bits looks expensive and useless. Also, other range-oriented functions in lib/bitmap.c don't worry much about atomicity. With all that, setting 2k bits in map with the pattern like 0-2047:128/256 becomes ~50 times faster after applying the patch in my testing environment (arm64 hosted on qemu). The second patch of the series adds the test for bitmap_parselist(). It's not intended to cover all tricky cases, just to make sure that I didn't screw up during rework.

Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first(). As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a 'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily available. While most users will make use of this feature, those with special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

The only times the nil-parent (root node) condition is true is when the node is the first in the tree, or after fixing rbtree rule #4 and the case 1 rebalancing made the node the root. Such conditions do not apply most of the time: (i) The common case in an rbtree is to have more than a single node, so this is only true for the first rb_insert(). (ii) While there is a chance only one first rotation is needed, cases where the node's uncle is black (cases 2,3) are more common as we can have the following scenarios during the rotation looping: case1 only, case1+1, case2+3, case1+2+3, case3 only, etc. This patch, therefore, adds an unlikely() optimization to this conditional. When profiling with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES, a kernel build shows that the incorrect rate is less than 15%, and for workloads that involve insert mostly trees overtime tend to have less than 2% incorrect rate.

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4. A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree users[1]. The benefits of this series are that: (i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching. (ii) Optimize all interval tree users. (iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface. This patch (of 16): Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right, respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster overlap checking. This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular rb_root calls are: - rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement for rb_first. - rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new) - rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root) In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the interval tree changes. With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization requires zero overhead.

Patch series "Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or warn for inconsistencies", v3. While working on enabling queued rwlock on SPARC, found this following code in include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h which uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to clear a byte. static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock) { return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN); } Problem is many of the fixed big endian architectures don't define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and clears the wrong byte. Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture to fix it. Also found few more references of this config parameter in drivers/of/base.c drivers/of/fdt.c drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c Be aware that this may cause regressions if someone has worked-around problems in the above code already. Remove the work-around.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number. Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following cases: 1) kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X)); "int" has to be sign extended to size_t. 2) while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids) MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV. Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

Where possible, call memset16(), memmove() or memcpy() instead of using open-coded loops. I don't like the calling convention that uses a byte count instead of a count of u16s, but it's a little late to change that. Reduces code size of fbcon.o by almost 400 bytes on my laptop build.
