      ARM: drivers/rtc/rtc-at91rm9200.c: disable interrupts at shutdown · 51a0d036
      Johan Hovold authored
      Make sure RTC-interrupts are disabled at shutdown.
      
      As the RTC is generally powered by backup power (VDDBU), its interrupts
      are not disabled on wake-up, user, watchdog or software reset.  This
      could cause troubles on other systems (e.g.  older kernels) if an
      interrupt occurs before a handler has been installed at next boot.
      
      Let us be well-behaved and disable them on clean shutdowns at least (as
      do the RTT-based rtc-at91sam9 driver).

      mm: hugetlbfs: fix hugetlbfs optimization · 27c73ae7
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      Commit 7cb2ef56 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
      caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
      split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
      tail_page->private field.
      
      Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
      compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
      both cases.
      
      The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
      THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
      avoid memory corruption.
      
      A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
      above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
      relevant for the compound_lock path too).
      
      By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
      pages, this also fixes the below problem:
      
        echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

      ipc,shm: fix shm_file deletion races · a399b29d
      Greg Thelen authored
      When IPC_RMID races with other shm operations there's potential for
      use-after-free of the shm object's associated file (shm_file).
      
      Here's the race before this patch:
      
        TASK 1                     TASK 2
        ------                     ------
        shm_rmid()
          ipc_lock_object()
                                   shmctl()
                                   shp = shm_obtain_object_check()
      
          shm_destroy()
            shum_unlock()
            fput(shp->shm_file)
                                   ipc_lock_object()
                                   shmem_lock(shp->shm_file)
                                   <OOPS>
      
      The oops is caused because shm_destroy() calls fput() after dropping the
      ipc_lock.  fput() clears the file's f_inode, f_path.dentry, and
      f_path.mnt, which causes various NULL pointer references in task 2.  I
      reliably see the oops in task 2 if with shmlock, shmu
      
      This patch fixes the races by:
      1) set shm_file=NULL in shm_destroy() while holding ipc_object_lock().
      2) modify at risk operations to check shm_file while holding
         ipc_object_lock().
      
      Example workloads, which each trigger oops...
      
      Workload 1:
        while true; do
          id=$(shmget 1 4096)
          shm_rmid $id &
          shmlock $id &
          wait
        done
      
        The oops stack shows accessing NULL f_inode due to racing fput:
          _raw_spin_lock
          shmem_lock
          SyS_shmctl
      
      Workload 2:
        while true; do
          id=$(shmget 1 4096)
          shmat $id 4096 &
          shm_rmid $id &
          wait
        done
      
        The oops stack is similar to workload 1 due to NULL f_inode:
          touch_atime
          shmem_mmap
          shm_mmap
          mmap_region
          do_mmap_pgoff
          do_shmat
          SyS_shmat
      
      Workload 3:
        while true; do
          id=$(shmget 1 4096)
          shmlock $id
          shm_rmid $id &
          shmunlock $id &
          wait
        done
      
        The oops stack shows second fput tripping on an NULL f_inode.  The
        first fput() completed via from shm_destroy(), but a racing thread did
        a get_file() and queued this fput():
          locks_remove_flock
          __fput
          ____fput
          task_work_run
          do_notify_resume
          int_signal
      
      Fixes: c2c737a0 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmat")
      Fixes: 2caacaa8 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl")

      mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page · 30b0a105
      Dave Hansen authored
      Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
      for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
      
             if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
                      copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
      
      So, yay for code reuse.  But:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
      
      and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate().  This works 99% of the
      time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
      alone.  Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
      page order, it works.
      
      But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
      (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
      so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
      since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
              if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
        ...
      
      Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
      functions.  This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
      copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
      
      I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff ("mm: numa: Add
      THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

      configfs: fix race between dentry put and lookup · 76ae281f
      Junxiao Bi authored
      A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end
      before configfs_d_iput is called.  In this window, if a lookup happen,
      since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be
      allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be
      updated to the new dentry.  Then in configfs_d_iput(),
      BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic.
      
      sys_open:                     sys_close:
       ...                           fput
                                      dput
                                       dentry_kill
                                        __d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here,
                                                 but sd->dentry still point
                                                 to this dentry.
      
       lookup_real
        configfs_lookup
         configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry
                                  to new allocated dentry here.
      
                                         d_kill
                                           configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry)
                                                           triggered here.
      
      To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if
      sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd
      beside the one that is going to be put.  Use configfs_dirent_lock in
      configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput.
      
      With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug.
      
      1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and
         fill configure in it.
      
      2. run the following script.
      	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
      	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &

       "With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
        patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
        making sure it was all finalized.
      
        The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
        with gcc, so we are all good.  Oh and we actually missed the actual
        Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
        fixes.
      
        I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
        separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
      
        Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
        but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one.  We'll
        bring fixes for that after -rc1.
      
        Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
      
           This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
           H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
      
           ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
           be merged into glibc soon.  There are a number of very nice
           improvements including the removal of function descriptors.  Rusty's
           kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
           transition"

      Revert "mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation" · 8b2e9b71
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit ea1e7ed3.
      
      Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
      slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
      the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
      
      Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
      to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
      
      Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything.  If we really do
      want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
      builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
      the patch fully.

      powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2 · 28027082
      Ulrich Weigand authored
      I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
      fails on little-endian.  The problem turned to be that the kernel
      installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
      record for that trampoline.  This CFI describes the save location
      for CR:
      
        rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))
      
      which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
      little-endian.   This is wrong no matter which ABI.
      
      In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
      record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
      Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
      vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
      maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
      However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
      actually wrong, they just will be ignored.   So it seems the simplest
      fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

      powerpc: Add TIF_ELF2ABI flag. · 373c76d6
      Rusty Russell authored
      Little endian ppc64 is getting an exciting new ABI.  This is reflected
      by the bottom two bits of e_flags in the ELF header:
      
      	0 == legacy binaries (v1 ABI)
      	1 == binaries using the old ABI (compiled with a new toolchain)
      	2 == binaries using the new ABI.
      
      We store this in a thread flag, because we need to set it in core
      dumps and for signal delivery.  Our chief concern is that it doesn't
      use function descriptors.

      --->8---
      
      It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
      the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
      'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
      10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
      before in 8d29b7b9.
      One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address

      avr32: setup crt for early panic() · 7a2a74f4
      Andreas Bießmann authored
      Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in
      _start, but also not before jump to panic() in no_tag_table case).
      
      This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic()
      in no_tag_table.

      Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data · 0d455c12
      Phillip Lougher authored
      This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
      that directly decompresses into the page cache.
      
      This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
      down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
      page cache buffers into the decompressors.  This enables
      direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
      kmap/kunmap calls.
      
      The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
      squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
      this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
      buffer.
      
      This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
      when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
      because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
      eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.
      
      Using single-thread decompression.

      Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors · 846b730e
      Phillip Lougher authored
      Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
      abstraction.  This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
      to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
      independant manner.
      
      This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
      to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
      aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
      knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.
      
      This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
      cache buffers, and page cache pages.
      
      This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
      the caches.

      Squashfs: add multi-threaded decompression using percpu variable · d208383d
      Phillip Lougher authored
      Add a multi-threaded decompression implementation which uses
      percpu variables.
      
      Using percpu variables has advantages and disadvantages over
      implementations which do not use percpu variables.
      
      Advantages:
        * the nature of percpu variables ensures decompression is
          load-balanced across the multiple cores.
        * simplicity.
      
      Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.

      Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code · 9508c6b9
      Phillip Lougher authored
      The decompressor interface and code was written from
      the point of view of single-threaded operation.  In doing
      so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
      aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
      difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
      implementations.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      1.  It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
          init() function.  This allows the decompressor init() function
          to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
          without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
          time.
      
      2.  It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
          decompressors.  In doing so, it makes the decompressors
          non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
          the decompressor implementation.
      
      3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
         in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
         decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.
      
      The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
      support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
      files with specialised implementations of the functions in
      decompressor_single.c
