Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens. And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

Strengthen validation of BFS superblock against corruption. Make in-core inode bitmap static part of superblock info structure. Print a warning when mounting a BFS filesystem created with "-N 512" option as only 510 files can be created in the root directory. Make the kernel messages more uniform. Update the 'prefix' passed to bfs_dump_imap() to match the current naming of operations. White space and comments cleanup.

get_arg_page() checks bprm->rlim_stack.rlim_cur and re-calculates the "extra" size for argv/envp pointers every time, this is a bit ugly and even not strictly correct: acct_arg_size() must not account this size. Remove all the rlimit code in get_arg_page(). Instead, add bprm->argmin calculated once at the start of __do_execve_file() and change copy_strings to check bprm->p >= bprm->argmin. The patch adds the new helper, prepare_arg_pages() which initializes bprm->argc/envc and bprm->argmin.

load_script() simply truncates bprm->buf and this is very wrong if the length of shebang string exceeds BINPRM_BUF_SIZE-2. This can silently truncate i_arg or (worse) we can execute the wrong binary if buf[2:126] happens to be the valid executable path. Change load_script() to return ENOEXEC if it can't find '\n' or zero in bprm->buf. Note that '\0' can come from either prepare_binprm()->memset() or from kernel_read(), we do not care.

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. Since the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro checks the FAT variant in a way that the patch series changes, I removed it, and instead wrote a clear explanation of what was checked. I verified that the changed comment is correct according to Microsoft FAT spec, search for "BPB_Media" in the following references: 1.

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.

Commit 092a5345 ("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).

The parse_options() function uses a long list of parameters, most of which are present in the super block info structure already. The mount parameters set in parse_options() options don't require cleanup so using the super block info struct directly is simpler.

Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit 0633da48 ("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.

Upon timeout, we can just exit out of the loop, without the cost of the changing the task's state with an smp_store_mb call.

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.

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181108051006.18751-4-dave@stgolabs.netSigned-off-by:

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.

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).

check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() is currently calling rcu_lock_break() for every 1024 threads. But check_hung_task() is very slow if printk() was called, and is very fast otherwise. If many threads within some 1024 threads called printk(), the RCU grace period might be extended enough to trigger RCU stall warnings. Therefore, calling rcu_lock_break() for every some fixed jiffies will be safer. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1544800658-11423-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jpSigned-off-by:

Based on commit 401c636a ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task. However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set console loglevel to high level. This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.

The introduction of these dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs dates back to commmit 903c0c7c ("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.comSigned-off-by:

The use of variable length arrays is banned. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542856462-18836-2-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

`extern' with function prototypes makes lines longer and creates more characters on the screen. Do not bug people with checkpatch.pl warnings for now as fallout can be devastating. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181101134153.GA29267@avx2Signed-off-by:

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.

Header of /proc/*/limits is a fixed string, so print it directly without formatting specifiers. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181203164242.GB6904@avx2Signed-off-by:
