file_path=<path> defines file or directory to open lock_inode=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to inode->i_rwsem lock_mapping=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to mapping->i_mmap_rwsem lock_sb_umount=Y set lock_rwsem_ptr to sb->s_umount This gives safe and simple way to see how system reacts to contention of common vfs locks and how syscalls depend on them directly or indirectly. For example to block s_umount for 60 seconds: # modprobe test_lockup file_path=. lock_sb_umount time_secs=60 state=S This is useful for checking/testing scalability issues like this: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158497590858.7371.9311902565121473436.stgit@buzz/Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_TEST_LOCKUP=m adds module "test_lockup" that helps to make sure that watchdogs and lockup detectors are working properly. Depending on module parameters test_lockup could emulate soft or hard lockup, "hung task", hold arbitrary lock, allocate bunch of pages. Also it could generate series of lockups with cooling-down periods, in this way it could be used as "ping" for locks or page allocator. Loop checks signals between iteration thus could be stopped by ^C. # modinfo test_lockup ... parm: time_secs:lockup time in seconds, default 0 (uint) parm: time_nsecs:nanoseconds part of lockup time, default 0 (uint) parm: cooldown_secs:cooldown time between iterations in seconds, default 0 (uint) parm: cooldown_nsecs:nanoseconds part of cooldown, default 0 (uint) parm: iterations:lockup iterations, default 1 (uint) parm: all_cpus:trigger lockup at all cpus at once (bool) parm: state:wait in 'R' running (default), 'D' uninterruptible, 'K' killable, 'S' interruptible state (charp) parm: use_hrtimer:use high-resolution timer for sleeping (bool) parm: iowait:account sleep time as iowait (bool) parm: lock_read:lock read-write locks for read (bool) parm: lock_single:acquire locks only at one cpu (bool) parm: reacquire_locks:release and reacquire locks/irq/preempt between iterations (bool) parm: touch_softlockup:touch soft-lockup watchdog between iterations (bool) parm: touch_hardlockup:touch hard-lockup watchdog between iterations (bool) parm: call_cond_resched:call cond_resched() between iterations (bool) parm: measure_lock_wait:measure lock wait time (bool) parm: lock_wait_threshold:print lock wait time longer than this in nanoseconds, default off (ulong) parm: disable_irq:disable interrupts: generate hard-lockups (bool) parm: disable_softirq:disable bottom-half irq handlers (bool) parm: disable_preempt:disable preemption: generate soft-lockups (bool) parm: lock_rcu:grab rcu_read_lock: generate rcu stalls (bool) parm: lock_mmap_sem:lock mm->mmap_sem: block procfs interfaces (bool) parm: lock_rwsem_ptr:lock rw_semaphore at address (ulong) parm: lock_mutex_ptr:lock mutex at address (ulong) parm: lock_spinlock_ptr:lock spinlock at address (ulong) parm: lock_rwlock_ptr:lock rwlock at address (ulong) parm: alloc_pages_nr:allocate and free pages under locks (uint) parm: alloc_pages_order:page order to allocate (uint) parm: alloc_pages_gfp:allocate pages with this gfp_mask, default GFP_KERNEL (uint) parm: alloc_pages_atomic:allocate pages with GFP_ATOMIC (bool) parm: reallocate_pages:free and allocate pages between iterations (bool) Parameters for locking by address are unsafe and taints kernel.

With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, objtool reports: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.o: warning: objtool: i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl()+0x5b7: call to gen8_canonical_addr() with UACCESS enabled This means i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl() is calling gen8_canonical_addr() from the user_access_begin/end critical region (i.e, with SMAP disabled). While it's probably harmless in this case, in general we like to avoid extra function calls in SMAP-disabled regions because it can open up inadvertent security holes. Fix the warning by changing the sign extension helpers to __always_inline. This convinces GCC to inline gen8_canonical_addr(). The sign extension functions are trivial anyway, so it makes sense to always inline them. With my test optimize-for-size-based config, this actually shrinks the text size of i915_gem_execbuffer.o by 45 bytes -- and no change for vmlinux. Reported-by:

compiletime_assert() uses __LINE__ to create a unique function name. This means that if you have more than one BUILD_BUG_ON() in the same source line (which can happen if they appear e.g. in a macro), then the error message from the compiler might output the wrong condition. For this source file: #include <linux/build_bug.h> #define macro() \ BUILD_BUG_ON(1); \ BUILD_BUG_ON(0); void foo() { macro(); } gcc would output: ./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_9' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 0 _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__) However, it was not the BUILD_BUG_ON(0) that failed, so it should say 1 instead of 0. With this patch, we use __COUNTER__ instead of __LINE__, so each BUILD_BUG_ON() gets a different function name and the correct condition is printed: ./include/linux/compiler.h:350:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_0' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: 1 _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) Signed-off-by:Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by:

The code, #undef CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, is not working as expected because <linux/compiler_types.h> is parsed before vclock_gettime.c since 28128c61 ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct attributes"). Since then, <linux/compiler_types.h> is included really early by using the '-include' option. So, you cannot negate the decision of <linux/compiler_types.h> in this way. You can confirm it by checking the pre-processed code, like this: $ make arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vclock_gettime.i There is no difference with/without CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. It is about two years since 28128c61. Nobody has reported a problem (or, nobody has even noticed the fact that this code is not working). It is ugly and unreliable to attempt to undefine a CONFIG option from C files, and anyway the inlining heuristic is up to the compiler. Just remove the broken code. Signed-off-by:

Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not.

Previously there was a check if 'size' is aligned to 'align' and if not then it was aligned. This check was expensive as both branch and division are expensive instructions in most architectures. 'ALIGN' function on already aligned value will not change it, and as it is cheaper than branch + division it can be executed all the time and branch can be removed. Signed-off-by:

If CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is defined, but neither CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE nor CONFIG_MIGRATION, then non_swap_entry() will return 0, meaning that the condition (non_swap_entry(entry) && is_device_private_entry(entry)) in zap_pte_range() will never be true even if the entry is a device private one. Equally any other code depending on non_swap_entry() will not function as expected. I originally spotted this just by looking at the code, I haven't actually observed any problems. Looking a bit more closely it appears that actually this situation (currently at least) cannot occur: DEVICE_PRIVATE depends on ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_DEVICE depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE MEMORY_HOTREMOVE depends on MIGRATION Fixes: 5042db43 ("mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory") Signed-off-by:

The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by:

I recently build the RISC-V port with LLVM trunk, which has introduced a new warning when casting from a pointer to an enum of a smaller size. This patch simply casts to a long in the middle to stop the warning. I'd be surprised this is the only one in the kernel, but it's the only one I saw. Signed-off-by:

Yang Shi writes: Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP (start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP. Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the THP may still be kept in page cache. This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP still stays in page cache.) Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes. Hugh Dickins adds: Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page. That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky. But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any problem from that. Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed. But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack; but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping() and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec speedup by checking for compound pages there.

Previously 0 was assigned to variable 'error' but the variable was never read before reassignemnt later. So the assignment can be removed. Signed-off-by:

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of direct initializations, the warnings remain. To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're used or lift them up into the main function body. mm/shmem.c: In function `shmem_getpage_gfp': mm/shmem.c:1816:10: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable] 1816 | loff_t i_size; | ^~~~~~ [1] https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44916Signed-off-by:Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by:
