The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched: As part of: 62b94a08 ("sched/preempt: Take away preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules") the definition of preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in built-in code, not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use it from header files. However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch() calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot include asm/mmu_context.h from modules. With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile time error with modular configs: In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0, from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18: ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch': ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] preempt_enable_no_resched(); Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h from asm/mmu_context.h, but that didn't help. Arnd suggested reordering the header files, which wasn't popular, so let's use this workaround instead: The finish_arch_post_lock_switch() definition is now also hidden inside of #ifdef MODULE, so we don't see anything referencing preempt_enable_no_resched() from a header file. I've built a few hundred randconfig kernels with this, and did not see any new problems.

Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they have no load at all. Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it from getting lower than the mentioned values. Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95 (multiplied by number of cores). Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever. This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05. It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again, so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by (2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost" load created, next to the old and active load terms. By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down. The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone.

In calculate_imbalance() load_above_capacity currently has the unit [capacity] while it is used as being [load/capacity].

Pavan reported that in the presence of very light tasks (or cgroups) the placement of migrated tasks can cause severe fairness issues. The problem is that enqueue_entity() places the task before it updates time, thereby it can place the task far in the past (remember that light tasks will shoot virtual time forward at a high speed, so in relation to the pre-existing light task, we can land far in the past). This is done because update_curr() needs the current task, and we might be placing the current task. The obvious solution is to differentiate between the current and any other task; placing the current before we update time, and placing any other task after, such that !curr tasks end up at the current moment in time, and not in the past. This commit re-introduces the previously reverted commit: 3a47d512 ("sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration") ... which is now safe to do, after we've also fixed another underlying bug first, in: sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration and cleaned up other details in the migration code: sched/core: Kill sched_class::task_waking Reported-by: Pavan Kondeti <pkondeti@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Mike reported that our recent attempt to fix migration problems: 3a47d512 ("sched/fair: Fix fairness issue on migration") broke interactivity and the signal starve test. We reverted that commit and now let's try it again more carefully, with some other underlying problems fixed first. One problem is that I assumed ENQUEUE_WAKING was only set when we do a cross-cpu wakeup (migration), which isn't true. This means we now destroy the vruntime history of tasks and wakeup-preemption suffers. Cure this by making my assumption true, only call sched_class::task_waking() when we do a cross-cpu wakeup. This avoids the indirect call in the case we do a local wakeup.

Since I want to make ->task_woken() conditional on the task getting migrated, we cannot use it to call record_wakee(). Move it to select_task_rq_fair(), which gets called in almost all the same conditions. The only exception is if the woken task (@p) is CPU-bound (as per the nr_cpus_allowed test in select_task_rq()).

Josef reported that the uncore driver trips over with CONFIG_SMP=n because x86_max_cores is 16 instead of 12. The reason is, that for SMP=n the extended topology detection is a NOOP and the cache leaf is used to determine the number of cores. That's wrong in two aspects: 1) The cache leaf enumerates the maximum addressable number of cores in the package, which is obviously not correct 2) UP has no business with topology bits at all.

Merge fixes from Andrew Morton: "2 fixes" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: zsmalloc: fix zs_can_compact() integer overflow Revert "proc/base: make prompt shell start from new line after executing "cat /proc/$pid/wchan""
-
Sergey Senozhatsky authored
zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation: unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) - zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED); 1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs 2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab(). do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases: vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62 However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every shrinker->count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled. To demonstrate the latter, I added some debugging code to do_shrink_slab() (x86_64) and the results were: vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615] vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 92679974445502 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 92679974445502 [..] vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615] vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 22634041808232578 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 22634041808232578 Even though shrinker->count_objects() has returned an overflowed value, the resulting `total_scan' is positive, and, what is more worrisome, it is insanely huge. This value is getting used later on in shrinker->scan_objects() loop: while (total_scan >= batch_size || total_scan >= freeable) { unsigned long ret; unsigned long nr_to_scan = min(batch_size, total_scan); shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = nr_to_scan; ret = shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl); if (ret == SHRINK_STOP) break; freed += ret; count_vm_events(SLABS_SCANNED, nr_to_scan); total_scan -= nr_to_scan; cond_resched(); } `total_scan >= batch_size' is true for a very-very long time and 'total_scan >= freeable' is also true for quite some time, because `freeable < 0' and `total_scan' is large enough, for example, 22634041808232578. The only break condition, in the given scheme of things, is shrinker->scan_objects() == SHRINK_STOP test, which is a bit too weak to rely on, especially in heavy zsmalloc-usage scenarios. To fix the issue, take a pool stat snapshot and use it instead of racy zs_stat_get() calls.

gcc support for __builtin_bswap16() was supposedly added for powerpc in gcc 4.6, and was then later added for other architectures in gcc 4.8. However, Stephen Rothwell reported that attempting to use it on powerpc in gcc 4.6 fails with: lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[0]') lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[1]') ... I'm not entirely sure what those errors mean, but I don't see them on gcc 4.8. So let's consider gcc 4.8 to be the official starting point for __builtin_bswap16(). Arnd Bergmann adds: "I found the commit in gcc-4.8 that replaced the powerpc-specific implementation of __builtin_bswap16 with an architecture-independent one. Apparently the powerpc version (gcc-4.6 and 4.7) just mapped to the lhbrx/sthbrx instructions, so it ended up not being a constant, though the intent of the patch was mainly to add support for the builtin to x86: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52624 has the patch that went into gcc-4.8 and more information."

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== net/mlx5e: Kconfig fixes for VxLAN Reposting to net the build errors fixes posted by Arnd last week. Originally Arnd posted those fixes to net-next, while the issue is also seen in net. For net-next a different approach is required for fixing the issue as VXLAN and Device Drivers are no longer dependent, but there is no harm for those fixes to get into net-next. Optionally, once net is merged into net-next we can Revert "net/mlx5e: make VXLAN support conditional" as the CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN_VXLAN will no longer be required.

VXLAN can be disabled at compile-time or it can be a loadable module while mlx5 is built-in, which leads to a link error: drivers/net/built-in.o: In function `mlx5e_create_netdev': ntb_netdev.c:(.text+0x106de4): undefined reference to `vxlan_get_rx_port' This avoids the link error and makes the vxlan code optional, like the other ethernet drivers do as well.

This reverts commit 69976fb1. We cannot select VXLAN when IPv4 support is disabled, that just gives us additional build errors, including: warning: (MLX5_CORE_EN) selects VXLAN which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && NET_CORE && INET) In file included from ../drivers/net/vxlan.c:36:0: include/net/udp_tunnel.h: In function 'udp_tunnel_handle_offloads': include/net/udp_tunnel.h:112:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'iptunnel_handle_offloads' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] return iptunnel_handle_offloads(skb, type); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm sending a proper fix for the original bug in a separate patch.

The MACsec standard mentions a key identifier for each key, but doesn't specify anything about it, so I arbitrarily chose 64 bits. IEEE 802.1X-2010 specifies MKA (MACsec Key Agreement), and defines the key identifier to be 128 bits (96 bits "member identifier" + 32 bits "key number").
