Android needs to mremap large regions of memory during memory management related operations. The mremap system call can be really slow if THP is not enabled. The bottleneck is move_page_tables, which is copying each pte at a time, and can be really slow across a large map. Turning on THP may not be a viable option, and is not for us. This patch speeds up the performance for non-THP system by copying at the PMD level when possible. The speedup is an order of magnitude on x86 (~20x). On a 1GB mremap, the mremap completion times drops from 3.4-3.6 milliseconds to 144-160 microseconds. Before: Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3521942 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3449229 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 3488230 nanoseconds. After: Total mremap time for 1GB data: 150279 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 144665 nanoseconds. Total mremap time for 1GB data: 158708 nanoseconds. If THP is enabled the optimization is mostly skipped except in certain situations.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap". This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra 'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization. Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more testing. The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script. (thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).

A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when parsing variables. This has been reported [0], but we should ensure that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings. For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version' only prints one character. (gdb) lx-version L(gdb) This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).

Since __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 is marked as notrace, the function called from __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 shouldn't be traceable either. ftrace_graph_caller() gets called every time func write_comp_data() gets called if it isn't marked 'notrace'. This is the backtrace from gdb: #0 ftrace_graph_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:179 #1 0xffffff8010201920 in ftrace_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:151 #2 0xffffff8010439714 in write_comp_data (type=5, arg1=0, arg2=0, ip=18446743524224276596) at ../kernel/kcov.c:116 #3 0xffffff8010439894 in __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp4 (arg1=<optimized out>, arg2=<optimized out>) at ../kernel/kcov.c:188 #4 0xffffff8010201874 in prepare_ftrace_return (self_addr=18446743524226602768, parent=0xffffff801014b918, frame_pointer=18446743524223531344) at ./include/generated/atomic-instrumented.h:27 #5 0xffffff801020194c in ftrace_graph_caller () at ../arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:182 Rework so that write_comp_data() that are called from __sanitizer_cov_trace_*_cmp*() are marked as 'notrace'. Commit 903e8ff8 ("kernel/kcov.c: mark funcs in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() as notrace") missed to mark write_comp_data() as 'notrace'. When that patch was created gcc-7 was used.

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.

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. This patch replaces the magic '11' usef in the struct fat_boot_sector with MSDOS_NAME, which is used in struct msdos_dir_entry. Please check the following references: 1.

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).

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.

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.

These declarations should generally be static const to avoid poor compilation and runtime performance where compilers tend to initialize the const declaration for every call instead of using .rodata for the string.

Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G. In some cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of the memory buddy system (4K default). So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap. Also use vfree to free it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181225015701.6289-1-sjhuang@iluvatar.aiSigned-off-by:

Contrary to other tests, test_find_next_and_bit() test uses tab formatting in output and get_cycles() instead of ktime_get(). get_cycles() is not supported by some arches, so ktime_get() fits better in generic code. Fix it and minor style issues, so the output looks like this: Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap find_next_bit: 7142816 ns, 163282 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 8545712 ns, 164399 iterations find_last_bit: 6332032 ns, 163282 iterations find_first_bit: 20509424 ns, 16606 iterations find_next_and_bit: 4060016 ns, 73424 iterations Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap find_next_bit: 55984 ns, 656 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 19197536 ns, 327025 iterations find_last_bit: 65088 ns, 656 iterations find_first_bit: 5923712 ns, 656 iterations find_next_and_bit: 29088 ns, 1 iterations Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181123174803.10916-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.comSigned-off-by:

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).

When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign bit is undefined behaviour. It doesn't really make sense to ask for the highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into an unsigned int. Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int, so I don't expect too many problems. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181105221117.31828-1-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:
