Commit: 72e6ae28 ('ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol write' ... has introduced an arch-specific method to ensure all caches are flushed appropriately after an instruction is written to an XOL page. However, when the XOL area is created and the out-of-line breakpoint instruction is copied, caches are not flushed at all and stale data may be found in icache. Replace a simple copy_to_page() with arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() to allow the arch to ensure all caches are updated accordingly. This change fixes uprobes on MIPS InterAptiv (tested on Creator Ci40).

We have observed page allocations failures of order 4 during core dump while trying to allocate vma_filesz. This results in a useless core file of size 0. To improve reliability use vmalloc(). Note that the vmalloc() allocation is bounded by sysctl_max_map_count, which is 65,530 by default. So with a 4k page size, and 8 bytes per seg, this is a max of 128 pages or an order 7 allocation. Other parts of the core dump path, such as fill_files_note() are already using vmalloc() for presumably similar reasons.

Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs (loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk. There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to do so. Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.

Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. The current btrfs_printk() macros do not support continuous lines at the moment. But better be prepared for a custom messages and avoid potential "lvl" buffer overflow. This patch iterates over the entire message header. It is interested only into the message level like the original code. This patch also introduces PRINTK_MAX_SINGLE_HEADER_LEN. Three bytes are enough for the message level header at the moment. But it used to be three, see the commit 04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"). Also I fixed the default ratelimit level. It looked very strange when it was different from the default log level.

Commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") added back KERN_CONT message header. As a result it might appear in the middle of the line when the parts are squashed via the temporary NMI buffer. A reasonable solution seems to be to split the text in the NNI temporary not only by newlines but also by the message headers. Another solution would be to filter out KERN_CONT when writing to the temporary buffer. But this would complicate the lockless handling. Also it would not solve problems with a missing newline that was there even before the KERN_CONT stuff. This patch moves the temporary buffer handling into separate function. I played with it and it seems that using the char pointers make the code easier to read. Also it prints the final newline as a continuous line. Finally, it moves handling of the s->len overflow into the paranoid check. And allows to recover from the disaster.

vsnprintf() adds the trailing '\0' but it does not count it into the number of printed characters. The result is that there is one byte less space for the real characters in the buffer. The broken check for the free space might cause that we will repeatedly try to print 1 character into the buffer, never reach the full buffer, and do not count the messages as missed. Also vsnprintf() returns the number of characters that would be printed if the buffer was big enough. As a result, s->len might be bigger than the size of the buffer[*]. And the printk() function might return bigger len than it really printed. Both problems are fixed by using vscnprintf() instead. Note that I though about increasing the number of missed messages even when the message was shrunken. But it made the code even more complicated. I think that it is not worth it. Shrunken messages are usually easy to recognize. And it should be a corner case. [*] The overflown s->len value is crazy and unexpected. I "made a mistake" and reported this situation as an internal error when fixed handling of PR_CONT headers in some other patch.

format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25% of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does 5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot. With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to this microbenchmark: char buf[4096]; int i, fd; for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY); read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474410485-1305-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by:Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by:

Some comments were obsoleted since commit 05c0ae21 ("try a saner locking for pde_opener..."). Some new comments added. Some confusing comments replaced with equally confusing ones. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161029160231.GD1246@avx2Signed-off-by:

kzalloc is too much, half of the fields will be reinitialized anyway. If proc file doesn't have ->release hook (some still do not), clearing is unnecessary because it will be freed immediately. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161029155747.GC1246@avx2Signed-off-by:

list_del_init() is too much, structure will be freed in three lines anyway. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161029155313.GA1246@avx2Signed-off-by:

Linux doesn't support 4GB+ filenames in /proc, so unsigned long is too much. MOV r64, r/m64 is larger than MOV r32, r/m32. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161029161123.GG1246@avx2Signed-off-by:

"unsigned int" is better on x86_64 because it most of the time it autoexpands to 64-bit value while "int" requires MOVSX instruction. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161029160810.GF1246@avx2Signed-off-by:
