There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc (and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes. NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via smp_init(). Commit 6ee0578b ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary processors are online. Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node: bce90380 ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]") f3f90ad4 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask") Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to a high number of slab deactivations (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html). Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible CPUs. Then, in smp_prepare_cpus(), we can correspondingly set the per-cpu values for all possible CPUs. That ensures that before the early_initcalls run (and really as early as possible), the per-cpu NUMA mapping is accurate. While testing memoryless nodes on PowerKVM guests with a fix to the workqueue logic to use cpu_to_mem() instead of cpu_to_node(), with a guest topology of: available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 1 cpus: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 node 1 size: 16336 MB node 1 free: 15329 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 40 1: 40 10 the slab consumption decreases from Slab: 932416 kB SUnreclaim: 902336 kB to Slab: 395264 kB SUnreclaim: 359424 kB And we a corresponding increase in the slab efficiency from slab mem objs slabs used active active ------------------------------------------------------------ kmalloc-16384 337 MB 11.28% 100.00% task_struct 288 MB 9.93% 100.00% to slab mem objs slabs used active active ------------------------------------------------------------ kmalloc-16384 37 MB 100.00% 100.00% task_struct 31 MB 100.00% 100.00% Powerpc didn't support memoryless nodes until recently (64bb80d8 "powerpc/numa: Enable CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES" and 8c272261 "powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID").

xmon only soft disables interrupts. This seems like a bad idea - we certainly don't want decrementer and PMU exceptions going off when we are debugging something inside xmon. This issue was uncovered when the hard lockup detector went off inside xmon. To ensure we wont get a spurious hard lockup warning, I also call touch_nmi_watchdog() when exiting xmon. Signed-off-by:

Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as following backtrace shows. The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic DMA window property while releasing the device node. ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 3.16.0+ #428 Tainted: G W --------------------------------------------- drmgr/2273 is trying to acquire lock: ((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem){.+.+..}, at: [<c000000000091890>] \ .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x78 but task is already holding lock: ((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem){.+.+..}, at: [<c000000000091890>] \ .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x78 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem); lock((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by drmgr/2273: #0: (sb_writers#4){.+.+.+}, at: [<c0000000001cbe70>] \ .vfs_write+0xb0/0x1f8 #1: ((of_reconfig_chain).rwsem){.+.+..}, at: [<c000000000091890>] \ .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x78 stack backtrace: CPU: 17 PID: 2273 Comm: drmgr Tainted: G W 3.16.0+ #428 Call Trace: [c0000000137e7000] [c000000000013d9c] .show_stack+0x88/0x148 (unreliable) [c0000000137e70b0] [c00000000083cd34] .dump_stack+0x7c/0x9c [c0000000137e7130] [c0000000000b8afc] .__lock_acquire+0x128c/0x1c68 [c0000000137e7280] [c0000000000b9a4c] .lock_acquire+0xe8/0x104 [c0000000137e7350] [c00000000083588c] .down_read+0x4c/0x90 [c0000000137e73e0] [c000000000091890] .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x78 [c0000000137e7490] [c000000000091900] .blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x48 [c0000000137e7520] [c000000000682a28] .of_reconfig_notify+0x34/0x5c [c0000000137e75b0] [c000000000682a9c] .of_property_notify+0x4c/0x54 [c0000000137e7650] [c000000000682bf0] .of_remove_property+0x30/0xd4 [c0000000137e76f0] [c000000000052a44] .remove_ddw+0x144/0x168 [c0000000137e7790] [c000000000053204] .iommu_reconfig_notifier+0x30/0xe0 [c0000000137e7820] [c00000000009137c] .notifier_call_chain+0x6c/0xb4 [c0000000137e78c0] [c0000000000918ac] .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x5c/0x78 [c0000000137e7970] [c000000000091900] .blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x48 [c0000000137e7a00] [c000000000682a28] .of_reconfig_notify+0x34/0x5c [c0000000137e7a90] [c000000000682e14] .of_detach_node+0x44/0x1fc [c0000000137e7b40] [c0000000000518e4] .ofdt_write+0x3ac/0x688 [c0000000137e7c20] [c000000000238430] .proc_reg_write+0xb8/0xd4 [c0000000137e7cd0] [c0000000001cbeac] .vfs_write+0xec/0x1f8 [c0000000137e7d70] [c0000000001cc3b0] .SyS_write+0x58/0xa0 [c0000000137e7e30] [c00000000000a064] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

We have been a bit slack about updating the CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS masks. When we added POWER8, and also POWER8E we forgot to update the ALWAYS mask. And when we added POWER8_DD1 we forgot to update both the POSSIBLE and ALWAYS masks. Luckily this hasn't caused any actual bugs AFAICS. Failing to update the ALWAYS mask just forgoes a potential optimisation opportunity. Failing to update the POSSIBLE mask for POWER8_DD1 is also OK because it only removes a bit rather than adding any. Regardless they should all be in both masks so as to avoid any future bugs when the set of ALWAYS/POSSIBLE bits changes, or the masks themselves change. Signed-off-by:

When we take full hotplug to recover from EEH errors, PCI buses could be involved. For the case, the child devices of involved PCI buses can't be attached to IOMMU group properly, which is caused by commit 3f28c5af ("powerpc/powernv: Reduce multi-hit of iommu_add_device()"). When adding the PCI devices of the newly created PCI buses to the system, the IOMMU group is expected to be added in (C). (A) fails to bind the IOMMU group because bus->is_added is false. (B) fails because the device doesn't have binding IOMMU table yet. bus->is_added is set to true at end of (C) and pdev->is_added is set to true at (D). pcibios_add_pci_devices() pci_scan_bridge() pci_scan_child_bus() pci_scan_slot() pci_scan_single_device() pci_scan_device() pci_device_add() pcibios_add_device() A: Ignore device_add() B: Ignore pcibios_fixup_bus() pcibios_setup_bus_devices() pcibios_setup_device() C: Hit pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() pci_bus_add_devices() pci_bus_add_device() D: Add device If the parent PCI bus isn't involved in hotplug, the IOMMU group is expected to be bound in (B). (A) should fail as the sysfs entries aren't populated. The patch fixes the issue by reverting commit 3f28c5af and remove WARN_ON() in iommu_add_device() to allow calling the function even the specified device already has associated IOMMU group.

Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with spin_unlock_wait(). We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock. It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it ACQUIRE semantics. Signed-off-by:

The kernel defines the function spin_is_locked(), which can be used to check if a spinlock is currently locked. Using spin_is_locked() on a lock you don't hold is obviously racy. That is, even though you may observe that the lock is unlocked, it may become locked at any time. There is (at least) one exception to that, which is if two locks are used as a pair, and the holder of each checks the status of the other before doing any update. Assuming *A and *B are two locks, and *COUNTER is a shared non-atomic value: The first CPU does: spin_lock(*A) if spin_is_locked(*B) # nothing else smp_mb() LOAD r = *COUNTER r++ STORE *COUNTER = r spin_unlock(*A) And the second CPU does: spin_lock(*B) if spin_is_locked(*A) # nothing else smp_mb() LOAD r = *COUNTER r++ STORE *COUNTER = r spin_unlock(*B) Although this is a strange locking construct, it should work. It seems to be understood, but not documented, that spin_is_locked() is not a memory barrier, so in the examples above and below the caller inserts its own memory barrier before acting on the result of spin_is_locked(). For now we assume spin_is_locked() is implemented as below, and we break it out in our examples: bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) { LOAD l = *LOCK return l.locked } Our intuition is that there should be no problem even if the two code sequences run simultaneously such as: CPU 0 CPU 1 ================================================== spin_lock(*A) spin_lock(*B) LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A if b.locked # true if a.locked # true # nothing # nothing spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B) If one CPU gets the lock before the other then it will do the update and the other CPU will back off: CPU 0 CPU 1 ================================================== spin_lock(*A) LOAD b = *B spin_lock(*B) if b.locked # false LOAD a = *A else if a.locked # true smp_mb() # nothing LOAD r1 = *COUNTER spin_unlock(*B) r1++ STORE *COUNTER = r1 spin_unlock(*A) However in reality spin_lock() itself is not indivisible. On powerpc we implement it as a load-and-reserve and store-conditional. Ignoring the retry logic for the lost reservation case, it boils down to: spin_lock(*LOCK) { LOAD l = *LOCK l.locked = true STORE *LOCK = l ACQUIRE_BARRIER } The ACQUIRE_BARRIER is required to give spin_lock() ACQUIRE semantics as defined in memory-barriers.txt: This acts as a one-way permeable barrier. It guarantees that all memory operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen after the ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of the system. On modern powerpc systems we use lwsync for ACQUIRE_BARRIER. lwsync is also know as "lightweight sync", or "sync 1". As described in Power ISA v2.07 section B.2.1.1, in this scenario the lwsync is not the barrier itself. It instead causes the LOAD of *LOCK to act as the barrier, preventing any loads or stores in the locked region from occurring prior to the load of *LOCK. Whether this behaviour is in accordance with the definition of ACQUIRE semantics in memory-barriers.txt is open to discussion, we may switch to a different barrier in future. What this means in practice is that the following can occur: CPU 0 CPU 1 ================================================== LOAD a = *A LOAD b = *B a.locked = true b.locked = true LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A STORE *A = a STORE *B = b if b.locked # false if a.locked # false else else smp_mb() smp_mb() LOAD r1 = *COUNTER LOAD r2 = *COUNTER r1++ r2++ STORE *COUNTER = r1 STORE *COUNTER = r2 # Lost update spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B) That is, the load of *B can occur prior to the store that makes *A visibly locked. And similarly for CPU 1. The result is both CPUs hold their lock and believe the other lock is unlocked. The easiest fix for this is to add a full memory barrier to the start of spin_is_locked(), so adding to our previous definition would give us: bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) { smp_mb() LOAD l = *LOCK return l.locked } The new barrier orders the store to the lock we are locking vs the load of the other lock: CPU 0 CPU 1 ================================================== LOAD a = *A LOAD b = *B a.locked = true b.locked = true STORE *A = a STORE *B = b smp_mb() smp_mb() LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A if b.locked # true if a.locked # true # nothing # nothing spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B) Although the above example is theoretical, there is code similar to this example in sem_lock() in ipc/sem.c. This commit in addition to the next commit appears to be a fix for crashes we are seeing in that code where we believe this race happens in practice. Signed-off-by: -

__early_init_mmu() does some things that are really only needed by the boot cpu. On FSL booke, This includes calling memblock_enforce_memory_limit(), which is labelled __init. Secondary cpu init code can't be __init as that would break CPU hotplug. While it's probably a bug that memblock_enforce_memory_limit() isn't __init_memblock instead, there's no reason why we should be doing this stuff for secondary cpus in the first place. Signed-off-by:

Pull trace file read iterator fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This contains a fix for two long standing bugs. Both of which are rarely ever hit, and requires the user to do something that users rarely do. It took a few special test cases to even trigger this bug, and one of them was just one test in the process of finishing up as another one started. Both bugs have to do with the ring buffer iterator rb_iter_peek(), but one is more indirect than the other. The fist bug fix is simply an increase in the safety net loop counter. The counter makes sure that the rb_iter_peek() only iterates the number of times we expect it can, and no more. Well, there was one way it could iterate one more than we expected, and that caused the ring buffer to shutdown with a nasty warning. The fix was simply to up that counter by one. The other bug has to be with rb_iter_reset() (called by rb_iter_peek()). This happens when a user reads both the trace_pipe and trace files. The trace_pipe is a consuming read and does not use the ring buffer iterator, but the trace file is not a consuming read and does use the ring buffer iterator. When the trace file is being read, if it detects that a consuming read occurred, it resets the iterator and starts over. But the reset code that does this (rb_iter_reset()), checks if the reader_page is linked to the ring buffer or not, and will look into the ring buffer itself if it is not. This is wrong, as it should always try to read the reader page first. Not to mention, the code that looked into the ring buffer did it wrong, and used the header_page "read" offset to start reading on that page. That offset is bogus for pages in the writable ring buffer, and was corrupting the iterator, and it would start returning bogus events" * tag 'trace-fixes-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page ring-buffer: Up rb_iter_peek() loop count to 3

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling. The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only, no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify this change works correctly. The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be backported as well. The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by the introduction of the network namespace" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts proc: Point /proc/net at /proc/thread-self/net instead of /proc/self/net proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread proc: Have net show up under /proc/<tgid>/task/<tid> NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy

Pull SElinux fixes from Paul Moore: "Two small patches to fix a couple of build warnings in SELinux and NetLabel. The patches are obvious enough that I don't think any additional explanation is necessary, but it basically boils down to the usual: I was stupid, and these patches fix some of the stupid. Both patches were posted earlier this week to the SELinux list, and that is where they sat as I didn't think there were noteworthy enough to go upstream at this point in time, but DaveM would rather see them upstream now so who am I to argue. As the patches are both very small" * 'stable-3.17' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: remove unused variabled in the netport, netnode, and netif caches netlabel: fix the netlbl_catmap_setlong() dummy function
