      ARM: integrator: restore static map on the CP · 608914b3
      Linus Walleij authored
      Commit 78d16321 deleted the
      static mappings of the core modules, but this static map is
      still needed on the Integrator/CP (not the Integrator/AP).
      
      Restore the static map on the Integrator/CP.

      need to be applied not only when system is booting, but when MPUSS hits
      OSWR state through CPUIdle too. Without this WA the same issue is
      reproduced now on boards PandaES and Tablet/Blaze with SOM OMAP4460

         need to call get_cached_acl again.
       - no need to check IS_POSIXACL in ->get_acl, without that it should
         never get set as all the callers that set it already have the check.

      x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel · 2def2ef2
      PaX Team authored
      The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:
      
        asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
                                            unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
                                            struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
        {
                int datagrams;
                struct timespec ktspec;
      
                if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
                        return -EINVAL;
      
                if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
                        return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
                                              flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
                                              (struct timespec *) timeout);
                ...
      
      The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
      annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
      and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
      dereference it for both reading and writing.  Other callers to
      __sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.
      
      The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c ("compat: Use
      COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
      since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
      along with this code).
      
      Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
      CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.
      
      Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.
      
      This addresses CVE-2014-0038.

       "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support

          "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
           for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
           a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved

           and optional floating point unit."

      memcg: fix mutex not unlocked on memcg_create_kmem_cache fail path · 7c094fd6
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Commit 842e2873 ("memcg: get rid of kmem_cache_dup()") introduced a
      mutex for memcg_create_kmem_cache() to protect the tmp_name buffer that
      holds the memcg name.  It failed to unlock the mutex if this buffer
      could not be allocated.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by appropriately unlocking the mutex if the
      allocation fails.

      mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage · 778c14af
      David Rientjes authored
      A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
      other processes.
      
      With commit a63d83f4 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
      killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
      overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption.  But
      as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
      are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
      the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
      kill dhclient or other root-owned processes.  For example, on a 32G
      machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
      fork bomb member.
      
      The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
      overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
      the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
      individually_ during OOM selection.
      
      Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
      bonus.
      
      By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
      they remain comparable even when relatively small.  In the example
      above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
      down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
      and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
      agetty because it's first in the task list.

      mm: don't lose the SOFT_DIRTY flag on mprotect · 24f91eba
      Andrey Vagin authored
      The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
      defined point in the past.  mprotect() doesn't change the content of
      memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.
      
      This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
      dumped.  On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
      dumped.  So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
      page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.
      
      This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
      is called only for present pages.
      
      Fixes commit 0f8975ec ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes
      tracking").

      mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again) · a0320865
      Dave Hansen authored
      Commit abca7c49 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using
      slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except
      when using a real double-cmpxchg.  Doing so can lose updates to
      ->_count.
      
      That is an absolute rule:
      
              You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg.
      
      Commit abca7c49 fixed this for the folks who have the slub
      cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case
      alone.  It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two
      cases:
      
      1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on
         the distro kernels that I looked at.
      2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64
         cpus, evidently)
      
      There are at least 3 ways we could fix this:
      
      1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and
         __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new
         and target 'struct page'.
      2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'.
      3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to
         pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those
         fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}.
      
      I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code.  This patch is an
      attempt at (3).  This was the most straightforward and foolproof way
      that I could think to do this.
      
      This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly
      
      #if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \
             defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE)
      
      in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that
      'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the
      copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

      mm/mempolicy.c: fix mempolicy printing in numa_maps · 8790c71a
      David Rientjes authored
      As a result of commit 5606e387 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference
      policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as
      "prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.
      
      This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is
      MPOL_PREFERRED for node N.
      
      If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local
      node allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

      zram: remove zram->lock in read path and change it with mutex · e46e3315
      Minchan Kim authored
      Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
      handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
      write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
      changes rw_semaphore with mutex.  So, we could do
      
      old:
      
        read-read: OK
        read-write: NO
        write-write: NO
      
      Now:
      
        read-read: OK
        read-write: OK
        write-write: NO
      
      The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
      also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
      support SPIN_ON_OWNER.  It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.
      
      Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
      good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

      zram: remove workqueue for freeing removed pending slot · f614a9f4
      Minchan Kim authored
      Commit a0c516cb ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
      introduced free request pending code to avoid scheduling by mutex under
      spinlock and it was a mess which made code lenghty and increased
      overhead.
      
      Now, we don't need zram->lock any more to free slot so this patch
      reverts it and then, tb_lock should protect it.

      zram: introduce zram->tb_lock · 92967471
      Minchan Kim authored
      Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather
      coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility.
      
      Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock.  This patch
      adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just
      prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock)
      which is hurdle about zram scalability.
      
      Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path
      and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path.  With bonus, we could
      drop pending slot free mess in next patch.

      zram: use atomic operation for stat · deb0bdeb
      Minchan Kim authored
      Some of fields in zram->stats are protected by zram->lock which is
      rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict
      locking.
      
      This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram->lock in read path
      which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore.  Of course, this patch adds
      new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't
      spot any regression.  All gain/lose is marginal within stddev.

      Commit a0c516cb ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
      introduced pending zram slot free in zram's write path in case of
      missing slot free by memory allocation failure in zram_slot_free_notify
      but it is not necessary because we have already freed the slot right
      before overwriting.

      zram: delay pending free request in read path · 9b353db1
      Minchan Kim authored
      Sergey reported we don't need to handle pending free request every I/O
      so that this patch removes it in read path while we remain it in write
      path.
      
      Let's consider below example.
      
      Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but
      zram had been pended it without real freeing.  Swap subsystem allocates
      "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled
      and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block.  :(
      
      That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before
      zram-write.

      zram: fix race between reset and flushing pending work · da4a0412
      Minchan Kim authored
      Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and flushing
      of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing zram->meta in
      reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta if new request is
      adding during the race window.
      
      This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents new request
      so that it closes the race.

      zram: promote zram from staging · cd67e10a
      Minchan Kim authored
      Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
      fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now.  Of
      course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
      
      The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
      recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
      which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
      for small memory smart phone.  And there was a report Google released
      their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
      time ago.  And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
      In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples.  For example,
      Lubuntu start to use it.
      
      The benefit of zram is very clear.  With my experience, one of the
      benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
      pressure.  It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
      but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system.  Recent
      mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages.  But
      embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
      because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
      swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
      encounter OOM kill.  :(
      
      Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too.  Because
      it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
      storage performance.
      
      Quote from Luigi on Google
       "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
        to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
        and leads to a bad interactive experience.  Generally we prefer to
        manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
        processes.  But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
        with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
        available RAM.  " and he announced.
      http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
      
      Other uses case is to use zram for block device.  Zram is block device
      so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
      the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
      http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
      
      Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

      zsmalloc: move it under mm · bcf1647d
      Minchan Kim authored
      This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
      
      Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
      allocator.
      
      Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
      pages.  It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
      rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
      
      zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
      achieve these design goals.
      
      zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
      "size classes" in zsmalloc terms.  Instead it allows multiple
      single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
      the slab.  This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
      pressure.
      
      Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
      This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
      slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.  With the
      kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
      the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
      because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
      space.
      
      This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
      directly addressable by the user.  The user is given an
      non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request.  That
      handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
      the mapped region that can be used.  The mapping is necessary since the
      object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
      
      The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

      kernel/smp.c: remove cpumask_ipi · 73f94550
      Roman Gushchin authored
      After commit 9a46ad6d ("smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic
      similar to smp_call_function_single()"), cfd->cpumask is accessed only
      in smp_call_function_many().  So there is no more need to copy it into
      cfd->cpumask_ipi before putting csd into the list.  The cpumask_ipi
      field is obsolete and can be removed.
