Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin: "This series does several related things: - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use. (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case) - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the above. - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two 32-bit multiplies will do well enough. - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32. This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()") The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for 32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified" multipliers. The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those patches are last in the series. - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing. The patch in commit 0fed3ac8 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion. Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!) - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to. - Sort out partial_name_hash(). The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things: - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long) rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other than full_name_hash" Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.) On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from the H8/300 world" * 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux: h8300: Add <asm/hash.h> microblaze: Add <asm/hash.h> m68k: Add <asm/hash.h> <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions fs/namei.c: Improve dcache hash function Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64() Change hash_64() return value to 32 bits <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function Pull out string hash to <linux/stringhash.h>

This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will still be bad in surrounding code. Designing H8-specific hash algorithms to work around that is a separate project. (But if the maintainers would like to get in touch...)

Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways. If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32() will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop. Instead, use a shift-and-add sequence for the constant multiply. GCC knows how to do this, but it's not as clever as some.

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet. This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares the existence of <asm/hash.h>. That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones. Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics. It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with the value 1, then equality is tested.

Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86) each loop iteration. Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel), and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid slowing it down. There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that: 1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and 2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and 3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations. One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much. The key insights in this design are: 1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like. 2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three instructions. 3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state. With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster. 4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing; we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible. 5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing in fewer cycles. I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration (assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction): x ^= *input++; y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1); x += y; y = ROL(y, K2); y *= 9; Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible: if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at least 3 words of input are required to create a collision. (It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that it hashes all-zero to all-zero.) The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score. The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y, trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits), so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the shifts is odd and not too close to the word size. The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic before the hash value is used for anything. (Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6. To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified" multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32 for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition.

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return type of hash_long() consistent. It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation of hash_64 on 32-bit machines. I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code. Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash(). Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash(). (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!) This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for more than 32 bits of output. The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash() is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now, but will be improved greatly later in the series.

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own, and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required for that. (The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.) It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name(). Other uses in the next patch. full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful: 1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to be consistent with hash_name(). 2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want to make them worry about corner cases. Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@sciencehorizons.net>

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is the second group of code for the 4.7 merge window. It looks large, but only in one sense. I'll get to that in a minute. The list of changes here breaks down as follows: - Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the hardware counters RDMA devices might support so drivers don't need to code this up repeatedly themselves - SendOnlyFullMember multicast support - IB router support - A couple misc fixes - The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1 driver out of staging There was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had in the first pull request but they weren't. So that added to the length of the hfi1 section here. As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight forward. The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion. The write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications. The writev interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures. The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely different event mechanism. With the security patch, we put security checks on the write interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon. Now, we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications. With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to the list later). As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area. Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that), the line count, especially the removal count, is high" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (56 commits) staging/rdma: Remove the entire rdma subdirectory of staging IB/core: Make device counter infrastructure dynamic IB/hfi1: Fix pio map initialization IB/hfi1: Correct 8051 link parameter settings IB/hfi1: Update pkey table properly after link down or FM start IB/rdamvt: Fix rdmavt s_ack_queue sizing IB/rdmavt: Max atomic value should be a u8 IB/hfi1: Fix hard lockup due to not using save/restore spin lock IB/hfi1: Add tracing support for send with invalidate opcode IB/hfi1, qib: Add ieth to the packet header definitions IB/hfi1: Move driver out of staging IB/hfi1: Do not free hfi1 cdev parent structure early IB/hfi1: Add trace message in user IOCTL handling IB/hfi1: Remove write(), use ioctl() for user cmds IB/hfi1: Add ioctl() interface for user commands IB/hfi1: Remove unused user command IB/hfi1: Remove snoop/diag interface IB/hfi1: Remove EPROM functionality from data device IB/hfi1: Remove UI char device IB/hfi1: Remove multiple device cdev ...

smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr() instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining it from dentry. Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e640. Unlike ->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of ->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately it got missed back then.

After initially connecting a wired Xbox 360 controller or sending it a command to change LEDs, a status/response packet is interpreted as controller input. This causes the state of buttons represented in byte 2 of the controller data packet to be incorrect until the next valid input packet. Wireless Xbox 360 controllers are not affected. Writing a new value to the LED device while holding the Start button and running jstest is sufficient to reproduce this bug. An event will come through with the Start button released. Xboxdrv also won't attempt to read controller input from a packet where byte 0 is non-zero. It also checks that byte 1 is 0x14, but that value differs between wired and wireless controllers and this code is shared by both. I think just checking byte 0 is enough to eliminate unwanted packets. The following are some examples of 3-byte status packets I saw: 01 03 02 02 03 00 03 03 03 08 03 00 Signed-off-by: Cameron Gutman <aicommander@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pavel Rojtberg <rojtberg@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

Now that the allmodconfig x86-64 build is clean wrt IS_ERR_VALUE() uses on integers, add a cast to a pointer and back to the argument, so that any new mis-uses of IS_ERR_VALUE() will cause warnings like warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] so that we don't re-introduce any bogus uses.

The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving like the mmap() interface does. However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion. What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer return of zero for success and negative error number on failure. So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention, and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk(). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long' argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an unsigned type. However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int' argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'. Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments. This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE() because there are probably still architecture specific users elsewhere. Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'. The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'. For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior. I was using this definition for testing: #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \ unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO)) which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument. I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion (fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus asked me to send the whole thing again.

When we have !NO_BOOTMEM, the deferred page struct initialization doesn't work well because the pages reserved in bootmem are released to the page allocator uncoditionally. It causes memory corruption and system crash eventually. As Mel suggested, the bootmem is retiring slowly. We fix the issue by simply hiding DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT when bootmem is enabled.

mem_cgroup_margin() might return (memory.limit - memory_count) when the memsw.limit is in excess. This doesn't happen usually because we do not allow excess on hard limits and (memory.limit <= memsw.limit), but __GFP_NOFAIL charges can force the charge and cause the excess when no memory is really swappable (swap is full or no anonymous memory is left).
