The OpenRISC compiler (so far) fails to optimize away a large portion of code containing a reference to posix_timer_event in alarmtimer.c when CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS is unset. Let's give it a direct clue to let the build succeed. This fixes [linux-next:master 6682/7183] alarmtimer.c:undefined reference to `posix_timer_event' reported by kbuild test robot. Signed-off-by:

When LONG_MIN is passed to msgrcv, one would expect to recieve any message. But convert_mode does *msgtyp = -*msgtyp and -LONG_MIN is undefined. In particular, with my gcc -LONG_MIN produces -LONG_MIN again. So handle this case properly by assigning LONG_MAX to *msgtyp if LONG_MIN was specified as msgtyp to msgrcv. This code: long msg[] = { 100, 200 }; int m = msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT | 0644); msgsnd(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), 0); msgrcv(m, &msg, sizeof(msg), LONG_MIN, 0); produces currently nothing: msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644) = 65538 msgsnd(65538, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0 msgrcv(65538, ...

Choosing the appropriate compression option when using an embedded initramfs can result in significant size differences in the resulting data. This is caused by avoiding double compression of the initramfs contents. For example on my tests, choosing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE when compressing the kernel using XZ) results in up to 500KiB differences (9MiB to 8.5MiB) in the kernel size as the dictionary will not get polluted with uncomprensible data and may reuse kernel data too. Despite embedding an uncompressed initramfs, a user may want to allow for a compressed extra initramfs to be passed using the rd system, for example to boot a recovery system. 9ba4bcb6 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") broke that behavior by making the choice based on CONFIG_RD_* instead of adding CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4. Saddly, CONFIG_RD_* is also used to choose the supported RD compression algorithms by the kernel and a user may want to support more than one. This patch also reverts commit 3e4e0f0a ("initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice") restoring back the "compression mode" choice and includes the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 option which was never added. As a result the following options are added or readed affecting the embedded initramfs compression: INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE Do no compression INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP Compress using gzip INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2 Compress using bzip2 INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA Compress using lzma INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ Compress using xz INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZO Compress using lzo INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 Compress using lz4 These depend on the corresponding CONFIG_RD_* option being set (except NONE which has no dependencies). This patch depends on the previous one (the previous version didn't) to simplify the way in which the algorithm is chosen and keep backwards compatibility with the behaviour introduced by 9ba4bcb6 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression").

kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack(). vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the trap. But this approach is racy, for example: CPU1 CPU2 vkdb_printf() // assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0 saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk = 0; kdb_show_stack() kdb_trap_printk++; Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf() even when it should have been disabled. It will not cause a deadlock but... // using the outdated saved value: 0 kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk--; Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this. It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from now on. This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU. The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But this problem existed even with the original code. A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the effort, though. In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter(). The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for the other CPUs to report to the holding pen. Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf() explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk() recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.

kdb_printf_lock does not prevent other CPUs from entering the critical section because it is ignored when KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is set. The problematic situation might look like: CPU0 CPU1 vkdb_printf() if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK)) KDB_STATE_SET(PRINTF_LOCK); spin_lock_irqsave(&kdb_printf_lock, flags); vkdb_printf() if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK)) BANG: The PRINTF_LOCK state is set and CPU1 is entering the critical section without spinning on the lock. The problem is that the code tries to implement locking using two state variables that are not handled atomically. Well, we need a custom locking because we want to allow reentering the critical section on the very same CPU. Let's use solution from Petr Zijlstra that was proposed for a similar scenario, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161018171513.734367391@infradead.org This patch uses the same trick with cmpxchg(). The only difference is that we want to handle only recursion from the same context and therefore we disable interrupts. In addition, KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is removed. In fact, we are not able to set it a non-racy way.

kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel code. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original implementation. But this check never went upstream. The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or outside the locked area. Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could simply remove the state variable.

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite common to see things like this in the boot log: Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000) In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the kdb> prompt was written. Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted) but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.

Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. The advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet. In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains will be more noticeable.

The ARM architecture provides a mechanism for deferring cache line invalidation in the case of map/unmap. This patch makes use of this mechanism to avoid unnecessary synchronization. A secondary effect of this change is that the portion of the page that has been synchronized for use by the CPU should be writable and could be passed up the stack (at least on ARM). The last bit that occurred to me is that on architectures where the sync_for_cpu call invalidates cache lines we were prefetching and then invalidating the first 128 bytes of the packet. To avoid that I have moved the sync up to before we perform the prefetch and allocate the skbuff so that we can actually make use of it.

Add a function that allows us to batch free a page that has multiple references outstanding. Specifically this function can be used to drop a page being used in the page frag alloc cache. With this drivers can make use of functionality similar to the page frag alloc cache without having to do any workarounds for the fact that there is no function that frees multiple references.

Add support for mapping and unmapping a page with attributes. The primary use for this is currently to allow for us to pass the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute when mapping and unmapping a page. On some architectures such as ARM the synchronization has significant overhead and if we are already taking care of the sync_for_cpu and sync_for_device from the driver there isn't much need to handle this in the map/unmap calls as well.

Patch series "Add support for DMA writable pages being writable by the network stack", v3. The first 19 patches in the set add support for the DMA attribute DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC on multiple platforms/architectures. This is needed so that we can flag the calls to dma_map/unmap_page so that we do not invalidate cache lines that do not currently belong to the device. Instead we have to take care of this in the driver via a call to sync_single_range_for_cpu prior to freeing the Rx page. Patch 20 adds support for dma_map_page_attrs and dma_unmap_page_attrs so that we can unmap and map a page using the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute. Patch 21 adds support for freeing a page that has multiple references being held by a single caller. This way we can free page fragments that were allocated by a given driver. The last 2 patches use these updates in the igb driver, and lay the groundwork to allow for us to reimplement the use of build_skb. This patch (of 23): This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it later via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

Currently in x86_64, the symbol address of phys_base is exported to vmcoreinfo. Dave Anderson complained this is really useless for his Crash implementation. Because in user-space utility Crash and Makedumpfile which exported vmcore information is mainly used for, value of phys_base is needed to covert virtual address of exported kernel symbol to physical address. Especially init_level4_pgt, if we want to access and go over the page table to look up a PA corresponding to VA, firstly we need calculate page_dir = SYMBOL(init_level4_pgt) - __START_KERNEL_map + phys_base; Now in Crash and Makedumpfile, we have to analyze the vmcore elf program header to get value of phys_base. As Dave said, it would be preferable if it were readily availabl in vmcoreinfo rather than depending upon the PT_LOAD semantics. Hence in this patch change to export the value of phys_base instead of its virtual address. And people also complained that KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE exporting is x86_64 only, should be moved into arch dependent function arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo. Do the moving in this patch.
