Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
"The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
IDR & IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
efficient, an IDR & IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
(and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.
The IDR & IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
same way twice"
Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
"The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.
Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
lines waiting for 4.12)
It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and
x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific
because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

Commit 4a9d4b024a ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.
This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
and discussed at lkml[1].
- Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.
The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
would cause a deadlock.
Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
were hidden before[3][4].
- Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
change.

The IDR is very similar to the radix tree. It has some functionality that
the radix tree did not have (alloc next free, cyclic allocation, a
callback-based for_each, destroy tree), which is readily implementable on
top of the radix tree. A few small changes were needed in order to use a
tag to represent nodes with free space below them. More extensive
changes were needed to support storing NULL as a valid entry in an IDR.
Plain radix trees still interpret NULL as a not-present entry.
The IDA is reimplemented as a client of the newly enhanced radix tree. As
in the current implementation, it uses a bitmap at the last level of the
tree.

These files were including module.h for exception table related
functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file
"extable.h" so now move over to that and where possible, avoid all
the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to
compile these non-modular files.
Note:
init/main.c still needs module.h for __init_or_module
kernel/extable.c still needs module.h for is_module_text_address
...and so we don't get the benefit of removing module.h from the cpp
feed for these two files, unlike the almost universal 1:1 exchange
of module.h for extable.h we were able to do in the arch dirs.

Before invoking the arch specific handler, efi_mem_reserve() reserves
the given memory region through memblock.
efi_bgrt_init() will call efi_mem_reserve() after mm_init(), at which
time memblock is dead and should not be used anymore.
The EFI BGRT code depends on ACPI initialization to get the BGRT ACPI
table, so move parsing of the BGRT table to ACPI early boot code to
ensure that efi_mem_reserve() in EFI BGRT code still use memblock safely.

Delay switching to the stable path until after SMP bringup is

Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.
This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.
The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.
Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

* The rodata= cmdline parameter has been extended to additionally
apply to module mappings
* Fix a hard to hit race between module loader error/clean up
handling and ftrace registration
* Some code cleanups, notably panic.c and modules code use a
unified taint_flags table now. This is much cleaner than
duplicating the taint flag code in modules.c

AMD CPUs affected by the E400 erratum suffer from the issue that the
local APIC timer stops when the CPU goes into C1E. Unfortunately there
is no way to detect the affected CPUs on early boot. It's only possible
to determine the range of possibly affected CPUs from the family/model
range.
The actual decision whether to enter C1E and thus cause the bug is done
by the firmware and we need to detect that case late, after ACPI has
been initialized.
The current solution is to check in the idle routine whether the CPU is
affected by reading the MSR_K8_INT_PENDING_MSG MSR and checking for the
K8_INTP_C1E_ACTIVE_MASK bits. If one of the bits is set then the CPU is
affected and the system is switched into forced broadcast mode.
This is ineffective and on non-affected CPUs every entry to idle does
the extra RDMSR.
After doing some research it turns out that the bits are visible on the
boot CPU right after the ACPI subsystem is initialized in the early
boot process. So instead of polling for the bits in the idle loop, add
a detection function after acpi_subsystem_init() and check for the MSR
bits. If set, then the X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is set on the boot CPU and
the TSC is marked unstable when X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC is not set as it
will stop in C1E state as well.
The switch to broadcast mode cannot be done at this point because the
boot CPU still uses HPET as a clockevent device and the local APIC timer
is not yet calibrated and installed. The switch to broadcast mode on the
affected CPUs needs to be done when the local APIC timer is actually set
up.
This allows to cleanup the amd_e400_idle() function in the next step.

This patch is a logical extension to module mappings ie. read-only mappings
at module loading can be disabled even if CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
(mainly for debug use). Please note, however, that it only affects RO/RW

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).
To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.
Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.

Workqueue is currently initialized in an early init call; however,
there are cases where early boot code has to be split and reordered to
come after workqueue initialization or the same code path which makes
use of workqueues is used both before workqueue initailization and
after. The latter cases have to gate workqueue usages with
keventd_up() tests, which is nasty and easy to get wrong.
Workqueue usages have become widespread and it'd be a lot more
convenient if it can be used very early from boot. This patch splits
workqueue initialization into two steps. workqueue_init_early() which
sets up the basic data structures so that workqueues can be created
and work items queued, and workqueue_init() which actually brings up
workqueues online and starts executing queued work items. The former
step can be done very early during boot once memory allocation,
cpumasks and idr are initialized. The latter right after kthreads
become available.
This allows work item queueing and canceling from very early boot
which is what most of these use cases want.
* As systemd_wq being initialized doesn't indicate that workqueue is
fully online anymore, update keventd_up() to test wq_online instead.
The follow-up patches will get rid of all its usages and the
function itself.
* Flushing doesn't make sense before workqueue is fully initialized.
The flush functions trigger WARN and return immediately before fully
online.
* Work items are never in-flight before fully online. Canceling can
always succeed by skipping the flush step.
* Some code paths can no longer assume to be called with irq enabled
as irq is disabled during early boot. Use irqsave/restore
operations instead.
v2: Watchdog init, which requires timer to be running, moved from
workqueue_init_early() to workqueue_init().

We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
from the task struct), but that is about to change.
But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
freeing functions are.
Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That
identity then meant that we would have things like
ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
...
tsk->stack = ti;
which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
just gets to be entirely bogus.
So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the
allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
allocation itself.
This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
just that we clarify what the pointer means.
The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
type change.

Using kasprintf to get the function name makes us look up the name
twice, along with all the vsnprintf overhead of parsing the format
string etc. It also means there is an allocation failure case to deal
with. Since symbol_string in vsprintf.c would anyway allocate an array
of size KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN on the stack, that might as well be done up
here.
Moreover, since this is a debug feature and the blacklisted_initcalls
list is usually empty, we might as well test that and thus avoid looking
up the symbol name even once in the common case.

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
handling of read-only kernel memory:
- extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
after that point.
This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
(by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
- make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.
This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest
affinity and this is partly why we use khelper. This workqueue has
unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children.
Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in:
ordered and singlethread. There is really no need about ordering as all
we do is creating kernel threads. This can be done concurrently. And
singlethread is a useless limitation as well.
The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that
don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs.
The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current
CPU. It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those
inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules.
This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming
that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper
requests.

Dave Hansen reported the following;
My laptop has been behaving strangely with 4.2-rc2. Once I log
in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors
from applications and see this in my dmesg:
VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached
The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully
initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using. This
patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation. Note
that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this
problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add.
4.1: files_stat.max_files = 6582781
4.2-rc2: files_stat.max_files = 8192
4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467
Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.
