Introduce new config option, which is used to replace repeating
CONFIG_MEMCG && !CONFIG_SLOB pattern. Next patches add a little more
memcg+kmem related code, so let's keep the defines more clearly.

"Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request from me:
- Host large page support for KVM guests. As the patches have large
impact on arch/s390/mm/ this series goes out via both the KVM and
the s390 tree.
- Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode"
menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot
code.
- A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier
for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed
image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For
debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used.
- Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy
plugin is solved with the early boot code rework.
- More spectre relates changes:
+ Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically.
+ Add expolines to a few more indirect branches.
- A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them
consumable by 'perf stat'.
- Add support for format-3 PCI function measurement blocks.
- Changes for the zcrypt driver:
+ Add attributes to indicate the load of cards and queues.
+ Restructure some code for the upcoming AP device support in KVM.
- Build flags improvements in various Makefiles.
- A few fixes for the kdump support.
- A couple of patches for gcc 8 compile warning cleanup.
- Cleanup s390 specific proc handlers.
- Add s390 support to the restartable sequence self tests.

Instead of duplicating the source statements in every architecture just
do it once in the toplevel Kconfig file.
Note that with this the inclusion of arch/$(SRCARCH/Kconfig moves out of
the top-level Kconfig into arch/Kconfig so that don't violate ordering
constraits while keeping a sensible menu structure.

In Fedora, the debug information is packaged separately (foo-debuginfo) and
can be installed separately. There's been a long standing issue where only
one version of a debuginfo info package can be installed at a time. There's
been an effort for Fedora for parallel debuginfo to rectify this problem.
Part of the requirement to allow parallel debuginfo to work is that build ids
are unique between builds. The existing upstream rpm implementation ensures
this by re-calculating the build-id using the version and release as a
seed. This doesn't work 100% for the kernel because of the vDSO which is
its own binary and doesn't get updated when embedded.
Fix this by adding some data in an ELF note for both the kernel and modules.
The data is controlled via a Kconfig option so distributions can set it
to an appropriate value to ensure uniqueness between builds.

Add "None" as the kernel compression mode.
This option is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully slow.
Uncompressed kernel implementation might allow early boot code to skip the
decompressor and jump right at uncompressed kernel image entry point.
Platforms implementing that should define HAVE_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED.

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace
memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two
purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the
current CPU number value from user-space.
* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)
Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.
The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.
Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.
Test hardware:
arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core
x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading
The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread.
* Per-CPU statistic counter increment
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 344.0 31.4 11.0
x86-64: 15.3 2.0 7.7
* LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer
per-cpu buffer
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 2502.0 2250.0 1.1
x86-64: 117.4 98.0 1.2
* liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word
getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup
arm32: 751.0 128.5 5.8
x86-64: 53.4 28.6 1.9
* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq
Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):
The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.
* Reading the current CPU number
Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.
Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:
- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.
On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.
Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:
ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns
- getcpu system call: 234.9 ns
x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns
- getcpu system call: 53.9 ns
- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)
Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:
Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.
* CONFIG_RSEQ=n
avg.: 41.37 s
std.dev.: 0.36 s
* CONFIG_RSEQ=y
avg.: 40.46 s
std.dev.: 0.33 s
- Size
On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

Now that 'shell' function is supported, this can be self-contained in

To get access to environment variables, Kconfig needs to define a
symbol using "option env=" syntax. It is tedious to add a symbol entry
for each environment variable given that we need to define much more
such as 'CC', 'AS', 'srctree' etc. to evaluate the compiler capability
in Kconfig.
Adding '$' for symbol references is grammatically inconsistent.
Looking at the code, the symbols prefixed with 'S' are expanded by:
- conf_expand_value()
This is used to expand 'arch/$ARCH/defconfig' and 'defconfig_list'
- sym_expand_string_value()
This is used to expand strings in 'source' and 'mainmenu'
All of them are fixed values independent of user configuration. So,
they can be changed into the direct expansion instead of symbols.
This change makes the code much cleaner. The bounce symbols 'SRCARCH',
'ARCH', 'SUBARCH', 'KERNELVERSION' are gone.
sym_init() hard-coding 'UNAME_RELEASE' is also gone. 'UNAME_RELEASE'
should be replaced with an environment variable.
ARCH_DEFCONFIG is a normal symbol, so it should be simply referenced
without '$' prefix.
The new syntax is addicted by Make. The variable reference needs
parentheses, like $(FOO), but you can omit them for single-letter
variables, like $F. Yet, in Makefiles, people tend to use the
parenthetical form for consistency / clarification.
At this moment, only the environment variable is supported, but I will
extend the concept of 'variable' later on.
The variables are expanded in the lexer so we can simplify the token
handling on the parser side.
For example, the following code works.
[Example code]
config MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST
string
default "My tools: CC=$(CC), AS=$(AS), CPP=$(CPP)"
[Result]
$ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config
CONFIG_MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST="My tools: CC=gcc, AS=as, CPP=gcc -E"

Kbuild provides a couple of ways to specify CROSS_COMPILE:
[1] Command line
[2] Environment
[3] arch/*/Makefile (only some architectures)
[4] CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE
[4] is problematic for the compiler capability tests in Kconfig.
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE allows users to change the compiler prefix from
'make menuconfig', etc. It means, the compiler options would have
to be all re-calculated everytime CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE is changed.
To avoid complexity and performance issues, I'd like to evaluate
the shell commands statically, i.e. only parsing Kconfig files.
I guess the majority is [1] or [2]. Currently, there are only
5 defconfig files that specify CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE.

Currently, we cannot parse build_id in nmi context because of
up_read(¤t->mm->mmap_sem), this makes stackmap with build_id
less useful. This patch enables parsing build_id in nmi by putting
the up_read() call in irq_work. To avoid memory allocation in nmi
context, we use per cpu variable for the irq_work. As a result, only
one irq_work per cpu is allowed. If the irq_work is in-use, we
fallback to only report ips.

It may be useful for an architecture to override the definitions of the

to define the macros mentioned above. Moreover, as the syscall calling
convention may be different if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is set,
the compat syscall function prototypes in <linux/compat.h> are #ifndef'd

As some of the syscalls and/or compat syscalls may not be present,
the COND_SYSCALL() and COND_SYSCALL_COMPAT() macros in kernel/sys_ni.c
as well as the SYS_NI() and COMPAT_SYS_NI() macros in
kernel/time/posix-stubs.c can be re-defined in <asm/syscall_wrapper.h> iff
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is enabled.

PC/104 device driver Kconfig options previously had an implicit EXPERT
dependency by way of an explicit ISA_BUS_API dependency. Now that these
driver Kconfig options select ISA_BUS_API rather than depend on it, the
PC104 Kconfig option should have an explicit EXPERT dependency.
The PC/104 form factor and bus architecture are common in embedded
and specialized systems, but uncommon in typical desktop setups. For
this reason, it is best to mask these devices and configurations via the
EXPERT Kconfig option because the majority of users will never need to
concern themselves with PC/104.

Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
by JIT.
Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.
Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.
Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:
It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.
It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.
Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

pull-request: bpf 2018-01-09
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Prevent out-of-bounds speculation in BPF maps by masking the
index after bounds checks in order to fix spectre v1, and
add an option BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON into Kconfig that allows for
removing the BPF interpreter from the kernel in favor of
JIT-only mode to make spectre v2 harder, from Alexei.
2) Remove false sharing of map refcount with max_entries which
was used in spectre v1, from Daniel.
3) Add a missing NULL psock check in sockmap in order to fix
a race, from John.
4) Fix test_align BPF selftest case since a recent change in
verifier rejects the bit-wise arithmetic on pointers
earlier but test_align update was missing, from Alexei.

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.
A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."
To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64
The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden
v2->v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)
v1->v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next
Considered doing:
int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

On uniprocessor systems, critical and non-critical tasks cannot be
isolated, as there is only a single CPU core. Hence enabling CPU
isolation by default on such systems does not make much sense.
Instead of changing the default for !SMP, fix this by making the feature
depend on SMP, with an override for compile-testing. Note that its sole
selector (NO_HZ_FULL) already depends on SMP.
This decreases kernel size for a default uniprocessor kernel by ca. 1 KiB.

The "isolcpus=" boot parameter support was always built-in before we
moved the related code under CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. Having it disabled by
default is very confusing for people accustomed to use this parameter.
So enable it by dafault to keep the previous behaviour but keep it
optable for those who want to tinify their kernels.

We want to centralize the isolation management, done by the housekeeping
subsystem. Therefore we need to handle the nohz_full= parameter from
there.
Since nohz_full= so far has involved unbound timers, watchdog, RCU
and tilegx NAPI isolation, we keep that default behaviour.
nohz_full= will be deprecated in the future. We want to control
the isolation features from the isolcpus= parameter.

housekeeping code still deals with NOHZ internals.

The choice containing the CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE symbol
accidentally added a "CONFIG_" prefix when trying to make it the
default, selecting an undefined symbol as the default.
The mistake is harmless here: Since the default symbol is not visible,
the choice falls back on using the visible symbol as the default
instead, which is CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE, as intended.

This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX
based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the
original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX
code.
This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.
A recent example of the attack is written up here:
http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit
and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".
This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.
With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:
before:
mean 10.11882499999999999995
variance .03320378329145728642
stdev .18221905304181911048
after:
mean 10.12654000000000000014
variance .04700556623115577889
stdev .21680767106160192064
The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building
arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear:
kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here
kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here
The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign
of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in
the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in
init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU:
default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU
If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if
CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU,
as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors.
This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture
forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c.
This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is
at it) with SRCU, like this:
default y if SRCU && !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU

The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"Several noteworthy changes.
- Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight
forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma
constructs used by different cgroups.
- kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created
kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files
under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for
backporting patches but was long overdue.
- cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer
depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire
result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so
this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing
functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which
have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway.
- perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This
patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the
cracks.
- misc fixes asnd documentation updates"

SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.
Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.
What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.
This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel
where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:
- introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS
- adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
as references into the .rodata section
- making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols
by the section index (SHN_ABS)
- making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix

RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing
synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot
process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there
is no need worry about real time latency at this point.
Therefore make it default.
Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when
bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the
rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

warning: (CGROUP_BPF) selects SOCK_CGROUP_DATA which has unmet direct dependencies (NET)
I don't know what the correct solution for this is, but simply removing
the dependency on NET from SOCK_CGROUP_DATA by moving it out of the

Added rdma cgroup controller that does accounting, limit enforcement
on rdma/IB resources.
Added rdma cgroup header file which defines its APIs to perform
charging/uncharging functionality. It also defined APIs for RDMA/IB
stack for device registration. Devices which are registered will
participate in controller functions of accounting and limit
enforcements. It define rdmacg_device structure to bind IB stack
and RDMA cgroup controller.
RDMA resources are tracked using resource pool. Resource pool is per
device, per cgroup entity which allows setting up accounting limits
on per device basis.
Currently resources are defined by the RDMA cgroup.
Resource pool is created/destroyed dynamically whenever
charging/uncharging occurs respectively and whenever user
configuration is done. Its a tradeoff of memory vs little more code
space that creates resource pool object whenever necessary, instead of
creating them during cgroup creation and device registration time.

Couple conflicts resolved here:
1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the

2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.
3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
and reorganized in 'net-next'.
4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
tc_skip_sw().
5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
unrelated changes in 'net-next'.
6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no
longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do
other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks.

This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC
information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils
versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26
seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of
symbols that have been defined in assembler files.
[ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that
just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new
version of binutils ]
Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today
does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the
option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules
across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for
the annoying problem.

This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup.
One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such
that are effective for it.
To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example
cgroup hierarchy.
A - B - C
\ D - E
If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D
and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for
both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one
program of a given type is effective for a cgroup.
Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2)
syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the
only supported use-cases.

Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about
25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out.
Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm.
The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast
majority of use cases with very little code.

Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of
readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the
context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to
prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is
generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock.
The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for
delegating the wakeup to another context.
commit 7c9cb38302
Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net>
Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700
relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work
relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers
when a simple timer will do.
Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup
causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes
relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the
data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting
filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every
newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub
buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap
between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub
buffers to store the new data.
By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked
in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer
tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes
relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use
irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first
entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no
purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and
thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct.

the symbols unused by any in-tree modules actually built. If you've

Doing patches with allmodconfig kernel compiled and committing stuff
into local tree have unfortunate consequence: kernel version changes (as
it should) leading to recompiling and relinking of several files even if
they weren't touched (or interesting at all). This and "git-whatever"
figuring out current version slow down compilation for no good reason.
But lets face it, "allmodconfig" kernels don't care about kernel
version, they are simply compile check guinea pigs.
Make LOCALVERSION_AUTO depend on !COMPILE_TEST, so it doesn't sneak into
allmodconfig .config.

UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma. That means a
lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM.
s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is
the only stranger.
We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window
just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds. One could argue that a
decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing
HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug. But the dependency not
obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when
developing a device driver.
A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be
providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon
runtime. Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML. Since
it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support
let's do the latter.

Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was
previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same
configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM).
The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The
order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for
performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist.
This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB
allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable.
For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap:
- Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU)
- Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95)
Performance results:
slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts
without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall
impact on the system is way lower.

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.
On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is
done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU.
On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a
while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This
can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use
the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.
Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB
temporary buffer that is used in NMI context. The warnings are gone
when I double the temporary buffer size.
This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable.
Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation
that was added by the commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI
stack trace on all CPUs"). Nobody noticed it because it did not print
any warnings.

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

Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize
the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a
new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed
at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized
freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are
generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability
of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks
much less stable.
For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB)
would be affected:
https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/
Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It
means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly
discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple
use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too.
To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of
entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function
will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift
random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.
The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will
be extended to other allocators like SLUB.
Performance results highlighted no major changes:
Hackbench (running 90 10 times):
Before average: 0.0698
After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%)
slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test
being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New
slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.
Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few
allocations.

CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disables the often useful -Wmaybe-unused warning,
because that causes a ridiculous amount of false positives when combined
with -Os.
This means a lot of warnings don't show up in testing by the developers
that should see them with an 'allmodconfig' kernel that has
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled, but only later in randconfig builds
that don't.
This changes the Kconfig logic around CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE to make
it a 'choice' statement defaulting to CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE
that gets added for this purpose. The allmodconfig and allyesconfig
kernels now default to -O2 with the maybe-unused warning enabled.

Newer Fedora and OpenSUSE didn't boot with my standard configuration.
It took me some time to figure out why, in fact I had to write a script
to try different config options systematically.
The problem is that something (systemd) in dracut depends on
CONFIG_FHANDLE, which adds open by file handle syscalls.
While it is set in defconfigs it is very easy to miss when updating
older configs because it is not default y.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.
- Misc non-critical fixes and improvements"

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.
On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.
Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.
Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

Move the RSA EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding from the asymmetric-key public_key
subtype to the rsa crypto module's pkcs1pad template. This means that the
public_key subtype no longer has any dependencies on public key type.
To make this work, the following changes have been made:
(1) The rsa pkcs1pad template is now used for RSA keys. This strips off the
padding and returns just the message hash.
(2) In a previous patch, the pkcs1pad template gained an optional second
parameter that, if given, specifies the hash used. We now give this,
and pkcs1pad checks the encoded message E(M) for the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5
encoding and verifies that the correct digest OID is present.
(3) The crypto driver in crypto/asymmetric_keys/rsa.c is now reduced to
something that doesn't care about what the encryption actually does
and and has been merged into public_key.c.
(4) CONFIG_PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA is gone. Module signing must set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_RSA=y instead.
Thoughts:
(*) Should the encoding style (eg. raw, EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5) also be passed to
the padding template? Should there be multiple padding templates
registered that share most of the code?

Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if
module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable. This
leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then
only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop
the other CPUs or run the callback on them.
For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since
ea8596bb2d ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and
text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the
boot CPU.
This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP
and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for
the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the
process.

Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:
* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
- DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
- Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
- Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
- User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
- Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
- Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
- Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)
Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().
* Direct users of sys_membarrier
- core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)
Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.
To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:
Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())
In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".
Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:
Thread A Thread B
previous mem accesses previous mem accesses
smp_mb() smp_mb()
following mem accesses following mem accesses
After the change, these pairs become:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).
1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
prev mem accesses
barrier()
follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.
2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().
* Benchmarks
On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)
1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.
* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library
Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.
Results in liburcu:
Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:
memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes
sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes
The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.
Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.
An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.
This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2)
NAME
membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/membarrier.h>
int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The cmd argument is one of the following:
MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
supported commands.
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.
Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
accesses to user-space addresses match program order between
entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads
are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
cesses running on the system. This command returns 0.
The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.
All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted
thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier,
and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
barrier() X X O
smp_mb() X O O
sys_membarrier() O O O
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
same value until reboot.
ERRORS
ENOSYS System call is not implemented.
EINVAL Invalid arguments.

Documentation/features/vm: add feature description and arch support status for batched TLB flush after unmap
mm: defer flush of writable TLB entries
mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
...
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

The revised sign-file program is no longer a script that wraps the openssl
program, but now rather a program that makes use of OpenSSL's crypto
library. This means that to build the sign-file program, the kernel build
process now has a dependency on the OpenSSL development packages in
addition to OpenSSL itself.

Let the user explicitly provide a file containing trusted keys, instead of

The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is
a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel
make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other
target as a side-effect that make didn't predict.
So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains
both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an
external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also
slightly cleaner.

Move to using PKCS#7 messages as module signatures because:
(1) We have to be able to support the use of X.509 certificates that don't
have a subjKeyId set. We're currently relying on this to look up the
X.509 certificate in the trusted keyring list.
(2) PKCS#7 message signed information blocks have a field that supplies the
data required to match with the X.509 certificate that signed it.
(3) The PKCS#7 certificate carries fields that specify the digest algorithm
used to generate the signature in a standardised way and the X.509
certificates specify the public key algorithm in a standardised way - so
we don't need our own methods of specifying these.
(4) We now have PKCS#7 message support in the kernel for signed kexec purposes
and we can make use of this.
To make this work, the old sign-file script has been replaced with a program
that needs compiling in a previous patch. The rules to build it are added
here.

Adds a new single-purpose PIDs subsystem to limit the number of
tasks that can be forked inside a cgroup. Essentially this is an
implementation of RLIMIT_NPROC that applies to a cgroup rather than a
process tree.
However, it should be noted that organisational operations (adding and
removing tasks from a PIDs hierarchy) will *not* be prevented. Rather,
the number of tasks in the hierarchy cannot exceed the limit through
forking. This is due to the fact that, in the unified hierarchy, attach
cannot fail (and it is not possible for a task to overcome its PIDs
cgroup policy limit by attaching to a child cgroup -- even if migrating
mid-fork it must be able to fork in the parent first).
PIDs are fundamentally a global resource, and it is possible to reach
PID exhaustion inside a cgroup without hitting any reasonable kmemcg
policy. Once you've hit PID exhaustion, you're only in a marginally
better state than OOM. This subsystem allows PID exhaustion inside a
cgroup to be prevented.

Commit 818411616b ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt. The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process. I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.
This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it. This allows enabling
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.
Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

- x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)
- x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)
There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
few select highlights:
'perf bench':
- Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)
'perf top', 'perf report':
- Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support glob wildcards for function name
- Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
- Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
- Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
- Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
- Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.
'perf sched':
- Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)
Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
and fixes and other improvements. See (much) more details in the
shortlog and in the git log"

The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes. This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.
This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper. This patch converts one-to-one.
This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

On powerpc the perf event interrupt is not masked when interrupts are
disabled, allowing it to function as an NMI.
This causes problems if perf is using vmalloc. If we take a page fault
on the vmalloc region the fault handler will fail the page fault because
it detects we are coming in from an NMI (see do_hash_page()).
We don't actually need or want vmalloc backed perf so just disable it on
powerpc.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only
dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes,
without which it will fail to build with:
In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0:
kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’:
kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’
unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion;
[...]
It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now
BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL
more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT.
If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing
gateway as well.
We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although
I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of
an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

This commit adds a CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT Kconfig parameter
that emulates a very early boot rcu_expedite_gp(). A late-boot
call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot() will provide the corresponding
rcu_unexpedite_gp(). The late-boot call to rcu_end_inkernel_boot()
should be made just before init is spawned.

Pull misc kbuild changes from Michal Marek:
"Just a few non-critical kbuild changes:
- builddeb adds the actual distribution name in the changelog
- documentation fixes"
* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: trivial - fix the help doc of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
kbuild: Update documentation of clean-files and clean-dirs
builddeb: Try to determine distribution
builddeb: Update year and git repository URL in debian/copyright
CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK adds config bloat without an obvious use case that
makes it worth keeping around. Delete it.

Recent testing has shown that under heavy load, running RCU's grace-period
kthreads at real-time priority can improve performance (according to 0day
test robot) and reduce the incidence of RCU CPU stall warnings. However,
most systems do just fine with the default non-realtime priorities for
these kthreads, and it does not make sense to expose the entire user
base to any risk stemming from this change, given that this change is
of use only to a few users running extremely heavy workloads.
Therefore, this commit allows users to specify realtime priorities
for the grace-period kthreads, but leaves them running SCHED_OTHER
by default. The realtime priority may be specified at build time
via the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig parameter, or at boot time via the
rcutree.kthread_prio parameter. Either way, 0 says to continue the
default SCHED_OTHER behavior and values from 1-99 specify that priority
of SCHED_FIFO behavior. Note that a value of 0 is not permitted when
the RCU_BOOST Kconfig parameter is specified.

Other than GCC, we have another choice, Clang for building the kernel
these days. It seems better to say "compiler" rather than "gcc".
