In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle - we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding: "The majority of these changes are cleanups and fixes across all drivers. Redundant error messages are removed and more PWM controllers set the .can_sleep flag to signal that they can't be used in atomic context. Support is added for the Broadcom Kona family of SoCs and the Intel LPSS driver can now probe PCI devices in addition to ACPI devices. Upon shutdown, the pwm-backlight driver will now power off the backlight. It also uses the new descriptor-based GPIO API for more concise GPIO handling. A large chunk of these changes also converts platforms to use the lookup mechanism rather than relying on the global number space to reference PWM devices. This is largely in preparation for more unification and cleanups in future patches. Eventually it will allow the legacy PWM API to be removed" * tag 'pwm/for-3.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm: (38 commits) pwm: fsl-ftm: set pwm_chip can_sleep flag pwm: ab8500: Fix wrong value shift for disable/enable PWM pwm: samsung: do not set manual update bit in pwm_samsung_config pwm: lp3943: Set pwm_chip can_sleep flag pwm: atmel: set pwm_chip can_sleep flag pwm: mxs: set pwm_chip can_sleep flag pwm: tiehrpwm: inline accessor functions pwm: tiehrpwm: don't build PM related functions when not needed pwm-backlight: retrieve configured PWM period leds: leds-pwm: retrieve configured PWM period ARM: pxa: hx4700: use PWM_LOOKUP to initialize struct pwm_lookup ARM: shmobile: armadillo: use PWM_LOOKUP to initialize struct pwm_lookup ARM: OMAP3: Beagle: use PWM_LOOKUP to initialize struct pwm_lookup pwm: modify PWM_LOOKUP to initialize all struct pwm_lookup members ARM: pxa: hx4700: initialize all the struct pwm_lookup members ARM: OMAP3: Beagle: initialize all the struct pwm_lookup members pwm: renesas-tpu: remove unused struct tpu_pwm_platform_data ARM: shmobile: armadillo: initialize all struct pwm_lookup members pwm: add period and polarity to struct pwm_lookup pwm: twl: Really disable twl6030 PWMs ...

2014-06-10Merge branch 'next' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack. There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I still want to sort through and test. The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly thanks to Anton and Rusty. We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for 64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This meant more churn that just endian fixes. This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes. There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!). Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of 4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM (the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread). And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..." [ Further delayed by gmail deciding that BenH is a dirty spammer. Google knows. ] * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (155 commits) powerpc/powernv: Add missing include to LPC code selftests/powerpc: Test the THP bug we fixed in the previous commit powerpc/mm: Check paca psize is up to date for huge mappings powerpc/powernv: Pass buffer size to OPAL validate flash call powerpc/pseries: hcall functions are exported to modules, need _GLOBAL_TOC() powerpc: Exported functions __clear_user and copy_page use r2 so need _GLOBAL_TOC() powerpc/powernv: Set memory_block_size_bytes to 256MB powerpc: Allow ppc_md platform hook to override memory_block_size_bytes powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues in memory error handling code powerpc/eeh: Skip eeh sysfs when eeh is disabled powerpc: 64bit sendfile is capped at 2GB powerpc/powernv: Provide debugfs access to the LPC bus via OPAL powerpc/serial: Use saner flags when creating legacy ports powerpc: Add cpu family documentation powerpc/xmon: Fix up xmon format strings powerpc/powernv: Add calls to support little endian host powerpc: Document sysfs DSCR interface powerpc: Fix regression of per-CPU DSCR setting powerpc: Split __SYSFS_SPRSETUP macro arch: powerpc/fadump: Cleaning up inconsistent NULL checks ...

2014-06-06mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecatedKirill A. Shutemov
The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear mapping, that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped into a nonsequential order in memory. The advantage of using remap_file_pages() over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the former approach does not require the kernel to create additional VMA (Virtual Memory Area) data structures. Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of non-trivial code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths. Also to get nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish normal page table entries from entries with file offset (pte_file). Kernel reserves flag in PTE for this purpose. PTE flags are scarce resource especially on some CPU architectures. It would be nice to free up the flag for other usage. Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild. It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the syscall on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into 32-bit virtual address space. This use-case is not critical anymore since 64-bit systems are widely available. The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation. The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is preserved. One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See comment for DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix spello] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2014-06-06vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcgMichal Hocko
Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg (origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory reclaim. This behavior was consistent (except for difference between global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be consistent within each memcg hierarchy. After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone. This can lead to an unexpected behavior. Say that a group is explicitly configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness. There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not necessarily about the memory limit. From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon vs. file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes from. This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into the scan_control structure. mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called. The global vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

2014-06-06sysctl: allow for strict write position handlingKees Cook
When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

2014-06-06kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after ↵Masami Hiramatsu
panic_notifers Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure (memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?). Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option. Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

Examples introducing neccesity of RMB+WMP pair reads as A=3 READ B www rrrrrr B=4 READ A Note the opposite order of reads vs writes. But the first example without barriers reads as A=3 READ A B=4 READ B There are 4 outcomes in the first example. But if someone new to the concept tries to insert barriers like this: A=3 READ A www rrrrrr B=4 READ B he will still get all 4 possible outcomes, because "READ A" is first.

Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic. When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is set, fall back to fat_read_static_bpb(). fat_read_static_bpb() validates that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header.

2014-06-04init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameterPrarit Bhargava
When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem. This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug. There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate. Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these scenarios. Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls> ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall foo_bar blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak printk text] Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Richard Weinberger <richard.weinberger@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Cc: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-06-04Documentation: expand/clarify debug documentationDan Streetman
The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. This isn't obvious, and the only way to find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact. Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX() macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug printing methods might be used. Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

2014-06-04Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt: clarify vfs_cache_pressure descriptionDenys Vlasenko
Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it. Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int? a percentage? what the scale is? As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously high values - because they thought there is no downside to it. Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a percentage. This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.

2014-06-04mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle ↵Naoya Horiguchi
SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag. However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to handler such signals. So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl() to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread. Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines. No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases. Tony said: : The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might : well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then : that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if : that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.
