2013-12-20mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) supportKirill A. Shutemov
Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being a transparent huge-table entry. The code - introduced in commit 1998cc048901 ("mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it turns out that that function doesn't work correctly. pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal development systems would never actually trigger this. Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation, and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly.

2013-12-18mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_rangeRik van Riel
There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

2013-12-11sched: Remove PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED from generic codePeter Zijlstra
While hunting a preemption issue with Alexander, Ben noticed that the currently generic PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED stuff is horribly broken for load-store architectures. We currently rely on the IPI to fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED into PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED, but when this IPI lands while we already have a load for the preempt-count but before the store, the store will erase the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED change. The current preempt-count only works on load-store archs because interrupts are assumed to be completely balanced wrt their preempt_count fiddling; the previous preempt_count load will match the preempt_count state after the interrupt and therefore nothing gets lost. This patch removes the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED usage from generic code and pushes it into x86 arch code; the generic code goes back to relying on TIF_NEED_RESCHED. Boot tested on x86_64 and compile tested on ppc64.

This patch exports the gpiod_* family of API functions, a safer alternative to the legacy GPIO interface. Differences between the gpiod and legacy gpio APIs are: - gpio works with integers, whereas gpiod operates on opaque handlers which cannot be forged or used before proper acquisition - gpiod get/set functions are aware of the active low state of a GPIO - gpio consumers should now include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> to access the new interface, whereas chips drivers will use <linux/gpio/driver.h> The legacy gpio API is now built as inline functions on top of gpiod.

2013-10-16gpio: add API to be strict about GPIO IRQ usageLinus Walleij
It is currently often possible in many GPIO drivers to request a GPIO line to be used as IRQ after calling gpio_to_irq() and, as the gpiolib is not aware of this, set the same line to output and start driving it, with undesired side effects. As it is a bogus usage scenario to request a line flagged as output to used as IRQ, we introduce APIs to let gpiolib track the use of a line as IRQ, and also set this flag from the userspace ABI. The API is symmetric so that lines can also be flagged from .irq_enable() and unflagged from IRQ by .irq_disable(). The debugfs file is altered so that we see if a line is reserved for IRQ.

2013-10-02mm: Fix generic hugetlb pte check return type.David Miller
The include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h stubs that just vector huge_pte_*() calls to the pte_*() implementations won't work in certain situations. x86 and sparc, for example, return "unsigned long" from the bit checks, and just go "return pte_val(pte) & PTE_BIT_FOO;" But since huge_pte_*() returns 'int', if any high bits on 64-bit are relevant, they get chopped off. The net effect is that we can loop forever trying to COW a huge page, because the huge_pte_write() check signals false all the time.

2013-08-29s390/mm: implement software referenced bitsMartin Schwidefsky
The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are quite expensive as well.

This patch cleans the initialization of dma contiguous framework. The all-in-one dma_declare_contiguous() function is now separated into dma_contiguous_reserve_area() which only steals the the memory from memblock allocator and dma_contiguous_add_device() function, which assigns given device to the specified reserved memory area. This improves the flexibility in defining contiguous memory areas and assigning device to them, because now it is possible to assign more than one device to the given contiguous memory area. Such split in initialization procedure is also required for upcoming device tree support.

2013-08-16Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner casesLinus Torvalds
Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

2013-08-13mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pagesCyrill Gorcunov
Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when pte read back. To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back. One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in pte.

2013-07-26tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space). But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string itself is. The end result is just output that looks like: rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally we would want something that looks like this: rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5 rcu_dyntick: End 0 1 The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format file in the debugfs tracing directory. The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher the address without any modification. The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use the trace_printk sections. Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output of the printk_format file. Cc: Paul E.

2013-07-03rapidio: convert switch drivers to modulesAlexandre Bounine
Rework RapidIO switch drivers to add an option to build them as loadable kernel modules. This patch removes RapidIO-specific vmlinux section and converts switch drivers to be compatible with LDM driver registration method. To simplify registration of device-specific callback routines this patch introduces rio_switch_ops data structure. The sw_sysfs() callback is removed from the list of device-specific operations because under the new structure its functions can be handled by switch driver's probe() and remove() routines. If a specific switch device driver is not loaded the RapidIO subsystem core will use default standard-based operations to configure a switch. Because the current implementation of RapidIO enumeration/discovery method relies on availability of device-specific operations for error management, switch device drivers must be loaded before the RapidIO enumeration/discovery starts. This patch also moves several common routines from enumeration/discovery module into the RapidIO core code to make switch-specific operations accessible to all components of RapidIO subsystem.

2013-07-03mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes trackingPavel Emelyanov
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.
