In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.
Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.
Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of
cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other
important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a
signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT >
8.
This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that
are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information
for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if
there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it.
This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom
is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the
unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.
Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom
killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes
nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus)
lines from the oom killer output.
Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed
nodes.

struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct
rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures
smaller as well.
The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get
its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease
the size of plist_head by half.

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.
Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find a buffer fit
for device's dma mask. It should return an error instead.
Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e. under 4G) like b44 network card hit
this bug (the system crashes):

If swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing

When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.
However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.
So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

I think this root cause is the following:
radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always tags the root tag with settag
if the root tag is set with iftag even if there are no iftag tags
in the specified range (Of course, there are some iftag tags
outside the specified range).
===============================================================================
[[[Detailed description]]]
(1) Why cannot radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() return forever?
__lookup_tag():
- Return with 0.
- Return with the index which is not bigger than the old one as the
input parameter.
Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above
conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be
changed into the bigger one.
(So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.)
radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot():
1178 while (ret < max_items) {
1179 unsigned int slots_found;
1180 unsigned long next_index; /* Index of next search */
1181
1182 if (cur_index > max_index)
1183 break;
1184 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret,
1185 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index,
tag);
1186 ret += slots_found;
// cannot update ret because slots_found == 0.
// so, this while loops forever.
1187 if (next_index == 0)
1188 break;
1189 cur_index = next_index;
1190 }
(2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index?
Assuming the following:
- the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL.
- the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other.
- In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0.

(3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set?
Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY,
even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course,
some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range.
(radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback())
640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root
*root,
641 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index,
642 unsigned long nr_to_tag,
643 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag)
644 {
645 unsigned int height = root->height;
646 struct radix_tree_path path[height];
647 struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path;
648 struct radix_tree_node *slot;
649 unsigned int shift;
650 unsigned long tagged = 0;
651 unsigned long index = *first_indexp;
652
653 last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height));
654 if (index > last_index)
655 return 0;
656 if (!nr_to_tag)
657 return 0;
658 if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) {
659 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
660 return 0;
661 }
662 if (height == 0) {
663 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
664 root_tag_set(root, settag);
665 return 1;
666 }
...
733 root_tag_set(root, settag);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
734 *first_indexp = index;
735
736 return tagged;
737 }
As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

When initiating I/O on a multiqueue and multi-IRQ device, we may want
to select a queue for which the response will be handled on the same

library functions to support a generic reverse-mapping from CPUs to
objects with affinity and the specific case where the objects are

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.
The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).
The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.
These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.
Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
- Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
- Integrity check support (CRC32)
- BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.
This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g. for Squashfs.

Callback-to-callback decompression mode is used for initrd (not
initramfs). The LZO wrapper is broken for this use case for two reasons:
- The argument validation is needlessly too strict by
requiring that "posp" is non-NULL when "fill" is non-NULL.
- The buffer handling code didn't work at all for this
use case.
I tested with LZO-compressed kernel, initramfs, initrd, and corrupt
(truncated) initramfs and initrd images.

means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want

Return value of rc->fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called
when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened.
rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical
call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound
like the best fix. It seems better to check rc->buffer_size (which holds
the return value of rc->fill()) in the main loop. It does nothing bad
that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc->fill().
This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the
LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt.
