An exact mapping would be within_module_core(), but at this stage
(MODULE_STATE_GOING) the init section is empty, and this is clearer.

When setting a module's RO and NX permissions, set_section_ro_nx() is
used, but when clearing them, unset_module_{init,core}_ro_nx() are used.
The unset functions don't have the same checks the set function has for
partial page protections. It's probably harmless, but it's still
confusingly asymmetrical.
Instead, use the same logic to do both. Also add some new
set_module_{init,core}_ro_nx() helper functions for more symmetry with
the unset functions.

Pull more block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
"I wasn't going to send off a new pull before next week, but the blk
flush fix from Jan from the other day introduced a regression. It's
rare enough not to have hit during testing, since it requires both a

that. But since someone did hit it, let's get the revert into 4.4-rc3

Apart from that revert, three other fixes:
- From Christoph, a fix for a missing unmap in NVMe request

Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate
elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And
this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in
struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not
easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure
whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert
1b2ff19e6a957b1ef0f365ad331b608af80e932e. Thanks!
I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing
gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I
guess during boot it makes some sense.

So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the
fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it
requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
incorrect because:
(1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
invalidation.
(2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).
The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).
In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.
With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
__task_pid_nr_ns() :
pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read

because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :

If we call __kvm_hyp_panic while a guest context is active, we call
__restore_sysregs before acquiring the system register values for the
panic, in the process throwing away the PAR_EL1 value at the point of
the panic.
This patch modifies __kvm_hyp_panic to stash the PAR_EL1 value prior to
restoring host register values, enabling us to report the original
values at the point of the panic.

We were probing the physial distributor state for the active state of a

cleared when the guest deactivated a virtual interrupted.
However, this issue turned out to be a software bug in the GIC, which

We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
deasserted. We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.
This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
shouldn't happen.

We were setting the physical active state on the GIC distributor in a

different physical CPU from the one we were actually going to run on,
hacoc ensues.
Since we are no longer descheduling/scheduling soft timers in the
flush/sync timer functions, simply moving the timer flush into a
non-preemptible section.

When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8
architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit
space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed
over the 64bit ones.
On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the
HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so
far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64
accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number).
It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in
D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the
ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued
instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is
taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers
give the AArch64 view of the register."
Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version,
and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing
an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to
very unexpected behaviours).
The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from
vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly.
The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we
actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting
a fault in a guest.

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
not a set of mutually exclusive bits
For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
normal memory and device types are defined as follows:
#define MT_S2_NORMAL 0xf
#define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE 0x1
I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
as device mappings.
Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
down the type of mapping through all the functions.
However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

Commit 296291cdd162 (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where
sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus
was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to
issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or
similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem
write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example
from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to
be killed:
int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
int r2 = memfd_create("", 0);
unsigned long n = 1<<30;
fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);
There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile
code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to
trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into
splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to
be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the
do-ton-of-tiny-writes nature.

When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
device doesn't support discards.
Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0). This regression
wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.
Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.
Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.
Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).
