Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency",
v4.
This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when
page faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of
sync with block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through
mmap is different from data seen through read(2).
The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and
also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem.
This patch (of 4):
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries
only if they are clean and unlocked. This is done via:
invalidate_mapping_pages()
invalidate_exceptional_entry()
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry()
However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages()
there is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be
mapped. This is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages()
and is checked in invalidate_inode_page().
For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a
DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry,
could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry. This is
inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the
page cache case.
We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to
its comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and
unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping->i_mmap_rwsem.
Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the
radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().
Fixes: c6dcf52c23d2 ("mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate")

Commit 1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has
pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that
turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails
with
In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0,
from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4,
from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9,

#define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address)
as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason
In file included from include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0,
from arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61,
from include/linux/io.h:25,

include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags':
include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'?
which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2
includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which
again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>.
Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary.
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user
(kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and
provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really
need any games with header files.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The
set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot"

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
- Fix a problem where orderly_shutdown() is called for multiple times
due to multiple critical overheating events raised in a short period
by platform thermal driver. (Keerthy)
- Introduce a backup thermal shutdown mechanism, which invokes
kernel_power_off()/emergency_restart() directly, after
orderly_shutdown() being issued for certain amount of time(specified
via Kconfig). This is useful in certain conditions that userspace may
be unable to power off the system in a clean manner and leaves the
system in a critical state, like in the middle of driver probing
phase. (Keerthy)
- Introduce a new interface in thermal devfreq_cooling code so that the
driver can provide more precise data regarding actual power to the
thermal governor every time the power budget is calculated. (Lukasz
Luba)
- Introduce BCM 2835 soc thermal driver and northstar thermal driver,
within a new sub-folder. (Rafał Miłecki)
- Introduce DA9062/61 thermal driver. (Steve Twiss)

The main part is the last commit (fixing mntns_install()); that one

bit more robust - it should be impossible to get opened files (even
O_PATH ones) for referral points in the first place, so the existing

cheap.
The path_init() commit removes a redundant check that shouldn't have

nsio_rw_bytes can clear media errors, but this cannot be done while we
are in an atomic context due to locking within ACPI. From the BTT,
->rw_bytes may be called either from atomic or process context depending
on whether the calls happen during initialization or during IO.
During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag
marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called
during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.

Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
"Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.
This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
UEFI secure boot conditions.
Annotations are made by changing:
module_param(n, t, p)
module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
module_param_array(n, t, m, p)
to:
module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)
where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting
hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
be one of:
ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port
iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
irq Module parameter configures an I/O port
dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel
dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
other Module parameter configures some other value
Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for
future use.
A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.
The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files.
The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being
set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a
reasonable default.
What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may
take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important
modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and
allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with
any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware.
Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.
[!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is
left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark
annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in
an already existing field"

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"Sort of on the quieter side this time, which is probably due more to

Pull TEE driver infrastructure and OP-TEE drivers from Arnd Bergmann:
"This introduces a generic TEE framework in the kernel, to handle
trusted environemtns (security coprocessor or software implementations
such as OP-TEE/TrustZone). I'm sending it separately from the other
arm-soc driver changes to give it a little more visibility, once the
subsystem is merged, we will likely keep this in the arm₋soc drivers
branch or have the maintainers submit pull requests directly,
depending on the patch volume.
I have reviewed earlier versions in the past, and have reviewed the
latest version in person during Linaro Connect BUD17.
Here is my overall assessment of the subsystem:
- There is clearly demand for this, both for the generic
infrastructure and the specific OP-TEE implementation.
- The code has gone through a large number of reviews, and the review
comments have all been addressed, but the reviews were not coming
up with serious issues any more and nobody volunteered to vouch for
the quality.
- The user space ioctl interface is sufficient to work with the
OP-TEE driver, and it should in principle work with other TEE
implementations that follow the GlobalPlatform[1] standards, but it
might need to be extended in minor ways depending on specific
requirements of future TEE implementations
- The main downside of the API to me is how the user space is tied to
the TEE implementation in hardware or firmware, but uses a generic
way to communicate with it. This seems to be an inherent problem
with what it is trying to do, and I could not come up with any
better solution than what is implemented here.

A known weakness in ptr_ring design is that it does not handle well the
situation when ring is almost full: as entries are consumed they are
immediately used again by the producer, so consumer and producer are
writing to a shared cache line.
To fix this, add batching to consume calls: as entries are
consumed do not write NULL into the ring until we get
a multiple (in current implementation 2x) of cache lines
away from the producer. At that point, write them all out.
We do the write out in the reverse order to keep
producer from sharing cache with consumer for as long
as possible.
Writeout also triggers when ring wraps around - there's
no special reason to do this but it helps keep the code
a bit simpler.
What should we do if getting away from producer by 2 cache lines
would mean we are keeping the ring moe than half empty?
Maybe we should reduce the batching in this case,
current patch simply reduces the batching.
Notes:
- it is no longer true that a call to consume guarantees
that the following call to produce will succeed.
No users seem to assume that.
- batching can also in theory reduce the signalling rate:
users that would previously send interrups to the producer
to wake it up after consuming each entry would now only
need to do this once in a batch.
Doing this would be easy by returning a flag to the caller.
No users seem to do signalling on consume yet so this was not
implemented yet.

Second round of KVM/ARM Changes for v4.12.
Changes include:
- A fix related to the 32-bit idmap stub
- A fix to the bitmask used to deode the operands of an AArch32 CP

- We have moved the files shared between arch/arm/kvm and
arch/arm64/kvm to virt/kvm/arm
- We add support for saving/restoring the virtual ITS state to

There are occasional needs to use the index of vcpu in the kvm->vcpus
array to map something related to a VCPU. For example, unlike the
vcpu->vcpu_id, the vcpu index is guaranteed to not be sparse across all
vcpus which is useful when allocating a memory area for each vcpu.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.

are in, but they'll be coming during the -rc cycle).
The first tag contains a single patch that would have conflicted if
taken from my tree or DaveM's tree as it needed our trees merged to
come cleanly.
The second tag contains the patch series from Intel plus three other
stragllers that came in late last week. I took them because it allowed
me to legitimately claim that the RDMA patchworks queue was, for a
short time, 100% cleared of all waiting kernel patches, woohoo! :-).

The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to
clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing
PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a
pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim.
Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the
previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing of
PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.
There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes
it more robust.

Commit afddba49d18f ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and
perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was
checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by
4e02ed4b4a2f ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write").
Between these two commits, commit d9414774dc0c ("cifs: Convert cifs to
new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon
removed by commit a98ee8c1c707 ("[CIFS] fix regression in
cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end").
Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere. Let's
remove this flag. This patch has no functionality changes.

pagefault_disabled_dec is frequently used inline, and it has a WARN_ON
for underflow that expands to about 6.5k of extra code. The warning
doesn't seem to be that useful and worth so much code so remove it.
If it was needed could make it depending on some debug kernel option.
Saves ~6.5k in my kernel

The kref functions check for NULL release functions. This WARN_ON seems
rather pointless. We will eventually release and then just crash
nicely. It is also somewhat expensive because these functions are
inlined in a lot of places. Removing the WARN_ONs saves around 2.3k in
this kernel (likely more in others with more drivers)

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by
"mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use
it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't
realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The
function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is
then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not
inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as
callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging
feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given
range belongs to vmalloc as a caller:
0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3
0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this
issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.
