Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:
an user||a user
an userspace||a userspace
I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list. I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

sysv sem has two lock modes: One with per-semaphore locks, one lock mode
with a single global lock for the whole array. When switching from the
per-semaphore locks to the global lock, all per-semaphore locks must be
scanned for ongoing operations.
The patch adds a hysteresis for switching from the global lock to the
per semaphore locks. This reduces how often the per-semaphore locks
must be scanned.
Compared to the initial patch, this is a simplified solution: Setting
USE_GLOBAL_LOCK_HYSTERESIS to 1 restores the current behavior.
In theory, a workload with exactly 10 simple sops and then one complex
op now scales a bit worse, but this is pure theory: If there is
concurrency, the it won't be exactly 10:1:10:1:10:1:... If there is no
concurrency, then there is no need for scalability.

Currently SS_AUTODISARM is not supported in compatibility mode, but does
not return -EINVAL either. This makes dosemu built with -m32 on x86_64
to crash. Also the kernel's sigaltstack selftest fails if compiled with
-m32.
This patch adds the needed support.

Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h. This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers... instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.
Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not. Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.
Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution. This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.
Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch. The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.
In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.
During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up. Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION. This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

Patch series "Update LZ4 compressor module", v7.
This patchset updates the LZ4 compression module to a version based on
LZ4 v1.7.3 allowing to use the fast compression algorithm aka LZ4 fast
which provides an "acceleration" parameter as a tradeoff between high
compression ratio and high compression speed.
We want to use LZ4 fast in order to support compression in lustre and
(mostly, based on that) investigate data reduction techniques in behalf
of storage systems.
Also, it will be useful for other users of LZ4 compression, as with LZ4
fast it is possible to enable applications to use fast and/or high
compression depending on the usecase. For instance, ZRAM is offering a
LZ4 backend and could benefit from an updated LZ4 in the kernel.
LZ4 homepage: http://www.lz4.org/
LZ4 source repository: https://github.com/lz4/lz4 Source version: 1.7.3

[PATCH 4/5] fs/pstore: fs/squashfs: Change usage of LZ4 to work with new LZ4 version
[PATCH 5/5] lib/lz4: Remove back-compat wrappers
This patch (of 5):
Update the LZ4 kernel module to LZ4 v1.7.3 by Yann Collet. The kernel
module is inspired by the previous work by Chanho Min. The updated LZ4
module will not break existing code since the patchset contains
appropriate changes.
API changes:
New method LZ4_compress_fast which differs from the variant available in
kernel by the new acceleration parameter, allowing to trade compression
ratio for more compression speed and vice versa.
LZ4_decompress_fast is the respective decompression method, featuring a
very fast decoder (multiple GB/s per core), able to reach RAM speed in
multi-core systems. The decompressor allows to decompress data
compressed with LZ4 fast as well as the LZ4 HC (high compression)
algorithm.
Also the useful functions LZ4_decompress_safe_partial and
LZ4_compress_destsize were added. The latter reverses the logic by
trying to compress as much data as possible from source to dest while
the former aims to decompress partial blocks of data.
A bunch of streaming functions were also added which allow
compressig/decompressing data in multiple steps (so called "streaming
mode").
The methods lz4_compress and lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize are now
known as LZ4_compress_default respectivley LZ4_decompress_safe. The old
methods will be removed since there's no callers left in the code.

While working on a thermal driver I encounter a scenario where the
divisor could be negative, instead of adding local code to handle this I
though I first try to add support for this in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
Add support to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST for negative divisors if both dividend
and divisor variable types are signed. This should not alter current
behavior for users of the macro as previously negative divisors where
not supported.
Before:
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, 4) = 15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, -4) = -14
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, 4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) = 14
After:
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, 4) = 15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( 59, -4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, 4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) = 15

The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do
something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return
false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers.
Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that
the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be
able to be used directly on macro expressions).

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal
integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the
checking more expressive:
0 → HIDEPID_OFF
1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS
2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE
This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface
remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.
No functional changes.

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
- kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
- Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
__GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
kmem_cache.
- Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
- kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
kmem cache being destroyed.
To see the problem:
1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.
Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.
Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().
This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

Commit 31bc3858ea3e ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically
onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken.
The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call
online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online
the memory. Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the
memory block in online_memory_block(). This would online the memory
(the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from
device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the
device struct offline flag.
As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory
block after adding it using auto online fails. This is because doing a
remove, for instance
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2.
This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma
preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal
with concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without
following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the
migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP
page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme.
That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write
to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page
content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that. We are
good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we
never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte.
This patch (of 2):
Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid
taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106ea " mm: numa:
preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault").
Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may
choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte.
Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix
this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a
protnone pte.

If madvise(2) advice will result in the underlying vma being split and
the number of areas mapped by the process will exceed
/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count as a result, return ENOMEM instead of EAGAIN.
EAGAIN is returned by madvise(2) when a kernel resource, such as slab,
is temporarily unavailable. It indicates that userspace should retry
the advice in the near future. This is important for advice such as
MADV_DONTNEED which is often used by malloc implementations to free
memory back to the system: we really do want to free memory back when
madvise(2) returns EAGAIN because slab allocations (for vmas, anon_vmas,
or mempolicies) cannot be allocated.
Encountering /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count is not a temporary failure,
however, so return ENOMEM to indicate this is a more serious issue. A
followup patch to the man page will specify this behavior.

Most users of this interface just want to use it with the default
GFP_KERNEL flags, but for cases where DMA memory is allocated it may be
called from a different context.
No functional change yet, just passing through the flag to the
underlying alloc_contig_range function.

Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done
with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all
current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more
use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some
platforms).
Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask
set by upper layers.
Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the
passed in flags.

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page", v6.
After Minchan's commit bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru
movable page migration"), some type of non-lru page like zsmalloc and
virtio-balloon page also support migration.
Therefore, we can:
1) soft offlining no-lru movable pages, which means when memory
corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page, we can stop to use
it by migrating data onto another page and disable the original
(maybe half-broken) one.
2) enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages, i.e. we may offline
blocks, which include such pages, by using non-lru page migration.
This patchset is heavily dependent on non-lru movable page migration.
This patch (of 4):
Change the return type of isolate_movable_page() from bool to int. It
will return 0 when isolate movable page successfully, and return -EBUSY
when it isolates failed.
There is no functional change within this patch but prepare for later

Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has
been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the
correct locations. More than one kernel oops was introduced due to
difficulties of getting the placement correctly.
Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault
that indicates the size of the page entry. This makes the code easier
to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where
removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include
support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added.
Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.
The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax. The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX. I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc. The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.
Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs. Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file. We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].
[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52
Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:
There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:
processes : 10,000
memory : 6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB
As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level. Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.
An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.
This patch (of 3):
In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault. The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

We noticed a performance regression when moving hadoop workloads from
3.10 kernels to 4.0 and 4.6. This is accompanied by increased pageout
activity initiated by kswapd as well as frequent bursts of allocation
stalls and direct reclaim scans. Even lowering the dirty ratios to the
equivalent of less than 1% of memory would not eliminate the issue,
suggesting that dirty pages concentrate where the scanner is looking.
This can be traced back to recent efforts of thrash avoidance. Where
3.10 would not detect refaulting pages and continuously supply clean
cache to the inactive list, a thrashing workload on 4.0+ will detect and
activate refaulting pages right away, distilling used-once pages on the
inactive list much more effectively. This is by design, and it makes
sense for clean cache. But for the most part our workload's cache
faults are refaults and its use-once cache is from streaming writes. We
end up with most of the inactive list dirty, and we don't go after the
active cache as long as we have use-once pages around.
But waiting for writes to avoid reclaiming clean cache that *might*
refault is a bad trade-off. Even if the refaults happen, reads are
faster than writes. Before getting bogged down on writeback, reclaim
should first look at *all* cache in the system, even active cache.
To accomplish this, activate pages that are dirty or under writeback
when they reach the end of the inactive LRU. The pages are marked for
immediate reclaim, meaning they'll get moved back to the inactive LRU
tail as soon as they're written back and become reclaimable. But in the
meantime, by reducing the inactive list to only immediately reclaimable
pages, we allow the scanner to deactivate and refill the inactive list
with clean cache from the active list tail to guarantee forward
progress.

Memory pressure can put dirty pages at the end of the LRU without
anybody running into dirty limits. Don't start writing individual pages
from kswapd while the flushers might be asleep.
Unlike the old direct reclaim flusher wakeup (removed in the next patch)
that flushes the number of pages just scanned, this patch wakes the
flushers for all outstanding dirty pages. That seemed to perform better
in a synthetic test that pushes dirty pages to the end of the LRU and
into reclaim, because we know LRU aging outstrips writeback already, and
this way we give younger dirty pages a headstart rather than wait until
reclaim runs into them as well. It also means less plugging and risk of
exhausting the struct request pool from reclaim.
There is a concern that this will cause temporary files that used to get
dirtied and truncated before writeback to now get written to disk under
memory pressure. If this turns out to be a real problem, we'll have to
revisit this and tame the reclaim flusher wakeups.

Patch series "mm: vmscan: fix kswapd writeback regression".
We noticed a regression on multiple hadoop workloads when moving from
3.10 to 4.0 and 4.6, which involves kswapd getting tangled up in page
writeout, causing direct reclaim herds that also don't make progress.
I tracked it down to the thrash avoidance efforts after 3.10 that make
the kernel better at keeping use-once cache and use-many cache sorted on
the inactive and active list, with more aggressive protection of the
active list as long as there is inactive cache. Unfortunately, our
workload's use-once cache is mostly from streaming writes. Waiting for
writes to avoid potential reloads in the future is not a good tradeoff.
These patches do the following:
1. Wake the flushers when kswapd sees a lump of dirty pages. It's
possible to be below the dirty background limit and still have cache
velocity push them through the LRU. So start a-flushin'.
2. Let kswapd only write pages that have been rotated twice. This makes
sure we really tried to get all the clean pages on the inactive list
before resorting to horrible LRU-order writeback.
3. Move rotating dirty pages off the inactive list. Instead of churning
or waiting on page writeback, we'll go after clean active cache. This
might lead to thrashing, but in this state memory demand outstrips IO
speed anyway, and reads are faster than writes.
Mel backported the series to 4.10-rc5 with one minor conflict and ran a
couple of tests on it. Mix of read/write random workload didn't show
anything interesting. Write-only database didn't show much difference
in performance but there were slight reductions in IO -- probably in the
noise.
simoop did show big differences although not as big as Mel expected.
This is Chris Mason's workload that similate the VM activity of hadoop.
Mel won't go through the full details but over the samples measured

The latencies are actually completely horrific in comparison to 4.4 (and
4.10-rc5 is worse than 4.9 according to historical data for reasons Mel
hasn't analysed yet).
Still, 95% of write latency (p95-write) is halved by the series and
allocation latency is way down. Direct reclaim activity is one fifth of
what it was according to vmstats. Kswapd activity is higher but this is
not necessarily surprising. Kswapd efficiency is unchanged at 99% (99%
of pages scanned were reclaimed) but direct reclaim efficiency went from
77% to 99%
In the vanilla kernel, 627MB of data was written back from reclaim
context. With the series, no data was written back. With or without
the patch, pages are being immediately reclaimed after writeback
completes. However, with the patch, only 1/8th of the pages are
reclaimed like this.
This patch (of 5):
We have an elaborate dirty/writeback throttling mechanism inside the
reclaim scanner, but for that to work the pages have to go through
shrink_page_list() and get counted for what they are. Otherwise, we
mess up the LRU order and don't match reclaim speed to writeback.
Especially during deactivation, there is never a reason to skip dirty
pages; nothing is even trying to write them out from there. Don't mess
up the LRU order for nothing, shuffle these pages along.
