2679494246 mm: Fix generic hugetlb pte check return type.
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.

75f93fed50 sched: Revert need_resched() to look at TIF_NEED_RESCHED
Yuanhan reported a serious throughput regression in his pigz
benchmark. Using the ftrace patch I found that several idle
paths need more TLC before we can switch the generic
need_resched() over to preempt_need_resched.

The preemption paths benefit most from preempt_need_resched and
do indeed use it; all other need_resched() users don't really
care that much so reverting need_resched() back to
tif_need_resched() is the simple and safe solution.

bdb4380658 sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers
Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic
preempt_count value modifiers:

  __preempt_count_add()
  __preempt_count_sub()

and the new:

  __preempt_count_dec_and_test()

And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional
$op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op.

Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace()
variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

0102874755 sched: Create more preempt_count accessors
We need a few special preempt_count accessors:
 - task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption
   count of another (non-running) task.
 - init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption
   count.
 - init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle
   threads.

With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count
anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.

0944fe3f4a s390/mm: implement software referenced bits
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.

a254738039 drivers: dma-contiguous: clean source code and prepare for device tree
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.

2b047252d0 Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases
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 53a59fc67f ("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 597e1c3580 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96c ("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.

179ef71cbc mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages
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.

102c9323c3 tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers
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.

2ec3ba69fa rapidio: convert switch drivers to modules
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.

1622d1abdf vmlinux.lds: add comments for global variables and clean up useless declarations
The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been
expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion.

Patch 1-7:
	1) add comments for global variables exported by vmlinux.lds
	2) normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds
Patch 8:
	Introduce helper functions mem_init_print_info() and
	get_num_physpages()
Patch 9:
	Avoid using global variable num_physpages at runtime
Patch 10:
	Don't update num_physpages in memory_hotplug.c
Patch 11-40:
	Modify arch mm initialization code to:
	1) Simplify mem_init() by using mem_init_print_info()
	2) Prepare for killing global variable num_physpages
Patch 41:
	Kill the global variable num_physpages

With all patches applied, mem_init(), free_initmem(), free_initrd_mem()
could be as simple as below.  This patch series has reduced about 1.2K
lines of code in total.

#ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
void __init
mem_init(void)
{
	max_mapnr = max_low_pfn;
	free_all_bootmem();
	high_memory = (void *) __va(max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE);

	mem_init_print_info(NULL);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM */

void
free_initmem(void)
{
	free_initmem_default(-1);
}

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
void
free_initrd_mem(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
	free_reserved_area(start, end, -1, "initrd");
}
#endif

Due to hardware resource limitations, I have only tested this on x86_64.
And the messages reported on an x86_64 system are:

Log message before applying patches:
Memory: 7745676k/8910848k available (6934k kernel code, 836024k absent, 329148k reserved, 6343k data, 1012k init)

Great thanks to Vineet Gupta for testing on ARC.

This patch:

0f8975ec4d mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
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.

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
  might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
  functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:

  1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
     Make this explicit for all architectures.

  2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
     can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
     are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
     this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
     assume.

  3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
     like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
     might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
     PROVE_LOCKING is not set).

  4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
     caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
     PROVE_LOCKING is set.

a41b56efa7 arch: Make __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval return whether fastpath succeeded or not
This will allow me to call functions that have multiple
arguments if fastpath fails. This is required to support ticket
mutexes, because they need to be able to pass an extra argument
to the fail function.

Originally I duplicated the functions, by adding
__mutex_fastpath_lock_retval_arg. This ended up being just a
duplication of the existing function, so a way to test if
fastpath was called ended up being better.

This also cleaned up the reservation mutex patch some by being
able to call an atomic_set instead of atomic_xchg, and making it
easier to detect if the wrong unlock function was previously
used.

it frees pages first and invalidates TLBs later.

However now we can get concurrency and stuff goes *bang*.

This patch removes all tlb_fast_mode() code; it was found the better
option vs trying to patch the hole by entangling tlb invalidation with

576ebd7492 kernel: Fix s390 absolute memory access for /dev/mem
On s390 the prefix page and absolute zero pages are not correctly
returned when reading /dev/mem. The reason is that the s390 asm/io.h
file includes the asm-generic/io.h file which then defines
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and therefore overwrites the s390 specific
version that does the correct swap operation for prefix and absolute
zero pages. The problem is a regression that was introduced with git
commit cd248341 (s390/pci: base support).

To fix the problem add "#ifndef xlate_dev_mem_ptr" in asm-generic/io.h
and "#define xlate_dev_mem_ptr" in asm/io.h. This ensures that the
s390 version is used. For completeness also add the "#ifndef"
construct for xlate_dev_kmem_ptr().

534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
  kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
  or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

  This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
  idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
  reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.

  This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
  the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
  that:

   - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
     to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
     HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
     removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
     typical distro configs even on modern systems.

   - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
     should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
     source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.

   - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
     especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
     helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.

  The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
  reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
  slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.

  Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
  two NOHZ kconfig modes:

   - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
     as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
     design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
     whether a CPU is idle or not.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
     periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
     tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
     timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
     CPU.

  The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
  CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
  user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
  default.

  This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
  steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
  and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.

  This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
  request is marked RFC because:

   - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
     small but did not get ready in time.

   - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
     window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
     merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
     marked it RFC.

   - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
     while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
     combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
     should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
     known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.

   - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
     equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
     particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
     on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
     correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
     feature at this point.

   - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
     enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
     its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
     Without flaming us to crisp! :-)

  Future plans:

   - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
     the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
     CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
     for the 0 Hz target though.

   - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
     nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
     as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
     once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.

  I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
  v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
  but the final word is up to you as usual.

6ee8630e02 mm: allow arch code to control the user page table ceiling
On architectures where a pgd entry may be shared between user and kernel
(e.g.  ARM+LPAE), freeing page tables needs a ceiling other than 0.
This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can
override.  It is the responsibility of the arch code setting the ceiling
to ensure the complete freeing of the page tables (usually in
pgd_free()).

106c992a5e mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions
Commit abf09bed3c ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
introduced another difference in the pte layout vs.  the pmd layout on
s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs.  This requires
replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
huge_pte_xxx version.

This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.  This change
will be a no-op for those architectures.

1de14c3c5c x86-32: Fix possible incomplete TLB invalidate with PAE pagetables
This patch attempts to fix:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461

The symptom is a crash and messages like this:

	chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
	*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
	Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f5 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).

The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy.  If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).

This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.

BTW, I disassembled and checked that:

	if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
	if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)

generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.
