mm: memcontrol: fold move_anon() and move_file()
Turn the move type enum into flags and give the flags field a shorter name. Once that is done, move_anon() and move_file() are simple enough to just fold them into the callsites.

mm: memcontrol: default hierarchy interface for memory
Introduce the basic control files to account, partition, and limit
memory using cgroups in default hierarchy mode.
This interface versioning allows us to address fundamental design
issues in the existing memory cgroup interface, further explained
below. The old interface will be maintained indefinitely, but a
clearer model and improved workload performance should encourage
existing users to switch over to the new one eventually.
The control files are thus:
- memory.current shows the current consumption of the cgroup and its
descendants, in bytes.
- memory.low configures the lower end of the cgroup's expected
memory consumption range. The kernel considers memory below that
boundary to be a reserve - the minimum that the workload needs in
order to make forward progress - and generally avoids reclaiming
it, unless there is an imminent risk of entering an OOM situation.
- memory.high configures the upper end of the cgroup's expected
memory consumption range. A cgroup whose consumption grows beyond
this threshold is forced into direct reclaim, to work off the
excess and to throttle new allocations heavily, but is generally
allowed to continue and the OOM killer is not invoked.
- memory.max configures the hard maximum amount of memory that the
cgroup is allowed to consume before the OOM killer is invoked.
- memory.events shows event counters that indicate how often the
cgroup was reclaimed while below memory.low, how often it was
forced to reclaim excess beyond memory.high, how often it hit
memory.max, and how often it entered OOM due to memory.max. This
allows users to identify configuration problems when observing a
degradation in workload performance. An overcommitted system will
have an increased rate of low boundary breaches, whereas increased
rates of high limit breaches, maximum hits, or even OOM situations
will indicate internally overcommitted cgroups.
For existing users of memory cgroups, the following deviations from
the current interface are worth pointing out and explaining:
- The original lower boundary, the soft limit, is defined as a limit
that is per default unset. As a result, the set of cgroups that
global reclaim prefers is opt-in, rather than opt-out. The costs
for optimizing these mostly negative lookups are so high that the
implementation, despite its enormous size, does not even provide
the basic desirable behavior. First off, the soft limit has no
hierarchical meaning. All configured groups are organized in a
global rbtree and treated like equal peers, regardless where they
are located in the hierarchy. This makes subtree delegation
impossible. Second, the soft limit reclaim pass is so aggressive
that it not just introduces high allocation latencies into the
system, but also impacts system performance due to overreclaim, to
the point where the feature becomes self-defeating.
The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated
reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its
ancestors are below their low boundaries, which makes delegation
of subtrees possible. Secondly, new cgroups have no reserve per
default and in the common case most cgroups are eligible for the
preferred reclaim pass. This allows the new low boundary to be
efficiently implemented with just a minor addition to the generic
reclaim code, without the need for out-of-band data structures and
reclaim passes. Because the generic reclaim code considers all
cgroups except for the ones running low in the preferred first
reclaim pass, overreclaim of individual groups is eliminated as
well, resulting in much better overall workload performance.
- The original high boundary, the hard limit, is defined as a strict
limit that can not budge, even if the OOM killer has to be called.
But this generally goes against the goal of making the most out of
the available memory. The memory consumption of workloads varies
during runtime, and that requires users to overcommit. But doing
that with a strict upper limit requires either a fairly accurate
prediction of the working set size or adding slack to the limit.
Since working set size estimation is hard and error prone, and
getting it wrong results in OOM kills, most users tend to err on
the side of a looser limit and end up wasting precious resources.
The memory.high boundary on the other hand can be set much more
conservatively. When hit, it throttles allocations by forcing
them into direct reclaim to work off the excess, but it never
invokes the OOM killer. As a result, a high boundary that is
chosen too aggressively will not terminate the processes, but
instead it will lead to gradual performance degradation. The user
can monitor this and make corrections until the minimal memory
footprint that still gives acceptable performance is found.
In extreme cases, with many concurrent allocations and a complete
breakdown of reclaim progress within the group, the high boundary
can be exceeded. But even then it's mostly better to satisfy the
allocation from the slack available in other groups or the rest of
the system than killing the group. Otherwise, memory.max is there
to limit this type of spillover and ultimately contain buggy or
even malicious applications.
- The original control file names are unwieldy and inconsistent in
many different ways. For example, the upper boundary hit count is
exported in the memory.failcnt file, but an OOM event count has to
be manually counted by listening to memory.oom_control events, and
lower boundary / soft limit events have to be counted by first
setting a threshold for that value and then counting those events.
Also, usage and limit files encode their units in the filename.
That makes the filenames very long, even though this is not
information that a user needs to be reminded of every time they
type out those names.
To address these naming issues, as well as to signal clearly that
the new interface carries a new configuration model, the naming
conventions in it necessarily differ from the old interface.
- The original limit files indicate the state of an unset limit with
a very high number, and a configured limit can be unset by echoing
-1 into those files. But that very high number is implementation
and architecture dependent and not very descriptive. And while -1
can be understood as an underflow into the highest possible value,
-2 or -10M etc. do not work, so it's not inconsistent.
memory.low, memory.high, and memory.max will use the string
"infinity" to indicate and set the highest possible value.

mm/page_alloc.c: drop dead destroy_compound_page()

mm: microoptimize zonelist operations
next_zones_zonelist() returns a zoneref pointer, as well as a zone pointer via extra parameter. Since the latter can be trivially obtained by dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is unjustified. This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist(). Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add the zoneref dereference inline.

mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page()
The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages*
functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed
to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change,
along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations.
The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on
openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION.
The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks
like this:
struct alloc_context {
struct zonelist *zonelist;
nodemask_t *nodemask;
struct zone *preferred_zone;
int classzone_idx;
int migratetype;
enum zone_type high_zoneidx;
};
All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath()
changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But
that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in
__alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again
(although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info
mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context.
Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in
Patch 2.
Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c
itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from
the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be
moved to a shared header.
Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful
enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack
reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.
Overall bloat-o-meter results:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460)
function old new delta
nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14
__alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73
get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94
__alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279
try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3
Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl:
old new delta
get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0
__alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48
__alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40
try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0
-88

This patch (of 4):
prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page
being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at
least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set
correctly, see commit

sparc32: fix broken set_pte()
32-bit sparc uses swap instruction to implement set_pte(). It called using GCC inline assembler. But it misses the "memory" clobber to indicate that pte value will be updated in memory. As result GCC doesn't know that it cannot postpone pte pointer dereference which occurs before set_pte() to post-set_pte() time. It leads to real-world bugs -- [1]. In this situation we have code: ptent = ptep_modify_prot_start(mm, addr, pte); ptent = pte_modify(ptent, newprot); ... ptep_modify_prot_commit(mm, addr, pte, ptent); ptep_modify_prot_start() in sparc case is just 'pte' dereference plus pte_clear(). pte_clear() calls broken set_pte(). GCC thinks it's valid to dereference 'pte' again on pte_modify() and gets cleared pte. ptep_modify_prot_commit() puts 'pteent' with pfn==0 back to page table, which eventually leads to the crash.

mm/hugetlb: fix getting refcount 0 page in hugetlb_fault()
When running the test which causes the race as shown in the previous patch,
we can hit the BUG "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault().
This race happens when pte turns into migration entry just after the first
check of is_hugetlb_entry_migration() in hugetlb_fault() passed with false.
To fix this, we need to check pte_present() again after huge_ptep_get().
This patch also reorders taking ptl and doing pte_page(), because
pte_page() should be done in ptl. Due to this reordering, we need use
trylock_page() in page != pagecache_page case to respect locking order.

mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.
This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.
This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.
We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.

mm/hugetlb: pmd_huge() returns true for non-present hugepage
Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present
hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison
entries in their page table slots.
This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell
non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is
one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such
hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages.
To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is
true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up
non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry)
because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd.
The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(),
where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge().
This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present
hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0
at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.

mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*
Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement arch-specific code only when the arch needs it. For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as default. As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is. So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation. In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code. One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it. Justification of non-trivial changes: - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.) - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because they are identical in both archs. In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20. In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

mm, vmscan: wake up all pfmemalloc-throttled processes at once
Kswapd in balance_pgdate() currently uses wake_up() on processes waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim(), which only wakes up a single process. This might leave processes waiting for longer than necessary, until the check is reached in the next loop iteration. Processes might also be left waiting if zone was fully balanced in single iteration. Note that the comment in balance_pgdat() also says "Wake them", so waking up a single process does not seem intentional. Thus, replace wake_up() with wake_up_all().

mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages_nodemask(): don't alter arg gfp_mask
__alloc_pages_nodemask() strips __GFP_IO when retrying the page allocation. But it does this by altering the function-wide variable gfp_mask. This will cause subsequent allocation attempts to inadvertently use the modified gfp_mask. Also, pass the correct mask (the mask we actually used) into trace_mm_page_alloc().

oom: make sure that TIF_MEMDIE is set under task_lock
OOM killer tries to exclude tasks which do not have mm_struct associated because killing such a task wouldn't help much. The OOM victim gets TIF_MEMDIE set to disable OOM killer while the current victim releases the memory and then enables the OOM killer again by dropping the flag. oom_kill_process is currently prone to a race condition when the OOM victim is already exiting and TIF_MEMDIE is set after the task releases its address space. This might theoretically lead to OOM livelock if the OOM victim blocks on an allocation later during exiting because it wouldn't kill any other process and the exiting one won't be able to exit. The situation is highly unlikely because the OOM victim is expected to release some memory which should help to sort out OOM situation. Fix this by checking task->mm and setting TIF_MEMDIE flag under task_lock which will serialize the OOM killer with exit_mm which sets task->mm to NULL. Setting the flag for current is not necessary because check and set is not racy.

oom: don't count on mm-less current process
out_of_memory() doesn't trigger the OOM killer if the current task is already exiting or it has fatal signals pending, and gives the task access to memory reserves instead. However, doing so is wrong if out_of_memory() is called by an allocation (e.g. from exit_task_work()) after the current task has already released its memory and cleared TIF_MEMDIE at exit_mm(). If we again set TIF_MEMDIE to post-exit_mm() current task, the OOM killer will be blocked by the task sitting in the final schedule() waiting for its parent to reap it. It will trigger an OOM livelock if its parent is unable to reap it due to doing an allocation and waiting for the OOM killer to kill it.

ALSA: line6: Add delay before reading status
The device indicates the result of a read/write operation by making the status available on a subsequent request from the driver. This is not ready immediately, though, so the driver is currently slamming the device with hundreds of pointless requests before getting the expected response. Add a two millisecond delay before each attempt. This is approximately the behavior observed with version 4.2.7.1 of the Windows driver.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
"Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
this pile.
Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got
later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
implementation merged.
Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].
The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
nature of the change that is being introduced.
In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
redirection machinery to the patched functions.
On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
"patched" one at safe checkpoints.
If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
evolved around [3].
It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live
Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.
And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
request.
It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).
It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
regs-saving).
Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is
that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
sketched out already in the thread at [3]).
Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

[ The core code is introduced by the three commits authored by Seth
Jennings, which got a lot of changes incorporated during numerous
respins and reviews of the initial implementation. All the followup
commits have materialized only after public tree has been created,
