There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error
This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false
positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to
be working fine here.Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning
This is another static warning which happens when I enable
__compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size
is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to
compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the
warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
code and the warning attribute is activated.)So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
__compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there
are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find
real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high.3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning
This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
object size.All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")
That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

This patch aims to get rid of endianness in queued_write_unlock(). We
want to set __qrwlock->wmode to NULL, however the address is not
&lock->cnts in big endian machine. That causes queued_write_unlock()
write NULL to the wrong field of __qrwlock.So implement __qrwlock_write_byte() which returns the correct
__qrwlock->wmode address.Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true
if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page
indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked
and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have
already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back.This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush
a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like
ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size
for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush
and starts a new mmu gather.[aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com: mm-change-the-interface-for-__tlb_remove_page-v3]

multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

Currently, if there was any irq or softirq time during 'ticks'
jiffies, the entire period will be accounted as irq or softirq
time.This is inaccurate if only a subset of the time was actually spent
handling irqs, and could conceivably mis-count all of the ticks during
a period as irq time, when there was some irq and some softirq time.This can actually happen when irqtime_account_process_tick is called
from account_idle_ticks, which can pass a larger number of ticks down
all at once.Fix this by changing irqtime_account_hi_update(), irqtime_account_si_update(),
and steal_account_process_ticks() to work with cputime_t time units, and
return the amount of time spent in each mode.Rename steal_account_process_ticks() to steal_account_process_time(), to
reflect that time is now accounted in cputime_t, instead of ticks.Additionally, have irqtime_account_process_tick() take into account how
much time was spent in each of steal, irq, and softirq time.The latter could help improve the accuracy of cputime
accounting when returning from idle on a NO_HZ_IDLE CPU.Properly accounting how much time was spent in hardirq and
softirq time will also allow the NO_HZ_FULL code to re-use
these same functions for hardirq and softirq accounting.Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel

With the inclusion of atomic FETCH-OP variants, many places in the
kernel can make use of atomic_fetch_$op() to avoid the callers that
need to compute the value/state _before_ the operation.Peter Zijlstra laid out the machinery but we are still missing the
simpler dec,inc() calls (which future patches will make use of).This patch only deals with the generic code, as at least right now
no arch actually implement them -- which is similar to what the

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

commit c74ba8b3480d ("arch: Introduce post-init read-only memory")
introduced the __ro_after_init attribute which allows to add variables
to the ro_after_init data section.This new section was added to rodata, even though it contains writable
data. This in turn causes problems on architectures which mark the
page table entries read-only that point to rodata very early.This patch allows architectures to implement an own handling of the
.data..ro_after_init section.
Usually that would be:
- mark the rodata section read-only very early
- mark the ro_after_init section read-only within mark_rodata_roSigned-off-by: Heiko Carstens

A while back Viro posted a number of 'interesting' mutex_is_locked()
users on IRC, one of those was RCU.RCU seems to use mutex_is_locked() to avoid doing mutex_trylock(), the
regular load before modify pattern.While the use isn't wrong per se, its curious in that its needed at all,
mutex_trylock() should be good enough on its own to avoid the pointless
cacheline bounces.So fix those and remove the mutex_is_locked() (ab)use from RCU.

Convert the rwsem count variable to an atomic_long_t since we use it
as an atomic variable. This also allows us to remove the
rwsem_atomic_{add,update}() "abstraction" which would now be an unnecesary
level of indirection. In follow up patches, we also remove the

While this prior commit:
54cf809b9512 ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()")
... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage
in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the
usage in task_work and futex.So while the 2 locks crossed problem:
spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B)
if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A)
foo() foo();... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and
spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for:flag = 1;
smp_mb(); spin_lock()
spin_unlock_wait() if (!flag)
// add to lockless list
// iterate lockless list... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed
past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the
guarantee.This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in
both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte
store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself
visibly in other state contained in the word.It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC
and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no
generic solution.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

No architecture uses the genrtc driver any more, so let's kill it off
for good. This now also includes asm-generic/rtc.h, which is otherwise
completely unused.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann
Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven
Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni -
Drivers should not really include stuff from asm-generic directly,
and the PC-style cmos rtc driver does this in order to reuse the
mc146818 implementation of get_rtc_time/set_rtc_time rather than
the architecture specific one for the architecture it gets built for.To make it more obvious what is going on, this moves and renames the
two functions into include/linux/mc146818rtc.h, which holds the
other mc146818 specific code. Ideally it would be in a .c file,
but that would require extra infrastructure as the functions are
called by multiple drivers with conflicting dependencies.With this change, the asm-generic/rtc.h header also becomes much
more generic, so it can be reused more easily across any architecture
that still relies on the genrtc driver.The only caller of the internal __get_rtc_time/__set_rtc_time
functions is in arch/alpha/kernel/rtc.c, and we just change those
over to the new naming.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

big-endian accessors to have the correct barriers, and all others
don't use barriers at all."-suggests a fix for the same problem in existing code (16/32-bit

work correctly on all architectures without them having to override

51d7d5205d33 ("powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked()")
d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers")qspinlock suffers from the fact that the _Q_LOCKED_VAL store is
unordered inside the ACQUIRE of the lock.And while this is not a problem for the regular mutual exclusive
critical section usage of spinlocks, it breaks creative locking like:spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B)
spin_unlock_wait(B) if (!spin_is_locked(A))
do_something() do_something()In that both CPUs can end up running do_something at the same time,
because our _Q_LOCKED_VAL store can drop past the spin_unlock_wait()
spin_is_locked() loads (even on x86!!).To avoid making the normal case slower, add smp_mb()s to the less used
spin_unlock_wait() / spin_is_locked() side of things to avoid this
problem.Reported-and-tested-by: Davidlohr Bueso

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Vikram reported that his ARM64 compiler managed to 'optimize' away the
preempt_count manipulations in code like:preempt_enable_no_resched();
put_user();
preempt_disable();Irrespective of that fact that that is horrible code that should be
fixed for many reasons, it does highlight a deficiency in the generic
preempt_count manipulators. As it is never right to combine/elide
preempt_count manipulations like this.Therefore sprinkle some volatile in the two generic accessors to
ensure the compiler is aware of the fact that the preempt_count is
observed outside of the regular program-order view and thus cannot be
optimized away like this.x86; the only arch not using the generic code is not affected as we
do all this in asm in order to use the segment base per-cpu stuff.Reported-by: Vikram Mulukutla

The generic copy_siginfo() is currently defined in
asm-generic/siginfo.h, after including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h which
defines the generic struct siginfo. However this makes it awkward for an
architecture to use it if it has to define its own struct siginfo (e.g.
MIPS and potentially IA64), since it means that asm-generic/siginfo.h
can only be included after defining the arch-specific siginfo, which may
be problematic if the arch-specific definition needs definitions from
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h.It is possible to work around this by first including
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h to get the constants before defining the
arch-specific siginfo, and include asm-generic/siginfo.h after. However
uapi headers can't be included by other uapi headers, so that first
include has to be in an ifdef __kernel__, with the non __kernel__ case
including the non-UAPI header instead.Instead of that mess, move the generic copy_siginfo() definition into
linux/signal.h, which allows an arch-specific uapi/asm/siginfo.h to
include asm-generic/siginfo.h and define the arch-specific siginfo, and
for the generic copy_siginfo() to see that arch-specific definition.Signed-off-by: James Hogan
