omapfb and omapdrm have shared low level drivers (omapdss and panel
drivers), making further development of omapdrm difficult. After
these patches omapfb and omapdrm have their own versions of the
drivers, which are more or less direct copies for now but will diverge
soon.This also means that omapfb (everything under drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/)
is now in maintenance mode, and all new development will be done for

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for v4.5.Notably there are big refactorings mostly by myself, aimed at getting
the gpio_chip into a shape that makes me believe I can proceed to
preserve state for a proper userspace ABI (character device) that has
already been proposed once, but resulted in the feedback that I need
to go back and restructure stuff. So I've been restructuring stuff.
On the way I ran into brokenness (return code from the get_value()
callback) and had to fix it. Also, refactored generic GPIO to be
simpler.Some of that is still waiting to trickle down from the subsystems all
over the kernel that provide random gpio_chips, I've touched every
single GPIO driver in the kernel now, oh man I didn't know I was
responsible for so much...Apart from that we're churning along as usual.
I took some effort to test and retest so it should merge nicely and we
shook out a couple of bugs in -next.Infrastructural changes:
- In struct gpio_chip, rename the .dev node to .parent to better
reflect the fact that this is not the GPIO struct device
abstraction. We will add that soon so this would be totallt
confusing.- It was noted that the driver .get_value() callbacks was sometimes
reporting negative -ERR values to the gpiolib core, expecting them
to be propagated to consumer gpiod_get_value() and gpio_get_value()
calls. This was not happening, so as there was a mess of drivers
returning negative errors and some returning "anything else than
zero" to indicate that a line was active. As some would have bit
31 set to indicate "line active" it clashed with negative error
codes. This is fixed by the largeish series clamping values in all
drivers with !!value to [0,1] and then augmenting the code to
propagate error codes to consumers. (Includes some ACKed patches
in other subsystems.)- Add a void *data pointer to struct gpio_chip. The container_of()
design pattern is indeed very nice, but we want to reform the
struct gpio_chip to be a non-volative, stateless business, and keep
states internal to the gpiolib to be able to hold on to the state
when adding a proper userspace ABI (character device) further down
the road. To achieve this, drivers need a handle at the internal
state that is not dependent on their struct gpio_chip() so we add
gpiochip_add_data() and gpiochip_get_data() following the pattern
of many other subsystems. All the "use gpiochip data pointer"
patches transforms drivers to this scheme.- The Generic GPIO chip header has been merged into the general
header, and the custom header for that
removed. Instead of having a separate mm_gpio_chip struct for
these generic drivers, merge that into struct gpio_chip,
simplifying the code and removing the need for separate and
confusing includes.Misc improvements:
- Stabilize the way GPIOs are looked up from the ACPI legacy
specification.- Incremental driver features for PXA, PCA953X, Lantiq (patches from
the OpenWRT community), RCAR, Zynq, PL061, 104-idi-48New drivers:
- Add a GPIO chip to the ALSA SoC AC97 driver.
- Add a new Broadcom NSP SoC driver (this lands in the pinctrl dir,
but the branch is merged here too to account for infrastructural
changes).- The sx150x driver now supports the sx1502"

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"We've had quite busy weeks in this cycle. Looking at ALSA core, the
significant changes are a few fixes wrt timer and sequencer ioctls
that have been revealed by fuzzer recently. Other than that, ASoC
core got a few updates about DAI link handling, but these are rather
straightforward refactoring.In drivers scene, ASoC received quite lots of new drivers in addition
to bunch of updates for still ongoing Intel Skylake support and
topology API. HD-audio gained a new HDMI/DP hotplug notification via
component. FireWire got a pile of code refactoring/updates with
SCS.1x driver integration.More highlights are shown below.
[ NOTE: this contains also many commits for DRM. This is due to the
pull of drm stable branch into sound tree, as the base of i915 audio
component work for HD-audio. The highlights below don't contain
these DRM changes, as these are supposed to be pulled via drm tree
in anyway sooner or later. ]Core:
- Handful fixes to harden ALSA timer and sequencer ioctls against
races reported by syzkaller fuzzer
- Irq description string can be unique to each card; only for
HD-audio for nowASoC:
- Conversion of the array of DAI links to a list for supporting
dynamically adding and removing DAI links
- Topology API enhancements to make everything more component based
and being able to specify PCM links via topology
- Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final
and ready for enabling in production; we really need to get to the
point where that can be done
- A pile of changes for Intel SkyLake drivers which hopefully deliver
some useful initial functionality for systems with this chipset,
though there is more work still to come
- Lots of new features and cleanups for the Renesas drivers
- ANC support for WM5110
- New drivers: Imagination Technologies IPs, Atmel class D speaker,
Cirrus CS47L24 and WM1831, Dialog DA7128, Realtek RT5659 and
RT56156, Rockchip RK3036, TI PC3168A, and AMD ACP

Pull clk framework updates from Michael Turquette:
"The clk framework and driver changes for 4.5 look pretty typical. The
bulk of the changes are to clk controller drivers, though some
improvements to the core and some re-usable blocks/templates also

handling the common case of patch submissions containing a new
drivers, new shared Device Tree header and a new Device Tree binding
description. This requires coordination with the Device Tree
maintainers and with the architecture maintainers (typically the
arm-soc tree in our case).This explains the increase in changes to include/dt-bindings/... and
to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/... coming from the clk
tree. The same commits can be expected to come through those trees on

the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the

the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to
exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security
vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data
which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to
the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater
range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a
larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for
fragmentation.The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for
the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec
in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values,
which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The
trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and
the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation
is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts
of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl
interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for
offset generation on a system.The direct motivation for this change was in response to the
libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to
information provided by Google's project zero at:http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html
The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically
targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the
mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack.
Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was
limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded
8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating
the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a
piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy
value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of
over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more
likely to be noticed.The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch
minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the
current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to
give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base
address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the
user-space accessible virtual address space.When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system
developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed
anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location,
which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base
address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced,
preventing very large allocations.This patch (of 4):
ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the
mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to
prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a
way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all
platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that
platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place
the trade-off.Signed-off-by: Daniel Cashman

There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc//status and /statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
place in swap.Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the /status file. Getting
the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
(the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
VmRSS in /proc//status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields
tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status
and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be
extended in the future, if there's a need for that.Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields:
VmPeak: 2001008 kB

Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for
shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages
that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous
mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when
swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks
like it was never faulted in.This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for
such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how
mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for.
For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped
out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of
the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their
page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a
sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that
were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen.The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous
mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in
question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let
them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and
subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all.
Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent
from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault
them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions
the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a
differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those
usecases.One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more
expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each
pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have
measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single
pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat
/proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.Private anonymous mapping:
real 0m0.949s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.348sMapping of a /dev/shm/file:
real 0m3.831s
user 0m0.180s
sys 0m3.212sThe difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the
cost for shared or read-only mappings.In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my
desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This
included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat
/proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times.Before this patch:
real 0m9.050s
user 0m0.518s
sys 0m8.066sAfter this patch:
real 0m9.221s
user 0m0.541s
sys 0m8.187sThis suggests low impact on average systems.
Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for
shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could
have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed
swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

This series is based on Jerome Marchand's [1] so let me quote the first
paragraph from there:There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(sysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping to a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc//status and statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file
mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place
in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they
aren't accounted at all.The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO
rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is
unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not
accounted for.The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is
that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As
such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in
/proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use
swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to
change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for
the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they
also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many
assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for
a relatively small benefit.Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and
provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who
are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps.
Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to
determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new
shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the
values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has
a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I
think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by
consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch
changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without
swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0.The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a
VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status.
Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might
help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still
rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks.[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/
This patch (of 6):
The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value
of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not
swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings).
This is not obvious, so document this limitation.Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

inode_nohighmem() is sufficient to make sure that page_get_link()
won't try to allocate a highmem page. Moreover, it is sufficient
to make sure that page_symlink/__page_symlink won't do the same
thing. However, any filesystem that manually preseeds the symlink's
page cache upon symlink(2) needs to make sure that the page it
inserts there won't be a highmem one.Fortunately, only nfs and shmem have run afoul of that...
