This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version
of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
or otherwise restricted environments.Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
an appropriate generalization.Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the
AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).Related history:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
"prevent other people from wasting their time".
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
been fixed.This patch (of 4):
Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat()
is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
resolves the filename relative to that.In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This
replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/" (and
so relies on /proc being mounted).The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/"
(for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd//", effectively
reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that
execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
accessible after exec).Based on patches by Meredydd Luff.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Pull nmi-safe seq_buf printk update from Steven Rostedt:
"This code is a fork from the trace-3.19 pull as it needed the
trace_seq clean ups from that branch.This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in
practice.With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
accepted into mainline.Here's what is contained in this patch set:
- Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of
the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.- The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have a
patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was
done to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I
may try to get that patch in for 3.20.- The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being
dependent on CONFIG_TRACING.- The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of the
internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow
the NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack()
without needing to update that code as well.- Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would
wait till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the
seq_buf data to the console safely from a non NMI contextOne added bonus is that this code also makes the NMI dump stack work
on PREEMPT_RT kernels. As printk() includes sleeping locks on
PREEMPT_RT, printk() only writes to console if the console does not
use any rt_mutex converted spin locks. Which a lot do"* tag 'trace-seq-buf-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:

dma_debug_init() is called by architecture specific code at different
levels, but typically as a fs_initcall due to the debugfs initialization.
Some platforms may have early callers of the DMA-API, running prior to the
fs_initcall() level, which is not much of an issue unless
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is set. When the DMA-API debugging facilities are
turned on a caller will go through:debug_dma_map_{single,page}
-> dma_mapping_error (inline function usually)
-> debug_dma_mapping_error
-> get_hash_bucketCalling get_hash_bucket() returns a valid hash value since we hash on high
bits of the dma_addr cookie, but we will grab an unitialized spinlock,
which typically won't crash but produce a warning, the real crash will
however happen during the bucket list traversal because the list has not
been initialized yet.An obvious solution is of course to move some of the offenders to run
after the fs_initcall level, but since this might not always be an option,
we add a flag "dma_debug_initialized" which is set to false by default,
and set to true once dma_debug_init() has had a chance to run.The dma_debug_disabled() helper function previously introduced just needs
to check for dma_debug_initialized to allow the caller to proceed or not.Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").Cc: Francesco Fusco

This patch effectively reverts commit 500f80872645 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd565553 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.[1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/299369/

drivers/net/ieee802154/fakehard.cA bug fix went into 'net' for ieee802154/fakehard.c, which is removed
in 'net-next'.Add build fix into the merge from Stephen Rothwell in openvswitch, the
logging macros take a new initial 'log' argument, a new call was added
in 'net' so when we merge that in here we have to explicitly add the
new 'log' arg to it else the build fails.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The seq_buf functions are rather useful outside of tracing. Instead
of having it be dependent on CONFIG_TRACING, move the code into lib/
and allow other users to have access to it even when tracing is not
configured.The seq_buf utility is similar to the seq_file utility, but instead of
writing sending data back up to userland, it writes it into a buffer
defined at seq_buf_init(). This allows us to send a descriptor around
that writes printf() formatted strings into it that can be retrieved
later.It is currently used by the tracing facility for such things like trace
events to convert its binary saved data in the ring buffer into an
ASCII human readable context to be displayed in /sys/kernel/debug/trace.It can also be used for doing NMI prints safely from NMI context into
the seq_buf and retrieved later and dumped to printk() safely. Doing
printk() from an NMI context is dangerous because an NMI can preempt
a current printk() and deadlock on it.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140619213952.058255809@goodmis.org

This reverts commit e5a2c899957659cd1a9f789bc462f9c0b35f5150.
Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2,
that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the
X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2.Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be
suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled
properly for the called functions. The __jhash2 function in particular
clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via
alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of
arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2. It is possible that
__intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer
registers.This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse
Gross .Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh
