Commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the
logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when
panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g. from out_of_memory()).
The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in
oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.Fixes: 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out")

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it
static do not pollute the global namespace.But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()
It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)

Commit e509bd7da149 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts
by installing default action") breaks PCS wake up IRQ behaviour on
TI OMAP based platforms (dra7-evm).TI OMAP IRQ wake up configuration:
GIC-irqchip->PCM_IRQ
|- omap_prcm_register_chain_handler
|- PRCM-irqchip -> PRCM_IO_IRQ
|- pcs_irq_chain_handler
|- pinctrl-irqchip -> PCS_uart1_wakeup_irqThis happens because IRQ PM code (irq/pm.c) is expected to ignore
chained interrupts by default:
static bool suspend_device_irq(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
if (!desc->action || desc->no_suspend_depth)
return false;
- it's expected !desc->action = true for chained interrupts;but, after above change, all chained interrupt descriptors will
have default action handler installed - chained_action.
As result, chained interrupts will be silently disabled during system
suspend.Hence, fix it by introducing helper function irq_desc_is_chained() and
use it in suspend_device_irq() for chained interrupts identification
and skip them, once detected.Fixes: e509bd7da149 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts..")

guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit

The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its
RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires
a scheduler lock. If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side
critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler
locks, resulting in deadlock.However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI
handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections
can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks.
Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from
executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock. In theory,
this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out
from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce
some RCU CPU stall warning bugs.Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these
deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling
preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler
locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock(). This commit therefore
makes this change for perf_lock_task_context().Reported-by: Dave Jones

Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac67cb ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1446836846-22239-1-git-send-email-0x7f454c46@gmail.com

In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
some other.- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
and on slow console it takes time.- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
(which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
releases console lock.This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment text]

kexec output message misses the prefix "kexec", when Dave Young split the
kexec code. Now, we use file name as the output message prefix.Currently, the format of output message:
[ 140.290795] SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world
[ 140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, worldIdeally, the format of output message:
[ 30.791503] kexec: SYSC_kexec_load, Hello, world
[ 79.182752] kexec_core: sanity_check_segment_list, Hello, worldRemove the custom prefix "kexec" in output message.

task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the
coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set.change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if
other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least
oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it
should also kill the process which actually dumps the core.The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures
that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it
reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example,1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
group stop.2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
SIGKILL.And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.Daniel said:
Yeah the only times I played around with the DRM_LOCK stuff was when
old drivers accidentally deadlocked - my impression is that the entire
DRM_LOCK thing was never really tested properly ;-) Hence I'm all for
purging where this leaks out of the drm subsystem.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:
It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
messages can always be reliably determined.Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:The following call...
# printf 'Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer emptyHowever, this call...
# printf 'Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer emptyFix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.Fixes: 7ff9554bb578 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length...")

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

…d avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>

----------------------------- Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)- Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the
options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although
they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
trace_options file.- Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
specific options are global)- New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file,
then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
and the wakee pids"* tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (68 commits)

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1446797056-11683-1-git-send-email-hello.wjx@gmail.com

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes
