Because we may call blk_mq_get_driver_tag() directly from
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() without holding any lock, then HARDIRQ may
come and the above DEADLOCK is triggered.Commit ab53dcfb3e7b ("sbitmap: Protect swap_lock from hardirq") tries to
fix this issue by using 'spin_lock_bh', which isn't enough because we
complete request from hardirq context direclty in case of multiqueue.Cc: Clark Williams

The swap_lock used by sbitmap has a chain with locks taken from softirq,
but the swap_lock is not protected from being preempted by softirqs.A chain exists of:
sbq->ws[i].wait -> dispatch_wait_lock -> swap_lock
Where the sbq->ws[i].wait lock can be taken from softirq context, which
means all locks below it in the chain must also be protected from
softirqs.Reported-by: Clark Williams

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endifWe can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G. In some
cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of the
memory buddy system (4K default).So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap. Also use vfree to free
it.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181225015701.6289-1-sjhuang@iluvatar.ai

Contrary to other tests, test_find_next_and_bit() test uses tab
formatting in output and get_cycles() instead of ktime_get().
get_cycles() is not supported by some arches, so ktime_get() fits better
in generic code.Fix it and minor style issues, so the output looks like this:

gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing
different allocation algorithms. With gen_pool_first_fit_align()
allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the
requested boundary.If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the
returned address isn't aligned too. The only way to get properly
aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the
requested boundary. If want to have an ability to allocate buffers
aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk
start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment.This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly
aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address
alignment.To fix this, we provide chunk start address to
gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it
starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset
(exactly as is done in CMA).Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/a170cf65-6884-3592-1de9-4c235888cc8a@intel.com

Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok()
separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the
direct (optimized) user access.But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok()
at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or
similar. Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has
actually been range-checked.If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either
SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged
Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin(). But
nothing really forces the range check.By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force
people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible
near the actual accesses. We have way too long a history of people
trying to avoid them.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.This contains:
- Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)
- Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)
- Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)
- bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
* Optimizations for writeback caching
* Various fixes and improvements- nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
* host and target support for NVMe over TCP
* Error log page support
* Support for separate read/write/poll queues
* Much improved polling
* discard OOM fallback
* Tracepoint improvements- lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
* Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
per LBA can be used as well.
* Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
* Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
* Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
code.
* Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
* Small geometry cleanup from me.- Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
blk-mq (me)- Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)
- Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)
- Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
coming in the next release.- Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)
- Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)
- Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)
- sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)
- IO priority improvements (Damien)
- mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)
- Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)
- Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)
- sbitmap scalability improvements (me)
- Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)
- Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)
- Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)
- Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
(Ming)- Lots of other fixes and improvements"

The current ioremap() code uses a phys_addr variable at each level of page
table, which is confusingly offset by subtracting the base virtual address
being mapped so that adding the current virtual address back on when
iterating through the page table entries gives back the corresponding
physical address.This is fairly confusing and results in all users of phys_addr having to
add the current virtual address back on. Instead, this patch just updates
phys_addr when iterating over the page table entries, ensuring that it's
always up-to-date and doesn't require explicit offsetting.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1544120495-17438-5-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com

The recently merged API for ensuring break-before-make on page-table
entries when installing huge mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap region is
fairly counter-intuitive, resulting in the arch freeing functions (e.g.
pmd_free_pte_page()) being called even on entries that aren't present.
This resulted in a minor bug in the arm64 implementation, giving rise to
spurious VM_WARN messages.This patch moves the pXd_present() checks out into the core code,
refactoring the callsites at the same time so that we avoid the complex
conjunctions when determining whether or not we can put down a huge
mapping.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1544120495-17438-2-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com

Function show_mem() is used to print system memory status when user
requires or fail to allocate memory. Generally, this is a best effort
information so any races with memory hotplug (or very theoretically an
early initialization) should be tolerable and the worst that could happen
is to print an imprecise node state.Drop the resize lock because this is the only place which might hold the
lock from the interrupt context and so all other callers might use a
simple spinlock. Even though this doesn't solve any real issue it makes
the code easier to follow and tiny more effective.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181129235532.9328-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com

totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.This patch converts zone->managed_pages. Subsequent patches will convert
totalram_panges, totalhigh_pages and eventually managed_page_count_lock
will be removed.Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542090790-21750-3-git-send-email-arunks@codeaurora.org

The current value of the early boot static pool size, 1024 is not big
enough for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue
objects selected. As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer
and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled".Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot. Enabling some
options like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required
significantly with large number of CPUs. For example,CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS:
No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects:
start_kernel
workqueue_init_early
init_worker_pool
init_timer_key

This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two:
1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one
that exists now);
2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode.The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have
another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory
tagging support in arm64.With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to
instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones
for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set).Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes.This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of
tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts
common hooks implementation.While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option
is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will
enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b2550106eb8a68b10fefbabce820910b115aa853.1544099024.git.andreyknvl@google.com

include:- Syscall tables & definitions for unistd.h are now generated by
scripts, providing greater consistency with other architectures &
making it easier to add new syscalls.- Support for building kernels with no floating point support, upon
which any userland attempting to use floating point instructions
will receive a SIGILL. Mostly useful to shrink the kernel & as
preparation for nanoMIPS support which does not yet include FP.- MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) vector register context is now exposed
by ptrace via a new NT_MIPS_MSA regset.- ASIDs are now stored as 64b values even for MIPS32 kernels,
expanding the ASID version field sufficiently that we don't need to
worry about overflow & avoiding rare issues with reused ASIDs that
have been observed in the wild.- The branch delay slot "emulation" page is now mapped without write
permission for the user, preventing its use as a nice location for
attacks to execute malicious code from.- Support for ioremap_prot(), primarily to allow gdb or other ptrace
users the ability to view their tracee's memory using the same
cache coherency attribute.- Optimizations to more cpu_has_* macros, allowing more to be
compile-time constant where possible.- Enable building the whole kernel with UBSAN instrumentation.
- Enable building the kernel with link-time dead code & data
elimination.Platform specific changes include:
- The Boston board gains a workaround for DMA prefetching issues with
the EG20T Platform Controller Hub that it uses.- Cleanups to Cavium Octeon code removing about 20k lines of
redundant code, mostly unused or duplicate register definitions in
headers.- defconfig updates for the DECstation machines, including new

Jann Horn points out that we're using unsigned int for len in
seq_buf_puts(), which could potentially overflow if we're passed a
UINT_MAX sized string.The rest of the code already uses size_t, so we should also use that
in seq_buf_puts() to avoid any issues.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181019042109.8064-2-mpe@ellerman.id.au

Currently seq_buf_puts() will happily create a non null-terminated
string for you in the buffer. This is particularly dangerous if the
buffer is on the stack.For example:
char buf[8];
char secret = "secret";
struct seq_buf s;seq_buf_init(&s, buf, sizeof(buf));
seq_buf_puts(&s, "foo");
printk("Message is %s\n", buf);Can result in:
Message is fooªªªªªsecret
We could require all users to memset() their buffer to zero before
use. But that seems likely to be forgotten and lead to bugs.Instead we can change seq_buf_puts() to always leave the buffer in a
null-terminated state.The only downside is that this makes the buffer 1 character smaller
for seq_buf_puts(), but that seems like a good trade off.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181019042109.8064-1-mpe@ellerman.id.au
