This merges the patch to fix possible loss of dirty bit on munmap() or
madvice(DONTNEED). If there are concurrent writers on other CPU's that
have the unmapped/unneeded page in their TLBs, their writes to the page
could possibly get lost if a third CPU raced with the TLB flush and did
a page_mkclean() before the page was fully written.Admittedly, if you unmap() or madvice(DONTNEED) an area _while_ another
thread is still busy writing to it, you deserve all the lost writes you
could get. But we kernel people hold ourselves to higher quality
standards than "crazy people deserve to lose", because, well, we've seen
people do all kinds of crazy things.So let's get it right, just because we can, and we don't have to worry
about it.* safe-dirty-tlb-flush:
mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts
26 Apr, 2014
2 commits
-
The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.Reported-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and
ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port
accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally. So
HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this.Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP.
The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT
that signals if outb/int et al are available. I will address that at
least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and
catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT.The changes in this commit were done using:

The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP
for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with
madvise is not an option (i.e. statically allocated data). This patch
allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the
system.We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance,
due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be
created by situations such as the following:When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will
be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was
originally referenced from. If many remote nodes need to do work on
that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses.With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as
they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to
memory.This patch is based on some of my work combined with some
suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov. The main goal here is to
add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct
basis.Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

This patch (of 3):
Revert commit 8e72033f2a48 and add in code to fix up any issues caused

when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this
patch set.Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of
this code, and providing justification for the revert:"The intent of commit 8e72033f2a48 was to guard against any future
programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on
guest mappings, which would crash the kernel.Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if
8e72033f2a48 was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent
a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a
SIGSEGV instead.This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if
needed, so it is a more flexible approach. One could also say that
it would have been better to do it this way right from the
beginning..."Signed-off-by: Alex Thorlton

The current uaccess code uses a page table walk in some circumstances,
e.g. in case of the in atomic futex operations or if running on old
hardware which doesn't support the mvcos instruction.However it turned out that the page table walk code does not correctly
lock page tables when accessing page table entries.
In other words: a different cpu may invalidate a page table entry while
the current cpu inspects the pte. This may lead to random data corruption.Adding correct locking however isn't trivial for all uaccess operations.
Especially copy_in_user() is problematic since that requires to hold at
least two locks, but must be protected against ABBA deadlock when a
different cpu also performs a copy_in_user() operation.So the solution is a different approach where we change address spaces:
User space runs in primary address mode, or access register mode within
vdso code, like it currently already does.The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
instruction on a user space address is performed.
KVM however is special, since that requires the kernel to run in home
address space while implicitly accessing user space with the sie
instruction.So we end up with:
User space:
- runs in primary or access register mode
- cr1 contains the user asce
- cr7 contains the user asce
- cr13 contains the kernel asceKernel space:
- runs in home space mode
- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
-> the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
secondary address mode
- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
- cr13 contains the kernel asceIn case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
spaceIn case of kvm the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
to contain the gmap asce before the sie instruction gets executed. When
the sie instruction is finished cr1 will be switched back to contain the
user asce.A context switch between two processes will always load the kernel asce
for the next process in cr1. So the first exit to user space is a bit
more expensive (one extra load control register instruction) than before,
however keeps the code rather simple.In sum this means there is no need to perform any error prone page table
walks anymore when accessing user space.The patch seems to be rather large, however it mainly removes the
the page table walk code and restores the previously deleted "standard"
uaccess code, with a couple of changes.The uaccess without mvcos mode can be enforced with the "uaccess_primary"
kernel parameter.Reported-by: Christian Borntraeger

and IPTE instruction. If the control is set only the TLB of the local
CPU is cleared of entries, either all entries of a single address space
for IDTE, or the entry for a single page-table entry for IPTE.
Without the local-clearing control the TLB flush is broadcasted to all
CPUs in the configuration, which is expensive.The reset of the bit mask of the CPUs that need flushing after a
non-local IDTE is tricky. As TLB entries for an address space remain
in the TLB even if the address space is detached a new bit field is
required to keep track of attached CPUs vs. CPUs in the need of a
flush. After a non-local flush with IDTE the bit-field of attached CPUs
is copied to the bit-field of CPUs in need of a flush. The ordering
of operations on cpu_attach_mask, attach_count and mm_cpumask(mm) is
such that an underindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is prevented but an
overindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is possible.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
-
The principles of operations states that the CPU is allowed to create
TLB entries for an address space anytime while an ASCE is loaded to
the control register. This is true even if the CPU is running in the
kernel and the user address space is not (actively) accessed.In theory this can affect two aspects of the TLB flush logic.
For full-mm flushes the ASCE of the dying process is still attached.
The approach to flush first with IDTE and then just free all page
tables can in theory lead to stale TLB entries. Use the batched
free of page tables for the full-mm flushes as well.For operations that can have a stale ASCE in the control register,
e.g. a delayed update_user_asce in switch_mm, load the kernel ASCE
to prevent invalid TLBs from being created.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

When reworking the bitops and atomic ops I missed that those instructions
that got atomic behaviour only perform a "specific-operand-serialization"
instead of a full "serialization".
The compare-and-swap instruction used before performs a full serialization
before and after the instruction is executed, which means it has full
memory barrier semantics.
In order to give the new bitops and atomic ops functions also full memory
barrier semantics add a "bcr 14,0" before and after each of those new
instructions which performs full serialization as well.This restores memory barrier semantics for bitops and atomic ops functions
which return values, like e.g. atomic_add_return(), but not for functions
which do not return a value, like e.g. atomic_add().
This is consistent to other architectures and what common code requires.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.13+

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

This patch adds a jited flag into sk_filter struct in order to indicate
whether a filter is currently jited or not. The size of sk_filter is
not being expanded as the 32 bit 'len' member allows upper bits to be
reused since a filter can currently only grow as large as BPF_MAXINSNS.Therefore, there's enough room also for other in future needed flags to
reuse 'len' field if necessary. The jited flag also allows for having
alternative interpreter functions running as currently, we can only
detect jit compiled filters by testing fp->bpf_func to not equal the
address of sk_run_filter().Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.
