  • KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
    This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
    number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

    Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the
    users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the
    __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
    corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

  • Sparc's syscall_get_arch was buggy: it returned the task arch, not the
    syscall arch. This could confuse seccomp and audit.

    I don't think this is as bad for seccomp as it looks: sparc's 32-bit and
    64-bit syscalls are numbered the same.

  • On sparc64 compat-enabled kernels, any task can make 32-bit and 64-bit
    syscalls. is_compat_task returns true in 32-bit tasks, which does not
    necessarily imply that the current syscall is 32-bit.

    Provide an in_compat_syscall implementation that checks whether the
    current syscall is compat.

    As far as I know, sparc is the only architecture on which is_compat_task
    checks the compat status of the task and on which the compat status of a
    syscall can differ from the compat status of the task. On x86,
    is_compat_task checks the syscall type, not the task type.

  • Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
    "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
    that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

    There's a background article at LWN.net:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

    The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
    user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
    fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
    and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
    protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
    cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
    virtual memory range.

    This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
    amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
    allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
    executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
    below).

    This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
    that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
    if a user-space application calls:

    mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

    or

    mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

    (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
    this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
    memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
    Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
    and unwritable.

    So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
    PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
    PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
    advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
    ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
    cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

    We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
    mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
    feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

    There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
    call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
    pull request.

    Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
    (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
    (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
    overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
    any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
    flip the default"

    3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

    4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
    of incoming TCP/UDP connections. The muxing can be done using a
    BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek.

    5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
    interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message
    boundaries. From Tom Herbert.

    6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

    7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
    with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like
    traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
    flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
    well.

    8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

    9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
    ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

    10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
    from Kan Liang.

    11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
    From David Decotigny.

    12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
    (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
    level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko.

    13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

    14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet
    the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
    checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
    of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage

  • Add ldmvsw.c driver

    Details:

    The ldmvsw driver very closely follows the sunvnet.c code and makes
    use of the sunvnet_common.c code for core functionality.

    A significant difference between sunvnet and ldmvsw driver is
    sunvnet creates a network interface for each vnet-port *parent*
    node in the MD while the ldmvsw driver creates a network interface
    for every vsw-port node in the Machine Description (MD).
    Therefore the netdev_priv() for sunvnet is a vnet structure while
    the netdev_priv() for ldmvsw is a vnet_port structure.

    Vnet_port structures allocated by ldmvsw have the vsw bit set.
    When finding the net_device associated with a port, the common code keys
    off this bit to use either the net_device found in the vnet_port or the
    net_device in the vnet structure (see the VNET_PORT_TO_NET_DEVICE() macro in
    sunvnet_common.h). This scheme allows the common code to work with
    both drivers with minimal changes.

    Similar to Xen, network interfaces created by the ldmvsw driver will always
    have a HW Addr (i.e. mac address) of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and each will be
    assigned the devname "vif." - where and
    are a unique handle/port pair assigned to the associated
    vsw-port node in the MD.

  • Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
    "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6. There is quite a
    lot of interesting stuff going on.

    The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
    possible, though I consider things like per-arch as
    essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.

    Core changes:

    - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*. Until now the gpio chips
    were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
    space outside of the device model.

    We now finally make GPIO chips devices. The gpio_chip will create
    a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
    struct is kept private. Anything that needs to be kept private
    from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
    gpio_device.

    - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
    resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
    overhead and reduce code lines. A huge slew of patches convert
    almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.

    - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
    a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device. We take small
    steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
    "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
    lines on these devices.

    We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace. We still have
    not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.

    - To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
    have it always-enabled when using GPIO. The old sysfs ABI is still
    opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.

    We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
    be extended to cover ever more use cases.

    Cleanup:

    - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture
    includes.

    This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
    library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
    provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement. These
    patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
    leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.

    Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.

    - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
    but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
    the errorpath is sanitized. Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
    unicore still drop in.

    - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
    implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
    lines.

    - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

    - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

    New drivers:

    - WinSystems WS16C48

    - Acces 104-DIO-48E

    - F81866 (a F7188x variant)

    - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)

    - TS-4800

    - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to
    SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.

    - Texas Instruments TPIC2810

    - Texas Instruments TPS65218

    - Texas Instruments TPS65912

    - X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller"

  • There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up:

    - 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it;

    - most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(),
    before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does
    the check.

    The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has
    different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd.

    - pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using
    pte_alloc().

  • Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
    "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

    - Initial implementation of the state machine

    - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
    not on some random processor

    - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

    - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

    More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
    "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

    - Asymmetry

    The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
    teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

    - Largely undocumented dependencies

    While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
    we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
    express dependencies without any documentation why.

    - Control processor driven

    Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
    processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
    like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
    of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
    there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
    processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

    Control CPU Booting CPU

    do preparatory steps
    kick cpu into life

    do low level init

    sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu

    bring the rest up

    - All or nothing approach

    There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
    really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
    time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
    as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
    other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
    synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

    - Minimal debuggability

    Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
    two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
    the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
    mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

    - Notifier [un]registering is tedious

    To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
    every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
    callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
    do it itself. That also includes error rollback.

    What's the new design?

    The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
    the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
    defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
    for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
    stopped and reversed at almost all states.

    So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

    Control CPU Booting CPU

    do preparatory steps
    kick cpu into life

    do low level init

    sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu

    bring itself up

    The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
    That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
    other mechanism.

    The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
    up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
    the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

    There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
    cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
    out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

    The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
    threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
    cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
    general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
    teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
    workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
    off completely.

    This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
    core level. This includes the following:

    - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
    ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

    - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

    This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
    the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
    the state machine array.

    For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
    a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
    explicit hotplug state.

    If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
    previous state.

    - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

    This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
    therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
    existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

    - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
    processor:

    Control CPU Booting CPU

    do preparatory steps
    kick cpu into life

    do low level init

    sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
    wait for boot
    bring itself up

    Signal completion to control cpu

    In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
    conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
    is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

    This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
    different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
    over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
    they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

    I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
    converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
    completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
    mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
    sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
    testable behaviour"

  • This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
    protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

    This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
    present in how we handle the data. For example there are a number of
    places that call htonl on the protocol value. This is likely not necessary
    and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
    converted to a shift by the compiler.

  • This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
    csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
    inputs. For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
    is actually an unsigned 8 bit value. The length is usually populated based
    on skb->len which is an unsigned integer.

    This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
    generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while
    csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits. As a result we could
    run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
    protocol agnostic way to update it.

    With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
    "(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
    greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
    the inner headers at ~64K in size.

    I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
    score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
    were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
    or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
    value.

    I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
    the addresses. Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
    were in sync going forward.

  • Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
    the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
    convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
    with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
    hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

  • This patch add the SO_CNX_ADVICE socket option (setsockopt only). The
    purpose is to allow an application to give feedback to the kernel about
    the quality of the network path for a connected socket. The value
    argument indicates the type of quality report. For this initial patch
    the only supported advice is a value of 1 which indicates "bad path,
    please reroute"-- the action taken by the kernel is to call
    dst_negative_advice which will attempt to choose a different ECMP route,
    reset the TX hash for flow label and UDP source port in encapsulation,
    etc.

    This facility should be useful for connected UDP sockets where only the
    application can provide any feedback about path quality. It could also
    be useful for TCP applications that have additional knowledge about the
    path outside of the normal TCP control loop.

  • Move the generic implementation to now that all
    architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
    that everyone supports them.

  • Sparc already uses the same code as the generic code for the PCI
    implementation but just fails the call sbus. This moves to the generic
    implemenation which eventually return -EIO due to the NULL dma_mask
    pointer in the device.

  • As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390
    support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to
    advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk.

    However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk()
    weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y. Given
    that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects
    STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.
