Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-5-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call
dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the
current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI. Similarly, the
forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not
support generating an NMI to self.Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic
mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of
the current cpu. It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack()
will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI
handler. The register state will be missing, but that state is likely
not particularly helpful in any case.Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the
current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to
nmi_cpu_backtrace().Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-3-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.This patch (of 4):
Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-2-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.
The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available. It seems it
was needed when not every arch defined it. However as of current code
the Kconfig option seems needless- for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
- arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
define the API in their headersSo I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option
Compile tested for:
- blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
- x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)

iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter()
copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into
the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the
page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible.
iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages()
and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the
pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance()
will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to.New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those.
pipe should be locked all along.Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones;
in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short
read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing
copied there.In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like
->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users,
as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched
to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

RIP page_cache_tree_insert+0xf1/0x100This is a long-standing bug in the way shadow entries are accounted in
the radix tree nodes. The shrinker needs to know when radix tree nodes
contain only shadow entries, no pages, so node->count is split in half
to count shadows in the upper bits and pages in the lower bits.Unfortunately, the radix tree implementation doesn't know of this and
assumes all entries are in node->count. When there is a shadow entry
directly in root->rnode and the tree is later extended, the radix tree
implementation will copy that entry into the new node and and bump its
node->count, i.e. increases the page count bits. Once the shadow gets
removed and we subtract from the upper counter, node->count underflows
and triggers the warning. Afterwards, without node->count reaching 0
again, the radix tree node is leaked.Limit shadow entries to when we have actual radix tree nodes and can
count them properly. That means we lose the ability to detect refaults
from files that had only the first page faulted in at eviction time.Fixes: 449dd6984d0e ("mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check")

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions:- Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the
drivers do not have to keep custom lists.- Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom
list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat
tip over to more lines removed than added.- Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.
- Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.
- Convert another batch of notifier users.
The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
shipped to me by Andrew.The remaining lot is targeted for 4.10 so that we finally can remove

"In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics'
that accumulated a lot of changes:- Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)- switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)
- A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)- More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)

Specifying the aligned attributes to the char data[NDISKS][PAGE_SIZE],
char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] and char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] arrays, so that all
malloc memory is page boundary aligned.Without these alignment attributes, the test causes a segfault in
userspace when the NDISKS are changed to 4 from 16.The RAID stripes will be page aligned anyway, so we want to test what

The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is
broken. The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged
pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the
pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits. But gcc will
notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will
avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly.This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to
validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and
using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer. And
once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer
directly.[ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel
right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is
that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said:"Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need
something. (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2]. It looks
okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't
know much about radix-tree internals.)"[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160915115523.29737-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com

This commit introduces a generic library to estimate either the min or
max value of a time-varying variable over a recent time window. This
is code originally from Kathleen Nichols. The current form of the code
is from Van Jacobson.A single struct minmax_sample will track the estimated windowed-max
value of the series if you call minmax_running_max() or the estimated
windowed-min value of the series if you call minmax_running_min().Nearly equivalent code is already in place for minimum RTT estimation
in the TCP stack. This commit extracts that code and generalizes it to
handle both min and max. Moving the code here reduces the footprint
and complexity of the TCP code base and makes the filter generally
available for other parts of the codebase, including an upcoming TCP
congestion control module.This library works well for time series where the measurements are
smoothly increasing or decreasing.Signed-off-by: Van Jacobson

The insecure_elasticity setting is an ugly wart brought out by
users who need to insert duplicate objects (that is, distinct
objects with identical keys) into the same table.In fact, those users have a much bigger problem. Once those
duplicate objects are inserted, they don't have an interface to
find them (unless you count the walker interface which walks
over the entire table).Some users have resorted to doing a manual walk over the hash
table which is of course broken because they don't handle the
potential existence of multiple hash tables. The result is that
they will break sporadically when they encounter a hash table
resize/rehash.This patch provides a way out for those users, at the expense
of an extra pointer per object. Essentially each object is now
a list of objects carrying the same key. The hash table will
only see the lists so nothing changes as far as rhashtable is
concerned.To use this new interface, you need to insert a struct rhlist_head
into your objects instead of struct rhash_head. While the hash
table is unchanged, for type-safety you'll need to use struct
rhltable instead of struct rhashtable. All the existing interfaces
have been duplicated for rhlist, including the hash table walker.One missing feature is nulls marking because AFAIK the only potential
user of it does not need duplicate objects. Should anyone need
this it shouldn't be too hard to add.Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
