Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"These are three simple changes.The first one is just a switch from using strcpy() to strlcpy().
Someone thought that it may cause an overflow bug, but since it only
copies comms into a pre-allocated array of TASK_COMM_LEN, and no comm
should ever be bigger than that, nor not end with a nul character,
this change is more of a safety precaution than fixing anything that
is actually broken.The other two changes are simply cleaning and optimizing some code"

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170307141020.29107-1-mhocko@kernel.org

alloc_pidmap() advances pid_namespace::last_pid. When first pid
allocation fails, then next created process will have pid 2 and
pid_ns_prepare_proc() won't be called. So, pid_namespace::proc_mnt will
never be initialized (not to mention that there won't be a child
reaper).I saw crash stack of such case on kernel 3.10:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

allocations. Since there was a similar issue in Oleg Nesterov's commit
314a8ad0f18a ("pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure").
and it was fixed via prohibiting allocation, let's follow this way, and
do the same.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/149201021004.4863.6762095011554287922.stgit@localhost.localdomain

Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and
reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4.Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel
parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec
support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of
fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump.The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo
related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The
second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch
removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump)
in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving
memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This
has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports,
for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation
about use of crashkernel parameter.This patch (of 5):
Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel
parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config,
allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no
functional change with this patch.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/149035338104.6881.4550894432615189948.stgit@hbathini.in.ibm.com

Using virtually mapped stack, kernel stacks are allocated via vmalloc.
In the current implementation, two stacks per cpu can be cached when
tasks are freed and the cached stacks are used again in task
duplications. But the cached stacks may remain unfreed even when cpu
are offline. By adding a cpu hotplug callback to free the cached stacks
when a cpu goes offline, the pages of the cached stacks are not wasted.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1487076043-17802-1-git-send-email-hoeun.ryu@gmail.com

When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs
locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by
commit b2d4c2edb2e4 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks").For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from
for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for
1000 times. This is a too much noise.In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should
avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop
because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread()
loop. Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or
leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1489296834-60436-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp

do_proc_dointvec_jiffies_conv() uses LONG_MAX/HZ as the max value to
avoid overflow. But actually the *valp is int type, so it still causes
overflow.For example,
echo 2147483647 > ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
Then,
cat ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
The output is "-1", it is not expected.
Now use INT_MAX/HZ as the max value instead LONG_MAX/HZ to fix it.

"Highlights include:- Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
Interface Architecture 2.0".- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
runtime.- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
aid debugging and robustness.- Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Dan Carpenter sent a patch to remove a check in ftrace_match_record()
because the logic of the code made the check redundant. I looked deeper into
the code, and made the following logic table, with the three variables and
the result of the original code.modname mod_matches exclude_mod result
------- ----------- ----------- ------
0 0 0 return 0
0 0 1 func_match
0 1 * < cannot exist >
1 0 0 return 0
1 0 1 func_match
1 1 0 func_match
1 1 1 return 0Notice that when mod_matches == exclude mod, the result is always to
return 0, and when mod_matches != exclude_mod, then the result is to test
the function. This means we only need test if mod_matches is equal to
exclude_mod.Cc: Dan Carpenter

GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:
- to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
context would be needed during the memory reclaim- to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
allocation is performed from a deep context already- to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly- just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV
- silence lockdep false positives
Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.
Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment typo, reflow comment]

The current implementation of the reclaim lockup detection can lead to
false positives and those even happen and usually lead to tweak the code
to silence the lockdep by using GFP_NOFS even though the context can use
__GFP_FS just fine.See
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160512080321.GA18496@dastard
as an example.

"Ignoring whether reflink should be doing anything or not, that's a
"xfs_refcountbt_init_cursor() gets called both outside and inside
transactions" lockdep false positive case. The problem here is lockdep
has seen this allocation from within a transaction, hence a GFP_NOFS
allocation, and now it's seeing it in a GFP_KERNEL context. Also note
that we have an active reference to this inode.So, because the reclaim annotations overload the interrupt level
detections and it's seen the inode ilock been taken in reclaim
("interrupt") context, this triggers a reclaim context warning where
it thinks it is unsafe to do this allocation in GFP_KERNEL context
holding the inode ilock..."This sounds like a fundamental problem of the reclaim lock detection.
It is really impossible to annotate such a special usecase IMHO unless
the reclaim lockup detection is reworked completely. Until then it is
much better to provide a way to add "I know what I am doing flag" and
mark problematic places. This would prevent from abusing GFP_NOFS flag
which has a runtime effect even on configurations which have lockdep
disabled.Introduce __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag which tells the lockdep gfp tracking to
skip the current allocation request.While we are at it also make sure that the radix tree doesn't
accidentaly override tags stored in the upper part of the gfp_mask.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170306131408.9828-3-mhocko@kernel.org

Patch series "scope GFP_NOFS api", v5.
This patch (of 7):
Commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore)
functions to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O
during memory allocation.This was further extended in commit 934f3072c17c ("mm: clear __GFP_FS
when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set").memalloc_noio_* functions prevent allocation paths recursing back into
the filesystem without explicitly changing the flags for every
allocation site.However, lockdep hasn't been keeping up with the changes and it entirely
misses handling the memalloc_noio adjustments. Instead, it is left to
the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to call the function after they
have shaven the respective GFP flags which can lead to false positives:=================================

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from

Cong Wang correctly pointed out that the RCU read locking of the
auditd_connection struct was wrong, this patch correct this by
adopting a more traditional, and correct RCU locking model.This patch is heavily based on an earlier prototype by Cong Wang.

The audit subsystem implemented its own buffer cache mechanism which
is a bit silly these days when we could use the kmem_cache construct.Some credit is due to Florian Westphal for originally proposing that
we remove the audit cache implementation in favor of simple
kmalloc()/kfree() calls, but I would rather have a dedicated slab
cache to ease debugging and future stats/performance work.Cc: Florian Westphal

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Audit timestamps are recorded in string format into
an audit buffer for a given context.
These mark the entry timestamps for the syscalls.
Use y2038 safe struct timespec64 to represent the times.
The log strings can handle this transition as strings can
hold upto 1024 characters.Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani
