This patch adds two new system calls:
int pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long init_access_rights)
int pkey_free(int pkey);These implement an "allocator" for the protection keys
themselves, which can be thought of as analogous to the allocator
that the kernel has for file descriptors. The kernel tracks
which numbers are in use, and only allows operations on keys that
are valid. A key which was not obtained by pkey_alloc() may not,
for instance, be passed to pkey_mprotect().These system calls are also very important given the kernel's use
of pkeys to implement execute-only support. These help ensure
that userspace can never assume that it has control of a key
unless it first asks the kernel. The kernel does not promise to
preserve PKRU (right register) contents except for allocated
pkeys.The 'init_access_rights' argument to pkey_alloc() specifies the
rights that will be established for the returned pkey. For
instance:pkey = pkey_alloc(flags, PKEY_DENY_WRITE);
will allocate 'pkey', but also sets the bits in PKRU[1] such that
writing to 'pkey' is already denied.The kernel does not prevent pkey_free() from successfully freeing
in-use pkeys (those still assigned to a memory range by
pkey_mprotect()). It would be expensive to implement the checks
for this, so we instead say, "Just don't do it" since sane
software will never do it anyway.Any piece of userspace calling pkey_alloc() needs to be prepared
for it to fail. Why? pkey_alloc() returns the same error code
(ENOSPC) when there are no pkeys and when pkeys are unsupported.
They can be unsupported for a whole host of reasons, so apps must
be prepared for this. Also, libraries or LD_PRELOADs might steal
keys before an application gets access to them.This allocation mechanism could be implemented in userspace.
Even if we did it in userspace, we would still need additional
user/kernel interfaces to tell userspace which keys are being
used by the kernel internally (such as for execute-only
mappings). Having the kernel provide this facility completely
removes the need for these additional interfaces, or having an
implementation of this in userspace at all.Note that we have to make changes to all of the architectures
that do not use mman-common.h because we use the new
PKEY_DENY_ACCESS/WRITE macros in arch-independent code.1. PKRU is the Protection Key Rights User register. It is a
usermode-accessible register that controls whether writes
and/or access to each individual pkey is allowed or denied.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen

Memblock is the standard kernel boot-time memory tracker/allocator. Use
it instead of the custom sysmem allocator. This allows using kmemleak,
CMA and device tree memory reservation.Signed-off-by: Max Filippov
-
Now that the kernel load address and KSEG physical base address have
their own Kconfig symbols PLATFORM_DEFAULT_MEM seems redundant. It makes
little sense to use it in MMU configurations instead of KSEG_PADDR.
In noMMU configurations there's no explicit KSEG, so it's still useful
for the early cache initialization and definition of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET,
which affects mem_map size.- limit it to noMMU; MMU variants have XCHAL_KSEG_PADDR and
XCHAL_KSEG_SIZE;
- don't use it to define TASK_SIZE or MAX_LOW_PFN: first doesn't make
any difference in noMMU, second is meaningless as there's no high
memory;
- don't add default physical memory region: memory layout should come
from the DT, bootloader tags, or memmap= command line parameter.Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

configuration and configurable from Kconfig. Do not restrict it to the

- drop VIRTUAL_MEMORY_ADDRESS and LOAD_MEMORY_ADDRESS;
- introduce PHYS_OFFSET and use it in __va and __pa definitions;
- synchronize MMU/noMMU vectors, drop unused NMI vector;

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org
This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464599699-30131-2-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

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.

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints.
Add two new ptrace calls: PTRACE_GETHBPREGS and PTRACE_SETHBPREGS to
query and set instruction and data breakpoints.
Address bit 0 choose instruction (0) or data (1) break register, bits
31..1 are the register number.
Both calls transfer two 32-bit words: address (0) and control (1).
Instruction breakpoint contorl word is 0 to clear breakpoint, 1 to set.
Data breakpoint control word bit 31 is 'trigger on store', bit 30 is
'trigger on load, bits 29..0 are length. Length 0 is used to clear a
breakpoint. To set a breakpoint length must be a power of 2 in the range
1..64 and the address must be length-aligned.Introduce new thread_info flag: TIF_DB_DISABLED. Set it if debug
exception is raised by the kernel code accessing watched userspace
address and disable corresponding data breakpoint. On exit to userspace
check that flag and, if set, restore all data breakpoints.Handle debug exceptions raised with PS.EXCM set. This may happen when
window overflow/underflow handler or fast exception handler hits data
breakpoint, in which case save and disable all data breakpoints,
single-step faulting instruction and restore data breakpoints.Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

With implementation of data breakpoints debug exceptions raised when
PS.EXCM is set need to be handled, e.g. window overflow code can write
to watched userspace address. Currently debug exception handler uses
EXCSAVE and DEPC SRs to save temporary registers, but DEPC may not be
available when PS.EXCM is set and more space will be needed to save
additional state.
Reorganize debug context: create per-CPU structure debug_table instance
and store its address in the EXCSAVE instead of
debug_exception function address. Expand this structure when more save
space is needed.Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

For a long time all architectures implement the pci_dma_* functions using
the generic DMA API, and they all use the same header to do so.Move this header, pci-dma-compat.h, to include/linux and include it from
the generic pci.h instead of having each arch duplicate this include.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

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.Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert
