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)

This is a generally useful data structure, so make it available to
anyone else who might want to use it. It's also a nice cleanup
separating the allocation logic from the rest of the tag handling logic.The code is behind a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_SBITMAP, which is only
selected by CONFIG_BLOCK for now.This should be a complete noop functionality-wise.

Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/depot_stack_handle/depot_stack_handle_t]

The sw842 library code was merged in linux-4.1 and causes a very rare randconfig

lib/built-in.o: In function `sw842_decompress':

of the crc32 code have. In practice, CRC32 is always enabled anyway because
over 100 other symbols select it.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits)

This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For
rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was
done on a random lab machine.PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/sPMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/sTo be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler

Sometimes a scatter-gather has to be split into several chunks, or sub
scatter lists. This happens for example if a scatter list will be
handled by multiple DMA channels, each one filling a part of it.A concrete example comes with the media V4L2 API, where the scatter list
is allocated from userspace to hold an image, regardless of the
knowledge of how many DMAs will fill it :
- in a simple RGB565 case, one DMA will pump data from the camera ISP
to memory
- in the trickier YUV422 case, 3 DMAs will pump data from the camera
ISP pipes, one for pipe Y, one for pipe U and one for pipe VFor these cases, it is necessary to split the original scatter list into
multiple scatter lists, which is the purpose of this patch.The guarantees that are required for this patch are :
- the intersection of spans of any couple of resulting scatter lists is
empty.
- the union of spans of all resulting scatter lists is a subrange of
the span of the original scatter list.
- streaming DMA API operations (mapping, unmapping) should not happen
both on both the resulting and the original scatter list. It's either
the first or the later ones.
- the caller is reponsible to call kfree() on the resulting
scatterlists.Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.Thanks to: Ross Zwisler, Jeff Moyer, Vishal Verma, Christoph Hellwig,

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but

Add 842-format software compression and decompression functions.
Update the MAINTAINERS 842 section to include the new files.The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842
compression format. The 842 decompression function can decompress any
standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed
data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a
compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located
in PowerPC coprocessors).The 842 compressed data format is explained in the header comments.
This is used in a later patch to provide a full software 842 compression
and decompression crypto interface.Signed-off-by: Dan Streetman

Using these functions with offstack cpus is unsafe. They use all NR_CPUS

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong. If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies. This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

This was useful during development, and is retained for future
regression testing.GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
module load.Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
arrays. Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read. At least the
tests are more compact.Signed-off-by: George Spelvin

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:

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
"In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
taking over as maintainer of that code.Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:"Okay. There are a number of separate bits. I'll go over the big bits
and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
fixes and cleanups. If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
do that too.(1) Keyring capacity expansion.
KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
Add a generic associative array implementation.
KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyringSeveral of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
keyring. Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box. However, since the NFS idmapper uses
a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
the cause.Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
may point to a single key. This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
struct into the key struct for this purpose.I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
in the keyring. It would, however, be able to use much existing code.I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio. I could have used the
radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
the whole radix tree. Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
type pointer and the key description. This means that an exact lookup by
type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
the target key.I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
pointer. It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
also. FS-Cache might, for example.(2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.
KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signingThese patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
addition or linkage of trusted keys.Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
during build are marked as being trusted automatically. New keys can be
loaded at runtime with add_key(). They are checked against the system
keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
thus be added into the master keyring.Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.
(3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.
X.509: Remove certificate date checks
It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
loaded - so just remove those checks.(4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.
KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicateThe builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.(5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.
KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfsFedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
easily.To make this work, two things were needed:
(a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
happens), so neither of these places is suitable.I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
created for each UID on request. Each time a user requests their
persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew. If the user
doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
expired and garbage collected using the existing gc. All the kerberos
tokens it held are then also gc'd.(b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).
The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
of auxiliary data attached. We don't, however, want to eat up huge
tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
inode and a dentry overhead. If the ticket is smaller than that, we
slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"* 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (121 commits)
