Interactive governor has lived in Android sources for a very long time
and this commit is based on the code present in following branch:https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common android-4.4
The Interactive governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads,
such as interactive user interfaces like the mobile phones and tablets.
The interactive governor aims to be significantly more responsive to
ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive activity begins.Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically every
X ms and then update the frequency from a work-handler. This can lead
to under-powering UI threads for the period of time during which the
user begins interacting with a previously-idle system until the next
sample period happens.The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach.
A real-time thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks
the CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more
likely to schedule ramp-up work to occur after your performance starved
tasks have completed.The Android version of interactive governor also checks whether to scale
the CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes
out of idle, the governor check if the CPU sampling is overdue or not.
If yes, it immediately starts the sampling. Otherwise, the utilization
hooks from the scheduler handle the sampling later. If the CPU is very
busy from exiting idle to when the evaluation happens, then it assumes
that the CPU is under-powered and ramps it to MAX speed.If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed,
then the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed
adjustment, choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or
the short-term load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp
to.Idle notifiers will be be handled later and are not included for now.
The core of this code is written and maintained (in Android
repositories) by Mike Chan and Todd Poyner over a long period of time.Vireshk has made changes to to the governor to align it with the current
practices followed with mainline governors, like using utilization hooks
from the scheduler and handling kobject (for governor's sysfs directory)
in a race free manner. And of course this included general cleanup of
the governor as well.Signed-off-by: Mike Chan

commit fde872682e175743e0c3ef939c89e3c6008a1529 upstream.
Some time back, nfsd switched from calling vfs_fsync() to using a new
commit_metadata() hook in export_operations(). If the file system did
not provide a commit_metadata() hook, it fell back to using
sync_inode_metadata(). Unfortunately doesn't work on all file
systems. In particular, it doesn't work on ext4 due to how the inode
gets journalled --- the VFS writeback code will not always call
ext4_write_inode().So we need to provide our own ext4_nfs_commit_metdata() method which
calls ext4_write_inode() directly.Google-Bug-Id: 121195940

commit 3f5fe9fef5b2da06b6319fab8123056da5217c3f upstream.
The recent conversion of the task state recording to use task_state_index()
broke the sched_switch tracepoint task state output.task_state_index() returns surprisingly an index (0-7) which is then
printed with __print_flags() applying bitmasks. Not really working and
resulting in weird states like 'prev_state=t' instead of 'prev_state=I'.Use TASK_REPORT_MAX instead of TASK_STATE_MAX to report preemption. Build a
bitmask from the return value of task_state_index() and store it in
entry->prev_state, which makes __print_flags() work as expected.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

commit 4ff648decf4712d39f184fc2df3163f43975575a upstream.
Since the following commit:
b91473ff6e97 ("sched,tracing: Update trace_sched_pi_setprio()")
the sched_pi_setprio trace point shows the "newprio" during a deboost:
|futex sched_pi_setprio: comm=futex_requeue_p pid"34 oldprio newprio=3D98
|futex sched_switch: prev_comm=futex_requeue_p prev_pid"34 prev_prio=120This patch open codes __rt_effective_prio() in the tracepoint as the
'newprio' to get the old behaviour back / the correct priority:|futex sched_pi_setprio: comm=futex_requeue_p pid"20 oldprio newprio=3D120
|futex sched_switch: prev_comm=futex_requeue_p prev_pid"20 prev_prio=120Peter suggested to open code the new priority so people using tracehook
could get the deadline data out.Reported-by: Mansky Christian

commit 45dd9b0666a162f8e4be76096716670cf1741f0e upstream.
Doing an audit of trace events, I discovered two trace events in the xen
subsystem that use a hack to create zero data size trace events. This is not
what trace events are for. Trace events add memory footprint overhead, and
if all you need to do is see if a function is hit or not, simply make that
function noinline and use function tracer filtering.Worse yet, the hack used was:
__array(char, x, 0)
Which creates a static string of zero in length. There's assumptions about
such constructs in ftrace that this is a dynamic string that is nul
terminated. This is not the case with these tracepoints and can cause
problems in various parts of ftrace.Nuke the trace events!

flush_tlb_single() and flush_tlb_one() sound almost identical, but
they really mean "flush one user translation" and "flush one kernel
translation". Rename them to flush_tlb_one_user() and
flush_tlb_one_kernel() to make the semantics more obvious.[ I was looking at some PTI-related code, and the flush-one-address code
is unnecessarily hard to understand because the names of the helpers are
uninformative. This came up during PTI review, but no one got around to
doing it. ]Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski

[ Upstream commit f859ab61875978eeaa539740ff7f7d91f5d60006 ]
RxRPC service endpoints expire like they're supposed to by the following
means:(1) Mark dead rxrpc_net structs (with ->live) rather than twiddling the
global service conn timeout, otherwise the first rxrpc_net struct to
die will cause connections on all others to expire immediately from
then on.(2) Mark local service endpoints for which the socket has been closed
(->service_closed) so that the expiration timeout can be much
shortened for service and client connections going through that
endpoint.(3) rxrpc_put_service_conn() needs to schedule the reaper when the usage
count reaches 1, not 0, as idle conns have a 1 count.(4) The accumulator for the earliest time we might want to schedule for
should be initialised to jiffies + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, not ULONG_MAX as
the comparison functions use signed arithmetic.(5) Simplify the expiration handling, adding the expiration value to the
idle timestamp each time rather than keeping track of the time in the
past before which the idle timestamp must go to be expired. This is
much easier to read.(6) Ignore the timeouts if the net namespace is dead.
(7) Restart the service reaper work item rather the client reaper.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170118054945.GD18349@bombadil.infradead.org

Using bpf_redirect_map is allowed for generic XDP programs, but the
appropriate map lookup was never performed in xdp_do_generic_redirect().Instead the map-index is directly used as the ifindex. For the
xdp_redirect_map sample in SKB-mode '-S', this resulted in trying
sending on ifindex 0 which isn't valid, resulting in getting SKB
packets dropped. Thus, the reported performance numbers are wrong in
commit 24251c264798 ("samples/bpf: add option for native and skb mode
for redirect apps") for the 'xdp_redirect_map -S' case.Before commit 109980b894e9 ("bpf: don't select potentially stale
ri->map from buggy xdp progs") it could crash the kernel. Like this
commit also check that the map_owner owner is correct before
dereferencing the map pointer. But make sure that this API misusage
can be caught by a tracepoint. Thus, allowing userspace via
tracepoints to detect misbehaving bpf_progs.Fixes: 6103aa96ec07 ("net: implement XDP_REDIRECT for xdp generic")

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.Examples of this would be:
- systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
- PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
- glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
- OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.This has three major drawbacks:
1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
zeroed memory. This is easily visible by looking at the overall
memory consumption of the system or by looking at /proc/[pid]/smaps:7f62e72b3000-7f63272b3000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

KernelPageSize: 4 kB

Locked: 0 kB2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it. Here
are the average latencies of dax_load_hole() as measured by ftrace on
a random test box:Old method, using zeroed page cache pages: 3.4 us
New method, using the common 4k zero page: 0.8 usThis was the average latency over 1 GiB of sequential reads done by
this simple fio script:[global]
size=1G
filename=/root/dax/data
fallocate=none
[io]
rw=read
ioengine=mmap3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
complex.Solve these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD code and using a
common 4k zero page instead. As with the PMD code we will now insert a
DAX exceptional entry into the radix tree instead of a struct page
pointer which allows us to remove all the special casing in the DAX
code.Note that we do still pretty aggressively check for regular pages in the
DAX radix tree, especially where we take action based on the bits set in
the page. If we ever find a regular page in our radix tree now that
most likely means that someone besides DAX is inserting pages (which has
happened lots of times in the past), and we want to find that out early
and fail loudly.This solution also removes the extra memory consumption. Here is that
same /proc/[pid]/smaps after 1GiB of reading from a hole with the new
code:7f2054a74000-7f2094a74000 rw-s 00000000 103:00 12 /root/dax/data

Another major change is that we remove dax_pfn_mkwrite() from our fault
flow, and instead rely on the page fault itself to make the PTE dirty
and writeable. The following description from the patch adding the
vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() call explains this a little more:"To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our
PTE fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry
can be marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather
than waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() =>
finish_mkwrite_fault() call.Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we
can distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storageThis distinction is made by via vm_normal_page(). vm_normal_page()
returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does
for DAX ptes. Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case
we will simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches
our DAX PMD sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.
We will instead use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection
faults.This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of

This extends bridge fdb table tracepoints to also cover
learned fdb entries in the br_fdb_update path. Note that
unlike other tracepoints I have moved this to when the fdb
is modified because this is in the datapath and can generate
a lot of noise in the trace output. br_fdb_update is also called
from added_by_user context in the NTF_USE case which is already
traced ..hence the !added_by_user check.Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu

Creating as specific xdp_redirect_map variant of the xdp tracepoints
allow users to write simpler/faster BPF progs that get attached to
these tracepoints.Goal is to still keep the tracepoints in xdp_redirect and xdp_redirect_map
similar enough, that a tool can read the top part of the TP_STRUCT and
produce similar monitor statistics.Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer
