A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.

loading!! ]blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
ftrace_init_module()[ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
ftrace_bug() is called]When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1395637826-3312-1-git-send-email-indou.takao@jp.fujitsu.com

In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes
wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375
session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL);The error message:
"Not enough memory for reading per file header"is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very
helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by
"Perf session creation failed"I believe this issue has been brought to lkml:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458
although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue.Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in
tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write.Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it.
This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to
the caller.Reported-by: Will Deacon

Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains
max/min/average/etc times of handling this event.
The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows
that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example:# perf kvm stat report
Analyze events for all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
[..]
0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% )
0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% )
0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 0us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% )
0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 0us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% )
[..]This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and
stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every
event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes
stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work:# perf kvm stat report

Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2]. I believe both of them
have the same root cause. Let's look to them one by one.The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!". It's
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page(). From my
testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here.I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and
page_check_address_pmd(). page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is
under zap:CPU0 CPU1
zap_huge_pmd()
pmdp_get_and_clear()
__split_huge_page()
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
__split_huge_page_splitting()
page_check_address_pmd()
mm_find_pmd()
/*
* We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no
* serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD,
* it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page().
*/
pmd_present(pmd) == 0BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!!
page_remove_rmap(page)
atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!".
It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd().This happens in similar way:
CPU0 CPU1
zap_huge_pmd()
pmdp_get_and_clear()
page_remove_rmap(page)
atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)
__split_huge_page()
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
__split_huge_page_splitting()
page_check_address_pmd()
mm_find_pmd()
pmd_present(pmd) == 0 /* The same comment as above */
/*
* No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in
* zap_huge_pmd().
*/
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page))/*
* We split the compound page here into small pages without
* serialization against zap_huge_pmd()
*/
__split_huge_page_refcount()
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!!So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd()
without taking page table lock.The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac42. Sorry for
that. :(Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the
check under page table lock.Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires
if sync != 0.I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and
don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took

David Vrabel identified a regression when using automatic NUMA balancing
under Xen whereby page table entries were getting corrupted due to the
use of native PTE operations. Quoting himXen PV guest page tables require that their entries use machine
addresses if the preset bit (_PAGE_PRESENT) is set, and (for
successful migration) non-present PTEs must use pseudo-physical
addresses. This is because on migration MFNs in present PTEs are
translated to PFNs (canonicalised) so they may be translated back
to the new MFN in the destination domain (uncanonicalised).pte_mknonnuma(), pmd_mknonnuma(), pte_mknuma() and pmd_mknuma()
set and clear the _PAGE_PRESENT bit using pte_set_flags(),
pte_clear_flags(), etc.In a Xen PV guest, these functions must translate MFNs to PFNs
when clearing _PAGE_PRESENT and translate PFNs to MFNs when setting
_PAGE_PRESENT.His suggested fix converted p[te|md]_[set|clear]_flags to using
paravirt-friendly ops but this is overkill. He suggested an alternative
of using p[te|md]_modify in the NUMA page table operations but this is
does more work than necessary and would require looking up a VMA for
protections.This patch modifies the NUMA page table operations to use paravirt
friendly operations to set/clear the flags of interest. Unfortunately
this will take a performance hit when updating the PTEs on
CONFIG_PARAVIRT but I do not see a way around it that does not break

In document numa_memory_policy.txt, the following examples for flag
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES are incorrect.For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-6. If the cpuset's mems
then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
0,3,5.According to the comment of the patch adding flag MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES,
the nodemasks the user specifies should be considered relative to the
current task's mems_allowed.(https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/428)
And according to numa_memory_policy.txt, if the user's nodemask includes
nodes that are outside the range of the new set of allowed nodes, then
the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and, if not
already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.So in the example, if the user specifies 2-5, for a task whose
mems_allowed is 3-7, the nodemasks should be remapped the third, fourth,
fifth, sixth node in mems_allowed. like the following:mems_allowed: 3 4 5 6 7
relative index: 0 1 2 3 4
5So the nodemasks should be remapped to 3,5-7, but not 3,5-6.
And for a task whose mems_allowed is 0,2-3,5, the nodemasks should be
remapped to 0,2-3,5, but not 0,3,5.mems_allowed: 0 2 3 5
relative index: 0 1 2 3

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interruptWhat happens while auth_enable=0 in that case is, that
ep->auth_hmacs is initialized to NULL in sctp_auth_init_hmacs()
when endpoint is being created.After that point, if an admin switches over to auth_enable=1,
the machine can crash due to NULL pointer dereference during
reception of an INIT chunk. When we enter sctp_process_init()
via sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() in order to respond to an INIT chunk,
the INIT verification succeeds and while we walk and process
all INIT params via sctp_process_param() we find that
net->sctp.auth_enable is set, therefore do not fall through,
but invoke sctp_auth_asoc_set_default_hmac() instead, and thus,
dereference what we have set to NULL during endpoint
initialization phase.The fix is to make auth_enable immutable by caching its value
during endpoint initialization, so that its original value is
being carried along until destruction. The bug seems to originate
from the very first days.Fix in joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

====================
pull request: wireless 2014-04-17Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.15 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"We have a fix from Chun-Yeow to not look at management frame bitrates
that are typically really low, two fixes from Felix for AP_VLAN
interfaces, a fix from Ido to disable SMPS settings when a monitor
interface is enabled, a radar detection fix from Michał and a fix from
myself for a very old remain-on-channel bug."For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I have new device IDs and a new firmware API. These are the trivial
ones. The less trivial ones are Johannes's fix that delays the
enablement of an interrupt coalescing hardware until after association
- this fixes a few connection problems seen in the field. Eyal has a
bunch of rate control fixes. I decided to add these for 3.15 because
they fix some disconnection and packet loss scenarios which were
reported by the field. I also have a fix for a memory leak that
happens only with a very new NIC."Along with those...
Amitkumar Karwar fixes a couple of problems relating to driver/firmware
interactions in mwifiex.Christian Engelmayer avoids a couple of potential memory leaks in
the new rsi driver.Eliad Peller provides a wl18xx mailbox alignment fix for problems
when using new firmware.Frederic Danis adds a couple of missing debugging strings to the
cw1200 driver.Geert Uytterhoeven adds a variable initialization inside of the
rsi driver.Luciano Coelho patches the wlcore code to ignore dummy packet events
in PLT mode in order to work around a firmware bug.

The reason is that all of the addr_lock_key for vlan dev have the same class,
so if we change the status for vlan dev, the vlan dev and its real dev will
hold the same class of addr_lock_key together, so the warning happened.we should distinguish the lock depth for vlan dev and its real dev.
v1->v2: Convert the vlan_netdev_addr_lock_key to an array of eight elements, which
could support to add 8 vlan id on a same vlan dev, I think it is enough for current
scene, because a netdev's name is limited to IFNAMSIZ which could not hold 8 vlan id,
and the vlan dev would not meet the same class key with its real dev.The new function vlan_dev_get_lockdep_subkey() will return the subkey and make the vlan
dev could get a suitable class key.v2->v3: According David's suggestion, I use the subclass to distinguish the lock key for vlan dev
and its real dev, but it make no sense, because the difference for subclass in the
lock_class_key doesn't mean that the difference class for lock_key, so I use lock_depth
to distinguish the different depth for every vlan dev, the same depth of the vlan dev
could have the same lock_class_key, I import the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH from the include/linux/sched.h,
I think it is enough here, the lockdep should never exceed that value.v3->v4: Add a huge array of locking keys will waste static kernel memory and is not a appropriate method,
we could use _nested() variants to fix the problem, calculate the depth for every vlan dev,
and use the depth as the subclass for addr_lock_key.Signed-off-by: Ding Tianhong
