2014-06-18mm: use paravirt friendly ops for NUMA hinting ptesMel Gorman
commit 29c7787075c92ca8af353acd5301481e6f37082f upstream. 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 him Xen 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 Xen.

2014-06-18word-at-a-time: avoid undefined behaviour in zero_bytemask macroWill Deacon
commit ec6931b281797b69e6cf109f9cc94d5a2bf994e0 upstream. The asm-generic, big-endian version of zero_bytemask creates a mask of bytes preceding the first zero-byte by left shifting ~0ul based on the position of the first zero byte. Unfortunately, if the first (top) byte is zero, the output of prep_zero_mask has only the top bit set, resulting in undefined C behaviour as we shift left by an amount equal to the width of the type. As it happens, GCC doesn't manage to spot this through the call to fls(), but the issue remains if architectures choose to implement their shift instructions differently. An example would be arch/arm/ (AArch32), where LSL Rd, Rn, #32 results in Rd == 0x0, whilst on arch/arm64 (AArch64) LSL Xd, Xn, #64 results in Xd == Xn. Rather than check explicitly for the problematic shift, this patch adds an extra shift by 1, replacing fls with __fls. Since zero_bytemask is never called with a zero argument (has_zero() is used to check the data first), we don't need to worry about calling __fls(0), which is undefined.

2014-02-17mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bitAneesh Kumar K.V
Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of the PTE modification when necessary). ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs. Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks. The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with linux page table. We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal. We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid. This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption. Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

It's identical to the request I did 2 or 3 weeks back. This fixes crashes in mremap with THP on powerpc. The fix however requires a small change in the generic code. It moves a condition into a helper we can override from the arch which is harmless, but it *also* slightly changes the order of the set_pmd and the withdraw & deposit, which should be fine according to Kirill (who wrote that code) but I agree -rc8 is a bit late...

2014-01-12arch: Introduce smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release()Peter Zijlstra
A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(), even though there is no need to order prior stores against later loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way to make use of them. This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release() primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional expense on most architectures. In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code might be so replaced. [Changelog by PaulMck] Reviewed-by: "Paul E.

2013-12-20mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) supportKirill A. Shutemov
Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being a transparent huge-table entry. The code - introduced in commit 1998cc048901 ("mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it turns out that that function doesn't work correctly. pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal development systems would never actually trigger this. Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation, and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly.

2013-12-18mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_rangeRik van Riel
There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

2013-12-17lib: introduce arch optimized hash libraryFrancesco Fusco
We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to jhash() for the generic case. On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor. Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well in follow-up work.

2013-12-11sched: Remove PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED from generic codePeter Zijlstra
While hunting a preemption issue with Alexander, Ben noticed that the currently generic PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED stuff is horribly broken for load-store architectures. We currently rely on the IPI to fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED into PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED, but when this IPI lands while we already have a load for the preempt-count but before the store, the store will erase the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED change. The current preempt-count only works on load-store archs because interrupts are assumed to be completely balanced wrt their preempt_count fiddling; the previous preempt_count load will match the preempt_count state after the interrupt and therefore nothing gets lost. This patch removes the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED usage from generic code and pushes it into x86 arch code; the generic code goes back to relying on TIF_NEED_RESCHED. Boot tested on x86_64 and compile tested on ppc64.

This patch exports the gpiod_* family of API functions, a safer alternative to the legacy GPIO interface. Differences between the gpiod and legacy gpio APIs are: - gpio works with integers, whereas gpiod operates on opaque handlers which cannot be forged or used before proper acquisition - gpiod get/set functions are aware of the active low state of a GPIO - gpio consumers should now include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> to access the new interface, whereas chips drivers will use <linux/gpio/driver.h> The legacy gpio API is now built as inline functions on top of gpiod.

2013-10-16gpio: add API to be strict about GPIO IRQ usageLinus Walleij
It is currently often possible in many GPIO drivers to request a GPIO line to be used as IRQ after calling gpio_to_irq() and, as the gpiolib is not aware of this, set the same line to output and start driving it, with undesired side effects. As it is a bogus usage scenario to request a line flagged as output to used as IRQ, we introduce APIs to let gpiolib track the use of a line as IRQ, and also set this flag from the userspace ABI. The API is symmetric so that lines can also be flagged from .irq_enable() and unflagged from IRQ by .irq_disable(). The debugfs file is altered so that we see if a line is reserved for IRQ.

The include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h stubs that just vector huge_pte_*() calls to the pte_*() implementations won't work in certain situations. x86 and sparc, for example, return "unsigned long" from the bit checks, and just go "return pte_val(pte) & PTE_BIT_FOO;" But since huge_pte_*() returns 'int', if any high bits on 64-bit are relevant, they get chopped off. The net effect is that we can loop forever trying to COW a huge page, because the huge_pte_write() check signals false all the time.
