init: allow CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK=n to disable defaults if init= fails
If a user puts init=/whatever on the command line and /whatever can't be
run, then the kernel will try a few default options before giving up. If
init=/whatever came from a bootloader prompt, then this is unexpected but
probably harmless. On the other hand, if it comes from a script (e.g. a
tool like virtme or perhaps a future kselftest script), then the fallbacks
are likely to exist, but they'll do the wrong thing. For example, they
might unexpectedly invoke systemd.
This adds a config option CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK. If unset, then a failure
to run the specified init= process be fatal.
The tentative plan is to remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK for 3.20.

vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper and it is
supposed to return the same value for the same vma. But vma_dump_size()
could return different values for same vma.
The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal. If a vma is
used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between
writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a
dump file which is internally consistent.
To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size
into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in
vma_filsz. The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but
it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line.

binfmt_misc: add comments & debug logs
When trying to develop a custom format handler, the errors returned all
effectively get bucketed as EINVAL with no kernel messages. The other
errors (ENOMEM/EFAULT) are internal/obvious and basic. Thus any time a
bad handler is rejected, the developer has to walk the dense code and
try to guess where it went wrong. Needing to dive into kernel code is
itself a fairly high barrier for a lot of people.
To improve this situation, let's deploy extensive pr_debug markers at
logical parse points, and add comments to the dense parsing logic. It
let's you see exactly where the parsing aborts, the string the kernel
received (useful when dealing with shell code), how it translated the
buffers to binary data, and how it will apply the mask at runtime.
Some example output:
$ echo ':qemu-foo:M::\x7fELF\xAD\xAD\x01\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\x00:/usr/bin/qemu-foo:POC' > register

printk: drop logbuf_cpu volatile qualifier
Pranith Kumar posted a patch in which removed the "volatile"
qualifier for the "logbuf_cpu" variable in vprintk_emit().
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/13/894
In his patch, he used ACCESS_ONCE() for all references to
that symbol to provide whatever protection was intended.
There was some discussion that followed, and in the end Steven Rostedt
concluded that not only was "volatile" not needed, neither was it
required to use ACCESS_ONCE(). I offered an elaborate description that
concluded Steven was right, and Pranith asked me to submit an
alternative patch. And this is it.
The basic reason "volatile" is not needed is that "logbuf_cpu" has
static storage duration, and vprintk_emit() is an exported
interface. This means that the value of logbuf_cpu must be read
from memory the first time it is used in a particular call of
vprintk_emit(). The variable's value is read only once in that
function, when it's read it'll be the copy from memory (or cache).
In addition, the value of "logbuf_cpu" is only ever written under
protection of a spinlock. So the value that is read is the "real"
value (and not an out-of-date cached one). If its value is not
UINT_MAX, it is the current CPU's processor id, and it will have
been last written by the running CPU.

kernel: add panic_on_warn
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.
A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.
This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the
location of the warning.
An example of the panic_on_warn output:
The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

include/linux/file.h: remove get_unused_fd() macro
Macro get_unused_fd() is used to allocate a file descriptor with default
flags. Those default flags (0) don't enable close-on-exec.
This can be seen as an unsafe default: in most case close-on-exec should
be enabled to not leak file descriptor across exec().
It would be better to have a "safer" default set of flags, eg. O_CLOEXEC
must be used to enable close-on-exec.
Instead this patch removes get_unused_fd() so that out of tree modules
won't be affect by a runtime behavor change which might introduce other
kind of bugs: it's better to catch the change at build time, making it
easier to fix.
Removing the macro will also promote use of get_unused_fd_flags() (or
anon_inode_getfd()) with flags provided by userspace. Or, if flags cannot
be given by userspace, with flags set to O_CLOEXEC by default.

We need to change t->parent if and only if t is not traced.

3. Change this code to use for_each_thread() instead of deprecated

exit: reparent: use ->ptrace_entry rather than ->sibling for EXIT_DEAD tasks
reparent_leader() reuses ->sibling as a list node to add an EXIT_DEAD task
into dead_children list we are going to release. This obviously removes
the dead task from its real_parent->children list and this is even good;
the parent can do nothing with the EXIT_DEAD reparented zombie, it only
makes do_wait() slower.
But, this also means that it can not be reparented once again, so if its
new parent dies too nobody will update ->parent/real_parent, they can
point to the freed memory even before release_task() we are going to call,
this breaks the code which relies on pid_alive() to access
->real_parent/parent.
Fortunately this is mostly theoretical, this can only happen if init or
PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER process ignores SIGCHLD and the new parent
sub-thread exits right after we drop tasklist_lock.
Change this code to use ->ptrace_entry instead, we know that the child is
not traced so nobody can ever use this member. This also allows to unify
this logic with exit_ptrace(), see the next changes.
Note: we really need to change release_task() to nullify real_parent/
parent/group_leader pointers, but we need to change the current users
first somehow. And it would be better to reap this zombie immediately but
release_task_locked() we need is complicated by proc_flush_task().

When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the

This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree.
Here are some numbers:

mm: embed the memcg pointer directly into struct page
Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers. To allow users to
disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were
allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and
struct page.
There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that
indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged. The
complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is
no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory. With
CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding
after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page,
and then this patch actually saves space. Remaining users that care can
still compile their kernels without CONFIG_MEMCG.

Since commit
d7365e783edb ("mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback

variables directly rather than via pointers which might trigger C
undefined behavior as those variables are initialized only in the slow
path of mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat.
Although mem_cgroup_end_page_stat handles parameters correctly and
touches them only when they hold a sensible value it is caller which
loads a potentially uninitialized value which then might allow compiler
to do crazy things.

memcg: remove mem_cgroup_reclaimable check from soft reclaim
mem_cgroup_reclaimable() checks whether a cgroup has reclaimable pages on
*any* NUMA node. However, the only place where it's called is
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim(), which tries to reclaim memory from a *specific*
zone. So the way it is used is incorrect - it will return true even if
the cgroup doesn't have pages on the zone we're scanning.
I think we can get rid of this check completely, because
mem_cgroup_shrink_node_zone(), which is called by
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim() if mem_cgroup_reclaimable() returns true, is
equivalent to shrink_lruvec(), which exits almost immediately if the
lruvec passed to it is empty. So there's no need to optimize anything
here. Besides, we don't have such a check in the general scan path
(shrink_zone) either.

mm, compaction: more focused lru and pcplists draining
The goal of memory compaction is to create high-order freepages through
page migration. Page migration however puts pages on the per-cpu lru_add
cache, which is later flushed to per-cpu pcplists, and only after pcplists
are drained the pages can actually merge. This can happen due to the
per-cpu caches becoming full through further freeing, or explicitly.
During direct compaction, it is useful to do the draining explicitly so
that pages merge as soon as possible and compaction can detect success
immediately and keep the latency impact at minimum. However the current
implementation is far from ideal. Draining is done only in
__alloc_pages_direct_compact(), after all zones were already compacted,
and the decisions to continue or stop compaction in individual zones was
done without the last batch of migrations being merged. It is also
missing the draining of lru_add cache before the pcplists.
This patch moves the draining for direct compaction into compact_zone().
It adds the missing lru_cache draining and uses the newly introduced
single zone pcplists draining to reduce overhead and avoid impact on
unrelated zones. Draining is only performed when it can actually lead to
merging of a page of desired order (passed by cc->order). This means it
is only done when migration occurred in the previously scanned cc->order
aligned block(s) and the migration scanner is now pointing to the next
cc->order aligned block.
The patch has been tested with stress-highalloc benchmark from mmtests.
Although overal allocation success rates of the benchmark were not
affected, the number of detected compaction successes has doubled. This
suggests that allocations were previously successful due to implicit
merging caused by background activity, making a later allocation attempt
succeed immediately, but not attributing the success to compaction. Since
stress-highalloc always tries to allocate almost the whole memory, it
cannot show the improvement in its reported success rate metric. However
after this patch, compaction should detect success and terminate earlier,
reducing the direct compaction latencies in a real scenario.

mm, compaction: always update cached scanner positions
Compaction caches the migration and free scanner positions between
compaction invocations, so that the whole zone gets eventually scanned and
there is no bias towards the initial scanner positions at the
beginning/end of the zone.
The cached positions are continuously updated as scanners progress and the
updating stops as soon as a page is successfully isolated. The reasoning
behind this is that a pageblock where isolation succeeded is likely to
succeed again in near future and it should be worth revisiting it.
However, the downside is that potentially many pages are rescanned without
successful isolation. At worst, there might be a page where isolation
from LRU succeeds but migration fails (potentially always). So upon
encountering this page, cached position would always stop being updated
for no good reason. It might have been useful to let such page be
rescanned with sync compaction after async one failed, but this is now
handled by caching scanner position for async and sync mode separately
since commit
35979ef33931 ("mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn
cache for async compaction").
After this patch, cached positions are updated unconditionally. In
stress-highalloc benchmark, this has decreased the numbers of scanned
pages by few percent, without affecting allocation success rates.
To prevent free scanner from leaving free pages behind after they are
returned due to page migration failure, the cached scanner pfn is changed
to point to the pageblock of the returned free page with the highest pfn,
before leaving compact_zone().

Deferred compaction is employed to avoid compacting zone where sync direct
compaction has recently failed. As such, it makes sense to only defer
when a full zone was scanned, which is when compact_zone returns with
COMPACT_COMPLETE. It's less useful to defer when compact_zone returns
with apparent success (COMPACT_PARTIAL), followed by a watermark check
failure, which can happen due to parallel allocation activity. It also
does not make much sense to defer compaction which was completely skipped
(COMPACT_SKIP) for being unsuitable in the first place.
This patch therefore makes deferred compaction trigger only when
COMPACT_COMPLETE is returned from compact_zone(). Results of

mm, compaction: simplify deferred compaction
Since commit
53853e2d2bfb ("mm, compaction: defer each zone individually
instead of preferred zone"), compaction is deferred for each zone where
sync direct compaction fails, and reset where it succeeds. However, it
was observed that for DMA zone compaction often appeared to succeed
while subsequent allocation attempt would not, due to different outcome
of watermark check.
In order to properly defer compaction in this zone, the candidate zone
has to be passed back to __alloc_pages_direct_compact() and compaction
deferred in the zone after the allocation attempt fails.
The large source of mismatch between watermark check in compaction and
allocation was the lack of alloc_flags and classzone_idx values in
compaction, which has been fixed in the previous patch. So with this
problem fixed, we can simplify the code by removing the candidate_zone
parameter and deferring in __alloc_pages_direct_compact().
After this patch, the compaction activity during stress-highalloc
benchmark is still somewhat increased, but it's negligible compared to the
increase that occurred without the better watermark checking. This
suggests that it is still possible to apparently succeed in compaction but
fail to allocate, possibly due to parallel allocation activity.

mm, compaction: pass classzone_idx and alloc_flags to watermark checking
Compaction relies on zone watermark checks for decisions such as if it's
worth to start compacting in compaction_suitable() or whether compaction
should stop in compact_finished(). The watermark checks take
classzone_idx and alloc_flags parameters, which are related to the memory
allocation request. But from the context of compaction they are currently
passed as 0, including the direct compaction which is invoked to satisfy
the allocation request, and could therefore know the proper values.
The lack of proper values can lead to mismatch between decisions taken
during compaction and decisions related to the allocation request. Lack
of proper classzone_idx value means that lowmem_reserve is not taken into
account. This has manifested (during recent changes to deferred
compaction) when DMA zone was used as fallback for preferred Normal zone.
compaction_suitable() without proper classzone_idx would think that the
watermarks are already satisfied, but watermark check in
get_page_from_freelist() would fail. Because of this problem, deferring
compaction has extra complexity that can be removed in the following
patch.
The issue (not confirmed in practice) with missing alloc_flags is opposite
in nature. For allocations that include ALLOC_HIGH, ALLOC_HIGHER or
ALLOC_CMA in alloc_flags (the last includes all MOVABLE allocations on
CMA-enabled systems) the watermark checking in compaction with 0 passed
will be stricter than in get_page_from_freelist(). In these cases
compaction might be running for a longer time than is really needed.
Another issue compaction_suitable() is that the check for "does the zone
need compaction at all?" comes only after the check "does the zone have
enough free free pages to succeed compaction". The latter considers extra
pages for migration and can therefore in some situations fail and return
COMPACT_SKIPPED, although the high-order allocation would succeed and we
should return COMPACT_PARTIAL.
This patch fixes these problems by adding alloc_flags and classzone_idx to
struct compact_control and related functions involved in direct compaction
and watermark checking. Where possible, all other callers of
compaction_suitable() pass proper values where those are known. This is
currently limited to classzone_idx, which is sometimes known in kswapd
context. However, the direct reclaim callers should_continue_reclaim()
and compaction_ready() do not currently know the proper values, so the
coordination between reclaim and compaction may still not be as accurate
as it could. This can be fixed later, if it's shown to be an issue.
Additionaly the checks in compact_suitable() are reordered to address the
second issue described above.
The effect of this patch should be slightly better high-order allocation
success rates and/or less compaction overhead, depending on the type of
allocations and presence of CMA. It allows simplifying deferred
compaction code in a followup patch.
When testing with stress-highalloc, there was some slight improvement
(which might be just due to variance) in success rates of non-THP-like
allocations.
