lib/vsprintf: implement bitmap printing through '%*pb[l]'
bitmap and its derivatives such as cpumask and nodemask currently only
provide formatting functions which put the output string into the
provided buffer; however, how long this buffer should be isn't defined
anywhere and given that some of these bitmaps can be too large to be
formatted into an on-stack buffer it users sometimes are unnecessarily
forced to come up with creative solutions and compromises for the
buffer just to printk these bitmaps.
There have been a couple different attempts at making this easier.
1. Way back, PeterZ tried printk '%pb' extension with the precision
for bit width - '%.*pb'. This was intuitive and made sense but
unfortunately triggered a compile warning about using precision
for a pointer.
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/
1336577562.2527.58.camel@twins
2. I implemented bitmap_pr_cont[_list]() and its wrappers for cpumask
and nodemask. This works but PeterZ pointed out that pr_cont's
tendency to produce broken lines when multiple CPUs are printing is
bothering considering the usages.
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/
1418226774-30215-3-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org
So, this patch is another attempt at teaching printk and friends how
to print bitmaps. It's almost identical to what PeterZ tried with
precision but it uses the field width for the number of bits instead
of precision. The format used is '%*pb[l]', with the optional
trailing 'l' specifying list format instead of hex masks.
This is a valid format string and doesn't trigger compiler warnings;
however, it does make it impossible to specify output field width when
printing bitmaps. I think this is an acceptable trade-off given how
much easier it makes printing bitmaps and that we don't have any
in-kernel user which is using the field width specification. If any
future user wants to use field width with a bitmap, it'd have to
format the bitmap into a string buffer and then print that buffer with
width spec, which isn't different from how it should be done now.
This patch implements bitmap[_list]_string() which are called from the
vsprintf pointer() formatting function. The implementation is mostly
identical to bitmap_scn[list]printf() except that the output is
performed in the vsprintf way. These functions handle formatting into
too small buffers and sprintf() family of functions report the correct
overrun output length.
bitmap_scn[list]printf() are now thin wrappers around scnprintf().

cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and parsing functions
bitmap implements two variants of scnprintf functions to format a bitmap
into a string and cpumask and nodemask wrap them to provide equivalent
interfaces. The scnprintf family of functions require a string buffer as
an output target which complicates code paths which just want to print out
the mask through printk for informational or debug purposes as they have
to worry about how large the buffer should be and whether it's too large
to allocate on stack.
Neither cpumask or nodemask provides a guildeline on how large the target
buffer should be forcing users come up with their own solutions - some
allocate an arbitrarily sized buffer which is small enough to allocate on
stack but may be too short in corner cases, other come up with a custom
upper limit calculation considering the output format, some allocate the
buffer dynamically while one resorted to using lock to synchronize access
to a static buffer.
This is an artificial problem which is being solved repeatedly for no
benefit. In a lot of cases, the output area already exists and can be
targeted directly making the intermediate buffer unnecessary. This
patchset teaches printf family of functions how to format bitmaps and
replace the dedicated formatting functions with it.
Pointer formatting is extended to cover bitmap formatting. It uses the
field width for the number of bits instead of precision. The format used
is '%*pb[l]', with the optional trailing 'l' specifying list format
instead of hex masks. For more details, please see 0002.
This patch (of 31):
Currently, the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h use
nr_cpumask_bits like other cpumask functions; however, nr_cpumask_bits
is either NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids depending on CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
This leads to inconsistent behaviors.

# cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed:
Cpus_allowed: f
Note that /proc/self/status is always using nr_cpu_ids regardless of
config. This is because seq cpumask formattings functions always use
nr_cpu_ids.
Given that the same output fields may switch between the two forms,
converging on nr_cpu_ids always isn't too likely to surprise userland.
This patch updates the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h
to always use nr_cpu_ids. There's no point in dealing with CPUs which
aren't even possible on the machine.

mm/util: add kstrdup_const
kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither
destination will be ever modified. In such case we can just reuse the
source instead of duplicating it. The problem is that we must be sure
that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough.
I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in
kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is
read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time.
This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup -
kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata
otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. To verify if the source is in
.rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels
__start_rodata, __end_rodata. I guess it should work with all
architectures.
The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for
cases where situtation described above happens frequently.
I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it
saves 3272 string allocations. Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64
bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about
100KB or 200KB of memory.
Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs:
By caller:
2260 __kernfs_new_node
631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8
318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8
51 kmem_cache_create
12 alloc_vfsmnt
By string (with count >= 5):
883 power
876 subsystem
135 parameters
132 device
61 iommu_group
...
This patch (of 5):
Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant
char array. The function checks if input string is in persistent and
read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it
fallbacks to kstrdup.
kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory
deallocation of the string.

lib: crc32: constify crc32 lookup table
Commit
8f243af42ade ("sections: fix const sections for crc32 table")
removed the compile-time generated crc32 tables from the RO sections,
because it conflicts with the definition of __cacheline_aligned which
puts all such aligned data into .data..cacheline_aligned section
optimized for wasting less space, and can cause alignment issues when
used in combination with const with some gcc versions like 4.7.0 due to
a gcc bug [1].
Given that most gcc versions should have the fix by now, we can just use
____cacheline_aligned, which only aligns the data but doesn't move it
into specific sections as opposed to __cacheline_aligned. In case of
gcc versions having the mentioned bug, the alignment attribute will have
no effect, but the data will still be made RO.
After patch tables are in RO:

lib: bitmap: remove redundant code from __bitmap_shift_left
The first of these conditionals is completely redundant: If k == lim-1, we

wouldn't matter if upper had some high bits set. But the second
conditional is in fact also redundant, since it only serves to clear out

If off >= lim (which requires shift >= nbits), k is initialized with a

will never run and dst will be zeroed as expected. Inside the loop, k is
guaranteed to be non-negative, so the fact that it is promoted to unsigned

lib: bitmap: change bitmap_shift_right to take unsigned parameters
I've previously changed the nbits parameter of most bitmap_* functions to
unsigned; now it is bitmap_shift_{left,right}'s turn. This alone saves
some .text, but while at it I found that there were a few other things one
could do. The end result of these seven patches is
$ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/bitmap.o.{old,new}
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-328 (-328)
function old new delta
__bitmap_shift_right 384 226 -158
__bitmap_shift_left 306 136 -170
and less importantly also a smaller stack footprint
$ stack-o-meter.pl master bitmap
file function old new delta
lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_right 24 8 -16
lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_left 24 0 -24
For each pair of 0 <= shift <= nbits <= 256 I've tested the end result
with a few randomly filled src buffers (including garbage beyond nbits),
in each case verifying that the shift {left,right}-most bits of dst are
zero and the remaining nbits-shift bits correspond to src, so I'm fairly
confident I didn't screw up. That hasn't stopped me from being wrong
before, though.
This patch (of 7):
gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.
The expressions involving "lim - 1" are still ok, since if lim is 0 the
loop is never executed.
Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

"Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common:
Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT

architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some
scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This
also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
auto-tune this in the future.
ARM/ARM64:
The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
tracking
s390:
Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature
exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
MIPS:
Bugfixes.
x86:
Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
usual round of emulation fixes.
There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline

We don't need module.h and all of the stuff it carries with it, so replace

kernel.h requires the user to ensure bug.h is also included (for
BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO, used by __must_be_array). We used to get that through
some maze of nested includes, but just include it explicitly.
linux/string.h is then only included implicitly through

powerpc: add running_clock for powerpc to prevent spurious softlockup warnings
On POWER8 virtualised kernels the VTB register can be read to have a view
of time that only increases while the guest is running. This will prevent
guests from seeing time jump if a guest is paused for significant amounts
of time.
On POWER7 and below virtualised kernels stolen time is subtracted from
local_clock as a best effort approximation. This will not eliminate
spurious warnings in the case of a suspended guest but may reduce the
occurance in the case of softlockups due to host over commit.
Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore
sane values when not executing, the approxmation is fine as host kernels
won't observe any stolen time.

When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
detector.
Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.
Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction

can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like
anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output:
7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs
areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't.
The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The
anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack
uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the
page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think
this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands.
This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of
pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is
specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page
backed VMAs.

Total 37022 36326 36288
(37022 - 36326) / 37022 = 1.87%
Also by analysing objects alocated in every class we know why we got so
low fragmentation: Most of the allocated objects is in <class 254>. And
there is only 1 page in class 254 zspage. So, No fragmentation will be
introduced by allocating objs in class 254.
And in future, we can collect other zsmalloc statistics as we need and
analyse them.

zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request
Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used
zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram
meta freeing.
However, the init_lock is really troublesome. We can't do call
zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because
zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as
read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock.
So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but
it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat
between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working
zsmalloc compaction. :(
Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path. This
patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta
lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context.
It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource
destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the
resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again.
As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.

zram: rework reset and destroy path
We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to
zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran. Potentially, we can
race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths.
The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from
zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we
first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform
destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device(). This is done to
remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device
reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e. disksize).
Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have
->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later
zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future.
So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path.
1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init()
2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into
destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to
destroy as its argument.
3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder
operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and
queue cleanup. So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device().
4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock.

zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition
Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
avoid ->bd_holders race condition:
CPU0 CPU1
umount /* zram->init_done is true */
reset_store()
bdev->bd_holders == 0 mount
... zram_make_request()
zram_reset_device()
However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.
Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().
zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset. There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:
-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true
So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store(). This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.

mm: fix negative nr_isolated counts
The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when
CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that
nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever
more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated
pages, yet still appear to be zero.
I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself;
but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get
too_many_isolated() working again.
The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case:
putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot
to call acct_isolated() to increment them.
It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills
when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.
