git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights:
- Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9
when using the hash table MMU.
- Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts
as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement
local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based
implementation.
- A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor
Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices.
- Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe
hotpluggable memory and devices.
- Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit
VDSO.
- Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI
erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch.
As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small
fixes and cleanups as always.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This seems to have been a comparatively quieter merge window, I assume
due to holidays etc. The "biggest" change is AMD header cleanups, which
merge/remove a bunch of them. The AMD gpu scheduler is now being made generic

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux
Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.
This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
API will allow drivers to express that requirement.
Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
couple minor non-critical fixes.
Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.
Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
hardware.
Summary:
Core:
- Clk rate protection
- Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
- Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates
New Drivers:
- Spreadtrum SC9860
- HiSilicon hi3660 stub
- Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
- Amlogic Meson-AXG
- ASPEED BMC
Removed Drivers:
- TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
- asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)
Updates:
- Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
- Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
- Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
- Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
- Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
- Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
- Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
- Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
- Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
- Mediatek clk driver compile test support
- AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
- PLL issues fixed on si5351
- Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
- DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
- Allwinner fixed post-divider support

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"There's not much changes for the tracing system this release. Mostly
small clean ups and fixes.
The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by
trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and
the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to
keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by
you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced.
If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when
the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The
problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to
oops.
The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the
formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this
guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)"

Merge KASAN word-at-a-time fixups from Andrey Ryabinin.
The word-at-a-time optimizations have caused headaches for KASAN, since
the whole point is that we access byte streams in bigger chunks, and
KASAN can be unhappy about the potential extra access at the end of the
string.
We used to have a horrible hack in dcache, and then people got
complaints from the strscpy() case. This fixes it all up properly, by
adding an explicit helper for the "access byte stream one word at a
time" case.
* emailed patches from Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>:
fs: dcache: Revert "manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports"
fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp()
lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()

kasan's reports"
This reverts commit df4c0e36f1b1782b0611a77c52cc240e5c4752dd.
It's no longer needed since dentry_string_cmp() now uses
read_word_at_a_time() to avoid kasan's reports.

dentry_string_cmp() performs the word-at-a-time reads from 'cs' and may
read slightly more than it was requested in kmallac(). Normally this
would make KASAN to report out-of-bounds access, but this was
workarounded by commit df4c0e36f1b1 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison
dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports").
This workaround is not perfect, since it allows out-of-bounds access to
dentry's name for all the code, not just in dentry_string_cmp().
So it would be better to use read_word_at_a_time() instead and revert
commit df4c0e36f1b1.

strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may may
access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine
since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the
optimistic read won't cross a page boundary.
Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN.
Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow,
stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes):
char dst[8];
char *src;
src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL);
memset(src, 0xff, 5);
strscpy(dst, src, 8);

Sometimes we know that it's safe to do potentially out-of-bounds access
because we know it won't cross a page boundary. Still, KASAN will
report this as a bug.
Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such
cases. In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the
first byte of access is validated.

Instead of having two identical __read_once_size_nocheck() functions
with different attributes, consolidate all the difference in new macro
__no_kasan_or_inline and use it. No functional changes.

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
"A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.
I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
and I did not receive any problem report about this.
Summary:
- add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
help is doubled
- document data structure and complex code
- fix various memory leaks
- change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
pre-generated C files
- drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
- use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
- fix gettext() check for xconfig
- announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
- make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
result
- hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people
- fix misc things and cleanups"

codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for
4.17-rc1 if all goes well.
Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the

Commit cbe37d093707 ("[PATCH] mm: remove PG_highmem") removed PG_highmem
to save a page flag. So the description of PG_highmem is no longer

page-types currently hardcodes /proc/kpageflags as the file to parse.
This works when using the tool to examine the state of pageflags on the
same system, but does not allow storing a snapshot of pageflags at a
given time to debug issues nor on a different system.
This allows the user to specify a saved version of kpageflags with a new
page-types -F option.

Fix some basic kernel-doc notation in mm/swap.c:
- for function lru_cache_add_anon(), make its kernel-doc function name
match its function name and change colon to hyphen following the
function name
- for function pagevec_lookup_entries(), change the function parameter
name from nr_pages to nr_entries since that is more descriptive of
what the parameter actually is and then it matches the kernel-doc
comments also
Fix function kernel-doc to match the change in commit 67fd707f4681:
- drop the kernel-doc notation for @nr_pages from
pagevec_lookup_range() and correct the function description for that

Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase
the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing
memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has
changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it
from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works
properly for the early memmap init path.
It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark
page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later
initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in
the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls
__init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and
therefore online_pages_range skips those pages.
Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for
memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init
and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the
regression at least.

Workloads consisting of a large number of processes running the same

TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state waiting for the shared pages to be migrated.
The program listed below simulates the conditions with these results
when run with 288 processes on a 144 core/8 socket machine.

This patch changes change_pte_range() to skip shared copy-on-write pages
when called from change_prot_numa().
NOTE: change_prot_numa() is nominally called from task_numa_work() and
queue_pages_test_walk(). task_numa_work() is the auto NUMA balancing
path, and queue_pages_test_walk() is part of explicit NUMA policy
management. However, queue_pages_test_walk() only calls
change_prot_numa() when MPOL_MF_LAZY is specified and currently that is
not allowed, so change_prot_numa() is only called from auto NUMA
balancing.
In the case of explicit NUMA policy management, shared pages are not
migrated unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified, and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL
depends on CAP_SYS_NICE. Currently, there is no way to pass information
about MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to change_pte_range. This will have to be fixed
if MPOL_MF_LAZY is enabled and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is to be honored in lazy
migration mode.
task_numa_work() skips the read-only VMAs of programs and shared
libraries.

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can
get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which
relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but
the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the
mbind hugetlb migration".
The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated
page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing
with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy
in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page
migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for
other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
mbind in a special way.
The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
overcommit is saturated.
Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new
migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.
alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.

Hugetlb allocator has several layer of allocation functions depending
and the purpose of the allocation. There are two allocators depending
on whether the page can be allocated from the page allocator or we need
a contiguous allocator. This is currently opencoded in
alloc_fresh_huge_page which is the only path that might allocate giga
pages which require the later allocator. Create alloc_fresh_huge_page
which hides this implementation detail and use it in all callers which
hardcoded the buddy allocator path (__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page).
This shouldn't introduce any funtional change because both migration and
surplus allocators exlude giga pages explicitly.
While we are at it let's do some renaming. The current scheme is not
consistent and overly painfull to read and understand. Get rid of
prefix underscores from most functions. There is no real reason to make
names longer.
* alloc_fresh_huge_page is the new layer to abstract underlying
allocator
* __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page becomes shorter and neater
alloc_buddy_huge_page.
* Former alloc_fresh_huge_page becomes alloc_pool_huge_page because we put
the new page directly to the pool
* alloc_surplus_huge_page can drop the opencoded prep_new_huge_page code
as it uses alloc_fresh_huge_page now
* others lose their excessive prefix underscores to make names shorter

alloc_surplus_huge_page increases the pool size and the number of
surplus pages opportunistically to prevent from races with the pool size
change. See commit d1c3fb1f8f29 ("hugetlb: introduce
nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl") for more details.
The resulting code is unnecessarily hairy, cause code duplication and
doesn't allow to share the allocation paths. Moreover pool size changes
tend to be very seldom so optimizing for them is not really reasonable.
Simplify the code and allow to allocate a fresh surplus page as long as
we are under the overcommit limit and then recheck the condition after
the allocation and drop the new page if the situation has changed. This
should provide a reasonable guarantee that an abrupt allocation requests
will not go way off the limit.
If we consider races with the pool shrinking and enlarging then we
should be reasonably safe as well. In the first case we are off by one
in the worst case and the second case should work OK because the page is
not yet visible. We can waste CPU cycles for the allocation but that
should be acceptable for a relatively rare condition.

hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page.
This has 2 main disadvantages.
1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used
completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and
unused memory is just wasted.
2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes
might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the
page is in use. The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages
tracking (see free_huge_page).
Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account
pages allocated for migration. Those should temporal by definition. So
we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and
update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator. Page
migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page
to the old one which will be freed on the last reference. The global
surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be
careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page. This is now handled in
move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies
the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed
Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better
reflect its purpose. The new allocation routine for the migration path
is __alloc_migrate_huge_page.
The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really
temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration
request:
Before migration
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
After
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0
with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1
until the page is freed.
