Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
just removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
"Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.
This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:
- A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time. This
is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
the hardware can do this with a single register write. Both
consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
to driving individual lines where needed. Implemented for the
MPC8xxx driver initially
- Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
simultaneously
- Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip. This
moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
global, static GPIO numberspace
- New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs
- New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid
- Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794
- Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
more strict with the advent of combined device properties
- Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver
- A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

"For 3.19, the I2C subsystem has to offer special candy this time.

missing but will come later this cycle, the code is good enough to
go.
- I2C muxes represent their topology in sysfs much more detailed.
This will help users to navigate around much easier.
- irq population of i2c clients is now done at probe time, not device
creation time, to have better support for deferred probing.
- new drivers for Imagination SCB, Amlogic Meson

There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu
period end before they can be freed. However by the time mark is added to
destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can
reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list. This saves
two pointers for each fsnotify_mark.

SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.
And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed.
The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
that expect that the value exists.
Notes:
1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
MSGMNI as necessary.
Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).
2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
to control latency vs. throughput:
If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

a)
SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
Therefore: Increase the sysv sem limits so that all known applications
will work with these defaults.
b)
With regards to the maximum supported:
Some of the specified hard limits are not correct anymore, therefore the
patch updates the documentation.
- SEMMNI must stay below IPCMNI, which is 32768.
As for SHMMAX: Stay a bit below this limit.
- SEMMSL was limited to 8k, to ensure that the kmalloc for the kernel array
was limited to 16 kB (order=2)
This doesn't apply anymore:
- the allocation size isn't sizeof(short)*nsems anymore.
- ipc_alloc falls back to vmalloc
- SEMOPM should stay below 1000, to limit the kmalloc in semtimedop() to an
order=1 allocation.
Therefore: Leave it at 500 (order=0 allocation).
Note:
If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set the
values as necessary.
Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).

This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).
The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version
of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
or otherwise restricted environments.
Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
an appropriate generalization.
Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the
AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).
Related history:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
"prevent other people from wasting their time".
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
been fixed.
This patch (of 4):
Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat()
is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
resolves the filename relative to that.
In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This
replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and
so relies on /proc being mounted).
The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>"
(for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively
reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that
execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
accessible after exec).

Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to
allocate an object from a kmem cache @c. The copy of @c corresponding to
@memcg, @mc, is empty. Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory
cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache
after it was destroyed:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[ current=@t
@mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ]
kmem_cache_alloc(@c):
call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c);
proceed to allocation from @mc:
alloc a page for @mc:
...
move @t from @memcg
destroy @memcg:
mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg):
memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg):
kmem_cache_destroy(@mc)
add page to @mc
We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but
that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches,
which would look cumbersome.
Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a
per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be
dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline
to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one
by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup
is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though.
Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path,
but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu
counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in
memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory
cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to
handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc
may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

oom_kill.c assumes that PF_EXITING task should exit and free the memory
soon. This is wrong in many ways and one important case is the coredump.
A task can sleep in exit_mm() "forever" while the coredumping sub-thread
can need more memory.
Change the PF_EXITING checks to take SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP into account,
we add the new trivial helper for that.
Note: this is only the first step, this patch doesn't try to solve other
problems. The SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is obviously racy, a task can
participate in coredump after it was already observed in PF_EXITING state,
so TIF_MEMDIE (which also blocks oom-killer) still can be wrongly set.
fatal_signal_pending() can be true because of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP so
out_of_memory() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() shouldn't blindly trust it.
And even the name/usage of the new helper is confusing, an exiting thread
can only free its ->mm if it is the only/last task in thread group.

The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in
kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the
eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware
shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is
redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to
the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will
only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them
to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well.
Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all
reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication.
Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which
considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like
zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all
visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value.
Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To
avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once
for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot
zone.
For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic
and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and
zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing
memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much
duplication of both code and runtime work.
This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each
zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in
meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes.
Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the
same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it
merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes
the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer
feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

It isn't supposed to stack, so turn it into a bit-field to save 4 bytes on

Also, remove the memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account helpers - it is clearer to

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

This series is a continuation of the conversion of the i_mmap_mutex to
rwsem, following what we have for the anon memory counterpart. With
Hugh's feedback from the first iteration.
Ultimately, the most obvious paths that require exclusive ownership of the
lock is when we modify the VMA interval tree, via
vma_interval_tree_insert() and vma_interval_tree_remove() families. Cases
such as unmapping, where the ptes content is changed but the tree remains
untouched should make it safe to share the i_mmap_rwsem.
As such, the code of course is straightforward, however the devil is very
much in the details. While its been tested on a number of workloads
without anything exploding, I would not be surprised if there are some
less documented/known assumptions about the lock that could suffer from
these changes. Or maybe I'm just missing something, but either way I
believe its at the point where it could use more eyes and hopefully some
time in linux-next.
Because the lock type conversion is the heart of this patchset,
its worth noting a few comparisons between mutex vs rwsem (xadd):
(i) Same size, no extra footprint.
(ii) Both have CONFIG_XXX_SPIN_ON_OWNER capabilities for
exclusive lock ownership.
(iii) Both can be slightly unfair wrt exclusive ownership, with
writer lock stealing properties, not necessarily respecting
FIFO order for granting the lock when contended.
(iv) Mutexes can be slightly faster than rwsems when
the lock is non-contended.
(v) Both suck at performance for debug (slowpaths), which
shouldn't matter anyway.
Sharing the lock is obviously beneficial, and sem writer ownership is
close enough to mutexes. The biggest winner of these changes is
migration.
As for concrete numbers, the following performance results are for a
4-socket 60-core IvyBridge-EX with 130Gb of RAM.
Both alltests and disk (xfs+ramdisk) workloads of aim7 suite do quite well
with this set, with a steady ~60% throughput (jpm) increase for alltests
and up to ~30% for disk for high amounts of concurrency. Lower counts of
workload users (< 100) does not show much difference at all, so at least
no regressions.

In addition, a 67.5% increase in successfully migrated NUMA pages, thus
improving node locality.
The patch layout is simple but designed for bisection (in case reversion
is needed if the changes break upstream) and easier review:
o Patches 1-4 convert the i_mmap lock from mutex to rwsem.
o Patches 5-10 share the lock in specific paths, each patch
details the rationale behind why it should be safe.
This patchset has been tested with: postgres 9.4 (with brand new hugetlb
support), hugetlbfs test suite (all tests pass, in fact more tests pass
with these changes than with an upstream kernel), ltp, aim7 benchmarks,
memcached and iozone with the -B option for mmap'ing. *Untested* paths
are nommu, memory-failure, uprobes and xip.
This patch (of 8):
Various parts of the kernel acquire and release this mutex, so add
i_mmap_lock_write() and immap_unlock_write() helper functions that will
encapsulate this logic. The next patch will make use of these.
