We could call free_bootmem_late() if swiotlb is not used, and
it will shrink to page alignment.
So alloc them with page alignment at first, to avoid lose two pages
before patch:
[ 0.000000] memblock_x86_reserve_range: [00d3600000, 00d7600000] swiotlb buffer

[ 0.000000] memblock_x86_reserve_range: [000008a000, 0000092000] swiotlb overflo

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73
will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous
because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the
"containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So
the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write
access, we can end up with memory corruption.

When CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is set and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not, we

warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING)

This is because IRQSOFF_TRACER selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS but TRACE_IRQFLAGS
has PROVE_LOCKING as a dependency. This code is incorrect, and
this patch changes the TRACE_IRQFLAGS to be just a simple bool that
does not depend or select anything. Instead both IRQSOFF_TRACER and
PROVE_LOCKING select it.

When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of
bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page()
or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1),
and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by
kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

* 'radix-tree' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/xfsdev:
radix-tree: radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() can set incorrect tags
radix-tree: clear all tags in radix_tree_node_rcu_free
|
|
Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree:
omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely
set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree
setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under
the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the
range it is searching.
Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after
setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of
tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we
we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with
the tag we are searching for set.
As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate
nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The
result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or
livelock because the lookup cannot make progress.
The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we
take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the
tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already
recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no
additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in
this manner.
This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new
writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit
f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback
livelock avoidance using page tagging").

Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement
writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new
radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to
3. It did not, however, fix up the code in
radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink()
and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array.
The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the
above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups,
resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree.
Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen
again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink()
leaves behind.

Currently, if RCU CPU stall warnings are enabled, they are enabled
immediately upon boot. They can be manually disabled via /sys (and
also re-enabled via /sys), and are automatically disabled upon panic.
However, some users need RCU CPU stalls to be disabled at boot time,
but to be enabled without rebuilding/rebooting. For example, someone
running a real-time application in production might not want the
additional latency of RCU CPU stall detection in normal operation, but
might need to enable it at any point for fault isolation purposes.
This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE
kernel configuration parameter that maintains the current behavior
(enable at boot) by default, but allows a kernel to be configured
with RCU CPU stall detection built into the kernel, but disabled at
boot time.

This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier.
This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected
pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed
directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(),
or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable
such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are
intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism.
There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer()
accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for
example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question
or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock.
This patch also updates a number of docbook comments that were showing
their age.

This change addresses the following situation:
- Thread A acquires the rwsem for read
- Thread B tries to acquire the rwsem for write, notices there is already
an active owner for the rwsem.
- Thread C tries to acquire the rwsem for read, notices that thread B already
tried to acquire it.
- Thread C grabs the spinlock and queues itself on the wait queue.
- Thread B grabs the spinlock and queues itself behind C. At this point A is
the only remaining active owner on the rwsem.
In this situation thread B could notice that it was the last active writer
on the rwsem, and decide to wake C to let it proceed in parallel with A
since they both only want the rwsem for read.

Previously each waiting thread added a bias of RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. With
this change, the bias is added only once to indicate that the wait list is
non-empty.
This has a few nice properties which will be used in following changes:
- when the spinlock is held and the waiter list is known to be non-empty,
count < RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there is an active writer on that sem
- count == RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS <=> there are waiting threads and no
active readers/writers on that sem

In __rwsem_do_wake(), we can skip the active count check unless we come
there from up_xxxx(). Also when checking the active count, it is not
actually necessary to increment it; this allows us to get rid of the read
side undo code and simplify the calculation of the final rwsem count
adjustment once we've counted the reader threads to wake.
The basic observation is the following. When there are waiter threads on
a rwsem and the spinlock is held, other threads can only increment the
active count by trying to grab the rwsem in down_xxxx(). However
down_xxxx() will notice there are waiter threads and take the down_failed
path, blocking to acquire the spinlock on the way there. Therefore, a
thread observing an active count of zero with waiters queued and the
spinlock held, is protected against other threads acquiring the rwsem
until it wakes the last waiter or releases the spinlock.

This is in preparation for later changes in the series.
In __rwsem_do_wake(), the first queued waiter is checked first in order to
determine whether it's a writer or a reader. The code paths diverge at
this point. The code that checks and increments the rwsem active count is
duplicated on both sides - the point is that later changes in the series
will be able to independently modify both sides.

Getting and putting arrays of pointers with flex arrays is a PITA. You
have to remember to pass &ptr to the _put and you have to do weird and
wacky casting to get the ptr back from the _get. Add two functions
flex_array_get_ptr() and flex_array_put_ptr() to handle all of the magic.

Use the magic LIST_POISON* values to detect an incorrect use of list_del
on a deleted entry. This DEBUG_LIST specific warning is easier to

A profile of a network benchmark showed iommu_num_pages rather high up:
0.52% iommu_num_pages
Looking at the profile, an integer divide is taking almost all of the time:
%
: c000000000376ea4 <.iommu_num_pages>:
1.93 : c000000000376ea4: fb e1 ff f8 std r31,-8(r1)

0.00 : c000000000376eb8: 7c 84 2a 14 add r4,r4,r5
46.95 : c000000000376ebc: 7c 00 18 38 and r0,r0,r3
45.66 : c000000000376ec0: 7c 84 02 14 add r4,r4,r0

0.00 : c000000000376ec8: 38 3f 00 40 addi r1,r31,64
0.00 : c000000000376ecc: eb e1 ff f8 ld r31,-8(r1)
1.61 : c000000000376ed0: 4e 80 00 20 blr
Since every caller of iommu_num_pages passes in a constant power of two
we can inline this such that the divide is replaced by a shift. The
entire function is only a few instructions once optimised, so it is
a good candidate for inlining overall.

Add percpu_counter_compare that allows for a quick but accurate comparison
of percpu_counter with a given value.
A rough count is provided by the count field in percpu_counter structure,
without accounting for the other values stored in individual cpu counters.
The actual count is a sum of count and the cpu counters. However, count
field is never different from the actual value by a factor of
batch*num_online_cpu. We do not need to get actual count for comparison
if count is different from the given value by this factor and allows for
quick comparison without summing up all the per cpu counters.
