a19428e5c3 kernel/kexec.c: use vscnprintf() instead of vsnprintf() in vmcoreinfo_append_str()
vsnprintf() may let 'r' larger than sizeof(buf), in this case, if 'r' is
also less than "vmcoreinfo_max_size - vmcoreinfo_size" (left size of
destination buffer), next memcpy() will read the unexpected addresses.

ba635f8cd2 The first two patches fix the debugfs README file to reflect better
the new features added to 3.14.
 
 The third patch is a minor bugfix to the trace_puts() functions that
 will crash the system if a developer adds one before the tracing system
 is setup. It also affects trace_printk() if it has no arguments, as
 the code will convert it to a trace_puts() as well. Note, this bug
 will not affect unmodified kernels, as trace_printk() and trace_puts()
 should only be used by developers for testing.

a8d4b8345e introduce __fcheck_files() to fix rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(), kill rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong,

1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a8707 "vfs: fix
   RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really
   fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can
   hit the same race with get_files_struct().

   And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct
   warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD)
   task.

2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this
   files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless
   unless the caller is the owner.

   Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means
   it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files,
   but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next
   patch.

This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into
__fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared"
callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid
the warning from RCU-lockdep.

fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert()
plus __fcheck_files().

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating

77019967f0 kdump: fix exported size of vmcoreinfo note
Right now we seem to be exporting the max data size contained inside
vmcoreinfo note.  But this does not include the size of meta data around
vmcore info data.  Like name of the note and starting and ending elf_note.

I think user space expects total size and that size is put in PT_NOTE elf
header.  Things seem to be fine so far because we are not using vmcoreinfo
note to the maximum capacity.  But as it starts filling up, to capacity,
at some point of time, problem will be visible.

I don't think user space will be broken with this change.  So there is no
need to introduce vmcoreinfo2.  This change is safe and backward
compatible.  More explanation on why this change is safe is below.

vmcoreinfo contains information about kernel which user space needs to
know to do things like filtering.  For example, various kernel config
options or information about size or offset of some data structures etc.
All this information is commmunicated to user space with an ELF note
present in ELF /proc/vmcore file.

Currently vmcoreinfo data size is 4096.  With some elf note meta data
around it, actual size is 4132 bytes.  But we are using barely 25% of that
size.  Rest is empty.  So even if we tell user space that size of ELf note
is 4096 and not 4132, nothing will be broken becase after around 1000
bytes, everything is zero anyway.

But once we start filling up the note to the capacity, and not report the
full size of note, bad things will start happening.  Either some data will
be lost or tools will be confused that they did not fine the zero note at
the end.

So I think this change is safe and should not break existing tools.

7984754b99 kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load
For general-purpose (i.e.  distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build
with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they
want to do with kexec.  However, in the face of trying to lock down a
system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load
(much like module loading can be disabled).  Without this, it is too easy
for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
and modules_disabled are set.  With this change, it is still possible to
load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack
of image) can't be altered.

The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect"
enforcement is hard.  Without a verified boot, along with verified
modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a
better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of
discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation.

In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios:

1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based
   verification of kexec images.
2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images.
3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it.
4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all.

1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has
landed.  4 is the state of things now.  The gap between 2 and 4 is too
large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2
and 1 are not possible for a system.

d375b4e0fa sched/clock: Fixup early initialization
The code would assume sched_clock_stable() and switch to !stable
later, this switch brings a discontinuity in time.

The discontinuity on switching from stable to unstable was always
present, but previously we would set stable/unstable before
initializing TSC and usually stick to the one we start out with.

So the static_key bits brought an extra switch where there previously
wasn't one.

Things are further complicated by the fact that we cannot use
static_key as early as we usually call set_sched_clock_stable().

Fix things by tracking the stable state in a regular variable and only
set the static_key to the right state on sched_clock_init(), which is
ran right after late_time_init->tsc_init().

Before this we would not be using the TSC anyway.

9390675af0 Revert "sched: Fix sleep time double accounting in enqueue entity"
This reverts commit 282cf499f0.

With the current implementation, the load average statistics of a sched entity
change according to other activity on the CPU even if this activity is done
between the running window of the sched entity and have no influence on the
running duration of the task.

When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update
with the return  of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the
runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync
the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing
it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep
last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the
next update_entity_load_avg.

286549dcaf sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration
This patch adds three tracepoints
 o trace_sched_move_numa	when a task is moved to a node
 o trace_sched_swap_numa	when a task is swapped with another task
 o trace_sched_stick_numa	when a numa-related migration fails

The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the
following high-level metrics can be calculated

 o NUMA migrated stuck	 nr trace_sched_stick_numa
 o NUMA migrated idle	 nr trace_sched_move_numa
 o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa
 o NUMA local swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen)
 o NUMA remote swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped)
 o NUMA group swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid
			 Maybe a small number of these are acceptable
			 but a high number would be a major surprise.
			 It would be even worse if bounces are frequent.
 o NUMA avg task migs.	 Average number of migrations for tasks
 o NUMA stddev task mig	 Self-explanatory
 o NUMA max task migs.	 Maximum number of migrations for a single task

In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems
where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount
of useless work.

the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to

9da791dfab kernel/printk/printk.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocations
Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
bootmem allocator.  No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
current code from bootmem users points of view.

Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock.  And
the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to
exiting bootmem APIs.

0c740d0afc introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()
while_each_thread() and next_thread() should die, almost every lockless
usage is wrong.

1. Unless g == current, the lockless while_each_thread() is not safe.

   while_each_thread(g, t) can loop forever if g exits, next_thread()
   can't reach the unhashed thread in this case. Note that this can
   happen even if g is the group leader, it can exec.

2. Even if while_each_thread() itself was correct, people often use
   it wrongly.

   It was never safe to just take rcu_read_lock() and loop unless
   you verify that pid_alive(g) == T, even the first next_thread()
   can point to the already freed/reused memory.

This patch adds signal_struct->thread_head and task->thread_node to
create the normal rcu-safe list with the stable head.  The new
for_each_thread(g, t) helper is always safe under rcu_read_lock() as
long as this task_struct can't go away.

Note: of course it is ugly to have both task_struct->thread_node and the
old task_struct->thread_group, we will kill it later, after we change
the users of while_each_thread() to use for_each_thread().

Perhaps we can kill it even before we convert all users, we can
reimplement next_thread(t) using the new thread_head/thread_node.  But
we can't do this right now because this will lead to subtle behavioural
changes.  For example, do/while_each_thread() always sees at least one
task, while for_each_thread() can do nothing if the whole thread group
has died.  Or thread_group_empty(), currently its semantics is not clear
unless thread_group_leader(p) and we need to audit the callers before we
can change it.

So this patch adds the new interface which has to coexist with the old
one for some time, hopefully the next changes will be more or less
straightforward and the old one will go away soon.

49f0ce5f92 mm: add overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable
Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the
availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the
maximum usage of memory without swapping.  With growing memory, the
1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse
for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB).

This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a
much finer grain.

7053aee26a fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups
Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each
notification event and links this event into all interested notification
groups.  This is done so that we save memory when several notification
groups are interested in the event.  However the need for event
structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure
so the result is often higher memory consumption.

Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with
outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors
with its events.  This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot
be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for
inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify
framework.  For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of
fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file
descriptors from notified files.

This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event
structure for each group.  This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines
removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures.  For example
on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus
additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each
subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each
inotify group for private data.  After the conversion inotify event
consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less
memory unless file names are long and there are several groups
interested in the events (both of which are uncommon).  Fanotify event
fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file
names so its events don't have to have it allocated).  A win unless
there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event.

The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is
used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

 - futex performance increases: larger hashes, smarter wakeups
 - mutex debugging improvements
 - lots of SMP ordering documentation updates
 - introduce the smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release() primitives.
   (There are WIP patches that make use of them - not yet merged)
 - lockdep micro-optimizations
 - lockdep improvement: better cover IRQ contexts
 - liblockdep at last. We'll continue to monitor how useful this is

Pull core debug changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Currently there are two methods to set the panic_timeout: via
  'panic=X' boot commandline option, or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic.

  This tree adds a third panic_timeout configuration method:
  configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to
  distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the
  .config.

  CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default
  value of panic_timeout.

  Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special
  panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all
  resolved to the satisfaction of everyone"

92fdd98cf8 tracing: Fix buggered tee(2) on tracing_pipe
In kernel/trace/trace.c we have this:
static void tracing_pipe_buf_release(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe,
                                     struct pipe_buffer *buf)
{
        __free_page(buf->page);
}
static const struct pipe_buf_operations tracing_pipe_buf_ops = {
        .can_merge              = 0,
        .map                    = generic_pipe_buf_map,
        .unmap                  = generic_pipe_buf_unmap,
        .confirm                = generic_pipe_buf_confirm,
        .release                = tracing_pipe_buf_release,
        .steal                  = generic_pipe_buf_steal,
        .get                    = generic_pipe_buf_get,
};
with
void generic_pipe_buf_get(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct pipe_buffer *buf)
{
        page_cache_get(buf->page);
}

and I don't see anything that would've prevented tee(2) called on the pipe
that got stuff spliced into it from that sucker.  ->ops->get() will be
called, then buf gets copied into target pipe's ->bufs[] and eventually
readers get to both copies of the buffer.  With
	get_page(page)
	look at that page
	__free_page(page)
	look at that page
	__free_page(page)
which is not a good thing, to put it mildly.  AFAICS, that ought to use
the normal generic_pipe_buf_release() (aka page_cache_release(buf->page)),
shouldn't it?

[
 SDR - As trace_pipe just allocates the page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL),
  and doesn't do anything special with it (no LRU logic). The __free_page()
  should be fine, as it wont actually free a page with reference count.
  Maybe there's a chance to leak memory? Anyway, This change is at a minimum
  good for being symmetric with generic_pipe_buf_get, it is fine to add.

48ba620aab Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a set of 3 regression fixes.

  This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add <netns>" to display
  the actual mount point.

  This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach.

  This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc
  that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use.  Oops.

  My apologies for sending this pull request so late.  Al Viro gave
  interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to
  address in detail before I sent this pull request.  Unfortunately a
  bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today.
  The executive summary of the review was:

  Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient?
      The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of
      functions is a really mess.

  Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient.  Yes, the code is mess.
      No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression
      that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line
      change will do"
