Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that
has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the
userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many
devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS
entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google
developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I
checked they were, which was good.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
reported issues.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"Highlights:
- AMD KFD driver merge
This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for
GPGPU use. They have an open source userspace built on top of this
interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of
tree.
- Initial atomic modesetting work
The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year. No more,
the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
are in this tree. Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.
- DisplayID 1.3 and tiled monitor exposed to userspace.
Tiled monitor property is now exposed for userspace to make use of.
- Rockchip drm driver merged.
- imx gpu driver moved out of staging
Other stuff:
- core:
panel - MIPI DSI + new panels.
expose suggested x/y properties for virtual GPUs
- i915:

The VM_FAULT_RETRY handling was confusing and incorrect for the case of
returning to kernel mode. We need to handle the exception table fixup
if we return to kernel mode due to a fatal signal - it will basically
look to the kernel user mode access like the access failed due to the VM
going away from udner it. Which is correct - the process is dying - and
avoids the whole "repeat endless kernel page faults" case.
Handling the VM_FAULT_RETRY early and in just one place also simplifies
the mmap_sem handling, since once we've taken care of VM_FAULT_RETRY we
know that we can just drop the lock. The remaining accounting and
possible error handling is thread-local and does not need the mmap_sem.

This replaces four copies in various stages of mm_fault_error() handling
with just a single one. It will also allow for more natural placement
of the unlocking after some further cleanup.

This reverts commit 52f7eb945f.
The optimization is only really safe for a single queue, otherwise
'bs' and 'bt' can indeed change, and if we don't do a finish_wait()
for each loop, we'll potentially change the wait structure and
corrupt task wait list.

LZ4 is a lightweight compression algorithm which can be used
on embedded systems to reduce CPU and memory overhead (in comparison
to the standard zlib compression).
These patches add the wrapper code to allow Squashfs to use
the existing LZ4 decompression code, and the necessary configuration
option.

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

Users have no business installing custom code segments into the

For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit. (Prior to
this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.)
This is an ABI break. I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and
none of them look like they'll have any trouble.
Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes
no known bugs. Given the possibility of ABI issues, this

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?

clean ups from that branch.
This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in practice.
With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
accepted into mainline.
Here's what is contained in this patch set:
o Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of
the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.
o The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have
a patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was done
to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I may
try to get that patch in for 3.20.
o The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being dependent
on CONFIG_TRACING.
o The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of
the internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow the
NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack() without
needing to update that code as well.
o Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would wait
till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the seq_buf
data to the console safely from a non NMI context.

2) I was tracing some code and found that the sched_switch tracepoint

due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu variable.
The tracepoint logic was made to use the tasks saved_preempt_count
which could hold a stale "PREEMPT_ACTIVE", instead of using the
current preempt_count() call.

due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu
variable. The tracepoint logic was made to use the tasks
saved_preempt_count which could hold a stale "PREEMPT_ACTIVE",
instead of using the current preempt_count() call"

"Two small patches from the audit next branch; only one of which has
any real significant code changes, the other is simply a MAINTAINERS
update for audit.
The single code patch is pretty small and rather straightforward, it
changes the audit "version" number reported to userspace from an
integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the
running kernel. This really doesn't have much impact on the kernel,
but it will make life easier for the audit userspace folks.
Thankfully we were still on a version number which allowed us to do
this without breaking userspace"

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.

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.
This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().
The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.
It resembles the logic of the write() system call.
When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.
Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.
Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.
The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.
So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool. The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.
Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.
Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?

If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free
objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see
get_any_partial). While checking other nodes we respect cpuset
constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check.
As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some
pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set.
However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations,
so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case.
Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to
conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have
free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list
(GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries
to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While
iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which
hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound
to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free
slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may
allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a
result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes,
which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a
very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully.
To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree
with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly
experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as
reported by /proc/slabinfo.
To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

This is a highly-contrived scenario. But, a single shmdt() call can be
induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments. Example code
is here:
http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c
The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we
encounter and then stick to it. Decline to unmap anything not from the
same file and thus the same segment.
I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice
are pretty darn small.
Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch.

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).

When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than
necessary. Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb().
And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster.
The race we must protect against is:
sem->lock is free
sma->complex_count = 0
sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B
thread A:
A: spin_lock(&sem->lock)
B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1)
B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: XXXXX memory barrier
A: if (sma->complex_count == 0)
Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must
not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked().
Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient.
