7c88d2b80b drm/radeon/kms: be more pedantic about the g5 quirk (v2)
I don't think Apple offered any other cards for
this mac, so I doubt this will be an issue, but just
to be on the safe side, check the pci ids as well.

v2: fix spelling in commit message

13fca640bb Revert "fs/exec.c: use BUILD_BUG_ON for VM_STACK_FLAGS & VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP"
This reverts commit 7f81c8890c.

It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,
which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS.

The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have

  arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:

	#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
		(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)

	#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags

(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")

It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of
kernel memory to userland.

3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy
size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland.

4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows
privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel
memory.

2b472611a3 ksm: fix NULL pointer dereference in scan_get_next_rmap_item()
Andrea Righi reported a case where an exiting task can race against
ksmd::scan_get_next_rmap_item (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/1/742) easily
triggering a NULL pointer dereference in ksmd.

ksm_scan.mm_slot == &ksm_mm_head with only one registered mm

CPU 1 (__ksm_exit)		CPU 2 (scan_get_next_rmap_item)
 				list_empty() is false
lock				slot == &ksm_mm_head
list_del(slot->mm_list)
(list now empty)
unlock
				lock
				slot = list_entry(slot->mm_list.next)
				(list is empty, so slot is still ksm_mm_head)
				unlock
				slot->mm == NULL ... Oops

Close this race by revalidating that the new slot is not simply the list
head again.

Andrea's test case:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

#define BUFSIZE getpagesize()

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	void *ptr;

	if (posix_memalign(&ptr, getpagesize(), BUFSIZE) < 0) {
		perror("posix_memalign");
		exit(1);
	}
	if (madvise(ptr, BUFSIZE, MADV_MERGEABLE) < 0) {
		perror("madvise");
		exit(1);
	}
	*(char *)NULL = 0;

	return 0;
}

273ef9509b drivers/char/hpet.c: fix periodic-emulation for delayed interrupts
When interrupts are delayed due to interrupt masking or due to other
interrupts being serviced the HPET periodic-emuation would fail.  This
happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt
m we would compute the next time as t + m.  This works until we are
delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in
fact in the past.

This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where
k is large enough to be in the future.  The exact computation of k is
described in a comment to the code.

More detail:

Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal
case of

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5
t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5
...

So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late?

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past!
... counter loops ...
t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt.

This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long
(some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are
pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most
probably.

My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt
to occur at the right interval, for example:

t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed.
t15: back on track.

f9e35b3b41 mm: compaction: abort compaction if too many pages are isolated and caller is asynchronous V2
Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages.  This is all
very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a
large number of pages can be isolated.  An "asynchronous" process can
stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that
firefox can stall for 10s of seconds.  This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a
hugepage promotion than stall a process.

7454f4ba40 mm: compaction: ensure that the compaction free scanner does not move to the next zone
Compaction works with two scanners, a migration and a free scanner.  When
the scanners crossover, migration within the zone is complete.  The
location of the scanner is recorded on each cycle to avoid excesive
scanning.

When a zone is small and mostly reserved, it's very easy for the migration
scanner to be close to the end of the zone.  Then the following situation
can occurs

  o migration scanner isolates some pages near the end of the zone
  o free scanner starts at the end of the zone but finds that the
    migration scanner is already there
  o free scanner gets reinitialised for the next cycle as
    cc->migrate_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages
    moving the free scanner into the next zone
  o migration scanner moves into the next zone

When this happens, NR_ISOLATED accounting goes haywire because some of the
accounting happens against the wrong zone.  One zones counter remains
positive while the other goes negative even though the overall global
count is accurate.  This was reported on X86-32 with !SMP because !SMP
allows the negative counters to be visible.  The fact that it is the bug
should theoritically be possible there.

a582a738c7 compaction: checks correct fragmentation index
fragmentation_index() returns -1000 when the allocation might succeed
This doesn't match the comment and code in compaction_suitable(). I
thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000
case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on
watermarks.

The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is
called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists.  It should have
the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.

5db8a73a8d mm/memory-failure.c: fix page isolated count mismatch
Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE].  Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU.  Once the
pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the
isolated count is decremented.

Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative.  On SMP builds, this goes
unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu
drift.  On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a
large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or
compaction.  This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure
correctly.

d2c3225879 gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at
kernel init time.  According to commit b99b87f70c ("kernel:
constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this.  However,
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it,
and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it.  Instead, default it to n and have
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.

fbc29a25e4 memcg: avoid percpu cached charge draining at softlimit
Based on Michal Hocko's comment.

We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges.  It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.

Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

26fe616844 memcg: fix percpu cached charge draining frequency
For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache.  This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases.  Typical cases are

   1. when someone hit limit.

   2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.

But "1" has problem.

Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache.  Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.

This patch does
        A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
        B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
        C) don't call local cpu callback.

(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.

When I run "cat 1Gfile > /dev/null" under 300M limit memcg,

7ae534d074 memcg: fix wrong check of noswap with softlimit
Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).

If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense.  Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

733eda7ac3 memcg: clear mm->owner when last possible owner leaves

What happens is that khugepaged tries to charge a huge page against an mm
whose last possible owner has already exited, and the memory controller
crashes when the stale mm->owner is used to look up the cgroup to charge.

mm->owner has never been set to NULL with the last owner going away, but
nobody cared until khugepaged came along.

Even then it wasn't a problem because the final mmput() on an mm was
forced to acquire and release mmap_sem in write-mode, preventing an
exiting owner to go away while the mmap_sem was held, and until "692e0b3
mm: thp: optimize memcg charge in khugepaged", the memory cgroup charge
was protected by mmap_sem in read-mode.

Instead of going back to relying on the mmap_sem to enforce lifetime of a
task, this patch ensures that mm->owner is properly set to NULL when the
last possible owner is exiting, which the memory controller can handle
just fine.

37573e8c71 memcg: fix init_page_cgroup nid with sparsemem
Commit 21a3c96468 ("memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local
nodes") makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware.  But that caused a
problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192.

The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not
initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn,
node_end_pfn)

Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn.  But
this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access memmap which
is not initialized.

This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove a code
to get nid from page->flags.  (Then, we'll use valid NID always.)

b0320c7b7d mm: fix negative commitlimit when gigantic hugepages are allocated
When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box.  Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.

The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'.  However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()

What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:

        allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages())
                * sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages;

A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.

Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.

Impact of this bug:

When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.  In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.

Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

959ecc48fc mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug zonelist
During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new
zone.  It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages
are onlined.  So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier
will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list.  Moreover,
if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback.

This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available.

Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu
      and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems.

      But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup
      will access not initialized zonelist of node.
      Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.

bd5dc17be8 uts: make default hostname configurable, rather than always using "(none)"
The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist.  Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback.  However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs.  Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.

Make the default hostname configurable.  This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration.  Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific
target hostname.

3957c7768e mm: compaction: fix special case -1 order checks
Commit 56de7263fc ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails") introduced a check for cc->order == -1 in
compact_finished.  We should continue compacting in that case because
the request came from userspace and there is no particular order to
compact for.  Similar check has been added by 82478fb7 (mm: compaction:
prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction) for
compaction_suitable.

The check is, however, done after zone_watermark_ok which uses order as a
right hand argument for shifts.  Not only watermark check is pointless if
we can break out without it but it also uses 1 << -1 which is not well
defined (at least from C standard).  Let's move the -1 check above
zone_watermark_ok.

  ---[ end trace 8055f74ea3c0eb62 ]---

Running a ktest.pl git bisect, found the culprit: commit e303297e6c
("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather")

But although this was the commit triggering the bug, it was not the one
originally responsible for the bug.  That was commit d16dfc550f ("mm:
mmu_gather rework").

The code in zap_pte_range() has something that looks like the following:

	pte =  pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, addr, &ptl);
	do {
		[...]
	} while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
	pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1, ptl);

The pte starts off pointing at the first element in the page table
directory that was returned by the pte_offset_map_lock().  When it's done
with the page, pte will be pointing to anything between the next entry and
the first entry of the next page inclusive.  By doing a pte - 1, this puts
the pte back onto the original page, which is all that pte_unmap_unlock()
needs.

In most archs (64 bit), this is not an issue as the pte is ignored in the
pte_unmap_unlock().  But on 32 bit archs, where things may be kmapped, it
is essential that the pte passed to pte_unmap_unlock() resides on the same
page that was given by pte_offest_map_lock().

The problem came in d16dfc55 ("mm: mmu_gather rework") where it introduced
a "break;" from the while loop.  This alone did not seem to easily trigger
the bug.  But the modifications made by e303297e6 caused that "break;" to
be hit on the first iteration, before the pte++.

The pte not being incremented will now cause pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1) to
be pointing to the previous page.  This will cause the wrong page to be
unmapped, and also trigger the warning above.

The simple solution is to just save the pointer given by
pte_offset_map_lock() and use it in the unlock.

4bbd61fb97 drivers/misc/cs5535-mfgpt.c: fix wrong if condition
Fix the wrong `if' condition for the check if the requested timer is
available.

The bitmap avail is used to store if a timer is used already.  test_bit()
is used to check if the requested timer is available.  If a bit in the
avail bitmap is set it means that the timer is available.

The runtime effect would be that allocating a specific timer always fails
(versus telling cs5535_mfgpt_alloc_timer to allocate the first available
timer, which works).

32e45ff43e mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30
Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236)
that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual
Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB).  He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on
a very traditional single-process model.

  * a master process which reads config files and manages the other
    process
  * multiple imapd processes, one per connection
  * multiple pop3d processes, one per connection
  * multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection
  * periodical "cleanup" processes.

There are thousands of independent processes.  The problem is, recent
Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional
prefork model software don't work well on it.  Unfortunatelly, such models
are still typical even in the 21st century.  We can't ignore them.

This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30.  30 doesn't have
any specific meaning.  but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and
such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional
servers as above.  The intention is that these machines don't use
zone_reclaim_mode.

Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions.
This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior.

Dave Hansen said:

: I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information
: in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode
: behavior which that implies.
:
: They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks
: to make sure that they _want_ this turned on.  What this means for them
: is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of
: the kernel.
:
: If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we
: should do.  Have a list of specific configurations that need the
: defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an
: unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance
: table.

And later said:

: The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a
: benchmark.  Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the
: next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where
: this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark.  I'm sure any new
: hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to
: make the kernel do what it wants.  :)
:
: Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained.  So, I
: guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch.  I'm cool with it.
