0ff18e3734 kobject: show debug info on delayed kobject release
Useful for locating buggy drivers on kernel oops.

It may add dozens of new lines to boot dmesg. DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is
hopefully only enabled in debug kernels (like maybe the Fedora rawhide
one, or at developers), so being a bit more verbose is likely ok.

491f6f8e5f lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP()
Make use of arch_mutex_cpu_relax() so architectures can override the
default cpu_relax() semantics.
This is especially useful for s390, where cpu_relax() means that we
yield() the current (virtual) cpu and therefore is very expensive,
and would contradict the whole purpose of the lockless cmpxchg loop.

730d7d3398 sysfs: Allow mounting without CONFIG_NET
In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount.
The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there
is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed.
Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't
have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs.

This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc879 ("sysfs: Restrict mounting
sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window.

d2212b4dce lockref: allow relaxed cmpxchg64 variant for lockless updates
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of
hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count
manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it
can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are
not needed.

This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed
operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation
isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

8f4c344696 lockref: use cmpxchg64 explicitly for lockless updates
The cmpxchg() function tends not to support 64-bit arguments on 32-bit
architectures.  This could be either due to use of unsigned long
arguments (like on ARM) or lack of instruction support (cmpxchgq on
x86).  However, these architectures may implement a specific cmpxchg64()
function to provide 64-bit cmpxchg support instead.

Since the lockref code requires a 64-bit cmpxchg and relies on the
architecture selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, move to using cmpxchg64
instead of cmpxchg and allow 32-bit architectures to make use of the
lockless lockref implementation.

 "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations
  (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the
  addition of new fabric independent features to target-core
  (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY).

  The main highlights include:

   - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual
     network portals
   - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter)
   - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for
     descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list
   - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA
     pre-allocation for descriptors
   - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet)
     emulation for virtual backend drivers
   - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for
     virtual backend drivers.
   - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu)

  The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of
  particular significance, which make us the first and only open source
  target to support the full set of VAAI primitives.

  Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually
  utilize these primitives.  However, with server side support now in
  place for folks like MKP + ZAB working on the client, this logic once
  reserved for the highest end of storage arrays, can now be run in VMs

26052f9b9b crypto: crct10dif - Add fallback for broken initrds
Unfortunately, even with a softdep some distros fail to include
the necessary modules in the initrd.  Therefore this patch adds
a fallback path to restore existing behaviour where we cannot
load the new crypto crct10dif algorithm.

In order to do this, the underlying crct10dif has been split out
from the crypto implementation so that it can be used on the
fallback path.

5e4c0d9741 lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:

radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];

And we give out one radix tree node twice.  That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.

We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt.  Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.

Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting.  Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes.  However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed.  To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

9dee5c5151 rbtree: add postorder iteration functions
Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the
node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the
leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded.

In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows
the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes
(no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child
nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed).

I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but
numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand
rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the
tree.  Each of those instances could be replaced with this common
implementation.

1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions.
3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests
4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins
5 updates zswap.

This patch:

Add postorder iteration functions for rbtree.  These are useful for safely
freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

1431574a1c lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer length
When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some
arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually,
unlimited in size.

The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at
high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer
address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing.
An example of this can be found in inflate_fast():

/* next_out is the output buffer address */
out = strm->next_out - OFF;
/* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output
 * address is >= 0x80000104 */
end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257);

This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression,
since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true:

} while (in < last && out < end);

Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out".  As a
result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of
input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of
times.  This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast
enough even with this issue.

Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the
above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression
that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

674470d979 lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunk
In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk
(inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of
memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of
correct ending address.

The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the
memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g.  when starting
address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending
address will be 0x100000000.

Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

798ab48eec idr: Percpu ida
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works),
it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all
nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist
where the current job can't get to them.

We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least
(nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many
cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if
enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags
stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to
steal from.

Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because
steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy
more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our
guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think
it's worth the extra code.

From akpm:

    "It looks OK to me (that's as close as I get to an ack :))

v6 changes:
  - Add #include <linux/cpumask.h> to include/linux/percpu_ida.h to
    make alpha/arc builds happy (Fengguang)
  - Move second (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) check inside of first check scope

  - Change percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags to cpumask_t (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for percpu_ida_cpu->lock + ->nr_free (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert steal_tags() to use cpumask_weight() + cpumask_next() +
    cpumask_first() + cpumask_clear_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for alloc_global_tags() (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert percpu_ida_alloc() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm)

e7d33bb5ea lockref: add ability to mark lockrefs "dead"
The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts
even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be
any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry.

At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead"
dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because
we have pruned it and it is not valid.

Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the
dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new
reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus
cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the
dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that
verification was successful.

That's all somewhat complicated.

This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply
using a count that is negative.  This allows a usage scenario where we
can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it,
and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code.

The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably
too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code
with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex
code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

cc80ae38bf Kconfig.debug: Add FRAME_POINTER anti-dependency for ARC
Frame pointer on ARC doesn't serve the conventional purpose of stack
unwinding due to the typical way ABI designates it's usage.
Thus it's explicit usage on ARC is discouraged (gcc is free to use it,
for some tricky stack frames even if -fomit-frame-pointer).

Hence no point enabling it for ARC.

 "As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
  optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
  steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
  eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
  of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
  annotations consistent again:

   - Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
     by assembly code with asmlinkage()

   - Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
     assembly code as __visible.

  For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
  debuggability advantages, for the time being"

bc08b449ee lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop.  This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.

Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.

So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.

The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count.  If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.

In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:

 (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
     in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
     on such a u64 data type.

 (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
     ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")

 (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
     Kconfig file.

This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

7dc5dbc879 sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
Don't allow mounting sysfs unless the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights
over the net namespace.  The principle here is if you create or have
capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live with
what other people have mounted.

Instead of testing this with a straight forward ns_capable call,
perform this check the long and torturous way with kobject helpers,
this keeps direct knowledge of namespaces out of sysfs, and preserves
the existing sysfs abstractions.

ae77cbc1e7 RAID: add tilegx SIMD implementation of raid6
This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid
(md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome
generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery,
as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation.

The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx
hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.  The code reads one
cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the
next cache-line.

The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data
read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2
parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is
running on 1 core with all the data in cache.

This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6.
