The stack frame size could grow too large when the plugin used long long on 32-bit architectures when the given function had too many basic blocks. The gcc warning was: drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c: In function 'ibmphp_access_ebda': drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c:409:1: warning: the frame size of 1108 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This switches latent_entropy from u64 to unsigned long.

On 4.0, we saw a stack corruption from a page fault entering direct memory cgroup reclaim, calling into btrfs_releasepage(), which then tried to allocate an extent and recursed back into a kmem charge ad nauseam: [...] btrfs_releasepage+0x2c/0x30 try_to_release_page+0x32/0x50 shrink_page_list+0x6da/0x7a0 shrink_inactive_list+0x1e5/0x510 shrink_lruvec+0x605/0x7f0 shrink_zone+0xee/0x320 do_try_to_free_pages+0x174/0x440 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages+0xa7/0x130 try_charge+0x17b/0x830 memcg_charge_kmem+0x40/0x80 new_slab+0x2d9/0x5a0 __slab_alloc+0x2fd/0x44f kmem_cache_alloc+0x193/0x1e0 alloc_extent_state+0x21/0xc0 __clear_extent_bit+0x2b5/0x400 try_release_extent_mapping+0x1a3/0x220 __btrfs_releasepage+0x31/0x70 btrfs_releasepage+0x2c/0x30 try_to_release_page+0x32/0x50 shrink_page_list+0x6da/0x7a0 shrink_inactive_list+0x1e5/0x510 shrink_lruvec+0x605/0x7f0 shrink_zone+0xee/0x320 do_try_to_free_pages+0x174/0x440 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages+0xa7/0x130 try_charge+0x17b/0x830 mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x65/0x1c0 handle_mm_fault+0x117f/0x1510 __do_page_fault+0x177/0x420 do_page_fault+0xc/0x10 page_fault+0x22/0x30 On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore. But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it. Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

2016-10-27mm: kmemleak: ensure that the task stack is not freed during scanningCatalin Marinas
Commit 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") may cause the task->stack to be freed during kmemleak_scan() execution, leading to either a NULL pointer fault (if task->stack is NULL) or kmemleak accessing already freed memory. This patch uses the new try_get_task_stack() API to ensure that the task stack is not freed during kmemleak stack scanning. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173901.

2016-10-27mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo statsAruna Ramakrishna
On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband). This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance improved from 2s to 5ms.

2016-10-27mm/list_lru.c: avoid error-path NULL pointer derefAlexander Polakov
As described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177821: After some analysis it seems to be that the problem is in alloc_super(). In case list_lru_init_memcg() fails it goes into destroy_super(), which calls list_lru_destroy(). And in list_lru_init() we see that in case memcg_init_list_lru() fails, lru->node is freed, but not set NULL, which then leads list_lru_destroy() to believe it is initialized and call memcg_destroy_list_lru(). memcg_destroy_list_lru() in turn can access lru->node[i].memcg_lrus, which is NULL.

2016-10-27mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache creation delayed issueJoonsoo Kim
There is a bug report that SLAB makes extreme load average due to over 2000 kworker thread. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172981 This issue is caused by kmemcg feature that try to create new set of kmem_caches for each memcg. Recently, kmem_cache creation is slowed by synchronize_sched() and futher kmem_cache creation is also delayed since kmem_cache creation is synchronized by a global slab_mutex lock. So, the number of kworker that try to create kmem_cache increases quietly. synchronize_sched() is for lockless access to node's shared array but it's not needed when a new kmem_cache is created. So, this patch rules out that case.

2016-10-27Allow KASAN and HOTPLUG_MEMORY to co-exist when doing build testingLinus Torvalds
No, KASAN may not be able to co-exist with HOTPLUG_MEMORY at runtime, but for build testing there is no reason not to allow them together. This hopefully means better build coverage and fewer embarrasing silly problems like the one fixed by commit 9db4f36e82c2 ("mm: remove unused variable in memory hotplug") in the future.

2016-10-27mm: remove unused variable in memory hotplugLinus Torvalds
When I removed the per-zone bitlock hashed waitqueues in commit 9dcb8b685fc3 ("mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues"), I removed all the magic hotplug memory initialization of said waitqueues too. But when I actually _tested_ the resulting build, I stupidly assumed that "allmodconfig" would enable memory hotplug. And it doesn't, because it enables KASAN instead, which then disables hotplug memory support. As a result, my build test of the per-zone waitqueues was totally broken, and I didn't notice that the compiler warns about the now unused iterator variable 'i'. I guess I should be happy that that seems to be the worst breakage from my clearly horribly failed test coverage.

2016-10-27mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueuesLinus Torvalds
The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

2016-10-24mm: unexport __get_user_pages()Lorenzo Stoakes
This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function. Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to this function from its one user, kvm. We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call stacks: get_user_page_nowait(): get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL) check_user_page_hwpoison(): get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL) __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH) __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL, NULL, NULL) Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-10-20mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current()Andy Lutomirski
Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races unless the task is frozen in kernel mode. As far as I know, vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case. The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this patch.

2016-10-19Merge branch 'gup_flag-cleanups'Linus Torvalds
Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

2016-10-12Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after allLinus Torvalds
This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree. We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c (which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree. Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it. We have never actually had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable it globally and not worry about it.

2016-10-11mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mappingCatalin Marinas
Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.

2016-10-10latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropyEmese Revfy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

2016-10-10gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy pluginEmese Revfy
This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

2016-10-07mm: warn about allocations which stall for too longMichal Hocko
Currently we do warn only about allocation failures but small allocations are basically nofail and they might loop in the page allocator for a long time. Especially when the reclaim cannot make any progress - e.g. GFP_NOFS cannot invoke the oom killer and rely on a different context to make a forward progress in case there is a lot memory used by filesystems. Give us at least a clue when something like this happens and warn about allocations which take more than 10s. Print the basic allocation context information along with the cumulative time spent in the allocation as well as the allocation stack. Repeat the warning after every 10 seconds so that we know that the problem is permanent rather than ephemeral.

2016-10-07mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed usersMichal Hocko
warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.
