mm: page-writeback.c: local functions should not be exposed globally
This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more
complicated, but a lot more generic.
In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on
both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of
machine details. For example, if you can rely on a fast population
count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your
optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that.
NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is
not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian. Why? Because
on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can
inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that.
(The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is
the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version
of it. And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular
header file, that would be lovely)
The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows:
- WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm
uses.
- has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it.
It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to
an intermediate "data" field it can set.
This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside
the hot loops.
- "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced,
and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had
the first zero. This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows
the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte"
question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the
first one to contain a zero.
If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which
looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask()
phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either
or" case.
- The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()"
(to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into
"zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the
zero byte).
The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary
for the normal string routines. But dentry name hashing needs it, so
if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it.
This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry
hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces. This
gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in
the previous commit when moving over to the generic version.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.
On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the
alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area.
As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can
issue a warning.
This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to
solve this problem.
We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table
allocation.

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating

avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."

This set includes some minor fixes and improvements.
The one large patch addresses the special "nodir" mode,
which has been a long neglected proof of concept, but
with these fixes seems to be quite usable. It allows
the resource master to be assigned statically instead of
dynamically, which can improve performance if there is
little locality and most resources are shared.

patch addresses the special "nodir" mode, which has been a long

instead of dynamically, which can improve performance if there is
little locality and most resources are shared."

Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
added:
622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of
the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel.
Code that moved out was:
- iio core code
- mei driver
- vme core and bridge drivers
There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
drivers added to the tree:
- new iio drivers
- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers
All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a

Commit 4d7e30d (epoll: Add a flag, EPOLLWAKEUP, to prevent
suspend while epoll events are ready) caused some applications to
malfunction, because they set the bit corresponding to the new
EPOLLWAKEUP flag in their eventpoll flags and they don't have the
new CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability.
To prevent that from happening, change epoll_ctl() to clear
EPOLLWAKEUP in epds.events if the caller doesn't have the
CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability instead of failing and returning an
error code, which allows the affected applications to function
normally.

This reverts commit 8c01a529b8.
It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).
End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.
Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.
The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
goto.
2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
Gortmaker.
3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
Eric Dumazet.
4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
Cochran and Jacob Keller.
5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part
of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-)
9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman.
10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a
TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
enabled on the connection.
11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were
receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
data.
The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
any more.
12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
space.
sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
Also from Eric Dumazet.
13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
Chris Elston.
14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
threshold under certain conditions.
15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
the queue length (which is what RED uses).

This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to
do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries. It also cleans
up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the
inode information around.

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers

vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces
This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:

Note xfs_iget can be called while holding a locked agi buffer. If
it goes into memory reclaim then inode teardown may try to lock the
same buffer. Prevent the deadlock by calling radix_tree_preload
with GFP_NOFS.

xfstest 270 was causing quota reservations way beyond what was sane
(ten to hundreds of TB) for a 4GB filesystem. There's a sign problem
in the error handling path of xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() because
xfs_trans_unreserve_quota_nblks() simple negates the value passed -
which doesn't work for an unsigned variable. This causes
reservations of close to 2^32 block instead of removing a
reservation of a handful of blocks.
Fix the same problem in the other xfs_trans_unreserve_quota_nblks()
callers where unsigned integer variables are used, too.

This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function
Introduce sysfs infrastructure for exofs cluster filesystem.
Each OSD target shows up as below in the sysfs hierarchy:
/sys/fs/exofs/<osdname>_<partition_id>/devX
Where <osdname>_<partition_id> is the unique identification
of a Superblock.
Where devX: 0 <= X < device_table_size. They are ordered
in device-table order as specified to the mkfs.exofs command
Each OSD device devX has following attributes :
osdname - ReadOnly
systemid - ReadOnly
uri - Read/Write
It is up to user-mode to update devX/uri for support of
autologin.
These sysfs information are used both for autologin as well
as support for exporting exofs via a pNFSD server in user-mode.

Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch
removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in
the ubi-user.h for people who may ever wonder what was that dtype thing about.
This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for
the "dtype" field.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'mount_ubifs()'. In case of failure in
'ubifs_fixup_free_space()', it does not call 'ubifs_lpt_free()' whereas LPT
data structures can potentially be allocated. The amount of memory leaked can
be quite high -- see 'ubifs_lpt_init()'.
The bug was introduced when moving the LPT initialisation earlier in the
mount process (commit '781c5717a95a74b294beb38b8276943b0f8b5bb4').

Most functions in UBIFS follow the following designn pattern: if the function
allocates multiple resources, and failss at some point, it frees what it has
allocated and returns an error. So the caller can rely on the fact that the
callee has cleaned up everything after own failure.

If at exofs_fill_super() we had an early termination
do to any error, like an IO error while reading the
super-block. We would crash inside exofs_free_sbi().
This is because sbi->oc.numdevs was set to 1, before
we actually have a device table at all.
Fix it by moving the sbi->oc.numdevs = 1 to after the
allocation of the device table.

Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
(notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares*
(symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
way since commit 61a2878402: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it
just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require
somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other
reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
fill in the information at this point.

This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
and when do_lookup happens we try to grab task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
again in lock_trace.
Fix it using plain ptrace_may_access() helper in proc_map_files_lookup()
and in proc_map_files_readdir() instead of lock_trace(), the caller must
be CAP_SYS_ADMIN granted anyway.

This is a first step for adding ECC support for pstore RAM backend: we
will use the persistent_ram routines, kindly provided by Google.
Basically, persistent_ram is a set of helper routines to deal with the
[optionally] ECC-protected persistent ram regions.
A bit of Makefile, Kconfig and header files adjustments were needed
because of the move.
