Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.
This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.
Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.
Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing
anything.
Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.
This patch (of 9):
Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.
This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.
Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.
There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.
The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.

After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory
allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device
driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous
memory ares for large responses.
To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory
allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a
default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the
VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma"
kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m").
For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area
will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to
the buddy allocator.

All systems with a defined ACPI preferred profile that are not
"servers" have been using the load-based P-state selection algorithm
in intel_pstate since 4.12-rc1 (mobile systems and laptops have been
using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported
to date. In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based
P-state selection have been reported. Also testing indicates that
the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par
with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads
it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more
straightforward and easier to understand at the same time.
Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate
is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic,
the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a
significant maintenance burden.
For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state
selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all
systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with
all things related to it from the driver. Also update the
documentation accordingly.

If a CPU is specified in the nohz_full= kernel boot parameter to a
kernel built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, then that CPU's callbacks will
be offloaded, just as if that CPU had also been specified in the
rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter. But the current documentation
states that the user must keep these two boot parameters manually
synchronized. This commit therefore updates the documentation to
reflect reality.

The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how
fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for
the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate.
At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than
the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in
the policy will be only changing frequency for ever.
But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to
have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user
to figure out.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
We've run into problems with running out of dynamicly assign char
device majors particullarly on automated test systems with
all-yes-configs. Roughly 40 dynamic assignments can be made with such
kernels at this time while space is reserved for only 20.
Currently, the kernel only prints a warning when dynamic allocation
overflows the reserved region. And when this happens drivers that have
fixed assignments can randomly fail depending on the order of
initialization of other drivers. Thus, adding a new char device can cause
unexpected failures in completely unrelated parts of the kernel.
This patch solves the problem by extending dynamic major number
allocations down from 511 once the 234-254 region fills up. Fixed
majors already exist above 255 so the infrastructure to support
high number majors is already in place. The patch reserves an
additional 128 major numbers which should hopefully last us a while.
Kernels that don't require more than 20 dynamic majors assigned (which
is pretty typical) should not be affected by this change.

Commit 20b2f52b73 ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for
movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a
good explanation on why it is actually useful.
It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we
already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on
the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the
configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an
additional ifdefery that pollutes the code.
Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This
shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Pull security layer updates from James Morris:
- a major update for AppArmor. From JJ:
* several bug fixes and cleanups
* the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated
on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of
securityfs symlinks
* it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been
carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it
converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling
base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally
will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide
a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries.
* This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation
features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that
Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top
of this.
- Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map
permission. From Paul:
"While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12),
the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes.
Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by
Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2
labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy
capabilities on policy load"
There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was
lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs.
- Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a
cap_capable call in privilege check.
- TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements.
- Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same
LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files.
- IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from
the boot command line.

- Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
laptops (Rafael Wysocki).
That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for
the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).
- Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).
- Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).
- Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that
can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which
allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of
RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical
sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the
IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).
- Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
(hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance"
P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid
registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).
- Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in
intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to
different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown).
- Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).
- Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).
- Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1
on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).
- Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
information into account (Prashanth Prakash).
- Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the
imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate
drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila,
Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang).
- Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski,
Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
(OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).
- Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
(AVS) driver (David Wu).
- Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
driver (Adam Lessnau).
- Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).
- Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).
- Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix

added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
bus locking infrastructure.
Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
laptops (Rafael Wysocki).
That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).
- Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).
- Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).
- Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).
- Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
(hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).
- Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
names used by it (Len Brown).
- Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).
- Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).
- Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).
- Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
information into account (Prashanth Prakash).
- Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
(Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
Wysocki, Tao Wang).
- Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
(OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).
- Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
(AVS) driver (David Wu).
- Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
driver (Adam Lessnau).
- Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).
- Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).
- Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).
- Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
Kozlowski)"

After commit 82b4e03e01 (intel_pstate: skip scheduler hook when in
"performance" mode) get_target_pstate_use_performance() and
get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() are never called if scaling_governor
is "performance", so drop the CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE checks from
them as they will never trigger anyway.
Moreover, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect the change
made by the above commit, so do that too.

The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for
at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec
kernel image), but changing it would break the existing userspace/kernel
ABI.
This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which
can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently
or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing
ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot". The new appraisal rules
requiring file signatures will be added prior to the "ima_appraise_tcb"
rules.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.
