Merge tag 'v6.11-rc6' into docs-mw
This is done primarily to get a docs build fix merged via another tree so
that "make htmldocs" stops failing.
Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type".
Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch
and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme
(1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type.
This patch (of 4):
An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a
single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type
any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that
patch.

Commit 79365026f8 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support")
generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update
multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr.
Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same.
No functional change.

This patch implements a union-find data structure in the kernel library,
which includes operations for allocating nodes, freeing nodes,
finding the root of a node, and merging two nodes.

Since v6.8 the definition of GFP_NOWAIT has implied __GFP_NOWARN,
so it is now redundant to add this flag explicitly.
Update the docs to match, and emphasise the need for a fallback
when using GFP_NOWAIT.

- Core:
- Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to expand
any of this for new required functionality.
The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument. The
data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for easy
extension.
The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
provide extra init/exit callbacks.
This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization before
the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites won't see
a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems exist on
teardown.
This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
parallel probing which was added in recent years.
Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible workarounds
at the driver level.
- The usual small improvements all over the place
- Drivers
- Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC
- Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version to
allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform kernels.
- Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not support
IPIs.
- The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place.

Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch.
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of
cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the
zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here -
more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of
higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the
series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has
simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me!
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio
userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self
testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are
"mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config
option" and
"mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive
correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and
handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate
folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from
poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare
refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they
reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps
for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs
from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang
improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to
multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not
very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Slab allocators have been guaranteeing natural alignment for
power-of-two sizes since commit 59bb47985c ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee
natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), while any other sizes are
guaranteed to be aligned only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN bytes (although
in practice are aligned more than that in non-debug scenarios).
Rust's allocator API specifies size and alignment per allocation, which
have to satisfy the following rules, per Alice Ryhl [1]:
1. The alignment is a power of two.
2. The size is non-zero.
3. When you round up the size to the next multiple of the alignment,
then it must not overflow the signed type isize / ssize_t.
In order to map this to kmalloc()'s guarantees, some requested
allocation sizes have to be padded to the next power-of-two size [2].
For example, an allocation of size 96 and alignment of 32 will be padded
to an allocation of size 128, because the existing kmalloc-96 bucket
doesn't guarantee alignent above ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Without slab
debugging active, the layout of the kmalloc-96 slabs however naturally
align the objects to 32 bytes, so extending the size to 128 bytes is
wasteful.
To improve the situation we can extend the kmalloc() alignment
guarantees in a way that
1) doesn't change the current slab layout (and thus does not increase
internal fragmentation) when slab debugging is not active
2) reduces waste in the Rust allocator use case
3) is a superset of the current guarantee for power-of-two sizes.
The extended guarantee is that alignment is at least the largest
power-of-two divisor of the requested size. For power-of-two sizes the
largest divisor is the size itself, but let's keep this case documented
separately for clarity.
For current kmalloc size buckets, it means kmalloc-96 will guarantee
alignment of 32 bytes and kmalloc-196 will guarantee 64 bytes.
This covers the rules 1 and 2 above of Rust's API as long as the size is
a multiple of the alignment. The Rust layer should now only need to
round up the size to the next multiple if it isn't, while enforcing the
rule 3.
Implementation-wise, this changes the alignment calculation in
create_boot_cache(). While at it also do the calulation only for caches
with the SLAB_KMALLOC flag, because the function is also used to create
the initial kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node caches, where no alignment
guarantee is necessary.
In the Rust allocator's krealloc_aligned(), remove the code that padded
sizes to the next power of two (suggested by Alice Ryhl) as it's no
longer necessary with the new guarantees.

Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run

header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.
provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

There are bunch of codes in driver like
if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason.
And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure.
According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of
address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it
must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address
width.
See below code fragment:
dma_set_mask(mask)
{
mask = (dma_addr_t)mask;
if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask))
return -EIO;
arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask);
*dev->dma_mask = mask;
return 0;
}
dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported
call back function.
int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT;
/*
* Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture
* to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical
* memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32. If neither is the case, the
* architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping.
*/
if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
return 1;
...
}
The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's
minimized dma capability.
An example:
static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)()
{
...
* check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address
* The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits.
*/
return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 +
(ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) )));
...
}
1 means supported. 0 means unsupported.
Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant

- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more
topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue
behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, 636b927eba

switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a

An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency
enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent
executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical
problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max
concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths)
and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable
perf regressions in some use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a
separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently
mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or
(finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit
clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to
handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max
concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See 5797b1c189
("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound

- BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but

5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered")
automoatically promoted UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered
workqueues because UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 used to be the way
to create ordered workqueues and the new NUMA support broke it. These
problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA
machines made them even more difficult to debug.
However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other
issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to
be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq
unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue
udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs
which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in
forever.
There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the
preceding patches audited all and converted them to
alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit
promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones.
v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in
apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and
fails workqueue creation. Fix it.

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as
the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is
complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios
and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms.
This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and
features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq
context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of
the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be
thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq.
Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active
adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular
workqueues and work items.
Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to
convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is
complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over
the tasklet softirqs.
system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in
tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH
workqueues without creating their own workqueues.
v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include.
v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action
functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer
to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai.
- Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task
handling or can use clarification. Updated.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This contains two major new drivers:
- imagination is a first driver for Imagination Technologies devices,
it only covers very specific devices, but there is hope to grow it
- xe is a reboot of the i915 GPU (shares display) side using a more
upstream focused development model, and trying to maximise code
sharing. It's not enabled for any hw by default, and will hopefully
get switched on for Intel's Lunarlake.
This also drops a bunch of the old UMS ioctls. It's been dead long
enough.
amdgpu has a bunch of new color management code that is being used in
the Steam Deck.

The SLAB implementation is going to be removed, and mm-api.rst currently
uses mm/slab.c to obtain kerneldocs for some API functions. Switch it to
mm/slub.c and move the relevant kerneldocs of exported functions from
one to the other. The rest of kerneldocs in slab.c is for static SLAB
implementation-specific functions that don't have counterparts in slub.c
and thus can be simply removed with the implementation.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default
behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A
work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the
same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the
scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are
becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache
locality while not harming work conservation too much.
Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution
affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the
default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically.
This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed
recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an
eye out.
* Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.
* workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue
can be constrained early during boot.
* Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if
system-wide workqueues are flushed.
* One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the
affinity scope patchset.

ALSA / ASoC Core:
- Fixes of inconsistent locking around control API helpers
- A few new control API functions and cleanups
- Workarounds for potential UAFs by delayed kobj releases
- Unified PCM copy ops with iov_iter
- Continued efforts for ASoC API cleanups
ASoC:

some IIO changes
- Create a library function for intlog10() and use it in the NAU8825
driver
- Convert drivers to use the more modern maple tree register cache

Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by
userspace. These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for
managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug
changes.
For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/memory directory. For example:
# udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81
looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81':
KERNEL=="memory81"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{online}=="1"
ATTR{phys_device}=="0"
ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051"
ATTR{removable}=="1"
ATTR{state}=="online"
ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable"
looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory':
KERNELS=="memory"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""
ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline"
ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000"
ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example:
# udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0':
KERNEL=="cpu0"
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu"
DRIVER=="processor"
ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600"
ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368"
ATTR{online}=="1"
looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu':
KERNELS=="cpu"
SUBSYSTEMS==""
DRIVERS==""
ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
ATTRS{isolated}==""
ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191"
ATTRS{nohz_full}==" (null)"
ATTRS{offline}=="4-7"
ATTRS{online}=="0-3"
ATTRS{possible}=="0-7"
ATTRS{present}=="0-3"
With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently
instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels
configured with crash hotplug support.
For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL
system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file):
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if
crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated
unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped.
CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options. If an architecture
supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the
/sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but
the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be
present. Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot
un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus
allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the
unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

There are many files in mm/ that contain kernel-doc which is not

Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with

While workqueue.default_affinity_scope is writable, it only affects
workqueues which are created afterwards and isn't very useful. Instead,
let's introduce explicit "default" scope and update the effective scope
dynamically when workqueue.default_affinity_scope is changed.

With affinity scopes and their strictness setting added, unbound workqueues
should now be able to cover wide variety of configurations and use cases.
Unfortunately, the performance picture is not entirely straight-forward due
to a trade-off between efficiency and work-conservation in some situations
necessitating manual configuration.
This patch adds "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to
Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst which illustrates the trade-off with a
set of experiments and provides some guidelines.

An unbound workqueue can be served by multiple worker_pools to improve
locality. The segmentation is achieved by grouping CPUs into pods. By
default, the cache boundaries according to cpus_share_cache() define the
CPUs are grouped. Let's a workqueue is allowed to run on all CPUs and the
system has two L3 caches. The workqueue would be mapped to two worker_pools
each serving one L3 cache domains.
While this improves locality, because the pod boundaries are strict, it
limits the total bandwidth a given issuer can consume. For example, let's
say there is a thread pinned to a CPU issuing enough work items to saturate
the whole machine. With the machine segmented into two pods, no matter how
many work items it issues, it can only use half of the CPUs on the system.
While this limitation has existed for a very long time, it wasn't very
pronounced because the affinity grouping used to be always by NUMA nodes.
With cache boundaries as the default and support for even finer grained
scopes (smt and cpu), it is now an a lot more pressing problem.
This patch implements non-strict affinity scope where the pod boundaries
aren't enforced strictly. Going back to the previous example, the workqueue
would still be mapped to two worker_pools; however, the affinity enforcement
would be soft. The workers in both pools would have their cpus_allowed set
to the whole machine thus allowing the scheduler to migrate them anywhere on
the machine. However, whenever an idle worker is woken up, the workqueue
code asks the scheduler to bring back the task within the pod if the worker
is outside. ie. work items start executing within its affinity scope but can
be migrated outside as the scheduler sees fit. This removes the hard cap on
utilization while maintaining the benefits of affinity scopes.
After the earlier ->__pod_cpumask changes, the implementation is pretty
simple. When non-strict which is the new default:
* pool_allowed_cpus() returns @pool->attrs->cpumask instead of
->__pod_cpumask so that the workers are allowed to run on any CPU that
the associated workqueues allow.
* If the idle worker task's ->wake_cpu is outside the pod, kick_pool() sets
the field to a CPU within the pod.
This would be the first use of task_struct->wake_cpu outside scheduler
proper, so it isn't clear whether this would be acceptable. However, other
methods of migrating tasks are significantly more expensive and are likely
prohibitively so if we want to do this on every work item. This needs
discussion with scheduler folks.
There is also a race window where setting ->wake_cpu wouldn't be effective
as the target task is still on CPU. However, the window is pretty small and
this being a best-effort optimization, it doesn't seem to warrant more
complexity at the moment.
While the non-strict cache affinity scopes seem to be the best option, the
performance picture interacts with the affinity scope and is a bit
complicated to fully discuss in this patch, so the behavior is made easily
selectable through wqattrs and sysfs and the next patch will add
documentation to discuss performance implications.
v2: pool->attrs->affn_strict is set to true for per-cpu worker_pools.

Add three more affinity scopes - WQ_AFFN_CPU, SMT and CACHE - and make CACHE
the default. The code changes to actually add the additional scopes are
trivial.
Also add module parameter "workqueue.default_affinity_scope" to override the
default scope and "affinity_scope" sysfs file to configure it per workqueue.
wq_dump.py and documentations are updated accordingly.
This enables significant flexibility in configuring how unbound workqueues
behave. If affinity scope is set to "cpu", it'll behave close to a per-cpu
workqueue. On the other hand, "system" removes all locality boundaries.
Many modern machines have multiple L3 caches often while being mostly
uniform in terms of memory access. Thus, workqueue's previous behavior of
spreading work items in each NUMA node had negative performance implications
from unncessarily crossing L3 boundaries between issue and execution.
However, picking a finer grained affinity scope also has a downside in that
an issuer in one group can't utilize CPUs in other groups.
While dependent on the specifics of workload, there's usually a noticeable
penalty in crossing L3 boundaries, so let's default to CACHE. This issue
will be further addressed and documented with examples in future patches.

Lack of visibility has always been a pain point for workqueues. While the
recently added wq_monitor.py improved the situation, it's still difficult to
understand what worker pools are active in the system, how workqueues map to
them and why. The lack of visibility into how workqueues are configured is
going to become more noticeable as workqueue improves locality awareness and
provides more mechanisms to customize locality related behaviors.
Now that the basic framework for more flexible locality support is in place,
this is a good time to improve the situation. This patch adds
tools/workqueues/wq_dump.py which prints out the topology configuration,
worker pools and how workqueues are mapped to pools. Read the command's help
message for more details.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
A pwq (pool_workqueue) represents an association between a workqueue and a
worker_pool. When a work item is queued, the workqueue selects the pwq to
use, which in turn determines the pool, and queues the work item to the pool
through the pwq. pwq is also what implements the maximum concurrency limit -
@max_active.
As a per-cpu workqueue should be assocaited with a different worker_pool on
each CPU, it always had per-cpu pwq's that are accessed through wq->cpu_pwq.
However, unbound workqueues were sharing a pwq within each NUMA node by
default. The sharing has several downsides:
* Because @max_active is per-pwq, the meaning of @max_active changes
depending on the machine configuration and whether workqueue NUMA locality
support is enabled.
* Makes per-cpu and unbound code deviate.
* Gets in the way of making workqueue CPU locality awareness more flexible.
This patch makes unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwq's the same way per-cpu
workqueues do by making the following changes:
* wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] is removed and unbound workqueues now use wq->cpu_pwq
just like per-cpu workqueues. wq->cpu_pwq is now RCU protected for unbound
workqueues.
* numa_pwq_tbl_install() is renamed to install_unbound_pwq() and installs
the specified pwq to the target CPU's wq->cpu_pwq.
* apply_wqattrs_prepare() now always allocates a separate pwq for each CPU
unless the workqueue is ordered. If ordered, all CPUs use wq->dfl_pwq.
This makes the return value of wq_calc_node_cpumask() unnecessary. It now
returns void.
* @max_active now means the same thing for both per-cpu and unbound
workqueues. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE now equals WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and
documentation is updated accordingly. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE is no longer
used in workqueue implementation and will be removed later.
* All unbound pwq operations which used to be per-numa-node are now per-cpu.
For most unbound workqueue users, this shouldn't cause noticeable changes.
Work item issue and completion will be a small bit faster, flush_workqueue()
would become a bit more expensive, and the total concurrency limit would
likely become higher. All @max_active==1 use cases are currently being
audited for conversion into alloc_ordered_workqueue() and they shouldn't be
affected once the audit and conversion is complete.
One area where the behavior change may be more noticeable is
workqueue_congested() as the reported congestion state is now per CPU
instead of NUMA node. There are only two users of this interface -
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 and net/smc. Maintainers of both subsystems are
cc'd. Inputs on the behavior change would be very much appreciated.

once per 32 callbacks due to its high overhead.)
- Stop rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() from using never-onlined CPUs, which
fixes a bug that can occur on systems with non-contiguous CPU
numbering.

- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten
the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the
VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on
x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on
the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come
up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining
procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism
into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which
needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low
level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel
up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in
theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be
justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the
first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of
the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms
to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode
patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce
the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU
bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate
the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows to measure
IPI delivery time precisely.

Now that wq_worker_tick() is there, we can easily track the rough CPU time
consumption of each workqueue by charging the whole tick whenever a tick
hits an active workqueue. While not super accurate, it provides reasonable
visibility into the workqueues that consume a lot of CPU cycles.
wq_monitor.py is updated to report the per-workqueue CPU times.
v2: wq_monitor.py was using "cputime" as the key when outputting in json
format. Use "cpu_time" instead for consistency with other fields.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
If a per-cpu work item hogs the CPU, it can prevent other work items from
starting through concurrency management. A per-cpu workqueue which intends
to host such CPU-hogging work items can choose to not participate in
concurrency management by setting %WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; however, this can be
error-prone and difficult to debug when missed.
This patch adds an automatic CPU usage based detection. If a
concurrency-managed work item consumes more CPU time than the threshold
(10ms by default) continuously without intervening sleeps, wq_worker_tick()
which is called from scheduler_tick() will detect the condition and
automatically mark it CPU_INTENSIVE.
The mechanism isn't foolproof:
* Detection depends on tick hitting the work item. Getting preempted at the
right timings may allow a violating work item to evade detection at least
temporarily.
* nohz_full CPUs may not be running ticks and thus can fail detection.
* Even when detection is working, the 10ms detection delays can add up if
many CPU-hogging work items are queued at the same time.
However, in vast majority of cases, this should be able to detect violations
reliably and provide reasonable protection with a small increase in code
complexity.
If some work items trigger this condition repeatedly, the bigger problem
likely is the CPU being saturated with such per-cpu work items and the
solution would be making them UNBOUND. The next patch will add a debug
mechanism to help spot such cases.
v4: Documentation for workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us added to
kernel-parameters.txt.
v3: Switch to use wq_worker_tick() instead of hooking into preemptions as
suggested by Peter.
v2: Lai pointed out that wq_worker_stopping() also needs to be called from
preemption and rtlock paths and an earlier patch was updated
accordingly. This patch adds a comment describing the risk of infinte
recursions and how they're avoided.

Currently, the only way to peer into workqueue operations is through
tracing. While possible, it isn't easy or convenient to monitor
per-workqueue behaviors over time this way. Let's add pwq->stats[] that
track relevant events and a drgn monitoring script -
tools/workqueue/wq_monitor.py.
It's arguable whether this needs to be configurable. However, it currently
only has several counters and the runtime overhead shouldn't be noticeable
given that they're on pwq's which are per-cpu on per-cpu workqueues and
per-numa-node on unbound ones. Let's keep it simple for the time being.
v2: Patch reordered to earlier with fewer fields. Field will be added back
gradually. Help message improved.

physical hotplug of CPU0:
"We'll change this code in the future to wake up hard offlined CPU0 if
real platform and request are available."
11 years later this has not happened and physical hotplug is not officially
supported. Remove the cruft.

The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead.

Merge tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
"The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
everyone and we can proceed.
Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
necessary anymore.
Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"

Loading modules with finit_module() can end up using vmalloc(), vmap()
and vmalloc() again, for a total of up to 3 separate allocations in the
worst case for a single module. We always kernel_read*() the module,
that's a vmalloc(). Then vmap() is used for the module decompression,
and if so the last read buffer is freed as we use the now decompressed
module buffer to stuff data into our copy module. The last allocation is
specific to each architectures but pretty much that's generally a series
of vmalloc() calls or a variation of vmalloc to handle ELF sections with
special permissions.
Evaluation with new stress-ng module support [1] with just 100 ops
is proving that you can end up using GiBs of data easily even with all
care we have in the kernel and userspace today in trying to not load modules
which are already loaded. 100 ops seems to resemble the sort of pressure a
system with about 400 CPUs can create on module loading. Although issues
relating to duplicate module requests due to each CPU inucurring a new
module reuest is silly and some of these are being fixed, we currently lack
proper tooling to help diagnose easily what happened, when it happened
and who likely is to blame -- userspace or kernel module autoloading.
Provide an initial set of stats which use debugfs to let us easily scrape
post-boot information about failed loads. This sort of information can
be used on production worklaods to try to optimize *avoiding* redundant
memory pressure using finit_module().
There's a few examples that can be provided:
A 255 vCPU system without the next patch in this series applied:
Startup finished in 19.143s (kernel) + 7.078s (userspace) = 26.221s
graphical.target reached after 6.988s in userspace
And 13.58 GiB of virtual memory space lost due to failed module loading:

The following screen shot, of a simple 8vcpu 8 GiB KVM guest with the
next patch in this series applied, shows 226.53 MiB are wasted in virtual
memory allocations which due to duplicate module requests during boot.
It also shows an average module memory size of 167.10 KiB and an an
average module .text + .init.text size of 61.13 KiB. The end shows all
modules which were detected as duplicate requests and whether or not
they failed early after just the first kernel_read*() call or late after
we've already allocated the private space for the module in
layout_and_allocate(). A system with module decompression would reveal
more wasted virtual memory space.
We should put effort now into identifying the source of these duplicate
module requests and trimming these down as much possible. Larger systems
will obviously show much more wasted virtual memory allocations.

This will make it easier to free objects in situations when they can
come from either kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc(), and also allow
kfree_rcu() for freeing objects from kmem_cache_alloc().
For the SLAB and SLUB allocators this was always possible so with SLOB
gone, we can document it as supported.

%pGp format is used to display 'flags' field of a struct page. However,
some page flags (i.e. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details) are
stored in page_type field. To display human-readable output of page_type,
introduce %pGt format.
It is important to note the meaning of bits are different in page_type.
if page_type is 0xffffffff, no flags are set. Setting PG_buddy
(0x00000080) flag results in a page_type of 0xffffff7f. Clearing a bit
actually means setting a flag. Bits in page_type are inverted when
displaying type names.
Only values for which page_type_has_type() returns true are considered as
page_type, to avoid confusion with mapcount values. if it returns false,
only raw values are displayed and not page type names.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

- Core:
- The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:
Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and the
work arms the timer.
What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown
timer. Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
functional.
The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync() should
be:
- timer is not enqueued
- timer callback is not running
- timer cannot be rearmed
Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding rearm
attempts silently. A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a
shutdown timer is detected would not be really helpful because it's
entirely unclear how it should be acted upon. The only way to address
such a case is to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the
place. This is error prone and in most cases of teardown not required
all.
- The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
timer_shutdown_sync().
A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
progress.
- Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions
- Small fixes for timer and timerqueue
- Drivers:
- Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
an never ending interrupt storm.
- The usual set of new device tree bindings
- Small fixes and improvements all over the place

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:
Core:
- The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:
Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
the work arms the timer.
What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
functional.
The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
should be:
- timer is not enqueued
- timer callback is not running
- timer cannot be rearmed
Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
rearm attempts silently.
A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.
- The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
timer_shutdown_sync().
A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
progress.
- Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions
- Small fixes for timer and timerqueue
Drivers:
- Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
an never ending interrupt storm.
- The usual set of new device tree bindings
- Small fixes and improvements all over the place"

In order to make sure that a timer is not re-armed after it is stopped
before freeing, a new shutdown state is added to the timer code. The API
timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown() must be called before the
object that holds the timer can be freed.
Update the documentation to reflect this new workflow.

Fix the kernel-doc markings for div64 functions to point to the header
file instead of the lib/ directory. This avoids having implementation
specific comments in generic documentation. Furthermore, given that
some kernel-doc comments are identical, drop them from lib/math64 and
only keep there comments that add implementation details.

While there were varying degrees of kern-doc for various str*()-family
functions, many needed updating and clarification, or to just be
entirely written. Update (and relocate) existing kern-doc and add missing
functions, sadly shaking my head at how many times I have written "Do
not use this function". Include the results in the core kernel API doc.

The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
- Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
- Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
- Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
- Rust kernel documentation and samples
Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the

This patch adds a format specifier `%pA` to `vsprintf` which formats
a pointer as `core::fmt::Arguments`. Doing so allows us to directly
format to the internal buffer of `printf`, so we do not have to use
a temporary buffer on the stack to pre-assemble the message on
the Rust side.

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
Davidlor said
: Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for
: more from this series wrt the MM - albeit there seems to still be some
: folks reporting breakage. Fundamentally I see Liam's work to (re)move
: complexity out of the MM (not to say that the actual maple tree is not
: complex) by consolidating the three complimentary data structures very
: much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very
: much a turn off with the range locking approach, which worst case scenario
: incurred in prohibitive overhead. Also as Liam and Matthew have
: mentioned, RCU opens up a lot of nice performance opportunities, and in
: addition academia[1] has shown outstanding scalability of address spaces
: with the foundation of replacing the locked rbtree with RCU aware trees.
A similar work has been discovered in the academic press
https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/rcuvm:asplos12.pdf
Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.

Streaming DMA mapping involving an IOMMU may be much slower for larger
total mapping size. This is because every IOMMU DMA mapping requires an
IOVA to be allocated and freed. IOVA sizes above a certain limit are not
cached, which can have a big impact on DMA mapping performance.
Provide an API for device drivers to know this "optimal" limit, such that
they may try to produce mapping which don't exceed it.

All architecture-independent users of virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt()
have been fixed to use the dma mapping interfaces or have been
removed now. This means the definitions on most architectures, and the
CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS symbol are now obsolete and can be removed.
The only exceptions to this are a few network and scsi drivers for m68k
Amiga and VME machines and ppc32 Macintosh. These drivers work correctly
with the old interfaces and are probably not worth changing.
On alpha and parisc, virt_to_bus() were still used in asm/floppy.h.
alpha can use isa_virt_to_bus() like x86 does, and parisc can just
open-code the virt_to_phys() here, as this is architecture specific
code.
I tried updating the bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst documentation, which
started as an email from Linus to explain some details of the Linux-2.0
driver interfaces. The bits about virt_to_bus() were declared obsolete
backin 2000, and the rest is not all that relevant any more, so in the
end I just decided to remove the file completely.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
kthreads.
It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is
printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems
with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces.
It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when
messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled
consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even
with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the
amount of messages and the speed of all consoles.
It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might
break latency guarantees.
The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own
speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And
printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths.
There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or
not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these
situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle
consoles immediately.
- Add documentation for the printk index.

Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel
tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate
timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI
as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the
network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes
very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application
traces.
Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the
monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast
boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by
setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of
offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal
with it in post processing.
An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64
member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is
designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new
member would violate this constraint.

Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert
in bddac7c1e0), and that a partial revert that only reverts the
problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably
better. 
And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr
Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long
discussion.
So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab ("swiotlb:
rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only
revert the part that caused problems.

This reverts commit aa6f8dcbab.
It turns out this breaks at least the ath9k wireless driver, and
possibly others.
What the ath9k driver does on packet receive is to set up the DMA
transfer with:
int ath_rx_init(..)
..
bf->bf_buf_addr = dma_map_single(sc->dev, skb->data,
common->rx_bufsize,
DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
and then the receive logic (through ath_rx_tasklet()) will fetch
incoming packets
static bool ath_edma_get_buffers(..)
..
dma_sync_single_for_cpu(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr,
common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
ret = ath9k_hw_process_rxdesc_edma(ah, rs, skb->data);
if (ret == -EINPROGRESS) {
/*let device gain the buffer again*/
dma_sync_single_for_device(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr,
common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
return false;
}
and it's worth noting how that first DMA sync:
dma_sync_single_for_cpu(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
is there to make sure the CPU can read the DMA buffer (possibly by
copying it from the bounce buffer area, or by doing some cache flush).
The iommu correctly turns that into a "copy from bounce bufer" so that
the driver can look at the state of the packets.
In the meantime, the device may continue to write to the DMA buffer, but
we at least have a snapshot of the state due to that first DMA sync.
But that _second_ DMA sync:
dma_sync_single_for_device(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
is telling the DMA mapping that the CPU wasn't interested in the area
because the packet wasn't there. In the case of a DMA bounce buffer,
that is a no-op.
Note how it's not a sync for the CPU (the "for_device()" part), and it's
not a sync for data written by the CPU (the "DMA_FROM_DEVICE" part).
Or rather, it _should_ be a no-op. That's what commit aa6f8dcbab
broke: it made the code bounce the buffer unconditionally, and changed
the DMA_FROM_DEVICE to just unconditionally and illogically be
DMA_TO_DEVICE.
[ Side note: purely within the confines of the swiotlb driver it wasn't
entirely illogical: The reason it did that odd DMA_FROM_DEVICE ->
DMA_TO_DEVICE conversion thing is because inside the swiotlb driver,
it uses just a swiotlb_bounce() helper that doesn't care about the
whole distinction of who the sync is for - only which direction to
bounce.
So it took the "sync for device" to mean that the CPU must have been
the one writing, and thought it meant DMA_TO_DEVICE. ]
Also note how the commentary in that commit was wrong, probably due to
that whole confusion, claiming that the commit makes the swiotlb code
"bounce unconditionally (that is, also
when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale
data from the swiotlb buffer"
which is nonsensical for two reasons:
- that "also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE" is nonsensical, as that was
exactly when it always did - and should do - the bounce.
- since this is a sync for the device (not for the CPU), we're clearly
fundamentally not coping back stale data from the bounce buffers at
all, because we'd be copying *to* the bounce buffers.
So that commit was just very confused. It confused the direction of the
synchronization (to the device, not the cpu) with the direction of the
DMA (from the device).

Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code
to make it fit this documentation.
The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any
request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller
will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the
async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead
Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and
page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync
and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra()
request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all
synchronous.
When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the
implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though
the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

Move compound_pincount from the third page to the second page, which
means it's available for all compound pages. That lets us delete
hpage_pincount_available().
On 32-bit systems, there isn't enough space for both compound_pincount
and compound_nr in the second page (it would collide with page->private,
which is in use for pages in the swap cache), so revert the optimisation
of storing both compound_order and compound_nr on 32-bit systems.

Unfortunately, we ended up merging an old version of the patch "fix info
leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" instead of merging the latest one. Christoph
(the swiotlb maintainer), he asked me to create an incremental fix
(after I have pointed this out the mix up, and asked him for guidance).
So here we go.
The main differences between what we got and what was agreed are:
* swiotlb_sync_single_for_device is also required to do an extra bounce
* We decided not to introduce DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE until we have exploiters
* The implantation of DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE is flawed: DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE
must take precedence over DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
Thus this patch removes DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE, and makes
swiotlb_sync_single_for_device() bounce unconditionally (that is, also
when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale
data from the swiotlb buffer.
Let me note, that if the size used with dma_sync_* API is less than the
size used with dma_[un]map_*, under certain circumstances we may still
end up with swiotlb not being transparent. In that sense, this is no
perfect fix either.
To get this bullet proof, we would have to bounce the entire
mapping/bounce buffer. For that we would have to figure out the starting
address, and the size of the mapping in
swiotlb_sync_single_for_device(). While this does seem possible, there
seems to be no firm consensus on how things are supposed to work.
