mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context

2020-10-01T15:36:34+00:00

commit c1d0da83358a2316d9be7f229f26126dbaa07468 upstream. Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3. Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff] In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs: $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the node1 and node2's directory. This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is raised: kernel BUG at /Users/laurent/src/linux-ppc/mm/memory_hotplug.c:1084!

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs. There are two issues here: (a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple links (b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system panic. To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series. Issue (b) will be addressed separately. This patch (of 2): The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time. Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.

arch/ia64: Restore arch-specific pgd_offset_k implementation

2020-08-26T09:49:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit bd05220c7be3356046861c317d9c287ca50445ba ] IA-64 is special and treats pgd_offset_k() differently to pgd_offset(), using different formulae to calculate the indices into the kernel and user PGDs. The index into the user PGDs takes into account the region number, but the index into the kernel (init_mm) PGD always assumes a predefined kernel region number. Commit 974b9b2c68f3 ("mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions") made IA-64 use a generic pgd_offset_k() which incorrectly used pgd_index() for kernel page tables. As a result, the index into the kernel PGD was going out of bounds and the kernel hung during early boot. Allow overrides of pgd_offset_k() and override it on IA-64 with the old implementation that will correctly index the kernel PGD.

Merge branch 'hch' (maccess patches from Christoph Hellwig)

2020-06-18T19:35:51+00:00

Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig: "Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as there were way to many conflicts. After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are resolved now" This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and 'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising. * emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig : maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault

maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility

2020-06-18T19:10:37+00:00

Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault() and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly dangerous. When you do get_user(val, user_ptr); the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above basically acts as val = *user_ptr; by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with a user access). Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as part of the assignment. So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both for the access itself. But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very differently. When you do get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr); it behaves like val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr; except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned as the error code. But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely. Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible with the type of the result. In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part. It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference is now obvious and explicit. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of copy_from_kernel_nofault. Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks like get_user(). Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ia64: kernel: unwind_i.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-06-16T04:08:31+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: fix broken builds because of GZIP,BZIP2,LZOP variables

2020-06-11T11:14:41+00:00

Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp. GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this, so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the compression tools.
