commit 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 upstream.
On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.
In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.
To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

commit ac5a2962b02f57dea76d314ef2521a2170b28ab6 upstream.
There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove
uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls
wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run
immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls
list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous
wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt.
The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.

commit a49b7e82cab0f9b41f483359be83f44fbb6b4979 upstream.
Anatol Pomozov identified a race condition that hits module unloading
and re-loading. To quote Anatol:
"This is a race codition that exists between kset_find_obj() and
kobject_put(). kset_find_obj() might return kobject that has refcount
equal to 0 if this kobject is freeing by kobject_put() in other
thread.
Here is timeline for the crash in case if kset_find_obj() searches for
an object tht nobody holds and other thread is doing kobject_put() on
the same kobject:
THREAD A (calls kset_find_obj()) THREAD B (calls kobject_put())
splin_lock()
atomic_dec_return(kobj->kref), counter gets zero here
... starts kobject cleanup ....
spin_lock() // WAIT thread A in kobj_kset_leave()
iterate over kset->list
atomic_inc(kobj->kref) (counter becomes 1)
spin_unlock()
spin_lock() // taken
// it does not know that thread A increased counter so it
remove obj from list
spin_unlock()
vfree(module) // frees module object with containing kobj
// kobj points to freed memory area!!
kobject_put(kobj) // OOPS!!!!
The race above happens because module.c tries to use kset_find_obj()
when somebody unloads module. The module.c code was introduced in
commit 6494a93d55fa"
Anatol supplied a patch specific for module.c that worked around the
problem by simply not using kset_find_obj() at all, but rather than make
a local band-aid, this just fixes kset_find_obj() to be thread-safe
using the proper model of refusing the get a new reference if the
refcount has already dropped to zero.
See examples of this proper refcount handling not only in the kref
documentation, but in various other equivalent uses of this pattern by
grepping for atomic_inc_not_zero().
[ Side note: the module race does indicate that module loading and
unloading is not properly serialized wrt sysfs information using the
module mutex. That may require further thought, but this is the
correct fix at the kobject layer regardless. ]

commit 6cdae7416a1c45c2ce105a78187d9b7e8feb9e24 upstream.
The iteration logic of idr_get_next() is borrowed mostly verbatim from
idr_for_each(). It walks down the tree looking for the slot matching
the current ID. If the matching slot is not found, the ID is
incremented by the distance of single slot at the given level and
repeats.
The implementation assumes that during the whole iteration id is aligned
to the layer boundaries of the level closest to the leaf, which is true
for all iterations starting from zero or an existing element and thus is
fine for idr_for_each().
However, idr_get_next() may be given any point and if the starting id
hits in the middle of a non-existent layer, increment to the next layer
will end up skipping the same offset into it. For example, an IDR with
IDs filled between [64, 127] would look like the following.
[ 0 64 ... ]
/----/ |
| |
NULL [ 64 ... 127 ]
If idr_get_next() is called with 63 as the starting point, it will try
to follow down the pointer from 0. As it is NULL, it will then try to
proceed to the next slot in the same level by adding the slot distance
at that level which is 64 - making the next try 127. It goes around the
loop and finds and returns 127 skipping [64, 126].
Note that this bug also triggers in idr_for_each_entry() loop which
deletes during iteration as deletions can make layers go away leaving
the iteration with unaligned ID into missing layers.
Fix it by ensuring proceeding to the next slot doesn't carry over the
unaligned offset - ie. use round_up(id + 1, slot_distance) instead of
id += slot_distance.

commit fcc16882ac4532aaa644bff444f0c5d6228ba71e upstream.
The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to implement
atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without support for atomic
64-bit instructions.
Unfortunately, the spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that
is too late for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64
operations before the initcall is run.
This became a problem as of commit 8823c079ba71: "vfs: Add setns support
for the mount namespace".
This leads to BUG messages such as:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0
lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0

vfs_caches_init+0xe0/0x10c
start_kernel+0x29c/0x300
coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.
Fix this by initializing the spinlocks statically at compile time.

commit eedce141cd2dad8d0cefc5468ef41898949a7031 upstream.
The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.
That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.
The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.
However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.
This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.
This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.
What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.
Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.
So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

commit cbf8ae32f66a9ceb8907ad9e16663c2a29e48990 upstream.
The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in
btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and
then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals
when we do eg
longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen);
to return the key value. What we should do instead is use longcpy() to
copy the key value that retry_key points to __key.
This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only
operations such as btree_for_each_safe.

At the start of the function we assign 'a->d' to 'ap'. Then we use the
RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro on 'a' - this may free 'a->d' and replace it
with newly allocaetd storage. In that case, we'll be operating on
freed memory further down in the function when we index into 'ap[]'.
Since we don't actually need 'ap' until after the use of the
RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro we can just delay the assignment to it until
after we've potentially resized, thus avoiding the issue.
While I was there anyway I also changed the integer variable 'n' to be
const. It might as well be since we only assign to it once and use it
as a constant, and then the compiler will tell us if we ever assign to
it in the future.

A series of radix tree cleanups, and usage of them in the core pagecache
code.
Micro-benchmark:
lookup 14 slots (typical page-vector size)
in radix-tree there earch <step> slot filled and tagged
before/after - nsec per full scan through tree
* Intel Sandy Bridge i7-2620M 4Mb L3
New code always faster
* AMD Athlon 6000+ 2x1Mb L2, without L3
New code generally faster,
Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees
* i386 on Sandy Bridge
New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.
Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero
long element in array, gcc sometimes cannot optimize this loop corretly.

This patch:
Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
Iterating divided into two phases:
* lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
* iterating through slots in this chunk
Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
elements.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

There are situations where CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM is too restrictive.
For example CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM depends on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM
but it works perfectly fine if an architecture without io memory
just includes asm-generic/io.h or implements everything defined in it.
UML is such a corner case.

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.
These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
"The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
<linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in
linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h
was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here
is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
$
$ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But
to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
areas in advance.

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.
- The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation

Add two changes that improve the performance of x86 systems
1. replace main loop with incrementing counter this change improves
the performance of the selftest by about 5-6% on Nehalem CPUs. The
apparent reason is that the compiler can use the loop index to perform
an indexed memory access. This is reported to make the performance of
PowerPC CPUs to get worse.
2. replace the rem_len loop with incrementing counter this change
improves the performance of the selftest, which has more than the usual
number of occurances, by about 1-2% on x86 CPUs. In actual work loads
the length is most often a multiple of 4 bytes and this code does not
get executed as often if at all. Again this change is reported to make
the performance of PowerPC get worse.

crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the
LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters
CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS.
In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected
versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a
time.
This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a
time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been
reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each
step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the
value 32.
This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes
the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm.

Misc cleanup of lib/crc32.c and related files.
- remove unnecessary header files.
- straighten out some convoluted ifdef's
- rewrite some references to 2 dimensional arrays as 1 dimensional
arrays to make them correct. I.e. replace tab[i] with tab[0][i].
- a few trivial whitespace changes
- fix a warning in gen_crc32tables.c caused by a mismatch in the type of
the pointer passed to output table. Since the table is only used at
kernel compile time, it is simpler to make the table big enough to hold
the largest column size used. One cannot make the column size smaller
in output_table because it has to be used by both the le and be tables
and they can have different column sizes.

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile
and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test
routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init
time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration
option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST.
The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic
since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at
least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the
performance is dominated by that loop.
The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the
original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8.
These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS
parameters in both the original and new versions.
The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite
of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by
limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to
analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small
sample of runs has been taken.

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out
a software crc32c implementation. It removes the crc32c implementation
in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/. There is also
a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an
implementation best suited for the hardware.
The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full
metadata checksumming to ext4. As far as performance impact of adding
checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server
ffsb simulation. On a test that involves only file creation and
deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with
the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of
about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code.
When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new
implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small
fraction of total IO. However, when we are doing IO that is almost all
metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the
operation substantially.
Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this
patchset should improve their speed as well. I have not yet quantified
that, however. This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late
August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set.
Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been
advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead. :/
Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on
a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms. The results can be
viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c"
columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and
crc32c software implementations. The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows
crc32c performance with this patchset applied. I expect crc32
performance to be roughly the same.
The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much
faster the new implementation is over the old one. As you can see, crc32
rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.
This patch:
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h

- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently
memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target
character. The operation can be done by more efficient way.
- Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned
memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as
much as possible. The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes()
that scans for each byte. Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is
unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned
to a 64-bit boundary.
Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.
