1812062790 lib/plist.c: replace pr_debug with printk in plist_test()
Replace pr_debug() in lib/plist.c test function plist_test() with
printk(KERN_DEBUG ...).

Without DEBUG defined, pr_debug() is complied out, but the entire
plist_test() function is already inside CONFIG_DEBUG_PI_LIST, so printk
should just be used directly.

0046dd9fed lib/string.c: use the name "C-string" in comments
For strncpy() and friends the source string may or may not have an actual
NUL character at the end.  The documentation is confusing in this because
it specifically mentions that you are passing a "NUL-terminated" string.
Wikipedia says that "C-string" is an alternative name we can use instead.

a8fe19ebfb kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console loglevels
... instead of naked numbers.

Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.

Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

84b5ec8a9d printk: report dropping of messages from logbuf
If the log ring buffer becomes full, we silently overwrite old messages
with new data.  console_unlock will detect this case and fast-forward the
console_* pointers to skip over the corrupted data, but nothing will be
reported to the user.

This patch hijacks the first valid log message after detecting that we
dropped messages and prefixes it with a note detailing how many messages
were dropped.  For long (~1000 char) messages, this will result in some
truncation of the real message, but given that we're dropping things
anyway, that doesn't seem to be the end of the world.

6e099f557d Documentation: expand/clarify debug documentation
The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal
pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while
the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set.  This isn't obvious, and the only way to
find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read
CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact.

Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and
related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX()
macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug
printing methods might be used.

Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that
while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

6d9bcb621b timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlock
Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock
possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping
seqlock.

This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can
cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read
the time.

Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is:
  printk
    vprintk_emit
      console_unlock
        up(&console_sem)
          __up
	    wake_up_process
	      try_to_wake_up
	        ttwu_do_activate
		  ttwu_activate
		    activate_task
		      enqueue_task
		        enqueue_task_fair
			  hrtick_update
			    hrtick_start_fair
			      hrtick_start_fair
			        get_time
				  ktime_get
				    --> endless loop on
				    read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...)

This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously
named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.

458df9fd48 printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead
To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler,
printk_sched() was created.  The issue is that printk has a console_sem
that it can grab and release.  The release does a wake up if there's a
task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is
held in the scheduler.  This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up
uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already.

What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer
and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag.  On a timer tick, if this flag is
set, the printk() is done against the buffer.

There's a couple of issues with this approach.

1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one
   will overwrite the first one.

2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu.  This is a quite a
   bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used.

In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer
instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued
work.

Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the
logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the
scheduler functions, which includes wake ups.  Unfortunately, printk()
also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem)
may do a wake up of any pending waiters.  This must be avoided while
holding the logbuf_lock.

939f04bec1 printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk()
only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for
other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and
deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use
down_trylock()).  However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to
run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in
can_use_console().

We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in
vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH
it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock()
especially since later in the patch series we will want to spin on
console_sem in console_trylock_for_printk().

608873cacb printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering
console_trylock_for_printk().

The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem)
and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock.  So lockbuf_lock
isn't needed for that branch.  When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of
console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it
from other places), and the only remaining thing in
console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call.  For that call
console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME
flag).

So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which
simplifies the code.

ca1d432ad8 printk: remove outdated comment
Comment about interesting interlocking between lockbuf_lock and
console_sem is outdated.

It was added in 2002 by commit a880f45a48be during conversion of
console_lock to console_sem + lockbuf_lock.

At that time release_console_sem() (today's equivalent is
console_unlock()) was indeed using lockbuf_lock to avoid races between
trylock on console_sem in printk() and unlock of console_sem.  However
these days the interlocking is gone and the races are avoided by
rechecking logbuf state after releasing console_sem.

034633ccb2 printk: return really stored message length
I wonder if anyone uses printk return value but it is there and should be
counted correctly.

This patch modifies log_store() to return the number of really stored
bytes from the 'text' part.  Also it handles the return value in
vprintk_emit().

Note that log_store() is used also in cont_flush() but we could ignore the
return value there.  The function works with characters that were already
counted earlier.  In addition, the store could newer fail here because the
length of the printed text is limited by the "cont" buffer and "dict" is
NULL.

55bd53a4eb printk: shrink too long messages
We might want to print at least part of too long messages and add some
warning for debugging purpose.

The question is how long the shrunken message should be.  If we use the
whole buffer, it might get rotated too soon.  Let's try to use only 1/4 of
the buffer for now.

Also shrink the whole dictionary.  We do not want to parse it or break it
in the middle of some pair of values.  It would not cause any real harm
but still.

The side effect of setting "pad_len" is not nice but it is worth removing

this function when handling messages safe way in NMI context.

f40e4b9f70 printk: ignore too long messages
There was no check for too long messages.  The check for free space always
passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal.  Enough free space was not
guaranteed, though.

log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B.
This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the
structure printk_log.

On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is
4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig.

The good news is that the usage looks safe right now.  log_store() is
called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush().  Here the "text" part is
always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to
LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024.  The "dict" part is NULL in most cases.  The
only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and
dev_vprintk_emit().  But printk_emit() is currently used only in
devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well.  In dev_vprintk_emit(),
"dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes.  It
meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it
always fit the log buffer.

But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe
parameters, especially the "dict" one.

This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty.  It
reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an
extra parameter.  It defines whether the buffer is empty.  Note that the
same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer
is full.

If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the
indexes.  We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer.  Otherwise,
the functions reading the buffer would get crazy.

The question is what to do when the message is too long.  This patch uses
the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message.  Let's do
something better in a followup patch.

0a581694ab printk: split code for making free space in the log buffer
The check for free space in the log buffer always passes when "first_seq"
and "next_seq" are equal.  In theory, it might cause writing outside of
the log buffer.

Fortunately, the current usage looks safe because the used "text" and
"dict" buffers are quite limited.  See the second patch for more details.

Anyway, it is better to be on the safe side and add a check.  An easy
solution is done in the 2nd patch and it is improved in the 4th patch.

5th patch fixes the computation of the printed message length.

1st and 3rd patches just do some code refactoring to make the other
patches easier.

This patch (of 5):

There will be needed some fixes in the check for free space.  They will be
easier if the code is moved outside of the quite long log_store()
function.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

2c0d259e0e compiler.h: avoid sparse errors in __compiletime_error_fallback()
Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but recently
compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now results in a
sparse warning every time it is used.

The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse no
longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a warning and
an error.  The error is the more annoying part of this as it suppresses
any further warnings in the same file, hiding other problems.

Unfortunately the condition cannot be simply expanded out to avoid the
temporary variable since it breaks compiletime_assert on old versions of
GCC such as GCC 4.2.4 which the latest metag compiler is based on.

Therefore #ifndef __CHECKER__ out the __compiletime_error_fallback which
uses the potentially negative size array to trigger a conditional compiler
error, so that sparse doesn't see it.

zsmalloc needs exported unmap_kernel_range for building as a module.  See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/18/487

I didn't send a patch to make unmap_kernel_range exportable at that time
because zram was staging stuff and I thought VM function exporting for
staging stuff makes no sense.

Now zsmalloc was promoted.  If we can't build zsmalloc as module, it means
we can't build zram as module, either.  Additionally, buddy map_vm_area is
already exported so let's export unmap_kernel_range to help his buddy.

38515c7339 zram: correct offset usage in zram_bio_discard
We want to skip the physical block(PAGE_SIZE) which is partially covered
by the discard bio, so we check the remaining size and subtract it if
there is a need to goto the next physical block.

The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will cause
its upper filesystem breakdown.  Consider the following scenario:

On some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example, filesystem
is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned, a discard bio leads to a
offset = 4K and size=72K, normally, it should not really discard any
physical block as it partially cover two physical blocks.  However, with
the current offset usage, it will discard the second physical block and
free its memory, which will cause filesystem breakdown.

This patch corrects the offset usage in zram_bio_discard.

2a7a0e0fdc mm, memcg: periodically schedule when emptying page list
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can iterate a large number of pages on an
lru and mem_cgroup_move_parent() doesn't return an errno unless certain
criteria, none of which indicate that the iteration may be taking too
long, is met.

We have encountered the following stack trace many times indicating
"need_resched set for > 51000020 ns (51 ticks) without schedule", for
example:

	scheduler_tick()
	<timer irq>
	mem_cgroup_move_account+0x4d/0x1d5
	mem_cgroup_move_parent+0x8d/0x109
	mem_cgroup_reparent_charges+0x149/0x2ba
	mem_cgroup_css_offline+0xeb/0x11b
	cgroup_offline_fn+0x68/0x16b
	process_one_work+0x129/0x350

If this iteration is taking too long, we still need to do cond_resched()
even when an individual page is not busy.

4a0da71b96 Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt: clarify vfs_cache_pressure description
Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of
vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it.

Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int?  a
percentage?  what the scale is?

As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance
degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously
high values - because they thought there is no downside to it.

Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a
percentage.  This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a
cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.

3ba08129e3 mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)
Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default.  And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.

So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler.  We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread.  If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.

Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.

No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.

Tony said:

: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

74614de17d mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED
When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported
an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not
want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS
handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that
they might never actually see.

task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks
whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with
"prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for
all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.

But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer.  The error is in the
execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.

Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

a70ffcac74 mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread
When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because
of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread.  Currently we fail to do that
if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process.
collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test:

	if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {

will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active
thread at this time).

We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the
process that collect_procs() said owned the page.  If so, we send the
SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).

Back then, the implementation of get_dirty_limits() is complicated and
