4dc7daf843 lib/scatterlist.c: fix kerneldoc for sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer()
The kerneldoc for the functions doesn't match the code; the last two
parameters (buflen, skip) have been transposed, which is confusing,
especially as they're both integral types and the compiler won't warn
about swapping them.

These functions and the kerneldoc were introduced in commit:
    df642cea lib/scatterlist: introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() ...
    Author: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>
    Date:   Mon Jul 8 16:01:54 2013 -0700

    The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
    sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that
    specifies the number of bytes to skip the SG list before
    copying.

The functions have the extra argument at the end, but the kerneldoc
lists it in penultimate position.

6157dbbfbf ipc,sysv: return -EINVAL upon incorrect id/seqnum
In ipc_obtain_object_check we return -EIDRM when a bogus sequence number
is detected via ipc_checkid, while the ipc manpages state the following
return codes for such errors:

   EIDRM  <ID> points to a removed identifier.
   EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.

EIDRM should only be returned upon a RMID call (->deleted check), and thus
return EINVAL for wrong seq.  This difference in semantics has also caused
real bugs, ie: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246509

f8b5918495 ipc,sysv: make return -EIDRM when racing with RMID consistent
The ipc_lock helper is used by all forms of sysv ipc to acquire the ipc
object's spinlock.  Upon error (bogus identifier), we always return
-EINVAL, whether the problem be in the idr path or because we raced with a
task performing RMID.  For the later, however, all ipc related manpages,
state the that for:

       EIDRM  <ID> points to a removed identifier.

And return:

       EINVAL Invalid <ID> value, or unaligned, etc.

Which (EINVAL) should only return once the ipc resource is deleted.  For
all types of ipc this is done immediately upon a RMID command.  However,
shared memory behaves slightly different as it can merely mark a segment
for deletion, and delay the actual freeing until there are no more active
consumers.  Per shmctl(IPC_RMID) manpage:

""
Mark  the  segment to be destroyed.  The segment will only actually
be destroyed after the last process detaches it (i.e., when the
shm_nattch member of the associated structure shmid_ds is zero).
""

Unlike ipc_lock, paths that behave "correctly", at least per the manpage,
involve controlling the ipc resource via *ctl(), doing the exact same
validity check as ipc_lock after right acquiring the spinlock:

	if (!ipc_valid_object()) {
		err = -EIDRM;
		goto out_unlock;
	}

Thus make ipc_lock consistent with the rest of ipc code and return -EIDRM
in ipc_lock when !ipc_valid_object().

ff35e5ef86 ipc,msg: provide barrier pairings for lockless receive
We currently use a full barrier on the sender side to to avoid receiver
tasks disappearing on us while still performing on the sender side wakeup.
 We lack however, the proper CPU-CPU interactions pairing on the receiver
side which busy-waits for the message.  Similarly, we do not need a full
smp_mb, and can relax the semantics for the writer and reader sides of the
message.  This is safe as we are only ordering loads and stores to r_msg.
And in both smp_wmb and smp_rmb, there are no stores after the calls
_anyway_.

This obviously applies for pipelined_send and expunge_all, for EIRDM when
destroying a queue.

92ed932d30 arc: use for_each_sg()
This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls.  Since arc doesn't
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in
order to loop over each sg element.  But this can help find problems with
drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

9ce71148b0 devpts: if initialization failed, don't crash when opening /dev/ptmx
If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global
devpts_mnt.  A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index,
which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash.

Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead.  Make
both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in
that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call
on /dev/ptmx.

3e44c471a2 gcov: add support for GCC 5.1
Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1.  Similar to commit a992bf836f
("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the
existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)

Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.

Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N
value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other
gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

5375b708f2 kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops path
Commit f06e5153f4 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.

The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
 If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.

To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
in the condition of kexec_should_crash().

Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things
on this patch.

f45d85ff1f kernel/panic: call the 2nd crash_kexec() only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled
For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153f4
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after
panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.

Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not
loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the
point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd
crash_kexec() does nothing.

a846f47962 x86/kexec: prepend elfcorehdr instead of appending it to the crash-kernel command-line.
Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be
parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init
process.

Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from
kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init
process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel
parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it
will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure!

Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since
it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a
kernel command-line parameter.

Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was
also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this
command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to
actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.

189f9841de fs: allocate structure unconditionally in seq_open()
Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a

        want and set ->private_data to it.  seq_open() will then abstain from
        doing allocation itself.

As there's no more use for such feature, as it could be easily replaced by
calls to seq_open_private() (see commit 39699037a5 ("[FS] seq_file:
Introduce the seq_open_private()")) and seq_release_private() (see
v2.6.0-test3), support for this uncommon feature can be removed from

ede1bf0dcf fs: use seq_open_private() for proc_mounts
A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to
seq_open().  Such feature is undocumented and prone to error.

In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will
kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open().

So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's
only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using
seq_open_private()/seq_release_private().

Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer
to struct seq_file by seq_open().

This patch (of 3):

Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a
struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the
structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function.

    Commit 1abe77b0fc

        want and set ->private_data to it.  seq_open() will then abstain from
        doing allocation itself.

Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common().

In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is
converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the
proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct
seq_file.

Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in
order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private().

Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access
to the proc_mounts structure.

0e1cc95b4c mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup
Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when
struct page initialisation was deferred.  One approach is to initialise
memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths.  This patch
creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup.  It
then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter
is overkill.  This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and
also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the
initialisation.

74033a798f mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_links
mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was
introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked.
Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was
spent on checking this for every page.  The cost could be reduced but in
practice this check only found problems very early during the
initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since.  This patch removes an
expensive unnecessary check.

7e18adb4f8 mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd
Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment.  When this
patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel.

This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and
initialising data that is local to the CPU.  The user-visible effect on
large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early
in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is
initialised in the kernel log.  Once initialised there should be no other
user-visibile effects.

__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as
memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory
initialisation is single-threaded.  Parallel initialisation of struct
pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early
in boot due to the use of a global static variable.  meminit_pfn_in_nid()
is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

8e7a7f8619 memblock: introduce a for_each_reserved_mem_region iterator
Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used.  This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.

After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine

[    7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[    7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[    7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[    7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms

On a 1TB machine, I see

[    8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[    8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[    8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[    8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms

Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again.  In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.

Nate Zimmer said:

: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.

Waiman Long said:

: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system.  From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).

Daniel Blueman said:

: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s.  This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset.  Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.

This patch (of 13):

As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.

This helper function will be used for that expansion.

Linus Torvalds
88793e5c77 The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core,
4 drivers / enabling modules:
 
 NFIT:
 Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
 (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
 table).  After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
 "region" devices.  A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
 boundaries of persistent memory media.  A region may span multiple
 NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller.  In
 turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
 bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
 (disk) interface to the memory.
 
 PMEM:
 Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
 memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
 the libnvdimm-core.  In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
 ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
 the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
 media.  See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
 
 BLK:
 This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
 Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference of this
 driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
 mapped into system address space at any given point in time.  Per-NVDIMM
 windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
 portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.
 
 BTT:
 This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
 converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
 update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).  The
 sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
 they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's disk's rarely
 ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
 on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently.  Until an
 application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
 the usage of BTT is recommended.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
 "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
  libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:

  NFIT:
    Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
    devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
    Interface table).

    After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
    devices.  A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
    boundaries of persistent memory media.  A region may span multiple
    NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller.  In
    turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
    bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
    device (disk) interface to the memory.

  PMEM:
    Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
    persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
    PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.

    In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
    that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
    through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
    See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().

  BLK:
    This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
    "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference
    of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
    memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
    time.

    Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
    different portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not
    support DAX.

  BTT:
    This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
    converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
    update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).

    The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
    not know they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's
    disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
    gets a CRC error on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always
    silently.  Until an application is audited to be robust in the
    presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.
