      sched/core: Force proper alignment of 'struct util_est' · 317d359d
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      For some as yet not understood reason, Tony gets unaligned access
      traps on IA64 because of:
      
        struct util_est ue = READ_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est);
      
      and:
      
        WRITE_ONCE(p->se.avg.util_est, ue);
      
      introduced by commit:
      
        d519329f
      
       ("sched/fair: Update util_est only on util_avg updates")
      
      Normally those two fields should end up on an 8-byte aligned location,
      but UP and RANDSTRUCT can mess that up so enforce the alignment
      explicitly.
      
      Also make the alignment on sched_avg unconditional, as it is really
      about data locality, not false-sharing.
      
      With or without this patch the layout for sched_avg on a
      ia64-defconfig build looks like:
      
      	$ pahole -EC sched_avg ia64-defconfig/kernel/sched/core.o
      	die__process_function: tag not supported (INVALID)!
      	struct sched_avg {
      		/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int     last_update_time;                   /*     0     8 */
      		/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int     load_sum;                           /*     8     8 */

      		long unsigned int          load_avg;                                             /*    32     8 */
      		long unsigned int          runnable_load_avg;                                    /*    40     8 */
      		long unsigned int          util_avg;                                             /*    48     8 */
      		struct util_est {
      			unsigned int       enqueued;                                             /*    56     4 */
      			unsigned int       ewma;                                                 /*    60     4 */
      		} util_est; /*    56     8 */

      sched/core: Simplify helpers for rq clock update skip requests · adcc8da8
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      
      
      By renaming the functions we can get rid of the skip parameter
      and have better code redability. It makes zero sense to have
      things such as:
      
        rq_clock_skip_update(rq, false)
      
      When the skip request is in fact not going to happen. Ever. Rename
      things such that we end up with:
      
        rq_clock_skip_update(rq)
        rq_clock_cancel_skipupdate(rq)

      sched/rt: Fix rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning · d29a2064

      While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat:
      
        rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP
        WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20

        secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0
      
      We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an
      update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq->lock in
      do_sched_rt_period_timer().
      
      The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits)
      can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and
      quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted).
      
      By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening
      or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
       "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
        Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
        compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
        syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
      
        At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
        v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
        better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
        there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
        which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
        means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
        specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
        filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
        time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
        x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
        future.
      
        Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
        data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
        generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
        code.
      
        This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
        kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
        three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
        kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

      bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems · 21035965
      Omar Sandoval authored
      Commit 2a98dc02 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
      bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
      bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
      constants aligned to a byte.
      
      This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
      long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory.  This was caught by the
      Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
      big-endian machine.
      
      We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
      unsigned long, so do that on big-endian.  The same problem applies to
      the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.
      
      Fixes: 2a98dc02 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")

      Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
       "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
        m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
        drivers.
      
        I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
        ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
        unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
        respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
        but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
      
        In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
        different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
        charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
        ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
        CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
        seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
        used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
        contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
        maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
      
        [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
          generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
          microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]
      
        The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
        https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
        marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
        made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
        mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
        kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
        releases.
      
        After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
        gcc support:
      
         - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
           maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
           in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
      
         - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
           their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
           place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
           degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
           Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
           will be similar
      
        [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
          since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"

      bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injection · c9a21195
      Howard McLauchlan authored
      
      
      Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel
      functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates
      appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can
      return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases
      flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space
      error paths effectively.
      
      The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a
      given pid:
      
      from bcc import BPF
      from sys import argv
      
      pid = argv[1]
      
      prog = r"""
      
      int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags)
      {
          u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
          if (pid == %s)
              bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
          return 0;
      }
      """ % pid
      
      b = BPF(text=prog)
      while 1:
          b.perf_buffer_poll()
      
      This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and
      COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not
      intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

      This keeps it in line with the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() / COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()

      kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entries · 70dd4b31
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      
      
      Shuffle the cond_syscall() entries in kernel/sys_ni.c around so that they
      are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. For
      better structuring, add the same comments as in that file, but keep a few
      additional comments and extend the commentary where it seems useful.

      syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypes · 3e2052e5
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      
      
      compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on
      x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not
      require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore,
      generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the
      COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from
      various header files.
