      s390: add a system call for guarded storage · 916cda1a
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      
      
      This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
      user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
      and pointer to a guarded storage control block:
      
          s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);
      
      The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.
      
      The commands in detail:
      
      0 - GS_ENABLE
          Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
          initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
          all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
          load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
          arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
          will save and restore the current content of the guarded
          storage registers on context switch.
      1 - GS_DISABLE
          Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
          task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
          the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
          these registers is lost.
      2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
          Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
          per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
          in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
          be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
      3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
          Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
          storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
          established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
      4 - GS_BROADCAST
          Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
          Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
          control block will load this control block and will be enabled
          for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
          is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
          control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

      mm, swap: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in free_swap_slot() · 093b995e
      Huang Ying authored
      Before commit 452b94b8 ("mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to
      uninitialized swap slot cache"), the following bug is reported,
      
        ------------[ cut here ]------------
        kernel BUG at mm/swap_slots.c:270!
        invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
        CPU: 5 PID: 1745 Comm: (sd-pam) Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1-00243-g24c534bb161b #1
        Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/Z170-K, BIOS 1803 05/06/2016
        RIP: 0010:free_swap_slot+0xba/0xd0
        Call Trace:
         swap_free+0x36/0x40
         do_swap_page+0x360/0x6d0
         __handle_mm_fault+0x880/0x1080

         page_fault+0x22/0x30
        ---[ end trace aefc9ede53e0ab21 ]---
      
      This is raised by the BUG_ON(!swap_slot_cache_initialized) in
      free_swap_slot().  This is incorrect, because even if the swap slots
      cache fails to be initialized, the swap should operate properly without
      the swap slots cache.  And the use_swap_slot_cache check later in the
      function will protect the uninitialized swap slots cache case.
      
      In commit 452b94b8
      
      , the BUG_ON() is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE().  In
      the patch, the WARN_ON_ONCE() is removed too.

      f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cache · 7041d5d2
      Chao Yu authored
      Both nat_bits cache and free_nid_bitmap cache provide same functionality
      as a intermediate cache between free nid cache and disk, but with
      different granularity of indicating free nid range, and different
      persistence policy. nat_bits cache provides better persistence ability,
      and free_nid_bitmap provides better granularity.
      
      In this patch we combine advantage of both caches, so finally policy of
      the intermediate cache would be:
      - init: load free nid status from nat_bits into free_nid_bitmap
      - lookup: scan free_nid_bitmap before load NAT blocks
      - update: update free_nid_bitmap in real-time
      - persistence: udpate and persist nat_bits in checkpoint
      
      This patch also resolves performance regression reported by lkp-robot.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.

      Pull device-dax fixes from Dan Williams:
       "The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to
        smaller fault-granularity sizes.
      
        The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the
        device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a
        larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the
        immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until
        fault-size == device-alignment.
      
        One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the
        original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in
        4.11-rc1) pud-to-pmd regression, and a typo fix comes along for the
        ride.
      
        These have received a build success notification from the kbuild
        robot"
