      arm64: cpufeature: Don't enforce system-wide SPE capability · f31deaad
      Will Deacon authored
      
      
      The statistical profiling extension (SPE) is an optional feature of
      ARMv8.1 and is unlikely to be supported by all of the CPUs in a
      heterogeneous system.
      
      This patch updates the cpufeature checks so that such systems are not
      tainted as unsupported.

      arm64: cpufeature: allow for version discrepancy in PMU implementations · b20d1ba3
      Will Deacon authored
      
      
      Perf already supports multiple PMU instances for heterogeneous systems,
      so there's no need to be strict in the cpufeature checking, particularly
      as the PMU extension is optional in the architecture.

      arm64: Remove useless UAO IPI and describe how this gets enabled · c8b06e3f
      James Morse authored
      Since its introduction, the UAO enable call was broken, and useless.
      commit 2a6dcb2b
      
       ("arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead
      of calling them via IPI"), fixed the framework so that these calls
      are scheduled, so that they can modify PSTATE.
      
      Now it is just useless. Remove it. UAO is enabled by the code patching
      which causes get_user() and friends to use the 'ldtr' family of
      instructions. This relies on the PSTATE.UAO bit being set to match
      addr_limit, which we do in uao_thread_switch() called via __switch_to().
      
      All that is needed to enable UAO is patch the code, and call schedule().
      __apply_alternatives_multi_stop() calls stop_machine() when it modifies
      the kernel text to enable the alternatives, (including the UAO code in
      uao_thread_switch()). Once stop_machine() has finished __switch_to() is
      called to reschedule the original task, this causes PSTATE.UAO to be set
      appropriately. An explicit enable() call is not needed.

      arm64: head.S: fix up stale comments · 510224c2
      Mark Rutland authored
      In commit 23c8a500
      
       ("arm64: kernel: use ordinary return/argument
      register for el2_setup()"), we stopped using w20 as a global stash of
      the boot mode flag, and instead pass this around in w0 as a function
      parameter.
      
      Unfortunately, we missed a couple of comments, which still refer to the
      old convention of using w20/x20.
      
      This patch fixes up the comments to describe the code as it currently
      works.

      arm64: add missing printk newlines · 117f5727
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      
      A few printk calls in arm64 omit a trailing newline, even though there
      is no subsequent KERN_CONT printk associated with them, and we actually
      want a newline.
      
      This can result in unrelated lines being appended, rather than appearing
      on a new line. Additionally, timestamp prefixes may appear in-line. This
      makes the logs harder to read than necessary.
      
      Avoid this by adding a trailing newline.
      
      These were found with a shortlist generated by:
      
      $ git grep 'pr\(intk\|_.*\)(.*)' -- arch/arm64 | grep -v pr_fmt | grep -v '\\n"'

      arm64: Don't trace __switch_to if function graph tracer is enabled · 8f4b326d
      Joel Fernandes authored
      
      
      Function graph tracer shows negative time (wrap around) when tracing
      __switch_to if the nosleep-time trace option is enabled.
      
      Time compensation for nosleep-time is done by an ftrace probe on
      sched_switch. This doesn't work well for the following events (with
      letters representing timestamps):
      A - sched switch probe called for task T switch out
      B - __switch_to calltime is recorded
      C - sched_switch probe called for task T switch in
      D - __switch_to rettime is recorded
      
      If C - A > D - B, then we end up over compensating for the time spent in
      __switch_to giving rise to negative times in the trace output.
      
      On x86, __switch_to is not traced if function graph tracer is enabled.
      Do the same for arm64 as well.

      mm: workingset: fix use-after-free in shadow node shrinker · ea07b862
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Several people report seeing warnings about inconsistent radix tree
      nodes followed by crashes in the workingset code, which all looked like
      use-after-free access from the shadow node shrinker.
      
      Dave Jones managed to reproduce the issue with a debug patch applied,
      which confirmed that the radix tree shrinking indeed frees shadow nodes
      while they are still linked to the shadow LRU:
      
        WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 53 at lib/radix-tree.c:643 delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
        CPU: 2 PID: 53 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc2-think+ #3
        Call Trace:
           delete_node+0x1e4/0x200
           __radix_tree_delete_node+0xd/0x10
           shadow_lru_isolate+0xe6/0x220
           __list_lru_walk_one.isra.4+0x9b/0x190
           list_lru_walk_one+0x23/0x30
           scan_shadow_nodes+0x2e/0x40
           shrink_slab.part.44+0x23d/0x5d0
           shrink_node+0x22c/0x330
           kswapd+0x392/0x8f0
      
      This is the WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&node->private_list)) placed in the
      inlined radix_tree_shrink().
      
      The problem is with 14b46879 ("mm: workingset: move shadow entry
      tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking"), which passes an update
      callback into the radix tree to link and unlink shadow leaf nodes when
      tree entries change, but forgot to pass the callback when reclaiming a
      shadow node.
      
      While the reclaimed shadow node itself is unlinked by the shrinker, its
      deletion from the tree can cause the left-most leaf node in the tree to
      be shrunk.  If that happens to be a shadow node as well, we don't unlink
      it from the LRU as we should.
      
      Consider this tree, where the s are shadow entries:
      
             root->rnode
                  |
             [0       n]
              |       |
           [s    ] [sssss]
      
      Now the shadow node shrinker reclaims the rightmost leaf node through
      the shadow node LRU:
      
             root->rnode
                  |
             [0        ]
              |
          [s     ]
      
      Because the parent of the deleted node is the first level below the
      root and has only one child in the left-most slot, the intermediate
      level is shrunk and the node containing the single shadow is put in
      its place:
      
             root->rnode
                  |
             [s        ]
      
      The shrinker again sees a single left-most slot in a first level node
      and thus decides to store the shadow in root->rnode directly and free
      the node - which is a leaf node on the shadow node LRU.
      
        root->rnode
             |
             s
      
      Without the update callback, the freed node remains on the shadow LRU,
      where it causes later shrinker runs to crash.
      
      Pass the node updater callback into __radix_tree_delete_node() in case
      the deletion causes the left-most branch in the tree to collapse too.
      
      Also add warnings when linked nodes are freed right away, rather than
      wait for the use-after-free when the list is scanned much later.
      
      Fixes: 14b46879

      mm: stop leaking PageTables · b0b9b3df
      Hugh Dickins authored
      4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
      "fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
      PageTables growing.
      
      Commit 953c66c2 ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
      merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
      after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().
      
      This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
      to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
      alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
      VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().
      
      Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
      to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
      cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).
      
      And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
      change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
      failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
      one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
      Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.
      
      Fixes: 953c66c2
