Patch series "signal: refactor some functions", v3.
This series refactors a bunch of functions in signal.c to simplify parts
of the code.
The greatest single change is declaring the static do_sigpending() helper
as void which makes it possible to remove a bunch of unnecessary checks in
the syscalls later on.
This patch (of 17):
force_sigsegv() returned 0 unconditionally so it doesn't make sense to have
it return at all. In addition, there are no callers that check
force_sigsegv()'s return value.

The userspace automount(8) daemon is meant to perform a forced expire when
sent a SIGUSR2.
But since the expiration is routed through the kernel and the kernel
doesn't send an expire request if the mount is busy this hasn't worked at
least since autofs version 5.
Add an AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag to allow implemention of the feature and
bump the protocol version so user space can check if it's implemented if
needed.

Patch series "add crc64 calculation as kernel library", v5.
This patchset adds basic implementation of crc64 calculation as a Linux
kernel library. Since bcache already does crc64 by itself, this patchset
also modifies bcache code to use the new crc64 library routine.
Currently bcache is the only user of crc64 calculation, another potential
user is bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel. Therefore
it makes sense to make crc64 calculation to be a public library.
bcache uses crc64 as storage checksum, if a change of crc lib routines
results an inconsistent result, the unmatched checksum may make bcache
'think' the on-disk is corrupted, such a change should be avoided or
detected as early as possible. Therefore a patch is being prepared which
adds a crc test framework, to check consistency of different calculations.
This patch (of 2):
Add the re-write crc64 calculation routines for Linux kernel. The CRC64
polynomical arithmetic follows ECMA-182 specification, inspired by CRC
paper of Dr. Ross N. Williams (see
http://www.ross.net/crc/download/crc_v3.txt) and other public domain
implementations.
All the changes work in this way,
- When Linux kernel is built, host program lib/gen_crc64table.c will be
compiled to lib/gen_crc64table and executed.
- The output of gen_crc64table execution is an array called as lookup
table (a.k.a POLY 0x42f0e1eba9ea369) which contain 256 64-bit long
numbers, this table is dumped into header file lib/crc64table.h.
- Then the header file is included by lib/crc64.c for normal 64bit crc
calculation.
- Function declaration of the crc64 calculation routines is placed in
include/linux/crc64.h
Currently bcache is the only user of crc64_be(), another potential user is
bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel. Therefore it makes
sense to move crc64 calculation into lib/crc64.c as public code.

number of bits in a type (BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(T)), so promote the macro
to bitops.h, alongside BITS_PER_BYTE, for wider usage.

An ordinary arm64 defconfig build has ~64 KB worth of __ksymtab entries,
each consisting of two 64-bit fields containing absolute references, to
the symbol itself and to a char array containing its name, respectively.
When we build the same configuration with KASLR enabled, we end up with an
additional ~192 KB of relocations in the .init section, i.e., one 24 byte
entry for each absolute reference, which all need to be processed at boot
time.
Given how the struct kernel_symbol that describes each entry is completely
local to module.c (except for the references emitted by EXPORT_SYMBOL()
itself), we can easily modify it to contain two 32-bit relative references
instead. This reduces the size of the __ksymtab section by 50% for all
64-bit architectures, and gets rid of the runtime relocations entirely for
architectures implementing KASLR, either via standard PIE linking (arm64)
or using custom host tools (x86).
Note that the binary search involving __ksymtab contents relies on each
section being sorted by symbol name. This is implemented based on the
input section names, not the names in the ksymtab entries, so this patch
does not interfere with that.
Given that the use of place-relative relocations requires support both in
the toolchain and in the module loader, we cannot enable this feature for
all architectures. So make it dependent on whether
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS is defined.

To allow existing C code to be incorporated into the decompressor or the
UEFI stub, introduce a CPP macro that turns all EXPORT_SYMBOL_xxx
declarations into nops, and #define it in places where such exports are
undesirable. Note that this gets rid of a rather dodgy redefine of
linux/export.h's header guard.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result
hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for
most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups
(syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup <
RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall
is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent
machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires
setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task
hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The
additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because
usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug
localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests.
Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to
set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs.
The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl,
similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value
of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to
timeout.

Explicitly state that WARN*() should be used only for recoverable kernel
issues/bugs and that it should not be used for any kind of invalid
external inputs or transient conditions.
Motivation: it's a very useful capability to be able to understand if a
particular kernel splat means a kernel bug or simply an invalid user-space
program. For the former one wants to notify kernel developers, while
notifying kernel developers for the latter is annoying. Even a kernel
developer may not know what to do with a WARNING in an unfamiliar
subsystem. This is especially critical for any automated testing systems
that may use panic_on_warn and mail kernel developers.
The clear separation also serves as an additional documentation: is it a
condition that must never occur because of additional checks/logic
elsewhere? or is it simply a check for invalid inputs or unfortunate
conditions?
Use of pr_err() for user messages also leads to better error messages.
"Something is wrong in file foo on line X" is not particularly useful
message for end user. pr_err() forces developers to write more meaningful
error messages for user.
As of now we are almost there. We are doing systematic kernel testing
with panic_on_warn and are not seeing massive amounts of false positives.
But every now and then another WARN on ENOMEM or invalid inputs pops up
and leads to a lengthy argument each time. The goal of this change is to
officially document the rules.

Patch series "/proc/kcore improvements", v4.
This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. It fixes a couple of
small issues in v3 but is otherwise the same. Patches 1, 2, and 3 are
prep patches. Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 5 is another prep patch.
Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 8 makes it possible
to enable CRASH_CORE on any architecture, which is needed for patch 9.
Patch 9 adds vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore.
This patch (of 9):
kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in grabbing
any locks. We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem, which we
don't want to try grabbing during early boot.

Currently, NODEMASK_ALLOC allocates a nodemask_t with kmalloc when
NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, otherwise it declares it within the stack.
The comment says that the reasoning behind this, is that nodemask_t will
be 256 bytes when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, but this is not true. For
example, NODES_SHIFT = 9 will give us a 64 bytes nodemask_t. Let us fix
up the comment for that.
Another thing is that it might make sense to let values lower than
128bytes be allocated in the stack. Although this all depends on the
depth of the stack (and this changes from function to function), I think
that 64 bytes is something we can easily afford. So we could even bump
the limit by 1 (from > 8 to > 9).

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.
This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.
Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.
Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.
In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.
This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.
To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.
Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.
This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug
path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is
some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such
path.
free_area_init_core() performs the following actions:
1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more.
2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on
when creating hash tables.
3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and
memmap pages.
4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data
5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists
6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone
When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs
actions #1 and #4.
Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the
node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to
this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results
always in manages_pages being 0.
Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages:
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()
This patch does two things:
First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it
allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only
perform:
1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more
4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data
These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals().
The second thing this patch does, is to introduce
free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of
free_area_init_core():
Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In
there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages().
calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has.
Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging
to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate
this now.
Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to:
reset_node_managed_pages()
reset_node_present_pages()
The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when
onlining the pages:
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range()
Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace
__paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

is_dev_zone() is using zone_id() to check if the zone is ZONE_DEVICE.
zone_id() looks pretty much the same as zone_idx(), and while the use of
zone_idx() is quite spread in the kernel, zone_id() is only being used by
is_dev_zone().
This patch removes zone_id() and makes is_dev_zone() use zone_idx() to
check the zone, so we do not have two things with the same functionality
around.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.
Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.
We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.
This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.
The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, it is better to use "int entry_size"
instead of "bool cluster" as parameter to specify whether to operate for
huge or normal swap entries. Because this improve the flexibility to
support other swap entry size. And Dave Hansen thinks that this
improves code readability too.
So in this patch, the "bool cluster" parameter of get_swap_pages() is
replaced by "int entry_size".
And nr_swap_entries() trick is used to reduce the binary size when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGE.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.
- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
the merge window opened.

So update the minimum required version of gcc to 4.6.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains some major improvements to the RISC-V port, including
the necessary interrupt controller and timer support to actually make
it to userspace. Support for three devices has been added:
- the ISA-mandated timers on RISC-V systems.
- the ISA-mandated first-level interrupt controller on RISC-V
systems, which is handled as part of our core arch code because
it's very small and tightly tied to the ISA.
- SiFive's platform-level interrupt controller, which talks to the
actual devices.
In addition to these new devices, there are a handful of cleanups all
over the RISC-V tree:
- build fixes for various configurations:
* A fix to the vDSO build's makefile so it respects CFLAGS.
* The addition of __lshrti3, a libgcc derived function necessary
for some 32-bit configurations.
* !SMP && PERF_EVENTS
- Cleanups to the arch code to remove the remnants of old versions of
the drivers that were just properly submitted.
* Some dead code from the timer driver, most of which wasn't ever
even compiled.
* Cleanups of some interrupt #defines, which are now local to the
interrupt handling code.
- Fixes to ptrace(), which while not being sufficient to fully make
GDB work are at least sufficient to get simple GDB tasks to work.
- Early printk support via RISC-V's architecturally mandated SBI
console device.
- A fix to our early debug trap handler to ensure it's always
aligned.
These patches have all been through a fairly extensive review process,
but as this enables a whole pile of functionality (ie, userspace) I'm
confident we'll need to submit a few more patches. The only concrete
issues I know about are the sys_riscv_flush_icache patches, but as I
managed to screw those up on Friday I figured it'd be best to let them
bake another week.
This tag boots a Fedora root filesystem on QEMU's master branch for
me, and before this morning's rebase (from 4.18-rc8 to 4.18) it booted
on the HiFive Unleashed.
Thanks to Christoph Hellwig and the other guys at WD for getting the
new drivers in shape!"

This function was created as a deprecated fallback case back in 2010 by
commit eb14120f743d ("pcmcia: re-work pcmcia_request_irq()") for legacy
cases.
Actual in-kernel users haven't been around for a long while. The last
in-kernel user was apparently removed four years ago by commit
5f5316fcd08e ("am2150: Update nmclan_cs.c to use update PCMCIA API").
Just remove it entirely.

We haven't had lots of deprecation warnings lately, but the rdma use of
it made them flare up again.
They are not useful. They annoy everybody, and nobody ever does
anything about them, because it's always "somebody elses problem". And
when people start thinking that warnings are normal, they stop looking
at them, and the real warnings that mean something go unnoticed.
If you want to get rid of a function, just get rid of it. Convert every
user to the new world order.
And if you can't do that, then don't annoy everybody else with your
marking that says "I couldn't be bothered to fix this, so I'll just spam
everybody elses build logs with warnings about my laziness".
Make a kernelnewbies wiki page about things that could be cleaned up,
write a blog post about it, or talk to people on the mailing lists. But
don't add warnings to the kernel build about cleanup that you think
should happen but you aren't doing yourself.
Don't. Just don't.
