vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()

Aleksei hit the soft lockup during reading /proc/PID/smaps.  David
investigated the problem and suggested the right fix.

while_each_thread() is racy and should die, this patch updates
vm_is_stack().

Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"

This reverts commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC").

commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC") assumes that the
system with !CONFIG_NUMA has only one memory node.  But, it turns out to
be false by the report from Geert.  His system, m68k, has many memory
nodes and is configured in !CONFIG_NUMA.  So it couldn't boot with above
change.

Here goes his failure report.

  With latest mainline, I'm getting a crash during bootup on m68k/ARAnyM:

  ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while.  It was
  broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed.  Nobody
  uses those machines anymore.  While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of
  old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.

  Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning
  of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on

 "Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
  commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).

  From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
  the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
  (Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
  properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
  related to supporting ACPI on ARM.

  Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
  to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
  out by it quite significantly.  We also have some power management
  changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
  and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
  ACPICA).

  The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140724.  That includes ACPI 5.1
     material (support for the _CCA and _DSD predefined names, changes
     related to the DMAR and PCCT tables and ARM support among other
     things) and cleanups related to using ACPICA's header files.  A
     major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used by
     that utility.  Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
     Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.

   - Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
     Joerg Roedel.

   - Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
     as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Fixes for issues related to ACPI button events (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - New device ID for an ACPI-enumerated device included into the
     Wildcat Point PCH from Jie Yang.

   - ACPI video updates related to backlight handling from Hans de Goede
     and Linus Torvalds.

   - Preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM from Hanjun Guo

   - Cleanups and improvements related to system suspend from Lan
     Tianyu, Randy Dunlap and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - ACPI battery cleanup from Wei Yongjun.

generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump
done by the memory subsystem.

These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value.

Emit a warning on these types of messages.

This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the
previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then
looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo =
kmalloc()"

ie: this code matches:

foo = kmalloc();
if (foo == NULL) {
printk("Out of memory\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}

This test is very crude and incomplete.

This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this
specific form.

ie: this code does not match:

foo = kmalloc();
if (!foo) {
rtn = -ENOMEM;
printk("Out of memory!\n");
goto out;
}

This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself
does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false
positives in my limited testing.

[The increases in __bitmap_and{,not} are due to bug fixes 17/18,18/18.
No idea why bitmap_weight suddenly appears.] While 163 bytes treewide is
insignificant, I believe the bitmap functions are often called with
locks held, so saving even a few cycles might be worth it.

While making these changes, I found a few other things that might be
worth including.  16,17,18 are actual bug fixes.  The rest shouldn't
change the behaviour of any of the functions, provided no-one passed
negative nbits values.  If something should come up, it should be fairly
bisectable.

A few issues I thought about, but didn't know what to do with:

* Many of the functions misbehave if nbits is compile-time 0; the
  out-of-line functions generally handle 0 correctly.  bitmap_fill() is
  particularly bad, whether the 0 is known at compile time or not.  It
  would probably be nice to add detection of at least compile-time 0 and
  handle that appropriately.

* I didn't change __bitmap_shift_{left,right} to use unsigned because I
  want to fully understand why the algorithm works before making that
  change.  However, AFAICT, they behave correctly for all (positive) shift
  amounts.  This is not the case for the small_const_nbits versions.  If
  for example nbits = n = BITS_PER_LONG, the shift operators turn into
  no-ops (at least on x86), so one get *dst = *src, whereas one would
  expect to get *dst=0.  That difference in behaviour is somewhat
  annoying.

This patch (of 18):

The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it
knows that "nbits" is non-negative.  Since no-one passes a negative
bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics.

There is no reason to maintain the list structure while freeing the
debug elements.  Aside from the redundant pointer manipulations, it is
also inefficient from a locality-of-reference viewpoint, since they are
visited in a random order (wrt.  the order they were allocated).
Furthermore, if we jumped to exit: after detecting list corruption, it
is actually dangerous.

So just free the elements in the order they were allocated, using the
backing array elts.  Allocate that using kcalloc(), so that if
allocation of one of the debug element fails, we just end up calling
kfree(NULL) for the trailing elements.

Minor details: Use sizeof(*elts) instead of sizeof(void *), and return
err immediately when allocation of elts fails, to avoid introducing
another label just before the final return statement.

10 years agoprintk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs
Luis R. Rodriguez [Wed, 6 Aug 2014 23:08:56 +0000 (16:08 -0700)]
printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs

The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

rounding the log_buf_len=n to the next power of 2 with

printk: make dynamic kernel ring buffer alignment explicit

We have to consider alignment for the ring buffer both for the default
static size, and then also for when an dynamic allocation is made when
the log_buf_len=n kernel parameter is passed to set the size
specifically to a size larger than the default size set by the
architecture through CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT.

The default static kernel ring buffer can be aligned properly if
architectures set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT properly, we provide ranges for
the size though so even if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT has a sensible aligned
value it can be reduced to a non aligned value.  Commit 6ebb017de9
("printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI") by Andrew
Lunn ensures the static buffer is always aligned and the decision of
alignment is done by the compiler by using __alignof__(struct log).

When log_buf_len=n is used we allocate the ring buffer dynamically.
Dynamic allocation varies, for the early allocation called before
setup_arch() memblock_virt_alloc() requests a page aligment and for the
default kernel allocation memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic() requests no
special alignment, which in turn ends up aligning the allocation to
SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which is L1 cache aligned.

Since we already have the required alignment for the kernel ring buffer
though we can do better and request explicit alignment for LOG_ALIGN.
This does that to be safe and make dynamic allocation alignment
explicit.

./Makefile: tell gcc optimizer to never introduce new data races

We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.

This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
never gccs were used.  I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
out it actually can.

Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
 "More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
  conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
  that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
  loops are executed.  They also perform a simple check whether the
  store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
  variables.  A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
  example the following:

  $ cat cond_store.c

  int g_1 = 1;

  int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));

  int c = 4;

  int __attribute__ ((noinline))
  foo (void)
  {
    int l;
    for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
      if (g_1)
        return l;
      for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
        ;
    }
    return 2;
  }

  int main (int argc, char* argv[])
  {
    if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
      {
        int e = errno;
        error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);

  Segmentation fault

  The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7.  Therefore
  I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
  also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2.  I
  have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
  failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
  and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"

Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
used.

The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
comment from our internal bugzilla:

 "I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
  It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
  gcc-4.3.4.

  The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
  called the following way:

  + vprintk_emit();
      + log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
         or
         log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
         cont_add(log, ...);
          + cont_flush(log, ...);
              + log_store(log, ...);
                    + log_make_free_space(log, ...);

  If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
  modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
  variables:

  It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
  when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
  is decided.  It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
  and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"

I believe that the best course of action is both

 - building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
   optimization turned off
 - persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases

10 years agomm/zpool: update zswap to use zpool
Dan Streetman [Wed, 6 Aug 2014 23:08:40 +0000 (16:08 -0700)]
mm/zpool: update zswap to use zpool

Change zswap to use the zpool api instead of directly using zbud.  Add a
boot-time param to allow selecting which zpool implementation to use,
with zbud as the default.
