locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks

2017-12-12T11:38:51Z

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y), while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably a worse overall outcome. If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity. Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's a marked difference between annotating locking operations and uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ... This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already, so we cannot risk this outcome. Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives, or it should not be included in the upstream kernel. ( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were introduced. ) Cc: Byungchul Park Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

lib: test module for find_*_bit() functions

2017-11-18T00:10:02Z

find_bit functions are widely used in the kernel, including hot paths. This module tests performance of those functions in 2 typical scenarios: randomly filled bitmap with relatively equal distribution of set and cleared bits, and sparse bitmap which has 1 set bit for 500 cleared bits. On ThunderX machine: Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap find_next_bit: 240043 cycles, 164062 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 312848 cycles, 163619 iterations find_last_bit: 193748 cycles, 164062 iterations find_first_bit: 177720874 cycles, 164062 iterations Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap find_next_bit: 3633 cycles, 656 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 620399 cycles, 327025 iterations find_last_bit: 3038 cycles, 656 iterations find_first_bit: 691407 cycles, 656 iterations [arnd@arndb.de: use correct format string for find-bit tests] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171113135605.3166307-1-arnd@arndb.de Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109140714.13168-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com Signed-off-by: Yury Norov Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Reviewed-by: Clement Courbet Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2017-11-13T22:13:48Z

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in the next merge window. The main changes in this cycle were: Hardware enablement: - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention) CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri) [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.] - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh) - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela) Other changes: - A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy Lutomirski) - Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf) - 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov) - Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov) - Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early FPU init code (Andi Kleen) - Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada) - ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (118 commits) x86/build: Make the boot image generation less verbose selftests/x86: Add tests for the STR and SLDT instructions selftests/x86: Add tests for User-Mode Instruction Prevention x86/traps: Fix up general protection faults caused by UMIP x86/umip: Enable User-Mode Instruction Prevention at runtime x86/umip: Force a page fault when unable to copy emulated result to user x86/umip: Add emulation code for UMIP instructions x86/cpufeature: Add User-Mode Instruction Prevention definitions x86/insn-eval: Add support to resolve 16-bit address encodings x86/insn-eval: Handle 32-bit address encodings in virtual-8086 mode x86/insn-eval: Add wrapper function for 32 and 64-bit addresses x86/insn-eval: Add support to resolve 32-bit address encodings x86/insn-eval: Compute linear address in several utility functions resource: Fix resource_size.cocci warnings X86/KVM: Clear encryption attribute when SEV is active X86/KVM: Decrypt shared per-cpu variables when SEV is active percpu: Introduce DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED x86: Add support for changing memory encryption attribute in early boot x86/io: Unroll string I/O when SEV is active x86/boot: Add early boot support when running with SEV active ...
