workqueue: implement "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" debug feature

2016-02-09T22:59:38Z

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU selection for all such work items. The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option. If you hit this commit during bisection, please refer to 041bd12e272c ("Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"") for more information and ping me. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Do not enable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM by default

2016-01-21T01:12:18Z

Larry Finger reports: "My PowerBook G4 Aluminum with a 32-bit PPC processor fails to boot for the 4.4-git series". This is likely due to X still needing /dev/mem access on this platform. CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is not yet safe to turn on when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y. Remove the default so that old configurations do not change behavior.

UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message. So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements ubsan handlers printing errors. GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined option and its suboptions). However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2]. Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

Kconfig: remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT

2016-01-16T19:17:23Z

As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390 support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk. However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk() weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y. Given that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

page-flags: introduce page flags policies wrt compound pages

2016-01-16T01:56:32Z

This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function definitions for page flags. This argument defines how page-flags helpers behave on compound functions. For now we define four policies: - PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless if it's non-compound, head or tail. - PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the compound page if it gets tail page. - PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this helper function. - PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this helper function. For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current behaviour. We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags checked for random pages all over the kernel. Noticeable exception to this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block- dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks integration. There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized fixups that we will handle incrementally. Summary: - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device. This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating dax mappings. - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to dax-mmap a block device directly. - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option. - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix, block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits) block: kill disk_{check|set|clear|alloc}_badblocks libnvdimm, pmem: nvdimm_read_bytes() badblocks support pmem, dax: disable dax in the presence of bad blocks pmem: fail io-requests to known bad blocks libnvdimm: convert to statically allocated badblocks libnvdimm: don't fail init for full badblocks list block, badblocks: introduce devm_init_badblocks block: clarify badblocks lifetime badblocks: rename badblocks_free to badblocks_exit libnvdimm, pmem: move definition of nvdimm_namespace_add_poison to nd.h libnvdimm: Add a poison list and export badblocks nfit_test: Enable DSMs for all test NFITs md: convert to use the generic badblocks code block: Add badblock management for gendisks badblocks: Add core badblock management code block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash block: enable dax for raw block devices block: introduce bdev_file_inode() restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug ...

restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges

2016-01-09T14:30:49Z

This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE semantics by default. If userspace really believes it is safe to access the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an active driver. This protects device address ranges with read side effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver. Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem. In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via request_mem_region(). /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction by default. Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more difficult with this enabled. Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either: 1/ Disabling the driver, for example: echo > /dev/bus//drivers//unbind 2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line 3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction. Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.
