Minfei Huang 917a35605f kexec: make a pair of map/unmap reserved pages in error path
For some arch, kexec shall map the reserved pages, then use them, when
we try to start the kdump service.

kexec may return directly, without unmaping the reserved pages, if it
fails during starting service.  To fix it, we make a pair of map/unmap
reserved pages both in generic path and error path.

This patch only affects s390.  Other architecturess don't implement the
interface of crash_unmap_reserved_pages and crash_map_reserved_pages.

It isn't a urgent patch.  Kernel can work well without any risk,
although the reserved pages are not unmapped before returning in error
path.

Xunlei Pang 9b492cf580 kexec: introduce a protection mechanism for the crashkernel reserved memory
For the cases that some kernel (module) path stamps the crash reserved
memory(already mapped by the kernel) where has been loaded the second
kernel data, the kdump kernel will probably fail to boot when panic
happens (or even not happens) leaving the culprit at large, this is
unacceptable.

The patch introduces a mechanism for detecting such cases:

1) After each crash kexec loading, it simply marks the reserved memory
   regions readonly since we no longer access it after that.  When someone
   stamps the region, the first kernel will panic and trigger the kdump.
   The weak arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() is introduced to do the actual
   protection.

2) To allow multiple loading, once 1) was done we also need to remark
   the reserved memory to readwrite each time a system call related to
   kdump is made.  The weak arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres() is introduced
   to do the actual protection.

The architecture can make its specific implementation by overriding
arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres().

Oleg Nesterov 9eb8a659de exec: remove the no longer needed remove_arg_zero()->free_arg_page()
remove_arg_zero() does free_arg_page() for no reason.  This was needed
before and only if CONFIG_MMU=y: see commit 4fc75ff481 ("exec: fix
remove_arg_zero"), install_arg_page() was called for every page != NULL
in bprm->page[] array.  Today install_arg_page() has already gone and
free_arg_page() is nop after another commit b6a2fea393 ("mm: variable
length argument support").

CONFIG_MMU=n does free_arg_pages() in free_bprm() and thus it doesn't
need remove_arg_zero()->free_arg_page() too; apart from get_arg_page()
it never checks if the page in bprm->page[] was allocated or not, so the
"extra" non-freed page is fine.  OTOH, this free_arg_page() can add the
minor pessimization, the caller is going to do copy_strings_kernel()
right after remove_arg_zero() which will likely need to re-allocate the
same page again.

And as Hujunjie pointed out, the "offset == PAGE_SIZE" check is wrong
because we are going to increment bprm->p once again before return, so
CONFIG_MMU=n "leaks" the page anyway if '0' is the final byte in this
page.

NOTE: remove_arg_zero() assumes that argv[0] is null-terminated but this
is not necessarily true.  copy_strings() does "len = strnlen_user(...)",
then copy_from_user(len) but another thread or debuger can overwrite the
trailing '0' in between.  Afaics nothing really bad can happen because
we must always have the null-terminated bprm->filename copied by the 1st
copy_strings_kernel(), but perhaps we should change this code to check
"bprm->p < bprm->exec" anyway, and/or change copy_strings() to ensure
that the last byte in string is always zero.

Andi Kleen 725fc629ff kernek/fork.c: allocate idle task for a CPU always on its local node
Linux preallocates the task structs of the idle tasks for all possible
CPUs.  This currently means they all end up on node 0.  This also
implies that the cache line of MWAIT, which is around the flags field in
the task struct, are all located in node 0.

We see a noticeable performance improvement on Knights Landing CPUs when
the cache lines used for MWAIT are located in the local nodes of the
CPUs using them.  I would expect this to give a (likely slight)
improvement on other systems too.

The patch implements placing the idle task in the node of its CPUs, by
passing the right target node to copy_process()

Oleg Nesterov 5c8ccefdf4 signal: move the "sig < SIGRTMIN" check into siginmask(sig)
All the users of siginmask() must ensure that sig < SIGRTMIN.  sig_fatal()
doesn't and this is wrong:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/signal.c:911:6
	shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'long unsigned int'

the patch doesn't add the neccesary check to sig_fatal(), it moves the
check into siginmask() and updates other callers.

Tetsuo Handa c96fc2d85f signal: make oom_flags a bool
Currently the size of "struct signal_struct"->oom_flags member is
sizeof(unsigned) bytes, but only one flag OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN which is
updated by current thread is defined.  We can convert OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN
into a bool, and reuse the saved bytes for updating from the OOM killer
and/or the OOM reaper thread.

By the way, do we care about a race window between run_store() and
swapoff() because it would be theoretically possible that two threads
sharing the "struct signal_struct" concurrently call respective
functions? If we care, we can make oom_flags an atomic_t.

Oleg Nesterov 91c4e8ea8f wait: allow sys_waitid() to accept __WNOTHREAD/__WCLONE/__WALL
I see no reason why waitid() can't support other linux-specific flags
allowed in sys_wait4().

In particular this change can help if we reconsider the previous change
("wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced") which adds the
"automagical" __WALL for debugger.

Oleg Nesterov bf959931dd wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced
The following program (simplified version of generated by syzkaller)

	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <signal.h>

	void *thread_func(void *arg)
	{
		ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0);
		return 0;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t thread;

		if (fork())
			return 0;

		while (getppid() != 1)
			;

		pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
		pthread_join(thread, NULL);
		return 0;
	}

creates an unreapable zombie if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL.

This is not a kernel bug, at least in a sense that everything works as
expected: debugger should reap a traced sub-thread before it can reap the
leader, but without __WALL/__WCLONE do_wait() ignores sub-threads.

Unfortunately, it seems that /sbin/init in most (all?) distributions
doesn't use it and we have to change the kernel to avoid the problem.
Note also that most init's use sys_waitid() which doesn't allow __WALL, so
the necessary user-space fix is not that trivial.

This patch just adds the "ptrace" check into eligible_child().  To some
degree this matches the "tsk->ptrace" in exit_notify(), ->exit_signal is
mostly ignored when the tracee reports to debugger.  Or WSTOPPED, the
tracer doesn't need to set this flag to wait for the stopped tracee.

This obviously means the user-visible change: __WCLONE and __WALL no
longer have any meaning for debugger.  And I can only hope that this won't
break something, but at least strace/gdb won't suffer.

We could make a more conservative change.  Say, we can take __WCLONE into
account, or !thread_group_leader().  But it would be nice to not
complicate these historical/confusing checks.

Ralf Baechle f43edca7ed ELF/MIPS build fix
CONFIG_MIPS32_N32=y but CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF disabled results in the
following linker errors:

  arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `elf_core_dump':
  binfmt_elfn32.c:(.text+0x23dbc): undefined reference to `elf_core_extra_phdrs'

CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y but CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF disabled results in the following
linker errors:

  arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `elf_core_dump':
  binfmt_elfo32.c:(.text+0x28a04): undefined reference to `elf_core_extra_phdrs'

  binfmt_elfo32.c:(.text+0x29710): undefined reference to `elf_core_write_extra_data'

This is because binfmt_elfn32 and binfmt_elfo32 are using symbols from
elfcore but for these configurations elfcore will not be built.

Fixed by making elfcore selectable by a separate config symbol which
unlike the current mechanism can also be used from other directories
than kernel/, then having each flavor of ELF that relies on elfcore.o,
select it in Kconfig, including CONFIG_MIPS32_N32 and CONFIG_MIPS32_O32
which fixes this issue.

lkdtm driver at drivers/misc is using flush_icache_range() which for
m32r is defined as smp_flush_cache_all() if CONFIG_SMP is defined.  But
as smp_flush_cache_all() was not exported so the build was failing with

Wang Nan 09fa4f4012 perf record: Rename variable to make code clear
record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data.  'head'
is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data.

The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.

Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to
'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:

    buf = &data[old & md->mask];
    size = head - old;
    old += size;     <--- Here, old == head

This can happen when reading from overwritable ring buffer, which

the SCA_FD beautifier, so just remove the setting of "fd" args to
SCA_FD and do it when reading the syscall info, like we do for
args of type "pid_t", i.e. "fd" as the name should be enough as
the decision to use the SFA_FD beautifier. For odd cases we can
just do it explicitely.

Linus Torvalds 1f40c49570 libnvdimm for 4.7
1/ Device DAX for persistent memory:
    Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
    (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
    without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
    precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:
 
    a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
       (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
 
    b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
       scenarios are supported.
 
    Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
    targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated
    memory ranges.
 
 2/ Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
    This enables management of these first generation devices until a
    unified DSM specification materializes.
 
 3/ Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
    identifier format.
 
 4/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
     identifier format.

   - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"
