* mm, tree-wide: rename put_user_page*() to unpin_user_page*()John Hubbard2020-01-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to provide a clearer, more symmetric API for pinning and unpinning DMA pages. This way, pin_user_pages*() calls match up with unpin_user_pages*() calls, and the API is a lot closer to being self-explanatory.

* mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PINJohn Hubbard2020-01-312-0/+233
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and also pin_longterm_pages*() variations. For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API. These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also introduced, and thoroughly documented. pin_user_pages() pin_user_pages_remote() pin_user_pages_fast() All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via put_user_page(). The underlying rules are: * FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly set it. That behavior is enforced with assertions. * Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers will: * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That makes it easy to find and audit the call sites. * Set FOLL_PIN * For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned via put_user_page(). Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in this documentation. (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)

This was done to allow arches to include just the instrumented bitops they need, while also using some of the generic bitops in asm-generic/bitops (which are automatically instrumented). The generic bitops are already split into atomic, non-atomic and locking headers. This split required an update to kernel-api.rst because it included include/asm-generic/bitops-instrumented.h, which no longer exists. So now kernel-api.rst includes all three instrumented headers to get the definitions for all the bitops. When adding the three headers it seemed sensible to add sub-headings for each, ie. "Atomic", "Non-atomic" and "Locking". The confusion is that test_bit() is (and always has been) in non-atomic.h, but is documented elsewhere (atomic_bitops.txt) as being atomic. So having it appear under the "Non-atomic" heading is possibly confusing. Probably test_bit() should move from bitops/non-atomic.h to atomic.h, but that has flow on effects. For now just remove the newly added sub-headings in the documentation, so we at least aren't adding to the confusion about whether test_bit() is atomic or not.

This is true on x86 and s390, but is not always true: there is a generic bitops/non-atomic.h header that provides generic non-atomic operations, and also a generic bitops/lock.h for locking operations. powerpc uses the generic non-atomic version, so it does not have it's own e.g. __set_bit that could be renamed arch___set_bit. Split up bitops-instrumented.h to mirror the atomic/non-atomic/lock split. This allows arches to only include the headers where they have arch-specific versions to rename. Update x86 and s390. (The generic operations are automatically instrumented because they're written in C, not asm.)

This implements that as a %p extension: With %pe, one can do if (IS_ERR(foo)) { pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %pe\n", foo); return PTR_ERR(foo); } instead of what is seen in quite a few places in the kernel: if (IS_ERR(foo)) { pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(foo)); return PTR_ERR(foo); } If the value passed to %pe is an ERR_PTR, but the library function errname() added here doesn't know about the value, the value is simply printed in decimal. If the value passed to %pe is not an ERR_PTR, we treat it as an ordinary %p and thus print the hashed value (passing non-ERR_PTR values to %pe indicates a bug in the caller, but we can't do much about that). With my embedded hat on, and because it's not very invasive to do, I've made it possible to remove this. The errname() function and associated lookup tables take up about 3K. For most, that's probably quite acceptable and a price worth paying for more readable dmesg (once this starts getting used), while for those that disable printk() it's of very little use - I don't see a procfs/sysfs/seq_printf() file reasonably making use of this - and they clearly want to squeeze vmlinux as much as possible. Hence the default y if PRINTK. The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E' In the cases where some common aliasing exists (e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most), I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc) to the bottom so that one takes precedence.

* / | mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)Vlastimil Babka2019-10-071-0/+4
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned (i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes. That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently evidenced in [2]. The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a 'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size). Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc() alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all configurations. What this means for the three available allocators? * SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment, which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all arches and cache sizes. * SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache. With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be acceptable in a debugging scenario. * SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing, after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with difference in the noise.

The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them being used if if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a "char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious). So if what you have a "char" (or unsigned char) you should always just print it out as an "int", knowing that the compiler already did the proper type conversion.

* | asm-generic, x86: add bitops instrumentation for KASANMarco Elver2019-07-121-1/+1

This change includes the required change for x86 as reference and changes the kernel API doc to point to bitops-instrumented.h instead. Rationale: the functions in x86's bitops.h are no longer the kernel API functions, but instead the arch_ prefixed functions, which are then instrumented via bitops-instrumented.h. Other architectures can similarly add support for asm implementations of bitops. The documentation text was derived from x86 and existing bitops asm-generic versions: 1) references to x86 have been removed; 2) as a result, some of the text had to be reworded for clarity and consistency.

These create more than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on. - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos, and one on Spectre vulnerabilities. - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I will never understand, were of the opinion that :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type. - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4. - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (129 commits) docs: automarkup.py: ignore exceptions when seeking for xrefs docs: Move binderfs to admin-guide Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML output doc: RCU callback locks need only _bh, not necessarily _irq docs: format kernel-parameters -- as code Doc : doc-guide : Fix a typo platform: x86: get rid of a non-existent document Add the RCU docs to the core-api manual Documentation: RCU: Add TOC tree hooks Documentation: RCU: Rename txt files to rst Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU UP systems to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU linked list to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU basic concepts to reST docs: filesystems: Remove uneeded .rst extension on toctables scripts/sphinx-pre-install: fix out-of-tree build docs: zh_CN: submitting-drivers.rst: Remove a duplicated Documentation/ Documentation: PGP: update for newer HW devices Documentation: Add section about CPU vulnerabilities for Spectre Documentation: platform: Delete x86-laptop-drivers.txt docs: Note that :c:func: should no longer be used ...

| |\ | | | | | | | | | | | | Bring in (finally) automatic markup of function() so we need not load up our docs with ugly c:func: annotations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the build system automatically marks up function references, we don't have to clutter the source files, so take it out.
