checkpatch: make types found in a source file/patch local
checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover
the names of user-defined types and modifiers. It then uses that
information when processing expressions to discover potential style
issues.
Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give
different results if you run it on several input files in one execution,
or one by one!
The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a
type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a
different file.
For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this
line (in a macro):
size value;
and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line:
while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit)
If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2
the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag
the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator.
To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays
from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in
files at the beginning of each new source file.

bitmap: remove explicit newline handling using scnprintf format string

It's unnecessary and also partially duplicated as scnprintf already adds
trailing null character. The newline can be passed through format
string to scnprintf. This patch does that simplification.
However theoretically there's one behavior difference: when the buffer
is too small, the original code would still output '\n' at the end while
the new code(with this patch) would just continue to print the formatted
string. Since this function is dealing with only page buffers, it's
highly unlikely to hit that corner case.
This patch will help in auditing the users of bitmap_print_to_pagebuf to

netconsole: implement extended console support
printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for
structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed
to regular console drivers.
It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to
netconsole consumers. This obviously makes logging via netconsole more
complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments
where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g. when netconsole
is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to
travel congested hops to reach the aggregator. The lost and reordered
messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the
sequence numbers.
printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by
setting CON_EXTENDED flag. From console driver side, not much changes.
The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is
formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be
enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or
echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs. When enabled, netconsole
transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg
output.
There's one complication due to message fragments. netconsole limits the
maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into
multiple fragments. As all extended console messages should carry
matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message
fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to
identify the specific fragment. The optional header is of the form
"ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and
LEN is the total length.
To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended
netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended netconsole is
configured.

clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.
The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.
These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.
This patch (of 2):
clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).
Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.
However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.
Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel

Cleanup commit 73679e508201 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.
However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.
Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
statements.
I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
cleanup would be simplest option.

Commit 818411616baf ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt. The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process. I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.
This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it. This allows enabling
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.
Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline
/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with
$ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null
However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB
and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether.
People noticed and ask questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit
seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory. To
not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary
sized command lines.
I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line
layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]".
The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control
flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count.
There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool

comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:
"zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs. echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name. it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols. however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
compressing backend
cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The one and only
way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
(default value: 1). IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do
this again, if needed.
This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim). read operation performed
on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
error status.
Usage example:
# add a new specific zram device
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
2
# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)
[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]
Commit ba6b17d68c8e ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
and reset. At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
so it was okay.
However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.
The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.
To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.
This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

With dynamic device creation/removal (which will be introduced later in
the series) printing num_devices in zram_init() will not make a lot of
sense, as well as printing the number of destroyed devices in
destroy_devices(). Print per-device action (added/removed) in zram_add()
and zram_remove() instead.
Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
is confusing, let's drop it. A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
can request as many devices as he can handle.

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks.
No functional changes.
Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch.
For example,
a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static inline void update_used_max
static int zram_bvec_write
static int zram_bvec_rw
b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
handler:
c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
functions again, and so on.
Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
`cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):
-- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.
-- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc
-- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
show() functions
exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after
meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these
sysfs handlers.
-- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free
static inline bool zram_meta_get
static inline void zram_meta_put
static void zram_meta_free
static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc
static void zram_free_page
-- a block of I/O functions
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static int zram_bvec_write
static void zram_bio_discard
static int zram_bvec_rw
static void __zram_make_request
static void zram_make_request
static void zram_slot_free_notify
static int zram_rw_page
-- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class
will sit here)
static int zram_reset_device

Pull asm/scatterlist.h removal from Jens Axboe:
"We don't have any specific arch scatterlist anymore, since parisc
finally switched over. Kill the include"

remove scatterlist.h generation from arch Kbuild files
remove <asm/scatterlist.h>
tracing: Fix typo from "static inlin" to "static inline"
The trace.h header when called without CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING enabled
(seldom done), will not compile because of a typo in the protocol
of trace_event_enum_update().

The filter_parse() function can call infix_get_op() which calls
infix_advance() that updates the infix filter pointers for the cnt
and tail without checking if the filter is already at the end, which
will put the cnt to zero and the tail beyond the end. The loop then calls
infix_next() that has
The cnt will now be below zero, and the tail that is returned is
already passed the end of the filter string. So far the allocation
of the filter string usually has some buffer that is zeroed out, but
if the filter string is of the exact size of the allocated buffer
there's no guarantee that the charater after the nul terminating
character will be zero.
Luckily, only root can write to the filter.

tracing/filter: Do not WARN on operand count going below zero
When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with
a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case
that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong).
That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path
where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless,
and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out
a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via
the proper channels.

Merge branch 'for-4.2/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block IO update from Jens Axboe:
"Nothing really major in here, mostly a collection of smaller
optimizations and cleanups, mixed with various fixes. In more detail,
this contains:
- Addition of policy specific data to blkcg for block cgroups. From
Arianna Avanzini.
- Various cleanups around command types from Christoph.
- Cleanup of the suspend block I/O path from Christoph.
- Plugging updates from Shaohua and Jeff Moyer, for blk-mq.
- Eliminating atomic inc/dec of both remaining IO count and reference
count in a bio. From me.
- Fixes for SG gap and chunk size support for data-less (discards)
IO, so we can merge these better. From me.
- Small restructuring of blk-mq shared tag support, freeing drivers
from iterating hardware queues. From Keith Busch.
- A few cfq-iosched tweaks, from Tahsin Erdogan and me. Makes the
IOPS mode the default for non-rotational storage"
