%pT for task->comm has been proposed (several times, I think), but is
not actually implemented. Remove it from printk-formats.txt and add it
back if/when it gets implemented.

Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads. In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.
Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to
exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security
vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data
which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to
the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater
range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a
larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for
fragmentation.
The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for
the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec
in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values,
which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The
trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and
the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation
is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts
of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl
interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for
offset generation on a system.
The direct motivation for this change was in response to the
libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to
information provided by Google's project zero at:
http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html
The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically
targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the
mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack.
Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was
limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded
8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating
the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a
piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy
value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of
over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more
likely to be noticed.
The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch
minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the
current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to
give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base
address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the
user-space accessible virtual address space.
When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system
developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed
anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location,
which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base
address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced,
preventing very large allocations.
This patch (of 4):
ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the
mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to
prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a
way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all
platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that
platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place
the trade-off.

There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
place in swap.
Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting
the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
(the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).
To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields
tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status
and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be
extended in the future, if there's a need for that.
Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields:
VmPeak: 2001008 kB
VmSize: 2001004 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmPin: 0 kB

Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for
shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages
that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous
mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when
swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks
like it was never faulted in.
This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for
such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how
mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for.
For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped
out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of
the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their
page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a
sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that
were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen.
The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous
mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in
question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let
them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and
subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all.
Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent
from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault
them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions
the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a
differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those
usecases.
One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more
expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each
pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have
measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single
pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat
/proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.
Private anonymous mapping:
real 0m0.949s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.348s
Mapping of a /dev/shm/file:
real 0m3.831s
user 0m0.180s
sys 0m3.212s
The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the
cost for shared or read-only mappings.
In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my
desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This
included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat
/proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times.
Before this patch:
real 0m9.050s
user 0m0.518s
sys 0m8.066s
After this patch:
real 0m9.221s
user 0m0.541s
sys 0m8.187s
This suggests low impact on average systems.
Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for
shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could
have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed
swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

This series is based on Jerome Marchand's [1] so let me quote the first
paragraph from there:
There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(sysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping to a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file
mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place
in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they
aren't accounted at all.
The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO
rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is
unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not
accounted for.
The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is
that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As
such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in
/proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use
swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to
change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for
the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they
also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many
assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for
a relatively small benefit.
Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and
provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who
are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps.
Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to
determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new
shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the
values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has
a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I
think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by
consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch
changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without
swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0.
The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a
VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status.
Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might
help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still
rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks.
[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/
This patch (of 6):
The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value
of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not
swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings).
This is not obvious, so document this limitation.

inode_nohighmem() is sufficient to make sure that page_get_link()
won't try to allocate a highmem page. Moreover, it is sufficient
to make sure that page_symlink/__page_symlink won't do the same
thing. However, any filesystem that manually preseeds the symlink's
page cache upon symlink(2) needs to make sure that the page it
inserts there won't be a highmem one.
Fortunately, only nfs and shmem have run afoul of that...

Bindings for Samsung S2M and S5M family PMICs are in mess. They are
spread over different files and subdirectories in a non-consistent way.
The devices and respective drivers for them share a lot in common so
everything could be organized in a more readable way.
Reorganize the S2MPS11/13/14/15 Device Tree bindings to match the
drivers for this family of devices:
- move mfd/s2mps11.txt to mfd/samsung,sec-core.txt for the main MFD
driver (common for entire family),
- split clock block to clock/samsung,s2mps11.txt,
- split regulator block to regulator/samsung,s2mps11.txt.

Pull second batch of media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"This is the second part of the media patches. It contains the media
controller next generation patches, with is the result of one year of
discussions and development. It also contains patches to enable media
controller support at the DVB subsystem.
The goal is to improve the media controller to allow proper support
for other types of Video4Linux devices (radio and TV ones) and to
extend the media controller functionality to allow it to be used by
other subsystems like DVB, ALSA and IIO.
In order to use the new functionality, a new ioctl is needed
(MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY). As we're still discussing how to pack the
struct fields of this ioctl in order to avoid compat32 issues, I
decided to add a patch at the end of this series commenting out the
new ioctl, in order to postpone the addition of the new ioctl to the
next Kernel version (4.6).
With that, no userspace visible changes should happen at the media
controller API, as the existing ioctls are untouched. Yet, it helps
DVB, ALSA and IIO developers to develop and test the patches adding
media controller support there, as the core will contain all required
internal changes to allow adding support for devices that belong to
those subsystems"

"Generic MTD:
- populate the MTD device 'of_node' field (and get a proper 'of_node'
symlink in sysfs)
This yielded some new helper functions, and changes across a
variety of drivers
- partitioning cleanups, to prepare for better device-tree based
partitioning in the future
Eliminate a lot of boilerplate for drivers that want to use
OF-based partition parsing
The DT bindings for this didn't settle yet, so most non-cleanup
portions are deferred for a future release
NAND:
- embed a struct mtd_info inside struct nand_chip
This is really long overdue; too many drivers have to do the same
silly boilerplate to allocate and link up two "independent"
structs, when in fact, everyone is assuming there is an exact 1:1
relationship between a NAND chips struct and its underlying MTD.
This aids improved helpers and should make certain abstractions
easier in the future.
Also causes a lot of churn, helped along by some automated code
transformations
- add more core support for detecting (and "correcting") bitflips in
erased pages; requires opt-in by drivers, but at least we kill a
few bad implementations and hopefully stave off future ones
- pxa3xx_nand: cleanups, a few fixes, and PM improvements

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.
The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
tool for accessing it.
On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).
The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
doesn't provide the properties expected by them.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
and debugfs support.
A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML
debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool
for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up
the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King,
Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of
fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe
Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael
Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB
object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI
objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName
handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the
ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the
handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module-
level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now
(instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have
been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated
to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel
is more in line with the upstream now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether
or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys
and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use
that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace
for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu,
Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found
in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a
device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the
namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device
enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver
for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs
where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA
controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the
last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up
the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts
to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the
platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device
properties and add support for passing default configuration data
as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the
designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and
add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if
the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected
by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus,
Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng
Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more
efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared
between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device
Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is
running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with
an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on the
Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling devices
that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula where V is
the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant coefficient
provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little cpufreq
driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia, Jacob
Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
- cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us calculation
(Rik van Riel).
- Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x, ux500,
exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
Gortmaker).
- PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during system
suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may lead to
inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki, Ulf
Hansson).
- PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
- PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
- cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger)"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a
devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type.
Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the
discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and
only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the
moment.
- The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is
relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt
is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface.
- Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to
enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual
netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in
the said branch.
- Various cleanups

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.
There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:
-----
| This is an automated patch using
|
| sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&\(.*\)->i_mutex,[ ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
| sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
| sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
|
| with a very few manual fixups
-----
I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
merges)"

Pull arm[64] perf updates from Will Deacon:
"In the past, I have funnelled perf updates through the respective
architecture trees, but now that the arm/arm64 perf driver has been
largely consolidated under drivers/perf/, it makes more sense to send
a separate pull, particularly as I'm listed as maintainer for all the
files involved. I offered the branch to arm-soc, but Arnd suggested
that I just send it to you directly.
So, here is the arm/arm64 perf queue for 4.5. The main features are
described below, but the most useful change is from Drew, which
advertises our architected event mapping in sysfs so that the perf
tool is a lot more user friendly and no longer requires the use of
magic hex constants for profiling common events.
- Support for the CPU PMU in Cortex-A72
- Add sysfs entries to describe the architected events and their
mappings for PMUv{1-3}"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Here is the core arm64 queue for 4.5. As you might expect, the
Christmas break resulted in a number of patches not making the final
cut, so 4.6 is likely to be larger than usual. There's still some
useful stuff here, however, and it's detailed below.
The EFI changes have been Reviewed-by Matt and the memblock change got
an "OK" from akpm.
Summary:
- Support for a separate IRQ stack, although we haven't reduced the
size of our thread stack just yet since we don't have enough data
to determine a safe value
- Refactoring of our EFI initialisation and runtime code into
drivers/firmware/efi/ so that it can be reused by arch/arm/.
- Ftrace improvements when unwinding in the function graph tracer
- Document our silicon errata handling process
- Cache flushing optimisation when mapping executable pages
- Support for hugetlb mappings using the contiguous hint in the pte"
