Currently in x86_64, the symbol address of phys_base is exported to
vmcoreinfo. Dave Anderson complained this is really useless for his
Crash implementation. Because in user-space utility Crash and
Makedumpfile which exported vmcore information is mainly used for, value
of phys_base is needed to covert virtual address of exported kernel
symbol to physical address. Especially init_level4_pgt, if we want to
access and go over the page table to look up a PA corresponding to VA,
firstly we need calculate
page_dir = SYMBOL(init_level4_pgt) - __START_KERNEL_map + phys_base;
Now in Crash and Makedumpfile, we have to analyze the vmcore elf program
header to get value of phys_base. As Dave said, it would be preferable
if it were readily availabl in vmcoreinfo rather than depending upon the
PT_LOAD semantics.
Hence in this patch change to export the value of phys_base instead of
its virtual address.
And people also complained that KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE exporting is x86_64
only, should be moved into arch dependent function
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo. Do the moving in this patch.

I was amused to find "unsafe core_pattern" warning having these lines in
/etc/sysctl.conf:
fs.suid_dumpable=2
kernel.core_pattern=/core/core-%e-%p-%E
kernel.core_uses_pid=0
Turns out kernel is formally right. Default core_pattern is just "core",
which doesn't qualify for secure path while setting suid.dumpable.
Hint admins about solution, clarify sysctl names, delete unnecessary '\'
characters (string literals are concatenated regardless) and reformat for
easier grepping.

When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many
CPUs, it was found that spinlock contention in the sigprocmask syscalls
became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below.

Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that
the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are
changes in the signal mask.
A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking
the sighand->siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask.
This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are
trying to call sigprocmask().
With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was
gone.

NMI handler doesn't call set_irq_regs(), it's set only by normal IRQ.
Thus get_irq_regs() returns NULL or stale registers snapshot with IP/SP
pointing to the code interrupted by IRQ which was interrupted by NMI.
NULL isn't a problem: in this case watchdog calls dump_stack() and
prints full stack trace including NMI. But if we're stuck in IRQ
handler then NMI watchlog will print stack trace without IRQ part at
all.
This patch uses registers snapshot passed into NMI handler as arguments:
these registers point exactly to the instruction interrupted by NMI.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
of fuse in the next development cycle.
The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
since at least Linux v1.0.
Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
of these fixes"

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
pile for v4.10.
The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).
While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
disabling irq for netns id").
The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
support"

Resetting audit_sock appears to be racy.
audit_sock was being copied and dereferenced without using a refcount on
the source sock.
Bump the refcount on the underlying sock when we store a refrence in
audit_sock and release it when we reset audit_sock. audit_sock
modification needs the audit_cmd_mutex.

The backlog queue handling in audit_log_start() is a little odd with
some questionable design decisions, this patch attempts to rectify
this with the following changes:
* Never make auditd wait, ignore any backlog limits as we need auditd
awake so it can drain the backlog queue.
* When we hit a backlog limit and start dropping records, don't wake
all the tasks sleeping on the backlog, that's silly. Instead, let
kauditd_thread() take care of waking everyone once it has had a chance
to drain the backlog queue.
* Don't keep a global backlog timeout countdown, make it per-task. A
per-task timer means we won't have all the sleeping tasks waking at
the same time and hammering on an already stressed backlog queue.

The audit record backlog queue has always been a bit of a mess, and
the moving the multicast send into kauditd_thread() from
audit_log_end() only makes things worse. This patch attempts to fix
the backlog queue with a better design that should hold up better
under load and have less of a performance impact at syscall
invocation time.
While it looks like there is a log going on in this patch, the main
change is the move from a single backlog queue to three queues:
* A queue for holding records generated from audit_log_end() that
haven't been consumed by kauditd_thread() (audit_queue).
* A queue for holding records that have been sent via multicast but
had a temporary failure when sending via unicast and need a resend
(audit_retry_queue).
* A queue for holding records that haven't been sent via unicast
because no one is listening (audit_hold_queue).
Special care is taken in this patch to ensure that the proper
record ordering is preserved, e.g. we send everything in the hold
queue first, then the retry queue, and finally the main queue.

Sending audit netlink multicast messages is bad for all the same
reasons that sending audit netlink unicast messages is bad, so this
patch reworks things so that we don't do the multicast send in
audit_log_end(), we do it from the dedicated kauditd_thread thread just
as we do for unicast messages.

Richard made this change some time ago but Eric backed it out because

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.
- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.
- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.
- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.
- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.
- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.
- Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.
- Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

Commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") allows to define more message headers for a single
message. The motivation is that continuous lines might get mixed.
Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of
a cont line.
This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all headers
and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level().
This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users
independently.

Commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") added back KERN_CONT message header. As a result
it might appear in the middle of the line when the parts are squashed
via the temporary NMI buffer.
A reasonable solution seems to be to split the text in the NNI temporary
not only by newlines but also by the message headers.
Another solution would be to filter out KERN_CONT when writing to the
temporary buffer. But this would complicate the lockless handling.
Also it would not solve problems with a missing newline that was there
even before the KERN_CONT stuff.
This patch moves the temporary buffer handling into separate function.
I played with it and it seems that using the char pointers make the code
easier to read.
Also it prints the final newline as a continuous line.
Finally, it moves handling of the s->len overflow into the paranoid
check. And allows to recover from the disaster.

vsnprintf() adds the trailing '\0' but it does not count it into the
number of printed characters. The result is that there is one byte less
space for the real characters in the buffer.
The broken check for the free space might cause that we will repeatedly
try to print 1 character into the buffer, never reach the full buffer,
and do not count the messages as missed.
Also vsnprintf() returns the number of characters that would be printed
if the buffer was big enough. As a result, s->len might be bigger than
the size of the buffer[*]. And the printk() function might return
bigger len than it really printed. Both problems are fixed by using
vscnprintf() instead.
Note that I though about increasing the number of missed messages even
when the message was shrunken. But it made the code even more
complicated. I think that it is not worth it. Shrunken messages are
usually easy to recognize. And it should be a corner case.
[*] The overflown s->len value is crazy and unexpected. I "made a
mistake" and reported this situation as an internal error when fixed
handling of PR_CONT headers in some other patch.

This limitation came with the reason to remove "another way for
malicious code to obscure a compromised program and masquerade as a
benign process" by allowing "security-concious program can use this
prctl once during its early initialization to ensure the prctl cannot
later be abused for this purpose":
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133160684517468&w=2
This explanation doesn't look sufficient. The only thing "exe" link is
indicating is the file, used to execve, which is basically nothing and
not reliable immediately after process has returned from execve system
call.
Moreover, to use this feture, all the mappings to previous exe file have
to be unmapped and all the new exe file permissions must be satisfied.
Which means, that changing exe link is very similar to calling execve on
the binary.
The need to remove this limitations comes from migration of NFS mount
point, which is not accessible during restore and replaced by other file
system. Because of this exe link has to be changed twice.

When commit fbae2d44aa1d ("kthread: add kthread_create_worker*()")
introduced some kthread_create_...() functions which were taking
printf-like parametter, it introduced __printf attributes to some
functions (e.g. kthread_create_worker()). Nevertheless some new
functions were forgotten (they have been detected thanks to
-Wmissing-format-attribute warning flag).
Add the missing __printf attributes to the newly-introduced functions in
order to detect formatting issues at build-time with -Wformat flag.

Commit 265a5b7ee3eb ("kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for gcc 4.6")
has added __used attribute to kprobe_trace_selftest_target to ensure
that the method is listed in kallsyms table.
However, even though the method remains in the kernel image, the actual
call is optimized away as there are no side effects and the return value
is never checked.
Add a return value check and a 'noinline' attribute to ensure that an
inlined copy of the method is not used by the caller. Also add checks
that verify that the kprobe was really hit, as at the moment the tests
show positive results despite the test method being optimized away.
Finally, add __init annotations to find_trace_probe_file() and
kprobe_trace_selftest_target() as they are only called from within an
__init method.

The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.
The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The tree got pretty big in this development cycle, but the net effect
is pretty good:
115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-)
The main changes were:
- Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex
primitives. (Peter Zijlstra)
- Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the
preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,
Christian Borntraeger)
- Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to
clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core
kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger)
- Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)
- Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)
- Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived
bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner)
- Misc fixes, cleanups"

find_idlest_group() only compares the runnable_load_avg when looking
for the least loaded group. But on fork intensive use case like
hackbench where tasks blocked quickly after the fork, this can lead to
selecting the same CPU instead of other CPUs, which have similar
runnable load but a lower load_avg.
When the runnable_load_avg of 2 CPUs are close, we now take into
account the amount of blocked load as a 2nd selection factor. There is
now 3 zones for the runnable_load of the rq:
- [0 .. (runnable_load - imbalance)]:
Select the new rq which has significantly less runnable_load
- [(runnable_load - imbalance) .. (runnable_load + imbalance)]:
The runnable loads are close so we use load_avg to chose
between the 2 rq
- [(runnable_load + imbalance) .. ULONG_MAX]:
Keep the current rq which has significantly less runnable_load
The scale factor that is currently used for comparing runnable_load,
doesn't work well with small value. As an example, the use of a
scaling factor fails as soon as this_runnable_load == 0 because we
always select local rq even if min_runnable_load is only 1, which
doesn't really make sense because they are just the same. So instead
of scaling factor, we use an absolute margin for runnable_load to
detect CPUs with similar runnable_load and we keep using scaling
factor for blocked load.
For use case like hackbench, this enable the scheduler to select
different CPUs during the fork sequence and to spread tasks across the
system.
Tests have been done on a Hikey board (ARM based octo cores) for
several kernel. The result below gives min, max, avg and stdev values
of 18 runs with each configuration.
The patches depend on the "no missing update_rq_clock()" work.

During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been
selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to
set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is
still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to
look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization.
Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test:
hackbench -P -g 1
because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not
spread during fork.
With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as
for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test
until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the
test which is useful for others benchmarks
