In response to automated complaints about modifications to SRCU
increasing its size, this commit creates a tiny SRCU that is
used in SMP=n && PREEMPT=n builds.

SRCU's implementation of expedited grace periods has always assumed
that the SRCU instance is idle when the expedited request arrives.
This commit improves this a bit by maintaining a count of the number
of outstanding expedited requests, thus allowing prior non-expedited
grace periods accommodate these requests by shifting to expedited mode.
However, any non-expedited wait already in progress will still wait for
the full duration.
Improved control of expedited grace periods is planned, but one step
at a time.

Updating ->srcu_state and ->srcu_gp_seq will lead to extremely complex
race conditions given multiple callback queues, so this commit takes
advantage of the two-bit state now available in rcu_seq counters to
store the state in the bottom two bits of ->srcu_gp_seq.

This commit increases the number of reserved bits at the bottom of an

The expedited grace-period code contains several open-coded shifts
know the format of an rcu_seq grace-period counter, which is not
particularly good style. This commit therefore creates a new
rcu_seq_ctr() function that extracts the counter portion of the
counter, and an rcu_seq_state() function that extracts the low-order
state bit. This commit prepares for SRCU callback parallelization,
which will require two state bits.

This commit moves the C preprocessor code that defines the default shape
of the rcu_node combining tree to a new include/linux/rcu_node_tree.h
file as a first step towards enabling SRCU to create its own combining
tree, which in turn enables SRCU to implement per-CPU callback handling,
thus avoiding contention on the lock currently guarding the single list
of callbacks. Note that users of SRCU still need to know the size of
the srcu_struct structure, hence include/linux rather than kernel/rcu.

This commit switches SRCU from custom-built callback queues to the new

The current SRCU grace-period processing might never reach the last
portion of srcu_advance_batches(). This is OK given the current
implementation, as the first portion, up to the try_check_zero()
following the srcu_flip() is sufficient to drive grace periods forward.
However, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making it impossible to
determine when a given grace period has ended, and it will be necessary
to efficiently trace ends of grace periods in order to efficiently handle
per-CPU SRCU callback lists.
This commit therefore adds states to the SRCU grace-period processing,
so that the end of a given SRCU grace period is marked by the transition
to the SRCU_STATE_DONE state.

This commit simplifies the SRCU state machine by pushing the
srcu_advance_batches() idle-SRCU fastpath into the common case. This is
done by giving srcu_reschedule() a delay parameter, which is zero in
the call from srcu_advance_batches().
This commit is a step towards numbering callbacks in order to
efficiently handle per-CPU callback lists.

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(). The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq. The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.
Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

Expedited grace periods use workqueue handlers that wake up the requesters,
but there is no lock mediating this wakeup. Therefore, memory barriers
are required to ensure that the handler's memory references are seen by
all to occur before synchronize_*_expedited() returns to its caller.
Possibly detected by syzkaller.

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via
the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the
rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the
Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past,
but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use
a multi-tail callback list there as well.
This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling
into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API.
The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and
applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes,
the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already
bigger than would be good.)

If the RCU_EXPERT Kconfig option is not set (the default), then the
RCU_FANOUT_LEAF Kconfig option will not be defined, which will cause
the leaf-level rcu_node tree fanout to default to 32 on 32-bit systems
and 64 on 64-bit systems. This can result in excessive lock contention.
This commit therefore changes the computation of the leaf-level rcu_node
tree fanout so that the result will be 16 unless an explicit Kconfig or
kernel-boot setting says otherwise.

The rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch() do a series of checks,
taking various actions to supply RCU with quiescent states, depending
on the outcomes of the various checks. This is a bit much for scheduling
fastpaths, so this commit creates a separate ->rcu_urgent_qs field in
the rcu_dynticks structure that acts as a global guard for these checks.
Thus, in the common case, rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch()
check the ->rcu_urgent_qs field, find it false, and simply return.

The rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() function scans the RCU flavors, checking

Users of SRCU are obliged to complete all grace-period activity before
invoking cleanup_srcu_struct(). This means that all calls to either
synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_srcu_expedited() must have returned,
and all calls to call_srcu() must have returned, and the last call to
call_srcu() must have been followed by a call to srcu_barrier().
Furthermore, the caller must have done something to prevent any
further calls to synchronize_srcu(), synchronize_srcu_expedited(),
and call_srcu().
Therefore, if there has ever been an invocation of call_srcu() on
the srcu_struct in question, the sequence of events must be as
follows:
1. Prevent any further calls to call_srcu().
2. Wait for any pre-existing call_srcu() invocations to return.
3. Invoke srcu_barrier().
4. It is now safe to invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
On the other hand, if there has ever been a call to synchronize_srcu()
or synchronize_srcu_expedited(), the sequence of events must be as
follows:
1. Prevent any further calls to synchronize_srcu() or
synchronize_srcu_expedited().
2. Wait for any pre-existing synchronize_srcu() or
synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocations to return.
3. It is now safe to invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
If there have been calls to all both types of functions (call_srcu()
and either of synchronize_srcu() and synchronize_srcu_expedited()), then
the caller must do the first three steps of the call_srcu() procedure
above and the first two steps of the synchronize_s*() procedure above,
and only then invoke cleanup_srcu_struct().
Note that cleanup_srcu_struct() does some probabilistic checks
for the caller failing to follow these procedures, in which case
cleanup_srcu_struct() does WARN_ON() and avoids freeing the per-CPU
structures associated with the specified srcu_struct structure.

Currently, IPIs are used to force other CPUs to invalidate their TLBs
in response to a kernel virtual-memory mapping change. This works, but
degrades both battery lifetime (for idle CPUs) and real-time response
(for nohz_full CPUs), and in addition results in unnecessary IPIs due to
the fact that CPUs executing in usermode are unaffected by stale kernel
mappings. It would be better to cause a CPU executing in usermode to
wait until it is entering kernel mode to do the flush, first to avoid
interrupting usemode tasks and second to handle multiple flush requests
with a single flush in the case of a long-running user task.
This commit therefore reserves a bit at the bottom of the ->dynticks
counter, which is checked upon exit from extended quiescent states.
If it is set, it is cleared and then a new rcu_eqs_special_exit() macro is
invoked, which, if not supplied, is an empty single-pass do-while loop.
If this bottom bit is set on -entry- to an extended quiescent state,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers.
This bottom bit may be set using a new rcu_eqs_special_set() function,
which returns true if the bit was set, or false if the CPU turned
out to not be in an extended quiescent state. Please note that this
function refuses to set the bit for a non-nohz_full CPU when that CPU
is executing in usermode because usermode execution is tracked by RCU
as a dyntick-idle extended quiescent state only for nohz_full CPUs.

The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
broke kexec_file.
Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
chance and not by design.
Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
- Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
- Use common struct definition
- Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
- Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
- Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
- Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]

Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge
window".
Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing
more testing. I've been doing testing before and this was also tested
by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never
reproduced before.
I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result. I dropped it because of
implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I
think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough
already.
Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit
wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after
moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more
sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the
event_wait_completion in D state. So then I added the second patch to
be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late
during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state. The
same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it
makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's
run under WARN_ON_ONCE.
While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I
looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to
stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on
userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute
userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against
userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before
list_add(fcs). This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area
also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new.
The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after
free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if
CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y. Very hard to reproduce though and probably
impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled.
This patch (of 3):
I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not
easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce.

consistent and it is null terminated list as expected. So this has to
be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the
vma list was being modified by another CPU.
When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to
SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..).
The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still
other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it
has to wait the even to be received by the manager). So this is an use
after free that was happening for all processes.
One more implementation problem aside from the race condition:
userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking
the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks.
One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be
delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager
doesn't read the event.
The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can
check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer:
if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) {
[..]
} else {
return -ENOSPC;
}
It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These fix several issues in the intel_pstate driver and one issue in
the schedutil cpufreq governor, clean up that governor a bit and hook
up existing code for disabling cpufreq to a new kernel command line
option.
Specifics:
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive mode
(in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two for the
handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling of the
cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and is
simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
- Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar)"

The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.
That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927835a "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).
It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code. The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.
Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.
We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops. But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11
merge window:
- powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags in
initialization.
A check was added to make sure that all jump label entries were 4
bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules. Adding
an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
solution.
- Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits
as a normal long. But because this structure had static
initialization, it broke older compilers that could not statically
initialize anonymous unions without brackets.
- The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke
the "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a
new hash to hold the entries.
- The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to
allow its setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the
command line hook was added.
This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready
before the merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in
linux-next for a couple of days first"

commit 93825f2ec736 converted NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC because the author

As a result, the calculation of refined jiffies got broken, triggering
lockups.

Always increment/decrement ucount->count under the ucounts_lock. The
increments are there already and moving the decrements there means the
locking logic of the code is simpler. This simplification in the
locking logic fixes a race between put_ucounts and get_ucounts that
could result in a use-after-free because the count could go zero then
be found by get_ucounts and then be freed by put_ucounts.
A bug presumably this one was found by a combination of syzkaller and
KASAN. JongWhan Kim reported the syzkaller failure and Dmitry Vyukov
spotted the race in the code.
