The kmem_cache_alloc implementation simply allocates new memory from
malloc() and calls the ctor, which zeroes out the entire object. This
means it cannot spot bugs where the object isn't properly reinitialised
before being freed.
Add a small (11 objects) cache before freeing objects back to malloc.
This is enough to let us write a test to catch it, although the memory
allocator is now aware of the structure of the radix tree node, since it
chains free objects through ->private_data (like the percpu cache does).

The random iteration test only inserts order-0 entries currently.
Update it to insert entries of order between 7 and 0. Also make the
maximum index configurable, make some variables static, make the test
duration variable, remove some useless spinning, and add a fifth thread
which calls tag_tagged_items().

When replacing an entry with NULL, we need to delete any sibling
entries. Also account deleting exceptional entries properly. Also fix
a bug with radix_tree_iter_replace() where we would fail to remove
entirely freed nodes. Also fix accounting bug when switching between
normal and exceptional entries with replace_slot. Also add testcases
for all these bugs.

Calculate how many nodes we need to allocate to split an old_order entry
into multiple entries, each of size new_order. The test suite checks
that we allocated exactly the right number of nodes; neither too many
(checked by rtp->nr == 0), nor too few (checked by comparing
nr_allocated before and after the call to radix_tree_split()).

This new function splits a larger multiorder entry into smaller entries
(potentially multi-order entries). These entries are initialised to
RADIX_TREE_RETRY to ensure that RCU walkers who see this state aren't
confused. The caller should then call radix_tree_for_each_slot() and
radix_tree_replace_slot() in order to turn these retry entries into the
intended new entries. Tags are replicated from the original multiorder
entry into each new entry.

This new function allows for the replacement of many smaller entries in
the radix tree with one larger multiorder entry. From the point of view
of an RCU walker, they may see a mixture of the smaller entries and the
large entry during the same walk, but they will never see NULL for an
index which was populated before the join.

This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller
(tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of
the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By
introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate
all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now
use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to
worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping.
The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating
this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as
radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator
which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

This rather complicated function can be better implemented as an
iterator. It has only one caller, so move the functionality to the only
place that needs it. Update the test suite to follow the same pattern.

This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the
presence of multiorder entries.
1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would
result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if
there were sibling entries.
2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of
a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by
an entry of lower order.
3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to
when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with
entry_to_node() being in a header file.
Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries
necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now
need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the
calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which
protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some
people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time
around the loop.
radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder
support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the
chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare
enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact
(and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just
processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to
force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive
than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

Calling rcu_barrier() allows all of the rcu-freed memory to be actually
returned to the pool, and allows nr_allocated to return to 0. As well
as allowing diffs between runs to be more useful, it also lets us

Instead of reseeding the random number generator every time around the
loop in big_gang_check(), seed it at the beginning of execution. Use
rand_r() and an independent base seed for each thread in
iteration_test() so they don't stomp all over each others state. Since
this particular test depends on the kernel scheduler, the iteration test
can't be reproduced based purely on the random seed, but at least it
won't pollute the other tests.
Print the seed, and allow the seed to be specified so that a run which
hits a problem can be reproduced.

It can be a source of mild concern when the test suite shows that we're
leaking nodes. While poring over the source code looking for leaks can
lead to some fascinating bugs being discovered, sometimes the leak is
simply that these nodes were preallocated and are sitting on the per-CPU
list. Free them by calling the CPU dead callback.

Rather than simply NOP out preempt_enable() and preempt_disable(), keep
track of preempt_count and display it regularly in case either the test
suite or the code under test is forgetting to balance the enables &
disables. Only found a test-case that was forgetting to re-enable
preemption, but it's a possibility worth checking.

In order to test the preload code, it is necessary to fail GFP_ATOMIC
allocations, which requires defining GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC properly.
Remove the obsolete __GFP_WAIT and copy the definitions of the __GFP
flags which are used from the kernel include files. We also need the
real definition of gfpflags_allow_blocking() to persuade the radix tree
to actually use its preallocated nodes.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the "big" staging/iio pull request for 4.10-rc1.
Not as big as 4.9 was, but still just over a thousand changes. We
almost broke even of lines added vs. removed, as the slicoss driver
was removed (got a "clean" driver for the same hardware through the
netdev tree), and some iio drivers were also dropped, but I think we
ended up adding a few thousand lines to the source tree in the end.
Other than that it's a lot of minor fixes all over the place, nothing
major stands out at all.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while. There will be a
merge conflict with Al's vfs tree in the lustre code, but the
resolution for that should be pretty simple, that too has been in
linux-next"

Shift down default message verbosity, where it does not show
error results in stdout by default. Since that behavior
is the same as giving the --quiet option, this patch removes
--quiet and makes --verbose increasing verbosity.
In other words, this changes verbosity options as below.
ftracetest -q -> ftracetest
ftracetest -> ftracetest -v
ftracetest -v -> ftracetest -v -v (or -vv)

Pull GPIO updates from Luinus Walleij:
"Bulk GPIO changes for the v4.10 kernel cycle:
Core changes:
- Simplify threaded interrupt handling: instead of passing numbed
parameters to gpiochip_irqchip_add_chained() we create a new call:
gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so the two types are clearly
semantically different. Also make sure that all nested chips call
gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip() which is necessary for IRQ resend to
work properly if it happens.
- Return error on seek operations for the chardev.
- Clamp values set as part of gpio[d]_direction_output() so that
anything != 0 will be send down to the driver as "1" not the value
passed in.
- ACPI can now support naming of GPIO lines, hogs and holes in the
GPIO lists.

- The SX150x driver was deemed unfit for the GPIO subsystem and was
moved over to a combined GPIO+pinctrl driver in the pinctrl
subsystem.

This test script try to do whitebox testing for gpio subsystem(based on
gpiolib). It manipulate gpio device through chardev or sysfs and check
the result from debugfs. This script test gpio-mockup through chardev by
default. User could test other gpio chip by passing the module name.
Some of the testcases are turned off by default to avoid the conflicting
with gpiochip in system.
In details, it test the following things:
1. Test direction and output value for valid pin.
2. Test dynamic allocation of gpio base.
3. Add single, multi gpiochip to do overlap check.
Run "tools/testing/selftests/gpio/gpio-mockup.sh -h" for usage.

The bug in khugepaged fixed earlier in this series shows that radix tree
slot replacement is fragile; and it will become more so when not only
NULL<->!NULL transitions need to be caught but transitions from and to
exceptional entries as well. We need checks.
Re-implement radix_tree_replace_slot() on top of the sanity-checked
__radix_tree_replace(). This requires existing callers to also pass the
radix tree root, but it'll warn us when somebody replaces slots with
contents that need proper accounting (transitions between NULL entries,
real entries, exceptional entries) and where a replacement through the
slot pointer would corrupt the radix tree node counts.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This update is pretty big and almost exclusively includes tooling
changes, because v4.9's LTS status forced to completion most of the
pending kernel side hardware enablement work and because we tried to
freeze core perf work a bit to give a time window for the fuzzing
efforts.
The diff is large mostly due to the JSON hardware event tables added
for Intel and Power8 CPUs. This was a popular feature request from
people working close to hardware and from the HPC community.
Tree size is big because this added the CPU event tables for over a
decade of Intel CPUs. Future changes for a CPU vendor alrady support
should be much smaller, as events for new models are added. The new
events are listed in 'perf list', for the CPU model the tool is
running on. If you find an interesting event it can be used as-is:
$ perf stat -a -e l2_lines_out.pf_clean sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
7,860,403 l2_lines_out.pf_clean
1.000624918 seconds time elapsed
The event lists can be searched the usual 'perf list' fashion for
(case insensitive) substrings as well:
$ perf list l2_lines_out
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cache:
l2_lines_out.demand_clean
[Clean L2 cache lines evicted by demand]
l2_lines_out.demand_dirty
[Dirty L2 cache lines evicted by demand]
l2_lines_out.dirty_all
[Dirty L2 cache lines filling the L2]
l2_lines_out.pf_clean
[Clean L2 cache lines evicted by L2 prefetch]
l2_lines_out.pf_dirty
[Dirty L2 cache lines evicted by L2 prefetch]
etc.
There's a few high level categories as well that can be listed:
'cache', 'floating point', 'frontend', 'memory', 'pipeline', 'virtual
memory'.
Existing generic events and workflows should work as-is.
The only kernel side change is a late breaking fix for an older
regression, related to Intel BTS, LBR and PT feature interaction.
On the tooling side there are three new tools / major features:
- The new 'perf c2c' tool provides means for Shared Data C2C/HITM
analysis.
This allows you to track down cacheline contention. The tool is
based on x86's load latency and precise store facility events
provided by Intel CPUs.
It was tested by Joe Mario and has proven to be useful, finding
some cacheline contentions. Joe also wrote a blog about c2c tool
with examples:
https://joemario.github.io/blog/2016/09/01/c2c-blog/
excerpt of the content on this site:
At a high level, “perf c2c” will show you:
* The cachelines where false sharing was detected.
* The readers and writers to those cachelines, and the offsets where those accesses occurred.
* The pid, tid, instruction addr, function name, binary object name for those readers and writers.
* The source file and line number for each reader and writer.
* The average load latency for the loads to those cachelines.
* Which numa nodes the samples a cacheline came from and which CPUs were involved.
Using perf c2c is similar to using the Linux perf tool today.
First collect data with “perf c2c record”, then generate a
report output with “perf c2c report”
There one finds extensive details on using the tool, with tips on
reducing the volume of samples while still capturing enough to do

- The new 'perf sched timehist' tool provides tailored analysis of
scheduling events.
Example usage:
perf sched record -- sleep 1
perf sched timehist
By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the
wait time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the
task), the task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually
running) and run time for the task:
time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time
[tid/pid] (msec) (msec) (msec)

Times are in msec.usec. (David Ahern, Namhyung Kim)
- Add CPU vendor hardware event tables:
Add JSON files with vendor event naming for Intel and Power8
processors, allowing users of tools like oprofile to keep using the
event names they are used to, as well as people reading vendor
documentation, where such naming is used. (Andi Kleen, Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)
You should see all the new events with 'perf list' and you should
be able to search them, for example 'perf list miss' will list all
the myriads of miss events.
Other tooling features added were:
- Cross-arch annotation support:
o Improve ARM support in the annotation code, affecting 'perf
annotate', 'perf report' and live annotation in 'perf top' (Kim
Phillips)
o Initial support for PowerPC in the annotation code (Ravi
Bangoria)
o Support AArch64 in the 'annotate' code, native/local and
cross-arch/remote (Kim Phillips)
- Allow considering just events in a given time interval, via the
'--time start.s.ms,end.s.ms' command line, added to 'perf kmem',
'perf report', 'perf sched timehist' and 'perf script' (David
Ahern)
- Add option to stop printing a callchain at one of a given group of
symbol names (David Ahern)
- Track memory freed in 'perf kmem stat' (David Ahern)
- Allow querying and setting .perfconfig variables (Taeung Song)
- Show branch information in callchains (predicted, TSX aborts, loop
iteractions, etc) (Jin Yao)
- Dynamicly change verbosity level by pressing 'V' in the 'perf
top/report' hists TUI browser (Alexis Berlemont)
- Implement 'perf trace --delay' in the same fashion as in 'perf
record --delay', to skip sampling workload initialization events
(Alexis Berlemont)
- Make vendor named events case insensitive in 'perf list', i.e.
'perf list LONGEST_LAT' works just the same as 'perf list
longest_lat' (Andi Kleen)
- Add unwinding support for jitdump (Stefano Sanfilippo)
Tooling infrastructure changes:
- Support linking perf with clang and LLVM libraries, initially
statically, but this limitation will be lifted and shared
libraries, when available, will be preferred to the static build,
that should, as with other features, be enabled explicitly (Wang
Nan)
- Add initial support (and perf test entry) for tooling hooks,
starting with 'record_start' and 'record_end', that will have as
its initial user the eBPF infrastructure, where perf_ prefixed
functions will be JITed and run when such hooks are called (Wang
Nan)
- Implement assorted libbpf improvements (Wang Nan)"
... and lots of other changes, features, cleanups and refactorings I
did not list, see the shortlog and the git log for details"

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make
use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by
CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the
build system more robust.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Several fixes to the DSM (ACPI device specific method) marshaling
implementation.
I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since
they fix the kernel's handling of ARS (Address Range Scrub) commands.
Especially for platforms without machine-check-recovery capabilities,
successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to
potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error
is present in the boot path. There is also a one line fix for a
device-dax read-only mapping regression.
Commits 9a901f5495e2 ("acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations
for ACPI DSMs") and 325896ffdf90 ("device-dax: fix private mapping
restriction, permit read-only") are true regression fixes for changes
introduced this cycle.
Commit efda1b5d87cb ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status
output length handling") fixes the kernel's handling of zero-length
results, this never would have worked in the past, but we only just
recently discovered a BIOS implementation that emits this arguably
spec non-compliant result.
The remaining two commits are additional fall out from thinking
through the implications of a zero / truncated length result of the
ARS Status command.
In order to mitigate the risk that these changes introduce yet more
regressions they are backstopped by a new unit test in commit
a7de92dac9f0 ("tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()") that
mocks up inputs to acpi_nfit_ctl()"
