The xfs_buf_log_item structure has a reference counter with slightly
tricky semantics. In the common case, a buffer is logged and
committed in a transaction, committed to the on-disk log (added to
the AIL) and then finally written back and removed from the AIL. The
bli refcount covers two potentially overlapping timeframes:
1. the bli is held in an active transaction
2. the bli is pinned by the log
The caveat to this approach is that the reference counter does not
purely dictate the lifetime of the bli. IOW, when a dirty buffer is
physically logged and unpinned, the bli refcount may go to zero as
the log item is inserted into the AIL. Only once the buffer is
written back can the bli finally be freed.
The above semantics means that it is not enough for the various
refcount decrementing contexts to release the bli on decrement to
zero. xfs_trans_brelse(), transaction commit (->iop_unlock()) and
unpin (->iop_unpin()) must all drop the associated reference and
make additional checks to determine if the current context is
responsible for freeing the item.
For example, if a transaction holds but does not dirty a particular
bli, the commit may drop the refcount to zero. If the bli itself is
clean, it is also not AIL resident and must be freed at this time.
The same is true for xfs_trans_brelse(). If the transaction dirties
a bli and then aborts or an unpin results in an abort due to a log
I/O error, the last reference count holder is expected to explicitly
remove the item from the AIL and release it (since an abort means
filesystem shutdown and metadata writeback will never occur).
This leads to fairly complex checks being replicated in a few
different places. Since ->iop_unlock() and xfs_trans_brelse() are
nearly identical, refactor the logic into a common helper that
implements and documents the semantics in one place. This patch does
not change behavior.

xfs_trans_brelse() is a bit of a historical mess, similar to
xfs_buf_item_unlock(). It is unnecessarily verbose, has snippets of
commented out code, inconsistency with regard to stale items, etc.
Clean up xfs_trans_brelse() to use similar logic and flow as
xfs_buf_item_unlock() with regard to bli reference count handling.
This patch makes no functional changes, but facilitates further
refactoring of the common bli reference count handling code.

xfstests generic/388,475 occasionally reproduce assertion failures
in xfs_buf_item_unpin() when the final bli reference is dropped on
an invalidated buffer and the buffer is not locked as it is expected
to be. Invalidated buffers should remain locked on transaction
commit until the final unpin, at which point the buffer is removed
from the AIL and the bli is freed since stale buffers are not
written back.
The assert failures are associated with filesystem shutdown,
typically due to log I/O errors injected by the test. The
problematic situation can occur if the shutdown happens to cause a
race between an active transaction that has invalidated a particular
buffer and an I/O error on a log buffer that contains the bli
associated with the same (now stale) buffer.
Both transaction and log contexts acquire a bli reference. If the
transaction has already invalidated the buffer by the time the I/O
error occurs and ends up aborting due to shutdown, the transaction
and log hold the last two references to a stale bli. If the
transaction cancel occurs first, it treats the buffer as non-stale
due to the aborted state: the bli reference is dropped and the
buffer is released/unlocked. The log buffer I/O error handling
eventually calls into xfs_buf_item_unpin(), drops the final
reference to the bli and treats it as stale. The buffer wasn't left
locked by xfs_buf_item_unlock(), however, so the assert fails and
the buffer is double unlocked. The latter problem is mitigated by
the fact that the fs is shutdown and no further damage is possible.
->iop_unlock() of an invalidated buffer should behave consistently
with respect to the bli refcount, regardless of aborted state. If
the refcount remains elevated on commit, we know the bli is awaiting
an unpin (since it can't be in another transaction) and will be
handled appropriately on log buffer completion. If the final bli
reference of an invalidated buffer is dropped in ->iop_unlock(), we
can assume the transaction has aborted because invalidation implies
a dirty transaction. In the non-abort case, the log would have
acquired a bli reference in ->iop_pin() and prevented bli release at
->iop_unlock() time. In the abort case the item must be freed and
buffer unlocked because it wasn't pinned by the log.
Rework xfs_buf_item_unlock() to simplify the currently circuitous
and duplicate logic and leave invalidated buffers locked based on
bli refcount, regardless of aborted state. This ensures that a
pinned, stale buffer is always found locked when eventually
unpinned.

Now that deferred operations are completely managed via
transactions, it's no longer necessary to cancel the dfops in error
paths that already cancel the associated transaction. There are a
few such calls lingering throughout the codebase.
Remove all remaining unnecessary calls to xfs_defer_cancel(). This
leaves xfs_defer_cancel() calls in two places. The first is the call
in the transaction cancel path itself, which facilitates this patch.
The second is made via the xfs_defer_finish() error path to provide
consistent error semantics with transaction commit. For example,
xfs_trans_commit() expects an xfs_defer_finish() failure to clean up
the dfops structure before it returns.

The VFS routine that calls ->get_link blindly copies whatever's returned
into the user's buffer. If we return a NULL pointer, the vfs will
crash on the null pointer. Therefore, return -EFSCORRUPTED instead of
blowing up the kernel.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.
It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.
This patch was inspired by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.
That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b02e9 ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2. Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

Enabling the interrupt early, before power has been applied to the
device, can result in an interrupt being delivered too early if:
- the IOMMU shares an interrupt with a VOP
- the VOP has a pending interrupt (after a kexec, for example)
In these conditions, we end-up taking the interrupt without
the IOMMU being ready to handle the interrupt (not powered on).
Moving the interrupt request past the pm_runtime_enable() call
makes sure we can at least access the IOMMU registers. Note that
this is only a partial fix, and that the VOP interrupt will still
be screaming until the VOP driver kicks in, which advocates for
a more synchronized interrupt enabling/disabling approach.

pm_runtime_get_if_in_use can fail: either PM has been disabled
altogether (-EINVAL), or the device hasn't been enabled yet (0).
Sadly, the Rockchip IOMMU driver tends to conflate the two things
by considering a non-zero return value as successful.
This has the consequence of hiding other bugs, so let's handle this
case throughout the driver, with a WARN_ON_ONCE so that we can try
and work out what happened.

commit a13f18f59d26 ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states

Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so
we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in
idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that
might be causing this confusion.
Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current

Two users have reported [1] that they have an "extremely unlikely" system
with more than MAX_PA/2 memory and L1TF mitigation is not effective. In
fact it's a CPU with 36bits phys limit (64GB) and 32GB memory, but due to
holes in the e820 map, the main region is almost 500MB over the 32GB limit:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000081effffff] usable
Suggestions to use 'mem=32G' to enable the L1TF mitigation while losing the
500MB revealed, that there's an off-by-one error in the check in
l1tf_select_mitigation().
l1tf_pfn_limit() returns the last usable pfn (inclusive) and the range
check in the mitigation path does not take this into account.
Instead of amending the range check, make l1tf_pfn_limit() return the first
PFN which is over the limit which is less error prone. Adjust the other
users accordingly.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type. As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.
The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.
vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

The ebcdic.c file contains tables for converting between ebcdic and PC

I have converted this to UTF-8 by manually removing the escape

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.
See 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."
Two main changes of this patch are:
- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
after put_page() returns,
- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
that is decided to be allocated soon.

Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation".
Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages
of soft offlining. Discussion and analysis showed that we need make
sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under
zone->lock for soft offline. 1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2
hanldes free buddy page's case.
This patch (of 2):
There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which
causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure.
The process killing is caused by the following flow:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
soft offline
get_any_page
// find the hugetlb is free
mmap a hugetlb file
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
alloc_huge_page
// succeed
soft_offline_free_page
// set hwpoison flag
mmap the hugetlb file
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
find_lock_page
return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
mm_fault_error
do_sigbus
// kill the process
The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow:
CPU 0 CPU 1
mmap a hugetlb file
// reserve all free page but don't fault-in
soft offline
get_any_page
// find the hugetlb is free
soft_offline_free_page
// set hwpoison flag
dissolve_free_huge_page
// fail because all free hugepages are reserved
page fault
...
hugetlb_fault
hugetlb_no_page
alloc_huge_page
...
dequeue_huge_page_node_exact
// ignore hwpoisoned hugepage
// and finally fail due to no-mem
The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based
on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid
accessing the corrupted data. This makes sense for memory_failure() or
hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about
corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost. This patch
changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after
containment of the error page completes successfully.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.
This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:
CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489
This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.

An HFS+ filesystem can be mounted read-only without having a metadata
directory, which is needed to support hardlinks. But if the catalog
data is corrupted, a directory lookup may still find dentries claiming
to be hardlinks.
hfsplus_lookup() does check that ->hidden_dir is not NULL in such a
situation, but mistakenly does so after dereferencing it for the first
time. Reorder this check to prevent a crash.
This happens when looking up corrupted catalog data (dentry) on a
filesystem with no metadata directory (this could only ever happen on a
read-only mount). Wen Xu sent the replication steps in detail to the
fsdevel list: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200297

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.
Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.
For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.
I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.
