Tejun Heo d43ff430f4 printk: guard the amount written per line by devkmsg_read()
This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
information which enables things like structured logging and detection
of lost messages.

This patch (of 7):

devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output
message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use
of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use
devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't
that complicated.

This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read()
so that it limits output accordingly.

Josh Triplett 3033f14ab7 clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions.  In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel.  That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.

The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.

These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks.  I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.  However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.

This patch (of 2):

clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread.  sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument.  Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).

Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order.  This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.

However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.

Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument.  Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.

Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
syscall.

Daniel Borkmann b86a50c3b5 compiler-intel: fix wrong compiler barrier() macro
Cleanup commit 73679e5082 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.

However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.

Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
statements.

I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
cleanup would be simplest option.

Iago LĂłpez Galeiras 2e13ba54a2 fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN
Commit 818411616b ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt.  The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process.  I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.

This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it.  This allows enabling
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.

Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

Alexey Dobriyan c2c0bb4462 proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline
/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with

	$ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null

However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB
and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether.

People noticed and ask questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit

seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.  To
not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary
sized command lines.

I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line
layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]".

The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control
flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count.

There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

Alexey Dobriyan 4a00e9df29 prctl: more prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) checks
Individual prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) calls do some checking to maintain a
consistent view of mm->arg_start et al fields, but not enough.  In
particular PR_SET_MM_ARG_START/PR_SET_MM_ARG_END/ R_SET_MM_ENV_START/
PR_SET_MM_ENV_END only check that the address lies in an existing VMA,
but don't check that the start address is lower than the end address _at
all_.

Consolidate all consistency checks, so there will be no difference in
the future between PR_SET_MM_MAP and individual PR_SET_MM_* calls.

/proc/$PID/cmdline show garbage (it doesn't oops by luck).

Dan Streetman 479305fd71 zpool: remove zpool_evict()
Remove zpool_evict() helper function.  As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.

Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function.  However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page.  This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

Sergey Senozhatsky d93435c3fb zram: check comp algorithm availability earlier
Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.

comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:

  "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"

this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.

add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():

Sergey Senozhatsky 4bbacd51a6 zram: cut trailing newline in algorithm name
Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs.  echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name.  it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols.  however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:

 zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
            compressing backend

cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like

  zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend

we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

Sergey Senozhatsky 6566d1a32b zram: add dynamic device add/remove functionality
We currently don't support on-demand device creation.  The one and only
way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
(default value: 1).  IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1.  And do
this again, if needed.

This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add      -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove   -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device

hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim).  read operation performed
on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
error status.

Usage example:
	# add a new specific zram device
	cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
	2

	# remove a specific zram device
	echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove

Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)

	cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
	cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory

NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at least
zram0 device gets always created by zram_init(). Preserve this behavior.

Sergey Senozhatsky f405c445a4 zram: close race by open overriding
[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]

Commit ba6b17d68c ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
and reset.  At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
so it was okay.

However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.

	CPU 0

echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
  -> kernfs->s_active(A)
    -> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B)

	CPU 1

echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove
  ->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B)
  -> sysfs_remove_group
    -> kernfs->s_active(A)

IOW, AB -> BA deadlock

The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.

To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.

This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

Sergey Senozhatsky 92ff152887 zram: return zram device_id from zram_add()
This patch prepares zram to enable on-demand device creation.
zram_add() performs automatic device_id assignment and returns
new device id (>= 0) or error code (< 0).
