Tejun Heo f47ad45784 percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit
percpu_ref has treated the dropping of the base reference and
switching to atomic mode as an integral operation; however, there's
nothing inherent tying the two together.

The use cases for percpu_ref have been expanding continuously.  While
the current init/kill/reinit/exit model can cover a lot, the coupling
of kill/reinit with atomic/percpu mode switching is turning out to be
too restrictive for use cases where many percpu_refs are created and
destroyed back-to-back with only some of them reaching extended
operation.  The coupling also makes implementing always-atomic debug
mode difficult.

This patch separates out percpu mode switching into
percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() and reimplements percpu_ref_reinit() on
top of it.

* DEAD still requires ATOMIC.  A dead ref can't be switched to percpu
  mode w/o going through reinit.

v2: __percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() was missing static.  Fixed.

* The handling of __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is now
  differentiated.  Among get/put operations, percpu_ref_tryget_live()
  is the only one which cares about DEAD.

* percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() can be called multiple times on the
  same ref.  This means that multiple @confirm_switch may get queued
  up which we can't do reliably without extra memory area.  This is
  handled by making the later invocation synchronously wait for the
  completion of the previous one.  This isn't particularly desirable
  but such synchronous waits shouldn't happen in most cases.

Tejun Heo 27344a9017 percpu_ref: add PCPU_REF_DEAD
percpu_ref will be restructured so that percpu/atomic mode switching
and reference killing are dedoupled.  In preparation, add
PCPU_REF_DEAD and PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD which is OR of ATOMIC and DEAD.
For now, ATOMIC and DEAD are changed together and all PCPU_REF_ATOMIC
uses are converted to PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD without causing any
behavior changes.

percpu_ref_init() now specifies an explicit alignment when allocating
the percpu counters so that the pointer has enough unused low bits to
accomodate the flags.  Note that one flag was fine as min alignment
for percpu memory is 2 bytes but two flags are already too many for
the natural alignment of unsigned longs on archs like cris and m68k.

v2: The original patch had BUILD_BUG_ON() which triggers if unsigned
    long's alignment isn't enough to accomodate the flags, which
    triggered on cris and m64k.  percpu_ref_init() updated to specify
    the required alignment explicitly.  Reported by Fengguang.

Tejun Heo eecc16ba9a percpu_ref: replace pcpu_ prefix with percpu_
percpu_ref uses pcpu_ prefix for internal stuff and percpu_ for
externally visible ones.  This is the same convention used in the
percpu allocator implementation.  It works fine there but percpu_ref
doesn't have too much internal-only stuff and scattered usages of
pcpu_ prefix are confusing than helpful.

This patch replaces all pcpu_ prefixes with percpu_.  This is pure
rename and there's no functional change.  Note that PCPU_REF_DEAD is
renamed to __PERCPU_REF_DEAD to signify that the flag is internal.

Tejun Heo 0a30288da1 blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.

Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds
when scsi-mq is used.

This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep
q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however,
that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to
apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment).  As a
stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next
cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes
blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it.  This is heavy-handed but should work
for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

Linus Torvalds 98f75b8291 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) If the user gives us a msg_namelen of 0, don't try to interpret
    anything pointed to by msg_name.  From Ani Sinha.

 2) Fix some bnx2i/bnx2fc randconfig compilation errors.

    The gist of the issue is that we firstly have drivers that span both
    SCSI and networking.  And at the top of that chain of dependencies
    we have things like SCSI_FC_ATTRS and SCSI_NETLINK which are
    selected.

    But since select is a sledgehammer and ignores dependencies,
    everything to select's SCSI_FC_ATTRS and/or SCSI_NETLINK has to also
    explicitly select their dependencies and so on and so forth.

    Generally speaking 'select' is supposed to only be used for child
    nodes, those which have no dependencies of their own.  And this
    whole chain of dependencies in the scsi layer violates that rather
    strongly.

    So just make SCSI_NETLINK depend upon it's dependencies, and so on
    and so forth for the things selecting it (either directly or
    indirectly).

    From Anish Bhatt and Randy Dunlap.

 3) Fix generation of blackhole routes in IPSEC, from Steffen Klassert.

 4) Actually notice netdev feature changes in rtl_open() code, from
    Hayes Wang.

 5) Fix divide by zero in bond enslaving, from Nikolay Aleksandrov.

 9) Fix missing DMA error checking in 3c59x, from Neal Horman.

10) Openvswitch doesn't emit OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW notifications accidently,
    fix from Samuel Gauthier.

11) pch_gbe needs to select NET_PTP_CLASSIFY otherwise we can get a

13) Fix infiniband bug due to unintended overflow of skb->cb[], from

15) IP tunneling code uses this_cpu_ptr() in preemptible contexts, fix

Tejun Heo e625305b39 percpu-refcount: make percpu_ref based on longs instead of ints
percpu_ref is currently based on ints and the number of refs it can
cover is (1 << 31).  This makes it impossible to use a percpu_ref to
count memory objects or pages on 64bit machines as it may overflow.
This forces those users to somehow aggregate the references before
contributing to the percpu_ref which is often cumbersome and sometimes
challenging to get the same level of performance as using the
percpu_ref directly.

While using ints for the percpu counters makes them pack tighter on
64bit machines, the possible gain from using ints instead of longs is
extremely small compared to the overall gain from per-cpu operation.
This patch makes percpu_ref based on longs so that it can be used to
directly count memory objects or pages.

Aaron Tomlin 0d9e26329b sched: Add default-disabled option to BUG() when stack end location is overwritten
Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule()
does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is
often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted
region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined
and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be
handled.

This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate
action since the damage is already done, there is no point
in continuing.

Linus Torvalds 72d9310460 Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variable
It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
<asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.

This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.

NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong.  If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies.  This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

David Howells 95389b08d9 KEYS: Fix termination condition in assoc array garbage collection
This fixes CVE-2014-3631.

It is possible for an associative array to end up with a shortcut node at the
root of the tree if there are more than fan-out leaves in the tree, but they
all crowd into the same slot in the lowest level (ie. they all have the same
first nibble of their index keys).

When assoc_array_gc() returns back up the tree after scanning some leaves, it
can fall off of the root and crash because it assumes that the back pointer
from a shortcut (after label ascend_old_tree) must point to a normal node -
which isn't true of a shortcut node at the root.

Should we find we're ascending rootwards over a shortcut, we should check to
see if the backpointer is zero - and if it is, we have completed the scan.

This particular bug cannot occur if the root node is not a shortcut - ie. if
you have fewer than 17 keys in a keyring or if you have at least two keys that
sit into separate slots (eg. a keyring and a non keyring).

This can be reproduced by:

	ring=`keyctl newring bar @s`
	for ((i=1; i<=18; i++)); do last_key=`keyctl newring foo$i $ring`; done
	keyctl timeout $last_key 2

Doing this:

	echo 3 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay

first will speed things up.

If we do fall off of the top of the tree, we get the following oops:

Alexei Starovoitov 02ab695bb3 net: filter: add "load 64-bit immediate" eBPF instruction
add BPF_LD_IMM64 instruction to load 64-bit immediate value into a register.
All previous instructions were 8-byte. This is first 16-byte instruction.
Two consecutive 'struct bpf_insn' blocks are interpreted as single instruction:
insn[0].code = BPF_LD | BPF_DW | BPF_IMM
insn[0].dst_reg = destination register
insn[0].imm = lower 32-bit
insn[1].code = 0
insn[1].imm = upper 32-bit
All unused fields must be zero.

Classic BPF has similar instruction: BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_IMM
which loads 32-bit immediate value into a register.

x64 JITs it as single 'movabsq %rax, imm64'
arm64 may JIT as sequence of four 'movk x0, #imm16, lsl #shift' insn

Note that old eBPF programs are binary compatible with new interpreter.

It helps eBPF programs load 64-bit constant into a register with one
instruction instead of using two registers and 4 instructions:
BPF_MOV32_IMM(R1, imm32)
BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_LSH, R1, 32)
BPF_MOV32_IMM(R2, imm32)
BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_OR, R1, R2)

User space generated programs will use this instruction to load constants only.

To tell kernel that user space needs a pointer the _pseudo_ variant of
this instruction may be added later, which will use extra bits of encoding
to indicate what type of pointer user space is asking kernel to provide.
For example 'off' or 'src_reg' fields can be used for such purpose.
src_reg = 1 could mean that user space is asking kernel to validate and
load in-kernel map pointer.
src_reg = 2 could mean that user space needs readonly data section pointer
src_reg = 3 could mean that user space needs a pointer to per-cpu local data
All such future pseudo instructions will not be carrying the actual pointer
as part of the instruction, but rather will be treated as a request to kernel
to provide one. The kernel will verify the request_for_a_pointer, then
will drop _pseudo_ marking and will store actual internal pointer inside
the instruction, so the end result is the interpreter and JITs never
see pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insns and only operate on generic BPF_LD_IMM64 that
loads 64-bit immediate into a register. User space never operates on direct
pointers and verifier can easily recognize request_for_pointer vs other
instructions.

Tejun Heo a34375ef9e percpu-refcount: add @gfp to percpu_ref_init()
Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask.  Add @gfp to
percpu_ref_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used
with percpu_refs too.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

v2: blk-mq conversion was missing.  Updated.
