all arch: remove system call sys_sysctl

2020-08-15T02:56:56+00:00

Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"), sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error. We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years and believe there are no more users. Even if there are users of this interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any longer. So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates: - Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO implementation. S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled. S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers. S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an empty struct. Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to work from a common upstream base. - A trivial comment fix" * tag 'timers-urgent-2020-08-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: time: Delete repeated words in comments lib/vdso: Allow to add architecture-specific vdso data timekeeping/vsyscall: Provide vdso_update_begin/end() vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()

mm/arm: use general page fault accounting

2020-08-12T17:58:03+00:00

Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into handle_mm_fault(). It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault accounting when page fault retry happened. To do this, we need to pass the pt_regs pointer into __do_page_fault(). Fix PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf event manually for page fault retries, by moving it before taking mmap_sem.

mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault

2020-08-12T17:58:02+00:00

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5. This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/ What this series did: - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else) only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the perf events. - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf event is used in an adhoc way across different archs. Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults. Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page fault is resolved successfully. Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled this perf event. Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally. - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1. - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for gup. More information on this in patch 25. Patchset layout: Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled. Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one. Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.) Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more This patch (of 25): This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault(). PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault handlers. So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

syscalls: use uaccess_kernel in addr_limit_user_check

2020-08-12T17:57:58+00:00

Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2. In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers to force the kernel address limit. This patch (of 6): Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.
