When reporting a regression, users ideally should CC the subsystem and
its maintainers, as that will ensure they get aware of the regression
quickly. And if the culprit is known, they should also CC everyone who
signed if off; the text mentioned the latter in once place already, but
forgot to do so in two other areas where it's relevant.
While fixing this also remind readers to check the mailing list archives
for issues that need to be reported to a bug tracker, as someone might
have reported it by mail only.
All of this got triggered by a recent report where these changes would
have made a difference.

Make people CC the recently created mailing list dedicated to Linux
kernel regressions when reporting one. Some paragraphs had to be
reshuffled and slightly rewritten during the process, as the text
otherwise would have gotten unnecessarily hard to follow.

A pile of small fixes:
- don't quote terms like vanilla, mainline, and stable, unless in they
occur in places where readers new to the kernel might see them for the
first time
- make people rule out that vendor patches are interfering if they face
a regression in a stable or longterm kernel they saw in a vendor
kernel for the first time
- s/bugs/issues/ in a selected spots
- exchange two headlines that got mixed up somehow
- add a few links to some of the steps in the guide
- Greg mentioned sending reports to the stable mailing list is
sufficient, so remove the "CC stable maintainers" bits
- fix a few typos and mistakes in the text, with a few very small
improvements along the way

Make the TLDR a bit shorter while improving it at the same time by going
straight to the aspects readers are more interested it. The change makes
the process especially more straight-forward for people that hit a
regression in a stable or longterm kernel. Due to the changes the TLDR
now also matches the step by step guide better.

Remove the WIP and two FIXME notes in the text to make it official, as
it's now considered fully ready for consumption. To make sure this
step is okay for people the intent of this change and the latest version
of the text were posted to ksummit-discuss; nobody complained, thus
lets move ahead.
Add a footer to point out people can contact Thorsten directly in case
they find something to improve in the text.
Dear reporting-bugs.rst, I'm sorry to tell you, but that makes you fully
obsolete and we thus have to let you go now. Thank you very much for

Provide a shorter and easier process for users that deal with
regressions in stable and longterm kernels, as those should be reported
quickly.
To realize this in the least-confusing way and without having steps
multiple times in different places, split the 'search for existing
reports' into two. That has the additinal benefit that users will search
for them quickly when going through the step by step guide and thus will
save them trouble if the find reports.

Tell users that reporting bugs with vendor kernels which are only
slightly patched can be okay in some situations, but point out there's a
risk in doing so.
Adjust some related sections to make them compatible and a bit clearer.
At the same time make them less daunting: we want users to report bugs,
even if they can't test vanilla mainline kernel.

Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot. So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.
The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on. Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable. By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.
With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can
easily query the value at runtime. Reshuffle the members to optimize the
memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for
and why it's legacy nowadays.
"phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3],
back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced
by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain
lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux
on s390x [4].
"phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit
3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in
2005. It always returned 0.
s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set
by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set
phys_device").
For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to
the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices
comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could
actually be removed in the hypervisor.
Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide
memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans
at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really
helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools).
There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context;
however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces
[1].

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl.
Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the
documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't
match the bits in the #defines.
The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is,
however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The
RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine.
But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got
changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean
one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change
from kernel to kernel.
The end result is that if someone had a script that did:
sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1
it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages
to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question.
That's not great.
Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like
this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it
clear that the first bit is ignored.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache
represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the
swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the
swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup
v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters.
Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a
workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap.
Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more
control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the
workload.
With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the
sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw
usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache
stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and
subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will
help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw
usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters.
The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate
memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two
separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more
simple to use and reason about for them.
(2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from
the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a
datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will
keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

In commit 9669f51de5c0 I tried to get rid of the undocumented cow gc
lifetime knob. The knob's function was never documented and it now
doesn't really have a function since eof and cow gc have been
consolidated.
Regrettably, xfs/231 relies on it and regresses on for-next. I did not
succeed at getting far enough through fstests patch review for the fixup
to land in time.
Restore the sysctl knob, document what it did (does?), put it on the
deprecation schedule, and rip out a redundant function.

Pull driver core / debugfs update from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs update for 5.12-rc1
This set of driver core patches caused a bunch of problems in
linux-next for the past few weeks, when Saravana tried to set
fw_devlink=on as the default functionality. This caused a number of
systems to stop booting, and lots of bugs were fixed in this area for
almost all of the reported systems, but this option is not ready to be
turned on just yet for the default operation based on this testing, so
I've reverted that change at the very end so we don't have to worry
about regressions in 5.12
We will try to turn this on for 5.13 if testing goes better over the
next few months.
Other than the fixes caused by the fw_devlink testing in here, there's
not much more:
- debugfs fixes for invalid input into debugfs_lookup()
- kerneldoc cleanups
- warn message if platform drivers return an error on their remove
callback (a futile effort, but good to catch).

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs
- Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer
two-parameter sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended
for Golden Cove CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction
latency and the cache latency information for memory profiling
events.
- Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing
support that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is
hopelessly broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on
this, as it would only end in tears.
- Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms
- Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic
- Misc smaller fixes.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
utilization metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can
result in too high utilization values
Misc updates & fixes:
- Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature
- Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code
- Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead
- Fix uprobes refcount bug
- Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()

USER_PRIO()
- Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort
- Documentation updates
- Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality
of energy-balancing

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"There's a lot going on this time, which seems about right for this
drama-filled year.
Community developers added some code to speed up freezing when
read-only workloads are still running, refactored the logging code,
added checks to prevent file extent counter overflow, reduced iolock
cycling to speed up fsync and gc scans, and started the slow march
towards supporting filesystem shrinking.
There's a huge refactoring of the internal speculative preallocation
garbage collection code which fixes a bunch of bugs, makes the gc
scheduling per-AG and hence multithreaded, and standardizes the retry
logic when we try to reserve space or quota, can't, and want to
trigger a gc scan. We also enable multithreaded quotacheck to reduce
mount times further. This is also preparation for background file gc,
which may or may not land for 5.13.
We also fixed some deadlocks in the rename code, fixed a quota
accounting leak when FSSETXATTR fails, restored the behavior that
write faults to an mmap'd region actually cause a SIGBUS, fixed a bug
where sgid directory inheritance wasn't quite working properly, and
fixed a bug where symlinks weren't working properly in ecryptfs. We
also now advertise the inode btree counters feature that was
introduced two cycles ago.
Summary:
- Fix an ABBA deadlock when renaming files on overlayfs.
- Make sure that we can't overflow the inode extent counters when
adding to or removing extents from a file.
- Make directory sgid inheritance work the same way as all the other
filesystems.
- Don't drain the buffer cache on freeze and ro remount, which should
reduce the amount of time if read-only workloads are continuing
during the freeze.
- Fix a bug where symlink size isn't reported to the vfs in ecryptfs.
- Disentangle log cleaning from log covering. This refactoring sets
us up for future changes to the log, though for now it simply means
that we can use covering for freezes, and cleaning becomes
something we only do at unmount.
- Speed up file fsyncs by reducing iolock cycling.
- Fix delalloc blocks leaking when changing the project id fails
because of input validation errors in FSSETXATTR.
- Fix oversized quota reservation when converting unwritten extents
during a DAX write.
- Create a transaction allocation helper function to standardize the
idiom of allocating a transaction, reserving blocks, locking
inodes, and reserving quota. Replace all the open-coded logic for
file creation, file ownership changes, and file modifications to
use them.
- Actually shut down the fs if the incore quota reservations get
corrupted.
- Fix background block garbage collection scans to not block and to
actually clean out CoW staging extents properly.
- Run block gc scans when we run low on project quota.
- Use the standardized transaction allocation helpers to make it so
that ENOSPC and EDQUOT errors during reservation will back out,
invoke the block gc scanner, and try again. This is preparation for
introducing background inode garbage collection in the next cycle.
- Combine speculative post-EOF block garbage collection with
speculative copy on write block garbage collection.
- Enable multithreaded quotacheck.
- Allow sysadmins to tweak the CPU affinities and maximum concurrency
levels of quotacheck and background blockgc worker pools.
- Expose the inode btree counter feature in the fs geometry ioctl.
- Cleanups of the growfs code in preparation for starting work on
filesystem shrinking.
- Fix all the bloody gcc warnings that the maintainer knows about. :P
- Fix a RST syntax error.
- Don't trigger bmbt corruption assertions after the fs shuts down.
- Restore behavior of forcing SIGBUS on a shut down filesystem when
someone triggers a mmap write fault (or really, any buffered
write)"
