Commit 17c2895 ("arm64: Abstract syscallno manipulation") abstracts
out the pt_regs.syscallno value for a syscall cancelled by a tracer
as NO_SYSCALL, and provides helpers to set and check for this
condition. However, the way this was implemented has the
unintended side-effect of disabling part of the syscall restart
logic.
This comes about because the second in_syscall() check in
do_signal() re-evaluates the "in a syscall" condition based on the
updated pt_regs instead of the original pt_regs. forget_syscall()
is explicitly called prior to the second check in order to prevent
restart logic in the ret_to_user path being spuriously triggered,
which means that the second in_syscall() check always yields false.
This triggers a failure in
tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c, when using ptrace to
suppress a signal that interrups a nanosleep() syscall.
Misbehaviour of this type is only expected in the case where a
tracer suppresses a signal and the target process is either being
single-stepped or the interrupted syscall attempts to restart via
-ERESTARTBLOCK.
This patch restores the old behaviour by performing the
in_syscall() check only once at the start of the function.

Due to the autofs4 module using a file system type name of autofs
different from the module containing directory name autoload did not
function properly. To work around this kernel configurations have often
elected to build the module into the kernel.
This can result in selinux policies that prohibit autoloading of the
autofs module which need to be changed.
Add a comment about this to "possible changes" section of the autofs4
module help.

percpu_ida() decouples disabling interrupts from the locking operations.
This breaks some assumptions if the locking operations are replaced like
they are under -RT.
The same locking can be achieved by avoiding local_irq_save() and using
spin_lock_irqsave() instead. percpu_ida_alloc() gains one more preemption
point because after unlocking the fastpath and before the pool lock is
acquired, the interrupts are briefly enabled.

Improve the scalability of the IDA by using the per-IDA xa_lock rather

* Test lookup in /proc/self/fd.
"map_files" lookup story showed that lookup is not that simple.
* Test that all those symlinks open the same file.
Check with (st_dev, st_info).
* Test that kernel threads do not have anything in their /proc/*/fd/
directory.
Now this is where things get interesting.
First, kernel threads aren't pinned by /proc/self or equivalent,
thus some "atomicity" is required.
Second, ->comm can contain whitespace and ')'.
No, they are not escaped.
Third, the only reliable way to check if process is kernel thread
appears to be field #9 in /proc/*/stat.
This field is struct task_struct::flags in decimal!
Check is done by testing PF_KTHREAD flags like we do in kernel.
PF_KTREAD value is a part of userspace ABI !!!
Other methods for determining kernel threadness are not reliable:
* RSS can be 0 if everything is swapped, even while reading
from /proc/self.
* ->total_vm CAN BE ZERO if process is finishing
munmap(NULL, whole address space);
* /proc/*/maps and similar files can be empty because unmapping
everything works. Read returning 0 can't distinguish between
kernel thread and such suicide process.

"rv" variable is used both as a counter of bytes transferred and an
error value holder but it can be reduced solely to error values if
original start of userspace buffer is stashed and used at the very end.

"final" variable is OK but we can get away with less lines.

access_remote_vm() doesn't return negative errors, it returns number of
bytes read/written (0 if error occurs). This allows to delete some
comparisons which never trigger.
Reuse "nr_read" variable while I'm at it.

When commit bd33ef3681 ("mm: enable page poisoning early at boot") got
rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON, page_is_poisoned in the header left
behind. This patch cleans up the leftovers under the table.

The LKP robot found a 27% will-it-scale/page_fault3 performance
regression regarding commit e27be240df53("mm: memcg: make sure
memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers").
What the test does is:
1 mkstemp() a 128M file on a tmpfs;
2 start $nr_cpu processes, each to loop the following:
2.1 mmap() this file in shared write mode;
2.2 write 0 to this file in a PAGE_SIZE step till the end of the file;
2.3 unmap() this file and repeat this process.
3 After 5 minutes, check how many loops they managed to complete, the
higher the better.
The commit itself looks innocent enough as it merely changed some event
counting mechanism and this test didn't trigger those events at all.
Perf shows increased cycles spent on accessing root_mem_cgroup->stat_cpu
in count_memcg_event_mm()(called by handle_mm_fault()) and in
__mod_memcg_state() called by page_add_file_rmap(). So it's likely due
to the changed layout of 'struct mem_cgroup' that either make stat_cpu
falling into a constantly modifying cacheline or some hot fields stop
being in the same cacheline.
I verified this by moving memory_events[] back to where it was:
: --- a/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: +++ b/include/linux/memcontrol.h
: @@ -205,7 +205,6 @@ struct mem_cgroup {
: int oom_kill_disable;
:
: /* memory.events */
: - atomic_long_t memory_events[MEMCG_NR_MEMORY_EVENTS];

And performance restored.
Later investigation found that as long as the following 3 fields
moving_account, move_lock_task and stat_cpu are in the same cacheline,
performance will be good. To avoid future performance surprise by other
commits changing the layout of 'struct mem_cgroup', this patch makes
sure the 3 fields stay in the same cacheline.
One concern of this approach is, moving_account and move_lock_task could
be modified when a process changes memory cgroup while stat_cpu is a
always read field, it might hurt to place them in the same cacheline. I
assume it is rare for a process to change memory cgroup so this should
be OK.

kvmalloc warned about incompatible gfp_mask to catch abusers (mostly
GFP_NOFS) with an intention that this will motivate authors of the code
to fix those. Linus argues that this just motivates people to do even
more hacks like
if (gfp == GFP_KERNEL)
kvmalloc
else
kmalloc
I haven't seen this happening much (Linus pointed to bucket_lock special
cases an atomic allocation but my git foo hasn't found much more) but it
is true that we can grow those in future. Therefore Linus suggested to
simply not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags and rather
stick with the kmalloc path.
