KOSAKI Motohiro 37b23e0525 x86,mm: make pagefault killable
When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the
following two points.

	1) __alloc_pages_nodemask
	2) __lock_page_or_retry

1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation
failure and getting out from page allocator.

2) is more problematic.  In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have
page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO
performance.  When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly,
meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the
oom-killer killing it.  Then, the system may become livelocked.

This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.

Linus Torvalds 268bb0ce3e sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage
Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

Andrea Arcangeli a79e53d856 x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock
It's forbidden to take the page_table_lock with the irq disabled
or if there's contention the IPIs (for tlb flushes) sent with
the page_table_lock held will never run leading to a deadlock.

Nobody takes the pgd_lock from irq context so the _irqsave can be
removed.

Andrey Vagin f86268549f x86/mm: Handle mm_fault_error() in kernel space
mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault
occurs in kernel space.  E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user().

This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a
copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults.

Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.

With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().

The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().

This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,
tile, ...

Michel Lespinasse d065bd810b mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.

It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.

It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.

Tests:

- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
  to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
  mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
  before, 15000 iterations/s after.

- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
  significant performance regressions when running without this change.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 617d34d9e5 x86, mm: Hold mm->page_table_lock while doing vmalloc_sync
Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region.  This prevents
a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the
page_table_lock is already held.  If this race occurs, then Xen can see
an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable
page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either
the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel.

vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of
page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users.

The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't
be otherwise used for pgds.

Frederic Weisbecker ebc8827f75 x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI
In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.

But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
copy_from,to_user() calls on review.

Linus Torvalds 9605456919 x86: don't send SIGBUS for kernel page faults
It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the
fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS.  When
we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the
fixups, not some user-level signal handler.

Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out
kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a
SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Roland Dreier a1a08d1cb0 x86: Remove spurious printk level from segfault message
Since commit 5fd29d6c ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels
and newlines"), the kernel logs segfaults like:

    <6>gnome-power-man[24509]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f9d4950465a sp 00007fffbb50fc70 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2103.0[7f9d494f7000+45000]

with the extra "<6>" being KERN_INFO.  This happens because the
printk in show_signal_msg() started with KERN_CONT and then
used "%s" to pass in the real level; and KERN_CONT is no longer
an empty string, and printk only pays attention to the level at
the very beginning of the format string.

Therefore, remove the KERN_CONT from this printk, since it is
now actively causing problems (and never really made any
sense).

Use pgtable access helpers for 32-bit version dump_pagetable()
and get rid of __typeof__() operators. This needs to make
pmd_pfn() available for 2-level pgtable.

Linus Torvalds d06063cc22 Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers
This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault().  All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

Ingo Molnar 5dfaf90f80 x86: mm: Read cr2 before prefetching the mmap_lock
Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain
models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped
and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve
them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault.

There is one small path of code where we must not take faults
though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading
of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there
then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching
instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or
kernel-space pagefaults.

It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that:

	prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem);

	/* Get the faulting address: */
	address = read_cr2();

This is not good.

So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch
the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so
delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue
performance-wise.

[ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes
  occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have -
  which does have such prefetch problems. ]

Vegard Nossum f85612967c x86: add hooks for kmemcheck
The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
  the instruction that caused the page fault)

Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.

(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)

As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

Ingo Molnar cd1b68f08f x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUS
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit

Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(),
which we only do on 32 bits.

This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth
giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our
existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious
fault.

The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case
we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on
32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice.

So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef.

Ingo Molnar 1cc99544dd x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handling
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit

Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
oops.

It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
end of pagefault triggered oopses:

 	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
digital-camera jpegs ;-)

The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
function a lot nicer read.
