cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations

2023-03-05T22:30:34+00:00

Commit aa47a7c215e7 ("lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits") resulted in the cpumask operations potentially becoming hugely less efficient, because suddenly the cpumask was always considered to be variable-sized. The optimization was then later added back in a limited form by commit 6f9c07be9d02 ("lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option"), but that FORCE_NR_CPUS option is not useful in a generic kernel and more of a special case for embedded situations with fixed hardware. Instead, just re-introduce the optimization, with some changes. Instead of depending on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK being false, and then always using the full constant cpumask width, this introduces three different cpumask "sizes": - the exact size (nr_cpumask_bits) remains identical to nr_cpu_ids. This is used for situations where we should use the exact size. - the "small" size (small_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it fits in a single word and the bitmap operations thus end up able to trigger the "small_const_nbits()" optimizations. This is used for the operations that have optimized single-word cases that get inlined, notably the bit find and scanning functions. - the "large" size (large_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it is an sufficiently small constant that makes simple "copy" and "clear" operations more efficient. This is arbitrarily set at four words or less. As a an example of this situation, without this fixed size optimization, cpumask_clear() will generate code like movl nr_cpu_ids(%rip), %edx addq $63, %rdx shrq $3, %rdx andl $-8, %edx callq memset@PLT on x86-64, because it would calculate the "exact" number of longwords that need to be cleared. In contrast, with this patch, using a MAX_CPU of 64 (which is quite a reasonable value to use), the above becomes a single movq $0,cpumask instruction instead, because instead of caring to figure out exactly how many CPU's the system has, it just knows that the cpumask will be a single word and can just clear it all. Note that this does end up tightening the rules a bit from the original version in another way: operations that set bits in the cpumask are now limited to the actual nr_cpu_ids limit, whereas we used to do the nr_cpumask_bits thing almost everywhere in the cpumask code. But if you just clear bits, or scan for bits, we can use the simpler compile-time constants. In the process, remove 'cpumask_complement()' and 'for_each_cpu_not()' which were not useful, and which fundamentally have to be limited to 'nr_cpu_ids'. Better remove them now than have somebody introduce use of them later. Of course, on x86-64 with MAXSMP there is no sane small compile-time constant for the cpumask sizes, and we end up using the actual CPU bits, and will generate the above kind of horrors regardless. Please don't use MAXSMP unless you really expect to have machines with thousands of cores. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes from Al Viro: "Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case correctly: - handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY - there is a pending fatal signal - fault had happened in kernel mode Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and triggering the same fault again and again. What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that as failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one. Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling that case properly; some still do not. This series should fix the remaining ones. Status: - m68k, riscv, hexagon, parisc: tested/acked by maintainers. - alpha, sparc32, sparc64: tested locally - bug has been reproduced on the unpatched kernel and verified to be fixed by this series. - ia64, microblaze, nios2, openrisc: build, but otherwise completely untested" * tag 'pull-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: openrisc: fix livelock in uaccess nios2: fix livelock in uaccess microblaze: fix livelock in uaccess ia64: fix livelock in uaccess sparc: fix livelock in uaccess alpha: fix livelock in uaccess parisc: fix livelock in uaccess hexagon: fix livelock in uaccess riscv: fix livelock in uaccess m68k: fix livelock in uaccess

Remove Intel compiler support

2023-03-05T18:49:37+00:00

include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years. We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel. For example, commit a0a12c3ed057 ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") only mentioned GCC and Clang. init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC, and nobody has reported any issue. I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring about it. Harald Arnesen pointed out ICC (classic Intel C/C++ compiler) is deprecated: $ icc -v icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use '-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message. icc version 2021.7.0 (gcc version 12.1.0 compatibility) Arnd Bergmann provided a link to the article, "Intel C/C++ compilers complete adoption of LLVM". lib/zstd/common/compiler.h and lib/zstd/compress/zstd_fast.c were kept untouched for better sync with https://github.com/facebook/zstd Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/adoption-of-llvm-complete-icx.html Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ia64: fix livelock in uaccess

2023-03-02T17:32:27+00:00

ia64 equivalent of 26178ec11ef3 "x86: mm: consolidate VM_FAULT_RETRY handling" If e.g. get_user() triggers a page fault and a fatal signal is caught, we might end up with handle_mm_fault() returning VM_FAULT_RETRY and not doing anything to page tables. In such case we must *not* return to the faulting insn - that would repeat the entire thing without making any progress; what we need instead is to treat that as failed (user) memory access.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1. There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls into two different categories: - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices. Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems. - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are passing around and working with structures that really do not have to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort. Other than that we have in here: - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit codepaths. - cacheinfo rework and fixes - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems" [ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ] * tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (124 commits) debugfs: drop inline constant formatting for ERR_PTR(-ERROR) OPP: fix error checking in opp_migrate_dentry() debugfs: update comment of debugfs_rename() i3c: fix device.h kernel-doc warnings dma-mapping: no need to pass a bus_type into get_arch_dma_ops() driver core: class: move EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lines to the correct place Revert "driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node()" Revert "devtmpfs: add debug info to handle()" Revert "devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node()" driver core: cpu: don't hand-override the uevent bus_type callback. devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node() devtmpfs: add debug info to handle() driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node() driver core: bus: update my copyright notice driver core: bus: add bus_get_dev_root() function driver core: bus: constify bus_unregister() driver core: bus: constify some internal functions driver core: bus: constify bus_get_kset() driver core: bus: constify bus_register/unregister_notifier() driver core: remove private pointer from struct bus_type ...
