Michal Hocko 688eb988d1 vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcg
Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg
(origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory
reclaim.  This behavior was consistent (except for difference between
global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be
consistent within each memcg hierarchy.

After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone.
This can lead to an unexpected behavior.  Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.

From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon
vs.
 file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike
charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied
to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes
from.

This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into
the scan_control structure.  mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to
provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called.  The global
vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

Rik van Riel 722773afd8 sysrq,rcu: suppress RCU stall warnings while sysrq runs
Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot of
data onto a serial console.  Having RCU stall warnings pop up in the
middle of them only makes the problem worse.

This patch temporarily disables RCU stall warnings while a sysrq request
is handled.

Rik van Riel 984d74a720 sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq
Echoing values into /proc/sysrq-trigger seems to be a popular way to get
information out of the kernel.  However, dumping information about
thousands of processes, or hundreds of CPUs to serial console can result
in IRQs being blocked for minutes, resulting in various kinds of cascade
failures.

The most common failure is due to interrupts being blocked for a very
long time.  This can lead to things like failed IO requests, and other
things the system cannot easily recover from.

This problem is easily fixable by making __handle_sysrq use RCU instead
of spin_lock_irqsave.

This leaves the warning that RCU grace periods have not elapsed for a
long time, but the system will come back from that automatically.

It also leaves sysrq-from-irq-context when the sysrq keys are pressed,
but that is probably desired since people want that to work in
situations where the system is already hosed.

The callers of register_sysrq_key and unregister_sysrq_key appear to be
capable of sleeping.

Manfred Spraul 9b44ee2eef ipc/sem.c: add a printk_once for semctl(GETNCNT/GETZCNT)
The actual Linux implementation for semctl(GETNCNT) and semctl(GETZCNT)
always (since 0.99.10) reported a thread as sleeping on all semaphores
that are listed in the semop() call.

The documented behavior (both in the Linux man page and in the Single
Unix Specification) is that a task should be reported on exactly one
semaphore: The semaphore that caused the thread to got to sleep.

This patch adds a pr_info_once() that is triggered if a thread hits the
relevant case.

The code triggers slightly too often, otherwise it would be necessary to
replicate the old code.  As there are no known users of GETNCNT or
GETZCNT, this is done to prevent unnecessary bloat.

The task that triggered is reported with name (tsk->comm) and pid.

Manfred Spraul b220c57aec ipc/sem.c: make semctl(,,{GETNCNT,GETZCNT}) standard compliant
SUSv4 clearly defines how semncnt and semzcnt must be calculated: A task
waits on exactly one semaphore: The semaphore from the first operation
in the sop array that cannot proceed.

The Linux implementation never followed the standard, it tried to count
all semaphores that might be the reason why a task sleeps.

This patch fixes that.

Note:
a) The implementation assumes that GETNCNT and GETZCNT are rare operations,
   therefore the code counts them only on demand.
   (If they wouldn't be rare, then the non-compliance would have
   been found earlier)

b) compared to the initial version of the patch, the BUG_ONs were removed
   and it was clarified that the new behavior conforms to SUS.

Back-compatibility concerns:

Manfred:

: - there is no application in Fedora that uses GETNCNT or GETZCNT.
:
: - application that use only single-sop semop() are also safe, the
:   difference only affects complex apps.
:
: - portable application are also safe, the new behavior is standard
:   compliant.
:
: But that's it.  The old behavior existed in Linux from 0.99.something
: until now.

Michael:

: * These operations seem to be very little used.  Grepping the public
:   source that is contained Fedora 20 source DVD, there appear to be no
:   uses.  Of course, this says nothing about uses in private /
:   non-mainstream FOSS code, but it seems likely that the same pattern
:   is followed there.
:
: * The existing behavior is hard enough to understand that I suspect
:   that no one understood it well enough to rely on it anyway
:   (especially as that behavior contradicted both man page and POSIX).
:
: So, there's a chance of breakage, but I estimate that it's minute.

Manfred Spraul 060028bac9 ipc/shm.c: increase the defaults for SHMALL, SHMMAX
System V shared memory

a) can be abused to trigger out-of-memory conditions and the standard
   measures against out-of-memory do not work:

    - it is not possible to use setrlimit to limit the size of shm segments.

    - segments can exist without association with any processes, thus
      the oom-killer is unable to free that memory.

b) is typically used for shared information - today often multiple GB.
   (e.g. database shared buffers)

The current default is a maximum segment size of 32 MB and a maximum
total size of 8 GB.  This is often too much for a) and not enough for
b), which means that lots of users must change the defaults.

This patch increases the default limits (nearly) to the maximum, which
is perfect for case b).  The defaults are used after boot and as the
initial value for each new namespace.

Admins/distros that need a protection against a) should reduce the
limits and/or enable shm_rmid_forced.

Unix has historically required setting these limits for shared memory,
and Linux inherited such behavior.  The consequence of this is added
complexity for users and administrators.  One very common example are
Database setup/installation documents and scripts, where users must
manually calculate the values for these limits.  This also requires
(some) knowledge of how the underlying memory management works, thus
causing, in many occasions, the limits to just be flat out wrong.
Disabling these limits sooner could have saved companies a lot of time,
headaches and money for support.  But it's never too late, simplify
users life now.

Further notes:
- The patch only changes default, overrides behave as before:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=33554432
  would recreate the previous limit for SHMMAX (for the current namespace).

- Disabling sysv shm allocation is possible with:
        # sysctl kernel.shmall=0
  (not a new feature, also per-namespace)

- The limits are intentionally set to a value slightly less than ULONG_MAX,
  to avoid triggering overflows in user space apps.

Manfred Spraul 247a8ce822 ipc/shm.c: check for ulong overflows in shmat
The increase of SHMMAX/SHMALL is a 4 patch series.

The change itself is trivial, the only problem are interger overflows.
The overflows are not new, but if we make huge values the default, then
the code should be free from overflows.

SHMMAX:

- shmmem_file_setup places a hard limit on the segment size:
  MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.

  On 32-bit, the limit is > 1 TB, i.e. 4 GB-1 byte segments are
  possible. Rounded up to full pages the actual allocated size
  is 0. --> must be fixed, patch 3

- shmat:
  - find_vma_intersection does not handle overflows properly.
    --> must be fixed, patch 1

  - the rest is fine, do_mmap_pgoff limits mappings to TASK_SIZE
    and checks for overflows (i.e.: map 2 GB, starting from
    addr=2.5GB fails).

SHMALL:
- after creating 8192 segments size (1L<<63)-1, shm_tot overflows and
  returns 0.  --> must be fixed, patch 2.

Userspace:
- Obviously, there could be overflows in userspace. There is nothing
  we can do, only use values smaller than ULONG_MAX.
  I ended with "ULONG_MAX - 1L<<24":

  - TASK_SIZE cannot be used because it is the size of the current
    task. Could be 4G if it's a 32-bit task on a 64-bit kernel.

  - The maximum size is not standardized across archs:
    I found TASK_MAX_SIZE, TASK_SIZE_MAX and TASK_SIZE_64.

  - Just in case some arch revives a 4G/4G split, nearly
    ULONG_MAX is a valid segment size.

  - Using "0" as a magic value for infinity is even worse, because
    right now 0 means 0, i.e. fail all allocations.

This patch (of 4):

find_vma_intersection() does not work as intended if addr+size overflows.
The patch adds a manual check before the call to find_vma_intersection.

Mathias Krause eb66ec44f8 ipc: constify ipc_ops
There is no need to recreate the very same ipc_ops structure on every
kernel entry for msgget/semget/shmget.  Just declare it static and be
done with it.  While at it, constify it as we don't modify the structure
at runtime.

Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

Paul Bolle 3e4e0f0a87 initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice
Commit 9ba4bcb645 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs
compression") removed the users of the various INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_*
Kconfig symbols.  So since v3.13 the entire "Built-in initramfs
compression mode" choice is a set of knobs connected to nothing.  The
entire choice can safely be removed.

- Define pr_fmt in plateform.c and ram_core.c for global prefix.

- Coalesce format fragments.

- Separate format/arguments on lines > 80 characters.

Note: Some pr_foo() were initially declared without prefix and therefore
this could break existing log analyzer.
