Linus Torvalds 48efe453e6 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations
  (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the
  addition of new fabric independent features to target-core
  (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY).

  The main highlights include:

   - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual
     network portals
   - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter)
   - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for
     descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list
   - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA
     pre-allocation for descriptors
   - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet)
     emulation for virtual backend drivers
   - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for
     virtual backend drivers.
   - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu)

  The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of
  particular significance, which make us the first and only open source
  target to support the full set of VAAI primitives.

  Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually
  utilize these primitives.  However, with server side support now in
  place for folks like MKP + ZAB working on the client, this logic once
  reserved for the highest end of storage arrays, can now be run in VMs
  on their laptops"

Kent Overstreet 798ab48eec idr: Percpu ida
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works),
it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all
nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist
where the current job can't get to them.

We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least
(nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many
cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if
enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags
stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to
steal from.

Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because
steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy
more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our
guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think
it's worth the extra code.

From akpm:

    "It looks OK to me (that's as close as I get to an ack :))

v6 changes:
  - Add #include <linux/cpumask.h> to include/linux/percpu_ida.h to
    make alpha/arc builds happy (Fengguang)
  - Move second (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) check inside of first check scope
    in steal_tags() (akpm + nab)

v5 changes:
  - Change percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags to cpumask_t (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for percpu_ida_cpu->lock + ->nr_free (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert steal_tags() to use cpumask_weight() + cpumask_next() +
    cpumask_first() + cpumask_clear_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for alloc_global_tags() (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert percpu_ida_alloc() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert percpu_ida_free() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags allocation in percpu_ida_init()
    (kmo + akpm)
  - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags kfree in percpu_ida_destroy()
    (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for percpu_ida_alloc @ gfp (kmo + akpm)
  - Move to percpu_ida.c + percpu_ida.h (kmo + akpm + nab)

v4 changes:

  - Fix tags.c reference in percpu_ida_init (akpm)

Chanho Min c72ac7a1a9 lib: add lz4 compressor module
This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using
it.

As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing
speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access.  We can use
lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well.  Also, It will be useful
for another potential user of lz4 compression.

lz4 Compression Benchmark:
Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4
ARMv7, 1 GHz based board
   Kernel: linux 3.4
   Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB
         Compressed Size  compression Speed
   LZO   72.1MB		  32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA)
   LZ4   75.1MB		  30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA)
   LZ4HC 59.8MB		   2.4MB/s,  2.5MB/s(UA)
- UA: Unaligned memory Access support
- Latest patch set for LZO applied

This patch:

Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel.  LZ4 Compression APIs
for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed
for kernel coding style.

LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html
LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
svn revision : r90

Two APIs are added:

lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress()
support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression
ratio get higher.  Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with
the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of
lz4_compressbound.

  The usual usage is relatively straight-forward although async kill

  There also are some interface concerns - e.g.  I'm not sure about
  passing in @relesae callback during init as that becomes funny when we
  later implement synchronous kill_and_drain - but nothing too serious
  and it's quite useable now.

  cgroup_subsys_state refcnting has already been converted and we should

Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to

Kent Overstreet 215e262f2a percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.

It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts.  Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).

It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.

That function is only present with CONFIG_NET.  Turns out that

In addition, commit 6d4f0139d6 added
CONFIG_NET dependency to CONFIG_VMCI for memcpy_toiovec, so hoist
that function and revert that commit too.

socket.h already includes uio.h, so no callers need updating; trying

Stephen Boyd 446f24d119 Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

Oleg Nesterov a1fd3e24d8 percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarily
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely.  Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.

With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.

percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.

Also.  With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

  On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for

 Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some

Michel Lespinasse fff3fd8a12 rbtree: add prio tree and interval tree tests
Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented
rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of
interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are
slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x)
on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have
not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees
would still come out faster.

Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic,
and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree.

Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use
a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here
because the intervals are always non-overlapping.

Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library.

Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now
providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be
inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement
for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost
as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals;
however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented
rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree.

I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to
replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now.  One of
the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding
code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval
trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm.  prio
trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap'
constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case
complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio
tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches,
N=number of intervals).  Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees
don't realize this theorical benefit.  First, the additional constraint
makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to
simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always
ideal.  Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties
makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a
higher multiplicative time constant.  As it turns out, the simple interval
tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree.

This patch:

Add two test modules:

- prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for
  insertion/removal and for stabbing searches

- interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent
  functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support.

In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is
introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file
for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage
over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit,
and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality
could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

David Howells 42d5ec27f8 X.509: Add an ASN.1 decoder
Add an ASN.1 BER/DER/CER decoder.  This uses the bytecode from the ASN.1
compiler in the previous patch to inform it as to what to expect to find in the
encoded byte stream.  The output from the compiler also tells it what functions
to call on what tags, thus allowing the caller to retrieve information.

The decoder is called as follows:

	int asn1_decoder(const struct asn1_decoder *decoder,
			 void *context,
			 const unsigned char *data,
			 size_t datalen);

The decoder argument points to the bytecode from the ASN.1 compiler.  context
is the caller's context and is passed to the action functions.  data and
datalen define the byte stream to be decoded.

Note that the decoder is currently limited to datalen being less than 64K.
This reduces the amount of stack space used by the decoder because ASN.1 is a
nested construct.  Similarly, the decoder is limited to a maximum of 10 levels
of constructed data outside of a leaf node also in an effort to keep stack
usage down.

These restrictions can be raised if necessary.

Implement a simple static OID registry that allows the mapping of an encoded
OID to an enum value for ease of use.

The OID registry index enum appears in the:

	linux/oid_registry.h

header file.  A script generates the registry from lines in the header file
that look like:

	<sp*>OID_foo,<sp*>/*<sp*>1.2.3.4<sp*>*/

The actual OID is taken to be represented by the numbers with interpolated
dots in the comment.

All other lines in the header are ignored.

The registry is queries by calling:

	OID look_up_oid(const void *data, size_t datasize);

This returns a number from the registry enum representing the OID if found or
OID__NR if not.

Akinobu Mita 9579f5bd31 memory: memory notifier error injection module
This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to memory hotplug
notifier chain callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface
under /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory

If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

Example: Inject memory hotplug offline error (-12 == -ENOMEM)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/memory
	# echo -12 > actions/MEM_GOING_OFFLINE/error
	# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state

Akinobu Mita 048b9c3549 PM: PM notifier error injection module
This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to PM notifier chain
callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pm

Each of the files in "error" directory represents an event which can be
failed and contains the error code.  If the notifier call chain should be
failed with some events notified, write the error code to the files.

If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

Example: Inject PM suspend error (-12 = -ENOMEM)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/pm
	# echo -12 > actions/PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE/error
	# echo mem > /sys/power/state

Akinobu Mita 8d43828814 fault-injection: notifier error injection
This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
the following notifier chain callbacks.

 * CPU notifier
 * PM notifier
 * memory hotplug notifier
 * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier

Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
  # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
module is available.

This patch:

The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
errors to specified notifier chain callbacks.  It is useful to test the
error handling of notifier call chain failures.

This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
should be returned and which event should be failed.

Akinobu Mita 639b9e34f1 string: introduce memweight()
memweight() is the function that counts the total number of bits set in
memory area.  Unlike bitmap_weight(), memweight() takes pointer and size
in bytes to specify a memory area which does not need to be aligned to
long-word boundary.

David Daney ab25383983 of/lib: Allow scripts/dtc/libfdt to be used from kernel code
libfdt is part of the device tree support in scripts/dtc/libfdt.  For
some platforms that use the Device Tree, we want to be able to edit
the flattened device tree form.

We don't want to burden kernel builds that do not require it, so we
gate compilation of libfdt files with CONFIG_LIBFDT.  So if it is
needed, you need to do this in your Kconfig:

	select LIBFDT

And in the Makefile of the code using libfdt something like:

ccflags-y := -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt

Jan Kara f3109a51f8 lib: Proportions with flexible period
Implement code computing proportions of events of different type (like code in
lib/proportions.c) but allowing periods to have different lengths. This allows
us to have aging periods of fixed wallclock time which gives better proportion
estimates given the hugely varying throughput of different devices - previous
measuring of aging period by number of events has the problem that a reasonable
period length for a system with low-end USB stick is not a reasonable period
length for a system with high-end storage array resulting either in too slow
proportion updates or too fluctuating proportion updates.

Linus Torvalds 1e2aec873a Merge branch 'generic-string-functions'
This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of
allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their
work a word at a time.

David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified
it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically
useful.  This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic
version, completing the circle.

But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that
it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty
much most random string functions.

David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported
that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too.  It's pretty
easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their
private versions with the generic code.

* generic-string-functions:
  sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
  x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
  lib: add generic strnlen_user() function
  word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic
  x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

Linus Torvalds a08c5356a3 lib: add generic strnlen_user() function
This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the
<asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure to portably do efficient string
handling.

In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we
can always pre-align the words we load from memory.  That means that all
the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily
be used on any architecture.  You obviously do have to do the
appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros.

 "This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures

  For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run,
  and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to
  sparc's user_addr_max() definition.  Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP
  was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-)

  From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common
  alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked
  our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."
