If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global
devpts_mnt. A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index,
which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash.
Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead. Make
both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in
that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call
on /dev/ptmx.

Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit a992bf836f
("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the
existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)
Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.
Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N
value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other
gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

Commit f06e5153f4 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.
The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.
To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
in the condition of kexec_should_crash().
Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things
on this patch.

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153f4
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after
panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.
Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not
loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the
point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd
crash_kexec() does nothing.

Any parameter passed after '--' in the kernel command-line will not be
parsed by the kernel at all, instead it will be passed directly to init
process.
Currently the kernel appends elfcorehdr=<paddr> to the cmdline passed from
kexec load, and if this command-line is used to pass parameters to init
process this means that 'elfcorehdr' will not be parsed as a kernel
parameter at all which will be a problem for vmcore subsystem since it
will know nothing about the location of the ELF structure!
Prepending 'elfcorehdr' instead of appending it fixes this problem since
it ensures that it always comes before '--' and so it's always parsed as a
kernel command-line parameter.
Even with this patch things can still go wrong if 'CONFIG_CMDLINE' was
also used to embedd a command-line to the crash dump kernel and this
command-line contains '--' since the current behavior of the kernel is to
actually append the boot loader command-line to the embedded command-line.

A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to
seq_open(). Such feature is undocumented and prone to error.
In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will
kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open().
So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's
only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using
seq_open_private()/seq_release_private().
Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer
to struct seq_file by seq_open().
This patch (of 3):

[PATCH] allow callers of seq_open do allocation themselves
Allow caller of seq_open() to kmalloc() seq_file + whatever else they
want and set ->private_data to it. seq_open() will then abstain from
doing allocation itself.
Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common().
In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is
converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the
proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct
seq_file.
Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in
order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private().
Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access
to the proc_mounts structure.

Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when
struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise
memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch
creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It
then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter
is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and
also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the
initialisation.

Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this
patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel.
This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and
initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on
large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early
in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is
initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other
user-visibile effects.

memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory

pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early

is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.
After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
[ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms

Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.
Nate Zimmer said:
: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.
Waiman Long said:
: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system. From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).
Daniel Blueman said:
: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s. This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.
This patch (of 13):
As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.
This helper function will be used for that expansion.

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d03 and also reverts the portions that introduced the
KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation
is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.
The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86
configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.

4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
"region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
(disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this
driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM
windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The
sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely
ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an
application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
the usage of BTT is recommended.

Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current upstream
merge window. We have a good mixture this time. Here are some of the features:
1. Fix a problem with RO mounts writing to the journal.
2. Further improvements to quotas on GFS2.
3. Added support for rename2 and RENAME_EXCHANGE on GFS2.
4. Increase performance by making glock lru_list less of a bottleneck.
5. Increase performance by avoiding unnecessary buffer_head releases.
6. Increase performance by using average glock round trip time from all CPUs.
7. Fixes for some compiler warnings and minor white space issues.
8. Other misc. bug fixes

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Most of the changes are around implementing and fixing fallouts from
sysfs and internal interface to limit the CPUs available to all
unbound workqueues to help isolating CPUs. It needs more work as
ordered workqueues can roam unrestricted but still is a significant
improvement"
* 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: fix typos in comments
workqueue: move flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h
workqueue: remove the lock from wq_sysfs_prep_attrs()
workqueue: remove the declaration of copy_workqueue_attrs()
workqueue: ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized
workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs
workqueue: simplify wq_update_unbound_numa()
workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation
workqueue: fix a typo
workqueue: function name in the comment differs from the real function name
workqueue: fix trivial typo in Documentation/workqueue.txt
workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask
workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask
workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages
