2018-04-05mm, page_alloc: extend kernelcore and movablecore for percentDavid Rientjes
Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example. When the : amount of kernel memory is well bounded for certain systems, it is : better to aggressively reclaim from existing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks rather than eagerly fallback to others. : : We have additional patches that help with this fragmentation if you're : interested, specifically kcompactd compaction of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks triggered by fallback of non-__GFP_MOVABLE allocations and : draining of pcp lists back to the zone free area to prevent stranding.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann: "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers. I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

2018-03-30PCI/portdrv: Remove "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameterBjorn Helgaas
7570a333d8b0 ("PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp driver") added the "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter to work around this error on shutdown: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1 ... Disabling IRQ #16 This happened on an unspecified system (possibly involving the Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f bridge) where "an un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device." The implication was that the device was buggy, but it is normal for a device to use INTx after MSI/MSI-X have been disabled. The only problem was that the driver was still attached and it wasn't prepared for INTx interrupts. Prarit Bhargava fixed this issue with fda78d7a0ead ("PCI/MSI: Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown()"). There is no automated way to set this parameter, so it's not very useful for distributions or end users. It's really only useful for debugging, and we have "pci=nomsi" for that purpose.

2018-03-20usb: core: Add "quirks" parameter for usbcoreKai-Heng Feng
Trying quirks in usbcore needs to rebuild the driver or the entire kernel if it's builtin. It can save a lot of time if usbcore has similar ability like "usbhid.quirks=" and "usb-storage.quirks=". Rename the original quirk detection function to "static" as we introduce this new "dynamic" function. Now users can use "usbcore.quirks=" as short term workaround before the next kernel release. Also, the quirk parameter can XOR the builtin quirks for debugging purpose. This is inspired by usbhid and usb-storage.

2018-03-14irqchip/gic-v3: Allow LPIs to be disabled from the command lineMarc Zyngier
For most GICv3 implementations, enabling LPIs is a one way switch. Once they're on, there is no turning back, which completely kills kexec (pending tables will always be live, and we can't tell the secondary kernel where they are). This is really annoying if you plan to use Linux as a bootloader, as it pretty much guarantees that the secondary kernel won't be able to use MSIs, and may even see some memory corruption. Bad. A workaround for this unfortunate situation is to allow the kernel not to enable LPIs, even if the feature is present in the HW. This would allow Linux-as-a-bootloader to leave LPIs alone, and let the secondary kernel to do whatever it wants with them. Let's introduce a boolean "irqchip.gicv3_nolpi" command line option that serves that purpose. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

2018-03-09usb: core: Add "quirks" parameter for usbcoreKai-Heng Feng
Trying quirks in usbcore needs to rebuild the driver or the entire kernel if it's builtin. It can save a lot of time if usbcore has similar ability like "usbhid.quirks=" and "usb-storage.quirks=". Rename the original quirk detection function to "static" as we introduce this new "dynamic" function. Now users can use "usbcore.quirks=" as short term workaround before the next kernel release. Also, the quirk parameter can XOR the builtin quirks for debugging purpose. This is inspired by usbhid and usb-storage.

2018-03-06audit: do not panic on invalid boot parameterGreg Edwards
If you pass in an invalid audit boot parameter value, e.g. "audit=off", the kernel panics very early in boot before the regular console is initialized. Unless you have earlyprintk enabled, there is no indication of what the problem is on the console. Convert the panic() calls to pr_err(), and leave auditing enabled if an invalid parameter value was passed in. Modify the parameter to also accept "on" or "off" as valid values, and update the documentation accordingly.

Add a more versatile memmap= operator, which -- in addition to all the things that were possible before -- allows you to: - redeclare existing ranges -- before, you were limited to adding ranges; - drop any range -- like a mem= for any location; - use any e820 memory type -- not just some predefined ones. The syntax is: memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype> Size and offset work as usual. The "-<oldtype>" and "+<newtype>" are optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command works on the specified range of memory limited to type <oldtype> (if specified). This memory is then configured to show up as <newtype>. If <newtype> is not specified, the memory is removed from the e820 map. Signed-off-by: Jan H.

2018-02-07ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86Prarit Bhargava
SPCR is currently only enabled or ARM64 and x86 can use SPCR to setup an early console. General fixes include updating Documentation & Kconfig (for x86), updating comments, and changing parse_spcr() to acpi_parse_spcr(), and earlycon_init_is_deferred to earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable to be more descriptive. On x86, many systems have a valid SPCR table but the table version is not 2 so the table version check must be a warning. On ARM64 when the kernel parameter earlycon is used both the early console and console are enabled. On x86, only the earlycon should be enabled by by default. Modify acpi_parse_spcr() to allow options for initializing the early console and console separately.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

2018-01-31x86/paravirt: Remove 'noreplace-paravirt' cmdline optionJosh Poimboeuf
The 'noreplace-paravirt' option disables paravirt patching, leaving the original pv indirect calls in place. That's highly incompatible with retpolines, unless we want to uglify paravirt even further and convert the paravirt calls to retpolines. As far as I can tell, the option doesn't seem to be useful for much other than introducing surprising corner cases and making the kernel vulnerable to Spectre v2. It was probably a debug option from the early paravirt days. So just remove it.

2018-01-11x86/PCI: Add "pci=big_root_window" option for AMD 64-bit windows=?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?=
Only try to enable a 64-bit window on AMD CPUs when "pci=big_root_window" is specified. This taints the kernel because the new 64-bit window uses address space we don't know anything about, and it may contain unreported devices or memory that would conflict with the window. The pci_amd_enable_64bit_bar() quirk that enables the window is specific to AMD CPUs. The generic solution would be to have the firmware enable the window and describe it in the host bridge's _CRS method, or at least describe it in the _PRS method so the OS would have the option of enabling it.

2018-01-04printk: add console_msg_format command line optionSergey Senozhatsky
0day and kernelCI automatically parse kernel log - basically some sort of grepping using the pre-defined text patterns - in order to detect and report regressions/errors. There are several sources they get the kernel logs from: a) dmesg or /proc/ksmg This is the preferred way. Because `dmesg --raw' (see later Note) and /proc/kmsg output contains facility and log level, which greatly simplifies grepping for EMERG/ALERT/CRIT/ERR messages. b) serial consoles This option is harder to maintain, because serial console messages don't contain facility and log level. This patch introduces a `console_msg_format=' command line option, to switch between different message formatting on serial consoles. For the time being we have just two options - default and syslog. The "default" option just keeps the existing format. While the "syslog" option makes serial console messages to appear in syslog format [syslog() syscall], matching the `dmesg -S --raw' and `cat /proc/kmsg' output formats: - facility and log level - time stamp (depends on printk_time/PRINTK_TIME) - message <%u>[time stamp] text\n NOTE: while Kevin and Fengguang talk about "dmesg --raw", it's actually "dmesg -S --raw" that always prints messages in syslog format [per Petr Mladek]. Running "dmesg --raw" may produce output in non-syslog format sometimes. console_msg_format=syslog enables syslog format, thus in documentation we mention "dmesg -S --raw", not "dmesg --raw". Per Kevin Hilman: : Right now we can get this info from a "dmesg --raw" after bootup, : but it would be really nice in certain automation frameworks to : have a kernel command-line option to enable printing of loglevels : in default boot log. : : This is especially useful when ingesting kernel logs into advanced : search/analytics frameworks (I'm playing with and ELK stack: Elastic : Search, Logstash, Kibana). : : The other important reason for having this on the command line is that : for testing linux-next (and other bleeding edge developer branches), : it's common that we never make it to userspace, so can't even run : "dmesg --raw" (or equivalent.) So we really want this on the primary : boot (serial) console. Per Fengguang Wu, 0day scripts should quickly benefit from that feature, because they will be able to switch to a more reliable parsing, based on messages' facility and log levels [1]: `#{grep} -a -E -e '^<[0123]>' -e '^kern :(err |crit |alert |emerg )' instead of doing text pattern matching `#{grep} -a -F -f /lkp/printk-error-messages #{kmsg_file} | grep -a -v -E -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/oops-pattern | grep -a -v -F -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/kmsg-blacklist` [1] https://github.com/fengguang/lkp-tests/blob/master/lib/dmesg.rb Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171221054149.4398-1-sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com To: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
