commit 2fa147bdbf672c53386a8f5f2c7fe358004c3ef8 upstream.

MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX relies on typical page semantics whereby ->mapping
is only ever cleared by truncation, not final put.

Without this fix dax pages may forget their mapping association at the
end of every page pin event.

Move this atypical behavior that HMM wants into the HMM ->page_free()
callback.

userns: move user access out of the mutex 2018-09-09T08:32:39+00:00 Jann Horn jannh@google.com 2018-06-25T16:34:19+00:00 7131c193fcc3af158bda20f144105d19e65e4cad commit 5820f140edef111a9ea2ef414ab2428b8cb805b1 upstream. The old code would hold the userns_state_mutex indefinitely if memdup_user_nul stalled due to e.g. a userfault region. Prevent that by moving the memdup_user_nul in front of the mutex_lock().

After a bit of debugging, I found what was happening. This would trigger
when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and
disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at
the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint
traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the
trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following:

  do_idle {

    [interrupts enabled]

    <interrupt> [interrupts disabled]
	TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
	[...]
	TRACE_IRQS_IRET
	    test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes]
	    TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on]

	    <nmi>
		nmi_enter() {
		    printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace]
		    [ hit ftrace breakpoint ]
		    <breakpoint exception>
			TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
			[...]
			TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint]
			   test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no]
			   [iret back to interrupt]
	   [iret back to code]

    tick_nohz_idle_enter() {

	lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!]

Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since
we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is
that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables
lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see
printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting
confused.

tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value 2018-09-09T08:32:35+00:00 Steven Rostedt (VMware) rostedt@goodmis.org 2018-08-16T20:08:37+00:00 cfe603dd4e39c11e48edec1b211dfd9b1895debc commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream. Masami Hiramatsu reported: Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error if user writes the same setting value as current one, e.g. # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable 0 # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the problem as below. # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable 0 # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180816103802.08678002@gandalf.local.home Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: cd649b8bb830d ("blktrace: remove sysfs_blk_trace_enable_show/store()") Reported-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> 
commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable

tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change 2018-09-09T08:32:35+00:00 Steven Rostedt (VMware) rostedt@goodmis.org 2018-08-01T19:40:57+00:00 b0d32c7b0cdadf1ebe7953f02453c3dfa9353df5 commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream. Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's "start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled, and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread, and make it unable to remove the old one.
