 "The accumulated fixes from this and last week:

   - Fix vmalloc TLB flush and map range calculations which lead to
     stale TLBs, spurious faults and other hard to diagnose issues.

   - Use fault_in_pages_writable() for prefaulting the user stack in the
     FPU code as it's less fragile than the current solution

   - Use the PF_KTHREAD flag when checking for a kernel thread instead
     of current-&gt;mm as the latter can give the wrong answer due to
     use_mm()

   - Compute the vmemmap size correctly for KASLR and 5-Level paging.
     Otherwise this can end up with a way too small vmemmap area.

   - Make KASAN and 5-level paging work again by making sure that all
     invalid bits are masked out when computing the P4D offset. This
     worked before but got broken recently when the LDT remap area was
     moved.

   - Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in the resource control code
     which can be triggered with certain mount options when the
     requested resource is not available.

   - Enforce ordering of microcode loading vs. perf initialization on
     secondary CPUs. Otherwise perf tries to access a non-existing MSR
     as the boot CPU marked it as available.

   - Don't stop the resource control group walk early otherwise the
     control bitmaps are not updated correctly and become inconsistent.

   - Unbreak kgdb by returning 0 on success from
     kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() instead of an error code.

   - Add more Icelake CPU model defines so depending changes can be
     queued in other trees"

The MSR in question is MSR_TFA_RTM_FORCE_ABORT and that MSR is emulated
by microcode. The log above shows that the microcode loader callback
happens after the PMU restoration, leading to the conjecture that
because the microcode hasn't been updated yet, that MSR is not present
yet, leading to the #GP.

Add a microcode loader-specific hotplug vector which comes before
the PERF vectors and thus executes earlier and makes sure the MSR is
present.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "This has an unusually high density of tricky fixes:

   - task_get_css() could deadlock when it races against a dying cgroup.

   - cgroup.procs didn't list thread group leaders with live threads.

     This could mislead readers to think that a cgroup is empty when
     it's not. Fixed by making PROCS iterator include dead tasks. I made
     a couple mistakes making this change and this pull request contains
     a couple follow-up patches.

   - When cpusets run out of online cpus, it updates cpusmasks of member
     tasks in bizarre ways. Joel improved the behavior significantly"

Logan noticed that devm_memremap_pages_release() kills the percpu_ref
drops all the page references that were acquired at init and then
immediately proceeds to unplug, arch_remove_memory(), the backing pages
for the pagemap.  If for some reason device shutdown actually collides
with a busy / elevated-ref-count page then arch_remove_memory() should
be deferred until after that reference is dropped.

As it stands the "wait for last page ref drop" happens *after*
devm_memremap_pages_release() returns, which is obviously too late and
can lead to crashes.

Fix this situation by assigning the responsibility to wait for the
percpu_ref to go idle to devm_memremap_pages() with a new -&gt;cleanup()
callback.  Implement the new cleanup callback for all
devm_memremap_pages() users: pmem, devdax, hmm, and p2pdma.

<title>lib/genalloc: introduce chunk owners</title>

<id>795ee30648c708502da9df637f83c33361d68dcc</id>
<content type='text'>
The p2pdma facility enables a provider to publish a pool of dma
addresses for a consumer to allocate.  A genpool is used internally by
p2pdma to collect dma resources, 'chunks', to be handed out to
consumers.  Whenever a consumer allocates a resource it needs to pin the
'struct dev_pagemap' instance that backs the chunk selected by
pci_alloc_p2pmem().

Currently that reference is taken globally on the entire provider
device.  That sets up a lifetime mismatch whereby the p2pdma core needs
to maintain hacks to make sure the percpu_ref is not released twice.

This lifetime mismatch also stands in the way of a fix to
devm_memremap_pages() whereby devm_memremap_pages_release() must wait for
the percpu_ref -&gt;release() callback to complete before it can proceed to
teardown pages.

So, towards fixing this situation, introduce the ability to store a 'chunk
owner' at gen_pool_add() time, and a facility to retrieve the owner at
gen_pool_{alloc,free}() time.  For p2pdma this will be used to store and
recall individual dev_pagemap reference counter instances per-chunk.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm/devm_memremap_pages: Fix page release race", v2.

Logan audited the devm_memremap_pages() shutdown path and noticed that
it was possible to proceed to arch_remove_memory() before all potential
page references have been reaped.

Introduce a new -&gt;cleanup() callback to do the work of waiting for any
straggling page references and then perform the percpu_ref_exit() in
devm_memremap_pages_release() context.

For p2pdma this involves some deeper reworks to reference count
resources on a per-instance basis rather than a per pci-device basis.  A
modified genalloc api is introduced to convey a driver-private pointer
through gen_pool_{alloc,free}() interfaces.  Also, a
devm_memunmap_pages() api is introduced since p2pdma does not
auto-release resources on a setup failure.

The dax and pmem changes pass the nvdimm unit tests, and the p2pdma
changes should now pass testing with the pci_p2pdma_release() fix.
Jrme, how does this look for HMM?

This patch (of 6):

The devm_add_action() facility allows a resource allocation routine to
add custom devm semantics.  One such user is devm_memremap_pages().

There is now a need to manually trigger
devm_memremap_pages_release().  Introduce devm_release_action() so the
release action can be triggered via a new devm_memunmap_pages() api in a
follow-on change.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping</title>

<id>59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74</id>
<content type='text'>
When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

<title>mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events</title>

<id>815744d75152078cde5391fc1e3c2d4424323fb6</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel test robot noticed a 26% will-it-scale pagefault regression
from commit 42a300353577 ("mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics
correctness &amp; scalabilty").  This appears to be caused by bouncing the
additional cachelines from the new hierarchical statistics counters.

We can fix this by getting rid of the batched local counters instead.

Originally, there were *only* group-local counters, and they were fully
maintained per cpu.  A reader of a stats file high up in the cgroup tree
would have to walk the entire subtree and collect each level's per-cpu
counters to get the recursive view.  This was prohibitively expensive,
and so we switched to per-cpu batched updates of the local counters
during a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), reducing the complexity from nr_subgroups *
nr_cpus to nr_subgroups.

With growing machines and cgroup trees, the tree walk itself became too
expensive for monitoring top-level groups, and this is when the culprit
patch added hierarchy counters on each cgroup level.  When the per-cpu
batch size would be reached, both the local and the hierarchy counters
would get batch-updated from the per-cpu delta simultaneously.

This makes local and hierarchical counter reads blazingly fast, but it
unfortunately makes the write-side too cache line intense.

Since local counter reads were never a problem - we only centralized
them to accelerate the hierarchy walk - and use of the local counters
are becoming rarer due to replacement with hierarchical views (ongoing
rework in the page reclaim and workingset code), we can make those local
counters unbatched per-cpu counters again.

The scheme will then be as such:

   when a memcg statistic changes, the writer will:
   - update the local counter (per-cpu)
   - update the batch counter (per-cpu). If the batch is full:
   - spill the batch into the group's atomic_t
   - spill the batch into all ancestors' atomic_ts
   - empty out the batch counter (per-cpu)

   when a local memcg counter is read, the reader will:
   - collect the local counter from all cpus

   when a hiearchy memcg counter is read, the reader will:
   - read the atomic_t

We might be able to simplify this further and make the recursive
counters unbatched per-cpu counters as well (batch upward propagation,
but leave per-cpu collection to the readers), but that will require a
more in-depth analysis and testing of all the callsites.  Deal with the
immediate regression for now.

There's some discussion on how to do this the best, and Tejun prefers
that BFQ just create the file itself instead of having cgroups support
a symlink feature.

Hence revert commit 54b7b868e826 and 19e9da9e86c4 for 5.2, and this
can be done properly for 5.3.
