selftests: enhance membarrier syscall test

2015-09-11T22:21:34+00:00

Update the membarrier syscall self-test to match the membarrier
interface.  Extend coverage of the interface.  Consider ENOSYS as a
"SKIP" test, since it is a valid configuration, but does not allow
testing the system call.

selftests:vm: point to libhugetlbfs for regression testing

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

The hugetlb selftests provide minimal coverage.  Have run script point
people at libhugetlbfs for better regression testing.

Revert "selftests: add hugetlbfstest"

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

This manually reverts 7e50533d4b842 ("selftests: add hugetlbfstest").

The hugetlbfstest test depends on hugetlb pages being counted in a
task's rss.  This functionality is not in the kernel, so the test will
always fail.  Remove test to avoid confusion.

pagemap: add mmap-exclusive bit for marking pages mapped only here

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

This patch sets bit 56 in pagemap if this page is mapped only once.  It
allows to detect exclusively used pages without exposing PFN:

present file exclusive state
0       0    0         non-present
1       1    0         file page mapped somewhere else
1       1    1         file page mapped only here
1       0    0         anon non-CoWed page (shared with parent/child)
1       0    1         anon CoWed page (or never forked)

CoWed pages in (MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE) areas are anon in this context.

MMap-exclusive bit doesn't reflect potential page-sharing via swapcache:
page could be mapped once but has several swap-ptes which point to it.
Application could detect that by swap bit in pagemap entry and touch that
pte via /proc/pid/mem to get real information.

selftests/userfaultfd: fix compiler warnings on 32-bit

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

On 32-bit:

    userfaultfd.c: In function 'locking_thread':
    userfaultfd.c:152: warning: left shift count >= width of type
    userfaultfd.c: In function 'uffd_poll_thread':
    userfaultfd.c:295: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
    userfaultfd.c: In function 'uffd_read_thread':
    userfaultfd.c:332: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

Fix the shift warning by splitting the shift in two parts, and the
integer/pointer warnigns by adding intermediate casts to "unsigned long".

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2015-09-08T21:35:59+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"
