commit d9e427f6ab8142d6868eb719e6a7851aafea56b6 upstream.

commit c7cdff0e8647 ("virtio_balloon: fix deadlock on OOM")
changed code to increment vb-&gt;num_pfns before call to
set_page_pfns(), which used to happen only after.

This patch fixes boot hang for me on ppc64le KVM guests.

commit c7cdff0e864713a089d7cb3a2b1136ba9a54881a upstream.

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.

To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock.

Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:

In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&amp;vb-&gt;balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb-&gt;balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb-&gt;balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

  Thread1                                       Thread2
    fill_balloon()
      takes a balloon_lock
      balloon_page_enqueue()
        alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)
          direct reclaim (__GFP_FS context)       takes a fs lock
            waits for that fs lock                  alloc_page(GFP_NOFS)
                                                      __alloc_pages_may_oom()
                                                        takes the oom_lock
                                                        out_of_memory()
                                                          blocking_notifier_call_chain()

[ Upstream commit 69599206ea9a3f8f2e94d46580579cbf9d08ad6c ]

Legacy PCI over virtio uses a 32bit PFN for the queue. If the
queue pfn is too large to fit in 32bits, which we could hit on
arm64 systems with 52bit physical addresses (even with 64K page
size), we simply miss out a proper link to the other side of
the queue.

Add a check to validate the PFN, rather than silently breaking
the devices.

commit 89da619bc18d79bca5304724c11d4ba3b67ce2c6 upstream.

Kernel panic when with high memory pressure, calltrace looks like,

It happens in the pagefault and results in double pagefault
during compacting pages when memory allocation fails.

Analysed the vmcore, the page leads to second pagefault is corrupted
with _mapcount=-256, but private=0.

It's caused by the race between migration and ballooning, and lock
missing in virtballoon_migratepage() of virtio_balloon driver.
This patch fix the bug.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas,
  megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates.

  The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based
  cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives
  all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for). Plus a reset

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
   CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.

   The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
   implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
   Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
   the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
   dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.

   The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
   (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
   profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
   there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
   with early versions. (knock on wood!)

   But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
   measurably:

   With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
   instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
   .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
   utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
   kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
   roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
   a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.

   The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
   stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
   config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.

   Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
   - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
   it the default unwinder on x86.

   See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

 - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
   proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
   reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
   its removal. (Juergen Gross)

 - Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)

 - Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko)

 - Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby)
