random: do not ignore early device randomness

2017-07-12T23:26:00Z

The add_device_randomness() function would ignore incoming bytes if the crng wasn't ready. This additionally makes sure to make an early enough call to add_latent_entropy() to influence the initial stack canary, which is especially important on non-x86 systems where it stays the same through the life of the boot.

mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time

2017-07-06T23:24:31Z

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Merge branch 'for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2017-07-06T16:52:09Z

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: - Waiman made the debug controller work and a lot more useful on cgroup2 - There were a couple issues with cgroup subtree delegation. The documentation on delegating to a non-root user was missing some part and cgroup namespace support wasn't factoring in delegation at all. The documentation is updated and the now there is a mount option to make cgroup namespace fit for delegation * 'for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: implement "nsdelegate" mount option cgroup: restructure cgroup_procs_write_permission() cgroup: "cgroup.subtree_control" should be writeable by delegatee cgroup: fix lockdep warning in debug controller cgroup: refactor cgroup_masks_read() in the debug controller cgroup: make debug an implicit controller on cgroup2 cgroup: Make debug cgroup support v2 and thread mode cgroup: Make Kconfig prompt of debug cgroup more accurate cgroup: Move debug cgroup to its own file cgroup: Keep accurate count of tasks in each css_set

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner) - A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and topology code (Peter Zijlstra) - Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar) - sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel) - Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra) - Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker) - Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel Bristot de Oliveira) - Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos Venancio) - Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre) - Simplify code by making better use of llist primitives (Byungchul Park) - ... plus other fixes and improvements" * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (103 commits) sched/cputime: Refactor the cputime_adjust() code sched/debug: Expose the number of RT/DL tasks that can migrate sched/numa: Hide numa_wake_affine() from UP build sched/fair: Remove effective_load() sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine() sched/fair: Simplify wake_affine() for the single socket case sched/numa: Override part of migrate_degrades_locality() when idle balancing sched/rt: Move RT related code from sched/core.c to sched/rt.c sched/deadline: Move DL related code from sched/core.c to sched/deadline.c sched/cpuset: Only offer CONFIG_CPUSETS if SMP is enabled sched/fair: Spare idle load balancing on nohz_full CPUs nohz: Move idle balancer registration to the idle path sched/loadavg: Generalize "_idle" naming to "_nohz" sched/core: Drop the unused try_get_task_struct() helper function sched/fair: WARN() and refuse to set buddy when !se->on_rq sched/debug: Fix SCHED_WARN_ON() to return a value on !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG as well sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming sched/wait: Move bit_wait_table[] and related functionality from sched/core.c to sched/wait_bit.c sched/wait: Split out the wait_bit*() APIs from into sched/wait: Re-adjust macro line continuation backslashes in ...

sched/cpuset: Only offer CONFIG_CPUSETS if SMP is enabled

2017-06-23T08:46:44Z

Make CONFIG_CPUSETS=y depend on SMP as this feature makes no sense on UP. This allows for configuring out cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink() and task_can_attach() entirely, which shrinks the kernel a bit.

cgroup: Make Kconfig prompt of debug cgroup more accurate

2017-06-14T20:01:21Z

The Kconfig prompt and description of the debug cgroup controller more accurate by saying that it is for debug purpose only and its interfaces are unstable. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

rcu: Move RCU non-debug Kconfig options to kernel/rcu

2017-06-09T01:52:44Z

RCU's Kconfig options are scattered, and there are enough of them that it would be good for them to be more centralized. This commit therefore extracts RCU's Kconfig options from init/Kconfig into a new kernel/rcu/Kconfig file. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options

2017-06-09T01:52:43Z

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts to use the boot parameter instead. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove debugfs tracing

2017-06-09T01:52:43Z

RCU's debugfs tracing used to be the only reasonable low-level debug information available, but ftrace and event tracing has since surpassed the RCU debugfs level of usefulness. This commit therefore removes RCU's debugfs tracing. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

srcu: Remove Classic SRCU

2017-06-09T01:52:42Z

Classic SRCU was only ever intended to be a fallback in case of issues with Tree/Tiny SRCU, and the latter two are doing quite well in testing. This commit therefore removes Classic SRCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
