kernel: kexec: remove the lock operation of system_transition_mutex

2021-02-03T22:28:37Z

commit 56c91a18432b631ca18438841fd1831ef756cabf upstream. Function kernel_kexec() is called with lock system_transition_mutex held in reboot system call. While inside kernel_kexec(), it will acquire system_transition_mutex agin. This will lead to dead lock. The dead lock should be easily triggered, it hasn't caused any failure report just because the feature 'kexec jump' is almost not used by anyone as far as I know. An inquiry can be made about who is using 'kexec jump' and where it's used. Before that, let's simply remove the lock operation inside CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP ifdeffery scope.

kernel/: fix repeated words in comments

2020-10-16T18:11:19Z

Fix multiple occurrences of duplicated words in kernel/. Fix one typo/spello on the same line as a duplicate word. Change one instance of "the the" to "that the". Otherwise just drop one of the repeated words.

kexec: add machine_kexec_post_load()

2020-01-08T16:32:55Z

It is the same as machine_kexec_prepare(), but is called after segments are loaded. This way, can do processing work with already loaded relocation segments. One such example is arm64: it has to have segments loaded in order to create a page table, but it cannot do it during kexec time, because at that time allocations won't be possible anymore.

kexec: quiet down kexec reboot

2020-01-08T16:32:55Z

Here is a regular kexec command sequence and output: ===== $ kexec --reuse-cmdline -i --load Image $ kexec -e [ 161.342002] kexec_core: Starting new kernel Welcome to Buildroot buildroot login: ===== Even when "quiet" kernel parameter is specified, "kexec_core: Starting new kernel" is printed. This message has KERN_EMERG level, but there is no emergency, it is a normal kexec operation, so quiet it down to appropriate KERN_NOTICE. Machines that have slow console baud rate benefit from less output. Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Acked-by: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

kexec: bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.

2019-09-26T00:51:40Z

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. It turned out that the reproducer was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from kimage_load_normal_segment(). Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory allocation.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47Z

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function

2018-12-28T20:11:47Z

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed pages to atomic", v5. This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic. With the change, preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus. This patch (of 4): This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. Please note that re-reading the value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.
