proc: proc_skip_spaces() shouldn't think it is working on C strings

2022-12-08T10:28:45Z

commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream. proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling convention. Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it skips a particular character, rather than whitespace). So use that as inspiration, odd coding and all. Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the intended purpose.

proc: avoid integer type confusion in get_proc_long

2022-12-08T10:28:45Z

commit e6cfaf34be9fcd1a8285a294e18986bfc41a409c upstream. proc_get_long() is passed a size_t, but then assigns it to an 'int' variable for the length. Let's not do that, even if our IO paths are limited to MAX_RW_COUNT (exactly because of these kinds of type errors). So do the proper test in the rigth type.

sysctl: move some boundary constants from sysctl.c to sysctl_vals

2022-07-29T15:25:11Z

[ Upstream commit 78e36f3b0dae586f623c4a37ec5eb5496f5abbe1 ] sysctl has helpers which let us specify boundary values for a min or max int value. Since these are used for a boundary check only they don't change, so move these variables to sysctl_vals to avoid adding duplicate variables. This will help with our cleanup of kernel/sysctl.c.

mm/pagealloc: sysctl: change watermark_scale_factor max limit to 30%

2022-07-29T15:25:11Z

[ Upstream commit 39c65a94cd9661532be150e88f8b02f4a6844a35 ] For embedded systems with low total memory, having to run applications with relatively large memory requirements, 10% max limitation for watermark_scale_factor poses an issue of triggering direct reclaim every time such application is started. This results in slow application startup times and bad end-user experience. By increasing watermark_scale_factor max limit we allow vendors more flexibility to choose the right level of kswapd aggressiveness for their device and workload requirements.

sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies().

2022-07-21T19:24:26Z

[ Upstream commit 7d1025e559782b58824b36cb8ad547a69f2e4b31 ] A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing. This patch changes proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
