<id>urn:sha1:e6108147dd91b94d1979b110f265710c254c99d5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5f89468e2f060031cd89fd4287298e0eaf246bf6 upstream.

in case of driver wants to sync part of ranges with offset,
swiotlb_tbl_sync_single() copies from orig_addr base to tlb_addr with
offset and ends up with data mismatch.

It was removed from
"swiotlb: don't modify orig_addr in swiotlb_tbl_sync_single",
but said logic has to be added back in.

From Linus's email:
"That commit which the removed the offset calculation entirely, because the old

        (unsigned long)tlb_addr &amp; (IO_TLB_SIZE - 1)

was wrong, but instead of removing it, I think it should have just
fixed it to be

        (tlb_addr - mem-&gt;start) &amp; (IO_TLB_SIZE - 1);

instead. That way the slot offset always matches the slot index calculation."

(Unfortunatly that broke NVMe).

The use-case that drivers are hitting is as follow:

1. Get dma_addr_t from dma_map_single()

dma_addr_t tlb_addr = dma_map_single(dev, vaddr, vsize, DMA_TO_DEVICE);

    |&lt;---------------vsize-------------&gt;|
    +-----------------------------------+
    |                                   | original buffer
    +-----------------------------------+
  vaddr

 swiotlb_align_offset
     |&lt;-----&gt;|&lt;---------------vsize-------------&gt;|
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
     |       |                                   | swiotlb buffer
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
          tlb_addr

2. Do something
3. Sync dma_addr_t through dma_sync_single_for_device(..)

dma_sync_single_for_device(dev, tlb_addr + offset, size, DMA_TO_DEVICE);

  Error case.
    Copy data to original buffer but it is from base addr (instead of
  base addr + offset) in original buffer:

 swiotlb_align_offset
     |&lt;-----&gt;|&lt;- offset -&gt;|&lt;- size -&gt;|
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
     |       |            |##########|           | swiotlb buffer
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
          tlb_addr

    |&lt;- size -&gt;|
    +-----------------------------------+
    |##########|                        | original buffer
    +-----------------------------------+
  vaddr

The fix is to copy the data to the original buffer and take into
account the offset, like so:

 swiotlb_align_offset
     |&lt;-----&gt;|&lt;- offset -&gt;|&lt;- size -&gt;|
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
     |       |            |##########|           | swiotlb buffer
     +-------+-----------------------------------+
          tlb_addr

    |&lt;- offset -&gt;|&lt;- size -&gt;|
    +-----------------------------------+
    |            |##########|           | original buffer
    +-----------------------------------+
  vaddr

[One fix which was Linus's that made more sense to as it created a
symmetry would break NVMe. The reason for that is the:
 unsigned int offset = (tlb_addr - mem-&gt;start) &amp; (IO_TLB_SIZE - 1);

would come up with the proper offset, but it would lose the
alignment (which this patch contains).]

<title>mm, futex: fix shared futex pgoff on shmem huge page</title>

<id>urn:sha1:377a796e7a7102e543b4d1ccce473ed2df09f0d7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fe19bd3dae3d15d2fbfdb3de8839a6ea0fe94264 upstream.

If more than one futex is placed on a shmem huge page, it can happen
that waking the second wakes the first instead, and leaves the second
waiting: the key's shared.pgoff is wrong.

When 3.11 commit 13d60f4b6ab5 ("futex: Take hugepages into account when
generating futex_key"), the only shared huge pages came from hugetlbfs,
and the code added to deal with its exceptional page-&gt;index was put into
hugetlb source.  Then that was missed when 4.8 added shmem huge pages.

page_to_pgoff() is what others use for this nowadays: except that, as
currently written, it gives the right answer on hugetlbfs head, but
nonsense on hugetlbfs tails.  Fix that by calling hugetlbfs-specific
hugetlb_basepage_index() on PageHuge tails as well as on head.

Yes, it's unconventional to declare hugetlb_basepage_index() there in
pagemap.h, rather than in hugetlb.h; but I do not expect anything but
page_to_pgoff() ever to need it.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: give hugetlb_basepage_index() prototype the correct scope]

commit 5fa54346caf67b4b1b10b1f390316ae466da4d53 upstream.

The system might hang with the following backtrace:

	kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x108/0x1d0
	vfs_write+0x2f4/0x368
	ksys_write+0x7c/0xec

It is caused by the following race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync():

CPU0				CPU1

Context: Thread A		Context: Thread B

kthread_mod_delayed_work()
  spin_lock()
  __kthread_cancel_work()
     spin_unlock()
     del_timer_sync()
				kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
				  spin_lock()
				  __kthread_cancel_work()
				    spin_unlock()
				    del_timer_sync()
				    spin_lock()

				  work-&gt;canceling++
				  spin_unlock
     spin_lock()
   queue_delayed_work()
     // dwork is put into the worker-&gt;delayed_work_list

   spin_unlock()

				  kthread_flush_work()
     // flush_work is put at the tail of the dwork

				    wait_for_completion()

Context: IRQ

  kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
    spin_lock()
    list_del_init(&amp;work-&gt;node);
    spin_unlock()

BANG: flush_work is not longer linked and will never get proceed.

The problem is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() checks work-&gt;canceling
flag before canceling the timer.

A simple solution is to (re)check work-&gt;canceling after
__kthread_cancel_work().  But then it is not clear what should be
returned when __kthread_cancel_work() removed the work from the queue
(list) and it can't queue it again with the new @delay.

The return value might be used for reference counting.  The caller has
to know whether a new work has been queued or an existing one was
replaced.

The proper solution is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() will remove the
work from the queue (list) _only_ when work-&gt;canceling is not set.  The
flag must be checked after the timer is stopped and the remaining
operations can be done under worker-&gt;lock.

Note that kthread_mod_delayed_work() could remove the timer and then
bail out.  It is fine.  The other canceling caller needs to cancel the
timer as well.  The important thing is that the queue (list)
manipulation is done atomically under worker-&gt;lock.

commit 4f5aecdff25f59fb5ea456d5152a913906ecf287 upstream.

As mentioned in kernel commit 1d50e5d0c505 ("crash_core, vmcoreinfo:
Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo"), SECTION_SIZE_BITS in the
formula:

    #define SECTIONS_SHIFT    (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Besides SECTIONS_SHIFT, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is also used to calculate
PAGES_PER_SECTION in makedumpfile just like kernel.

Unfortunately, this arch-dependent macro SECTION_SIZE_BITS changes, e.g.
recently in kernel commit f0b13ee23241 ("arm64/sparsemem: reduce
SECTION_SIZE_BITS").  But user space wants a stable interface to get
this info.  Such info is impossible to be deduced from a crashdump
vmcore.  Hence append SECTION_SIZE_BITS to vmcoreinfo.

<content type='text'>
commit 89529d8b8f8daf92d9979382b8d2eb39966846ea upstream.

The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is
somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read
of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a
lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will
simply use the other CPUs timestamp.

The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange
recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context.

In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced
timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global
timestamp.

The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time
returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the
plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause
the time to go backwards!

    return ts; [ 1000 ]
 }

The above case shows to reads of trace_clock_global() on the same CPU, but
the second read returns one less than the first read. That is, time when
backwards, and this is not what is allowed by trace_clock_global().

This was triggered by heavy tracing and the ring buffer checker that tests
for the clock going backwards:

 Ring buffer clock went backwards: 20613921464 -&gt; 20613921463

commit 4fdd595e4f9a1ff6d93ec702eaecae451cfc6591 upstream.

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.

Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

<title>tracing: Do not stop recording cmdlines when tracing is off</title>

commit 85550c83da421fb12dc1816c45012e1e638d2b38 upstream.

The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the
output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human
readable name for the task.

If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this:

    &lt;...&gt;-1316          [005] ...2   132.044039: ...

Instead of this:

    gnome-shell-1316    [005] ...2   132.044039: ...

The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing
is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the
top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active.

The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a
ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If
tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is
off or not.

Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the
instance buffers.
