docs: Makefile: use latexmk if available
In the past, Sphinx was generating a LaTex Makefile that would
run xelatex 3 times. Running it multiple times is needed in order
to make the indexes right.
However, newer versions of it runs it just once, as it expects
the machine to use the "latexmk" build, with automatically
detects the need for rebuilds.
So, add a logic at the Makefile in order to detect if latexmk
is installed. If so, it will call it.
As an additional bonus, the output of latexmk is a little bit
better, making easier to identify build problems.

checkpatch: Warn on improper usage of Co-developed-by
The purpose of Co-developed-by: is to give attribution to authors who
aren't already attributed by the From: tag, i.e. who aren't the nominal
patch author. Because Co-developed-by: is essentially a variation of
From:, it must be accompanied by a Signed-off-by: of the associated
co-author. To ease the burden of determining whether or not co-authors
have signed off, Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by: must be explicitly
paired, i.e. on consecutive lines for a given co-author.

docs: Clarify the usage and sign-off requirements for Co-developed-by
The documentation for Co-developed-by is a bit light on details, e.g. it
doesn't explicitly state that:
- Multiple Co-developed-by tags are perfectly acceptable
- Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by must be paired together
- SOB ordering should still follow standard sign-off procedure
Lack of explicit direction has resulted in developers taking a variety
of approaches, often lacking any intent whatsoever, e.g. scattering SOBs
willy-nilly, collecting them all at the end or the beginning, etc...
Tweak the wording to make it clear that multiple co-authors are allowed,
and document the expectation that standard sign-off procedures are to
be followed.
The use of "original author" has also led to confusion as many patches
don't have just one "original" author, e.g. when multiple developers
are involved from the genesis of the patch. Remove all usage of
"original" and instead call out that Co-developed-by is simply a way to
provide attribution in addition to the From tag, i.e. neither tag is
intended to imply anything with regard to who did what.
Provide examples to (hopefully) eliminate any ambiguity.

The instructions for generating patches are given as shell commands

which is wrong for the Bourne shell family (it runs the command
"linux" with the variable "SRCTREE" set to the empty string).

kbuild: Make NOSTDINC_FLAGS a simply expanded variable
During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of
the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include". We don't
need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice.
Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid
this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be
recursively expanded.
On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build.
Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really
old) commit
e8f5bdb02ce0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering").
It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch
the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid
directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because
someone else (out of tree?) was setting it. I presume later since if
the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would
have just removed the ":".

Thus it would be more foolproof to explicitly use 1.0 (as we always

coccinelle: semantic code search for missing put_device()
The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we should release that reference.
The implementation of this semantic code search is:
In a function, for a local variable returned by calling
of_find_device_by_node(),
a, if it is released by a function such as
put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use,
it is considered that there is no reference leak;
b, if it is passed back to the caller via
dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the
reference will be released in other functions, and the current function
also considers that there is no reference leak;
c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the
reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the
corresponding error message.
By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks,
such as:
commit
11907e9d3533 ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in
fsl_asoc_card_probe")
commit
a12085d13997 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak")
commit
11493f26856a ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak")
There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code.
Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also
have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to
further check the reference leak.

Merge tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:

the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

KVM: doc: Document the life cycle of a VM and its resources
The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
cgroup.
While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep
the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
resources.
Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier
isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

filemap: drop the mmap_sem for all blocking operations
Currently we only drop the mmap_sem if there is contention on the page
lock. The idea is that we issue readahead and then go to lock the page
while it is under IO and we want to not hold the mmap_sem during the IO.
The problem with this is the assumption that the readahead does anything.
In the case that the box is under extreme memory or IO pressure we may end
up not reading anything at all for readahead, which means we will end up
reading in the page under the mmap_sem.
Even if the readahead does something, it could get throttled because of io
pressure on the system and the process is in a lower priority cgroup.
Holding the mmap_sem while doing IO is problematic because it can cause
system-wide priority inversions. Consider some large company that does a
lot of web traffic. This large company has load balancing logic in it's
core web server, cause some engineer thought this was a brilliant plan.
This load balancing logic gets statistics from /proc about the system,
which trip over processes mmap_sem for various reasons. Now the web
server application is in a protected cgroup, but these other processes may
not be, and if they are being throttled while their mmap_sem is held we'll
stall, and cause this nice death spiral.
Instead rework filemap fault path to drop the mmap sem at any point that
we may do IO or block for an extended period of time. This includes while
issuing readahead, locking the page, or needing to call ->readpage because
readahead did not occur. Then once we have a fully uptodate page we can
return with VM_FAULT_RETRY and come back again to find our nicely in-cache
page that was gotten outside of the mmap_sem.
This patch also adds a new helper for locking the page with the mmap_sem
dropped. This doesn't make sense currently as generally speaking if the
page is already locked it'll have been read in (unless there was an error)
before it was unlocked. However a forthcoming patchset will change this
with the ability to abort read-ahead bio's if necessary, making it more
likely that we could contend for a page lock and still have a not uptodate
page. This allows us to deal with this case by grabbing the lock and
issuing the IO without the mmap_sem held, and then returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY to come back around.

filemap: kill page_cache_read usage in filemap_fault
Patch series "drop the mmap_sem when doing IO in the fault path", v6.
Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started
going through and fixing the various priority inversions. Most are all
gone now, but this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a
priority inversion that happens within the kernel, but rather because of
something userspace does.
We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these
giant applications do things like watch the system state to determine how
healthy the box is for load balancing and such. This involves running
'ps' or other such utilities. These utilities will often walk
/proc/<pid>/whatever, and these files can sometimes need to
down_read(&task->mmap_sem). Not usually a big deal, but we noticed when
we are stress testing that sometimes our protected application has latency
spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in lower priority
cgroups.
This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into
a mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers
will not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer. This is fine,
except a lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been
throttled to the point that its IO is taking much longer than normal. But
because a higher priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck
behind lower priority work.
In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the
existing retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we
are going to do IO. This already exists in the read case sort of, but
needed to be extended for more than just grabbing the page lock. With
io.latency we throttle at submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can
block and even page_cache_read can block, so all these paths need to have
the mmap_sem dropped.
The other big thing is ->page_mkwrite. btrfs is particularly shitty here
because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very
expensive operation. We use the same retry method as the read path, and
simply cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next
pass through ->page_mkwrite().
I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions.
This patch (of 3):
If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird forced
page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it again and
loop around and find it. This makes for 2 ways we can read a page in
filemap_fault, and it's not really needed. Instead add a FGP_FOR_MMAP
flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked page that's in
pagecache. Then use the normal page locking and readpage logic already in
filemap_fault. This simplifies the no page in page cache case
significantly.

Revert "KVM/MMU: Flush tlb directly in the kvm_zap_gfn_range()"
This reverts commit
71883a62fcd6c70639fa12cda733378b4d997409.
The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which
uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes,
kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range
which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched.
See an example of this race below:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 3
// zap_direct_gfn_range
mmu_lock()
// *ptep == pte_1
*ptep = 0
if (lock_flush_tlb)
flush_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
// In invalidate range
// MMU notifier
mmu_lock()
if (pte != 0)
*ptep = 0
flush = true
if (flush)
flush_remote_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
return
// Host MM reallocates
// page previously
