2022-04-08docs: sysctl/kernel: add missing bit to panic_printGuilherme G. Piccoli1-0/+1
commit a1ff1de00db21ecb956213f046b79741b64c6b65 upstream. Patch series "Some improvements on panic_print". This is a mix of a documentation fix with some additions to the "panic_print" syscall / parameter. The goal here is being able to collect all CPUs backtraces during a panic event and also to enable "panic_print" in a kdump event - details of the reasoning and design choices in the patches. This patch (of 3): Commit de6da1e8bcf0 ("panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer") added a new bit to the sysctl/kernel parameter "panic_print", but the documentation was added only in kernel-parameters.txt, not in the sysctl guide. Fix it here by adding bit 5 to sysctl admin-guide documentation.

randomization commit 82ca67321f55a8d1da6ac3ed611da3c32818bb37 upstream. The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within the same sentence.

2022-01-05Input: i8042 - add deferred probe supportTakashi Iwai1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit 9222ba68c3f4065f6364b99cc641b6b019ef2d42 ] We've got a bug report about the non-working keyboard on ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. It seems that the PS/2 device isn't ready immediately at boot but takes some seconds to get ready. Until now, the only workaround is to defer the probe, but it's available only when the driver is a module. However, many distros, including openSUSE as in the original report, build the PS/2 input drivers into kernel, hence it won't work easily. This patch adds the support for the deferred probe for i8042 stuff as a workaround of the problem above. When the deferred probe mode is enabled and the device couldn't be probed, it'll be repeated with the standard deferred probe mechanism. The deferred probe mode is enabled either via the new option i8042.probe_defer or via the quirk table entry. As of this patch, the quirk table contains only ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. The deferred probe part is based on Fabio's initial work.

2021-11-18xen/balloon: add late_initcall_sync() for initial ballooning doneJuergen Gross1-0/+7
commit 40fdea0284bb20814399da0484a658a96c735d90 upstream. When running as PVH or HVM guest with actual memory < max memory the hypervisor is using "populate on demand" in order to allow the guest to balloon down from its maximum memory size. For this to work correctly the guest must not touch more memory pages than its target memory size as otherwise the PoD cache will be exhausted and the guest is crashed as a result of that. In extreme cases ballooning down might not be finished today before the init process is started, which can consume lots of memory. In order to avoid random boot crashes in such cases, add a late init call to wait for ballooning down having finished for PVH/HVM guests. Warn on console if initial ballooning fails, panic() after stalling for more than 3 minutes per default. Add a module parameter for changing this timeout.

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc version to 5.1. This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before. Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem. The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on. We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a good thing. I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that we no longer support gcc-4.x. As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does _not_ yet do that.

2021-09-08memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaulDavid Hildenbrand1-306/+455
The memory hot(un)plug documentation is outdated and incomplete. Most of the content dates back to 2007, so it's time for a major overhaul. Let's rewrite, reorganize and update most parts of the documentation. In addition to memory hot(un)plug, also add some details regarding ZONE_MOVABLE, with memory hotunplug being one of its main consumers. Drop the file history, that information can more reliably be had from the git log. The style of the document is also properly fixed that e.g., "restview" renders it cleanly now. In the future, we might add some more details about virt users like virtio-mem, the XEN balloon, the Hyper-V balloon and ppc64 dlpar.

2021-09-03mm/mempolicy: advertise new MPOL_PREFERRED_MANYBen Widawsky1-4/+11
Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2), get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference. NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode will work either per VMA, or per thread.

2021-09-03mm: compaction: support triggering of proactive compaction by userCharan Teja Reddy1-1/+2
The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such systems. Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from userspace. This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Add DM infrastructure for IMA-based remote attestion. These changes are the basis for deploying DM-based storage in a "cloud" that must validate configurations end-users run to maintain trust. These DM changes allow supported DM targets' configurations to be measured via IMA. But the policy and enforcement (of which configurations are valid) is managed by something outside the kernel (e.g. Keylime). - Fix DM crypt scalability regression on systems with many cpus due to percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc(). - Use in_hardirq() instead of deprecated in_irq() in DM crypt. - Add event counters to DM writecache to allow users to further assess how the writecache is performing. - Various code cleanup in DM writecache's main IO mapping function. * tag 'for-5.15/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm crypt: use in_hardirq() instead of deprecated in_irq() dm ima: update dm documentation for ima measurement support dm ima: update dm target attributes for ima measurements dm ima: add a warning in dm_init if duplicate ima events are not measured dm ima: prefix ima event name related to device mapper with dm_ dm ima: add version info to dm related events in ima log dm ima: prefix dm table hashes in ima log with hash algorithm dm crypt: Avoid percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc() dm: add documentation for IMA measurement support dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement dm ima: measure data on device rename dm ima: measure data on table clear dm ima: measure data on device remove dm ima: measure data on device resume dm ima: measure data on table load dm writecache: add event counters dm writecache: report invalid return from writecache_map helpers dm writecache: further writecache_map() cleanup dm writecache: factor out writecache_map_remap_origin() dm writecache: split up writecache_map() to improve code readability
