Remote TLB flush does a busy wait which is fine in bare-metal scenario. But with-in the guest, the vcpus might have been pre-empted or blocked. In this scenario, the initator vcpu would end up busy-waiting for a long amount of time; it also consumes CPU unnecessarily to wake up the target of the shootdown. This patch set adds support for KVM's new paravirtualized TLB flush; remote TLB flush does not wait for vcpus that are sleeping, instead KVM will flush the TLB as soon as the vCPU starts running again. The improvement is clearly visible when the host is overcommitted; in this case, the PV TLB flush (in addition to avoiding the wait on the main CPU) prevents preempted vCPUs from stealing precious execution time from the running ones. Testing on a Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 2 sockets, 32 cores, 64 threads, so 64 pCPUs, and each VM is 64 vCPUs. ebizzy -M vanilla optimized boost 1VM 46799 48670 4% 2VM 23962 42691 78% 3VM 16152 37539 132% Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

The reason I added this documentation originally was that the concept of "never taking the interrupt", but just use the timer to generate an exit from the guest, was confusing to most, and we had to explain it several times over. But as we can clearly see, we've failed to update the documentation as the code has evolved, and people who need to understand these details are probably better off reading the code. Let's lighten our maintenance burden slightly and just get rid of this. Acked-by:

With a nxp,se97 chip on an atmel sama5d31 board, the I2C adapter driver is not always capable of avoiding the 25-35 ms timeout as specified by the SMBUS protocol. This may cause silent corruption of the last bit of any transfer, e.g. a one is read instead of a zero if the sensor chip times out. This also affects the eeprom half of the nxp-se97 chip, where this silent corruption was originally noticed. Other I2C adapters probably suffer similar issues, e.g. bit-banging comes to mind as risky... The SMBUS register in the nxp chip is not a standard Jedec register, but it is not special to the nxp chips either, at least the atmel chips have the same mechanism. Therefore, do not special case this on the manufacturer, it is opt-in via the device property anyway. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.9+ Signed-off-by:

printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using %lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel. Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address. Signed-off-by:

Currently there exist approximately 14 000 places in the kernel where addresses are being printed using an unadorned %p. This potentially leaks sensitive information regarding the Kernel layout in memory. Many of these calls are stale, instead of fixing every call lets hash the address by default before printing. This will of course break some users, forcing code printing needed addresses to be updated. Code that _really_ needs the address will soon be able to use the new printk specifier %px to print the address. For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as follows (thanks to Joe Perches). $ git grep -E '%p[^A-Za-z0-9]' | cut -f1 -d"/" | sort | uniq -c 1084 arch 20 block 10 crypto 32 Documentation 8121 drivers 1221 fs 143 include 101 kernel 69 lib 100 mm 1510 net 40 samples 7 scripts 11 security 166 sound 152 tools 2 virt Add function ptr_to_id() to map an address to a 32 bit unique identifier.

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the log. During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings, so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings. This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so that they appear again: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special section, and clearing it.

Right now there is no convenient way to check if a process is being coredumped at the moment. It might be necessary to recognize such state to prevent killing the process and getting a broken coredump. Writing a large core might take significant time, and the process is unresponsive during it, so it might be killed by timeout, if another process is monitoring and killing/restarting hanging tasks. We're getting a significant number of corrupted coredump files on machines in our fleet, just because processes are being killed by timeout in the middle of the core writing process. We do have a process health check, and some agent is responsible for restarting processes which are not responding for health check requests. Writing a large coredump to the disk can easily exceed the reasonable timeout (especially on an overloaded machine). This flag will allow the agent to distinguish processes which are being coredumped, extend the timeout for them, and let them produce a full coredump file. To provide an ability to detect if a process is in the state of being coredumped, we can expose a boolean CoreDumping flag in /proc/pid/status. Example: $ cat core.sh #!/bin/sh echo "|/usr/bin/sleep 10" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern sleep 1000 & PID=$! cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping kill -ABRT $PID sleep 1 cat /proc/$PID/status | grep CoreDumping $ ./core.sh CoreDumping: 0 CoreDumping: 1 [guro@fb.com: document CoreDumping flag in /proc/<pid>/status] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928135357.GA8470@castle.DHCP.thefacebook.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170920230634.31572-1-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by:

The check for "active" children in __pm_runtime_set_status(), when trying to set the parent device status to "suspended", doesn't really make sense, because in fact it is not invalid to set the status of a device with runtime PM disabled to "suspended" in any case. It is invalid to enable runtime PM for a device with its status set to "suspended" while its child_count reference counter is nonzero, but the check in __pm_runtime_set_status() doesn't really cover that situation. For this reason, drop the children check from __pm_runtime_set_status() and add a check against child_count reference counters of "suspended" devices to pm_runtime_enable(). Fixes: a8636c89 (PM / Runtime: Don't allow to suspend a device with an active child) Signed-off-by:

Hub nodes and host-controller nodes with child nodes must specify values for #address-cells (1) and #size-cells (0). Also make the definition of the related reg property a bit more stringent, and add comments to the example source. Signed-off-by:
