* media: samsung: Rename Samsung and Exynos to lowercaseKrzysztof Kozlowski2020-07-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix up inconsistent usage of upper and lowercase letters in "Samsung" and "Exynos" names. "SAMSUNG" and "EXYNOS" are not abbreviations but regular trademarked names. Therefore they should be written with lowercase letters starting with capital letter. The lowercase "Exynos" name is promoted by its manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., in advertisement materials and on website. Although advertisement materials usually use uppercase "SAMSUNG", the lowercase version is used in all legal aspects (e.g. on Wikipedia and in privacy/legal statements on https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/privacy-global/).

* | | panic: add sysctl to dump all CPUs backtraces on oops eventGuilherme G. Piccoli2020-06-081-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually when the kernel reaches an oops condition, it's a point of no return; in case not enough debug information is available in the kernel splat, one of the last resorts would be to collect a kernel crash dump and analyze it. The problem with this approach is that in order to collect the dump, a panic is required (to kexec-load the crash kernel). When in an environment of multiple virtual machines, users may prefer to try living with the oops, at least until being able to properly shutdown their VMs / finish their important tasks. This patch implements a way to collect a bit more debug details when an oops event is reached, by printing all the CPUs backtraces through the usage of NMIs (on architectures that support that). The sysctl added (and documented) here was called "oops_all_cpu_backtrace", and when set will (as the name suggests) dump all CPUs backtraces. Far from ideal, this may be the last option though for users that for some reason cannot panic on oops. Most of times oopses are clear enough to indicate the kernel portion that must be investigated, but in virtual environments it's possible to observe hypervisor/KVM issues that could lead to oopses shown in other guests CPUs (like virtual APIC crashes). This patch hence aims to help debug such complex issues without resorting to kdump. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.

* | | kernel/hung_task.c: introduce sysctl to print all traces when a hung task is ↵Guilherme G. Piccoli2020-06-081-0/+14

The idea is good, because usually when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as hung. The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays). So, users that plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console, which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command). Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung task is detected. The current approach hence is almost as embedding a policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on hung_task_panic. This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called "hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to allow individual control. The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.

It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or 1, not the full range of integers.

* | | kernel/sysctl: support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command lineVlastimil Babka2020-06-081-0/+9

This series adds support for something that seems like many people always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of sysctl.vm.something=1 The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the sysctl variants. I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more. The conversion also has varying level of success: - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything but warn on deprecated value these days. - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer value - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic, so there's no straighforward conversion possible - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems pointless for a single flag This patch (of 5): A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line. Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that introduce the taint flags of interest. For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e. unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the command line. Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface /proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.

Add one which is consistent with /proc/stat to capture global cpu statistics that might not fall under cgroup accounting. We haven't done this in the past because the data are already presented in /proc/stat and we didn't want to add overhead from collecting root cgroup stats when cgroups are configured, but no cgroups have been created. By keeping the data consistent with /proc/stat, I think we avoid the first problem, while improving the usability of cgroups stats. We avoid the second problem by computing the contents of cpu.stat from existing data collected for /proc/stat anyway.

The changes came in three batches: the first prepared for and then added the ability to pair a single regular block device, the second was a batch of fixes to improve zoned's reclaim heuristic, and the third removed the limitation of only adding a single additional regular block device to allow many devices. Testing has shown linear scaling as more devices are added. - Add new emulated block size (ebs) target that emulates a smaller logical_block_size than a block device supports The primary use-case is to emulate "512e" devices that have 512 byte logical_block_size and 4KB physical_block_size. This is useful to some legacy applications that otherwise wouldn't be able to be used on 4K devices because they depend on issuing IO in 512 byte granularity. - Add discard interfaces to DM bufio. First consumer of the interface is the dm-ebs target that makes heavy use of dm-bufio. - Fix DM crypt's block queue_limits stacking to not truncate logic_block_size. - Add Documentation for DM integrity's status line. - Switch DMDEBUG from a compile time config option to instead use dynamic debug via pr_debug. - Fix DM multipath target's hueristic for how it manages "queue_if_no_path" state internally. DM multipath now avoids disabling "queue_if_no_path" unless it is actually needed (e.g. in response to configure timeout or explicit "fail_if_no_path" message). This fixes reports of spurious -EIO being reported back to userspace application during fault tolerance testing with an NVMe backend. Added various dynamic DMDEBUG messages to assist with debugging queue_if_no_path in the future. - Add a new DM multipath "Historical Service Time" Path Selector. - Fix DM multipath's dm_blk_ioctl() to switch paths on IO error. - Improve DM writecache target performance by using explicit cache flushing for target's single-threaded usecase and a small cleanup to remove unnecessary test in persistent_memory_claim. - Other small cleanups in DM core, dm-persistent-data, and DM integrity. * tag 'for-5.8/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (62 commits) dm crypt: avoid truncating the logical block size dm mpath: add DM device name to Failing/Reinstating path log messages dm mpath: enhance queue_if_no_path debugging dm mpath: restrict queue_if_no_path state machine dm mpath: simplify __must_push_back dm zoned: check superblock location dm zoned: prefer full zones for reclaim dm zoned: select reclaim zone based on device index dm zoned: allocate zone by device index dm zoned: support arbitrary number of devices dm zoned: move random and sequential zones into struct dmz_dev dm zoned: per-device reclaim dm zoned: add metadata pointer to struct dmz_dev dm zoned: add device pointer to struct dm_zone dm zoned: allocate temporary superblock for tertiary devices dm zoned: convert to xarray dm zoned: add a 'reserved' zone flag dm zoned: improve logging messages for reclaim dm zoned: avoid unnecessary device recalulation for secondary superblock dm zoned: add debugging message for reading superblocks ...

The new metadata adds a label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for the underlying block devices. It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device. The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.
