    represents a domain that wb's (bdi_writeback's) belong to and are
    measured against each other in.  This will enable IO backpressure
    propagation for cgroup writeback.

    global_dirty_limit exists to regulate the global dirty threshold which
    is a property of the wb_domain.  This patch moves hard_dirty_limit,
    dirty_lock, and update_time into wb_domain.

    This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any behavioral

Fix: network instrumentation handling of corrupted TCP headers

A malformed packet may contain a valid IPv4/IPv6 header, but an
inconsistent TCP header. As a result, the trace contains a fully
formed IPv4/IPv6 header, including the "protocol" or "nexthdr"
fields indicating TCP, but no following TCP header.

This scenario leads to an unreadable CTF trace, because the
trace viewer expects a TCP header, but instead gets the next
event.

Therefore, using the IP header fields as selector for the
transport layer variant is not the right approach: introduce
our own selector field, which allows to properly deal with this
corner-case.

ckt (Canonical Kernel Team) kernels were used for a while during the jessie

an additionnal -cktX. They were all 3.16.7-cktX and after a while the version
switched back to upstream style at 3.16.36.

    locking/atomics, mm: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

    For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
    preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
    former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
    ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.

    However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
    writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
    distinction is critical to correct operation.

    It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
    script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
    to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
    step, this patch converts the mm code and comments to use
    {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

    timer: Prepare to change timer callback argument type

    Modern kernel callback systems pass the structure associated with a
    given callback to the callback function. The timer callback remains one
    of the legacy cases where an arbitrary unsigned long argument continues
    to be passed as the callback argument. This has several problems:

    - This bloats the timer_list structure with a normally redundant
      .data field.

    - No type checking is being performed, forcing callbacks to do
      explicit type casts of the unsigned long argument into the object
      that was passed, rather than using container_of(), as done in most
      of the other callback infrastructure.

    - Neighboring buffer overflows can overwrite both the .function and
      the .data field, providing attackers with a way to elevate from a buffer
      overflow into a simplistic ROP-like mechanism that allows calling
      arbitrary functions with a controlled first argument.

    - For future Control Flow Integrity work, this creates a unique function
      prototype for timer callbacks, instead of allowing them to continue to
      be clustered with other void functions that take a single unsigned long
      argument.

    This adds a new timer initialization API, which will ultimately replace
    the existing setup_timer(), setup_{deferrable,pinned,etc}_timer() family,
    named timer_setup() (to mirror hrtimer_setup(), making instances of its
    use much easier to grep for).

    In order to support the migration of existing timers into the new
    callback arguments, timer_setup() casts its arguments to the existing
    legacy types, and explicitly passes the timer pointer as the legacy
    data argument. Once all setup_*timer() callers have been replaced with
    timer_setup(), the casts can be removed, and the data argument can be
    dropped with the timer expiration code changed to just pass the timer
    to the callback directly.

:
    Modern kernel callback systems pass the structure associated with a
    given callback to the callback function. The timer callback remains one
    of the legacy cases where an arbitrary unsigned long argument continues
    to be passed as the callback argument. This has several problems:

    - This bloats the timer_list structure with a normally redundant
      .data field.

    - No type checking is being performed, forcing callbacks to do
      explicit type casts of the unsigned long argument into the object
      that was passed, rather than using container_of(), as done in most
      of the other callback infrastructure.

    - Neighboring buffer overflows can overwrite both the .function and
      the .data field, providing attackers with a way to elevate from a buffer
      overflow into a simplistic ROP-like mechanism that allows calling
      arbitrary functions with a controlled first argument.

    - For future Control Flow Integrity work, this creates a unique function
      prototype for timer callbacks, instead of allowing them to continue to
      be clustered with other void functions that take a single unsigned long
      argument.

    This adds a new timer initialization API, which will ultimately replace
    the existing setup_timer(), setup_{deferrable,pinned,etc}_timer() family,
    named timer_setup() (to mirror hrtimer_setup(), making instances of its
    use much easier to grep for).

    In order to support the migration of existing timers into the new
    callback arguments, timer_setup() casts its arguments to the existing
    legacy types, and explicitly passes the timer pointer as the legacy
    data argument. Once all setup_*timer() callers have been replaced with
    timer_setup(), the casts can be removed, and the data argument can be
    dropped with the timer expiration code changed to just pass the timer
    to the callback directly.

    Since the regular pattern of using container_of() during local variable
    declaration repeats the need for the variable type declaration
    to be included, this adds a helper modeled after other from_*()
    helpers that wrap container_of(), named from_timer(). This helper uses
    typeof(*variable), removing the type redundancy and minimizing the need
    for line wraps in forthcoming conversions from "unsigned data long" to
    "struct timer_list *" in the timer callbacks:

    -void callback(unsigned long data)
    +void callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
    -   struct some_data_structure *local = (struct some_data_structure *)data;
    +   struct some_data_structure *local = from_timer(local, t, timer);

    Finally, in order to support the handful of timer users that perform
    open-coded assignments of the .function (and .data) fields, provide
    cast macros (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE) that can be used
    temporarily. Once conversion has been completed, these can be globally
    trivially removed.

    treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()

    This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
    timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
    holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
    since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
    the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
    examples, in addition to some other variations.

Fix: lttng_kvmalloc helper NULL pointer OOPS

The static function __vmalloc_node is not visible by KALLSYMS_ALL on at
least some kernels, which leads to a call to a NULL function when trying
to perform allocation of lttng buffer memory under memory fragmentation
conditions (kmalloc_node failure).

Use __vmalloc_node_range instead, and check that the returned pointer
is non-NULL to ensure this type of failure does not happen in any
condition.

Fallback to __vmalloc(), even though it is not NUMA-aware, in case
we fail to find __vmalloc_node_range, and print an explicit warning
to the user console about the need to enable KALLSYMS_ALL.

This affects kernels < 4.12. Later kernels provide kvmalloc(), which
we use.

    being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
    accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
    confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
    throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
    still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

    mm: move vmscan writes and file write accounting to the node

    As reclaim is now node-based, it follows that page write activity due to
    page reclaim should also be accounted for on the node.  For consistency,
    also account page writes and page dirtying on a per-node basis.

    After this patch, there are a few remaining zone counters that may appear
    strange but are fine.  NUMA stats are still per-zone as this is a
    user-space interface that tools consume.  NR_MLOCK, NR_SLAB_*,
    NR_PAGETABLE, NR_KERNEL_STACK and NR_BOUNCE are all allocations that
    potentially pin low memory and cannot trivially be reclaimed on demand.
    This information is still useful for debugging a page allocation failure
    warning.

    block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
    request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node

    For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists

    partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
    used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

    Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or

Add kmalloc failover to vmalloc

This patch is based on the kvmalloc helpers introduced in kernel 4.12.

vmalloc for systems under high memory pressure or fragmentation.

    mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers

    Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.

    There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
    tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
    the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
    a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
    part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
    invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
    which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
    fallback is available.

    As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
    knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
    strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
    subsystem proper.

    Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
    instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
    in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
    was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

    This patch (of 9):

    Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
    common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
    for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
    really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
    it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
    a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
    to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
    killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
    user visible action.

Some architectures (e.g. implementations of arm64) implement their

It has the upside of making the cache access faster (no TLB lookup
required to access the cache line), but the downside of requiring
virtual mappings (e.g. kernel vs user-space) to be aligned on the number
of bits used for cache aliasing.

Perform dcache flushing for the entire sub-buffer in the get_subbuf

Mathieu Desnoyers [Fri, 10 Feb 2017 01:46:44 +0000 (20:46 -0500)] 
Fix: nmi-safe clock on 32-bit systems

On 32-bit systems, the algorithm within lttng-modules that ensures the
nmi-safe clock increases monotonically on a CPU assumes to have one
clock read per 32-bit LSB overflow period, which is not guaranteed. It
also has an issue on the first clock reads after module load, because
the initial value for the last LSB is 0. It can cause the time to stay
stuck at the same value for a few seconds at the beginning of the trace,
which is unfortunate for the first trace after module load, because this
is where the offset between realtime and trace_clock is sampled, which
prevents correlation of kernel and user-space traces for that session.

It only affects 32-bit systems with kernels >= 3.17.

Fix this by using the non-nmi-safe clock source on 32-bit systems.

While we are there, remove an implementation-defined c99 behavior
regarding casting u64 to long by using unsigned arithmetic instead:

turn:
  if (((long) now - (long) last) < 0)
into:
