fork: report pid reservation failure properly
copy_process will report any failure in alloc_pid as ENOMEM currently
which is misleading because the pid allocation might fail not only when
the memory is short but also when the pid space is consumed already.
The current man page even mentions this case:
: EAGAIN
:
: A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered.
: There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the
: RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which
: limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was
: reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes
: and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see
: proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max,
: was reached (see proc(5)).
so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt. documentation. POSIX man
page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached.
This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we
return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure. This will make behavior of
fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX.
alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead
(the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no
good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally
returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per
Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7)
: If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel
: terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal.
: This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for
: the correct operation of a PID namespace. In this case, a subsequent
: fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is
: not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init"
: process has terminated.
and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to
ENOMEM for this case.

hfsplus: don't store special "osx" xattr prefix on-disk
On Mac OS X, HFS+ extended attributes are not namespaced. Since we want
to be compatible with OS X filesystems and yet still support the Linux
namespacing system, the hfsplus driver implements a special "osx"
namespace that is reported for any attribute that is not namespaced
on-disk. However, the current code for getting and setting these
unprefixed attributes is broken.
hfsplus_osx_setattr() and hfsplus_osx_getattr() are passed names that have
already had their "osx." prefixes stripped by the generic functions. The
functions first, quite correctly, check those names to make sure that they
aren't prefixed with a known namespace, which would allow namespace access
restrictions to be bypassed. However, the functions then prepend "osx."
to the name they're given before passing it on to hfsplus_getattr() and
hfsplus_setattr(). Not only does this cause the "osx." prefix to be
stored on-disk, defeating its purpose, it also breaks the check for the
special "com.apple.FinderInfo" attribute, which is reported for all files,
and as a consequence makes some userspace applications (e.g. GNU patch)
fail even when extended attributes are not otherwise in use.
There are five commits which have touched this particular code:
127e5f5ae51e ("hfsplus: rework functionality of getting, setting and deleting of extended attributes") b168fff72109 ("hfsplus: use xattr handlers for removexattr") bf29e886b242 ("hfsplus: correct usage of HFSPLUS_ATTR_MAX_STRLEN for non-English attributes") fcacbd95e121 ("fs/hfsplus: move xattr_name allocation in hfsplus_getxattr()") ec1bbd346f18 ("fs/hfsplus: move xattr_name allocation in hfsplus_setxattr()")
The first commit creates the functions to begin with. The namespace is
prepended by the original code, which I believe was correct at the time,
since hfsplus_?etattr() stripped the prefix if found. The second commit
removes this behavior from hfsplus_?etattr() and appears to have been
intended to also remove the prefixing from hfsplus_osx_?etattr().
However, what it actually does is remove a necessary strncpy() call
completely, breaking the osx namespace entirely. The third commit re-adds
the strncpy() call as it was originally, but doesn't mention it in its
commit message. The final two commits refactor the code and don't affect
its functionality.
This commit does what b168fff attempted to do (prevent the prefix from
being added), but does it properly, instead of passing in an empty buffer
(which is what b168fff actually did).

nilfs2: use inode_set_flags() in nilfs_set_inode_flags()
Use inode_set_flags() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out
the S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
FS_IMMUTABLE_FL, FS_APPEND_FL flags to avoid a race where an immutable
file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief window of time.
This is a similar fix to commit 5f16f3225b06 ("ext4: atomically set
inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()").
nilfs2: put out gfp mask manipulation from nilfs_set_inode_flags()
nilfs_set_inode_flags() function adjusts gfp-mask of inode->i_mapping as
well as i_flags, however, this coupling of operations is not appropriate.
For instance, nilfs_ioctl_setflags(), one of three callers of
nilfs_set_inode_flags(), doesn't need to reinitialize the gfp-mask at all.
In addition, nilfs_new_inode(), another caller of
nilfs_set_inode_flags(), doesn't either because it has already initialized
the gfp-mask.
Only __nilfs_read_inode(), the remaining caller, needs it. So, this moves
the gfp mask manipulation to __nilfs_read_inode() from
nilfs_set_inode_flags().

nilfs2: improve execution time of NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO ioctl
The older a filesystem gets, the slower lscp command becomes. This is
because nilfs_cpfile_do_get_cpinfo() function meets more hole blocks
as the start offset of valid checkpoint numbers gets bigger.
This reduces the overhead by skipping hole blocks efficiently with
nilfs_mdt_find_block() helper.
A measurement result of this patch is as follows:
Before:
$ time lscp

entry and returns its key starting from a given key. This function
can be used to skip hole blocks efficiently.

nilfs2: unify type of key arguments in bmap interface
The type of key arguments in block mapping interface varies depending

long".
This fits them to "__u64" to eliminate the variation.
nilfs2: use set_mask_bits() for operations on buffer state bitmap
nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page(), and
nilfs_segctor_complete_write() are using a bunch of atomic bit operations
against buffer state bitmap.
This reduces the number of them by utilizing set_mask_bits() macro.
nilfs2: do not use async write flag for segment summary buffers
The async write flag is introduced to nilfs2 in the commit 7f42ec394156
("nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments
for dirty blocks"), but the flag only makes sense for data buffers and
btree node buffers. It is not needed for segment summary buffers.
This gets rid of the latter uses as part of refactoring of atomic bit
operations on buffer state bitmap.
drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c: fix swapped enable/disable of clockout control bit
The hym8563 datasheet describes the clock output control-bit as "when set

CLKOUT output is inhibited". But in reality the setting is exactly
opposite.
Before now, the clock output was not really used, but on the rk3288 soc
this generated clock is used to supply the temperature sensor block and
the swapped bit value prevented it from working. With the corrected
value, the tsadc now reports correct values.
drivers/rtc/rtc-omap.c: unlock and lock rtc registers before and after register writes
RTC module contains a kicker mechanism to prevent any spurious writes from
changing the register values. This mechanism requires two MMR writes to
the KICK0 and KICK1 registers with exact data values before the kicker
lock mechanism is released.
Currently the driver release the lock in the probe and leaves it enabled
until the rtc driver removal. This eliminates the idea of preventing
spurious writes when RTC driver is loaded. So implement rtc lock and
unlock functions before and after register writes.
This is as advised by Paul to implement lock and unlock functions in the
driver and not to unlock and leave it in probe. The same discussion can
be seen here:

rtc: stmp3xxx: use optional crystal in low power states
The rtc's status register allows to determine if a 32k crystal is
connected to keep the rtc running in low power states provided the
corresponding fuse bits were blown correctly during production. (In case
they were not, the right frequency can be stated in the device tree.) If
there is no such crystal available force the 24 MHz XTAL clock to keep
running to retain the right date and time. Otherwise use the crystal to
save some power.
It would be nice to only switch to the crystal when the XTAL clock is
about to be disabled and keep the crystal off when unneeded because XTAL
is always on while the chip is powered on. But as sudden power loss isn't
detectable this is not save.
sprintf() reliably returns the number of characters printed, so we don't
need to ask strlen() where we are. Also replace calling sprintf("%02x")
in a loop with the much simpler bin2hex().

checkpatch: improve operator spacing check
Code such as:
x = timercmp(&now, &end, <);
Will currently trigger a checkpatch error. e.g.
ERROR: spaces required around that '<'
This is because the "Ignore operators passed as parameters" check looks
only for a comma following the operator. Improve the check by also
looking for a close parenthesis.

checkpatch, SubmittingPatches: suggest line wrapping commit messages at 75 columns
Commit messages lines are sometimes overly long.
Suggest line wrapping at 75 columns so the default git commit log
indentation of 4 plus the commit message text still fits on an 80 column

Add a checkpatch test for long commit messages lines too.

I hadn't had enough coffee when I wrote this. Currently, the final
increment of buf depends on the value loaded from the table, and
causes gcc to emit a cmov immediately before the return. It is smarter
to let it depend on r, since the increment can then be computed in
parallel with the final load/store pair. It also shaves 16 bytes of
.text.

This series unduplicates the code used to find the member in an array
closest to 'x'.
The first patch adds a macro implementing the algorithm in two flavors -
for arrays sorted in ascending and descending order. The second updates
Documentation/CodingStyle on the naming convention for local variables in
macros resembling functions. Other three patches replace duplicated code
with calls to one of these macros in some hwmon drivers.
This patch (of 5):
Searching for the member of an array closest to 'x' is duplicated in
several places.
Add a new include - util_macros.h - and two macros that implement this
algorithm for arrays sorted both in ascending and descending order.
Uses linear search.

lib/dma-debug: fix bucket_find_contain()
bucket_find_contain() will search the bucket list for a dma_debug_entry.
When the entry isn't found it needs to search other buckets too, since
only the start address of a dma range is hashed (which might be in a
different bucket).
A copy of the dma_debug_entry is used to get the previous hash bucket
but when its list is searched the original dma_debug_entry is to be used
not its modified copy.
This fixes false "device driver tries to sync DMA memory it has not allocated"
warnings.

lib/vsprintf.c: even faster binary to decimal conversion
The most expensive part of decimal conversion is the divisions by 10
(albeit done using reciprocal multiplication with appropriately chosen
constants). I decided to see if one could eliminate around half of
these multiplications by emitting two digits at a time, at the cost of a
200 byte lookup table, and it does indeed seem like there is something
to be gained, especially on 64 bits. Microbenchmarking shows
improvements ranging from -50% (for numbers uniformly distributed in [0,
2^64-1]) to -25% (for numbers heavily biased toward the smaller end, a
more realistic distribution).
On a larger scale, perf shows that top, one of the big consumers of /proc
data, uses 0.5-1.0% fewer cpu cycles.
I had to jump through some hoops to get the 32 bit code to compile and run
on my 64 bit machine, so I'm not sure how relevant these numbers are, but
just for comparison the microbenchmark showed improvements between -30%
and -10%.
The bloat-o-meter costs are around 150 bytes (the generated code is a
little smaller, so it's not the full 200 bytes) on both 32 and 64 bit.
I'm aware that extra cache misses won't show up in a microbenchmark as
used above, but on the other hand decimal conversions often happen in bulk
(for example in the case of top).
I have of course tested that the new code generates the same output as the
old, for both the first and last 1e10 numbers in [0,2^64-1] and 4e9
'random' numbers in-between.

This patchset does rework to find_bit function family to achieve better
performance, and decrease size of text. All rework is done in patch 1.
Patches 2 and 3 are about code moving and renaming.
It was boot-tested on x86_64 and MIPS (big-endian) machines.
Performance tests were ran on userspace with code like this:
/* addr[] is filled from /dev/urandom */
start = clock();
while (ret < nbits)
ret = find_next_bit(addr, nbits, ret + 1);
end = clock();
printf("%ld\t", (unsigned long) end - start);
On Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz measurements are: (for
find_next_bit, nbits is 8M, for find_first_bit - 80K)
find_next_bit performance gain is 35-40%;
find_first_bit - no measurable difference.
On ARM machine, there is arch-specific implementation for find_bit.
Thanks a lot to George Spelvin and Rasmus Villemoes for hints and
helpful discussions.
This patch (of 3):
New implementations takes less space in source file (see diffstat) and in
object. For me it's 710 vs 453 bytes of text. It also shows better
performance.
find_last_bit description fixed due to obvious typo.

Commit 9c521a200bc3 ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed")
tried to grab a module reference count before the module was even set.
Worse, it then goes on to free the module reference count after it is
set so you quickly end up with a negative module reference count which
prevents people from using any instances belonging to that module.
This patch moves the module initialisation before the reference
count.
