We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the syscall... For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch) So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical syscall entry. The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things static.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.

One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : #define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var))) __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base. Transformations done to __get_cpu_var() 1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y); 2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

Uprobes is enabled and the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled. - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the IPTE range facility is added. - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be able to use the interlocked-access instructions. - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added. - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process. - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration. - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used. - Bug fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (39 commits) s390/ftrace: simplify enabling/disabling of ftrace_graph_caller s390/ftrace: remove 31 bit ftrace support s390/kdump: add support for vector extension s390/disassembler: add vector instructions s390: add support for vector extension s390/zcrypt: Toleration of new crypto hardware s390/idle: consolidate idle functions and definitions s390/nohz: use a per-cpu flag for arch_needs_cpu s390/vtime: do not reset idle data on CPU hotplug s390/dasd: add support for control unit initiated reconfiguration s390/dasd: fix infinite loop during format s390/mm: make use of ipte range facility s390/setup: correct 4-level kernel page table detection s390/topology: call set_sched_topology early s390/uprobes: architecture backend for uprobes s390/uprobes: common library for kprobes and uprobes s390/rwlock: use the interlocked-access facility 1 instructions s390/rwlock: improve writer fairness s390/rwlock: remove interrupt-enabling rwlock variant. s390/mm: remove change bit override support ...

The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register ELF note. The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31. The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract the registers of the production system. The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored with the VSTM instruction. With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

For the spinlock case this saves us two memory reads and a not needed cpu serialization after the compare and swap instruction stored the new value. The kernel size (performance_defconfig) gets reduced by ~14k. Average execution time of a tight inlined spin_unlock loop drops from 5.8ns to 0.7ns on a zEC12 machine. An artificial stress test case where several counters are protected with a single spinlock and which are only incremented while holding the spinlock shows ~30% improvement on a 4 cpu machine.

We achieve that by using a non-standard C function call ABI. Since the called function is also written in assembler this is not a problem. This also allows to replace the unconditional store at the beginning of the mcount block with a larl instruction, which doesn't touch memory. In theory we could also patch the first instruction of the mcount block to enable and disable function tracing. However this would break kprobes. This could be fixed with implementing the "kprobes_on_ftrace" feature; however keeping the odd jprobes working seems not to be possible without a lot of code churn. Therefore keep the code easy and simply accept one wasted 1-cycle "larl" instruction per function prologue.

Besides that also use asm offsets to correctly allocate and access the new struct pt_regs on the stack. While at it we can make use of new instruction to get rid of some indirect loads if compiled for new machines. The passed struct pt_regs can be changed by the called function and it's new contents will replace the current contents. Note: to change the return address the embedded psw member of the pt_regs structure must be changed. The psw member is right now incomplete, since the mask part is missing. For all current use cases this should be sufficent. Providing and restoring a sane mask would mean we need to add an epsw/lpswe pair to the mcount code. Only these two instruction would cost us ~120 cycles which currently seems not necessary.

Rather than coming up with a kludge to get the parameter to work in mode 2, just remove the parameter. To avoid churn in arches that don't have seccomp filters (and may not even support syscall_get_nr right now), this leaves the parameter in secure_computing_strict, which is now a real function. For ARM, this is a bit ugly due to the fact that ARM conditionally supports seccomp filters. Fixing that would probably only be a couple of lines of code, but it should be coordinated with the audit maintainers. This will be a slight slowdown on some arches. The right fix is to pass in all of seccomp_data instead of trying to make just the syscall nr part be fast. This is a prerequisite for making two-phase seccomp work cleanly.

This is the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of several individuals. Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires. skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to call the driver immediately with another SKB to send. There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in software is now done with no locks held. Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can be used to test a multi-send implementation. Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4, virtio_net Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to support this optimization soon. I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann, David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell. 2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon. 3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From Govindarajulu Varadarajan. 4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from Florian Fainelli. 5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled, but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen(). From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric Dumazet. 6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom Herbert. 7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann. 9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John Fastabend. 10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander Duyck. 11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric Dumazet. 12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From Florian Westphal. 13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly faster.
