bitmap, lib, lz4, checkpatch, nilfs, kdump, rapidio, gcov, bfs, relay,
resource, ubsan, reboot, fault-injection, lzo, apparmor, and mm (swap,
memory-hotplug, pagemap, cleanups, and gup).

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (86 commits)
  mm: fix some spelling mistakes in comments
  mm: simplify follow_pte{,pmd}

<title>exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore</title>

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

<title>seccomp/cache: Report cache data through /proc/pid/seccomp_cache</title>

<id>0d8315dddd2899f519fe1ca3d4d5cdaf44ea421e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the kernel does not provide an infrastructure to translate
architecture numbers to a human-readable name. Translating syscall
numbers to syscall names is possible through FTRACE_SYSCALL
infrastructure but it does not provide support for compat syscalls.

This will create a file for each PID as /proc/pid/seccomp_cache.
The file will be empty when no seccomp filters are loaded, or be
in the format of:
&lt;arch name&gt; &lt;decimal syscall number&gt; &lt;ALLOW | FILTER&gt;
where ALLOW means the cache is guaranteed to allow the syscall,
and filter means the cache will pass the syscall to the BPF filter.

For the docker default profile on x86_64 it looks like:
x86_64 0 ALLOW
x86_64 1 ALLOW
x86_64 2 ALLOW
x86_64 3 ALLOW
[...]
x86_64 132 ALLOW
x86_64 133 ALLOW
x86_64 134 FILTER
x86_64 135 FILTER
x86_64 136 FILTER
x86_64 137 ALLOW
x86_64 138 ALLOW
x86_64 139 FILTER
x86_64 140 ALLOW
x86_64 141 ALLOW
[...]

This file is guarded by CONFIG_SECCOMP_CACHE_DEBUG with a default
of N because I think certain users of seccomp might not want the
application to know which syscalls are definitely usable. For
the same reason, it is also guarded by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

For oom_score_adj values in the range [942,999], the current

Make sure the async io-wq workers inherit the loginuid and sessionid from
the original task, and restore them to unset once we're done with the
async work item.

While at it, disable the ability for kernel threads to write to their own
loginuid.

<title>mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessary</title>

<id>67197a4f28d28d0b073ab0427b03cb2ee5382578</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm.  This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.

Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important.  Such operation can happen frequently.  We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression.  Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us.  Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the

Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with

MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj

oom_adj_mutex.  Its scope is changed to global.

The combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork().  To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified.  Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare.  Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.

With the combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm.  This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.

Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important.  Such operation can happen frequently.  We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression.  Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us.  Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.

Recently we found an issue on our production environment that when memcg
oom is triggered the oom killer doesn't chose the process with largest
resident memory but chose the first scanned process.  Note that all
processes in this memcg have the same oom_score_adj, so the oom killer
should chose the process with largest resident memory.

Bellow is part of the oom info, which is enough to analyze this issue.

[7516988.092344] oom_reaper: reaped process 5740 (pause), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB

We can find that the first scanned process 5740 (pause) was killed, but
its rss is only one page.  That is because, when we calculate the oom
badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert
all of these negtive points to 1.  Now as oom_score_adj of all the
processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of
these processes are all negtive value.  As a result, the first scanned
process will be killed.

The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a
a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed
by system oom.

To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more
accurate.  We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned
long' to 'long'.

[7516987.984254] Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 5740 (pause) total-vm:1028kB, anon-rss:4kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
[7516988.092344] oom_reaper: reaped process 5740 (pause), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB

We can find that the first scanned process 5740 (pause) was killed, but
its rss is only one page.  That is because, when we calculate the oom
badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert
all of these negtive points to 1.  Now as oom_score_adj of all the
processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of
these processes are all negtive value.  As a result, the first scanned
process will be killed.

The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a
a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed
by system oom.

To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more
accurate.  We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned
long' to 'long'.

Opening files in /proc/pid/map_files when the current user is
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capable in the root namespace is useful for
checkpointing and restoring to recover files that are unreachable via
the file system such as deleted files, or memfd files.
