Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

We set the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag in the btrfs_recover_balance()
only, which isn't called during the remount. So when resuming from
the paused balance we hit the bug:
kernel: kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:3890!
::
kernel: balance_kthread+0x51/0x60 [btrfs]
kernel: kthread+0x111/0x130
::

Reproducer:
On a mounted filesystem:
btrfs balance start --full-balance /btrfs
btrfs balance pause /btrfs
mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb /btrfs
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb /btrfs
To fix this set the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag in
btrfs_resume_balance_async().

"An unfortunately larger set of fixes, but a large portion is

- Fix the missing clusterid initializaiton for x2apic cluster
management which caused boot failures due to IPIs being sent to the

- Drop TX_COMPAT when a 64bit executable is exec()'ed from a compat

- Wrap access to __supported_pte_mask in __startup_64() where clang
compile fails due to a non PC relative access being generated.
- Two fixes for 5 level paging fallout in the decompressor:
- Handle GOT correctly for paging_prepare() and

- Fix the page table handling in cleanup_trampoline() to avoid
page table corruption.
- Stop special casing protection key 0 as this is inconsistent with

Commit 7771c6645700 ("signal/arm: Document conflicts with SI_USER and
SIGFPE") broke the siginfo structure for userspace triggered signals,
causing the strace testsuite to regress. Fix this by eliminating
the FPE_FIXME definition (which is at the root of the breakage) and
use FPE_FLTINV instead for the case where the hardware appears to be
reporting nonsense.

When a transaction is aborted btrfs_cleanup_transaction is called to
cleanup all the various in-flight bits and pieces which migth be
active. One of those is delalloc inodes - inodes which have dirty
pages which haven't been persisted yet. Currently the process of
freeing such delalloc inodes in exceptional circumstances such as
transaction abort boiled down to calling btrfs_invalidate_inodes whose
sole job is to invalidate the dentries for all inodes related to a
root. This is in fact wrong and insufficient since such delalloc inodes
will likely have pending pages or ordered-extents and will be linked to
the sb->s_inode_list. This means that unmounting a btrfs instance with
an aborted transaction could potentially lead inodes/their pages
visible to the system long after their superblock has been freed. This
in turn leads to a "use-after-free" situation once page shrink is
triggered. This situation could be simulated by running generic/019
which would cause such inodes to be left hanging, followed by
generic/176 which causes memory pressure and page eviction which lead
to touching the freed super block instance. This situation is
additionally detected by the unmount code of VFS with the following
message:
"VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day..."
Additionally btrfs hits WARN_ON(!RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&root->inode_tree));
in free_fs_root for the same reason.
This patch aims to rectify the sitaution by doing the following:
1. Change btrfs_destroy_delalloc_inodes so that it calls
invalidate_inode_pages2 for every inode on the delalloc list, this
ensures that all the pages of the inode are released. This function
boils down to calling btrfs_releasepage. During test I observed cases
where inodes on the delalloc list were having an i_count of 0, so this
necessitates using igrab to be sure we are working on a non-freed inode.
2. Since calling btrfs_releasepage might queue delayed iputs move the
call out to btrfs_cleanup_transaction in btrfs_error_commit_super before
calling run_delayed_iputs for the last time. This is necessary to ensure
that delayed iputs are run.
Note: this patch is tagged for 4.14 stable but the fix applies to older
versions too but needs to be backported manually due to conflicts.

Pull UP timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"Work around the for_each_cpu() oddity on UP kernels in the tick
broadcast code which causes boot failures because the CPU0 bit is
always reported as set independent of the cpumask content"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
tick/broadcast: Use for_each_cpu() specially on UP kernels
The x86 mmap() code selects the mmap base for an allocation depending on
the bitness of the syscall. For 64bit sycalls it select mm->mmap_base and
for 32bit mm->mmap_compat_base.
exec() calls mmap() which in turn uses in_compat_syscall() to check whether
the mapping is for a 32bit or a 64bit task. The decision is made on the
following criteria:
ia32 child->thread.status & TS_COMPAT
x32 child->pt_regs.orig_ax & __X32_SYSCALL_BIT
ia64 !ia32 && !x32
__set_personality_x32() was dropping TS_COMPAT flag, but
set_personality_64bit() has kept compat syscall flag making
in_compat_syscall() return true during the first exec() syscall.
Which in result has user-visible effects, mentioned by Alexey:
1) It breaks ASAN
$ gcc -fsanitize=address wrap.c -o wrap-asan
$ ./wrap32 ./wrap-asan true
==1217==Shadow memory range interleaves with an existing memory mapping. ASan cannot proceed correctly. ABORTING.
==1217==ASan shadow was supposed to be located in the [0x00007fff7000-0x10007fff7fff] range.

that ld.so is going to be mapped into the first 4GB in this case
(the same thing happens for PIEs as well).

execvp(argv[1], &argv[1]);
