use fault-inject.c at the time, and stacktrace.c was somehow missed (or
something has changed in kernel/configs). This change both speeds up

There were few episodes of silent downgrade to an executable stack over
years:
1) linking innocent looking assembly file will silently add executable
stack if proper linker options is not given as well:
$ cat f.S
.intel_syntax noprefix
.text
.globl f
f:
ret
$ cat main.c
void f(void);
int main(void)
{
f();
return 0;
}
$ gcc main.c f.S
$ readelf -l ./a.out
GNU_STACK 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 RWE 0x10
^^^
2) converting C99 nested function into a closure
https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/11/15/
void intsort2(int *base, size_t nmemb, _Bool invert)
{
int cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
int r = *(int *)a - *(int *)b;
return invert ? -r : r;
}
qsort(base, nmemb, sizeof(*base), cmp);
}
will silently require stack trampolines while non-closure version will
not.
Without doubt this behaviour is documented somewhere, add a warning so
that developers and users can at least notice. After so many years of
x86_64 having proper executable stack support it should not cause too
many problems.

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2.
unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as
either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the
function is broken for quoted command line arguments.
When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args
and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line has
param\0"value\0
with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function
repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was
removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results in
param=value\0\0
and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This
bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate
function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead
code.
This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where
the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param:
1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a
potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be
placed in init's environment.
2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is
an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the
comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param='
against the existing environment. So passing, for example,
TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both
TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment.
Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init
and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is
unnecessarily verbose.
Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in
do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now
and the repairing is no longer necessary.
Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of
param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param.
This patch (of 3):
Commit a99cd11251 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be
passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption
by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function.
When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to
strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the
actual location of the value.
The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly
treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's
environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a
duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will
result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's
environment.
Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling
repair_env_string instead of relying on val.

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3.
With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It
implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU)
with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of
magnitude faster than the current zlib.
This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib.
The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation:
https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410
The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is
only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel.
Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in
advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter
lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction.
Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32
checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like
it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware
on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will
always happen in hardware (when enabled).
Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they
both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the
respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the
page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression
when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce
the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway.
The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to
configure s390 zlib hardware support:
Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
level 1 and decompression (default)
off: No s390 zlib hardware support
def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
only (compression on level 1)
inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
only (decompression)
always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
level always using hardware support (used for debugging)
The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel
zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly
compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used
during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image
With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch
6) the following performance results have been achieved using the
ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate
and compression ratio for zlib level 1:
Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio
NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software
stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00
random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96
ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94
binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02
This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster
compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers
to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib.
Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD
command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in
native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual
workload, configuration and software levels.
This patch (of 9):
Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL
implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate
functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace
structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.
Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before
looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly
detect non-same element pages.
1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
number and measures the speed at off-line
Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes =
512. The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled()
function only. The result, on average, is listed as below:
Num of Iter Speed(MB/s)
Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265
Looping-Backward 36 102725
Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072
The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and
the speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not
increase the overall time complexity, though.
I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.
