Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.
Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:
[ 15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 15.849765] (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff810aa9b5>] __queue_work+0x145/0x480

[ 15.850051] lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
[ 15.850051]
[ 15.850051] *** DEADLOCK ***
The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fdd4dc48451a ("timekeeping:
Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps") in 3.10
This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock
critical section.

Since the panic handlers may produce additional information (via printk)
for the kernel log, it should be reported as part of the panic output
saved by kmsg_dump(). Without this re-ordering, nothing that adds
information to a panic will show up in pstore's view when kmsg_dump runs,
and is therefore not visible to crash reporting tools that examine pstore
output.

__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task !=
current, this can can lead to surprising results.
For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the
executable is not readable. setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that
inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does
set_dumpable(suid_dumpable). After that get_dumpable() fails.
(It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we
could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE)
Change __ptrace_may_access() to use same_thread_group() instead of "task
== current". Any security check is pointless when the tasks share the
same ->mm.

The current two insn slot caches both use module_alloc/module_free to
allocate and free insn slot cache pages.
For s390 this is not sufficient since there is the need to allocate insn
slots that are either within the vmalloc module area or within dma memory.
Therefore add a mechanism which allows to specify an own allocator for an
own insn slot cache.

The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots
with module_alloc(). The assumption is that the kernel image and module
area are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area.
This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within
the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the
vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area.
For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within
+/- 2GB of each area. That way we can patch displacements of
pc-relative instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and
powerpc.
The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator,
however there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the
first 2GB on s390 (aka DMA area).
Therefore this patch set modifies the kprobes insn slot cache code in
order to allow to specify a custom allocator for the insn slot cache
pages. In addition architecure can now have private insn slot caches
withhout the need to modify common code.
Patch 1 unifies and simplifies the current insn and optinsn caches
implementation. This is a preparation which allows to add more
insn caches in a simple way.
Patch 2 adds the possibility to specify a custom allocator.
Patch 3 makes s390 use the new insn slot mechanisms and adds support for
pc-relative instructions with long displacements.
This patch (of 3):
The two insn caches (insn, and optinsn) each have an own mutex and
alloc/free functions (get_[opt]insn_slot() / free_[opt]insn_slot()).
Since there is the need for yet another insn cache which satifies dma
allocations on s390, unify and simplify the current implementation:
- Move the per insn cache mutex into struct kprobe_insn_cache.
- Move the alloc/free functions to kprobe.h so they are simply
wrappers for the generic __get_insn_slot/__free_insn_slot functions.
The implementation is done with a DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS() macro
which provides the alloc/free functions for each cache if needed.
- move the struct kprobe_insn_cache to kprobe.h which allows to generate
architecture specific insn slot caches outside of the core kprobes
code.

As in commit f21afc25f9ed ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in
!SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they
are not already enabled.
I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional
local_irq_enable(), but I want to use this function in MIPS/OCTEON early
boot (when we have early_boot_irqs_disabled). This also makes this
function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in
itself.

out-of-line in up.c. Move on_each_cpu() there as well.
This allows us to get rid of the #include <linux/irqflags.h>. The

Since they are not trivial functions, make them non-inline by moving

When running with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y, the locking implementations emit
calls to arch_{read,write,spin}_relax when spinning on a contended lock
in order to allow architectures to favour the CPU owning the lock if
possible.
In reality, everybody apart from PowerPC and S390 just does cpu_relax()
here, so make that the default behaviour and allow it to be overridden
if required.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

Now hugepage migration is enabled, although restricted on pmd-based
hugepages for now (due to lack of testing.) So we should allocate
migratable hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE if possible.
This patch makes GFP flags in hugepage allocation dependent on migration
support, not only the value of hugepages_treat_as_movable. It provides no
change on the behavior for architectures which do not support hugepage
migration,

do_fork() denies CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PARENT if NEWUSER | NEWPID.
Then later copy_process() denies CLONE_SIGHAND if the new process will
be in a different pid namespace (task_active_pid_ns() doesn't match
current->nsproxy->pid_ns).
This looks confusing and inconsistent. CLONE_NEWPID is very similar to
the case when ->pid_ns was already unshared, we want the same
restrictions so copy_process() should also nack CLONE_PARENT.
And it would be better to deny CLONE_NEWUSER && CLONE_SIGHAND as well
just for consistency.
Kill the "CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID" check in do_fork() and change
copy_process() to do the same check along with ->pid_ns check we already
have.

Commit 8382fcac1b81 ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns. This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.
Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.
Test-case:
static int child(void *arg)
{
return 0;
}
static char stack[16 * 1024];
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);

Commit 8382fcac1b81 ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared
pid_ns, this obviously breaks vfork:
int main(void)
{
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
assert(vfork() >= 0);
_exit(0);
return 0;
}
fails without this patch.
Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead. This also forbids
CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies.
We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it
would be safer to not do this. The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND
implicitely and there is no reason to change this.
Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine. CLONE_THREAD would be even better.
Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is
the case that we are fundamentally guarding against."

This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:
* Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
(for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you
have any issues.
* The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we
are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
it has been doing.
Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.
Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.
With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
mm: new shrinker API
shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
list: add a new LRU list type
inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
shrinker: add node awareness
fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.
Glauber Costa (7):
fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
list_lru: per-node API
vmscan: per-node deferred work
i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
This patch:
There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc. This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.
Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This
patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.

bd8815a6d8 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends
include the origin css in the iteration") updated cgroup descendant
iterators to include the origin css; unfortuantely, it forgot to drop
special case handling in css_next_descendant_post() for empty subtree
leading to failure to visit the origin css without any child.
Fix it by dropping the special case handling and always returning the
leftmost descendant on the first iteration.

Commit 23f0d20 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function. This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.
This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:
v4 filesystem v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev: 220k files/s 225k files/s
3.12-git 180k files/s 185k files/s
3.12-git-revert 245k files/s 247k files/s
You can find more detailed information at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/10/1
This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.
With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:
v4 filesystem v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev: 220k files/s 225k files/s
3.12-git 180k files/s 185k files/s

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Not much changes for the 3.12 merge window. The major tracing changes
are still in flux, and will have to wait for 3.13.
The changes for 3.12 are mostly clean ups and minor fixes.
H Peter Anvin added a check to x86_32 static function tracing that
helps a small segment of the kernel community.
Oleg Nesterov had a few changes from 3.11, but were mostly clean ups
and not worth pushing in the -rc time frame.
Li Zefan had small clean up with annotating a raw_init with __init.
I fixed a slight race in updating function callbacks, but the race is
so small and the bug that happens when it occurs is so minor it's not
even worth pushing to stable.
The only real enhancement is from Alexander Z Lam that made the
tracing_cpumask work for trace buffer instances, instead of them all
sharing a global cpumask"

The function debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() is part of the RCU lockdep
debugging, and is called very frequently. I found that if I enable
a lot of debugging and run the function graph tracer, this
function can cause a live lock of the system.
We don't usually trace lockdep infrastructure, no need to trace
this either.

. for nohz-full, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa
- Documentation updates:
. for perf_event_type, by Peter Zijlstra
Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):
- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.
. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:
[root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf trace -i perf.data -e futex --duration 1
17.799 ( 1.020 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, ua
113.344 (95.429 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 4294967
133.778 ( 1.042 ms): 18004 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 429496
[root@zoo ~]#
By David Ahern.
. Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.
. Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.
- 'perf report/top' enhancements:
. Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
By Adrian Hunter.
. Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
of call graphs, by Greg Price.
. Simplify symbol filtering by doing it at machine class level,
by Adrian Hunter.
. Add support for callchains in the gtk UI, by Namhyung Kim.
. Add --objdump option to 'perf top', by Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
- 'perf kvm' enhancements:
. Add option to print only events that exceed a specified time
duration, by David Ahern.
. Improve stack trace printing, by David Ahern.
. Update documentation of the live command, by David Ahern
. Add perf kvm stat live mode that combines aspects of 'perf kvm
stat' record and report, by David Ahern.
. Add option to analyze specific VM in perf kvm stat report, by
David Ahern.
. Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest, by Jason Wessel.
- 'perf script' enhancements:
. Fix symbol offset computation for some dsos, by David Ahern.
. Fix named threads support, by David Ahern.
. Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
- 'perf test' enhancements:
. Add various improvements and fixes to the "vmlinux matches
kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.
. Add sample parsing test, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add test for reading object code, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add attr record group sampling test, by Jiri Olsa.
. Misc testing infrastructure improvements and other details,
by Jiri Olsa.
- 'perf list' enhancements:
. Skip unsupported hardware events, by Namhyung Kim.
. List pmu events, by Andi Kleen.
- 'perf diff' enhancements:
. Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.
- 'perf sched' enhancements:
. Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.
. Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.
- 'perf stat' enhancements:
. Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
startup phase, by Andi Kleen.
- Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:
. Tidy up sample parsing validation, by Adrian Hunter.
. Fix up jobserver setup in libtraceevent Makefile.
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Debug improvements, by Adrian Hunter.
. Fix correlation of samples coming after PERF_RECORD_EXIT event,
by David Ahern.
. Improve robustness of the topology parsing code,
by Stephane Eranian.
. Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group
to sample while the other events have just its values read,
by Jiri Olsa.
. Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
By Michael Ellerman.
. Support callchain sorting based on addresses, by Andi Kleen
. Prep work for multi perf data file storage, by Jiri Olsa.
. libtraceevent cleanups, by Namhyung Kim.
And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
details!"

scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.
User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME
values on ps/top, for example:
$ ps aux | grep rcu
root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcuc/0]
root 9 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcub/0]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
root 11 0.1 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:02 [rcuop/0]
root 12 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 21114581:35 [rcuop/1]
root 10 62422329 0.0 0 0 ? R 12:42 21114581:37 [rcu_preempt]
or overflowed utime values read directly from /proc/$PID/stat
