2012-09-01time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strictJohn Stultz
Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526ca7 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

2012-08-21uprobes: Fix mmap_region()'s mm->mm_rb corruption if uprobe_mmap() failsOleg Nesterov
This patch fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640 If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how William noticed this bug. Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register(). For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register() succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail in this case. dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason, fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first. And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error code from uprobe_mmap().

2012-08-15time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputsJohn Stultz
Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the year 2262). Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are injected via adjtimex. So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t. Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

2012-08-15audit: clean up refcounting in audit-treeMiklos Szeredi
Drop the initial reference by fsnotify_init_mark early instead of audit_tree_freeing_mark() at destroy time. In the cases we destroy the mark before we drop the initial reference we need to get rid of the get_mark that balances the put_mark in audit_tree_freeing_mark(). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2012-08-15audit: fix refcounting in audit-treeMiklos Szeredi
Refcounting of fsnotify_mark in audit tree is broken. E.g: refcount create_chunk alloc_chunk 1 fsnotify_add_mark 2 untag_chunk fsnotify_get_mark 3 fsnotify_destroy_mark audit_tree_freeing_mark 2 fsnotify_put_mark 1 fsnotify_put_mark 0 via destroy_list fsnotify_mark_destroy -1 This was reported by various people as triggering Oops when stopping auditd. We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would break freeing via inode destruction. So this patch simply omits a put_mark after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before. The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference (or the inode is keeping the mark pinned, not the case here AFAICS).

2012-08-13sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchiesPeter Zijlstra
Peter Portante reported that for large cgroup hierarchies (and or on large CPU counts) we get immense lock contention on rq->lock and stuff stops working properly. His workload was a ton of processes, each in their own cgroup, everybody idling except for a sporadic wakeup once every so often. It was found that: schedule() idle_balance() load_balance() local_irq_save() double_rq_lock() update_h_load() walk_tg_tree(tg_load_down) tg_load_down() Results in an entire cgroup hierarchy walk under rq->lock for every new-idle balance and since new-idle balance isn't throttled this results in a lot of work while holding the rq->lock. This patch does two things, it removes the work from under rq->lock based on the good principle of race and pray which is widely employed in the load-balancer as a whole. And secondly it throttles the update_h_load() calculation to max once per jiffy. I considered excluding update_h_load() for new-idle balance all-together, but purely relying on regular balance passes to update this data might not work out under some rare circumstances where the new-idle busiest isn't the regular busiest for a while (unlikely, but a nightmare to debug if someone hits it and suffers).

2012-08-12printk: Fix calculation of length used to discard recordsJeff Mahoney
While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing the buffer. Sure enough, it was. I saw this in strace: 11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "<5>[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279 It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as zero.

2012-08-01mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq contextMel Gorman
This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of PF_MEMALLOC. Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in interrupts (hard or soft) context. Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag. The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to the following reasons Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags should not leak to an unrelated softirq. Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS flag. If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted, the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

2012-08-01mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdatJiang Liu
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

Ingo noted that the numerous timekeeper.value references made the timekeeping code ugly and caused many long lines that had to be broken up. He recommended replacing timekeeper.value references with tk->value. This patch provides a local tk value for all top level time functions and sets it to &timekeeper. Then all timekeeper access is done via a tk pointer.

2012-07-31time: Clean up offs_real/wall_to_mono and offs_boot/total_sleep_time updatesJohn Stultz
For performance reasons, we maintain ktime_t based duplicates of wall_to_monotonic (offs_real) and total_sleep_time (offs_boot). Since large problems could occur (such as the resume regression on 3.5-rc7, or the leapsecond hrtimer issue) if these value pairs were to be inconsistently updated, this patch this cleans up how we modify these value pairs to ensure we are always consistent. As a side-effect this is also more efficient as we only caulculate the duplicate values when they are changed, rather then every update_wall_time call. This also provides WARN_ONs to detect if future changes break the invariants.

2012-07-31perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for eventsAndrew Vagin
A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.
