2013-03-22poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()Oleg Nesterov
David said: Commit 6c0c0d4d1080 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()") apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces another. The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example. But since that commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option. orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC is sleepable. Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and change orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which simply calls __orderly_poweroff(). While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split() to use GFP_KERNEL. We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this can obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running. So we only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the pending "true" should succeed anyway. If schedule_work() fails after that we know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the new value. This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not run the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail if the work is already pending. We can export __orderly_poweroff() and change the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.

2013-03-22printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-caseFrederic Weisbecker
wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk() nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on log_wait waitqueue. It should be a stub in this case for users like bust_spinlocks(). Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n: kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd': (.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue' To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK. But for now, focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.

When cpu/task clock events are initialized, their sampling frequencies are converted to have a fixed value. However it missed to update the hwc->last_period which was set to 1 for initial sampling frequency calibration. Because this hwc->last_period value is used as a period in perf_swevent_ hrtime(), every recorded sample will have an incorrected period of 1. $ perf record -e task-clock noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.158 MB perf.data (~6919 samples) ] $ perf report -n --show-total-period --stdio # Samples: 4K of event 'task-clock' # Event count (approx.): 4000 # # Overhead Samples Period Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............ ............ ....... ............. .................. # 99.95% 3998 3998 noploop noploop [.] main 0.03% 1 1 noploop libc-2.15.so [.] init_cacheinfo 0.03% 1 1 noploop ld-2.15.so [.] open_verify Note that it doesn't affect the non-sampling event so that the perf stat still gets correct value with or without this patch. $ perf stat -e task-clock noploop 1 Performance counter stats for 'noploop 1': 1000.272525 task-clock # 1.000 CPUs utilized 1.000560605 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1363574507-18808-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-03-15tracing: Prevent buffer overwrite disabled for latency tracersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode, otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite mode when latency tracers are enabled. Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able to prevent the change from happing.

2013-03-15tracing: Keep overwrite in sync between regular and snapshot buffersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the option flag states otherwise. Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-03-13signal: always clear sa_restorer on execveKees Cook
When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction(). Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer, this is where it should be fixed. Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written since this would be the only use. Instead, we use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places. Example of the leak before applying this patch: $ cat /proc/$$/maps ... 7fb9f3083000-7fb9f3238000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... $ ./leak ... 7f278bc74000-7f278be29000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... 1 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 2 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 3 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 4 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 ...

2013-03-13userns: Don't allow CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_FSEric W. Biederman
Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a different user namespace. There doesn't seem to be any point, and to allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that reference count on practically every call to fork. So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct acrosss processes in different user namespaces. We already disallow other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this should be no real burden in practice. This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user namespaces sharing an fs_struct. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2013-03-13tracing: Fix free of probe entry by calling call_rcu_sched()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched() for updates and not a synchronize_rcu(). Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched(). Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Paul McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-03-12tracing: Fix race in snapshot swappingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

2013-03-08workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in wq_unbind_fn()Lai Jiangshan
Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing. The problem is two-fold. * wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was only single pool. With multiple pools, only the pool which is running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have such kick-off. The other pool could stall when its busy workers block. * The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of the two pools in succession without initiating work execution inbetween. Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work items to release memory. This is almost purely theoretical tho. Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one. tj: Updated comments and description.

2013-03-07tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocatedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer now writes to what was the snapshot buffer. To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

2013-03-07tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is emptySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot feature. Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast "swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might fail under tight memory constraints.

2013-03-02trace/ring_buffer: handle 64bit aligned structsJames Hogan
Some 32 bit architectures require 64 bit values to be aligned (for example Meta which has 64 bit read/write instructions). These require 8 byte alignment of event data too, so use !CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS instead of !CONFIG_64BIT || CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to decide alignment, and align buffer_data_page::data accordingly.

2013-03-02kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmdJason Wessel
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init() is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you actually activate the kernel debugger.

2013-03-02kdb: Remove the ll commandJason Wessel
Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the kernel. Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used. Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.

Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have overlapping memory. The fix is simple for the kdb code because we still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we just have to use that as the argument instead.

2013-03-02kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansionJohn Blackwood
When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table. When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in the kdb_register_repeat() routine. The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Commit 74eed0163d0def3fce27228d9ccf3d36e207b286 "irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled" restore interrupts flags in the end of irq_exit() for archs that don't define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED. However always returning from irq_exit() with interrupts disabled should not be a problem for these archs.

2013-02-28hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips, microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions). But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former config-x86. Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.
