2011-08-23CRED: fix build error due to 'tgcred' undeclaredAxel Lin1-0/+2

2011-08-23CRED: Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new thread_group_cred structDavid Howells1-2/+14
Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new, separate thread_group_cred struct otherwise when using request_key() ____call_usermodehelper() calls umh_keys_init() with the new creds pointing to init_tgcred, which umh_keys_init() then blithely alters. The problem can be demonstrated by: # keyctl request2 user a debug:a @s 249681132 # grep req /proc/keys 079906a5 I--Q-- 1 perm 1f3f0000 0 0 keyring _req.249681132: 1/4 38ef1626 IR---- 1 expd 0b010000 0 0 .request_ key:ee1d4ec pid:4371 ci:1 The keyring _req.XXXX should have gone away, but something (init_tgcred) is pinning it. That key actually requested can then be removed and a new one created: # keyctl unlink 249681132 1 links removed [root@andromeda ~]# grep req /proc/keys 116cecac IR---- 1 expd 0b010000 0 0 .request_ key:eeb4911 pid:4379 ci:1 36d1cbf8 I--Q-- 1 perm 1f3f0000 0 0 keyring _req.250300689: 1/4 which causes the old _req keyring to go away and a new one to take its place.

2011-08-04Boot up with usermodehelper disabledLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode helper binary for all these events very early in the boot. Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

2011-08-04taskstats: add_del_listener() shouldn't use the wrong nodeOleg Nesterov1-9/+7
1. Commit 26c4caea9d69 "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode" changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can reuse the listener allocated for the previous cpu, this doesn't look exactly right even if minor. Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case, this case is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node() shouldn't hurt but looke more correct and clean. 2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to scan listeners->list. 3.

The first packet that gdb sends when the kernel is in kdb mode seems to change with every release of gdb. Instead of continuing to add many different gdb packets, change kdb to automatically look for any thing that looks like a gdb packet. Example 1 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $D#44+ Example 2 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $3#33 The second one should re-enter kdb's shell right away and is purely a test.

When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip. When gdb initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections. Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur on the initial connect.

2011-07-28dt/irq: add irq_domain_generate_simple() helperGrant Likely1-0/+58
irq_domain_generate_simple() is an easy way to generate an irq translation domain for simple irq controllers. It assumes a flat 1:1 mapping from hardware irq number to an offset of the first linux irq number assigned to the controller Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2011-07-28irq: add irq_domain translation infrastructureGrant Likely3-0/+127
This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from hardware irq numbers to linux irqs. This is particularly important for architectures adding device tree support because the current implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt controllers. This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it, irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new ARM device tree board support. PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It is still missing some features before it can replace the virq infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain. SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree and is unaffected by this change.

2011-07-27panic: panic=-1 for immediate rebootHugh Dickins1-0/+2
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM across reboot. But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and lose the info. panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at present we have to delay at least 1 second. Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.." message).

2011-07-27ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctlVasiliy Kulikov1-0/+1
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

2011-07-27cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()Michal Hocko2-0/+12
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

2011-07-26mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & youngBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-2/+2
I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules. This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for built-in ones. To allow access to the built-in modules we need to re-trigger all module load events that happened before any userspace was running.
