This reverts commit bf26c01849 ("Prepare to fix racy accesses on task
breakpoints").
The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit
9899d11f65 ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race
with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and
->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.
Now that ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints have no callers,
we can kill them and remove task->ptrace_bp_refcnt.

...with the audit related changes that went into 3.7, they now look like this:

type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=0 name="test_mq"
Both of these look wrong to me. As Steve Grubb pointed out:
"What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ. The other PATH
records probably should not be there."
Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it
should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of
the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting. With this change, we get
a single PATH record that looks more like this:
type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914
dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0
In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is
added. If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers
of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is
inactive.

- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug

smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context.
But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq
context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt
handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the
resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support
Xens resume mechanism.
linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_*
is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen
change.
Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability)
we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented
that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already
switched to highres/nohz mode.
The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the
TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process
looks like this:
tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC);
clocksource_register(HPET);
clocksource_done_booting();
clocksource_select()
Selects HPET which is valid for high-res
switch_to_highres();
clocksource_register(TSC);
TSC is not selected, because it is not yet
flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES
clocksource_watchdog()
Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC
the current clocksource.
Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which
worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable,
then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again.
The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick
a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid
high res clocksource.
To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog
thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set.
To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to
install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through
clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out
the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the
select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread().
So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code
without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex
unlock/relock dance.

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process
timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account)
increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting.
However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns
over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop
signal->cputimer accounting.
This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks
CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets
"p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if
!thread_group_leader(p).
This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block
which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid.

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.
We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.
And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.
attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.
A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.
This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.
This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.
Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.
This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.
This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.
I think gdb can use this commands too.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.
To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.
We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.
Highlights:
- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.
It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.
However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.
So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.
As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.
- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.
These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.
Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).
- cpufreq updates
First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.
Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.
Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.
- ACPICA update
A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.
During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.
Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.
- cpuidle updates
New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.
Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.
- ACPI power management updates
Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.
- ACPI documentation updates
Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.
- Assorted ACPI updates
We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.
A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.
A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.
The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.
Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.
The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.
Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.
- Assorted power management updates
The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).
The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).
New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
(<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).
PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.
- devfreq updates
New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.
Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta
before expiring of its timers.
This is done from the following places:
* When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of
posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to
the timer struct instead of the absolute value.
(See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() )
* When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule().
If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these
places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time
is performed. Then the given task's reference is released.
(See clear_dead_task() ).
The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another
and deeper debate.
The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix
up very well together.
More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting
in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by
the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario:
1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit()
and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative
delta.
2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on
clear_dead_task() because tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.
The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return
a wrong result.
To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time. It
doesn't bring much value on its own. The caching done from
posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough.
And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and
clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are
dealing with a relative cached of absolute value. But it would be racy.
The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we
know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its
target task reference. Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to
avoid circular lock against the sighand lock. There is just no reason to
maintain this.
The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the
following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer
which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2
seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value.
Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value
minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds:
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <pthread.h>
static timer_t id;
static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new;
static void *thread(void *unused)
{
int err;
struct timeval start, end, diff;
timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
if (err < 0) {
perror("Can't create timer\n");
return NULL;
}
/* Arm 10 sec timer */
err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
if (err < 0) {
perror("Can't set timer\n");
return NULL;
}
/* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
do {
gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
timersub(&end, &start, &diff);
} while (diff.tv_sec < 2);
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t pthread;
int err;
err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL);
if (err) {
perror("Can't create thread\n");
return -1;
}
pthread_join(pthread, NULL);
/* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */
sleep(1);
err = timer_gettime(id, &new);
if (err)
perror("Can't get timer value\n");
printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec);
return 0;
}
Before the patch:
$ ./posix_cpu_timers
6 2278074
After the patch:
$ ./posix_cpu_timers
8 1158766
Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

In order to re-arm a timer after it fired, we take a sample of the current
process or thread cputime.
If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the
remaining timer expiration delta for further reads.
Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget
to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it.
As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further
reads of that timer to return junk values.
Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide
timers.
This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the
thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify(). This
implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers
to handle for that task.
So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic
and the warning that came along:
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule':
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function
Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

The posix cpu timer expiry time is stored in a union of two types: a 64
bits field if we rely on scheduler precise accounting, or a cputime_t if
we rely on jiffies.
This results in quite some duplicate code and special cases to handle the
two types.
Just unify this into a single 64 bits field. cputime_t can always fit
into it.

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
"cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
descendants irreversibly and so on. These behaviors are inherently
nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.
Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
__DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
request. It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior. In the process, the
rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"This pull request contains the following changes.
- cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to
percpu-ref. css is what each resource controller embeds into its
own control structure and perform reference count against. It may
be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module
refcnt in that aspect. For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting
was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work
and this should alleviate it.
- cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can
be released after grabbing reference. This allows simplifying its
users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list
under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside. This pull
request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup.
A separate pull request will update cpuset.

usage bugs.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:

The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t()
The recent implementation of a generic dummy timer resulted in a
different registration order of per cpu local timers which made the
broadcast control logic go belly up.
If the dummy timer is the first clock event device which is registered
for a CPU, then it is installed, the broadcast timer is initialized
and the CPU is marked as broadcast target.
If a real clock event device is installed after that, we can fail to
take the CPU out of the broadcast mask. In the worst case we end up
with two periodic timer events firing for the same CPU. One from the
per cpu hardware device and one from the broadcast.
Now the problem is that we have no way to distinguish whether the
system is in a state which makes broadcasting necessary or the
broadcast bit was set due to the nonfunctional dummy timer
installment.
To solve this we need to keep track of the system state seperately and
provide a more detailed decision logic whether we keep the CPU in
broadcast mode or not.
The old decision logic only clears the broadcast mode, if the newly
installed clock event device is not affected by power states.
The new logic clears the broadcast mode if one of the following is
true:
- The new device is not affected by power states.
- The system is not in a power state affected mode
- The system has switched to oneshot mode. The oneshot broadcast is
controlled from the deep idle state. The CPU is not in idle at
this point, so it's safe to remove it from the mask.
If we clear the broadcast bit for the CPU when a new device is
installed, we also shutdown the broadcast device when this was the
last CPU in the broadcast mask.
If the broadcast bit is kept, then we leave the new device in shutdown
state and rely on the broadcast to deliver the timer interrupts via
the broadcast ipis.
