My commit 2b2a1ff64a introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
avc_audit()
audit_log_untrustedstring()
audit_log_n_untrustedstring()
audit_string_contains_control()
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb. It would
result in a silent kernel hang if used.
This patach addresses several problems.
- Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS
- Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space
- Correctly implement shadow pids
- Change the threads per query to a #define
- Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values
The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task. That
means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1
will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc...
From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of
the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run
control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the
kgdb_handle_exception().

A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.
This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.
Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

It should be ordered like this :

read multi array pointer
smp_read_barrier_depends()
access data referenced by multi array pointer
The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.
Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
can be shared.
In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.
So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).
And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
"cpumask(n)" ends up being:
static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
{
const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
return (const cpumask_t *)p;
}
This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:
- we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
various different places
- we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
format, because they're already going to be dense enough.
if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
probably get better cache behaviour anyway).

that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
will reject the wrong ones.
* have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are
attached to our directory.
* implement ->getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions
induced by that.

In a sense, that's the heart of the series. It's based on the following
property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into
stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely
new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also
introduced by it.
That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union;
while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover
the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys
in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to
keep track of that.
When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say,
find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the
tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our
parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list
anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment
point. Also remember where its crown lives.

Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration
just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero. Make sure that
we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering().
That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its
freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who
holds such a reference can
* try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will
succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it
succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use"
reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having
->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister
the sucker.
* keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if
the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds,
we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until
ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely.
IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table
entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and
grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access
to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not
be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header.

New object: set of sysctls [currently - root and per-net-ns].
Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?"
method (->is_seen(set)).
Current lists of tables are subsumed by that; net-ns contains such a beast.
->lookup() for ctl_table_root returns pointer to ctl_table_set instead of
that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.
[folded compile fixes by rdd for configs without sysctl]
