Michal Hocko 5695be142e OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend
PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.

Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.

Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.

Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
  check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
  readable as per Rafael

Cong Wang 51fae6da64 freezer: Do not freeze tasks killed by OOM killer
Since f660daac47 (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen
before deferring) OOM killer relies on being able to thaw a frozen task
to handle OOM situation but a3201227f8 (freezer: make freezing() test
freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE) has reorganized the
code and stopped clearing freeze flag in __thaw_task. This means that
the target task only wakes up and goes into the fridge again because the
freezing condition hasn't changed for it. This reintroduces the bug
fixed by f660daac47.

Fix the issue by checking for TIF_MEMDIE thread flag in
freezing_slow_path and exclude the task from freezing completely. If a
task was already frozen it would get woken by __thaw_task from OOM killer
and get out of freezer after rechecking freezing().

Changes since v1
- put TIF_MEMDIE check into freezing_slowpath rather than in __refrigerator
  as per Oleg
- return __thaw_task into oom_scan_process_thread because
  oom_kill_process will not wake task in the fridge because it is
  sleeping uninterruptible

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

Catalin Marinas 76835b0ebf futex: Ensure get_futex_key_refs() always implies a barrier
Commit b0c29f79ec (futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's
nothing to wake up) changes the futex code to avoid taking a lock when
there are no waiters. This code has been subsequently fixed in commit
11d4616bd0 (futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code).
Both the original commit and the fix-up rely on get_futex_key_refs() to
always imply a barrier.

However, for private futexes, none of the cases in the switch statement
of get_futex_key_refs() would be hit and the function completes without
a memory barrier as required before checking the "waiters" in
futex_wake() -> hb_waiters_pending(). The consequence is a race with a
thread waiting on a futex on another CPU, allowing the waker thread to
read "waiters == 0" while the waiter thread to have read "futex_val ==
locked" (in kernel).

Without this fix, the problem (user space deadlocks) can be seen with
Android bionic's mutex implementation on an arm64 multi-cluster system.

Linus Torvalds 0429fbc0bd Merge branch 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

Prarit Bhargava d3051b489a modules, lock around setting of MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED
A panic was seen in the following sitation.

There are two threads running on the system. The first thread is a system
monitoring thread that is reading /proc/modules. The second thread is
loading and unloading a module (in this example I'm using my simple
dummy-module.ko).  Note, in the "real world" this occurred with the qlogic
driver module.

When doing this, the following panic occurred:

  RSP <ffff88080fa7fe18>

    Consider the two processes running on the system.

    CPU 0 (/proc/modules reader)
    CPU 1 (loading/unloading module)

    CPU 0 opens /proc/modules, and starts displaying data for each module by
    traversing the modules list via fs/seq_file.c:seq_open() and
    fs/seq_file.c:seq_read().  For each module in the modules list, seq_read
    does

            op->start()  <-- this is a pointer to m_start()
            op->show()   <- this is a pointer to m_show()
            op->stop()   <-- this is a pointer to m_stop()

    The m_start(), m_show(), and m_stop() module functions are defined in
    kernel/module.c. The m_start() and m_stop() functions acquire and release
    the module_mutex respectively.

    ie) When reading /proc/modules, the module_mutex is acquired and released
    for each module.

    m_show() is called with the module_mutex held.  It accesses the module
    struct data and attempts to write out module data.  It is in this code
    path that the above BUG_ON() warning is encountered, specifically m_show()
    calls

    static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf)
    {
            int bx = 0;

            BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED);
    ...

    The other thread, CPU 1, in unloading the module calls the syscall
    delete_module() defined in kernel/module.c.  The module_mutex is acquired
    for a short time, and then released.  free_module() is called without the
    module_mutex.  free_module() then sets mod->state = MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED,
    also without the module_mutex.  Some additional code is called and then the
    module_mutex is reacquired to remove the module from the modules list:

        /* Now we can delete it from the lists */
        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
        stop_machine(__unlink_module, mod, NULL);
        mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);

This is the sequence of events that leads to the panic.

CPU 1 is removing dummy_module via delete_module().  It acquires the
module_mutex, and then releases it.  CPU 1 has NOT set dummy_module->state to
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED yet.

CPU 0, which is reading the /proc/modules, acquires the module_mutex and
acquires a pointer to the dummy_module which is still in the modules list.
CPU 0 calls m_show for dummy_module.  The check in m_show() for
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED passed for dummy_module even though it is being
torn down.

Meanwhile CPU 1, which has been continuing to remove dummy_module without
holding the module_mutex, now calls free_module() and sets
dummy_module->state to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.

CPU 0 now calls module_flags() with dummy_module and ...

static char *module_flags(struct module *mod, char *buf)
{
        int bx = 0;

        BUG_ON(mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED);

and BOOM.

Acquire and release the module_mutex lock around the setting of
MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED in the teardown path, which should resolve the
problem.

Testing: In the unpatched kernel I can panic the system within 1 minute by
doing

while (true) do insmod dummy_module.ko; rmmod dummy_module.ko; done

and

while (true) do cat /proc/modules; done

in separate terminals.

In the patched kernel I was able to run just over one hour without seeing
any issues.  I also verified the output of panic via sysrq-c and the output
of /proc/modules looks correct for all three states for the dummy_module.

        dummy_module 12661 0 - Unloading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE-)
        dummy_module 12661 0 - Live 0xffffffffa03bb000 (OE)
        dummy_module 14015 1 - Loading 0xffffffffa03a5000 (OE+)

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
  regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
  mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.

  The interesting bits are:
   - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
     the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
     back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
   - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
     IPTE range facility is added.
   - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
     able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
   - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
   - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
     will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
   - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
   - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
     domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
   - Bug fixes"

Ulrich Obergfell 6e7458a6f0 kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default
In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest.  Introduce

  watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)

allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection.  This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g.  smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted.  In summary,

  initial boot:					default=enabled
  smp_prepare_boot_cpu
    watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false):	default=disabled
  cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1':			default=enabled

The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual.  However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'.  To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series.  Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

Rasmus Villemoes f9f2bac27c kdb: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

Mike Travis 67cf13ceed x86: optimize resource lookups for ioremap
We have a large university system in the UK that is experiencing very long
delays modprobing the driver for a specific I/O device.  The delay is from
8-10 minutes per device and there are 31 devices in the system.  This 4 to
5 hour delay in starting up those I/O devices is very much a burden on the
customer.

There are two causes for requiring a restart/reload of the drivers.  First
is periodic preventive maintenance (PM) and the second is if any of the
devices experience a fatal error.  Both of these trigger this excessively
long delay in bringing the system back up to full capability.

The problem was tracked down to a very slow IOREMAP operation and the
excessively long ioresource lookup to insure that the user is not
attempting to ioremap RAM.  These patches provide a speed up to that
function.

The modprobe time appears to be affected quite a bit by previous activity
on the ioresource list, which I suspect is due to cache preloading.  While
the overall improvement is impacted by other overhead of starting the
devices, this drastically improves the modprobe time.

Also our system is considerably smaller so the percentages gained will not
be the same.  Best case improvement with the modprobe on our 20 device
smallish system was from 'real 5m51.913s' to 'real 0m18.275s'.

This patch (of 2):

Since the ioremap operation is verifying that the specified address range
is NOT RAM, it will search the entire ioresource list if the condition is
true.  To make matters worse, it does this one 4k page at a time.  For a
128M BAR region this is 32 passes to determine the entire region does not
contain any RAM addresses.

This patch provides another resource lookup function, region_is_ram, that
searches for the entire region specified, verifying that it is completely
contained within the resource region.  If it is found, then it is checked
to be RAM or not, within a single pass.

The return result reflects if it was found or not (-1), and whether it is
RAM (1) or not (0).  This allows the caller to fallback to the previous
page by page search if it was not found.

Baoquan He 669280a152 kexec: take the segment adding out of locate_mem_hole functions
In locate_mem_hole functions, a memory hole is located and added as
kexec_segment.  But from the name of locate_mem_hole, it should only take
responsibility of searching a available memory hole to contain data of a
specified size.

So in this patch add a new field 'mem' into kexec_buf, then take that
kexec segment adding code out of locate_mem_hole_top_down and
locate_mem_hole_bottom_up.  This make clear of the functionality of
locate_mem_hole just like it declars to do.  And by this
locate_mem_hole_callback chould be used later if anyone want to locate a
memory hole for other use.

Meanwhile Vivek suggested opening code function __kexec_add_segment(),
that way we have to retreive ksegment pointer once and it is easy to read.
 So just do it in this patch and remove __kexec_add_segment() since no one
use it anymore.

Markus Trippelsdorf 98e35f5894 printk: git rid of [sched_delayed] message for printk_deferred
Commit 458df9fd48 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use
printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and
inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message.  However
it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now
ends up in the middle of the output:

 [sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec

Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf().  The
prefix is useless since 458df9fd48 anyway since from that moment
printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer
immediately.  So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is
printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for
any special prefix.  And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it
to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation
any better.

 "The big thing in this pile is Eric's unmount-on-rmdir series; we
  finally have everything we need for that.  The final piece of prereqs
  is delayed mntput() - now filesystem shutdown always happens on
  shallow stack.

  Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt
  Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to
  ->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c
  cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which
  gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long
  and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the
  place.

  This is just the first pile; there's a lot of stuff from various
  people that ought to go in this window.  Starting with
  unionmount/overlayfs mess...  ;-/"

 These are triggered by some self tests that run at start up when
 configure in. Although the code is technically correct, they are a little
 sloppy and not very robust. They work now because it runs at boot up
 and the tests do not call anything that might trigger a spurious

2014-10-12 07:28:55 -04:00
Linus Torvalds 9837acff77 This set has a few minor updates, but the big change is the redesign
of the trampoline logic.
 
 The trampoline logic of 3.17 required a descriptor for every function
 that is registered to be traced and uses a trampoline. Currently,
 only the function graph tracer uses a trampoline, but if you were
 to trace all 32,000 (give or take a few thousand) functions with the
 function graph tracer, it would create 32,000 descriptors to let us
 know that there's a trampoline associated with it. This takes up a bit
 of memory when there's a better way to do it.
 
 The redesign now reuses the ftrace_ops' (what registers the function graph
 tracer) hash tables. The hash tables tell ftrace what the tracer
 wants to trace or doesn't want to trace. There's two of them: one
 that tells us what to trace, the other tells us what not to trace.
 If the first one is empty, it means all functions should be traced,
 otherwise only the ones that are listed should be. The second hash table
 tells us what not to trace, and if it is empty, all functions may be
 traced, and if there's any listed, then those should not be traced
 even if they exist in the first hash table.
 
 It took a bit of massaging, but now these hashes can be used to
 keep track of what has a trampoline and what does not, and allows
 the ftrace accounting to work. Now we can trace all functions when using
 the function graph trampoline, and avoid needing to create any special
 descriptors to hold all the functions that are being traced.

Linus Torvalds c798360cd1 Merge branch 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

1. vma_policy_mof(task) is simply not safe unless task == current,
   it can race with do_exit()->mpol_put(). Remove this arg and update
   its single caller.

2. vma can not be NULL, remove this check and simplify the code.

Johannes Weiner 1f13ae399c mm: remove noisy remainder of the scan_unevictable interface
The deprecation warnings for the scan_unevictable interface triggers by
scripts doing `sysctl -a | grep something else'.  This is annoying and not
helpful.

The interface has been defunct since 264e56d824 ("mm: disable user
interface to manually rescue unevictable pages"), which was in 2011, and
there haven't been any reports of usecases for it, only reports that the
deprecation warnings are annying.  It's unlikely that anybody is using
this interface specifically at this point, so remove it.

Cyrill Gorcunov f606b77f1a prctl: PR_SET_MM -- introduce PR_SET_MM_MAP operation
During development of c/r we've noticed that in case if we need to support
user namespaces we face a problem with capabilities in prctl(PR_SET_MM,
...) call, in particular once new user namespace is created
capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) no longer passes.

A approach is to eliminate CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check but pass all new values
in one bundle, which would allow the kernel to make more intensive test
for sanity of values and same time allow us to support checkpoint/restore
of user namespaces.

Thus a new command PR_SET_MM_MAP introduced. It takes a pointer of
prctl_mm_map structure which carries all the members to be updated.

	prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *, size)

	struct prctl_mm_map {
		__u64	start_code;
		__u64	end_code;
		__u64	start_data;
		__u64	end_data;
		__u64	start_brk;
		__u64	brk;
		__u64	start_stack;
		__u64	arg_start;
		__u64	arg_end;
		__u64	env_start;
		__u64	env_end;
		__u64	*auxv;
		__u32	auxv_size;
		__u32	exe_fd;
	};

All members except @exe_fd correspond ones of struct mm_struct.  To figure
out which available values these members may take here are meanings of the
members.

 - start_code, end_code: represent bounds of executable code area
 - start_data, end_data: represent bounds of data area
 - start_brk, brk: used to calculate bounds for brk() syscall
 - start_stack: used when accounting space needed for command
   line arguments, environment and shmat() syscall
 - arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end: represent memory area
   supplied for command line arguments and environment variables
 - auxv, auxv_size: carries auxiliary vector, Elf format specifics
 - exe_fd: file descriptor number for executable link (/proc/self/exe)

Thus we apply the following requirements to the values

1) Any member except @auxv, @auxv_size, @exe_fd is rather an address
   in user space thus it must be laying inside [mmap_min_addr, mmap_max_addr)
   interval.

2) While @[start|end]_code and @[start|end]_data may point to an nonexisting
   VMAs (say a program maps own new .text and .data segments during execution)
   the rest of members should belong to VMA which must exist.

3) Addresses must be ordered, ie @start_ member must not be greater or
   equal to appropriate @end_ member.

4) As in regular Elf loading procedure we require that @start_brk and
   @brk be greater than @end_data.

5) If RLIMIT_DATA rlimit is set to non-infinity new values should not
   exceed existing limit. Same applies to RLIMIT_STACK.

6) Auxiliary vector size must not exceed existing one (which is
   predefined as AT_VECTOR_SIZE and depends on architecture).

7) File descriptor passed in @exe_file should be pointing
   to executable file (because we use existing prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked
   helper it ensures that the file we are going to use as exe link has all
   required permission granted).

Now about where these members are involved inside kernel code:

 - @start_code and @end_code are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output;

 - @start_data and @end_data are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output,
   also they are considered if there enough space for brk() syscall
   result if RLIMIT_DATA is set;

 - @start_brk shown in /proc/$pid/stat output and accounted in brk()
   syscall if RLIMIT_DATA is set; also this member is tested to
   find a symbolic name of mmap event for perf system (we choose
   if event is generated for "heap" area); one more aplication is
   selinux -- we test if a process has PROCESS__EXECHEAP permission
   if trying to make heap area being executable with mprotect() syscall;

 - @brk is a current value for brk() syscall which lays inside heap
   area, it's shown in /proc/$pid/stat. When syscall brk() succesfully
   provides new memory area to a user space upon brk() completion the
   mm::brk is updated to carry new value;

   Both @start_brk and @brk are actively used in /proc/$pid/maps
   and /proc/$pid/smaps output to find a symbolic name "heap" for
   VMA being scanned;

 - @start_stack is printed out in /proc/$pid/stat and used to
   find a symbolic name "stack" for task and threads in
   /proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output, and as the same
   as with @start_brk -- perf system uses it for event naming.
   Also kernel treat this member as a start address of where
   to map vDSO pages and to check if there is enough space
   for shmat() syscall;

 - @arg_start, @arg_end, @env_start and @env_end are printed out
   in /proc/$pid/stat. Another access to the data these members
   represent is to read /proc/$pid/environ or /proc/$pid/cmdline.
   Any attempt to read these areas kernel tests with access_process_vm
   helper so a user must have enough rights for this action;

 - @auxv and @auxv_size may be read from /proc/$pid/auxv. Strictly
   speaking kernel doesn't care much about which exactly data is
   sitting there because it is solely for userspace;

 - @exe_fd is referred from /proc/$pid/exe and when generating
   coredump. We uses prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper to update
   this member, so exe-file link modification remains one-shot
   action.

Still note that updating exe-file link now doesn't require sys-resource
capability anymore, after all there is no much profit in preventing setup
own file link (there are a number of ways to execute own code -- ptrace,
ld-preload, so that the only reliable way to find which exactly code is
executed is to inspect running program memory).  Still we require the
caller to be at least user-namespace root user.

I believe the old interface should be deprecated and ripped off in a
couple of kernel releases if no one against.

To test if new interface is implemented in the kernel one can pass
PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE opcode and the kernel returns the size of currently
supported struct prctl_mm_map.

Cyrill Gorcunov 71fe97e185 prctl: PR_SET_MM -- factor out mmap_sem when updating mm::exe_file
Instead of taking mm->mmap_sem inside prctl_set_mm_exe_file() move it out
and rename the helper to prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked().  This will allow
to reuse this function in a next patch.
