Mathieu Desnoyers fb40bd78b0 Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probes
RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers.  Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.

- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.

Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.

Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.

- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
  armed.

Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.

This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".

If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.

It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :

Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

Nishanth Aravamudan 064d9efe94 hugetlb: fix overcommit locking
proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't
hold hugetlb_lock over the call.  Use a dummy variable to store the sysctl
result, like in hugetlb_sysctl_handler(), then grab the lock to update
nr_overcommit_huge_pages.

Peter Zijlstra 23b0fdfc92 sched: rt-group: deal with PI
Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.

Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.

If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.

This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
  - second prio array for boosted tasks
  - boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)

Oleg Nesterov c289b074b6 hrtimer: don't modify restart_block->fn in restart functions
hrtimer_nanosleep_restart() clears/restores restart_block->fn. This is
pointless and complicates its usage. Note that if sys_restart_syscall()
doesn't actually happen, we have a bogus "pending" restart->fn anyway,
this is harmless.

Oleg Nesterov 416529374b hrtimer: fix *rmtp/restarts handling in compat_sys_nanosleep()

Also, set ->addr_limit = KERNEL_DS before doing hrtimer_nanosleep(), this func
was changed by the previous patch and now takes the "__user *" parameter.

Oleg Nesterov 080344b988 hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.

hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.

Introduced by commit 04c227140f
hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier

Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.

Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.

NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

Ralf Baechle 46f4f8f665 IRQ_NOPROBE helper functions
Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq
method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check
IRQ_WAITING.  This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration.

This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to
set rsp.  clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag.  The only current caller is MIPS code
but this really belongs into generic code.

As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not
dangerous art.  I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to
non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

Yi Yang 06b2a76d25 Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use them
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.

This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:

write error: Invalid argument

Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.

Here are some test results:

H. Peter Anvin bdc807871d avoid overflows in kernel/time.c
When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide.  The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).

This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.

This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms.  When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g.  on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).

The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range.  This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result.  Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.

At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants.  We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles.  This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.

Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile.  Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

Eric W. Biederman 44c4e1b258 pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnr
pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the
struct pid was allocated in.  What we want before we return a pid to user
space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current.

pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want
it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid
was allocated in our pid namespace.

Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the
parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in
get_signal_to_deliver.

So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what
we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and
much less error prone.

Eric W. Biederman 161550d74c pid: sys_wait... fixes
This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type
and struct pid *pid to precisely specify what set of processes are eligible
to be waited for, instead of the raw pid_t value from sys_wait4.

This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in
just process group 1.

This fixes a pid namespace crossing case in eligible_child.  Allowing us to
wait for a processes in our current process group even if our current
process group == 0.

This allows the no child with this pid case to be optimized.  This allows
us to optimize the pid membership test in eligible child to be optimized.

This even closes a theoretical pid wraparound race where in a threaded
parent if two threads are waiting for the same child and one thread picks
up the child and the pid numbers wrap around and generate another child
with that same pid before the other thread is scheduled (teribly insanely
unlikely) we could end up waiting on the second child with the same pid#
and not discover that the specific child we were waiting for has exited.

Oleg Nesterov 5dee1707df move the related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals()
The previous bugfix was not optimal, we shouldn't care about group stop
when we are the only thread or the group stop is in progress.  In that case
nothing special is needed, just set PF_EXITING and return.

Also, take the related "TIF_SIGPENDING re-targeting" code from exit_notify().

So, from the performance POV the only difference is that we don't trust
!signal_pending() until we take ->siglock.  But this in fact fixes another
___pure___ theoretical minor race.  __group_complete_signal() finds the
task without PF_EXITING and chooses it as the target for signal_wake_up().
But nothing prevents this task from exiting in between without noticing the
pending signal and thus unpredictably delaying the actual delivery.

Oleg Nesterov d12619b5ff fix group stop with exit race
do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count
accordingly.  Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop,
the last one should notify the parent.

However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it
may be somewhere in do_exit() already.  In that case the group stop never
finishes properly.

Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later.  Say we
can return quickly if thread_group_empty().  Also, we can move some signal
related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals().

== 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18.

Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates

This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does

Oleg Nesterov f2cc3eb133 do_wait: fix security checks
Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical.

Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return
-EANY.  In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error.  Why? Isn't it
better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children.

Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb.  In that case we find this
child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the
child was denied.  So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't
match the behaviour above.  Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to
return the error later, when the child will be untraced.  Inho, really
strange.

I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid
was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks
which were nacked by security_task_wait().

eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader().  With the previous patch
this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to
the only place it is really needed.

Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group
leaders in a non-empty thread group.  I don't really understand the exact
semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix.

Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor.

Oleg Nesterov 1bad95c3be wait_task_stopped(): remove unneeded delay_group_leader check
wait_task_stopped() doesn't need the "delay_group_leader" parameter.  If
the child is not traced it must be a group leader.  With or without
subthreads ->group_stop_count == 0 when the whole task is stopped.

Oleg Nesterov 20686a309a ptrace_stop: fix racy nonstop_code setting
If the tracer is gone and we are not going to stop, ptrace_stop() sets
->exit_code = nostop_code.  However, the tracer could actually clear the
exit code before detaching.  In that case get_signal_to_deliver() "resends"
the signal which was cancelled by the debugger.  For example, it is
possible that a quick PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH can leave the tracee in
STOPPED state.

Change the behaviour of ptrace_stop().  If the caller is ptrace notify(),
we should always clear ->exit_code.  If the caller is
get_signal_to_deliver(), we should not touch it at all.  To do so, change
the nonstop_code parameter to "bool clear_code" and change the callers
accordingly.

Oleg Nesterov ee7c82da83 wait_task_stopped: simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace
wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL.  tasklist_lock
does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info
reported (including exit_code) may be wrong.

In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe.  The child
may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is
possible we are no longer its ->parent.

Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task.  This
guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its
->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check.  The
only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without
->siglock held during abort.  But this can only happen if both the tracer and
the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care.

With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of
the ->parent list on success.  This optimization could be restored, but
in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty
checks.

Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.

Oleg Nesterov 6405f7f467 ptrace_stop: fix the race with ptrace detach+attach
If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops
tasklist and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING.

This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between.  Change the
->state under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly
succeed.  Also, remove the unnecessary mb().

Pavel Emelyanov ae5e1b22f1 namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.

The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case.  This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h.  But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good.  On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.

Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files.  It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file.  Moving them would make this patch complicated.  On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

Badari Pulavarty a99824f327 [POWERPC] Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for 64-bit powerpc
walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory
range, by checking against /proc/iomem.  On x86/ia64 system memory is
represented in /proc/iomem.  On powerpc, we don't show system memory as
IO resource in /proc/iomem - instead it's maintained in
/proc/device-tree.

This provides a way for an architecture to provide its own
walk_memory_resource() function.  On powerpc, the memory region is
small (16MB), contiguous and non-overlapping.  So extra checking
against the device-tree is not needed.

This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data.

The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

This patch:

VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
be used exclusively for typedefs.

Paul Jackson c8d9c90c7e hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes
Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment.  However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic.  Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo.  However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.

The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry.  The opposite is true.

Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().

A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
	set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.

Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.

Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.

Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.

Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

Cliff Wickman 956db3ca06 hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent
This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus in
a cpuset.

Currently, the disabled (cpu-less) cpuset inherits the cpus of its parent,
which is incorrect because it may then overlap its cpu-exclusive sibling.

Tasks of an empty cpuset should be moved to the cpuset which is the parent of
their current cpuset.  Or if the parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent,
etc.

And the empty cpuset should be released (if it is flagged notify_on_release).

Depends on the cgroup_scan_tasks() function (proposed by David Rientjes) to
iterate through all tasks in the cpu-less cpuset.  We are deliberately
avoiding a walk of the tasklist.

Cliff Wickman 31a7df01fd cgroups: mechanism to process each task in a cgroup
Provide cgroup_scan_tasks(), which iterates through every task in a cgroup,
calling a test function and a process function for each.  And call the process
function without holding the css_set_lock lock.

The idea is David Rientjes', predicting that such a function will make it much
easier in the future to extend things that require access to each task in a
cgroup without holding the lock,

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4fca88c87b memory cgroup enhancements: add- pre_destroy() handler
Add a handler "pre_destroy" to cgroup_subsys.  It is called before
cgroup_rmdir() checks all subsys's refcnt.

I think this is useful for subsys which have some extra refs even if there
are no tasks in cgroup.  By adding pre_destroy(), the kernel keeps the rule
"destroy() against subsystem is called only when refcnt=0." and allows css
ref to be used by other objects than tasks.

David Rientjes fef1bdd68c oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dump
Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a
dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an
OOM-killing.  Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu,
oom_adj score, and name.

This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which
rogue task caused it.

It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several
thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping
data they may not desire.

If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist
shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same
cgroup.

cgroup_rmdir() to cgroup_diput().  This allows control file reads and
writes to access their subsystem state without having to be concerned with
locking against cgroup destruction - the control file dentry will keep the
cgroup and its subsystem state objects alive until the file is closed.

The documentation is updated to reflect the changed semantics of destroy();
additionally the locking comments for destroy() and some other methods were
clarified and decrustified.

David Fries 6ffc787a44 system timer: fix crash in <100Hz system timer
The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer
less than 100Hz.  The problem is x/(HZ/USER_HZ) and related.  Now
x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ.

I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system
timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host.  I found that the kernel
paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places.  Here
is the patch.  The base git was updated today 01-05-2008.  I went for a
20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz.  With
this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

Eric Dumazet 1bf47346d7 kernel/sys.c: get rid of expensive divides in groups_sort()
groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.

This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies.  (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)

In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()
(commit d74beb9f33 ) and at that time I
changed some variables to unsigned int.

I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is
unsigned.

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

Miao Xie 5e2cb1018a time: fix sysfs_show_{available,current}_clocksources() buffer overflow problem
I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.

Version:	2.6.24-rc2,
File:		kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
	struct clocksource *src;
	char *curr = buf;

	spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
		curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
	}
	spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);

	curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");

	return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.

I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)

Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()
buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

Robin Getz a3b81113fb remove support for un-needed _extratext section
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not.  This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero).  Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

Oleg Nesterov d9ae90ac4b use __set_task_state() for TRACED/STOPPED tasks
1. It is much easier to grep for ->state change if __set_task_state() is used
   instead of the direct assignment.

2. ptrace_stop() and handle_group_stop() use set_task_state() which adds the
   unneeded mb() (btw even if we use mb() it is still possible that do_wait()
   sees the new ->state but not ->exit_code, but this is ok).

Michael Neuling 06b8e878a9 taskstats scaled time cleanup
This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code.  This allows us
to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only
add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime.

This adds a cputime_to_scaled function.  As before, the POWERPC version
does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated.  The
generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are
both NOPs.

Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

Mark Gross d82b35186e pm qos infrastructure and interface
The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year.  It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.

This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.

Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.

The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter.  The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h.  This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.

For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value.  The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list.  Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.

>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:

pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):

  Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
  parameter with the target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is
  recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
  is now different.

pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):

  Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
  and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
  aggregated target is changed.  with that name is already registered.

pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):

  Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
  removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
  if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.

>From user mode:

  Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement.  To provide for
  automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
  its parameter requirements in the following way:

  To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
  process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
  network_throughput]

  As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
  requirement on the parameter.  The name of the requirement is
  "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
  call.

  To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
  value to the open device node.  This translates to a
  pm_qos_update_requirement call.

  To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
  node.

Serge E. Hallyn 3b7391de67 capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set
The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
 Currently cap_bset is per-system.  It can be manipulated through sysctl,
but only init can add capabilities.  Root can remove capabilities.  By
default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.

This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
enabled.  It is inherited at fork from parent.  Noone can add elements,
CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.

One example use of this is to start a safer container.  For instance, until
device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.

The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately.  It will only
affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s.  It also does not affect pI,
and exec() does not constrain pI'.  So to really start a shell with no way
of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do

	prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
	cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
	cap_value_t caparray[1];
	caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
	cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
	cap_set_proc(cap);
	cap_free(cap);

The following test program will get and set the bounding
set (but not pI).  For instance

	./bset get
		(lists capabilities in bset)
	./bset drop cap_net_raw
		(starts shell with new bset)
		(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
		file capabilities to try to increase caps)

Andrew Morgan e338d263a7 Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel
The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible
translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit
kernel space capabilities.  If a capability set cannot be compressed into
32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.

FWIW libcap-2.00 supports this change (and earlier capability formats)

Bron Gondwana 195cf453d2 mm/page-writeback: highmem_is_dirtyable option
Add vm.highmem_is_dirtyable toggle

A 32 bit machine with HIGHMEM64 enabled running DCC has an MMAPed file of
approximately 2Gb size which contains a hash format that is written
randomly by the dbclean process.  On 2.6.16 this process took a few
minutes.  With lowmem only accounting of dirty ratios, this takes about 12
hours of 100% disk IO, all random writes.

Include a toggle in /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable which can be set to 1 to
add the highmem back to the total available memory count.

Christoph Lameter 9f8f217253 Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions
- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.

- Eliminate useless functions

- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
  all pages not only those of the local processor.

- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
  disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
  pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
  disable interrupts.

- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
  declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c

- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
  of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
  software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
  then we can make drain_pages() static.

Davide Libenzi 4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Oleg Nesterov ed5d2cac11 exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with kill
As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec.  de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags.  All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.

With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.  signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

Every time we set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT or clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED we also
reset ->group_stop_count.

This means that the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check in handle_group_stop() is not
needed, and do_signal_stop() should check SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED only when
->group_stop_count == 0. With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the
subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead.

Also, a preparation for the next patch.

Oleg Nesterov 198466b41d __group_complete_signal(): fix coredump with group stop race
When __group_complete_signal() sees sig_kernel_coredump() signal, it starts
the group stop, but sets ->group_exit_task = t in a hope that "t" will
actually dequeue this signal and invoke do_coredump().  However, by the
time "t" enters get_signal_to_deliver() it is possible that the signal was
blocked/ignored or we have another pending !SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK signal
which will be dequeued first.  This means the task could be stopped but not
killed.

Remove this code from __group_complete_signal().  Note also this patch
removes the bogus signal_wake_up(t, 1).  This thread can't be
STOPPED/TRACED, note the corresponding check in wants_signal().

Andrew Morton bdff746a39 clone: prepare to recycle CLONE_STOPPED
Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be
using it.

As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a
warning to check that no userspace is actually using it.  Hopefully we will
be able to recycle it.

Roland said:

  CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under
  thread_db (i.e.  only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a
  long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used.  Removing it
  seems fine to me.

Nick Piggin 2f98735c9c vm audit: add VM_DONTEXPAND to mmap for drivers that need it
Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the
offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to
prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource.

I've audited the tree and attempted to fix these problems (usually by
adding VM_DONTEXPAND where it is not obvious).

Mathieu Desnoyers 3f550096de Add HAVE_KPROBES
Linus:

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select

- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.

- Update ARM for kprobes support.

Mathieu Desnoyers c0ffa3a951 Fix ARM to play nicely with generic Instrumentation menu
The conflicting commit for
move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch
is the ARM fix from Linus :

commit 38ad9aebe7

He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM
config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has
is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does
not break the following patches unnecessarily.

It's just been discussed here

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267

However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would
totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit
this for the next release cycle.

Paul Mundt dfacd68e49 kobject: Always build in kernel/ksysfs.o.
kernel/ksysfs.c seems to be a random dumping group for misc globals
that the rest of the tree depend on. This has caused problems with
exports in the past when sysfs is disabled, which can already be
observed in commit-id 51107301b6.

The latest one is the kernel_kobj usage, which presently results in:

fs/built-in.o: In function `debugfs_init':
inode.c:(.init.text+0xc34): undefined reference to `kernel_kobj'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

kernel/ksysfs.c itself at this point only contains globals and some
basic sysfs initialization, the sysfs initialization code is optimized
out when we build with sysfs disabled. Given that, it's easier to just
build in unconditionally, rather than trying to find some other random
place to dump and initialize the globals.

Additionally, the current trend seems to be decoupling of kobjects from
sysfs, in which case it still makes sense to perform the kernel_kobj
initialization that happens here even if sysfs is disabled, as
lib/kobject.o is built-in unconditionally.

Johannes Berg af258f516b Suspend: Invoke suspend notifications after console switch
In order to fix APM emulation it is necessary to enable apm-emulation
notifications for suspends triggered in various ways via the suspend
notifiers.  However, this will cause the systems using APM emulation
to lock up between X being needed to switch away from the VT and X
already waiting for resume in the APM ioctl.

This patch moves the console switch (if enabled) before the suspend
notification (and after the resume notification) to avoid this issue.

Rafael J. Wysocki c697eecebc Suspend: Introduce begin() and end() callbacks
On ACPI systems the target state set by acpi_pm_set_target() is
reset by acpi_pm_finish(), but that need not be called if the
suspend fails.  All platforms that use the .set_target() global
suspend callback are affected by analogous issues.

For this reason, we need an additional global suspend callback that
will reset the target state regardless of whether or not the suspend
is successful.  Also, it is reasonable to rename the .set_target()
callback, since it will be used for a different purpose on ACPI
systems (due to ACPI 1.0x code ordering requirements).

Introduce the global suspend callback .end() to be executed at the
end of the suspend sequence and rename the .set_target() global
suspend callback to .begin().

Make it possible to test the hibernation core code with the help of the
/sys/power/pm_test attribute introduced for suspend testing in the previous

Writing an appropriate string to this file causes the hibernation code to work

freezer

devices
- test the freezing of processes and suspending of devices

platform
- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices and platform global
  control methods(*)

processors
- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global
  control methods(*) and the disabling of nonboot CPUs

core
- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global
  control methods(*), the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending of
  platform/system devices

(*) - the platform global control methods are only available on ACPI systems
      and are only tested if the hibernation mode is set to "platform"

Then, if a hibernation is started by normal means, the hibernation core will
perform its normal operations up to the point indicated by given test level.
Next, it will wait for 5 seconds and carry out the resume operations needed to
transition the system back to the fully functional state.

core
- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global

(*) These are ACPI global control methods on ACPI systems

Then, if a suspend is started by normal means, the suspend core will perform
its normal operations up to the point indicated by given test level.  Next, it

Writing "none" to /sys/power/pm_test turns the testing off.

When open for reading, /sys/power/pm_test contains a space-separated list of all
available tests (including "none" that represents the normal functionality) in
which the current test level is indicated by square brackets.

SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT and SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF, that can be used,
respectively, to switch the hibernation platform support on/off and to make the
kernel transition the system to the hibernation state (eg. ACPI S4) using the
platform (eg. ACPI) driver.

These ioctls are intended to replace the misdesigned SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl,
which from now is regarded as obsolete and will be removed in the future.

Rafael J. Wysocki af508b34d2 Hibernation: Introduce SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE ioctl
Add a new ioctl, SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE, returning the size of the (just
created) hibernation image, to the hibernation userland interface.

This ioctl is necessary so that the userland utilities using the interface need
not access the hibernation image header, owned by the kernel, in order to obtain
the size of the image.

some printk messages from the audit system can become excessive.  This
patch ratelimits those messages.  It was found that messages, such as
the audit backlog lost printk message could flood the logs to the point
that a machine could take an nmi watchdog hit or otherwise become

Eric Paris e445deb593 [AUDIT] include audit type in audit message when using printk
Currently audit drops the audit type when an audit message goes through
printk instead of the audit deamon.  This is a minor annoyance in
that the audit type is no longer part of the message and the information
the audit type conveys needs to be carried in, or derived from the
message data.

The attached patch includes the type number as part of the printk.
Admittedly it isn't the type name that the audit deamon provides but I
think this is better than dropping the type completely.

Thomas Gleixner cd689985cf futex: Add bitset conditional wait/wakeup functionality
To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc
needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset
mask.

This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS
These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an
additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is
expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which
is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP.

FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is
stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter
into the hashed futex waitqueue.

FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup
function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each
waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set
bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If
the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is
matching), then the waiter is woken.

The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the
provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL.

Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT
and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits
set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions.

Thomas Gleixner 83e96c604e futex: Remove warn on in return fixup path
The WARN_ON() in the fixup return path of futex_lock_pi() can
trigger with false positives.

The following scenario happens:
t1 holds the futex and t2 and t3 are blocked on the kernel side rt_mutex.
t1 releases the futex (and the rt_mutex) and assigned t2 to be the next
owner of the futex.

t2 is interrupted and returns w/o acquiring the rt_mutex, before t1 can
release the rtmutex.

t1 releases the rtmutex and t3 becomes the pending owner of the rtmutex.

t2 notices that it is the designated owner (user space variable) and
fails to acquire the rt_mutex via trylock, because it is not allowed to
steal the rt_mutex from t3. Now it looks at the rt_mutex pending owner (t3)
and assigns the futex and the pi_state to it.

During the fixup t4 steals the rtmutex from t3.

t2 returns from the fixup and the owner of the rt_mutex has changed from
t3 to t4.

There is no need to do another round of fixups from t2. The important
part (t2 is not returning as the user space visible owner) is
done. The further fixups are done, before either t3 or t4 return to
user space.

For the user space it is not relevant which task (t3 or t4) is the real
owner, as long as those are both in the kernel, which is guaranteed by
the serialization of the hash bucket lock. Both tasks (which ever returns
first to userspace - t4 because it locked the rt_mutex or t3 due to a signal)
are going through the lock_futex_pi() return path where the ownership is
fixed before the return to user space.

Herbert Xu 406a1d8680 [AUDIT]: Increase skb->truesize in audit_expand
The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code.  It
was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize.
The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function
is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed
and therefore it doesn't update its value.

Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize
has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.

Srivatsa Vaddagiri 296825cbe1 sched: fix high wake up latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED
The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for
!FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity():

	if (!initial) {
		/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
		if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se))
						     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
			vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;

		/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
		vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
	}

NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and
not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that
wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as
!FAIR_USER_SCHED.
