David Howells ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

David Howells e0e817392b CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).

Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.

This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

Arjan van de Ven 8f0dfc34e9 sched: Provide iowait counters
For counting how long an application has been waiting for
(disk) IO, there currently is only the HZ sample driven
information available, while for all other counters in this
class, a high resolution version is available via
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS.

In order to make an improved bootchart tool possible, we also
need a higher resolution version of the iowait time.

This patch below adds this scheduler statistic to the kernel.

Heiko Carstens 892a7c67c1 locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks
This allows an architecture to specify per lock variant if the
locking code should be kept out-of-line or inlined.

If an architecure wants out-of-line locking code no change is
needed. To force inlining of e.g. spin_lock() the line:

  #define __always_inline__spin_lock

needs to be added to arch/<...>/include/asm/spinlock.h

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
defined the per architecture defines are (partly) ignored and
still out-of-line spinlock code will be generated.

Li Zefan 8e254c1d18 tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation
init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:

	5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB

642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace

That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
it's needed, that's when filter is used.

Paul E. McKenney dd5d19bafd rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the
possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when
there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that
started life on one of the CPUs on that node.

In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the
task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the
rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists.  These tasks need to be moved
somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace
period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node.

Peter Zijlstra eced1dfcfc perf_counter: Fix /0 bug in swcounters
We have a race in the swcounter stuff where we can start
counting a counter that has never been enabled, this leads to a
/0 situation.

The below avoids the /0 but doesn't close the race, this would
need a new counter state.

The race is due to perf_swcounter_is_counting() which cannot
discern between disabled due to scheduled out, and disabled for
any other reason.

Such a crash has been seen by Ingo:

Ingo Molnar ea6bff3685 modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case
> James Bottomley (1):
>       module: workaround duplicate section names

-tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled:

 kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’:
 kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’
 distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed
 make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1
 make: *** [kernel] Error 2
 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only
built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes
this.

( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as
  well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less
  intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. )

Peter Zijlstra 34d76c4155 sched: Fix division by zero - really
When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu
representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the
total weight of the sched domain.

Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the
weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and
calculating the ratio.

The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios,
this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the
individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent
set.

However, there's a problem with commit

it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()

This should fix it

Oleg Nesterov 4ab6c08336 clone(): fix race between copy_process() and de_thread()
Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below.

copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not.
This test case

	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <pthread.h>

	void *null_thread(void *p)
	{
		for (;;)
			sleep(1);

		return NULL;
	}

	void *exec_thread(void *p)
	{
		execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL);

		return null_thread(p);
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		for (;;) {
			pid_t pid;
			int ret, status;

			pid = fork();
			if (pid < 0)
				break;

			if (!pid) {
				pthread_t tid;

				pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL);
				for (;;)
					pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL);
			}

			do {
				ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
			} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
		}

		return 0;
	}

quickly creates an unkillable task.

If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.

Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail.  In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.

If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag.  If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group.  If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.

We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all.  This patch only fixes the bug.

Hendrik Brueckner cc3b13c11c tracing: Don't trace kernel thread syscalls
Kernel threads don't call syscalls using the sysenter/sysexit
path. Instead they directly call the sys_* or do_* functions
that implement the syscalls inside the kernel.

The current syscall tracepoints only bind the sysenter/sysexit
path, then it has no effect to trace the kernel thread calls
to syscalls in that path.
Setting the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag is then useless for these.

Actually there is only one case when a kernel thread can reach the
usual syscall exit tracing path: when we create a kernel thread, the
child comes to ret_from_fork and is the fork() return is then traced.
But this information alone is useless, then we don't want to set the
TIF flags for these threads.

Kernel threads have task_struct->mm set to NULL.
(Thanks to Heiko for that hint ;-)
The idea is then to check the mm field in syscall_regfunc() and
set the flag accordingly.

Hendrik Brueckner cd0980fc8a tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls
Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).

Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.

There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:

1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
   tracing code resets it.
   (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)

2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
   TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
   which include kernel threads.
   However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
   syscall trace points:
      - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
      - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
      - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
	ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.

To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.

For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

Li Zefan 87a342f5db tracing/filters: Support filtering for char * strings
Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.

But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.

To allow char * to be treated as a string:

	TRACE_EVENT(...,

		TP_STRUCT__entry(
			__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
			...
		)

		...
	);

The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

Josh Stone 9741987586 tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition
It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet.  This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet.  It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint.  The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

Josh Stone 3d27d8cb34 tracing: Make syscall tracepoints conditional
The syscall enter/exit tracepoints are only supported on archs that
HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS, so the declarations should be #ifdef'ed.
Also, the definition of syscall_regfunc and syscall_unregfunc should
depend on this same config, rather than the ftrace-specific one.

Paul Mackerras fa289beca9 perf_counter: Start counting time enabled when group leader gets enabled
Currently, if a group is created where the group leader is
initially disabled but a non-leader member is initially
enabled, and then the leader is subsequently enabled some time
later, the time_enabled for the non-leader member will reflect
the whole time since it was created, not just the time since
the leader was enabled.

This is incorrect, because all of the members are effectively
disabled while the leader is disabled, since none of the
members can go on the PMU if the leader can't.

Thus we have to update the ->tstamp_enabled for all the enabled
group members when a group leader is enabled, so that the
time_enabled computation only counts the time since the leader
was enabled.

Similarly, when disabling a group leader we have to update the
time_enabled and time_running for all of the group members.

Also, in update_counter_times, we have to treat a counter whose
group leader is disabled as being disabled.

Michal Schmidt d8e180dcd5 bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting file
When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to
the account file.  In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting
processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log.

SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs.
So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because
someone enabled process accounting.

For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should
be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting,
because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting
information logged.

Paul E. McKenney f41d911f8c rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

All calls from outside RCU are of the form:

This is silly, instead we put a call to rcu_pending() in
rcu_check_callbacks(), and then make the outside calls be to
rcu_check_callbacks().  This cuts down on the code a bit and
also gives the compiler a better chance of optimizing.

Suresh Siddha f833bab87f clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lock
Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.

This results in a deadlock in this scenario.

cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.

This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.

Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.

Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
chain.

This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

Li Zefan e6971969c3 tracing/syscalls: Fix fields format for enter events
The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.

But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.

To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
and ftrace.

This change moves an RCU grace period delay off of the
critical path for CPU-hotunplug operations.

Since RCU callback migration is only performed on
CPU-hotunplug operations, and since the rcu_barrier() race is
provoked only by consecutive CPU-hotunplug operations, it is
not necessary to delay the end of a given CPU-hotunplug
operation.

We can instead choose to delay the beginning of the next
CPU-hotunplug operation.

If one filter item (for set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace) is being

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)

        int fd, i;
        char *file = argv[1];

        if (-1 == (fd = open(file, O_WRONLY))) {
                perror("open failed");
                return -1;
        }

        for(i = 0; i < (argc - 2); i++) {
                int len = strlen(argv[2+i]);
                int cnt, off = 0;

                while(len) {
                        cnt = write(fd, argv[2+i] + off, len);
                        len -= cnt;
                        off += cnt;
                }
        }

        close(fd);

KOSAKI Motohiro 0753ba01e1 mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"
The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct.  It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.

However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler.  Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.

Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.

	...
	set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
	...
	if (vfork() == 0) {
		set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
		execve("foo-bar-cmd");
	}
	....

vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct.  then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent.  Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.

Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.

Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

Reverted commit list
---------------------
- commit 2ff05b2b4e (oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_struct)
- commit 4d8b9135c3 (oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLE)
- commit 8123681022 (oom: only oom kill exiting tasks with attached memory)
- commit 933b787b57 (mm: copy over oom_adj value at fork time)

As PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET is not defined.

Now, we could define it in the architecture - but lets also provide
a core default of 0 (which happens to be what all but one
architecture uses at the moment).

Architectures that need a different index offset should set this
value in their asm/perf_counter.h files.

Paul Mackerras e1ac3614ff perf_counter: Check task on counter read IPI
In general, code in perf_counter.c that is called through an
IPI checks, for per-task counters, that the counter's task is
still the current task.  This is to handle the race condition
where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in
the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and
being handled on the target CPU.

For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet
there is no reason why the race condition can't occur.  This
adds a check that the current task is the one we want.  If it
isn't, we just return.  In that case the counter->count value
should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the
counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the
IPI was sent.

I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race,
but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard
against it.
