2012-01-12cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by nameLi Zefan
commit 0d19ea866562e46989412a0676412fa0983c9ce7 upstream. If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique, and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3 Here's an example: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1 # mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2 But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e2f192eb002755076994525cdbaa35a (cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate) This fixes the regression.

2012-01-06ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detachOleg Nesterov
commit 8a88951b5878dc475dcd841cefc767e36397d14e upstream. This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this area. 1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running thread which can initiate another group-stop. Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace). 2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr) in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches. Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report. Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the possible similar problems.

2012-01-06ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE raceOleg Nesterov
commit 50b8d257486a45cba7b65ca978986ed216bbcc10 upstream. Test-case: int main(void) { int pid, status; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { for (;;) { if (!fork()) return 0; if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) { printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n"); return 0; } } } assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0); do { ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0); pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0); } while (pid > 0); return 1; } It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE in wait_task_zombie(). The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check, but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace. This patch adds the additional check to close this particular race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent. I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too complex for 3.2.

2012-01-06futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_areaHugh Dickins
commit e6780f7243eddb133cc20ec37fa69317c218b709 upstream. It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the ZERO_PAGE issue. While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping. And are there still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping, and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail? In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all: Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem, because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to interfere when the page reference count is raised. But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount. Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.

2012-01-06cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_procMandeep Singh Baines
commit e0197aae59e55c06db172bfbe1a1cdb8c0e1cab3 upstream. There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch() is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG. This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to cgroup.procs. $ cat zombie.c \#include <unistd.h> int main() { if (fork()) pause(); return 0; } $ We are hitting this bug pretty regularly on ChromeOS. This bug is already fixed by Tejun Heo's cgroup patchset which is targetted for the next merge window: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/1/356 I've create a smaller patch here which just fixes this bug so that a fix can be merged into the current release and stable.

2012-01-06binary_sysctl(): fix memory leakMichel Lespinasse
commit 3d3c8f93a237b64580c5c5e138edeb1377e98230 upstream. binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache slab usin __getname() The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname() which should be used only to match getname() allocations. This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname *instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So, __getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

2011-12-21lockdep, kmemcheck: Annotate ->lock in lockdep_init_map()Yong Zhang
commit a33caeb118198286309859f014c0662f3ed54ed4 upstream. Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"), lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition is like below: CPU A CPU B lock_set_subclass(lockA); lock_set_class(lockA); lockdep_init_map(lockA); /* lockA->name is cleared */ memset(lockA); __lock_acquire(lockA); /* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */ register_lock_class(lockA); look_up_lock_class(lockA); WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name != lock->name); lock->name = name; So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate ->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck warning reported in commit f59de89.

commit cb59974742aea24adf6637eb0c4b8e7b48bca6fb upstream. Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from ever being released.

Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.

commit c7c6ec8becaf742b223c7b491f4893014be23a07 upstream. A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was accidently left in during the final commit.

2011-12-09clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjustedJohn Stultz
commit d65670a78cdbfae94f20a9e05ec705871d7cdf2b upstream. For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> CC: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> CC: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Reported-by: Chen Jie <chenj@lemote.com> Reported-by: zhangfx <zhangfx@lemote.com> Tested-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-12-09hrtimer: Fix extra wakeups from __remove_hrtimer()Jeff Ohlstein
commit 27c9cd7e601632b3794e1c3344d37b86917ffb43 upstream. __remove_hrtimer() attempts to reprogram the clockevent device when the timer being removed is the next to expire. However, __remove_hrtimer() reprograms the clockevent *before* removing the timer from the timerqueue and thus when hrtimer_force_reprogram() finds the next timer to expire it finds the timer we're trying to remove. This is especially noticeable when the system switches to NOHz mode and the system tick is removed. The timer tick is removed from the system but the clockevent is programmed to wakeup in another HZ anyway. Silence the extra wakeup by removing the timer from the timerqueue before calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() so that we actually program the clockevent for the next timer to expire. This was broken by 998adc3 "hrtimers: Convert hrtimers to use timerlist infrastructure".

commit 884a45d964dd395eda945842afff5e16bcaedf56 upstream. 2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches CGROUP_FROZEN. Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations (update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when testing frozen tasks.

commit 52553ddffad76ccf192d4dd9ce88d5818f57f62a upstream. Commit fa27271bc8d2("genirq: Fixup poll handling") introduced a regression that broke irqfixup/irqpoll for some hardware configurations. Amidst reorganizing 'try_one_irq', that patch removed a test that checked for 'action->handler' returning IRQ_HANDLED, before acting on the interrupt. Restoring this test back returns the functionality lost since 2.6.39. In the current set of tests, after 'action' is set, it must precede '!action->next' to take effect. With this and my previous patch to irq/spurious.c, c75d720fca8a, all IRQ regressions that I have encountered are fixed.

2011-11-11genirq: Add IRQF_RESUME_EARLY and resume such IRQs earlierIan Campbell
commit 9bab0b7fbaceec47d32db51cd9e59c82fb071f5a upstream. This adds a mechanism to resume selected IRQs during syscore_resume instead of dpm_resume_noirq. Under Xen we need to resume IRQs associated with IPIs early enough that the resched IPI is unmasked and we can therefore schedule ourselves out of the stop_machine where the suspend/resume takes place.

2011-11-11tracing: Fix returning of duplicate data after EOF in trace_pipe_rawSteven Rostedt
commit 436fc280261dcfce5af38f08b89287750dc91cd2 upstream. The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the next read will continue where the data left off. After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards but instead data is just repeated. The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more data exists in the ring buffer.

There's a lock inversion between the cputimer->lock and rq->lock; notably the two callchains involved are: update_rlimit_cpu() sighand->siglock set_process_cpu_timer() cpu_timer_sample_group() thread_group_cputimer() cputimer->lock thread_group_cputime() task_sched_runtime() ->pi_lock rq->lock scheduler_tick() rq->lock task_tick_fair() update_curr() account_group_exec() cputimer->lock Where the first one is enabling a CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID timer, and the second one is keeping up-to-date. This problem was introduced by e8abccb7193 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP accounting oddities"). Cure the problem by removing the cputimer->lock and rq->lock nesting, this leaves concurrent enablers doing duplicate work, but the time wasted should be on the same order otherwise wasted spinning on the lock and the greater-than assignment filter should ensure we preserve monotonicity.

The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".

David reported: Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from GLIBC. Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or similar. Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock difference. This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread is part of the top-level process's thread group. I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries).

This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks. This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

2011-09-29Resource: fix wrong resource window calculationRam Pai
__find_resource() incorrectly returns a resource window which overlaps an existing allocated window. This happens when the parent's resource-window spans 0x00000000 to 0xffffffff and is entirely allocated to all its children resource-windows. __find_resource() looks for gaps in resource allocation among the children resource windows. When it encounters the last child window it blindly tries the range next to one allocated to the last child. Since the last child's window ends at 0xffffffff the calculation overflows, leading the algorithm to believe that any window in the range 0x0000000 to 0xfffffff is available for allocation. This leads to a conflicting window allocation. Michal Ludvig reported this issue seen on his platform. The following patch fixes the problem and has been verified by Michal.

Commit 43fa5460fe60dea5c610490a1d263415419c60f6 ("sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasks") also introduced a change in behavior which keeps RT tasks on the same CPU if there is an equal priority RT task currently running even if there are empty CPUs available. This can cause unnecessary wakeup latencies, and can prevent the scheduler from balancing all RT tasks across available CPUs. This change causes an RT task to search for a new CPU if an equal priority RT task is already running on wakeup. Lower priority tasks will still have to wait on higher priority tasks, but the system should still balance out because there is always the possibility that if there are both a high and low priority RT tasks on a given CPU that the high priority task could wakeup while the low priority task is running and force it to search for a better runqueue.

If an irq_chip provides .irq_shutdown(), but neither of .irq_disable() or .irq_mask(), free_irq() crashes when jumping to NULL. Fix this by only trying .irq_disable() and .irq_mask() if there's no .irq_shutdown() provided. This revives the symmetry with irq_startup(), which tries .irq_startup(), .irq_enable(), and irq_unmask(), and makes it consistent with the comment for irq_chip.irq_shutdown() in <linux/irq.h>, which says: * @irq_shutdown: shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL) This is also how __free_irq() behaved before the big overhaul, cfr. e.g. 3b56f0585fd4c02d047dc406668cb40159b2d340 ("genirq: Remove bogus conditional"), where the core interrupt code always overrode .irq_shutdown() to .irq_disable() if .irq_shutdown() was NULL.

We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and timing information when events were being multiplexing. Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3 times to cause multiplexing on Core 2): $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 & IIP:0x0000000040062d ...

It turns out the bug was introduced by the following commit: commit c4794295917ebeda8013b6cb9c8d71ab4f74a1fa events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running and time_enabled being swapped.

2011-08-29perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch codeStephane Eranian
The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup. The results shown by perf stat are bogus: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups. The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%. And the results for perf stat are correct: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz Now perf stat reports the correct counts for for the non cgroup event.

2011-08-29sched: Move blk_schedule_flush_plug() out of __schedule()Thomas Gleixner
There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with interrupts and preemption disabled. Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really different from being woken immediately after switching away. This fixes a deadlock in the scheduler where the blk_schedule_flush_plug() callchain enables interrupts and thereby allows a wakeup to happen of the task that's going to sleep.
