2011-05-09init, sched: Fix race between init and kthreaddPeter Zijlstra
commit b433c3d4549ae74935b585115f076c6fb7bc48fe upstream. Ilya reported that on a very slow machine he could reliably reproduce a race between forking init and kthreadd. We first fork init so that it obtains pid-1, however since the scheduler is already fully running at this point it can preempt and run the init thread before we spawn and set kthreadd_task. The init thread can then attempt spawning kthreads without kthreadd being present which results in an OOPS.

2011-05-09slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEMJames Bottomley
commit 4a5fa3590f09999f6db41bc386bce40848fa9f63 upstream. Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k, mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users reporting these panics.

2010-05-12initramfs: handle unrecognised decompressor when unpackingPhillip Lougher
commit df37bd156dcb4f5441beaf5bde444adac974e9a0 upstream. The unpack routine fails to handle the decompress_method() returning unrecognised decompressor (compress_name == NULL). This results in the routine looping eventually oopsing on an out of bounds memory access. Note this bug is usually hidden, only triggering on trailing junk after one or more correct compressed blocks. The case of the compressed archive being complete junk is (by accident?) caught by the if (state != Reset) check because state is initialised to Start, but not updated due to the decompressor not having been called. Obviously if the junk is trailing a correctly decompressed buffer, state == Reset from the previous call to the decompressor.

commit 5ab116c9349ef52d6fbd2e2917a53f13194b048e upstream. cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops.

2009-10-06perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backingPeter Zijlstra
Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps. These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this. However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular allocations.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. o Add comments for tricky parts of code, and correct comments that have passed their sell-by date. o Get rid of the vestiges of rcu_init_sched(), which is no longer needed now that PREEMPT_RCU is gone. o Move the #include of rcutree_plugin.h to the end of rcutree.c, which means that, rather than having a random collection of forward declarations, the new set of forward declarations document the set of plugins.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-15Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /devKay Sievers
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init. There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that point so no real wreckage is expected.

2009-08-23rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCUPaul E. McKenney
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.

The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the /debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing: Depth Size Location (72 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 3704 52 __change_page_attr+0xb8/0x290 1) 3652 24 __change_page_attr_set_clr+0x43/0x90 2) 3628 60 kernel_map_pages+0x108/0x120 3) 3568 40 prep_new_page+0x7d/0x130 4) 3528 84 get_page_from_freelist+0x106/0x420 5) 3444 116 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xd7/0x550 6) 3328 36 allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100 7) 3292 36 new_slab+0x1c/0x160 8) 3256 36 __slab_alloc+0x133/0x2b0 9) 3220 4 kmem_cache_alloc+0x1bb/0x1d0 10) 3216 108 create_object+0x28/0x250 11) 3108 40 kmemleak_alloc+0x81/0xc0 12) 3068 24 kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0 13) 3044 52 scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70 14) 2992 20 scsi_host_alloc_command+0x22/0x70 15) 2972 24 __scsi_get_command+0x1b/0x90 16) 2948 28 scsi_get_command+0x35/0x90 17) 2920 24 scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd+0xd4/0x100 18) 2896 128 sd_prep_fn+0x332/0xa70 19) 2768 36 blk_peek_request+0xe7/0x1d0 20) 2732 56 scsi_request_fn+0x54/0x520 21) 2676 12 __generic_unplug_device+0x2b/0x40 22) 2664 24 blk_execute_rq_nowait+0x59/0x80 23) 2640 172 blk_execute_rq+0x6b/0xb0 24) 2468 32 scsi_execute+0xe0/0x140 25) 2436 64 scsi_execute_req+0x152/0x160 26) 2372 60 scsi_vpd_inquiry+0x6c/0x90 27) 2312 44 scsi_get_vpd_page+0x112/0x160 28) 2268 52 sd_revalidate_disk+0x1df/0x320 29) 2216 92 rescan_partitions+0x98/0x330 30) 2124 52 __blkdev_get+0x309/0x350 31) 2072 8 blkdev_get+0xf/0x20 32) 2064 44 register_disk+0xff/0x120 33) 2020 36 add_disk+0x6e/0xb0 34) 1984 44 sd_probe_async+0xfb/0x1d0 35) 1940 44 __async_schedule+0xf4/0x1b0 36) 1896 8 async_schedule+0x12/0x20 37) 1888 60 sd_probe+0x305/0x360 38) 1828 44 really_probe+0x63/0x170 39) 1784 36 driver_probe_device+0x5d/0x60 40) 1748 16 __device_attach+0x49/0x50 41) 1732 32 bus_for_each_drv+0x5b/0x80 42) 1700 24 device_attach+0x6b/0x70 43) 1676 16 bus_attach_device+0x47/0x60 44) 1660 76 device_add+0x33d/0x400 45) 1584 52 scsi_sysfs_add_sdev+0x6a/0x2c0 46) 1532 108 scsi_add_lun+0x44b/0x460 47) 1424 116 scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x182/0x4e0 48) 1308 36 __scsi_add_device+0xd9/0xe0 49) 1272 44 ata_scsi_scan_host+0x10b/0x190 50) 1228 24 async_port_probe+0x96/0xd0 51) 1204 44 __async_schedule+0xf4/0x1b0 52) 1160 8 async_schedule+0x12/0x20 53) 1152 48 ata_host_register+0x171/0x1d0 54) 1104 60 ata_pci_sff_activate_host+0xf3/0x230 55) 1044 44 ata_pci_sff_init_one+0xea/0x100 56) 1000 48 amd_init_one+0xb2/0x190 57) 952 8 local_pci_probe+0x13/0x20 58) 944 32 pci_device_probe+0x68/0x90 59) 912 44 really_probe+0x63/0x170 60) 868 36 driver_probe_device+0x5d/0x60 61) 832 20 __driver_attach+0x89/0xa0 62) 812 32 bus_for_each_dev+0x5b/0x80 63) 780 12 driver_attach+0x1e/0x20 64) 768 72 bus_add_driver+0x14b/0x2d0 65) 696 36 driver_register+0x6e/0x150 66) 660 20 __pci_register_driver+0x53/0xc0 67) 640 8 amd_init+0x14/0x16 68) 632 572 do_one_initcall+0x2b/0x1d0 69) 60 12 do_basic_setup+0x56/0x6a 70) 48 20 kernel_init+0x84/0xce 71) 28 28 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to the boot trace entry variables being on the stack. Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope. Note that this large stack footprint was present for a couple of months already - what pushed my system over the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain: 6) 3328 36 allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100 7) 3292 36 new_slab+0x1c/0x160 8) 3256 36 __slab_alloc+0x133/0x2b0 9) 3220 4 kmem_cache_alloc+0x1bb/0x1d0 10) 3216 108 create_object+0x28/0x250 11) 3108 40 kmemleak_alloc+0x81/0xc0 12) 3068 24 kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0 13) 3044 52 scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70 This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info. The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes to 28 bytes.

Conflicts: arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_ondemand.c mm/percpu.c Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids. As for-next branch has moved all the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved from arch code to mm/percpu.c. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-08-14init: set nr_cpu_ids before setup_per_cpu_areas()Tejun Heo
nr_cpu_ids is dependent only on cpu_possible_map and setup_per_cpu_areas() already depends on cpu_possible_map and will use nr_cpu_ids. Initialize nr_cpu_ids before setting up percpu areas. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
