2009-09-24time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for ↵Zhaolei
universal use There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between calendar time and broken-down time. Here is some source I found: fs/ncpfs/dir.c fs/smbfs/proc.c fs/fat/misc.c fs/udf/udftime.c fs/cifs/netmisc.c net/netfilter/xt_time.c drivers/scsi/ips.c drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c arch/m68k/mac/misc.c arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h ... We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we can get following benefit: 1: Make kernel simple and unify 2: Easy to fix bug in converting code 3: Reduce clone of code in future For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime, this patch will make me easy.

2009-09-24Audit: send signal info if selinux is disabledEric Paris
Audit will not respond to signal requests if selinux is disabled since it is unable to translate the 0 sid from the sending process to a context. This patch just doesn't send the context info if there isn't any. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-09-24Audit: rearrange audit_context to save 16 bytes per structEric Paris
pahole pointed out that on x86_64 struct audit_context can be rearrainged to save 16 bytes per struct. Since we have an audit_context per task this can acually be a pretty significant gain. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-09-24Audit: reorganize struct audit_watch to save 8 bytesEric Paris
pahole showed that struct audit_watch had two holes: struct audit_watch { atomic_t count; /* 0 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ char * path; /* 8 8 */ dev_t dev; /* 16 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int ino; /* 24 8 */ struct audit_parent * parent; /* 32 8 */ struct list_head wlist; /* 40 16 */ struct list_head rules; /* 56 16 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 64, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; /* definitions: 1 */ by moving dev after count we save 8 bytes, actually improving cacheline usage. There are typically very few of these in the kernel so it won't be a large savings, but it's a good thing no matter what.

2009-09-23Revert "kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code"Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
This reverts commit c02e3f361c7 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code") The patch is wrong. UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent. No race. In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it claims not do: - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the following call chain: [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) and the path pointer was NULL. Good that ARM's kernel_execve() doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it. The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for me to investigate it now. UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK and we could save one exec. So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

2009-09-23walk system ram rangeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range. For doing so, flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for memory hotplug. But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM. This patch makes the check strict to find out busy "System RAM". Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through ppc64's lmb informaton. Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this patch makes no difference in behavior, finally. And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function. Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic to scan physical memory range.

2009-09-23procfs: provide stack information for threadsStefani Seibold
A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage, especially for embedded linux. Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads. There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage. A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like: 08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] a7d12000-a7d13000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7d13000-a7f13000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [thread stack: 001ff4b4] a7f13000-a7f14000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f14000-a7f36000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f36000-a8069000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a8069000-a806b000 r--p 00133000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806b000-a806c000 rw-p 00135000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806c000-a806f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a806f000-a8083000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8083000-a8084000 r--p 00013000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8084000-a8085000 rw-p 00014000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8085000-a8088000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a8088000-a80a4000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a4000-a80a5000 r--p 0001b000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a5000-a80a6000 rw-p 0001c000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 afaf5000-afb0a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status which will you give the current stack usage in kb.

CapBnd: fffffffffffffeff voluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 Stack usage: 12 kB I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main process.

2009-09-23getrusage: fill ru_maxrss valueJiri Pirko
Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater mark. This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall. ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed. To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill ->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm struct exists. Note: exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss. it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting. test programs ======================================================== getrusage.c =========== #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/resource.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include "common.h" #define err(str) perror(str), exit(1) int main(int argc, char** argv) { int status; printf("allocate 100MB\n"); consume(100); printf("testcase1: fork inherit? \n"); printf(" expect: initial.self ~= child.self\n"); show_rusage("initial"); if (__fork()) { wait(&status); } else { show_rusage("fork child"); _exit(0); } printf("\n"); printf("testcase2: fork inherit?

2009-09-23proc connector: add event for process becoming session leaderScott James Remnant
The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a supervising init daemon such as Upstart. While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a daemon, it is rare for its children to do so. When the children do, it is nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the parent and not supervised along with it. The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid() so that they may control the pty connected to them. If the primary daemon dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children. This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

2009-09-23generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data locklessXiao Guangrong
This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the reasons are below: 1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(), it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(). 2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call, only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it. 3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

2009-09-23kmod: fix race in usermodehelper codeNeil Horman
The user mode helper code has a race in it. call_usermodehelper_exec() takes an allocated subprocess_info structure, which it passes to a workqueue, and then passes it to a kernel thread which it creates, after which it calls complete to signal to the caller of call_usermodehelper_exec() that it can free the subprocess_info struct. But since we use that structure in the created thread, we can't call complete from __call_usermodehelper(), which is where we create the kernel thread. We need to call complete() from within the kernel thread and then not use subprocess_info afterward in the case of UMH_WAIT_EXEC. Tested successfully by me.

2009-09-22cpuidle: fix the menu governor to boost IO performanceArjan van de Ven
Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency and performance impact. The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server systems. To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results: (benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll") no cstates current linux new algorithm 1 disk 107 Mb/s 85 Mb/s 105 Mb/s 2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s 12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance. While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code instead.

2009-09-22oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to signal_structKOSAKI Motohiro
Currently, OOM logic callflow is here. __out_of_memory() select_bad_process() for each task badness() calculate badness of one task oom_kill_process() search child oom_kill_task() kill target task and mm shared tasks with it example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score. thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0 thread-B: oom_adj = 0, oom_score = very-high Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE. Thus __out_of_memory() call select_bad_process() again. but select_bad_process() select the same task. It mean kernel fall in livelock. The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task. otherwise OOM logic go into livelock. And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value. it should be per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread. Thus This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct signal_struct. it naturally prevent select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full available range. Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

2009-09-22ksm: fix deadlock with munlock in exit_mmapAndrea Arcangeli
Rawhide users have reported hang at startup when cryptsetup is run: the same problem can be simply reproduced by running a program int main() { mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE); return 0; } The problem is that exit_mmap() applies munlock_vma_pages_all() to clean up VM_LOCKED areas, and its current implementation (stupidly) tries to fault in absent pages, for example where PROT_NONE prevented them being faulted in when mlocking. Whereas the "ksm: fix oom deadlock" patch, knowing there's a race by which KSM might try to fault in pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of such faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0. So revert that part of "ksm: fix oom deadlock" which moved the ksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap(); and remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so allowing the munlocking to proceed without interference. ksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes mmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while exit_mmap runs. And KSM will bail out as soon as it notices that mm_users is already zero, thanks to its internal ksm_test_exit checks. So that when a task is killed by OOM killer or the user, KSM will not indefinitely prevent it from running exit_mmap to release its memory. This does break a part of what "ksm: fix oom deadlock" was trying to achieve. When unmerging KSM (echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even when ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the first OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its memory won't be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing memory for the unmerging fault to complete). But the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the intended victim's p->mm goes to NULL: so there's not much point in rejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour. It is very much more important to allow KSM users to boot up, than to haggle over an unlikely and poorly supported OOM case. We also intend to fix munlocking to not fault pages: at which point this patch _could_ be reverted; though that would be controversial, so we hope to find a better solution.

2009-09-22ksm: fix oom deadlockHugh Dickins
There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling: imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex, trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex. Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow? And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages: __ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd. But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem. And bumping mm_users won't help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes are on their way to being freed will not be freed. The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem. But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table. Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating a zapped pte. All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached. So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users. __ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd, that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with. __ksm_enter raise mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it, similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd). But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication (no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor), it can safely do all the exiting work itself. This is not just an optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would otherwise leak mm_structs.

When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than pretending that they can be serviced. But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not touch (e.g. hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings). Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory. Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it. Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting. Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

2009-09-22mm: oom analysis: Show kernel stack usage in /proc/meminfo and OOM log outputKOSAKI Motohiro
The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and cause OOM conditions. However, we do not display the amount of memory consumed by stacks. Add code to display the amount of memory used for stacks in /proc/meminfo.

2009-09-22futex: Fix wakeup race by setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before queue_me()Darren Hart
PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed.
