Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a set of 3 regression fixes.
This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add <netns>" to display
the actual mount point.
This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach.
This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc
that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use. Oops.
My apologies for sending this pull request so late. Al Viro gave
interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to
address in detail before I sent this pull request. Unfortunately a
bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today.
The executive summary of the review was:
Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient?
The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of
functions is a really mess.
Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient. Yes, the code is mess.
No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression
that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line
change will do"

Unfortunately the seqlock lockdep enablement can't be used
in sched_clock(), since the lockdep infrastructure eventually
calls into sched_clock(), which causes a deadlock.
Thus, this patch changes all generic sched_clock() usage
to use the raw_* methods.

Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is
experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified
commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA
node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load.
Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a
scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier
as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a
result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs
on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for
calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce
the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight
of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case.
wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it
is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the
near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load
of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by
task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide
search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the
historical behaviour.

"There's one interseting commit - "libata, freezer: avoid block device

deadlock condition between driver core resume and block layer device

writeback being converted to workqueue some releases ago. The bug has
nothing to do with libata but it's just an workaround which is easy to
backport. After discussion, Rafael and I seem to agree that we don't
really need kernel freezables - both kthread and workqueue. There are
few specific workqueues which constitute PM operations and require
freezing, which will be converted to use workqueue_set_max_active()
instead. All other kernel freezer uses are planned to be removed,
followed by the removal of kthread and workqueue freezer support,
hopefully.
Others are device-specific fixes. The most notable is the addition of
NO_NCQ_TRIM which is used to disable queued TRIM commands to Micro

Freezable kthreads and workqueues are fundamentally problematic in
that they effectively introduce a big kernel lock widely used in the
kernel and have already been the culprit of several deadlock
scenarios. This is the latest occurrence.
During resume, libata rescans all the ports and revalidates all
pre-existing devices. If it determines that a device has gone
missing, the device is removed from the system which involves
invalidating block device and flushing bdi while holding driver core
layer locks. Unfortunately, this can race with the rest of device
resume. Because freezable kthreads and workqueues are thawed after
device resume is complete and block device removal depends on
freezable workqueues and kthreads (e.g. bdi_wq, jbd2) to make
progress, this can lead to deadlock - block device removal can't
proceed because kthreads are frozen and kthreads can't be thawed
because device resume is blocked behind block device removal.
839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation
with unbound workqueue") made this particular deadlock scenario more
visible but the underlying problem has always been there - the
original forker task and jbd2 are freezable too. In fact, this is
highly likely just one of many possible deadlock scenarios given that
freezer behaves as a big kernel lock and we don't have any debug
mechanism around it.
I believe the right thing to do is getting rid of freezable kthreads
and workqueues. This is something fundamentally broken. For now,
implement a funny workaround in libata - just avoid doing block device
hot[un]plug while the system is frozen. Kernel engineering at its
finest. :(
v2: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pm_freezing) for cases where libata is built
as a module.
v3: Comment updated and polling interval changed to 10ms as suggested
by Rafael.
v4: Add #ifdef CONFIG_FREEZER around the hack as pm_freezing is not
defined when FREEZER is not configured thus breaking build.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.
The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.
During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.
This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.
When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.
This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).
The basic race looks like this:
CPU A CPU B CPU C
load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
fault on entry
read/write old page
start migrating page
change PTE/PMD to new page
read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
reload TLB from new entry
read/write new page
lose data
[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!
The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.
This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Commit 1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic
kernel") moved reboot= handling to generic code. In the process it also
removed the code in native_machine_shutdown() which are moving reboot
process to reboot_cpu/cpu0.
I guess that thought must have been that all reboot paths are calling
migrate_to_reboot_cpu(), so we don't need this special handling. But
kexec reboot path (kernel_kexec()) is not calling
migrate_to_reboot_cpu() so above change broke kexec. Now reboot can
happen on non-boot cpu and when INIT is sent in second kerneo to bring
up BP, it brings down the machine.
So start calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in kexec reboot path to avoid
this problem.

This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.
Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.
The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.
The patch below fixes the problem.

Commit 42eb088e (sched: Avoid NULL dereference on sd_busy) corrected a NULL
dereference on sd_busy but the fix also altered what scheduling domain it
used for the 'sd_llc' percpu variable.
One impact of this is that a task selecting a runqueue may consider
idle CPUs that are not cache siblings as candidates for running.
Tasks are then running on CPUs that are not cache hot.
This was found through bisection where ebizzy threads were not seeing equal
performance and it looked like a scheduling fairness issue. This patch
mitigates but does not completely fix the problem on all machines tested
implying there may be an additional bug or a common root cause. Here are
the average range of performance seen by individual ebizzy threads. It
was tested on top of candidate patches related to x86 TLB range flushing.

Currently, only one PMU in a context gets disabled during unthrottling
and event_sched_{out,in}(), however, events in one context may belong to
different pmus, which results in PMUs being reprogrammed while they are
still enabled.
This means that mixed PMU use [which is rare in itself] resulted in
potentially completely unreliable results: corrupted events, bogus
results, etc.
This patch temporarily disables PMUs that correspond to
each event in the context while these events are being modified.

Instead of removing cgroup id right after all the csses have been
offlined, we should do that after csses have been destroyed.
To make sure an invalid css pointer won't be returned after the css
is destroyed, make sure css_from_id() returns NULL in this case.

Ftrace currently initializes only the online CPUs. This implementation has
two problems:
- If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the
test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU.
Steps to reproduce:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# cd <debugfs>/tracing/
# echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# run test
- If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear
the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble
the users.
Steps to reproduce:
# cd <debugfs>/tracing/
# echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# run test
# cat trace_stat/function*
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 0 > function_profile_enabled
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# cat trace_stat/function*
# run test
# cat trace_stat/function*
So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu
every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.

Fix the gathering of certificates from both the source tree and the build tree
to correctly calculate the pathnames of all the certificates.
The problem was that if the default generated cert, signing_key.x509, didn't
exist then it would not have a path attached and if it did, it would have a
path attached.
This means that the contents of kernel/.x509.list would change between the
first compilation in a directory and the second. After the second it would
remain stable because the signing_key.x509 file exists.
The consequence was that the kernel would get relinked unconditionally on the
second recompilation. The second recompilation would also show something like
this:
X.509 certificate list changed
CERTS kernel/x509_certificate_list
- Including cert /home/torvalds/v2.6/linux/signing_key.x509
AS kernel/system_certificates.o
LD kernel/built-in.o
which is why the relink would happen.
Unfortunately, it isn't a simple matter of just sticking a path on the front
of the filename of the certificate in the build directory as make can't then
work out how to build it.
So the path has to be prepended to the name for sorting and duplicate
elimination and then removed for the make rule if it is in the build tree.

Pull misc keyrings fixes from David Howells:
"These break down into five sets:
- A patch to error handling in the big_key type for huge payloads.
If the payload is larger than the "low limit" and the backing store
allocation fails, then big_key_instantiate() doesn't clear the
payload pointers in the key, assuming them to have been previously
cleared - but only one of them is.
Unfortunately, the garbage collector still calls big_key_destroy()
when sees one of the pointers with a weird value in it (and not
NULL) which it then tries to clean up.
- Three patches to fix the keyring type:
* A patch to fix the hash function to correctly divide keyrings off
from keys in the topology of the tree inside the associative
array. This is only a problem if searching through nested
keyrings - and only if the hash function incorrectly puts the a
keyring outside of the 0 branch of the root node.
* A patch to fix keyrings' use of the associative array. The
__key_link_begin() function initially passes a NULL key pointer
to assoc_array_insert() on the basis that it's holding a place in
the tree whilst it does more allocation and stuff.
This is only a problem when a node contains 16 keys that match at
that level and we want to add an also matching 17th. This should
easily be manufactured with a keyring full of keyrings (without
chucking any other sort of key into the mix) - except for (a)
above which makes it on average adding the 65th keyring.
* A patch to fix searching down through nested keyrings, where any
keyring in the set has more than 16 keyrings and none of the
first keyrings we look through has a match (before the tree
iteration needs to step to a more distal node).
Test in keyutils test suite:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/commit/?id=8b4ae963ed92523aea18dfbb8cab3f4979e13bd1
- A patch to fix the big_key type's use of a shmem file as its
backing store causing audit messages and LSM check failures. This
is done by setting S_PRIVATE on the file to avoid LSM checks on the
file (access to the shmem file goes through the keyctl() interface
and so is gated by the LSM that way).
This isn't normally a problem if a key is used by the context that
generated it - and it's currently only used by libkrb5.

- A patch to add a generated file to .gitignore.
- A patch to fix the alignment of the system certificate data such
that it it works on s390. As I understand it, on the S390 arch,
symbols must be 2-byte aligned because loading the address discards
the least-significant bit"

When debugging the read-only hugepage case, I was confused by the fact
that get_futex_key() did an access_ok() only for the non-shared futex
case, since the user address checking really isn't in any way specific
to the private key handling.
Now, it turns out that the shared key handling does effectively do the
equivalent checks inside get_user_pages_fast() (it doesn't actually
check the address range on x86, but does check the page protections for
being a user page). So it wasn't actually a bug, but the fact that we
treat the address differently for private and shared futexes threw me
for a loop.
Just move the check up, so that it gets done for both cases. Also, use
the 'rw' parameter for the type, even if it doesn't actually matter any
more (it's a historical artifact of the old racy i386 "page faults from
kernel space don't check write protections").

The hugepage code had the exact same bug that regular pages had in
commit 7485d0d3758e ("futexes: Remove rw parameter from
get_futex_key()").
The regular page case was fixed by commit 9ea71503a8ed ("futex: Fix
regression with read only mappings"), but the transparent hugepage case
(added in a5b338f2b0b1: "thp: update futex compound knowledge") case
remained broken.

Christian suffers from a bad BIOS that wrecks his i5's TSC sync. This
results in him occasionally seeing time going backwards - which
crashes the scheduler ...
Most of our time accounting can actually handle that except the most
common one; the tick time update of sched_fair.
There is a further problem with that code; previously we assumed that
because we get a tick every TICK_NSEC our time delta could never
exceed 32bits and math was simpler.
However, ever since Frederic managed to get NO_HZ_FULL merged; this is
no longer the case since now a task can run for a long time indeed
without getting a tick. It only takes about ~4.2 seconds to overflow
our u32 in nanoseconds.
This means we not only need to better deal with time going backwards;
but also means we need to be able to deal with large deltas.
This patch reworks the entire code and uses mul_u64_u32_shr() as
proposed by Andy a long while ago.
We express our virtual time scale factor in a u32 multiplier and shift
right and the 32bit mul_u64_u32_shr() implementation reduces to a
single 32x32->64 multiply if the time delta is still short (common
case).
For 64bit a 64x64->128 multiply can be used if ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.

Apart from data-type specific alignment constraints, there are also
architecture-specific alignment requirements.
For example, on s390 symbols must be on even addresses implying a 2-byte
alignment. If the system_certificate_list_end symbol is on an odd address
and if this address is loaded, the least-significant bit is ignored. As a
result, the load_system_certificate_list() fails to load the certificates
because of a wrong certificate length calculation.
To be safe, align system_certificate_list on an 8-byte boundary. Also improve
the length calculation of the system_certificate_list content. Introduce a
system_certificate_list_size (8-byte aligned because of unsigned long) variable
that stores the length. Let the linker calculate this size by introducing
a start and end label for the certificate content.

Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down in
preparation to kexec a kernel. Add code in PCI subsystem to use this flag
to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of kexec reboot.
This fixes a power-off problem on Acer Aspire V5-573G and likely other
machines and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on
PCI devices in normal shutdown path. The problem was introduced by
b566a22c2332 ("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown").

This patch moves reference bumping inside online_css() loop, clears
css_ar[] as css's are brought online successfully, and updates
err_destroy path so that either a css is fully online and destroyed by
cgroup_destroy_locked() or the error path frees it. This creates a
duplicate css free logic in the error path but it will be cleaned up
soon.
v2: Li pointed out that cgroup_destroy_locked() would do NULL-deref if
invoked with a cgroup which doesn't have all css's populated.
Update cgroup_destroy_locked() so that it skips NULL css's.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling all
events. This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which
enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to
pause for over a minute.
This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched()
performed when system call tracepoints are unregistered.
The synchronize_sched() is needed between the unregistering of the
system call tracepoint and a deletion of a tracing instance buffer.
But placing the synchronize_sched() in the unreg of *every* system
call tracepoint is a bit overboard. A single synchronize_sched()
before the deletion of the instance is sufficient"
* tag 'trace-fixes-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Only run synchronize_sched() at instance deletion time
|
|
It has been reported that boot up with FTRACE_SELFTEST enabled can take a
very long time. There can be stalls of over a minute.
This was tracked down to the synchronize_sched() called when a system call
event is disabled. As the self tests enable and disable thousands of events,
this makes the synchronize_sched() get called thousands of times.
The synchornize_sched() was added with d562aff93bfb53 "tracing: Add support
for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events" which caused this regression (added
in 3.13-rc1).
The synchronize_sched() is to protect against the events being accessed
when a tracer instance is being deleted. When an instance is being deleted
all the events associated to it are unregistered. The synchronize_sched()
makes sure that no more users are running when it finishes.
Instead of calling synchronize_sched() for all syscall events, we only
need to call it once, after the events are unregistered and before the
instance is deleted. The event_mutex is held during this action to
prevent new users from enabling events.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"This contains one important fix. The NUMA support added a while back
broke ordering guarantees on ordered workqueues. It was enforced by
having single frontend interface with @max_active == 1 but the NUMA
support puts multiple interfaces on unbound workqueues on NUMA
machines thus breaking the ordered guarantee. This is fixed by
disabling NUMA support on ordered workqueues.
The above and a couple other patches were sitting in for-3.12-fixes
but I forgot to push that out, so they ended up waiting a bit too
long. My aplogies.
Other fixes are minor"

lockdep
- Memory leak under certain conditions"

If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the
command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware
support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens
because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case.
Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.

If a cgroup file implements either read_map() or read_seq_string(),
such file is served using seq_file by overriding file->f_op to
cgroup_seqfile_operations, which also overrides the release method to
single_release() from cgroup_file_release().
Because cgroup_file_open() didn't use to acquire any resources, this
used to be fine, but since f7d58818ba42 ("cgroup: pin
cgroup_subsys_state when opening a cgroupfs file"), cgroup_file_open()
pins the css (cgroup_subsys_state) which is put by
cgroup_file_release(). The patch forgot to update the release path
for seq_files and each open/release cycle leaks a css reference.
Fix it by updating cgroup_file_release() to also handle seq_files and
using it for seq_file release path too.

Which reports that we take mems_allowed_seq with interrupts enabled. A
little digging found that this can only be from
cpuset_change_task_nodemask().
This is an actual deadlock because an interrupt doing an allocation will
hit get_mems_allowed()->...->__read_seqcount_begin(), which will spin
forever waiting for the write side to complete.
