2008-12-23ring-buffer: prevent false positive warningSteven Rostedt
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page, the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page. Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed the commit page forward as stated above. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

2008-12-23ring-buffer: fix dangling commit raceSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data. This will cause the commit pointer to cease from moving forward. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

2008-12-20Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()Thomas Gleixner
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

2008-12-20x86, bts: add fork and exit handlingMarkus Metzger
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do that when the traced task dies.

2008-12-18trace: fix task state printoutThomas Gleixner
Impact: fix occasionally incorrect trace output The tracing code has interesting varieties of printing out task state. Unfortunalely only one of the instances is correct as it copies the code from sched.c:sched_show_task(). The others are plain wrong as they treatthe bitfield as an integer offset into the character array. Also the size check of the character array is wrong as it includes the trailing \0.

2008-12-18ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functionsSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement Ingo Molnar has asked about a way to remove items from the filter lists. Currently, you can only add or replace items. The way items are added to the list is through opening one of the list files (set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace) via append. If the file is opened for truncate, the list is cleared. echo spin_lock > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will replace the list with only spin_lock echo spin_lock >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will add spin_lock to the list. Now this patch adds: echo '!spin_lock' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove spin_lock from the list. The limited glob features of these lists also can be notted. echo '!spin_*' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove all functions that start with 'spin_' Note: echo '!spin_*' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter will simply clear out the list (notice the '>' instead of '>>') Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-18trace: add a way to enable or disable the stack tracerSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement to stack tracer The stack tracer currently is either on when configured in or off when it is not. It can not be disabled when it is configured on. (besides disabling the function tracer that it uses) This patch adds a way to enable or disable the stack tracer at run time. It defaults off on bootup, but a kernel parameter 'stacktrace' has been added to enable it on bootup. A new sysctl has been added "kernel.stack_tracer_enabled" to let the user enable or disable the stack tracer at run time.

2008-12-15cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remountPaul Menage
When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list, but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented). Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being removed-but-not-freed cgroup. The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This bug can be reproduced via: mkdir /mnt/cg mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg mkdir /mnt/cg/foo sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo & rmdir /mnt/cg/foo mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg kill $! Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops) Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-12-10fix mapping_writably_mapped()Hugh Dickins
Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped test in 2.6.7! Bad bad bug, good good find. The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock) when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out. So the count was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped. The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED (but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail. But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it, may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily. Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

2008-12-10KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixesHugh Dickins
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() - kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was beyond the end of page provided. The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before. Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies them.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: append the tracing_graph_flagFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it. It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter ↵Frederic Weisbecker
special functions Impact: trace more functions When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the normal function tracer too. arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c: I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie: "write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store the original return address of the function inside current, we had crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: implement a print_headers functionFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide trace headers to explain a bit the output This patch implements the print_headers callback for the function graph tracer. These headers are output according to the current trace options.

2008-12-08user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSERSerge E. Hallyn
While ideally CLONE_NEWUSER will eventually require no privilege, the required permission checks are currently not there. As a result, CLONE_NEWUSER has the same effect as a setuid(0)+setgroups(1,"0"). While we already require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, requiring CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID seems appropriate. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2008-12-08user namespaces: let user_ns be cloned with fairschedSerge E. Hallyn
(These two patches are in the next-unacked branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/userns-2.6. If they get some ACKs, then I hope to feed this into security-next. After these two, I think we're ready to tackle userns+capabilities) Fairsched creates a per-uid directory under /sys/kernel/uids/. So when you clone(CLONE_NEWUSER), it tries to create /sys/kernel/uids/0, which already exists, and you get back -ENOMEM. This was supposed to be fixed by sysfs tagging, but that was postponed (ok, rejected until sysfs locking is fixed). So, just as with network namespaces, we just don't create those directories for user namespaces other than the init. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2008-12-05ftrace: use init_struct_pid as swapper pidSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Using (struct pid *)-1 as the pointer for ftrace_swapper_pid is a little confusing for others. This patch uses the address of the actual init pid structure instead. This change is only for clarity. It does not affect the code itself. Hopefully soon the swapper tasks will all have their own pid structure and then we can clean up the code a bit more.

2008-12-05tracing/ftrace: fix the check of ftrace_trace_taskFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix default empty traces on function-graph-tracer The actual ftrace_trace_task() checks if ftrace_pid_trace is allocated and return 1 if it is true. If it is NULL, it will check the bit of pid tracing flag for the current task (which are not set by default). So by default, a task is not traced. Actually all tasks should be traced by default and filter_by_pid when ftrace_pid_trace is allocated. The appropriate condition should be to return 1 if filter_by_pid is set.

2008-12-05tracing/ftrace: don't insert TRACE_PRINT during selftestsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix tracer selfstests false results After setting a ftrace_printk somewhere in th kernel, I saw the Function tracer selftest failing. When a selftest occurs, the ring buffer is lurked to see if some entries were inserted. But concurrent insertion such as ftrace_printk could occured at the same time and could give false positive or negative results. This patch prevent prevent from TRACE_PRINT entries insertion during selftests.
