git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled. Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (38 commits) proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors. proc: Fix the namespace inode permission checks. proc: Generalize proc inode allocation userns: Allow unprivilged mounts of proc and sysfs userns: For /proc/self/{uid,gid}_map derive the lower userns from the struct file procfs: Print task uids and gids in the userns that opened the proc file userns: Implement unshare of the user namespace userns: Implent proc namespace operations userns: Kill task_user_ns userns: Make create_new_namespaces take a user_ns parameter userns: Allow unprivileged use of setns. userns: Allow unprivileged users to create new namespaces userns: Allow setting a userns mapping to your current uid. userns: Allow chown and setgid preservation userns: Allow unprivileged users to create user namespaces. userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mapped userns: fix return value on mntns_install() failure vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace. vfs: Only support slave subtrees across different user namespaces vfs: Add a user namespace reference from struct mnt_namespace ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on making cgroup hierarchy handling saner. - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir() path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg changes on top. - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to improve hierarchy support. - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant cgroups are frozen. - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy properly. - Various fixes and cleanups. - Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be stacked on top."

2012-11-19pidns: Use task_active_pid_ns where appropriateEric W. Biederman
The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of cache line misses with the practical difference that ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life. Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace. So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can. In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2012-11-16uprobes: Use percpu_rw_semaphore to fix register/unregister vs dup_mmap() raceOleg Nesterov
This was always racy, but 268720903f87e0b84b161626c4447b81671b5d18 "uprobes: Rework register_for_each_vma() to make it O(n)" should be blamed anyway, it made everything worse and I didn't notice. register/unregister call build_map_info() and then do install/remove breakpoint for every mm which mmaps inode/offset. This can obviously race with fork()->dup_mmap() in between and we can miss the child. uprobe_register() could be easily fixed but unregister is much worse, the new mm inherits "int3" from parent and there is no way to detect this if uprobe goes away. So this patch simply adds percpu_down_read/up_read around dup_mmap(), and percpu_down_write/up_write into register_for_each_vma(). This adds 2 new hooks into dup_mmap() but we can kill uprobe_dup_mmap() and fold it into uprobe_end_dup_mmap().

2012-11-03uprobes/powerpc: Do not use arch_uprobe_*_step() helpersOleg Nesterov
No functional changes. powerpc is the only user of arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() helpers, but they should die. They can not be used correctly, every arch needs its own implementation (like x86 does). And they do not really help even as initial-and-almost-working code, arch_uprobe_*_xol() hooks can easily use user_enable/disable_single_step() directly. Change arch_uprobe_*_step() to do nothing, and convert powerpc to use ptrace helpers. This is equally wrong, powerpc needs the arch-specific fixes.

2012-10-30perf, powerpc: Fix hw breakpoints returning -ENOSPCMichael Neuling
I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work on POWER7 but I'm getting the following: % perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? true: Terminated (FWIW adding -a and it works fine) Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this CPU. I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1]. The first syscall succeeds but the second is failing. On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU. This is because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC. The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned. I'm not familiar with this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

2012-10-09mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and ↵Haggai Eran
invalidate_range_end In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock. In addition to its direct calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte. This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end calls. Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise they might miss a later invalidation.

2012-10-09mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval treeMichel Lespinasse
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

2012-10-09mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counterKonstantin Khlebnikov
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA, currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects: | effect | alternative flags -+------------------------+--------------------------------------------- 1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO 2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP 3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP 4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only reduces total_vm showed in proc.

2012-10-07uprobes: Fix the racy uprobe->flags manipulationOleg Nesterov
Multiple threads can manipulate uprobe->flags, this is obviously unsafe. For example mmap can set UPROBE_COPY_INSN while register tries to set UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER, the latter can also race with can_skip_sstep() which clears UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP.

2012-10-07uprobes: Fix prepare_uprobe() race with itselfOleg Nesterov
install_breakpoint() is called under mm->mmap_sem, this protects set_swbp() but not prepare_uprobe(). Two or more different tasks can call install_breakpoint()->prepare_uprobe() at the same time, this leads to numerous problems if UPROBE_COPY_INSN is not set. Just for example, the second copy_insn() can corrupt the already analyzed/fixuped uprobe->arch.insn and race with handle_swbp(). This patch simply adds uprobe->copy_mutex to serialize this code. We could probably reuse ->consumer_rwsem, but this would mean that consumer->handler() can not use mm->mmap_sem, not good. Note: this is another temporary ugly hack until we move this logic into uprobe_register(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-10-07uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() raceOleg Nesterov
Strictly speaking this race was added by me in 56bb4cf6. However I think that this bug is just another indication that we should move copy_insn/uprobe_analyze_insn code from install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register(), there are a lot of other reasons for that. Until then, add a hack to close the race. A task can hit uprobe U1, but before it calls find_uprobe() this uprobe can be unregistered *AND* another uprobe U2 can be added to uprobes_tree at the same inode/offset. In this case handle_swbp() will use the not-fully-initialized U2, in particular its arch.insn for xol. Add the additional !UPROBE_COPY_INSN check into handle_swbp(), if this flag is not set we simply restart as if the new uprobe was not inserted yet. This is not very nice, we need barriers, but we will remove this hack when we change uprobe_register(). Note: with or without this patch install_breakpoint() can race with itself, yet another reson to kill UPROBE_COPY_INSN altogether. And even the usage of uprobe->flags is not safe.

2012-10-07uprobes: Do not delete uprobe if uprobe_unregister() failsOleg Nesterov
delete_uprobe() must not be called if register_for_each_vma(false) fails to remove all breakpoints, __uprobe_unregister() is correct. The problem is that register_for_each_vma(false) always returns 0 and thus this logic does not work. 1. Change verify_opcode() to return 0 rather than -EINVAL when unregister detects the !is_swbp insn, we can treat this case as success and currently unregister paths ignore the error code anyway. 2. Change remove_breakpoint() to propagate the error code from write_opcode(). 3. Change register_for_each_vma(is_register => false) to remove as much breakpoints as possible but return non-zero if remove_breakpoint() fails at least once.

A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts.

Higher level changes: - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov. - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from Irina Tirdea - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function entry. The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng. - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots of needless calls to libtraceevent. - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from Feng Tang - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from Feng Tang. Infrastructure enhancements and fixes: - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc. Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'. - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more readily caught. - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix from Eric Sandeen. - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in 'report', from Feng Tang. - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee. - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim. - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim. - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim. - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim. - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the 'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools. - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines, from David Ahern - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK browser, From Namhyung Kim - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter. - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa. - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep, fix from Jiri Olsa. - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim. - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim. - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it works in C++, from Steven Rostedt - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf exit routine can take place, from David Ahern - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern. - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments, from Maciek Borzecki - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes successfully. - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David Ahern - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung Kim - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set already, fix from Namhyung Kim - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter. - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility, from Namhyung Kim - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd line, from Robert Richter - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben Hutchings - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang. - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim. - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa. - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody Schafer. - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert Richter - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event repeatedly when processing tracepoint events. [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so far parsing the common and per event fields. ] - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix from Namhyung Kim. - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus Trippelsdorf. - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present, from Jiri Olsa" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (282 commits) perf trace: Add aliases for some syscalls perf probe: Print an enum type variable in "enum variable-name" format when showing accessible variables perf tools: Check libaudit availability for perf-trace builtin perf hists: Add missing period_* fields when collapsing a hist entry perf trace: New tool perf evsel: Export the event_format constructor perf evsel: Introduce rawptr() method perf tools: Use perf_evsel__newtp in the event parser perf evsel: The tracepoint constructor should store sys:name perf evlist: Introduce set_filter() method perf evlist: Renane set_filters method to apply_filters perf test: Add test to check we correctly parse and match syscall open parms perf evsel: Handle endianity in intval method perf evsel: Know if byte swap is needed perf tools: Allow handling a NULL cpu_map as meaning "all cpus" perf evsel: Improve tracepoint constructor setup tools lib traceevent: Fix error path on pevent_parse_event perf test: Fix build failure trace: Move trace event enable from fs_initcall to core_initcall tracing: Add an option for disabling markers ...
2012-09-29uprobes: Simplify is_swbp_at_addr(), remove stale commentsOleg Nesterov

2012-09-29uprobes: Kill set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr()Oleg Nesterov
Unlike set_swbp(), set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() makes sense, although it can't prevent all confusions. But the usage of is_swbp_at_addr() is equally confusing, and it adds the extra get_user_pages() we can avoid. This patch removes set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() but changes write_opcode() to do the necessary checks before replace_page(). Perhaps it also makes sense to ensure PAGE_MAPPING_ANON in unregister case. find_active_uprobe() becomes the only user of is_swbp_at_addr(), we can change its semantics.

2012-09-29uprobes: Introduce copy_opcode(), kill read_opcode()Oleg Nesterov
No functional changes, preparations. 1. Extract the kmap-and-memcpy code from read_opcode() into the new trivial helper, copy_opcode(). The next patch will add another user. 2. read_opcode() becomes really trivial, fold it into its single caller, is_swbp_at_addr(). 3. Remove "auprobe" argument from write_opcode(), it is not used since f403072c6. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-09-29uprobes: Kill set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr()Oleg Nesterov
A separate patch for better documentation. set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr() is not needed for correctness, it is harmless to do the unnecessary __replace_page(old_page, new_page) when these 2 pages are identical. And it can not be counted as optimization. mmap/register races are very unlikely, while in the likely case is_swbp_at_addr() adds the extra get_user_pages() even if the caller is uprobe_mmap(current->mm) and returns false. Note also that the semantics/usage of is_swbp_at_addr() in uprobe.c is confusing. set_swbp() uses it to detect the case when this insn was already modified by uprobes, that is why it should always compare the opcode with UPROBE_SWBP_INSN even if the hardware (like powerpc) has other trap insns. It doesn't matter if this breakpoint was in fact installed by gdb or application itself, we are going to "steal" this breakpoint anyway and execute the original insn from vm_file even if it no longer matches the memory. OTOH, handle_swbp()->find_active_uprobe() uses is_swbp_at_addr() to figure out whether we need to send SIGTRAP or not if we can not find uprobe, so in this case it should return true for all trap variants, not only for UPROBE_SWBP_INSN. This patch removes set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr(), the next patches will remove it from set_orig_insn() which is similar to set_swbp() in this respect. So the only caller will be handle_swbp() and we can make its semantics clear. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-09-29uprobes: Restrict valid_vma(false) to skip VM_SHARED vmasOleg Nesterov
valid_vma(false) ignores ->vm_flags, this is not actually right. We should never try to write into MAP_SHARED mapping, this can confuse an apllication which actually writes to ->vm_file. With this patch valid_vma(false) ignores VM_WRITE only but checks other (immutable) bits checked by valid_vma(true). This can also speedup uprobe_munmap() and uprobe_unregister(). Note: even after this patch _unregister can confuse the probed application if it does mprotect(PROT_WRITE) after _register and installs "int3", but this is hardly possible to avoid and this doesn't differ from gdb case.

2012-09-29uprobes: Change valid_vma() to demand VM_MAYEXEC rather than VM_EXECOleg Nesterov
uprobe_register() or uprobe_mmap() requires VM_READ | VM_EXEC, this is not right. An apllication can do mprotect(PROT_EXEC) later and execute this code. Change valid_vma(is_register => true) to check VM_MAYEXEC instead. No need to check VM_MAYREAD, it is always set.

2012-09-29uprobes: Change write_opcode() to use FOLL_FORCEOleg Nesterov
write_opcode()->get_user_pages() needs FOLL_FORCE to ensure we can read the page even if the probed task did mprotect(PROT_NONE) after uprobe_register(). Without FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_FORCE doesn't have any side effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory. Otherwiese the subsequent uprobe_unregister()->set_orig_insn() fails and we leak "int3". If that task does mprotect(PROT_READ | EXEC) and execute the probed insn later it will be killed. Note: in fact this is also needed for _register, see the next patch.

2012-09-29uprobes: Kill UTASK_BP_HIT stateOleg Nesterov
Kill UTASK_BP_HIT state, it buys nothing but complicates the code. It is only used in uprobe_notify_resume() to decide who should be called, we can check utask->active_uprobe != NULL instead. And this allows us to simplify handle_swbp(), no need to clear utask->state. Likewise we could kill UTASK_SSTEP, but UTASK_BP_HIT is worse and imho should die. The problem is, it creates the special case when task->utask is NULL, we can't distinguish RUNNING and BP_HIT. With this patch utask == NULL always means RUNNING.

2012-09-29uprobes: Fix UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP checks in handle_swbp()Oleg Nesterov
If handle_swbp()->add_utask() fails but UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP is set, cleanup_ret: path do not restart the insn, this is wrong. Remove this check and add the additional label for can_skip_sstep() = T case. Note also that UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP can be false positive, we simply can not trust it unless arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() was already called. Also, move another UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP check before can_skip_sstep() into this helper, this looks more clean and understandable. Note: probably we should rename "skip" to "emulate" and I think that "clear UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP" should be moved to arch_can_skip.

2012-09-29uprobes: Do not setup ->active_uprobe/state prematurelyOleg Nesterov
handle_swbp() sets utask->active_uprobe before handler_chain(), and UTASK_SSTEP before pre_ssout(). This complicates the code for no reason, arch_ hooks or consumer->handler() should not (and can't) use this info. Change handle_swbp() to initialize them after pre_ssout(), and remove the no longer needed cleanup-utask code.

2012-09-15uprobes: Teach find_active_uprobe() to clear MMF_HAS_UPROBESOleg Nesterov
The wrong MMF_HAS_UPROBES doesn't really hurt, just it triggers the "slow" and unnecessary handle_swbp() path if the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint. So this patch changes find_active_uprobe() to check every valid vma and clear MMF_HAS_UPROBES if no uprobes were found. This is adds the slow O(n) path, but it is only called in unlikely case when the task hits the normal breakpoint first time after uprobe_unregister(). Note the "not strictly accurate" comment in mmf_recalc_uprobes(). We can fix this, we only need to teach vma_has_uprobes() to return a bit more more info, but I am not sure this worth the trouble.

Add the new MMF_RECALC_UPROBES flag, it means that MMF_HAS_UPROBES can be false positive after remove_breakpoint() or uprobe_munmap(). It is also set by uprobe_dup_mmap(), this is not optimal but simple. We could add the new hook, uprobe_dup_vma(), to set MMF_HAS_UPROBES only if the new mm actually has uprobes, but I don't think this makes sense.

2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups ↵Tejun Heo
are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

Deal with the race between the final reference to event going away and new children getting created for it by use of atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been created and immediately killed).
