2011-03-21Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal codeJulien Tinnes
Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL. Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values. Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag. So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out there that might depend on using other si_code values.

2011-03-17smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of maskMilton Miller
Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s) while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to clear the last ref and unlock the block. Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to complete an rcu window. Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just detect the race and handle it. Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed to be called.

2011-03-17call_function_many: add missing orderingMilton Miller
Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the 2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code. First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present but was not). Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would require a full smp_mb(). However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the list). I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

2011-03-17call_function_many: fix list delete vs add raceMilton Miller
Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in smp_call_function_many. Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list. Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional one. I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

2011-03-15PM / Hibernate: Reduce autotuned default image sizeRafael J. Wysocki
The hibernate image size autotuning mechanism sets the default image size to 5/2 of the total system RAM, but it is reported that on some systems device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory during suspend and the creation of the image fails as a result (too little memory is preallocated). Modify the autotuning mechanism to use 1/3 instead of 2/5 of RAM as the default image size, which is reported to be sufficient for the affected systems.

2011-03-15PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PMRafael J. Wysocki
Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. The only way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and inefficient. Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary. For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of strcut syscore_ops objects.

2011-03-15PM QoS: Make pm_qos settings readableThomas Renninger
I have a machine where entering deep C-states broke. pm_qos was a hot candidate, but I couldn't find any way to double check without the need of recompiling. While in this case it was a driver bug (ath9k): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532 powertop or others may want to read out cpu_dma_latency restrictions which could be the cause of preventing a machine entering deeper C-states. Output with this patch: # default value of 2000 * USEC_PER_SEC (0x77359400) cat /dev/network_latency |hexdump 0000000 9400 7735 0000004 # value of 55 us which is the reason for not entering C2 cat /dev/cpu_dma_latency |hexdump 0000000 0037 0000 0000004 There is no reason to hide this info -> make pm_qos files readable.

2011-03-15PM: Drop pm_flags that is not necessaryRafael J. Wysocki
The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled along with ACPI, which would lead to problems. However, acpi_init() is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used. Namely, if acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means that ACPI is enabled. Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with ACPI. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
