2012-10-09mm: use mm->exe_file instead of first VM_EXECUTABLE vma->vm_fileKonstantin Khlebnikov
Some security modules and oprofile still uses VM_EXECUTABLE for retrieving a task's executable file. After this patch they will use mm->exe_file directly. mm->exe_file is protected with mm->mmap_sem, so locking stays the same.

2012-10-09CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and ↵Srivatsa S. Bhat
put_online_cpus() The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock. get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus() decrements it. If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer. So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can continue to run. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-10-08rcu: Grace-period initialization excludes only RCU notifierPaul E. McKenney
Kirill noted the following deadlock cycle on shutdown involving padata: > With commit 755609a9087fa983f567dc5452b2fa7b089b591f I've got deadlock on > poweroff. > > It guess it happens because of race for cpu_hotplug.lock: > > CPU A CPU B > disable_nonboot_cpus() > _cpu_down() > cpu_hotplug_begin() > mutex_lock(&cpu_hotplug.lock); > __cpu_notify() > padata_cpu_callback() > __padata_remove_cpu() > padata_replace() > synchronize_rcu() > rcu_gp_kthread() > get_online_cpus(); > mutex_lock(&cpu_hotplug.lock); It would of course be good to eliminate grace-period delays from CPU-hotplug notifiers, but that is a separate issue. Deadlock is not an appropriate diagnostic for excessive CPU-hotplug latency. Fortunately, grace-period initialization does not actually need to exclude all of the CPU-hotplug operation, but rather only RCU's own CPU_UP_PREPARE and CPU_DEAD CPU-hotplug notifiers. This commit therefore introduces a new per-rcu_state onoff_mutex that provides the required concurrency control in place of the get_online_cpus() that was previously in rcu_gp_init().

2012-10-06kernel/resource.c: fix stack overflow in __reserve_region_with_split()T Makphaibulchoke
Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in __reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case that the recursive calls are too deep. Convert the recursive calls to an iterative loop to avoid the problem. Tested on a machine containing 135 regions. The kernel no longer panicked with stack overflow. Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict, embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive conflicts.

2012-10-06poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()hongfeng
orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps: step 1: Call user space application to poweroff step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param is set. The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey the design goal of orderly_poweroff. We have two choices here: UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process; UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete. we need to trade off the two choices: If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E. Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely) reason fail. If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W. Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for us when we are waiting for the user space caller. Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it seems a better choice here.

2012-10-06kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()Shawn Guo
As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). Doing so can help machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to survive with kernel restart. This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad). The machine requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than secondary ones. Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

2012-10-05nohz: Fix one jiffy count too far in idle cputimeFrederic Weisbecker
When we stop the tick in idle, we save the current jiffies value in ts->idle_jiffies. This snapshot is substracted from the later value of jiffies when the tick is restarted and the resulting delta is accounted as idle cputime. This is how we handle the idle cputime accounting without the tick. But sometimes we need to schedule the next tick to some time in the future instead of completely stopping it. In this case, a tick may happen before we restart the periodic behaviour and from that tick we account one jiffy to idle cputime as usual but we also increment the ts->idle_jiffies snapshot by one so that when we compute the delta to account, we substract the one jiffy we just accounted. To prepare for stopping the tick outside idle, we introduced a check that prevents from fixing up that ts->idle_jiffies if we are not running the idle task. But we use idle_cpu() for that and this is a problem if we run the tick while another CPU remotely enqueues a ttwu to our runqueue: CPU 0: CPU 1: tick_sched_timer() { ttwu_queue_remote() if (idle_cpu(CPU 0)) ts->idle_jiffies++; } Here, idle_cpu() notes that &rq->wake_list is not empty and hence won't consider the CPU as idle. As a result, ts->idle_jiffies won't be incremented. But this is wrong because we actually account the current jiffy to idle cputime. And that jiffy won't get substracted from the nohz time delta. So in the end, this jiffy is accounted twice. Fix this by changing idle_cpu(smp_processor_id()) with is_idle_task(current). This way the jiffy is substracted correctly even if a ttwu operation is enqueued on the CPU.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

This series came late in v3.6 and I did not feel confident about it so late in the cycle.

2012-10-01sanitize tsk_is_polling()Al Viro
Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-09-28ftrace: Allow stealing pages from pipe bufferMasami Hiramatsu
Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer. Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the splice_write side operation without affinity setting. Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute splice write side operation on the same node. In this case, the page will be accessed from the another node. Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing thread to corresponding node.

2012-09-28module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing.Rusty Russell
The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the .ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module. Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems. module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now. It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module if the first one failed to initialize for some reason). It's also consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading. Suggested-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@profusion.mobi> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-09-28module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before initRusty Russell
We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing the symbol is still loading. However: 1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init function, but there are other failure paths after the module is placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing. 2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all modules, so we need to wake them all. 3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after the state assignment.

2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

Cloudlinux have a product called lve that includes a kernel module.
