Stephen Smalley 006ebb40d3 Security: split proc ptrace checking into read vs. attach
Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested.  This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access.  The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.

Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target.  The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.

In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label.  This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit).  At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).

This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).

Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0).  I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

Dmitry Adamushko 3e84050c81 cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage
Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:

Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,

  update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)

does the following:

/*
 * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
 * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
 * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
 * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
 */

The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.

With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:

cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()

Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.

__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).

try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

Steven Rostedt c300ba2528 sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
The sched_clock code currently tries to keep all CPU clocks of all CPUS
somewhat in sync. At every clock tick it records the gtod clock and
uses that and jiffies and the TSC to calculate a CPU clock that tries to
stay in sync with all the other CPUs.

ftrace depends heavily on this timer and it detects when this timer
"jumps".  One problem is that the TSC and the gtod also drift.
When the TSC is 0.1% faster or slower than the gtod it is very noticeable
in ftrace. To help compensate for this, I've added a multiplier that
tries to keep the CPU clock updating at the same rate as the gtod.

I've tried various ways to get it to be in sync and this ended up being
the most reliable. At every scheduler tick we calculate the new multiplier:

  multi = delta_gtod / delta_TSC

This means we perform a 64 bit divide at the tick (once a HZ). A shift
is used to handle the accuracy.

Other methods that failed due to dynamic HZ are:

(not used)  multi += (gtod - tsc) / delta_gtod
(not used)  multi += (gtod - (last_tsc + delta_tsc)) / delta_gtod

as well as other variants.

This code still allows for a slight drift between TSC and gtod, but
it keeps the damage down to a minimum.

Steven Rostedt a83bc47c33 sched_clock: record TSC after gtod
To read the gtod we need to grab the xtime lock for read. Reading the gtod
before the TSC can cause a bigger gab if the xtime lock is contended.

This patch simply reverses the order to read the TSC after the gtod.
The locking in the reading of the gtod handles any barriers one might
think is needed.

Steven Rostedt c0c87734f1 sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads.
Reading the CPU clock should try to stay accurate within the CPU.
By reading the CPU clock from another CPU and updating the deltas can
cause unneeded jumps when reading from the local CPU.

This patch changes the code to update the last read TSC only when read

Steven Rostedt 2b8a0cf489 sched_clock: fix calculation of other CPU
The algorithm to calculate the 'now' of another CPU is not correct.
At each scheduler tick, each CPU records the last sched_clock and
gtod (tick_raw and tick_gtod respectively). If the TSC is somewhat the
same in speed between two clocks the algorithm would be:

  tick_gtod1 + (now1 - tick_raw1) = tick_gtod2 + (now2 - tick_raw2)

To calculate now2 we would have:

  now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw2 - tick_raw1) + now1

Currently the algorithm is:

  now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw1 - tick_raw2) + now1

This solves most of the rest of the issues I've had with timestamps in
ftace.

Steven Rostedt af52a90a14 sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ
Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with
the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also
caused the irqoff self tests to fail.

What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and
before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad
delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.

The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.
On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies
(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have
correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the
jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving
forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.

The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then
the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind
since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock
forward by several jiffies.

This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off
latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.

This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the
maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check
when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

Steven Rostedt f7cce27f56 sched_clock: widen the max and min time
With keeping the max and min sched time within one jiffy of the gtod clock
was too tight. Just before a schedule tick the max could easily be hit, as
well as just after a schedule_tick the min could be hit. This caused the
clock to jump around by a jiffy.

This patch widens the minimum to
   last gtod + (delta_jiffies ? delta_jiffies - 1 : 0) * TICK_NSECS

and the maximum to
    last gtod + (2 + delta_jiffies) * TICK_NSECS

This keeps the minum to gtod or if one jiffy less than delta jiffies
and the maxim 2 jiffies ahead of gtod. This may cause unstable TSCs to be
a bit more sporadic, but it helps keep a clock with a stable TSC working well.

Steven Rostedt 62c43dd986 sched_clock: record from last tick
The sched_clock code tries to keep within the gtod time by one tick (jiffy).
The current code mistakenly keeps track of the delta jiffies between
updates of the clock, where the the delta is used to compare with the
number of jiffies that have past since an update of the gtod. The gtod is
updated at each schedule tick not each sched_clock update. After one
jiffy passes the clock is updated fine. But the delta is taken from the
last update so if the next update happens before the next tick the delta
jiffies used will be incorrect.

This patch changes the code to check the delta of jiffies between ticks
and not updates to match the comparison of the updates with the gtod.

Steven Rostedt 007c05d4d2 ftrace: move sched_switch enable after markers
We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:

# tracer: sched_switch
#
#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |      |          |         |
       trace-cmd-3973  [00]   115.834817:   3973:120:R   +     3:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [01]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     6:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [03]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +    12:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
          <idle>-0     [02]   115.834910:      0:140:R ==>  3973:120:R

Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.

Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:

# tracer: sched_switch

Heiko Carstens 857f3fd7a4 nohz: don't stop idle tick if softirqs are pending.
In case a cpu goes idle but softirqs are pending only an error message is
printed to the console. It may take a very long time until the pending
softirqs will finally be executed. Worst case would be a hanging system.

With this patch the timer tick just continues and the softirqs will be
executed after the next interrupt. Still a delay but better than a
hanging system.

Currently we have at least two device drivers on s390 which under certain
circumstances schedule a tasklet from process context. This is a reason
why we can end up with pending softirqs when going idle. Fixing these
drivers seems to be non-trivial.
However there is no question that the drivers should be fixed.
This patch shouldn't be considered as a bug fix. It just is intended to
keep a system running even if device drivers are buggy.
