From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>
This patch is based on the one from Thomas.
The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes
the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from
the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9)
uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool
doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates
it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one.
That's the preamble.
The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees
that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead
it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free
id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent
to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be)
in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then
the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy
and its socket will be bound to another id.
The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys,
that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It
will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be
got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg.
The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the
decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only.
Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the
kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid
as well.
A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later
be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use
pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still
uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in
the audit_filter_syscall.

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
after it wakes up some other task.
Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.
( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

Currently we schedule to the leftmost task in the runqueue. When the
runtimes are very short because of some server/client ping-pong,
especially in over-saturated workloads, this will cycle through all
tasks trashing the cache.
Reduce cache trashing by keeping dependent tasks together by running
newly woken tasks first. However, by not running the leftmost task first
we could starve tasks because the wakee can gain unlimited runtime.
Therefore we only run the wakee if its within a small
(wakeup_granularity) window of the leftmost task. This preserves
fairness, but does alternate server/client task groups.

Current min_vruntime tracking is incorrect and will cause serious
problems when we don't run the leftmost task for some reason.
min_vruntime does two things; 1) it's used to determine a forward
direction when the u64 vruntime wraps, 2) it's used to track the
leftmost vruntime to position newly enqueued tasks from.
The current logic advances min_vruntime whenever the current task's
vruntime advance. Because the current task may pass the leftmost task
still waiting we're failing the second goal. This causes new tasks to be
placed too far ahead and thus penalizes their runtime.
Fix this by making min_vruntime the min_vruntime of the waiting tasks by
tracking it in enqueue/dequeue, and compare against current's vruntime
to obtain the absolute minimum when placing new tasks.

Fix a hard to trigger crash seen in the -rt kernel that also affects
the vanilla scheduler.
There is a race condition between schedule() and some dequeue/enqueue
functions; rt_mutex_setprio(), __setscheduler() and sched_move_task().
When scheduling to idle, idle_balance() is called to pull tasks from
other busy processor. It might drop the rq lock. It means that those 3
functions encounter on_rq=0 and running=1. The current task should be
put when running.
Here is a possible scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
| schedule()
| ->deactivate_task()
| ->idle_balance()
| -->load_balance_newidle()
rt_mutex_setprio() |
| --->double_lock_balance()
*get lock *rel lock
* on_rq=0, ruuning=1 |
* sched_class is changed |
*rel lock *get lock
: |
:
->put_prev_task_rt()
->pick_next_task_fair()
=> panic
The current process of CPU1(P1) is scheduling. Deactivated P1, and the
scheduler looks for another process on other CPU's runqueue because CPU1
will be idle. idle_balance(), load_balance_newidle() and
double_lock_balance() are called and double_lock_balance() could drop
the rq lock. On the other hand, CPU0 is trying to boost the priority of
P1. The result of boosting only P1's prio and sched_class are changed to
RT. The sched entities of P1 and P1's group are never put. It makes
cfs_rq invalid, because the cfs_rq has curr and no leaf, but
pick_next_task_fair() is called, then the kernel panics.

There is a problem in the hibernation code that triggers on some NUMA
systems on which pfn_valid() returns 'true' for some PFNs that don't
belong to any zone. Namely, there is a BUG_ON() in
memory_bm_find_bit() that triggers for PFNs not belonging to any
zone and passing the pfn_valid() test. On the affected systems it
triggers when we mark PFNs reported by the platform as not saveable,
because the PFNs in question belong to a region mapped directly using
iorepam() (i.e. the ACPI data area) and they pass the pfn_valid()
test.
Modify memory_bm_find_bit() so that it returns an error if given PFN
doesn't belong to any zone instead of crashing the kernel and ignore
the result returned by it in mark_nosave_pages(), while marking the
"nosave" memory regions.
This doesn't affect the hibernation functionality, as we won't touch
the PFNs in question anyway.

It is possible to allow the root-domain cache of online cpus to
become out of sync with the global cpu_online_map. This is because we
currently trigger removal of cpus too early in the notifier chain.
Other DOWN_PREPARE handlers may in fact run and reconfigure the
root-domain topology, thereby stomping on our own offline handling.
The end result is that rd->online may become out of sync with
cpu_online_map, which results in potential task misrouting.
So change the offline handling to be more tightly coupled with the
global offline process by triggering on CPU_DYING intead of
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.
This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem

The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18ac2http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405
While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.
The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61ddhttp://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).
This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.
This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.
For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674
this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.
There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.
In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small
window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock
for the runqueue that the task is on.
This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch
adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling
resched_task.

commit 6b2d770026
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups
Namely:
- very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
- cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
- some latencies larger than 500ms
While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).
Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.
As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume
from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
(including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this
doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.
Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
should do this only when the whole process exits.
2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
Use ->group_leader instead.
Test case:
void hup(int sig)
{
printf("HUP received\n");
}
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(2);
printf("sub-thread exited\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (!fork()) {
signal(SIGHUP, hup);
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
exit(0);
}
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
sleep(1);
printf("main thread exited\n");
syscall(__NR_exit, 0);
return 0;
}
output:
main thread exited
HUP received

With this patch the output is:

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.
Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.
As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.
Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.
Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

Hi,
While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE
(end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog.
Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit
daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.
This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.
The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that
the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the
value accessed have completed. Even though this code is currently only
invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some
other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (CONDITION)
return;
schedule();
is racy wrt another CPU doing
CONDITION = 1;
wake_up_process(p);
because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.
Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.
However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).
This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.
Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.
Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.
Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.
Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.
On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.
On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.
The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the
help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices'
->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4
system sleep state.
But at least for some devices the operations performed by the
->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations
during regular suspend.
For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and
pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase
of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as
appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a
special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way.
These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related
to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488).

The default_disable() function was changed in commit:
76d2160147
genirq: do not mask interrupts by default
It removed the mask function in favour of the default delayed
interrupt disabling. Unfortunately this also broke the shutdown in
free_irq() when the last handler is removed from the interrupt for
those architectures which rely on the default implementations. Now we
can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on

- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a

- it reduces the overall code size:

Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't
hold hugetlb_lock over the call. Use a dummy variable to store the sysctl
result, like in hugetlb_sysctl_handler(), then grab the lock to update
nr_overcommit_huge_pages.

fastcall always expands to empty, remove it.
