Thomas Gleixner 179eb03268 alarmtimer: Drop device refcount after rtc_open()
class_find_device() takes a refcount on the rtc device. rtc_open()
takes another one, so we can drop it after the rtc_open() call.

Thomas Gleixner ce788f930b alarmtimer: Check return value of class_find_device()
alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm
capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in
the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init()
checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and
not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content
when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to
random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is
dereferenced

Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of
class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid
as well.

Thomas Gleixner 99ee5315da timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was set
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.

Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.

The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

Tejun Heo 5035b20fa5 workqueue: fix deadlock in worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()
If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each
other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel.  The CPU won't

while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one

and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.

This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is

Thomas Gleixner ce31332d3c hrtimer: Initialize CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE table statically
Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by
the following;

sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init()
_BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this
worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized
data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC])

Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more
then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base
lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used
for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is
initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the
scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME.

Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is
armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot
process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour
i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an
expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler
mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt
throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks
until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of
TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up.

Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to
the status of <= 2.6.39.

John Stultz 7068b7a162 timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementation
Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code,
and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base
lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with
the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes).

Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can
simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer
callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can
simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

Oleg Nesterov b182801ab3 signal: do_sigtimedwait() needs retarget_shared_pending()

We could use set_current_blocked() directly. It is fine to change

To keep the things simple this patch adds the new static helper,
__set_task_blocked() which should be called with ->siglock held. This

Oleg Nesterov e6fa16ab9c signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()
In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least
can lead to the unexpected results.

For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc.
kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask()
and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle
this pending shared signal.

I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should
not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up.

This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new
helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call
retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about
the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask.

We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is
cheap unless mask & shared_pending.

Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to
return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers
and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will
have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a
random example.

Jeff Mahoney e11feaa119 watchdog, hung_task_timeout: Add Kconfig configurable default
This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead,
so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though,
it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than
the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task
facility available but disabled at boot-time.

The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may
have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from
120 seconds to 480 seconds.

Tony Jones f562988350 audit: acquire creds selectively to reduce atomic op overhead
Commit c69e8d9c01 ("CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
release a task's own creds") added calls to get_task_cred and put_cred in
audit_filter_rules.  Profiling with a large number of audit rules active
on the exit chain shows that we are spending upto 48% in this routine for
syscall intensive tests, most of which is in the atomic ops.

1. The code should be accessing tsk->cred rather than tsk->real_cred.
2. Since tsk is current (or tsk is being created by copy_process) access to
tsk->cred without rcu read lock is possible.  At the request of the audit
maintainer, a new flag has been added to audit_filter_rules in order to make
this explicit and guide future code.

John Stultz 9a7adcf5c6 timers: Posix interface for alarm-timers
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.

Some background can be found here:
	https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).

The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).

One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.

There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

John Stultz ff3ead96d1 timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.

Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

John Stultz 304529b1b6 time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptime
Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.

The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.

This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.

The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

Frederic Weisbecker bf26c01849 ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints
When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.

Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

Paul Mundt 7f1b1244e1 genirq: Support per-IRQ thread disabling.
This adds support for disabling threading on a per-IRQ basis via the IRQ
status instead of the IRQ flow, which is necessary for interrupts that
don't follow the natural IRQ flow channels, such as those that are
virtually created.

The new APIs added are simply:

	irq_set_thread()
	irq_set_nothread()

which follow the rest of the IRQ status routines.

Chained handlers also have IRQ_NOTHREAD set on them automatically, making
the lack of threading explicit rather than implicit. Subsequently, the
nothread flag can be viewed through the standard genirq debugging
facilities.

Steven Rostedt dad3d7435e lockdep: Print a nicer description for irq inversion bugs
Irq inversion and irq dependency bugs are only subtly
different. The diffenerence lies where the interrupt occurred.

For irq dependency:

	irq_disable
	lock(A)
	lock(B)
	unlock(B)
	unlock(A)
	irq_enable

	lock(B)
	unlock(B)

 	<interrupt>
	  lock(A)

The interrupt comes in after it has been established that lock A
can be held when taking an irq unsafe lock. Lockdep detects the
problem when taking lock A in interrupt context.

With the irq_inversion the irq happens before it is established
and lockdep detects the problem with the taking of lock B:

 	<interrupt>
	  lock(A)

	irq_disable
	lock(A)
	lock(B)
	unlock(B)
	unlock(A)
	irq_enable

	lock(B)
	unlock(B)

Since the problem with the locking logic for both of these issues
is in actuality the same, they both should report the same scenario.
This patch implements that and prints this:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &rq->lock --> lockA --> lockC

 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

Steven Rostedt 3003eba313 lockdep: Print a nicer description for irq lock inversions
Locking order inversion due to interrupts is a subtle problem.

When an irq lockiinversion discovered by lockdep it currently
reports something like:

[ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]

... and then prints out the locks that are involved, as back traces.

Judging by lkml feedback developers were routinely confused by what
a HARDIRQ->safe to unsafe issue is all about, and sometimes even
blew it off as a bug in lockdep.

It is not obvious when lockdep prints this message about a lock that
is never taken in interrupt context.

After explaining the problems that lockdep is reporting, I
decided to add a description of the problem in visual form. Now
the following is shown:

A kernel booted with no_file_caps allows to install fscaps on a binary
but doesn't actually honor the fscaps when running the binary. Userspace
currently has no sane way to determine whether installing fscaps
actually has any effect. Since parsing /proc/cmdline is fragile this
patch exposes the current setting (1 or 0) via /sys/kernel/fscaps

Rafael J. Wysocki 19234c0819 PM: Add missing syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls
Device suspend/resume infrastructure is used not only by the suspend
and hibernate code in kernel/power, but also by APM, Xen and the
kexec jump feature.  However, commit 40dc166cb5
(PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM)
failed to add syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls to that
code, which generally leads to breakage when the features in question
are used.

To fix this problem, add the missing syscore_suspend() and
syscore_resume() calls to arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c, kernel/kexec.c
and drivers/xen/manage.c.

Since commit dce840a087 ("sched: Dynamically allocate sched_domain/

RCU instead of RCU-sched.

This means that we need to include rcu_read_lock() protection when we

Venkatesh Pallipadi 2f36825b17 sched: Next buddy hint on sleep and preempt path
When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at
the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all
runnable tasks.

But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups,
it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or
until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup
on each sleep after a short runtime.

This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with
multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case.

Example:

Two taskgroups with 2 threads each which are running for 2ms and
sleeping for 1ms. Looking at sched:sched_switch shows:

BEFORE: taskgroup_1 threads [5004, 5005], taskgroup_2 threads [5016, 5017]
      cpu-soaker-5004  [003]  3683.391089
      cpu-soaker-5016  [003]  3683.393106
      cpu-soaker-5005  [003]  3683.395119
      cpu-soaker-5017  [003]  3683.397130
      cpu-soaker-5004  [003]  3683.399143
      cpu-soaker-5016  [003]  3683.401155
      cpu-soaker-5005  [003]  3683.403168
      cpu-soaker-5017  [003]  3683.405170

AFTER: taskgroup_1 threads [21890, 21891], taskgroup_2 threads [21934, 21935]
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.895494
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.897506
      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.899520
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.901532
      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.903543
      cpu-soaker-21935 [003]   865.905546
      cpu-soaker-21891 [003]   865.907548
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.909560
      cpu-soaker-21891 [003]   865.911571
      cpu-soaker-21890 [003]   865.913582
      cpu-soaker-21891 [003]   865.915594
      cpu-soaker-21934 [003]   865.917606

Similar problem is there when there are multiple taskgroups and say a task A
preempts currently running task B of taskgroup_1. On schedule, pick_next_task
can pick an unrelated task on taskgroup_2. Here it would be better to give some
preference to task B on pick_next_task.

A simple (may be extreme case) benchmark I tried was tbench with 2 tbench
client processes with 2 threads each running on a single CPU. Avg throughput
across 5 50 sec runs was:

 BEFORE: 105.84 MB/sec
 AFTER:  112.42 MB/sec

Linus Torvalds c78193e9c7 next_pidmap: fix overflow condition
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.

So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT.  The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

Richard Cochran 1791f88143 posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.

For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.

This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.

or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

Jens Axboe a237c1c5bc block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.

So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

Peter Zijlstra e4a52bcb9a sched: Remove rq->lock from the first half of ttwu()
Currently ttwu() does two rq->lock acquisitions, once on the task's
old rq, holding it over the p->state fiddling and load-balance pass.
Then it drops the old rq->lock to acquire the new rq->lock.

By having serialized ttwu(), p->sched_class, p->cpus_allowed with
p->pi_lock, we can now drop the whole first rq->lock acquisition.

The p->pi_lock serializing concurrent ttwu() calls protects p->state,
which we will set to TASK_WAKING to bridge possible p->pi_lock to
rq->lock gaps and serialize set_task_cpu() calls against
task_rq_lock().

The p->pi_lock serialization of p->sched_class allows us to call
scheduling class methods without holding the rq->lock, and the
serialization of p->cpus_allowed allows us to do the load-balancing
bits without races.

Peter Zijlstra 0122ec5b02 sched: Add p->pi_lock to task_rq_lock()
In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding
p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to
stabilize task_rq().

This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have
__task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the
locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of
rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).

This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.

Rafael J. Wysocki 1f112cee07 PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS
Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose.  However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation.  Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.

To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it.  Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

simplification since we can now (like with other simplifications) rely
on the sched_domain tree instead of hard-coded knowledge.

One tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold
rcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient
since that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly
be solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more
robust).

A concequence of the above is that we can no longer print the
sched_domain debug stuff from cpu_attach_domain() since that might now
run with preemption disabled (due to classic RCU etc.) and
sched_domain_debug() does some GFP_KERNEL allocations.

Another thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not
RCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we
grew over the years BH doesn't necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace
periods (-rt is known to break this). This would in fact already cause
us grief since we do sched_domain/sched_group iterations from softirq
context.

This patch is somewhat larger than I would like it to be, but I didn't
find any means of shrinking/splitting this.

Peter Zijlstra a9c9a9b6bf sched: Simplify sched_groups_power initialization
Again, instead of relying on knowing the possible domains and their
order, simply rely on the sched_domain tree and whatever domains are
present in there to initialize the sched_group cpu_power.

Note: we need to iterate the CPU mask backwards because of the
cpumask_first() condition for iterating up the tree. By iterating the
mask backwards we ensure all groups of a domain are set-up before
starting on the parent groups that rely on its children to be
completely done.

Peter Zijlstra cd4ea6ae39 sched: Change NODE sched_domain group creation
The NODE sched_domain is 'special' in that it allocates sched_groups
per CPU, instead of sharing the sched_groups between all CPUs.

While this might have some benefits on large NUMA and avoid remote
memory accesses when iterating the sched_groups, this does break
current code that assumes sched_groups are shared between all
sched_domains (since the dynamic cpu_power patches).

So refactor the NODE groups to behave like all other groups.

(The ALLNODES domain again shared its groups across the CPUs for some
reason).

If someone does measure a performance decrease due to this change we
need to revisit this and come up with another way to have both dynamic
cpu_power and NUMA work nice together.

Ken Chen b30aef17f7 sched: Fix erroneous all_pinned logic
The scheduler load balancer has specific code to deal with cases of
unbalanced system due to lots of unmovable tasks (for example because of
hard CPU affinity). In those situation, it excludes the busiest CPU that
has pinned tasks for load balance consideration such that it can perform
second 2nd load balance pass on the rest of the system.

This all works as designed if there is only one cgroup in the system.

However, when we have multiple cgroups, this logic has false positives and
triggers multiple load balance passes despite there are actually no pinned
tasks at all.

The reason it has false positives is that the all pinned logic is deep in
the lowest function of can_migrate_task() and is too low level:

load_balance_fair() iterates each task group and calls balance_tasks() to
migrate target load. Along the way, balance_tasks() will also set a
all_pinned variable. Given that task-groups are iterated, this all_pinned
variable is essentially the status of last group in the scanning process.
Task group can have number of reasons that no load being migrated, none
due to cpu affinity. However, this status bit is being propagated back up
to the higher level load_balance(), which incorrectly think that no tasks
were moved.  It kick off the all pinned logic and start multiple passes
attempt to move load onto puller CPU.

To fix this, move the all_pinned aggregation up at the iterator level.
This ensures that the status is aggregated over all task-groups, not just
last one in the list.

Ken Chen b0432d8f16 sched: Fix sched-domain avg_load calculation
In function find_busiest_group(), the sched-domain avg_load isn't
calculated at all if there is a group imbalance within the domain. This
will cause erroneous imbalance calculation.

The reason is that calculate_imbalance() sees sds->avg_load = 0 and it
will dump entire sds->max_load into imbalance variable, which is used
later on to migrate entire load from busiest CPU to the puller CPU.

This has two really bad effect:

1. stampede of task migration, and they won't be able to break out
   of the bad state because of positive feedback loop: large load
   delta -> heavier load migration -> larger imbalance and the cycle
   goes on.

2. severe imbalance in CPU queue depth.  This causes really long
   scheduling latency blip which affects badly on application that
   has tight latency requirement.

The fix is to have kernel calculate domain avg_load in both cases. This
will ensure that imbalance calculation is always sensible and the target
is usually half way between busiest and puller CPU.

There is a bug in perf_event_enable_on_exec() when cgroup events are
active on a CPU: the cgroup events may be scheduled twice causing event
state corruptions which eventually may lead to kernel panics.

The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup
events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are
scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in()
function.

The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any
bogus state.

Jason Baron d430d3d7e6 jump label: Introduce static_branch() interface
Introduce:

static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);

instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.

In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:

Define:

        struct jump_label_key jump_key;

Can be used as:

        if (static_branch(&jump_key))
                do unlikely code

enable/disale via:

        jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
        jump_label_dec(&jump_key);

that's it!

For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.

Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.

Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.

Testing:

I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.

avg: 815.6

jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads)

running following commands:

  # enable the binary option
  echo 1 > ./options/bin
  # disable context info option
  echo 0 > ./options/context-info
  # tracing only events
  echo 1 > ./events/enable
  cat trace_pipe

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)

The reasons are:
 - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
   trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
   returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
 - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow

These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.

The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.

v2 changes:
 - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
 - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
   to find out the culprit

v3 changes:
 - make more accurate patch comment

to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace
tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events

This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the

the kernel memory.

But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core
and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported

Eric Paris ffa8e59df0 capabilities: do not drop CAP_SETPCAP from the initial task
In olden' days of yore CAP_SETPCAP had special meaning for the init task.
We actually have code to make sure that CAP_SETPCAP wasn't in pE of things
using the init_cred.  But CAP_SETPCAP isn't so special any more and we
don't have a reason to special case dropping it for init or kthreads....

Eric Paris 17f60a7da1 capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers
There is no way to limit the capabilities of usermodehelpers. This problem
reared its head recently when someone complained that any user with
cap_net_admin was able to load arbitrary kernel modules, even though the user
didn't have cap_sys_module.  The reason is because the actual load is done by
a usermode helper and those always have the full cap set.  This patch addes new
sysctls which allow us to bound the permissions of usermode helpers.

/proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/bset
/proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/inheritable

You must have CAP_SYS_MODULE  and CAP_SETPCAP to change these (changes are
&= ONLY).  When the kernel launches a usermodehelper it will do so with these
as the bset and pI.

-v2:	make globals static
	create spinlock to protect globals

-v3:	require both CAP_SETPCAP and CAP_SYS_MODULE
-v4:	fix the typo s/CAP_SET_PCAP/CAP_SETPCAP/ because I didn't commit

Oleg Nesterov ee77f07592 signal: Turn SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED into GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED
This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to
task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread.

Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive
after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only
purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal()
returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call
do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in
between.

But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be
false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the
sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time.

Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.

	- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then
	  it drops ->siglock

	- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP
	  should be cancelled.

	- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.
	  Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns
	  to usermode to run the handler.

	- T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts
	  the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored
	  in between.

With or without this change:

	- we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can
	  return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion

	- SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will
	  be fixed later.

Oleg Nesterov 780006eac2 signal: do_signal_stop: Remove the unneeded task_clear_group_stop_pending()
PF_EXITING or TASK_STOPPED has already called task_participate_group_stop()
and cleared its ->group_stop. No need to do task_clear_group_stop_pending()
when we start the new group stop.

Add a small comment to explain the !task_is_stopped() check. Note that this
check is not exactly right and it can lead to unnecessary stop later if the
thread is TASK_PTRACED. What we need is task_participated_in_group_stop(),
this will be solved later.

Oleg Nesterov 1deac632fc signal: prepare_signal(SIGCONT) shouldn't play with TIF_SIGPENDING
prepare_signal(SIGCONT) should never set TIF_SIGPENDING or wake up
the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE threads. We are going to call complete_signal()
which should pick the right thread correctly. All we need is to wake
up the TASK_STOPPED threads.

If the task was stopped, it can't return to usermode without taking
->siglock. Otherwise we don't care, and the spurious TIF_SIGPENDING
can't be useful.

The comment says:

	* If there is a handler for SIGCONT, we must make
	* sure that no thread returns to user mode before
	* we post the signal

It is not clear what this means. Probably, "when there's only a single
thread" and this continues to be true. Otherwise, even if this SIGCONT
is not private, with or without this change only one thread can dequeue
SIGCONT, other threads can happily return to user mode before before
that thread handles this signal.

Note also that wake_up_state(t, __TASK_STOPPED) can't race with the task
which changes its state, TASK_STOPPED state is protected by ->siglock as
well.

In short: when it comes to signal delivery, SIGCONT is the normal signal
and does not need any special support.

Dario Faggioli a51e919818 sched: Leave sched_setscheduler() earlier if possible, do not disturb SCHED_FIFO tasks
sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the
scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus,
if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it
is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full
deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question.

Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same
priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue)
having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of
a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate)
that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states,
for SCHED_FIFO:

  "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by
   pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on
   its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the
   modification, as follows: a. <...> b. If the priority is unchanged, the
   thread does not change position in the thread list. c. <...>"

     http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_08.html

 (ed: And the POSIX specification here does, briefly and somewhat unexpectedly,
      match what common sense tells us as well. )

Roland Dreier 243b422af9 Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
Commit da48524eb2 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict.
There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a
negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE:

 - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants
   to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel
   causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo()
   fails with EPERM.

 - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a()
   wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define).
   The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER.

As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to
forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

Steven Rostedt 2909620217 futex: Fix WARN_ON() test for UP
An update of the futex code had a

	WARN_ON(!spin_is_locked(q->lock_ptr))

But on UP, spin_is_locked() is always false, and will
trigger this warning, and even worse, it will exit the function
without doing the necessary work.

Converting this to a WARN_ON_SMP() fixes the problem.

Tejun Heo 0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

Namhyung Kim 0f77a8d378 vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifier
The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to
ensure the address will not point outside of the function.

If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat.

This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture
call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

Olaf Hering 93a72052be crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

Serge E. Hallyn 3486740a4f userns: security: make capabilities relative to the user namespace
- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default
  user namespace.
- Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default
  user namespace.

The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new
namespaces.  It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with
only potential uid confusion issues left.

I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I
think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals.

Changelog:
	11/05/2010: [serge] add apparmor
	12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces
	Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have
	capabilities to the user_ns he created.  THis is because we
	were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps
	he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether
	he was the creator.  Reverse those checks.
	12/16/2010: [serge] security_real_capable needs ns argument in !security case
	01/11/2011: [serge] add task_ns_capable helper
	01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion
	02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of
		    init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to
		    it!  Fix the check in cap_capable().
	02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable,
		    fixing a compile failure.
	02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments.  Some
		    couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare
		    them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY).  Add
		    a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h
		    without #including cred.h.  Move all forward declarations
		    together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use
		    kernel-doc format.
	02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable().
	02/23/2011: Per akpm, remove unreachable 'return -EPERM' in cap_capable.

Serge E. Hallyn 59607db367 userns: add a user_namespace as creator/owner of uts_namespace
The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted
capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace.

Goals:

- Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces.  They
  will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should
  only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns.

- Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different
  namespaces.

Status:

  Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to
  get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
  CAP_SETGID capabilities.  What this gets you is a whole new set of
  userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in
  your namespace than in other namespaces.  So any accounting information
  stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace.

  However, throughout the kernel there are checks which

  - simply check for a capability.  Since root in a child namespace
    has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not
    constrained.

  - simply compare uid1 == uid2.  Since these are the integer uids,
    uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in
    namespace 2.

  As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user
  namespaces.  This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to
  develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user
  namespaces may be unuseful.

Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which
are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in
child user namespace can do.  They begin to limit privilege to a user
namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the
parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files.
Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means
that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all*
files.  While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system
containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing.

I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no
difference.

This patch:

copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces.
So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace
will have the new user namespace as its owner.  That is what we want,
since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over
it.

Changelog:
	Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create
		a new uts_ns.
	Feb 23: Move extern init_user_ns declaration from

Eric W. Biederman 45a68628d3 pid: remove the child_reaper special case in init/main.c
This patchset is a cleanup and a preparation to unshare the pid namespace.
These prerequisites prepare for Eric's patchset to give a file descriptor
to a namespace and join an existing namespace.

This patch:

It turns out that the existing assignment in copy_process of the
child_reaper can handle the initial assignment of child_reaper we just
need to generalize the test in kernel/fork.c

Richard Weinberger bfdc0b497f sysctl: restrict write access to dmesg_restrict
When dmesg_restrict is set to 1 CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to read the kernel
ring buffer.  But a root user without CAP_SYS_ADMIN is able to reset
dmesg_restrict to 0.

This is an issue when e.g.  LXC (Linux Containers) are used and complete
user space is running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  A unprivileged and jailed
root user can bypass the dmesg_restrict protection.

With this patch writing to dmesg_restrict is only allowed when root has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Frederic Weisbecker 880f573184 perf: Better fit max unprivileged mlock pages for tools needs
The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.

However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.

Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:

	$ perf record ls
	Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)

Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

Tejun Heo 244056f9db job control: Don't send duplicate job control stop notification while ptraced
Just as group_exit_code shouldn't be generated when a PTRACE_CONT'd
task re-enters job control stop, notifiction for the event should be
suppressed too.  The logic is the same as the group_exit_code
generation suppression in do_signal_stop(), if SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED is
already set, the task is re-entering job control stop without
intervening SIGCONT and the notifications should be suppressed.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <signal.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  static const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
  static pid_t tracee, tracer;

  static const char *pid_who(pid_t pid)
  {
	  return pid == tracee ? "tracee" : (pid == tracer ? "tracer" : "mommy ");
  }

  static void sigchld_sigaction(int signo, siginfo_t *si, void *ucxt)
  {
	  printf("%s: SIG status=%02d code=%02d (%s)\n",
		 pid_who(getpid()), si->si_status, si->si_code,
		 pid_who(si->si_pid));
  }

  int main(void)
  {
	  const struct sigaction chld_sa = { .sa_sigaction = sigchld_sigaction,
					     .sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO|SA_RESTART };
	  siginfo_t si;

	  sigaction(SIGCHLD, &chld_sa, NULL);

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (!tracee) {
		  tracee = getpid();
		  while (1)
			  pause();
	  }

	  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (!tracer) {
		  tracer = getpid();
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  printf("tracer: detaching\n");
		  ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  return 0;
	  }

	  while (1)
		  pause();
	  return 0;
  }

Before the patch, the parent gets the second notification for the
tracee after the tracer detaches.  si_status is zero because
group_exit_code is not set by the group stop completion which
triggered this notification.

  mommy : SIG status=19 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=19 code=04 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: detaching
  mommy : SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  mommy : SIG status=00 code=01 (tracer)
  ^C

After the patch, the duplicate notification is gone.

  mommy : SIG status=19 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=19 code=04 (tracee)
  tracer: SIG status=00 code=05 (tracee)
  tracer: detaching

Tejun Heo ceb6bd67f9 job control: Notify the real parent of job control events regardless of ptrace
With recent changes, job control and ptrace stopped states are
properly separated and accessible to the real parent and the ptracer
respectively; however, notifications of job control stopped/continued
events to the real parent while ptraced are still missing.

A ptracee participates in group stop in ptrace_stop() but the
completion isn't notified.  If participation results in completion of
group stop, notify the real parent of the event.  The ptrace and group
stops are separate and can be handled as such.

However, when the real parent and the ptracer are in the same thread
group, only the ptrace stop event is visible through wait(2) and the
duplicate notifications are different from the current behavior and
are confusing.  Suppress group stop notification in such cases.

The continued state is shared between the real parent and the ptracer
but is only meaningful to the real parent.  Always notify the real
parent and notify the ptracer too for backward compatibility.  Similar
to stop notification, if the real parent is the ptracer, suppress a
duplicate notification.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	  const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 };
	  pid_t tracee, tracer;
	  siginfo_t si;
	  int i;

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (tracee == 0) {
		  while (1) {
			  printf("tracee: SIGSTOP\n");
			  raise(SIGSTOP);
			  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
			  printf("tracee: SIGCONT\n");
			  raise(SIGCONT);
			  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
		  }
	  }

	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT);

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (tracer == 0) {
		  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);

		  for (i = 0; i < 11; i++) {
			  si.si_pid = 0;
			  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
			  if (si.si_pid && si.si_code == CLD_TRAPPED)
				  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL,
					 (void *)(long)si.si_status);
		  }
		  printf("tracer: EXITING\n");
		  return 0;
	  }

	  while (1) {
		  si.si_pid = 0;
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WCONTINUED | WEXITED);
		  if (si.si_pid)
			  printf("mommy : WAIT status=%02d code=%02d\n",
				 si.si_status, si.si_code);
	  }
	  return 0;
  }

Before this patch, while ptraced, the real parent doesn't get
notifications for job control events, so although it can access those
events, the later waitid(2) call never wakes up.

  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracee: SIGCONT
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracer: EXITING
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  ^C

After this patch, it works as expected.

  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  tracee: SIGCONT
  mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06
  tracee: SIGSTOP
  tracer: EXITING
  mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05
  ^C

-v2: Oleg pointed out that

     * Group stop notification to the real parent should also happen
       when ptracer detach races with ptrace_stop().

     * real_parent_is_ptracer() should be testing thread group
       equality not the task itself as wait(2) and stop/cont
       notifications are normally thread-group wide.

     Both issues are fixed accordingly.

-v3: real_parent_is_ptracer() updated to test child->real_parent
     instead of child->group_leader->real_parent per Oleg's
     suggestion.

Tejun Heo 62bcf9d992 job control: Job control stop notifications should always go to the real parent
The stopped notifications in do_signal_stop() and exit_signals() are
always for the completion of job control.  The one in do_signal_stop()
may be delivered to the ptracer if PTRACE_ATTACH races with
notification and the one in exit_signals() if task exits while
ptraced.

In both cases, the notifications are meaningless and confusing to the
ptracer as it never accesses the group stop state while the real
parent would miss notifications for the events it is watching.

Make sure these notifications always go to the real parent by calling
do_notify_parent_cld_stop() with %false @for_ptrace.

Tejun Heo 45cb24a1da job control: Allow access to job control events through ptracees
Currently a real parent can't access job control stopped/continued
events through a ptraced child.  This utterly breaks job control when
the children are ptraced.

For example, if a program is run from an interactive shell and then
strace(1) attaches to it, pressing ^Z would send SIGTSTP and strace(1)
would notice it but the shell has no way to tell whether the child
entered job control stop and thus can't tell when to take over the
terminal - leading to awkward lone ^Z on the terminal.

Because the job control and ptrace stopped states are independent,
there is no reason to prevent real parents from accessing the stopped
state regardless of ptrace.  The continued state isn't separate but
ptracers don't have any use for them as ptracees can never resume
without explicit command from their ptracers, so as long as ptracers
don't consume it, it should be fine.

Although this is a behavior change, because the previous behavior is
utterly broken when viewed from real parents and the change is only
visible to real parents, I don't think it's necessary to make this
behavior optional.

One situation to be careful about is when a task from the real
parent's group is ptracing.  The parent group is the recipient of both
ptrace and job control stop events and one stop can be reported as
both job control and ptrace stops.  As this can break the current
ptrace users, suppress job control stopped events for these cases.

If a real parent ptracer wants to know about both job control and
ptrace stops, it can create a separate process to serve the role of
real parent.

Note that this only updates wait(2) side of things.  The real parent
can access the states via wait(2) but still is not properly notified
(woken up and delivered signal).  Test case polls wait(2) with WNOHANG
to work around.  Notification will be updated by future patches.

Test case follows.

			  raise(SIGSTOP);
			  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
			  printf("tracee: SIGCONT\n");

		  }
	  }

	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT);

	  tracer = fork();
	  if (tracer == 0) {
		  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);

				 si.si_status, si.si_code);
		  nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL);
	  }
	  return 0;

Tejun Heo 9b84cca256 job control: Fix ptracer wait(2) hang and explain notask_error clearing
wait(2) and friends allow access to stopped/continued states through
zombies, which is required as the states are process-wide and should
be accessible whether the leader task is alive or undead.
wait_consider_task() implements this by always clearing notask_error
and going through wait_task_stopped/continued() for unreaped zombies.

However, while ptraced, the stopped state is per-task and as such if
the ptracee became a zombie, there's no further stopped event to
listen to and wait(2) and friends should return -ECHILD on the tracee.

Fix it by clearing notask_error only if WCONTINUED | WEXITED is set
for ptraced zombies.  While at it, document why clearing notask_error
is safe for each case.

Tejun Heo 408a37de6c job control: Don't set group_stop exit_code if re-entering job control stop
While ptraced, a task may be resumed while the containing process is
still job control stopped.  If the task receives another stop signal
in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates
group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the
ptracer detaches.

In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED
events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which
normally is impossible.

Test case follows.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	  pid_t tracee;

	  kill(tracee, SIGSTOP);
	  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);

	  if (!fork()) {
		  ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL);
		  waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED);
		  ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status);

			  printf("st=%02d c=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code);
	  }

  }

Before the patch, the latter waitid() in polling mode reports the

Tejun Heo 0e9f0a4abf ptrace: Always put ptracee into appropriate execution state
Currently, __ptrace_unlink() wakes up the tracee iff it's in
TASK_TRACED.  For unlinking from PTRACE_DETACH, this is correct as the
tracee is guaranteed to be in TASK_TRACED or dead; however, unlinking
also happens when the ptracer exits and in this case the ptracee can
be in any state and ptrace might be left running even if the group it
belongs to is stopped.

This patch updates __ptrace_unlink() such that GROUP_STOP_PENDING is
reinstated regardless of the ptracee's current state as long as it's
alive and makes sure that signal_wake_up() is called if execution
state transition is necessary.

Test case follows.

  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/ptrace.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>

  static const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 };

  int main(void)
  {
	  pid_t tracee;
	  siginfo_t si;

	  tracee = fork();
	  if (tracee == 0) {
		  while (1) {
			  nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL);
			  write(1, ".", 1);
		  }

	  write(1, "exiting", 7);
	  return 0;

Before the patch, after the parent process exits, the child is left
running and prints out "." every second.

After the patch, the group stop initiated by the implied SIGSTOP from

Tejun Heo d79fdd6d96 ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED
Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.

With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean.  The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach.  On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way.  The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop.  This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.

As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop().  This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.

If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.

This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit.  Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.

Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all.  Please read the comments for
details.

Oleg:

* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
  proper bookkeeping.  Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.

* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
  different ways.  Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING.  Unhandled
  corner case is documented.

* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
  task would result in more consistent behavior.

* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
  TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
  the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach().  ptrace_stop() is now
  called with TASK_RUNNING.

* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.

* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
  TRAPPING.

Tejun Heo 5224fa3660 ptrace: Make do_signal_stop() use ptrace_stop() if the task is being ptraced
A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping
for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the
task is ptraced or not.  However, in addition to stopping,
ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling
architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more
fragile and difficult to understand.

This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and
use ptrace_stop() if so.  This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather
pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop()
regardless of the return value from the tracehook.  It probably is a
good idea to update it.

This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state
would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached.  That part will
be handled by the next patch.

Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change.  Before,
SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task
is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command
afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into
TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups).  With this and the next
patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is
ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED.

Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the
ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be
TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

Tejun Heo 0ae8ce1c8c ptrace: Participate in group stop from ptrace_stop() iff the task is trapping for group stop
Currently, ptrace_stop() unconditionally participates in group stop
bookkeeping.  This is unnecessary and inaccurate.  Make it only
participate if the task is trapping for group stop - ie. if @why is
CLD_STOPPED.  As ptrace_stop() currently is not used when trapping for
group stop, this equals to disabling group stop participation from
ptrace_stop().

A visible behavior change is increased likelihood of delayed group
stop completion if the thread group contains one or more ptraced
tasks.

This is to preapre for further cleanup of the interaction between
group stop and ptrace.

Tejun Heo 39efa3ef3a signal: Use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stop
Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop.  However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.

Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.

This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress.  The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined.  Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.

This results in the following behavior changes.

* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
  reported.

* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
  tracer would get the notification.  However, as a ptraced task could
  be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
  stop, the notification may still be missing.  These will be
  addressed with further patches.

* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
  the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery.  Group stop
  code handles this correctly.

Oleg:

* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
  GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set.  Fixed by updating
  recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
  group_stop_count.

* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
  task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared.  Fixed accordingly.

* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
  RUNNING and the last behavior change.

Tejun Heo e5c1902e92 signal: Fix premature completion of group stop when interfered by ptrace
task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group
stop.  It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for
group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements.
However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the
counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and
stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times.

Please consider the following example code.

 static void *worker(void *arg)
 {
	 while (1) ;
	 return NULL;
 }

 int main(void)
 {
	 pthread_t thread;
	 pid_t pid;
	 int i;

	 pid = fork();
	 if (!pid) {
		 for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
			 pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL);
		 while (1) ;
		 return 0;
	 }

	 ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
	 while (1) {
		 waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED);
		 ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP);
	 }
	 return 0;
 }

The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the
first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is
delivered.  If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all
other threads in the process should reliably stop.  However, due to
the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming
group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping
none or part of the other four threads.

This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by
siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still
to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug.

task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are
added to help manipulating group stop states.  As ptrace_stop() now
also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop.

There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group
stop and ptrace.  Patches to address them will follow.

- Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME.  Dropped.

ancient ptrace implementation and patently wrong.  Commit 95a3540d
(ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic) removed
it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace:
revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic")
citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group
stop / ptrace interaction.  Then, recently, it got converted from
wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous.

Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage
doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well
defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to
remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing.

Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being
cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

Tejun Heo c672af35d5 signal: Fix SIGCONT notification code
After a task receives SIGCONT, its parent is notified via SIGCHLD with
its siginfo describing what the notified event is.  If SIGCONT is
received while the child process is stopped, the code should be
CLD_CONTINUED.  If SIGCONT is recieved while the child process is in
the process of being stopped, it should be CLD_STOPPED.  Which code to
use is determined in prepare_signal() and recorded in signal->flags
using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags.

get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify
accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED
instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying
CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed
and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already.

Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED.  While at it, uncompress the
?: test into if/else clause for better readability.

Mandeep Singh Baines 5af5bcb8d3 printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via Kconfig
We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have
been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg.  To make
it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL
Kconfig-settable.  That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any
messages <= KERN_WARNING.

Kees Cook 9f36e2c448 printk: use %pK for /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules
In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.

Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)".  To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format.  Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change.  (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

Feng Tang fe3d8ad31c console: prevent registered consoles from dumping old kernel message over again
For a platform with many consoles like:
 "console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst"

Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get
registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered
consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for 3
times, and "tty1" will get some for twice.

As suggested by Andrew Morton, every time a new console is registered, it
will be set as the "exclusive" console which will dump the already
existing kernel messages.

Fabio M. Di Nitto 7bf693951a console: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootcon
On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.

This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.

If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.

By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.

The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

Don Zickus f99a99330f kernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down events
This patch addresses a couple of problems.  One was the case when the
hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup.  There
were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't
block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters).

The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from
a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to
the cpu notifier chain.  This blocked the notifier from continuing to
start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a
2.6.32 fork, it was the mce).  As a result, during soft cpu online/offline
testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu
notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and
would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a
never executed cpu up event.

I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids
and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event.  Therefore I
modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks
to inform the user of problems.

Don Zickus fef2c9bc1b kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by default
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot.  This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.

Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default.  Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

Oleg Nesterov 9bfb23fc4a sys_unshare: remove the dead CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM code
Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code
and confuses the reader.

sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work.  At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d96 ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.

And the code is not consistent.  unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.

Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().

Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare().  This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().

Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().

Phil Carmody 8d2587970b cgroups: if you list_empty() a head then don't list_del() it
list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers.  The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison.  One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().

Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move.  Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

Julien Tinnes da48524eb2 Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code
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.

Milton Miller c8def554d0 smp_call_function_interrupt: use typedef and %pf
Use the newly added smp_call_func_t in smp_call_function_interrupt for
the func variable, and make the comment above the WARN more assertive
and explicit.  Also, func is a function pointer and does not need an
offset, so use %pf not %pS.

Milton Miller 723aae25d5 smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of mask
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.

Milton Miller 45a5791920 call_function_many: add missing ordering
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.

Milton Miller e6cd1e07a1 call_function_many: fix list delete vs add race
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.
