Cedric Le Goater 937949d9ed [PATCH] add process_session() helper routine
Replace occurences of task->signal->session by a new process_session() helper
routine.

It will be useful for pid namespaces to abstract the session pid number.

NeilBrown d63a5a74de [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.  This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

Oleg Nesterov dae3c5a0b7 [PATCH] sys_unshare: remove a broken CLONE_SIGHAND code
sys_unshare(CLONE_SIGHAND) is broken, the code under 'if (new_sigh)' is
never executed but very wrong. Just remove it to avoid a confusion,
task_lock() has nothing to do with ->sighand changing.

Also, change the comment in unshare_sighand(). Yes, CLONE_THREAD implies
CLONE_SIGHAND, but still it looks confusing. Also, we don't need to check
current->sighand != NULL.

Peter Zijlstra 24ec839c43 [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking
Fix the locking of signal->tty.

Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
       be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
       it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
       invocations)

Hidetoshi Seto 6e2ac66470 [PATCH] CPEI gets warning at kernel/irq/migration.c:27/move_masked_irq()

It comes from:

[kernel/irq/migration.c]
  26         if (CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU(desc->status)) {
  27                 WARN_ON(1);
  28                 return;
  29         }

By putting some printk in kernel, I found that irqbalance is trying to
move CPEI which is handled as PER_CPU irq. That's why.

CPEI(Corrected Platform Error Interrupt) is ia64 specific irq, is
allowed to pin to particular processor which selected by the platform, and
even it is PER_CPU but it has set_affinity handler (=iosapic_set_affinity)
as same as other IO-SAPIC-level interrupts. (I don't know why, but
I guess that there would be typical situation where the handler for
migration is needed, such as hotplug - the processor going to be
offline/hot-removed.)

To shut up this warning, there are 2 way at least:
 a) fix CPEI stuff
 b) prohibit setting affinity to PER_CPU irq

I'm not sure what stuff of CPEI need to be fixed, but I think that
returning error to attempting move PER_CPU irq is useful for all
applications since it will never work.

Following small patch takes b) style.
It works, the warning disappeared and irqbalance still runs well.

Linus Torvalds 68380b5813 Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue function
This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running.  This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.

It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.

Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers.  You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().

But it's better than what we had currently.

Zachary Amsden 3908fd2ed9 [PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly trigger
It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs.  This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets.  So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.

In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks.  It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.

Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu.  It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

BP, Praveen bd9b0bac6f [PATCH] sysctl: string length calculated is wrong if it contains negative numbers
In the functions do_proc_dointvec() and do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(),
there seems to be a bug in string length calculation if string contains
negative integer.

The console log given below explains the bug. Setting negative values
may not be a right thing to do for "console log level" but then the test
(given below) can be used to demonstrate the bug in the code.

# echo "-1 -1 -1 -123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      -1234
#
# echo "-1 -1 -1 123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      1234
#

(akpm: the bug is that 123456 gets truncated)

It works as expected if string contains all +ve integers

# echo "1 2 3 4" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
1       2       3       4
#

The patch given below fixes the issue.

Eric Dumazet 1c69d921ed [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch()
On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU
qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when
rcu_do_batch() is called.

This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring
back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's.

Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones
(at least with current C compilers :) )

I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead
of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M)

while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);}

Masami Hiramatsu b4c6c34a53 [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer.  The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag.  If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.

However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time.  So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot.  It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.

The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately.  But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages.  collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

Alan Cox 40fcfc8722 [PATCH] HZ: 300Hz support
Fix two things.  Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ".  Secondly it is useful
to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work.  250 is fine for us in
Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants).  300 gives
us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60.
It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz.

I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess
disruption for now.

(NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from
deep within the wakeup path.)

akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched.  lock_sock(), msleep(), others..

akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise.  Presumably doing disk

nla_put() in taskstat.c can fail only if the 'size' argument of alloc_skb()
was not right. This is a kernel bug, we should not hide it. So add 'BUG()'
on error path and check for 'na == NULL'.

So we can remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).

Oleg Nesterov 51de4d9085 [PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assembling
Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do:

	1) allocate stats
	2) fill stats
	3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes)
	4) copy that copy to skb
	5) free stats

With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly,
thus avoiding all these steps except 2).

So, before this patch:

	// copy *stats to skb->data
	int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats);

	fill_pid(stats);
	mk_reply(skb, ..., stats);

After:
	// return a pointer to skb->data
	struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...);

	stat = mk_reply(skb, ...);
	fill_pid(stats);

Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.

A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the

		real user sys
	before:
		4.02 0.06 3.96
		4.02 0.04 3.98
		4.02 0.04 3.97
	after:
		3.86 0.08 3.78
		3.88 0.10 3.77
		3.89 0.09 3.80

but this looks suspiciously good.

Roland McGrath fec1d01152 [PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exit
The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads
communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can
synchronize using a simple futex wait.  The word of user memory where NPTL
stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at
thread exit.

It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due
to a fatal signal.  A core dump is more usefully representative of the
dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their
NPTL data structures unperturbed.  The userland expectation of
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making
an _exit system call.

This problem was identified by Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8357376d3d [PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmem
Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the
normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg.  it requires two normal pages
to be used for saving one highmem page).  This may be improved by using
highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages.

Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to
allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages.
If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of
the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal"
memory.  Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store
the (remaining) image data.  We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated
free pages (ie.  highmem as well as "normal" image pages).

Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages
(highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are
copied into the image pages.  Then, the second bitmap is used to save the
pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save
their data.

During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the
suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page
frames.  Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to
load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend
and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of
allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the
image.  While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra
free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed
later.

Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page
frames.  The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page
frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel
virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing
their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs.

One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie.  "normal"
pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way
as previously (ie.  by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).  The
other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages.  The pages
in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the
arch-dependent code is called.

Rafael J. Wysocki 37b2ba12df [PATCH] swsusp: add ioctl for swap files support
To be able to use swap files as suspend storage from the userland suspend
tools we need an additional ioctl() that will allow us to provide the kernel
with both the swap header's offset and the identification of the resume
partition.

The new ioctl() should be regarded as a replacement for the
SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl() that from now on will be considered as
obsolete, but has to stay for backwards compatibility of the interface.

Rafael J. Wysocki 915bae9ebe [PATCH] swsusp: use partition device and offset to identify swap areas
The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
areas:

(1) swap files need not be contiguous,

(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition
    that holds it.  From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem,
    because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has
    to be taken into consideration.

In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
help of appropriate filesystem driver.  Unfortunately, however, it requires
the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk.  For this reason we
need some other means by which swap areas can be identified.

For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the
area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap
header is located.

The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way.  It changes
swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset
of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument.

steps or let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after
resume again.

It also ensures on many machines, that changed hardware (unplugged AC
adapters) gets correctly detected and that kacpid does not run wild after

Ashwin Chaugule 7602bdf2fd [PATCH] new scheme to preempt swap token
The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo.  The old
algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from
one task to another.  This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in
need of the token.  The urgency for the token is based on the number of times
a task is required to swap-in pages.  Accordingly, the priority of a task is
incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs.  To ensure that
the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority
boost.  The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's
keeps reducing.  This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap
token, is a matter of comparing two task's priority fields.

   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

Linus Torvalds b42172fc7b Don't call "note_interrupt()" with irq descriptor lock held
This reverts commit f72fa70760, and solves
the problem that it tried to fix by simply making "__do_IRQ()" call the
note_interrupt() function without the lock held, the way everybody else
does.

It should be noted that all interrupt handling code must never allow the
descriptor actors to be entered "recursively" (that's why we do all the
magic IRQ_PENDING stuff in the first place), so there actually is
exclusion at that much higher level, even in the absense of locking.

David Howells 65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

The root cause is that some irq_chip variables, especially ia64_msi_chip,
initiate their memeber end to point to NULL. __do_IRQ doesn't check
if irq_chip->end is null and just calls it after processing the interrupt.

As irq_chip->end is called at many places, so I fix it by reinitiating
irq_chip->end to dummy_irq_chip.end, e.g., a noop function.

This reverts commit 0130b0b32e.

Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was
supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix"
actually causes more problems:

  "However, the new code does not look safe in all cases.  If some other
   task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the
   new code will update open_files to the new larger value.  But newf was
   allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent
   accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory."

so revert it.

Pavel Emelianov f72fa70760 [PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks
While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:

	__do_IRQ()
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock);
           desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
	note_interrupt()
	misrouted_irq()
	handle_IRQ_event()
           if (...)
	      local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
	/* interrupts are enabled from now */
	...
	__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */

Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:

1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock.  This issue
is only theoretical.

I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

The problem is because of race window.  When if(expand) block is executed in

Eric W. Biederman d99f160ac5 [PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table
Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.

The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur.  The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.

By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface.  Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.

I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry.  So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.

I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

Gautham R Shenoy 4b96b1a10c [PATCH] Fix the spurious unlock_cpu_hotplug false warnings
Cpu-hotplug locking has a minor race case caused because of setting the
variable "recursive" to NULL *after* releasing the cpu_bitmask_lock in the

This was the cause of most of the recent false spurious lock_cpu_unlock
warnings.

Linus Torvalds 10b1fbdb0a Make sure "user->sigpending" count is in sync
The previous commit (45c18b0bb5, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.

It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using.  No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.

Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.

This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

Linus Torvalds 45c18b0bb5 Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access
There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.

This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
	http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241

We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.

Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.
