2007-10-10[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.Eric W. Biederman
This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

2007-10-07fix bogus reporting of signals by auditAl Viro
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

2007-10-01robust futex thread exit raceMartin Schwidefsky
Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex. fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1) some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some mutexs held by a different thread are freed. The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.

2007-09-22clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^WthinkoThomas Gleixner
In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across the suspend/resume. Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time. The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set, when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.

2007-09-20signalfd simplificationDavide Libenzi
This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the sighand during its lifetime. In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current". I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago. The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to fetch w/out signalfd.

2007-09-19sched: fix invalid sched_class useHiroshi Shimamoto
When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario; 1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and thread B is rt_sched_class. 2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock. 3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread C has a rt_sched_class. 4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array. The new thread C should be fair_sched_class. The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing.

2007-09-19Fix user namespace exiting OOPsPavel Emelyanov
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later. On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned. Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the user_struct destruction. For example simple program #include <sched.h> char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024]; int f(void *foo) { return 0; } int main(void) { clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0); return 0; } run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the kernel immediately.

2007-09-16clockevents: prevent stale tick update on offline cpuThomas Gleixner
Taking a cpu offline removes the cpu from the online mask before the CPU_DEAD notification is done. The clock events layer does the cleanup of the dead CPU from the CPU_DEAD notifier chain. tick_do_timer_cpu is used to avoid xtime lock contention by assigning the task of jiffies xtime updates to one CPU. If a CPU is taken offline, then this assignment becomes stale. This went unnoticed because most of the time the offline CPU went dead before the online CPU reached __cpu_die(), where the CPU_DEAD state is checked. In the case that the offline CPU did not reach the DEAD state before we reach __cpu_die(), the code in there goes to sleep for 100ms. Due to the stale time update assignment, the system is stuck forever. Take the assignment away when a cpu is not longer in the cpu_online_mask. We do this in the last call to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when the offline CPU is on the way to the final play_dead() idle entry. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2007-09-16clockevents: do not shutdown the oneshot broadcast deviceThomas Gleixner

2007-09-16timekeeping: Prevent time going backwards on resumeThomas Gleixner
Timekeeping resume adjusts xtime by adding the slept time in seconds and resets the reference value of the clock source (clock->cycle_last). clock->cycle last is used to calculate the delta between the last xtime update and the readout of the clock source in __get_nsec_offset(). xtime plus the offset is the current time. The resume code ignores the delta which had already elapsed between the last xtime update and the actual time of suspend. If the suspend time is short, then we can see time going backwards on resume. Suspend: offs_s = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_s; timekeeping_suspend_time = read_rtc(); Resume: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; if sleep_time_seconds == 0 and offs_r < offs_s, then time goes backwards. Fix this by storing the offset from the last xtime update and add it to xtime during resume, when we reset clock->cycle_last: sleep_time = read_rtc() - timekeeping_suspend_time; xtime.tv_sec += sleep_time; xtime += offs_s; /* Fixup xtime offset at suspend time */ clock->cycle_last = clock->read(); offs_r = clock->read() - clock->cycle_last; now = xtime + offs_r; Thanks to Marcelo for tracking this down on the OLPC and providing the necessary details to analyze the root cause.

2007-09-11Restore call_usermodehelper_pipe() behaviourMichael Ellerman
The semantics of call_usermodehelper_pipe() used to be that it would fork the helper, and wait for the kernel thread to be started. This was implemented by setting sub_info.wait to 0 (implicitly), and doing a wait_for_completion(). As part of the cleanup done in 0ab4dc92278a0f3816e486d6350c6652a72e06c8, call_usermodehelper_pipe() was changed to pass 1 as the value for wait to call_usermodehelper_exec(). This is equivalent to setting sub_info.wait to 1, which is a change from the previous behaviour. Using 1 instead of 0 causes __call_usermodehelper() to start the kernel thread running wait_for_helper(), rather than directly calling ____call_usermodehelper(). The end result is that the calling kernel code blocks until the user mode helper finishes. As the helper is expecting input on stdin, and now no one is writing anything, everything locks up (observed in do_coredump). The fix is to change the 1 to UMH_WAIT_EXEC (aka 0), indicating that we want to wait for the kernel thread to be started, but not for the helper to finish.

2007-09-11futex_compat: fix list traversal bugsArnd Bergmann
The futex list traversal on the compat side appears to have a bug. It's loop termination condition compares: while (compat_ptr(uentry) != &head->list) But that can't be right because "uentry" has the special "pi" indicator bit still potentially set at bit 0. This is cleared by fetch_robust_entry() into the "entry" return value. What this seems to mean is that the list won't terminate when list iteration gets back to the the head. And we'll also process the list head like a normal entry, which could cause all kinds of problems. So we should check for equality with "entry". That pointer is of the non-compat type so we have to do a little casting to keep the compiler and sparse happy. The same problem can in theory occur with the 'pending' variable, although that has not been reported from users so far. Based on the original patch from David Miller.

2007-09-10Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACHRoland McGrath
When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have been provoked by his ptrace calls so far. A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k). But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support. Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

fix ideal_runtime: - do not scale it using niced_granularity() it is against sum_exec_delta, so its wall-time, not fair-time. - move the whole check into __check_preempt_curr_fair() so that wakeup preemption can also benefit from the new logic. this also results in code size reduction: text data bss dec hex filename 13391 228 1204 14823 39e7 sched.o.before 13369 228 1204 14801 39d1 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-09-05sched: improve prev_sum_exec_runtime settingPeter Zijlstra
Second preparatory patch for fix-ideal runtime: Mark prev_sum_exec_runtime at the beginning of our run, the same spot that adds our wait period to wait_runtime. This seems a more natural location to do this, and it also reduces the code a bit: text data bss dec hex filename 13397 228 1204 14829 39ed sched.o.before 13391 228 1204 14823 39e7 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-09-05sched: fix niced_granularity() shiftIngo Molnar
fix niced_granularity(). This resulted in under-scheduling for CPU-bound negative nice level tasks (and this in turn caused higher than necessary latencies in nice-0 tasks). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-09-05sched: fix MC/HT scheduler optimization, without breaking the FUZZ logic.Suresh Siddha
First fix the check if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task) with this if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task) As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0 tasks). With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC optimization is needed.

2007-08-31sigqueue_free: fix the race with collect_signal()Oleg Nesterov
Spotted by taoyue <yue.tao@windriver.com> and Jeremy Katz <jeremy.katz@windriver.com>. collect_signal: sigqueue_free: list_del_init(&first->list); if (!list_empty(&q->list)) { // not taken } q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC; __sigqueue_free(first); __sigqueue_free(q); Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the obviously bad implications. In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue. Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see http://marc.info/?t=118766926500003 http://marc.info/?t=118466273000005 Alexey Dobriyan reports this patch makes the difference for the testcase, but nobody has an access to the application which opened the problems originally. Also, this patch removes tasklist lock/unlock, ->siglock is enough.

This shows that a driver's irq handler was running both in hard interrupt and process contexts with irqs enabled. The latter was done during free_irq() call and was possible only with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled. This was fixed by another patch. But similar problem is possible with request_irq(): any locks taken from irq handler could be vulnerable - especially with soft interrupts. This patch fixes it by disabling local interrupts during handler's run. (It seems, disabling softirqs should be enough, but it needs more checking on possible races or other special cases).
