* mm owner: fix race between swapoff and exitBalbir Singh2008-09-292-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

* kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel2008-09-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: timer hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E systems When a CPU is brought online then the broadcast machinery can be in the one shot state already. Check this and setup the timer device of the new CPU in one shot mode so the broadcast code can pick up the next_event value correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines. The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup first. The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens. The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: possible hang on CPU onlining in timer one shot mode.

The value -1 is used to signal, that currently no CPU is doing this. There are two cases, where the variable can have this state: boot: necessary for systems where the boot cpu id can be != 0 nohz long idle sleep: When the CPU which did the jiffies update last goes into a long idle sleep it drops the update jiffies duty so another CPU which is not idle can pick it up and keep jiffies going. Using the same value for both situations is wrong, as the CPU online code can see the -1 state when the timer of the newly onlined CPU is setup. The setup for a newly onlined CPU goes through periodic mode and can pick up the do_timer duty without being aware of the nohz / highres mode of the already running system. Use two separate states and make them constants to avoid magic numbers confusion. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

* / kexec: fix segmentation fault in kimage_add_entryJonathan Steel2008-09-231-1/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A segmentation fault can occur in kimage_add_entry in kexec.c when loading a kernel image into memory. The fault occurs because a page is requested by calling kimage_alloc_page with gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL and the function may actually return a page with gfp_mask GFP_HIGHUSER. The high mem page is returned because it was swapped with the kernel page due to the kernel page being a page that will shortly be copied to. This patch ensures that kimage_alloc_page returns a page that was created with the correct gfp flags. I have verified the change and fixed the whitespace damage of the original patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On my tulsa x86-64 machine, kernel 2.6.25-rc5 couldn't boot randomly. Basically, function __enable_runtime forgets to reset rt_rq->rt_throttled to 0. When every cpu is up, per-cpu migration_thread is created and it runs very fast, sometimes to mark the corresponding rt_rq->rt_throttled to 1 very quickly. After all cpus are up, with below calling chain: sched_init_smp => arch_init_sched_domains => build_sched_domains => ... => cpu_attach_domain => rq_attach_root => set_rq_online => ... => _enable_runtime _enable_runtime is called against every rt_rq again, so rt_rq->rt_time is reset to 0, but rt_rq->rt_throttled might be still 1. Later on function do_sched_rt_period_timer couldn't reset it, and all RT tasks couldn't be scheduled to run on that cpu. here is RT task migration_thread which is woken up when a task is migrated to another cpu. Below patch fixes it against 2.6.27-rc5. Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

So when the device is reactivated the possible stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it claims to wait on a event already. This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem, where systems need key press to come back to life. Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we can not touch the next_event value.

What this means is that doing echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted). This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in order to enable MC powersaving flags. Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS.

The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code. Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler. This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments, style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks. Here are some more details: rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts, like cpu hotplug for example. Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains() directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains(). In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does. New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments. We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly. The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()). This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review. I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces. I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make things cleaner. The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating & removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the quad-core2 based machine. It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled. This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working as expected.

The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.

CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings. Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue.

* | pid_ns: (BUG 11391) change ->child_reaper when init->group_leader exitsOleg Nesterov2008-09-022-50/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the subnamespace init exits. As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes longer than 120s. I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy. Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It fixes an accounting bug where we would continue accumulating runtime even though the bandwidth control is disabled. This would lead to very long throttle periods once bandwidth control gets turned on again. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
