* sched/headers: Prepare to move cputime functionality from <linux/sched.h> ↵Ingo Molnar2017-03-021-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | into <linux/sched/cputime.h> Introduce a trivial, mostly empty <linux/sched/cputime.h> header to prepare for the moving of cputime functionality out of sched.h. Update all code that relies on these facilities.

* sched/cputime: Introduce special task_cputime_t() API to return old-typed ↵Frederic Weisbecker2017-02-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cputime This API returns a task's cputime in cputime_t in order to ease the conversion of cputime internals to use nsecs units instead. Blindly converting all cputime readers to use this API now will later let us convert more smoothly and step by step all these places to use the new nsec based cputime.

* death to mnt_pinnedAl Viro2014-08-071-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than playing silly buggers with vfsmount refcounts, just have acct_on() ask fs/namespace.c for internal clone of file->f_path.mnt and replace it with said clone. Then attach the pin to original vfsmount. Voila - the clone will be alive until the file gets closed, making sure that underlying superblock remains active, etc., and we can drop the original vfsmount, so that it's not kept busy. If the file lives until the final mntput of the original vfsmount, we'll notice that there's an fs_pin (one in bsd_acct_struct that holds that file) and mnt_pin_kill() will take it out. Since ->kill() is synchronous, we won't proceed past that point until these files are closed (and private clones of our vfsmount are gone), so we get the same ordering warranties we used to get. mnt_pin()/mnt_unpin()/->mnt_pinned is gone now, and good riddance - it never became usable outside of kernel/acct.c (and racy wrt umount even there).

* take fs_pin stuff to fs/*Al Viro2014-08-071-95/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new field to fs_pin - kill(pin). That's what umount and r/o remount will be calling for all pins attached to vfsmount and superblock resp. Called after bumping the refcount, so it won't go away under us. Dropping the refcount is responsibility of the instance. All generic stuff moved to fs/fs_pin.c; the next step will rip all the knowledge of kernel/acct.c from fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c. After that - death to mnt_pin(); it was intended to be usable as generic mechanism for code that wants to attach objects to vfsmount, so that they would not make the sucker busy and would get killed on umount. Never got it right; it remained acct.c-specific all along. Now it's very close to being killable. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* acct: new lifetime rulesAl Viro2014-08-071-106/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not reuse bsd_acct_struct after closing the damn thing. Structure lifetime is controlled by refcount now. We also have a mutex in there, held over closing and writing (the file is O_APPEND, so we are not losing any concurrency). As the result, we do not need to bother with get_file()/fput() on log write anymore. Moreover, do_acct_process() only needs acct itself; file and pidns are picked from it. Killed instances are distinguished by having NULL ->ns. Refcount is protected by acct_lock; anybody taking the mutex needs to grab a reference first. The things will get a lot simpler in the next commits - this is just the minimal chunk switching to the new lifetime rules. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* acct: encode_comp_t(0) is 0, fortunately...Al Viro2014-08-071-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was an amusing bogosity in ac_rw calculation - it tried to do encode_comp_t(encode_comp_t(0) / 1024). Seeing that comp_t is a 3-bit exponent + 13-bit mantissa... it's a good thing that 0 is represented by all-bits-clear. The history of that one is interesting - it was introduced in 2.1.68pre1, when acct.c had been reworked and moved to separate file. Two months later (2.1.86) somebody has noticed that the sucker won't compile - there was no task_struct::io_usage. At which point the ac_io calculation had changed from encode_comp_t(current->io_usage) to encode_comp_t(0) and the bug in the next line (absolutely real back then, had it ever managed to compile) become a harmless bogosity. Looks like nobody has ever noticed until now. Anyway, let's bury that idiocy now that it got noticed. 17 years is long enough... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* fs: Fix hang with BSD accounting on frozen filesystemJan Kara2013-05-041-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When BSD process accounting is enabled and logs information to a filesystem which gets frozen, system easily becomes unusable because each attempt to account process information blocks. Thus e.g. every task gets blocked in exit. It seems better to drop accounting information (which can already happen when filesystem is running out of space) instead of locking system up. So we just skip the write if the filesystem is frozen. Reported-by: Nikola Ciprich <nikola.ciprich@linuxbox.cz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.
