* lguest: export symbols for lguest as a moduleRusty Russell2007-07-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lguest does some fairly lowlevel things to support a host, which normal modules don't need: math_state_restore: When the guest triggers a Device Not Available fault, we need to be able to restore the FPU __put_task_struct: We need to hold a reference to another task for inter-guest I/O, and put_task_struct() is an inline function which calls __put_task_struct. access_process_vm: We need to access another task for inter-guest I/O. map_vm_area & __get_vm_area: We need to map the switcher shim (ie. monitor) at 0xFFC01000.

This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance. Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we move __acquired into the generic path. __acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it. __contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable locks) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* lockstat: core infrastructurePeter Zijlstra2007-07-192-0/+269
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the core lock statistics code. Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.) It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using: /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke unneeded ifdefs] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* coredump masking: bound suid_dumpable sysctlKawai, Hidehiro2007-07-191-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series is version 5 of the core dump masking feature, which controls which VMAs should be dumped based on their memory types and per-process flags. I adopted most of Andrew's suggestion at the previous version. He also suggested using system call instead of /proc/<pid>/ interface, I decided to use the latter continuously because adding new system call with pid argument will give a big impact on the kernel. You can access the per-process flags via /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter interface. coredump_filter represents a bitmask of memory types, and if a bit is set, VMAs of corresponding memory type are written into a core file when the process is dumped. The bitmask is inherited from the parent process when a process is created. The original purpose is to avoid longtime system slowdown when a number of processes which share a huge shared memory are dumped at the same time. To achieve this purpose, this patch series adds an ability to suppress dumping anonymous shared memory for specified processes. In this version, three other memory types are also supported. Here are the coredump_filter bits: bit 0: anonymous private memory bit 1: anonymous shared memory bit 2: file-backed private memory bit 3: file-backed shared memory The default value of coredump_filter is 0x3. This means the new core dump routine has the same behavior as conventional behavior by default. In this version, coredump_filter bits and mm.dumpable are merged into mm.flags, and it is accessed by atomic bitops. The supported core file formats are ELF and ELF-FDPIC. ELF has been tested, but ELF-FDPIC has not been built and tested because I don't have the test environment. This patch limits a value of suid_dumpable sysctl to the range of 0 to 2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from the old mm into the new mm. We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out where the stack should be, we move it downwards. It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is inactive.

* audit: rework execve auditPeter Zijlstra2007-07-192-21/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run, this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to copy it, we can just grab it from there. In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a temporary kernel buffer first. Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit, but only when execve auditing is enabled. If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check can be removed.

* jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for usersMichael Ellerman2007-07-191-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

* PM: prevent frozen user mode helpers from failing the freezing of tasksRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-191-10/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, if a user mode helper is running while usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user space processes are thawed. As a result, the freezing of kernel threads may fail, which is not desirable. Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action = PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no helpers running. [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero and fails if that doesn't happen.] Special thanks to Uli Luckas <u.luckas@road.de>, Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> and Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> for reviewing the previous versions of this patch and for very useful comments.

* Freezer: avoid freezing kernel threads prematurelyRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-192-31/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely. To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks() check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags when user space processes are to be frozen. Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags. For this reason task_lock() must be used to prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p). Also, we need to prevent the following scenario from happening: * daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path * freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive * task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE * freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task * task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at that point This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the code ordering so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is called after device_suspend(). This is needed so that we don't violate the ACPI specification, which states that the _PTS and _GTS system-control methods, executed from acpi_sleep_prepare(), ought to be called after devices have been put in low power states. The "Finish" label in hibernation_restore() is moved, because device_suspend() resumes devices if the suspending of them fails and the restore code ordering should reflect the hibernation code ordering.

* swsusp: introduce restore platform operationsRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-194-19/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the "platform" mode of hibernation has been used. Namely, in that cases we need to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen" kernel (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887). After the restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly. For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations, called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code path. Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header. Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of Bug #7887 .  We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode. In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the restore (or restore failure)   Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus().  However, this would have affected the suspend (ie. s2ram) code as well as the hibernation, which I'd like to avoid in this patch series.

* swsusp: remove incorrect code from user.cRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-191-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the face of the recent change of suspend code ordering (cf. http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=117938245931603&w=2) we should also modify the code ordering in swsusp so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is executed after device_suspend(). However, for this purpose it seems reasonable to eliminate the code duplication between kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c first. By eliminating it we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove the maintenance difficulty with making essentially the same changes in two different places. Moreover, we should also remove the calls to "platform" functions from the restore code path, since it doesn't carry out any power transition of the system, but we generally need to disable the GPEs before the restore if the 'platform' hibernation mode has been used. To do this, we can introduce two new hibernation_ops to be used in the restore code. This patch: Make the code hibernation code in kernel/power/user.c be functionally equivalent to the corresponding code in kernel/power/disk.c , as it should be. The calls to the platform functions removed by this patch are incorrect. They should be replaced with some other "platform" invocations that will be introduced in one of the subsequent patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single implementation. By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it can include command-line arguments. This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal management. sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.
