The field has no value because all clock bases have the same
resolution. The resolution only changes when we switch to high
resolution timer mode. We can evaluate that from a single static
variable as well. In the !HIGHRES case its simply a constant.
Export the variable, so we can simplify the usage sites.

'active_bases' indicates which clock-base have active timer. The
intention of this bit field was to avoid evaluating inactive bases. It
was introduced with the introduction of the BOOTTIME and TAI clock
bases, but it was never brought into full use.
We want to use it now, but in __remove_hrtimer() the update happens
after the calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() which has to evaluate all
clock bases for the next expiring timer. So in case the last timer of
a clock base got removed we still see the active bit and therefor
evaluate the clock base for no value. There are further optimizations
possible when active_bases is updated in the right place.
Move the update before the call to hrtimer_force_reprogram()

Commit 8053871d0f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async()
locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in
the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases
ended up not unlocking the call data at all.
This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case,
where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU. But apparently
ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm). Bindly doing cross-cpu calls
to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error
handling was clearly not correct.
Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

sync_buffer() needs the mmap_sem for two distinct operations, both only
occurring upon user context switch handling:
1) Dealing with the exe_file.
2) Adding the dcookie data as we need to lookup the vma that
backs it. This is done via add_sample() and add_data().
This patch isolates 1), for it will no longer need the mmap_sem for
serialization. However, for now, make of the more standard
get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value,
and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't
dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie.
As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really
need it, in lookup_dcookie(). The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem
hold times, and cleaner code.

Oleg cleverly suggested using xchg() to set the new mm->exe_file instead
of calling set_mm_exe_file() which requires some form of serialization --
mmap_sem in this case. For archs that do not have atomic rmw instructions
we still fallback to a spinlock alternative, so this should always be
safe. As such, we only need the mmap_sem for looking up the backing
vm_file, which can be done sharing the lock. Naturally, this means we
need to manually deal with both the new and old file reference counting,
and we need not worry about the MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED bits, which can
probably be deleted in the future anyway.

This would lead to a division by zero in the calculation of max_threads.
With 32-bit calculation there is no solution which delivers valid results

copy_process will report any failure in alloc_pid as ENOMEM currently
which is misleading because the pid allocation might fail not only when
the memory is short but also when the pid space is consumed already.
The current man page even mentions this case:
: EAGAIN
:
: A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered.
: There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the
: RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which
: limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was
: reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes
: and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see
: proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max,
: was reached (see proc(5)).
so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt. documentation. POSIX man
page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached.
This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we
return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure. This will make behavior of
fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX.
alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead
(the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no
good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally
returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per
Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7)
: If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel
: terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal.
: This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for
: the correct operation of a PID namespace. In this case, a subsequent
: fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is
: not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init"
: process has terminated.
and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to
ENOMEM for this case.

It does not look like we need this warning at all, because the behaviour

ptrace_resume() is called when the tracee is still __TASK_TRACED. We set
tracee->exit_code and then wake_up_state() changes tracee->state. If the
tracer's sub-thread does wait() in between, task_stopped_code(ptrace => T)
wrongly looks like another report from tracee.
This confuses debugger, and since wait_task_stopped() clears ->exit_code
the tracee can miss a signal.
Test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
int pid;
void *waiter(void *arg)
{
int stat;
for (;;) {
assert(pid == wait(&stat));
assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat));
if (WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP)
continue;
assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGCONT);
printf("ERR! extra/wrong report:%x\n", stat);
}
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
for (;;)
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP);
}
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, waiter, NULL) == 0);
for (;;)
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGCONT);
return 0;
}
Note for stable: the bug is very old, but without 9899d11f65 "ptrace:
ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL" the fix
should use lock_task_sighand(child).

The current smp_function_call code suffers a number of problems, most
notably smp_call_function_single_async() is broken.
The problem is that flush_smp_call_function_queue() does csd_unlock()
_after_ calling csd->func(). This means that a caller cannot properly
synchronize the csd usage as it has to.
Change the code to release the csd before calling ->func() for the
async case, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE(csd->flags & CSD_FLAG_LOCK) in
smp_call_function_single_async() to warn us of improper serialization,
because any waiting there can results in deadlocks when called with
IRQs disabled.
Rename the (currently) unused WAIT flag to SYNCHRONOUS and (re)use it
such that we know what to do in flush_smp_call_function_queue().
Rework csd_{,un}lock() to use smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release()
to avoid some full barriers while more clearly providing lock
semantics.
Finally move the csd maintenance out of generic_exec_single() into its
callers for clearer code.

During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that
hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after

1.
first bug is a silly mistake. It broke tracing examples and prevented
simple bpf programs from loading.
In the following code:
if (insn->imm == 0 && BPF_SIZE(insn->code) == BPF_W) {
} else if (...) {
// this part should have been executed when
// insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0
}
Obviously it's not doing that. So simple instructions like:
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
will be rejected. Note the comments in the code around these branches
were and still valid and indicate the true intent.
Replace it with:
if (BPF_SIZE(insn->code) != BPF_W)
continue;
if (insn->imm == 0) {
} else if (...) {
// now this code will be executed when
// insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0
}
2.
second bug is more subtle.
If malicious code is using the same dest register as source register,
the checks designed to prevent the same instruction to be used with different
pointer types will fail to trigger, since we were assigning src_reg_type
when it was already overwritten by check_mem_access().
The fix is trivial. Just move line:
src_reg_type = regs[insn->src_reg].type;
before check_mem_access().
Add new 'access skb fields bad4' test to check this case.

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a
graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds
orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling
/sbin/reboot.
This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on
platforms that do not use ACPI.
orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace
to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may imminently
catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an immediate
reboot without involving userspace.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from
compaction, but not from other types of migration. The POSIX real time
extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page
fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the
ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults.
However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will
not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion. The
compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap
but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve
this state. This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction
behavior with respect to the unevictable lru. Users who demand no page
faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0
and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on
locked memory by leaving the default value of 1.
To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a
large number of 1MB files filled with random data. These maps are
created locked and read only. Then every other mmap is unmapped and I
attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool. When the
compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages
after fragmenting memory. When the value is set to 1, allocations
succeed.

mem_cgroup_lookup() is a wrapper around mem_cgroup_from_id(), which
checks that id != 0 before issuing the function call. Today, there is
no point in this additional check apart from optimization, because there
is no css with id <= 0, so that css_from_id, called by
mem_cgroup_from_id, will return NULL for any id <= 0.
Since mem_cgroup_from_id is only called from mem_cgroup_lookup, let us
zap mem_cgroup_lookup, substituting calls to it with mem_cgroup_from_id
and moving the check if id > 0 to css_from_id.

With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only
possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time.
This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of
some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the
soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this
series applied, the user interface is as follows.
- parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
. soft_watchdog
This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of
the soft lockup detector.
. nmi_watchdog
The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used
to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector.
. watchdog
This parameter is still available to control the run state of both
lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined,
it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog.
. watchdog_thresh
The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch.
- kernel command line parameters
. nosoftlockup
The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used
to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time.
. nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1
Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch
introduces '=1' as a new option.
. nowatchdog
The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It
is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time.
Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

essentially have to do the same thing.
if the parameter is being read {
return the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled'
} else {
set/clear the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled'
update the run state of the lockup detector(s)
}
Hence, introduce a common function that can be called by those handlers.
The callers pass a 'bit mask' to this function to indicate which bit(s)
should be set/cleared in 'watchdog_enabled'.
This function handles an uncommon race with watchdog_nmi_enable() where a
concurrent update of 'watchdog_enabled' is possible. We use 'cmpxchg' to
detect the concurrency. [This avoids introducing a new spinlock or a
mutex to synchronize updates of 'watchdog_enabled'. Using the same lock
or mutex in watchdog thread context and in system call context needs to be
considered carefully because it can make the code prone to deadlock
situations in connection with parking/unparking the watchdog threads.]

This series removes proc_dowatchdog(). Since multiple new functions need
the 'watchdog_proc_mutex' to serialize access to the watchdog parameters
in /proc/sys/kernel, move the mutex outside of any function.

This series introduces a separate handler for each watchdog parameter in
/proc/sys/kernel. The separate handlers need a common function that they
can call to update the run state of the lockup detectors, or to have the
lockup detectors use a new sample period.

The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the
request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the
other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly.
There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that
should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what
is going on.
This patch (of 9):
Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in
/proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The
internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is
named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example:
- In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled,
it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero.
- In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors,
it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'.
- Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via
a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can
be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.
