The m68k architecture aligns only to 16-bit boundaries, which can cause
the align-to-32-bits check in __call_rcu() to trigger. Because there is
currently no known potential need for more than one low-order bit, this
commit loosens the check to 16-bit boundaries.

RCU contains code of the following forms:
ACCESS_ONCE(x)++;
ACCESS_ONCE(x) += y;
ACCESS_ONCE(x) -= y;
Now these constructs do operate correctly, but they really result in a
pair of volatile accesses, one to do the load and another to do the store.
This can be confusing, as the casual reader might well assume that (for
example) gcc might generate a memory-to-memory add instruction for each
of these three cases. In fact, gcc will do no such thing. Also, there
is a good chance that the kernel will move to separate load and store
variants of ACCESS_ONCE(), and constructs like the above could easily
confuse both people and scripts attempting to make that sort of change.
Finally, most of RCU's read-modify-write uses of ACCESS_ONCE() really
only need the store to be volatile, so that the read-modify-write form
might be misleading.
This commit therefore changes the above forms in RCU so that each instance
of ACCESS_ONCE() either does a load or a store, but not both. In a few
cases, ACCESS_ONCE() was not critical, for example, for maintaining
statisitics. In these cases, ACCESS_ONCE() has been dispensed with
entirely.

In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, tick_do_timer_cpu is constant
once boot completes. Thus, there is no need to wrap it in ACCESS_ONCE()
in code that is built only when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This commit therefore
removes the redundant ACCESS_ONCE().

The explicit local_irq_save() in __lock_task_sighand() is needed to avoid
a potential deadlock condition, as noted in a841796f11 (signal:
align __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCU). However, someone
reading the code might be forgiven for concluding that this separate
local_irq_save() was completely unnecessary. This commit therefore adds

Commit ac1bea8578 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization
for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the
kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end
up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit
call_rcu() allocation.
This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and
debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated
and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer
any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents
the recursion into the memory allocators.

The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes
exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode,
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense.
This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and
renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more
obvious what it does.

The freeing of an instance, if max data is configured, there will be

A new helper function is added that frees the individual buffers within a

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.
With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.
Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.
More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

When an instance is created, it also gets a snapshot ring buffer
allocated (with minimum of pages). But when it is deleted the snapshot
buffer is not. There was a helper function added to match the allocation
of these ring buffers to a way to free them, but it wasn't used by
the deletion of an instance. Using that helper function solves this
memory leak.

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of
the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the
first:
open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1
write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096
write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9
close(1) = 0
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
/bin/true
Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at
maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the
contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would
not append to the sysctl.
The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits
of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or
dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a
trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also
happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write
syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools.
This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior
act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file
position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done
when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is
to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy
behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to
1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

Consolidate buffer length checking with new-line/end-of-line checking.
Additionally, instead of reading user memory twice, just do the
assignment during the loop.
This change doesn't affect the potential races here. It was already
possible to read a sysctl that was in the middle of a write. In both
cases, the string will always be NULL terminated. The pre-existing race
remains a problem to be solved.

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of the
last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of the
first.
This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While
it's not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the
mind of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line
written would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the
size of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter
when writing to sysctls.
This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write
behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a
write, but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1
enables the position-respecting behavior.
The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response
to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the
new position-respecting behavior.
This patch (of 4):
The char buffer arguments are needlessly cast in weird places. Clean it

Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).
Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.
Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far
it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding
out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization
with CPU hotplug.
However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more
specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when
the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that
synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.
Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.
Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by
that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids
scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender
uses proper hotplug synchronization).
In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block
layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and
realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the
culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should
put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.
This patch (of 2):
Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI
on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that
something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who
sent the IPI and why, from this info alone.
In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.
To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload
(i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the
target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent
the IPI and help us debug this further.

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and
recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the
state of TIF_SIGPENDING.
If we ignore a signal, we also need to do flush_sigqueue_mask() for the
case when this signal is pending, this way recalc_sigpending() can
actually clear TIF_SIGPENDING and we do not "leak" the allocated
