Stephane Eranian dd9c086d9f perf: Fix ring_buffer perf_output_space() boundary calculation
This patch fixes a flaw in perf_output_space(). In case the size
of the space needed is bigger than the actual buffer size, there
may be situations where the function would return true (i.e.,
there is space) when it should not. head > offset due to
rounding of the masking logic.

The problem can be tested by activating BTS on Intel processors.
A BTS record can be as big as 16 pages. The following command
fails:

  $ perf record -m 4 -c 1 -e branches:u my_test_program

You will get a buffer corruption with this. Perf report won't be
able to parse the perf.data.

The fix is to first check that the requested space is smaller
than the buffer size. If so, then the masking logic will work
fine. If not, then there is no chance the record can be saved
and it will be gracefully handled by upper code layers.

[ In v2, we also make the logic for the writable more explicit by
  renaming it to rb->overwrite because it tells whether or not the
  buffer can overwrite its tail (suggested by PeterZ). ]

Tejun Heo 383efcd000 sched: Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s
try_to_wake_up_local() should only be invoked to wake up another
task in the same runqueue and BUG_ON()s are used to enforce the
rule. Missing try_to_wake_up_local() can stall workqueue
execution but such stalls are likely to be finite either by
another work item being queued or the one blocked getting
unblocked.  There's no reason to trigger BUG while holding rq
lock crashing the whole system.

Jesper Derehag 2b5faa4c55 connector: Added coredumping event to the process connector
Process connector can now also detect coredumping events.

Main aim of patch is get notified at start of coredumping, instead of
having to wait for it to finish and then being notified through EXIT
event.

Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get
notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not
necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the
order of minutes depending on size of coredump, piping and so on.

Namhyung Kim d610d98b5d perf: Generate EXIT event only once per task context

Namhyung Kim 778141e3cf perf: Reset hwc->last_period on sw clock events
When cpu/task clock events are initialized, their sampling
frequencies are converted to have a fixed value.  However it
missed to update the hwc->last_period which was set to 1 for
initial sampling frequency calibration.

Because this hwc->last_period value is used as a period in
perf_swevent_ hrtime(), every recorded sample will have an
incorrected period of 1.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 8090282265 tracing: Keep overwrite in sync between regular and snapshot buffers
Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could
swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode
and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the
option flag states otherwise.

Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync.

Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from
synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the
tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to
be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted.

Kees Cook 2ca39528c0 signal: always clear sa_restorer on execve
When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is
not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to
children.  This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by
examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction().

Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only
matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed
until the exec).  But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer,
this is where it should be fixed.

Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written
since this would be the only use.  Instead, we use
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places.

Example of the leak before applying this patch:

  $ cat /proc/$$/maps
  ...

Eric W. Biederman e66eded830 userns: Don't allow CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_FS
Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a
different user namespace.  There doesn't seem to be any point, and to
allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace
reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that
reference count on practically every call to fork.

So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct
acrosss processes in different user namespaces.  We already disallow
other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this
should be no real burden in practice.

This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user
namespaces sharing an fs_struct.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 740466bc89 tracing: Fix free of probe entry by calling call_rcu_sched()
Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().

Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().

Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 2721e72dd1 tracing: Fix race in snapshot swapping
Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
temp buffer to assign in the swap.

Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.

New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.

I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports
one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

Lai Jiangshan eb2834285c workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in wq_unbind_fn()
Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has
a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing.  The
problem is two-fold.

* wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself
  to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was
  only single pool.  With multiple pools, only the pool which is
  running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have
  such kick-off.  The other pool could stall when its busy workers
  block.

* The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of
  the two pools in succession without initiating work execution
  inbetween.  Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex
  which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to
  stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work
  items to release memory.  This is almost purely theoretical tho.

Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND /
POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off
execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one.

Mark Rutland a7dc19b865 clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timers
Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.

This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
preventing this problem.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) c9960e4854 tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocated
To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot
file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already
been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the
snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer
now writes to what was the snapshot buffer.

To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file.

To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written
into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns
-EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to
do nothing and return success.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) d8741e2e88 tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is empty
When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace
header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot
feature.

Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated
or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast
"swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might
fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might
fail under tight memory constraints.

Here's what it looked like before:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0   #P:4
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |

Here's what it looks like now:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is freed *
 #
 # Snapshot commands:
 # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
 #                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate)
 #                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
 #                       is not a '0' or '1')

Linus Torvalds e3b59518c1 Merge branch 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq fixes and cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Commit e5ab012c32 ("nohz: Make tick_nohz_irq_exit() irq safe") is
  the first commit in the series and the minimal necessary bugfix, which
  needs to go back into stable.

  The remanining commits enforce irq disabling in irq_exit(), sanitize
  the hardirq/softirq preempt count transition and remove a bunch of no
  longer necessary conditionals."

I personally love getting rid of the very subtle and confusing
IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET thing.  Even apart from the whole "more lines removed
than added" thing.

 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

Jason Wessel a37372f6c3 kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
while using the kernel debug shell.  If you try to define a new macro
while the kernel debugger is active it will oops.  The debug shell
macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()
is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time
that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you
actually activate the kernel debugger.

Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive
guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have

still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we

John Blackwood f7c82d5a3c kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion
When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.

The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Linus Torvalds ee89f81252 Merge branch 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
 "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9.  It was delayed a few days
  since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into
  current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide
  by zero, will report separately).  In any case, it contains:

   - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek.

   - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.

   - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug
     flushing.

   - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using
     io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait
     properly.

   - Various little fixes.

  You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to
  fix up"

Frederic Weisbecker 4cd5d1115c irq: Don't re-enable interrupts at the end of irq_exit
Commit 74eed0163d
"irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled"
restore interrupts flags in the end of irq_exit() for archs
that don't define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED.

However always returning from irq_exit() with interrupts
disabled should not be a problem for these archs. Prior to
this commit this was already happening anytime we processed
pending softirqs anyway.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Cyrill Gorcunov 1e142b29e2 kcmp: make it depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
<asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).

But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
config-x86.  Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.

This patch exports a PG_hwpoison into vmcoreinfo when
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is defined.  "makedumpfile" needs to read

We introduce a function into "makedumpfile" to exclude hwpoison page from
vmcore dump.  In order to introduce this function, PG_hwpoison flag have
to export into vmcoreinfo.

Atsushi Kumagai 8d67091ec6 kexec: add the values related to buddy system for filtering free pages.
tAdd adds the values related to buddy system to vmcoreinfo data so that
makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can filter out all free pages with
the new logic.

It's faster than the current logic because it can distinguish free page
by analyzing page structure at the same time as filtering for other
unnecessary pages (e.g.  anonymous page).

OTOH, the current logic has to trace free_list to distinguish free pages
while analyzing page structure to filter out other unnecessary pages.

The new logic uses the fact that buddy page is marked by _mapcount ==
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE.  But, _mapcount shares its memory with other
fields for SLAB/SLUB when PG_slab is set, so we need to check if PG_slab
is set or not before looking up _mapcount value.  And we can get the
order of buddy system from private field.  To sum it up, the values
below are required for this logic.

Required values:
  - OFFSET(page._mapcount)
  - OFFSET(page.private)
  - NUMBER(PG_slab)
  - NUMBER(PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE)

Changelog from v1 to v2:
1. remove SIZE(pageflags)
  The new logic was changed after I sent v1 patch.
  Accordingly, SIZE(pageflags) has been unnecessary for makedumpfile.

What's makedumpfile:
  makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages
  for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets
  the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only
  for dump filtering.

inside, which would result in stray blank line on non-x86 boxes.

Andrey Vagin 66dd34ad31 signal: allow to send any siginfo to itself
The idea is simple.  We need to get the siginfo for each signal on
checkpointing dump, and then return it back on restore.

The first problem is that the kernel doesn't report complete siginfos to
userspace.  In a signal handler the kernel strips SI_CODE from siginfo.
When a siginfo is received from signalfd, it has a different format with
fixed sizes of fields.  The interface of signalfd was extended.  If a
signalfd is created with the flag SFD_RAW, it returns siginfo in a raw
format.

rt_sigqueueinfo looks suitable for restoring signals, but it can't send
siginfo with a positive si_code, because these codes are reserved for
the kernel.  In the real world each person has right to do anything with
himself, so I think a process should able to send any siginfo to itself.

This patch:

The kernel prevents sending of siginfo with positive si_code, because
these codes are reserved for kernel.  I think we can allow a task to
send such a siginfo to itself.  This operation should not be dangerous.

This functionality is required for restoring signals in
checkpoint/restart.

Oleg Nesterov 7ff6764061 usermodehelper: cleanup/fix __orderly_poweroff() && argv_free()
__orderly_poweroff() does argv_free() if call_usermodehelper_fns()
returns -ENOMEM.  As Lucas pointed out, this can be wrong if -ENOMEM was
not triggered by the failing call_usermodehelper_setup(), in this case
both __orderly_poweroff() and argv_cleanup() can do kfree().

Kill argv_cleanup() and change __orderly_poweroff() to call argv_free()
unconditionally like do_coredump() does.  This info->cleanup() is not
needed (and wrong) since 6c0c0d4d "fix bug in orderly_poweroff() which
did the UMH_NO_WAIT => UMH_WAIT_EXEC change, we can rely on the fact
that CLONE_VFORK can't return until do_execve() succeeds/fails.

Steven Rostedt db05021d49 ftrace: Update the kconfig for DYNAMIC_FTRACE
The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:

 "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"

This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
presentations.

Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over
five years.

Time to bring the text up to the current decade.

Thomas Gleixner 46c498c2cd stop_machine: Mark per cpu stopper enabled early
commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
following regression:

Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
notifier.

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
...
stop_machine()

The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
following working order:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
stop_machine()

But Konrad and Sander have observed:

CPU0				CPU1
cpu_up
				cpu online
unpark_threads()
  wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stop_machine()
				stopper thread runs
				  stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;

Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.

Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
before waking the thread.

This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.

Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
providing the information to decode this issue.

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

We use sched_clock() to perform and fixup the cputime
accounting. However we are calling it with preemption enabled
from the read side, which trigger the bug above.

To fix this up, use local_clock() instead. It takes care of
preemption and also provide a more reliable clock source. This
is welcome for this kind of statistic that is widely relied on
in userspace.

Tang Chen aa00d89c27 sched: do not use cpu_to_node() to find an offlined cpu's node.
If a cpu is offline, its nid will be set to -1, and cpu_to_node(cpu)
will return -1.  As a result, cpumask_of_node(nid) will return NULL.  In
this case, find_next_bit() in for_each_cpu will get a NULL pointer and
cause panic.

Here is a call trace:
  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>
    select_fallback_rq+0x71/0x190
    try_to_wake_up+0x2cb/0x2f0
    wake_up_process+0x15/0x20

    hrtimer_interrupt+0x106/0x280
    smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x69/0x99
    apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80

There is a hrtimer process sleeping, whose cpu has already been
offlined.  When it is waken up, it tries to find another cpu to run, and
get a -1 nid.  As a result, cpumask_of_node(-1) returns NULL, and causes
ernel panic.

This patch fixes this problem by judging if the nid is -1.  If nid is
not -1, a cpu on the same node will be picked.  Else, a online cpu on
another node will be picked.

Nathan Zimmer bbbfeac92b sched: Fix /proc/sched_debug failure on very very large systems
On systems with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/sched_debug
fails because we are trying to push all the data into a single
kmalloc buffer.

The issue is on these very large machines all the data will not
fit in 4mb.

A better solution is to not us the single_open mechanism but to
provide our own seq_operations and treat each cpu as an
individual record.

The output should be identical to the previous version.

Linus Torvalds 2ef14f465b Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
  developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
  one would like.

  The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
  by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
  create initial page tables.  In particular, rather than estimating how
  much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
  memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
  now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
  a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.

  This has several advantages:

  1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
     very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
     early in the kernel startup).

  2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
     from above the 4 GB limit.  This allows kdump to work on very large
     systems.

  3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
     equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
     by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.

  The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.

  Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
  were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
  __phys_addr()/__pa()."
