Instead of setting child_reaper and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE one way
for the system init process, and another way for pid namespace
init processes test pid->nr == 1 and use the same code for both.
For the global init this results in SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE being set
much earlier in the initialization process.
This is a small cleanup and it paves the way for allowing unshare and
enter of the pid namespace as that path like our global init also will
not set CLONE_NEWPID.

Track the number of pids in the proc hash table. When the number of
pids goes to 0 schedule work to unmount the kernel mount of proc.
Move the mount of proc into alloc_pid when we allocate the pid for
init.
Remove the surprising calls of pid_ns_release proc in fork and
proc_flush_task. Those code paths really shouldn't know about proc
namespace implementation details and people have demonstrated several
times that finding and understanding those code paths is difficult and
non-obvious.
Because of the call path detach pid is alwasy called with the
rtnl_lock held free_pid is not allowed to sleep, so the work to
unmounting proc is moved to a work queue. This has the side benefit
of not blocking the entire world waiting for the unnecessary
rcu_barrier in deactivate_locked_super.
In the process of making the code clear and obvious this fixes a bug
reported by Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> where we would leak a
mount of proc during clone(CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_NEWNET) if copy_pid_ns
succeeded and copy_net_ns failed.

The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns
aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of
cache line misses with the practical difference that
ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life.
Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial
to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace.
So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can.
In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the
process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect.

This was always racy, but 268720903f
"uprobes: Rework register_for_each_vma() to make it O(n)" should be
blamed anyway, it made everything worse and I didn't notice.
register/unregister call build_map_info() and then do install/remove
breakpoint for every mm which mmaps inode/offset. This can obviously
race with fork()->dup_mmap() in between and we can miss the child.
uprobe_register() could be easily fixed but unregister is much worse,
the new mm inherits "int3" from parent and there is no way to detect
this if uprobe goes away.
So this patch simply adds percpu_down_read/up_read around dup_mmap(),
and percpu_down_write/up_write into register_for_each_vma().
This adds 2 new hooks into dup_mmap() but we can kill uprobe_dup_mmap()
and fold it into uprobe_end_dup_mmap().

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state. If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.
cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set. Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer. If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.
This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.
Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace
vma prio_tree with an interval tree".
Changes:
- fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton
- replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a
template (including it automatically defined the interval tree
functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only
defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself
defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very
long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites
(lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously.
- make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro,
instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template.
- replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the
nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after()
which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more
consistent with the other interval tree handling functions.
The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg()
operations.
This page is used to build fragments for skbs.
Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into
single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent)
But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly
idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page
Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need
about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit
page allocator more than wanted.
This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages,
if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure.
(up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86)
This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device,
but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are
mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck
mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled.
Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments,
but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a
fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536

This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use

need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or

Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after

If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will
be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma
so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint()
which does anon_vma_prepare().
2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again,
this was needed for uprobes_state.count.
As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar,

If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.
Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().
For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.
dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.
And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.
0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()
Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return. But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns. Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).
The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().
The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.
For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate. If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.
This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh
# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.
Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default. So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:
- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.
The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.
Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).
See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.
With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]
- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.
That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.
There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.
For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.
There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]
- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.
- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
it's large enough as it is..."

In dup_task_struct(), if arch_dup_task_struct() fails, the clean up
code fails to clean up correctly. That's because the clean up
code depends on unininitalized ti->task pointer. We fix this
by making sure that the task and thread_info know about each other
before we attempt to take the error path.

This reverts commit 40af1bbdca.
It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:
- calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
mmput() always does it on its own VM. Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
you name it.
- calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
the mm struct may well be gone now.
- testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.
.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
looking for me and revert it asap. I should have caught it before I
even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat. Before
changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
sync_mm_rss().
do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
audit and other stuff. Unfortunately the kernel does this before
calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
task->clear_child_tid. So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again. As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1
This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
out of do_exit() and calls it earlier. After mm_release() there should
be no pagefaults.

The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393
int main(void)
{
int i, r;
void *m;
char buf[1024];
for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
if (m == (void *)-1)
printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
else
printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);
r = fork();
if (r == 0) {
printf("%d: successed\n", i);
return 0;
} else if (r < 0)
printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
else if (r > 0)
wait(NULL);
}
return 0;
}
Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.
It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.
The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.
The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit(). The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case.
"struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.
This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.
Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit(). But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().
Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock. This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING. Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.

This patch adds support for seccomp mode 2. Mode 2 introduces the
ability for unprivileged processes to install system call filtering
policy expressed in terms of a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program.
This program will be evaluated in the kernel for each system call
the task makes and computes a result based on data in the format
of struct seccomp_data.
A filter program may be installed by calling:
struct sock_fprog fprog = { ... };
...
prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &fprog);
The return value of the filter program determines if the system call is
allowed to proceed or denied. If the first filter program installed
allows prctl(2) calls, then the above call may be made repeatedly
by a task to further reduce its access to the kernel. All attached
programs must be evaluated before a system call will be allowed to
proceed.
Filter programs will be inherited across fork/clone and execve.
However, if the task attaching the filter is unprivileged
(!CAP_SYS_ADMIN) the no_new_privs bit will be set on the task. This
ensures that unprivileged tasks cannot attach filters that affect
privileged tasks (e.g., setuid binary).
There are a number of benefits to this approach. A few of which are
as follows:
- BPF has been exposed to userland for a long time
- BPF optimization (and JIT'ing) are well understood
- Userland already knows its ABI: system call numbers and desired
arguments
- No time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerable data accesses are possible.
- system call arguments are loaded on access only to minimize copying
required for system call policy decisions.
Mode 2 support is restricted to architectures that enable
HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER. In this patch, the primary dependency is on
syscall_get_arguments(). The full desired scope of this feature will
add a few minor additional requirements expressed later in this series.
Based on discussion, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE seem to be
the desired additional functionality.
No architectures are enabled in this patch.

Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.
This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.
The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away. So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.
Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:
a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
happens at the required address.
On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.
Special cases that are taken care include:
a. mremap
b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

Uprobes executes the original instruction at a probed location
out of line. For this, we allocate a page (per mm) upon the
first uprobe hit, in the process user address space, divide it
into slots that are used to store the actual instructions to be
singlestepped. These slots are known as xol (execution out of
line) slots.
Care is taken to ensure that the allocation is in an unmapped
area as close to the top of the user address space as possible,
with appropriate permission settings to keep selinux like
frameworks happy.
Upon a uprobe hit, a free slot is acquired, and is released
after the singlestep completes.

Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
services. Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
re-parented to PID 1. The service manager will no longer be able to
receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
reaping the children with wait(). All information about the children is
lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.
With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
created by the started services. All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
to the service manager.
Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.
As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
'ps' output:
before:
# ps afx
253 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
294 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd

819 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/imsettings-daemon
916 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
917 ? S 0:00 \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
after:
# ps afx
294 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
426 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
449 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/modem-manager

960 ? S 0:00 | \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
977 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd
This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces. PID namespaces are isolated
from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
other.
Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
activates bus services on-demand. Both need init-like capabilities to
be able to properly keep track of the services they start.
Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who
decides which signal the child should use for notification.
This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL",
the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent
doesn't control exit_signal in this case.
This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps
we should simply use SIGCHLD.
We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the
ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine.
Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.

Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit
a breakpoint or a singlestep exception.
When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe
hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit,
which will then be checked on its return to userspace path
(do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the
consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the
defined filters.
Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain
information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit,
the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so
that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups.
In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are
executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific
artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64.
Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is
executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so
that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a
uprobe.
Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn.
post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to
user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost.
Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a
singlestep is complete.
Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate
hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post
processing.
Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases
needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc.
Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the
breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well
as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended
to other instructions too.
Credits to Oleg Nesterov for suggestions/patches related to
signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

Make vfork() killable.
Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable(). If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.
However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.
Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.
NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.
However this is obviously the user-visible change. Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.
epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.
This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.
__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.
ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.
The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.
In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.
Note:
- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.
- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
make sure it can't be "lost".

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.
While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

Use evil merge to fix up grammar mistakes in Kconfig file.
Bad speling and horrible grammar (and copious swearing) is to be

expose it to users in config help texts or printouts.
Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in
exit,always rules in userspace. The kernel refuses to load such rules.
Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork())
can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED.
Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every
going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will

oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.
This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
- creating new task
- renaming a task (exec)
- set oom_score_adj
To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
output will be like this.

cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.
Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.
This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU. This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.
* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
cic_list and unlink it.
* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.
Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.
Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.
This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches
will trim them.

Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.
* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
assignment.
* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
(ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being
dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
noop.
As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.
This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is
the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
%current one).
* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
acquisition functions return %NULL.
* All users are updated. Most are trivial but
smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure
ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
patch.
* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
specification.

...
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.
This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.
This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.
This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.
* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open
coded tests with freezing().
* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing()
is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.
-v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment
system_freezing_cnt. Fixed.

This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and
currently buggy. The counter was intended to be per-process but it's
currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing
it to underflow.
The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that
share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to
future memory freeing. The counter could be fixed to represent all
threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since:
- it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the
victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause
future memory freeing, and
- there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just
because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

Add two fields to task_struct.
1) account dirtied pages in the individual tasks, for accuracy
2) per-task balance_dirty_pages() call intervals, for flexibility
The balance_dirty_pages() call interval (ie. nr_dirtied_pause) will
scale near-sqrt to the safety gap between dirty pages and threshold.
The main problem of per-task nr_dirtied is, if 1k+ tasks start dirtying
pages at exactly the same time, each task will be assigned a large
initial nr_dirtied_pause, so that the dirty threshold will be exceeded
long before each task reached its nr_dirtied_pause and hence call
balance_dirty_pages().
The solution is to watch for the number of pages dirtied on each CPU in
between the calls into balance_dirty_pages(). If it exceeds ratelimit_pages
(3% dirty threshold), force call balance_dirty_pages() for a chance to
set bdi->dirty_exceeded. In normal situations, this safeguarding
condition is not expected to trigger at all.
On the sqrt in dirty_poll_interval():
It will serve as an initial guess when dirty pages are still in the
freerun area.
When dirty pages are floating inside the dirty control scope [freerun,
limit], a followup patch will use some refined dirty poll interval to
get the desired pause time.
thresh-dirty (MB) sqrt
1 16
2 22
4 32
8 45
16 64
32 90
64 128
128 181
256 256
512 362
1024 512
The above table means, given 1MB (or 1GB) gap and the dd tasks polling
balance_dirty_pages() on every 16 (or 512) pages, the dirty limit won't
be exceeded as long as there are less than 16 (or 512) concurrent dd's.
So sqrt naturally leads to less overheads and more safe concurrent tasks
for large memory servers, which have large (thresh-freerun) gaps.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.
Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.
The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.
Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
__node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than
that there are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

If the new child is traced, do_fork() adds the pending SIGSTOP.
It assumes that either it is traced because of auto-attach or the
tracer attached later, in both cases sigaddset/set_thread_flag is
correct even if SIGSTOP is already pending.
Now that we have PTRACE_SEIZE this is no longer right in the latter
case. If the tracer does PTRACE_SEIZE after copy_process() makes the
child visible the queued SIGSTOP is wrong.
We could check PT_SEIZED bit and change ptrace_attach() to set both
PT_PTRACED and PT_SEIZED bits simultaneously but see the next patch,
we need to know whether this child was auto-attached or not anyway.
So this patch simply moves this code to ptrace_init_task(), this
way we can never race with ptrace_attach().

fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).
fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.
It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.

At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly
just add an extra layer of obfuscation. Although they have comments,
without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their
assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve. To mainline
kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around.
This patch kills the following clone and exec related tracehooks.
tracehook_prepare_clone()
tracehook_finish_clone()
tracehook_report_clone()
tracehook_report_clone_complete()
tracehook_unsafe_exec()
The changes are mostly trivial - logic is moved to the caller and
comments are merged and adjusted appropriately.
The only exception is in check_unsafe_exec() where LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE*
are OR'd to bprm->unsafe instead of setting it, which produces the
same result as the field is always zero on entry. It also tests
p->ptrace instead of (p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED) for consistency, which
also gives the same result.
This doesn't introduce any behavior change.
