2012-05-31c/r: prctl: add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_fileCyrill Gorcunov
When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup a former mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would point to the original executable file a process had at checkpoint time. For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced. This option takes a file descriptor which will be set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe symlink. Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe if there are no VM_EXECUTABLE vmas present for current process, simply because this feature is a special to C/R and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after that. To minimize the amount of transition the /proc/pid/exe symlink might have, this feature is implemented in one-shot manner. Thus once changed the symlink can't be changed again. This should help sysadmins to monitor the symlinks over all process running in a system. In particular one could make a snapshot of processes and ring alarm if there unexpected changes of /proc/pid/exe's in a system. Note -- this feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set and the caller must have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability granted, otherwise the request to change symlink will be rejected.

2012-05-31c/r: prctl: extend PR_SET_MM to set up more mm_struct entriesCyrill Gorcunov
During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment data and auxiliary vector. So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector. For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START | ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.

2012-05-31syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscallCyrill Gorcunov
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are shared between tasks and restore this state. The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one. One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such info considered to be not that good for security reasons. Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named 'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it -- __NR_kcmp. It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of comparison of files) two file descriptors. Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only. At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

2012-05-31pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in do_notify_parentEric W. Biederman
Using task_active_pid_ns is more robust because it works even after we have called exit_namespaces. This change allows us to have parent processes that are zombies. Normally a zombie parent processes is crazy and the last thing you would want to have but in the case of not letting the init process of a pid namespace be reaped until all of it's children are dead and reaped a zombie parent process is exactly what we want.

2012-05-31cpu: introduce clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() helperAnton Vorontsov
Many architectures clear tasks' mm_cpumask like this: read_lock(&tasklist_lock); for_each_process(p) { if (p->mm) cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(p->mm)); } read_unlock(&tasklist_lock); Depending on the context, the code above may have several problems, such as: 1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough). 2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm. This patch implements a small helper function that does things correctly, i.e.: 1. We take the task's lock while whe handle its mm (we can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep); 2. To catch exited main thread case, we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held). Also, Per Peter Zijlstra's idea, now we don't grab tasklist_lock in the new helper, instead we take the rcu read lock. We can do this because the function is called after the cpu is taken down and marked offline, so no new tasks will get this cpu set in their mm mask.

2012-05-31cred: remove task_is_dead() from __task_cred() validationOleg Nesterov
Commit 8f92054e7ca1 ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment"): add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. OK, but afaics currently this can only help wait_task_zombie() which calls __task_cred() without rcu lock. Remove this validation and change wait_task_zombie() to use task_uid() instead. This means we do rcu_read_lock() only to shut up the lockdep, but we already do the same in, say, wait_task_stopped(). task_is_dead() should die, task->exit_state != 0 means that this task has passed exit_notify(), only do_wait-like code paths should use this. Unfortunately, we can't kill task_is_dead() right now, it has already acquired buggy users in drivers/staging. The fix already exists.

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.

2012-05-29mm: remove swap token codeRik van Riel
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.

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.

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."

2012-05-24mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hashTim Bird
UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

exit_irq_thread() and task->irq_thread are needed to handle the unexpected (and unlikely) exit of irq-thread. We can use task_work instead and make this all private to kernel/irq/manage.c, cleanup plus micro-optimization. 1. rename exit_irq_thread() to irq_thread_dtor(), make it static, and move it up before irq_thread(). 2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor) at the start and task_work_cancel() before return. tracehook_notify_resume() can never play with kthreads, only do_exit()->exit_task_work() can call the callback and this is what we want. 3. remove task_struct->irq_thread and the special hook in do_exit().

2012-05-23task_work_add: generic process-context callbacksOleg Nesterov
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman: "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete implementation. Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

2012-05-23ring-buffer: Check for valid buffer before changing sizeSteven Rostedt
On some machines the number of possible CPUS is not the same as the number of CPUs that is on the machine. Ftrace uses possible_cpus to update the tracing structures but the ring buffer only allocates per cpu buffers for online CPUs when they come up. When the wakeup tracer was enabled in such a case, the ftrace code enabled all possible cpu buffers, but the code in ring_buffer_resize() did not check to see if the buffer in question was allocated. Since boot up CPUs did not match possible CPUs it caused the following crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000020 IP: [<c1097851>] ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Pid: 1387, comm: bash Not tainted 3.4.0-test+ #13 /DG965MQ EIP: 0060:[<c1097851>] EFLAGS: 00010217 CPU: 0 EIP is at ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d EAX: f5a14340 EBX: f6026b80 ECX: 00000ff4 EDX: 00000ff3 ESI: 00000000 EDI: 00000002 EBP: f4275ecc ESP: f4275eb0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 CR0: 80050033 CR2: 00000020 CR3: 34396000 CR4: 000007d0 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Process bash (pid: 1387, ti=f4274000 task=f4380cb0 task.ti=f4274000) Stack: c109cf9a f6026b98 00000162 00160f68 00000006 00160f68 00000002 f4275ef0 c109d013 f4275ee8 c123b72a c1c0bf00 c1cc81dc 00000005 f4275f98 00000007 f4275f70 c109d0c7 7700000e 75656b61 00000070 f5e90900 f5c4e198 00000301 Call Trace: [<c109cf9a>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x115/0x1e9 [<c109d013>] tracing_set_tracer+0x18e/0x1e9 [<c123b72a>] ? _copy_from_user+0x30/0x46 [<c109d0c7>] tracing_set_trace_write+0x59/0x7f [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c11f8732>] ? security_file_permission+0x27/0x2b [<c10eaacd>] ? rw_verify_area+0xcf/0xf2 [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c109d06e>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x1e9/0x1e9 [<c10ead77>] vfs_write+0x8b/0xe3 [<c10ebead>] ? fget_light+0x30/0x81 [<c10eaf54>] sys_write+0x42/0x63 [<c1834fbf>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 This happens with the latency tracer as the ftrace code updates the saved max buffer via its cpumask and not with a global setting. Adding a check in ring_buffer_resize() to make sure the buffer being resized exists, fixes the problem.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled for x86 and MIPS currently. On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated assumptions about the x86 exception table format. While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for rdmsr_safe() et al. All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those, you'll know whom to blame!"

2012-05-23Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"Jiri Olsa
This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad > though. > > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them > where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong' > events. > > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.
