While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from
a dying "ps" program, we found following problem.
clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This
support includes two features.
One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the
TID value.
One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created
thread dies.
The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone()
time.
kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid.
At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user
provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one.
As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user
memory in forked processes.
Following sequence could happen:
1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that
glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
...) syscall
2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a
location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context
(&THREAD_SELF->tid)
3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program.
current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value)
4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits,
kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by
current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() :
if (tsk->clear_child_tid
&& !(tsk->flags & PF_SIGNALED)
&& atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) > 1) {
u32 __user * tidptr = tsk->clear_child_tid;
tsk->clear_child_tid = NULL;
/*
* We don't check the error code - if userspace has
* not set up a proper pointer then tough luck.
*/
<< here >> put_user(0, tidptr);
sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
}
5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid
users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program
could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped
file)
If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the
new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with
unexpected effects.
Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

Use CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, not CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG
When hot-unpluging a cpu, it will leak memory allocated at cpu hotplug,
but only if CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, which is default to n.

Background:
Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up
recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace.
The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler
determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced
recently with commit:
commit 68e74568fbe5854952355e942acca51f138096d9
Date: Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030
sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t.
The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to
quickly determine a best-estimate target. Races between the
pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the
original code because we would detect and return "0" when this
occured. The design was predicated on the *effective*
atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the
cpus_allowed and the vec->mask.
Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is
accessed multiple times. This introduces a subtle race, the
result of which means we can have a result that returns "1",
but with an empty bitmap.
*) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the
entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a
per-word basis which is all the design required to work.
Implementation:
Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a
stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has
been encountered and continue processing in the event that the
race is hit. This renders the removal race as if the priority
bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the
algorithm to execute correctly.

In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to
inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for
PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay
instrumentation (bootchart) app.
This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every
clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit,
after the task's counters have been closed.
This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap
and through the new attr.task field.

Currently the counter value returned by read() is the value of
the parent counter, to which child counters are only fed back
on child exit.
Thus read() can return rather erratic (and meaningless) numbers
depending on the state of the child processes.
Change this by always iterating the full child hierarchy on
read() and sum all counters.

The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a
structure to user space") fixed a real bug. This one just cleans up the
copy from user space to that gcc can generate better code for it (and so
that it looks the same as the later copy back to user space).

Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.
[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
does really stupid things. ]

After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix

doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can
wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings.
- set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
- clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
- rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.

About a half events are missing when we splice_read
from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore
the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph
tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on
the ring buffer.
The same problem appears with ftrace_dump()
Example of an output before this patch:
1) | ktime_get_real() {
1) 2.846 us | read_hpet();
1) 4.558 us | }
1) 6.195 us | }
After this patch:
0) | ktime_get_real() {
0) | getnstimeofday() {
0) 1.960 us | read_hpet();
0) 3.597 us | }
0) 5.196 us | }

When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs
to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of
the current function entry.
In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current
entry before going ahead in the ring buffer.
However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the
ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers.
The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible
racy overwriting.
Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it.

Since the trace_printk may use pointers to the format fields
in the buffer, they are exported via debugfs/tracing/printk_formats.
This is used by utilities that read the ring buffer in binary format.
It helps the utilities map the address of the format in the binary
buffer to what the printf format looks like.
Unfortunately, the way the output code works, it exports the address
of the pointer to the format address, and not the format address
itself. This makes the file totally useless in trying to figure
out what format string a binary address belongs to.

Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.
[Does change the ABI a little, but I see no other way out]

commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all
hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution
timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption
that the callback happens in softirq context.
Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers
together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.

irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().
Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.
Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

Writing a zero length string to sys/.../current_clocksource will cause
a NULL pointer dereference if the clock events system is in one shot

commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
nr_uninterruptible on thaw.
Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
clear it after we return from frozen state.

The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on
CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a
scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of
the time we offlined the CPU.
Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead.
Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online
CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the
stale update time value.

When profile= is used, a large buffer is allocated early at
boot. This can be larger than what the page allocator can
provide so it prints a warning. However, the caller is able to
handle the situation so this patch suppresses the warning.
