| * PM / Hibernate: Fix preallocating of memoryRafael J. Wysocki2010-02-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is not too large. It allocates more memory than necessary for creating the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs, or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate from. Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages, free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing the job on all systems without highmem. Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by using the right condition for the termination of the loop in free_unnecessary_pages(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The thing is that we deliver FORK events to the child process' event, which at that time will be PERF_EVENT_STATE_INACTIVE because the child won't be scheduled in (we're in the middle of fork). Solve this twice, change the event state filter to exclude only disabled (STATE_OFF) or worse, and deliver FORK events to the current (parent).

When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on resuming or detaching from a debug session. Sequence of events in the problem case: 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior to a call to kgdb_handle_exception() 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() --> __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0; 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock" update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES" here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) --> __touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be set to 100s.) ... scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... } 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large jump and trips the softlockup warning. update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" = 180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... } note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp(this_cpu)" Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec? When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of get_timestamp() is: get_timestamp(this_cpu) -->cpu_clock(this_cpu) -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu) -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now) The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now" value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored. The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

| * | | x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint APIJason Wessel2010-01-301-0/+3

The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.

When the kernel is stopped by kgdb inside code which holds watchdog_lock then kgdb dead locks in clocksource_resume_watchdog(). clocksource_resume_watchdog() is called from kbdg via clocksource_touch_watchdog() to avoid that the clock source watchdog marks TSC unstable after the kernel has been stopped. Solve this by replacing spin_lock with a spin_trylock and just return in case the lock is held. Not resetting the watchdog might result in TSC becoming marked unstable, but that's an acceptable penalty for using kgdb. The timekeeping is anyway easily screwed up by kgdb when the system uses either jiffies or a clock source which wraps in short intervals (e.g. pm_timer wraps about every 4.6s), so we really do not have to worry about that occasional TSC marked unstable side effect. The second caller of clocksource_resume_watchdog() is clocksource_resume(). The trylock is safe here as well because the system is UP at this point, interrupts are disabled and nothing else can hold watchdog_lock().
