* flag parameters: pacceptUlrich Drepper2008-07-241-0/+1

It adds a new syscall paccept. This syscall differs from accept in that it adds (at the userlevel) two additional parameters: - a signal mask - a flags value The flags parameter can be used to set flag like SOCK_CLOEXEC. This is imlpemented here as well. Some people argued that this is a property which should be inherited from the file desriptor for the server but this is against POSIX. Additionally, we really want the signal mask parameter as well (similar to pselect, ppoll, etc). So an interface change in inevitable. The flag value is the same as for socket and socketpair. I think diverging here will only create confusion. Similar to the filesystem interfaces where the use of the O_* constants differs, it is acceptable here. The signal mask is handled as for pselect etc. The mask is temporarily installed for the thread and removed before the call returns. I modeled the code after pselect. If there is a problem it's likely also in pselect. For architectures which use socketcall I maintained this interface instead of adding a system call. The symmetry shouldn't be broken.

* generic irqs: handle failure of irqchip->set_type in setup_irqUwe Kleine-König2008-07-241-22/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | set_type returns an int indicating success or failure, but up to now setup_irq ignores that. In my case this resulted in a machine hang: gpio-keys requested IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, but arm/ns9xxx can only trigger on one direction so set_type didn't touch the configuration which happens do default to a level sensitiveness and returned -EINVAL. setup_irq ignored that and unmasked the irq. This resulted in an endless triggering of the gpio-key interrupt service routine which effectively killed the machine. With this patch applied setup_irq propagates the error to the caller. Note that before in the case chip && !chip->set_type && !chip->name a NULL pointer was feed to printk. This is fixed, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby). The generic RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states. - Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while timer IRQs are disabled. - Triggered by a command line parameter. By default nothing even vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give you a brief STR test during system boot. (Or you may need to use "test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.) This isn't without problems. It fires early enough during boot that for example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved. The workaround in those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

* security: filesystem capabilities refactor kernel codeAndrew G. Morgan2008-07-241-117/+221
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To date, we've tried hard to confine filesystem support for capabilities to the security modules. This has left a lot of the code in kernel/capability.c in a state where it looks like it supports something that filesystem support for capabilities actually suppresses when the LSM security/commmoncap.c code runs. What is left is a lot of code that uses sub-optimal locking in the main kernel With this change we refactor the main kernel code and make it explicit which locks are needed and that the only remaining kernel races in this area are associated with non-filesystem capability code.

* hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings ↵Mel Gorman2008-07-241-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | until fork() This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is called. The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after this patch are; 1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until it forks(). 2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as might occur when fork()ing to exec(). 3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough huge pages being free in the pool. 4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper and at fault time otherwise. Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

Currently we depend on the stop_machine to provide nescessesary synchronization for the cpu_active_map updates. As Dmitry Adamushko pointed this is fragile and is not much clearer than the previous scheme. In other words we do not want to depend on the internal stop machine operation here. So make the synchronization rules clear by doing synchronize_sched() after clearing out cpu active bit. Tested on quad-Core2 with: while true; do for i in 1 2 3; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done for i in 1 2 3; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done done and stress -c 200 No lockdep, preempt or other complaints.

| * | | cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment ↵Max Krasnyansky2008-07-185-70/+80

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).

These are patterned after the node_to_cpumask_ptr macros. In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used. The cpumask_of_cpu_map is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for cpumask_of_cpu(). The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space needed to pass the cpumask_t value. If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable. Afterwards, the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value. The compiler will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code. A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c: case SVC_POOL_PERCPU: { unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx]; cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu); *oldmask = current->cpus_allowed; set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask); return 1; } case SVC_POOL_PERNODE: { unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx]; node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node); *oldmask = current->cpus_allowed; set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The problem is that to touch the softlockup watchdog, the cpu_clock code has to be called which could involve multiple cpu locks and can lead to a hard hang if one of the locks is held by a processor that is not going to return anytime soon (such as could be the case with kgdb or perhaps even with some other kind of exception). This patch causes the public version of the touch_softlockup_watchdog() to defer the cpu clock access to a later point. The test case for this problem is to use the following kernel config options: CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100I100000" It should be noted that kgdb test suite and these options were not available until 2.6.26-rc2, so it was necessary to patch the kgdb test suite during the bisection. I would consider this patch a regression fix because the problem first appeared in commit 27ec4407790d075c325e1f4da0a19c56953cce23 when some logic was added to try to periodically sync the clocks. It was possible to work around this particular problem by simply not performing the sync anytime the system was in a critical context. This was ok until commit 3e51f33fcc7f55e6df25d15b55ed10c8b4da84cd, which added config option CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and some multi-cpu locks to sync the clocks. It became clear that accessing this code from an nmi was the source of the lockups. Avoiding the access to the low level clock code from an code inside the NMI processing also fixed the problem with the 27ec44... commit.

That works fine most of the time when idle timeouts are within 60 seconds. But when an idle timeout is beyond 60 seconds, jiffies is updated with a jump of more than 60 seconds, which causes a jump in cpu-clock of more than 60 seconds, triggering a false positive.

The full spectrum of configurability is supported: boot option, sysctl option and Kconfig option. it's default-disabled.
