* vmcoreinfo: add "VMCOREINFO_" to all the call for vmcoreinfo_append_str()Ken'ichi Ohmichi2008-02-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For readability, all the calls to vmcoreinfo_append_str() are changed to macros having a prefix "VMCOREINFO_".

* vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the sizeKen'ichi Ohmichi2008-02-071-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. This patch: VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not be used exclusively for typedefs.

* Handle pid namespaces in cgroups codePavel Emelyanov2008-02-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's one place that works with task pids - its the "tasks" file in cgroups. The read/write handlers assume, that the pid values go to/come from the user space and thus it is a virtual pid, i.e. the pid as it is seen from inside a namespace. Tune the code accordingly.

* hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixesPaul Jackson2008-02-071-26/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's [PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However, it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting. Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect. The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true. Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be changed to cgroup_attach_task(). A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant, as the line of code it had commented, namely: set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags); is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code. Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant. Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement. Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments. Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

* hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parentCliff Wickman2008-02-072-45/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus in a cpuset. Currently, the disabled (cpu-less) cpuset inherits the cpus of its parent, which is incorrect because it may then overlap its cpu-exclusive sibling. Tasks of an empty cpuset should be moved to the cpuset which is the parent of their current cpuset. Or if the parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent, etc. And the empty cpuset should be released (if it is flagged notify_on_release). Depends on the cgroup_scan_tasks() function (proposed by David Rientjes) to iterate through all tasks in the cpu-less cpuset. We are deliberately avoiding a walk of the tasklist.

* memory cgroup enhancements: add- pre_destroy() handlerKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2008-02-071-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a handler "pre_destroy" to cgroup_subsys. It is called before cgroup_rmdir() checks all subsys's refcnt. I think this is useful for subsys which have some extra refs even if there are no tasks in cgroup. By adding pre_destroy(), the kernel keeps the rule "destroy() against subsystem is called only when refcnt=0." and allows css ref to be used by other objects than tasks.

* oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dumpDavid Rientjes2008-02-071-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu, oom_adj score, and name. This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which rogue task caused it. It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping data they may not desire. If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same cgroup.

* system timer: fix crash in <100Hz system timerDavid Fries2008-02-061-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer less than 100Hz. The problem is x/(HZ/USER_HZ) and related. Now x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ. I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host. I found that the kernel paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places. Here is the patch. The base git was updated today 01-05-2008. I went for a 20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz. With this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table. This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.

* get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet2008-02-062-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

Version: 2.6.24-rc2, File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432 -------------------------------------------------------------------- static ssize_t sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf) { struct clocksource *src; char *curr = buf; spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock); list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) { curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name); } spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock); curr += sprintf(curr, "\n"); return curr - buf; } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE. I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel (Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt) Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources() buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

* remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz2008-02-061-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

* taskstats scaled time cleanupMichael Neuling2008-02-061-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime. This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are both NOPs. Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

* pm qos infrastructure and interfaceMark Gross2008-02-052-1/+426
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter, and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos expectations of processes. This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on one of the parameters. Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as the initial set of pm_qos parameters. The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init() and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to abuse. For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values held in the parameter list elements. >From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple: pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value): Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value): Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered. pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name): Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement. >From user mode: Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register its parameter requirements in the following way: To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput] As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system call. To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32 value to the open device node. This translates to a pm_qos_update_requirement call. To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device node.

* capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding setSerge E. Hallyn2008-02-054-43/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow. Currently cap_bset is per-system. It can be manipulated through sysctl, but only init can add capabilities. Root can remove capabilities. By default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP. This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are enabled. It is inherited at fork from parent. Noone can add elements, CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them. One example use of this is to start a safer container. For instance, until device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container. The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately. It will only affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s. It also does not affect pI, and exec() does not constrain pI'. So to really start a shell with no way of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD); cap_t cap = cap_get_proc(); cap_value_t caparray[1]; caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD; cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP); cap_set_proc(cap); cap_free(cap); The following test program will get and set the bounding set (but not pI). For instance ./bset get (lists capabilities in bset) ./bset drop cap_net_raw (starts shell with new bset) (use capset, setuid binary, or binary with file capabilities to try to increase caps) ************************************************************ cap_bound.c ************************************************************ #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <linux/capability.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #ifndef PR_CAPBSET_READ #define PR_CAPBSET_READ 23 #endif #ifndef PR_CAPBSET_DROP #define PR_CAPBSET_DROP 24 #endif int usage(char *me) { printf("Usage: %s get\n", me); printf(" %s drop <capability>\n", me); return 1; } #define numcaps 32 char *captable[numcaps] = { "cap_chown", "cap_dac_override", "cap_dac_read_search", "cap_fowner", "cap_fsetid", "cap_kill", "cap_setgid", "cap_setuid", "cap_setpcap", "cap_linux_immutable", "cap_net_bind_service", "cap_net_broadcast", "cap_net_admin", "cap_net_raw", "cap_ipc_lock", "cap_ipc_owner", "cap_sys_module", "cap_sys_rawio", "cap_sys_chroot", "cap_sys_ptrace", "cap_sys_pacct", "cap_sys_admin", "cap_sys_boot", "cap_sys_nice", "cap_sys_resource", "cap_sys_time", "cap_sys_tty_config", "cap_mknod", "cap_lease", "cap_audit_write", "cap_audit_control", "cap_setfcap" }; int getbcap(void) { int comma=0; unsigned long i; int ret; printf("i know of %d capabilities\n", numcaps); printf("capability bounding set:"); for (i=0; i<numcaps; i++) { ret = prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, i); if (ret < 0) perror("prctl"); else if (ret==1) printf("%s%s", (comma++) ?

It does drain all pages not only those of the local processor. - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages() disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to disable interrupts. - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining of processor local pages is may not the right approach if software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages then we can make drain_pages() static.

* timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi2008-02-053-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.
