* taskstats: use better ifdef for alignmentJeff Mahoney2011-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but the discussion centered around ia64. The issue exists on other platforms with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an unmaintainable mess. This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine whether alignment is needed. Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the taskstats structure. The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10 The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk. iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes. They're typed and have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should) identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand. The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so: +--------------------------------+ | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes | +--------------------------------+ | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */ +-+------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */ | +------------------------------+ | | pid/tgid - 4 bytes | | +------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */ | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes | +-+------------------------------+ The iotop code expects that the kernel will behave as it did then, assuming that the packet format is set in stone. The format is set in stone, but the packet offsets are not. There's nothing in the packet format that guarantees that the packet will be sent in exactly the same way. The attribute contents are set (or versioned) and the aggregate contents are set but they can be anywhere in the packet. The issue here isn't that an unaligned structure gets passed to userspace, it's that the NLA infrastructure has something of a weakness: The 4 byte attribute header may force the payload to be unaligned. The taskstats structure is created at an unaligned location and then 64-bit values are operated on inside the kernel, so the unaligned access warnings gets spewed everywhere. It's possible to use the unaligned access API to operate on the structure in the kernel but it seems like a wasted effort to work around userspace code that isn't following the packet format. Any new additions would also need the be worked around. It's a maintenance nightmare. The conclusion of the earlier discussion seemed to be "ok fine, if we have to break it, don't break it on arches that don't have the problem." Dave pointed out that the unaligned access problem doesn't only exist on ia64, but also on other 64-bit arches that don't have efficient unaligned access and it should be fixed there as well. The committed version of the patch and this addition keep with the conclusion of that discussion not to break it unnecessarily, which the pid padding and the packet padding fixes did do. x86_64 and powerpc don't suffer this problem so they shouldn't suffer the solution. Other 64-bit architectures do and will, though. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Reported-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently on 64-bit arch the user_namespace is 2096 and when being kmalloc-ed it resides on a 4k slab wasting 2003 bytes. If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128 to 64 chains the packaging becomes *much* better - the struct is 1072 bytes and the hole between is 98 bytes.

* printk: use RCU to prevent potential lock contention in kmsg_dumpHuang Ying2011-01-131-27/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation, kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too. But if there is contention on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be lost. This patch solves this issue with RCU. Because kmsg_dump() only read the list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump(). So that kmsg_dump() will never fail because of lock contention. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged usersDan Rosenberg2011-01-131-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they don't provide their own implementions. Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in kernel/softirq.c. For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g. blackfin, only on_each_cpu() is compiled.

The task being frozen may wake up and not see TIF_FREEZE while the freezer fails to notice the transition and believes the task is still stopped. This patch fixes the race by making freeze_task() always go through fake_signal_wake_up() for applicable tasks. The function goes through the target task's scheduler lock and thus guarantees that either the target sees TIF_FREEZE or try_to_freeze_task() sees TASK_RUNNING.

Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.

Currently, such users need to explicitly flush the workqueue multiple times depending on the possible depth of such chained queueing. This patch updates the queueing path such that a work item can queue further work items on the same workqueue even when WQ_DYING is set. The flush on destruction is automatically retried until the workqueue is empty. This guarantees that the workqueue is empty on destruction while allowing chained queueing. The flush retry logic whines if it takes too many retries to drain the workqueue. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
