| * kdb,kgdb: Allow arbitrary kgdb magic knock sequencesJason Wessel2011-08-011-8/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first packet that gdb sends when the kernel is in kdb mode seems to change with every release of gdb. Instead of continuing to add many different gdb packets, change kdb to automatically look for any thing that looks like a gdb packet. Example 1 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $D#44+ Example 2 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $3#33 The second one should re-enter kdb's shell right away and is purely a test.

| * kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -> gdbJason Wessel2011-08-014-21/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip. When gdb initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections. Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur on the initial connect.

This is particularly important for architectures adding device tree support because the current implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt controllers. This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it, irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new ARM device tree board support. PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It is still missing some features before it can replace the virq infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain. SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree and is unaffected by this change.

| * | | | | cgroupfs: use init_cred when populating new cgroupfs mounteparis@redhat2011-06-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently found that in some configurations SELinux was blocking the ability for cgroupfs to be mounted. The reason for this is because cgroupfs creates files and directories during the get_sb() call and also uses lookup_one_len() during that same get_sb() call. This is a problem since the security subsystem cannot initialize the superblock and the inodes in that filesystem until after the get_sb() call returns. Thus we leave the inodes in an unitialized state during get_sb(). For the vast majority of filesystems this is not an issue, but since cgroupfs uses lookup_on_len() it does search permission checks on the directories in the path it walks. Since the inode security state is not set up SELinux does these checks as if the inodes were 'unlabeled.' Many 'normal' userspace process do not have permission to interact with unlabeled inodes. The solution presented here is to do the permission checks of path walk and inode creation as the kernel rather than as the task that called mount. Since the kernel has permission to read/write/create unlabeled inodes the get_sb() call will complete successfully and the SELinux code will be able to initialize the superblock and those inodes created during the get_sb() call. This appears to be the same solution used by other filesystems such as devtmpfs to solve the same issue and should thus have no negative impact on other LSMs which currently work.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and lose the info. panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at present we have to delay at least 1 second. Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.." message).

If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

| * | | | | mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & youngBenjamin Herrenschmidt2011-07-251-2/+2

It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time, and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG option itself, and can be compiled out independently of the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments. Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into sched_rt_avg_update(). Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time, this patch do it independently using another field, prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

This information is acquired through the run_delay field of delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a runqueue but not running. Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the memory area address containing information about steal time This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure, and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

| * | | | | | | KVM: Add compat ioctl for KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASKAlexander Graf2011-07-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KVM has an ioctl to define which signal mask should be used while running inside VCPU_RUN. At least for big endian systems, this mask is different on 32-bit and 64-bit systems (though the size is identical). Add a compat wrapper that converts the mask to whatever the kernel accepts, allowing 32-bit kvm user space to set signal masks. This patch fixes qemu with --enable-io-thread on ppc64 hosts when running 32-bit user land. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
