* hrtimer: Remove hrtimer_start() return valueThomas Gleixner2015-04-221-16/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No user was ever interested whether the timer was active or not when it was started. All abusers of the return value are gone, so get rid of it.

* tick: broadcast-hrtimer: Remove overly clever return value abuseThomas Gleixner2015-04-221-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The assignment of bc_moved in the conditional construct relies on the fact that in the case of hrtimer_start() invocation the return value is always 0. It took me a while to understand it. We want to get rid of the hrtimer_start() return value. Open code the logic which makes it readable as well.

* tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluationThomas Gleixner2015-04-227-115/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases. Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX. Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the nohz code.

* hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirqThomas Gleixner2015-04-223-122/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hrtimer softirq is a leftover from the initial implementation and serves only the purpose to handle the enqueueing of already expired timers in the high resolution timer mode. We discussed whether we change the return value and force all start sites to handle that the timer is already expired, but that would be a Herculean task and I'm not sure whether its a good idea to enforce that handling on everyone. A simpler solution is to enforce a timer interrupt instead of raising and scheduling a softirq. Just use the existing infrastructure to do so and remove all the softirq leftovers. The HRTIMER softirq enum is now unused, but kept around because trace parsers rely on the existing numbering.

* hrtimer: Update active_bases before calling hrtimer_force_reprogram()Viresh Kumar2015-04-221-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'active_bases' indicates which clock-base have active timer. The intention of this bit field was to avoid evaluating inactive bases. It was introduced with the introduction of the BOOTTIME and TAI clock bases, but it was never brought into full use. We want to use it now, but in __remove_hrtimer() the update happens after the calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() which has to evaluate all clock bases for the next expiring timer. So in case the last timer of a clock base got removed we still see the active bit and therefor evaluate the clock base for no value. There are further optimizations possible when active_bases is updated in the right place.

* smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()Linus Torvalds2015-04-191-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8053871d0f7f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases ended up not unlocking the call data at all. This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case, where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU. But apparently ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm). Bindly doing cross-cpu calls to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error handling was clearly not correct. Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

The problem is that flush_smp_call_function_queue() does csd_unlock() _after_ calling csd->func(). This means that a caller cannot properly synchronize the csd usage as it has to. Change the code to release the csd before calling ->func() for the async case, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE(csd->flags & CSD_FLAG_LOCK) in smp_call_function_single_async() to warn us of improper serialization, because any waiting there can results in deadlocks when called with IRQs disabled. Rename the (currently) unused WAIT flag to SYNCHRONOUS and (re)use it such that we know what to do in flush_smp_call_function_queue(). Rework csd_{,un}lock() to use smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release() to avoid some full barriers while more clearly providing lock semantics. Finally move the csd maintenance out of generic_exec_single() into its callers for clearer code.

It broke tracing examples and prevented simple bpf programs from loading. In the following code: if (insn->imm == 0 && BPF_SIZE(insn->code) == BPF_W) { } else if (...) { // this part should have been executed when // insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0 } Obviously it's not doing that. So simple instructions like: r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8) will be rejected. Note the comments in the code around these branches were and still valid and indicate the true intent. Replace it with: if (BPF_SIZE(insn->code) != BPF_W) continue; if (insn->imm == 0) { } else if (...) { // now this code will be executed when // insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0 } 2. second bug is more subtle. If malicious code is using the same dest register as source register, the checks designed to prevent the same instruction to be used with different pointer types will fail to trigger, since we were assigning src_reg_type when it was already overwritten by check_mem_access(). The fix is trivial. Just move line: src_reg_type = regs[insn->src_reg].type; before check_mem_access(). Add new 'access skb fields bad4' test to check this case.

However, for now, make of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear underneath us while doing the get dcookie. As a consequence, for 2) we move the mmap_sem locking into where we really need it, in lookup_dcookie(). The benefits are twofold: reduce mmap_sem hold times, and cleaner code.

* | | prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file serializationDavidlohr Bueso2015-04-172-25/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg cleverly suggested using xchg() to set the new mm->exe_file instead of calling set_mm_exe_file() which requires some form of serialization -- mmap_sem in this case. For archs that do not have atomic rmw instructions we still fallback to a spinlock alternative, so this should always be safe. As such, we only need the mmap_sem for looking up the backing vm_file, which can be done sharing the lock. Naturally, this means we need to manually deal with both the new and old file reference counting, and we need not worry about the MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED bits, which can probably be deleted in the future anyway.

The current man page even mentions this case: : EAGAIN : : A system-imposed limit on the number of threads was encountered. : There are a number of limits that may trigger this error: the : RLIMIT_NPROC soft resource limit (set via setrlimit(2)), which : limits the number of processes and threads for a real user ID, was : reached; the kernel's system-wide limit on the number of processes : and threads, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, was reached (see : proc(5)); or the maximum number of PIDs, /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, : was reached (see proc(5)). so the current behavior is also incorrect wrt. documentation. POSIX man page also suggest returing EAGAIN when the process count limit is reached. This patch simply propagates error code from alloc_pid and makes sure we return -EAGAIN due to reservation failure. This will make behavior of fork closer to both our documentation and POSIX. alloc_pid might alsoo fail when the reaper in the pid namespace is dead (the namespace basically disallows all new processes) and there is no good error code which would match documented ones. We have traditionally returned ENOMEM for this case which is misleading as well but as per Eric W. Biederman this behavior is documented in man pid_namespaces(7) : If the "init" process of a PID namespace terminates, the kernel : terminates all of the processes in the namespace via a SIGKILL signal. : This behavior reflects the fact that the "init" process is essential for : the correct operation of a PID namespace. In this case, a subsequent : fork(2) into this PID namespace will fail with the error ENOMEM; it is : not possible to create a new processes in a PID namespace whose "init" : process has terminated. and introducing a new error code would be too risky so let's stick to ENOMEM for this case.

But this is no longer possible after 9899d11f6544 "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL". We can turn these checks into WARN_ON() and remove release_task(). While at it, document the setting of child->exit_code.

* | | ptrace: fix race between ptrace_resume() and wait_task_stopped()Oleg Nesterov2015-04-171-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ptrace_resume() is called when the tracee is still __TASK_TRACED. We set tracee->exit_code and then wake_up_state() changes tracee->state. If the tracer's sub-thread does wait() in between, task_stopped_code(ptrace => T) wrongly looks like another report from tracee. This confuses debugger, and since wait_task_stopped() clears ->exit_code the tracee can miss a signal. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <assert.h> int pid; void *waiter(void *arg) { int stat; for (;;) { assert(pid == wait(&stat)); assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat)); if (WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP) continue; assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGCONT); printf("ERR! extra/wrong report:%x\n", stat); } } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); for (;;) kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); } assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, waiter, NULL) == 0); for (;;) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGCONT); return 0; } Note for stable: the bug is very old, but without 9899d11f6544 "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL" the fix should use lock_task_sighand(child).
