1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
should do this only when the whole process exits.
2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
Use ->group_leader instead.
Test case:
void hup(int sig)
{
printf("HUP received\n");
}
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(2);
printf("sub-thread exited\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (!fork()) {
signal(SIGHUP, hup);
kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
exit(0);
}
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
sleep(1);
printf("main thread exited\n");
syscall(__NR_exit, 0);
return 0;
}
output:
main thread exited
HUP received
Hangup
With this patch the output is:
main thread exited
sub-thread exited
HUP received

p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.
Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.
As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.
Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.
Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size
(which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit
based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional
limit. See commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm:
variable length argument support") for details.
However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots
of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up
to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings
could actually be smaller than the old limit.
So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the
value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that
traditional limit.
(Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole
stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always
been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

Arjan bisected down a boot-time hang to this, saying:
".. it prevents the kernel to finish booting on my (Penryn based)
laptop. The boot stops right after freeing the init memory."
and while it's not clear exactly what triggers it, at this stage we're
better off just reverting it while Ingo tries to figure out what went
wrong.

The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to
cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on
a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then
a gap to the next 4K page boundary.
It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately,
saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to
check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory.

We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but
we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is
defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate
it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

separately
Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a
contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger
amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being
too large.
So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to
have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert
the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset.
This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit
of every DMA address.
However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero
address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset
at all.
As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it
takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use
it instead!

Note that this crash happened _after_ firewire-core was unloaded. The
shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs
or similar jobs.
The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not
unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed. This is
determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases.
Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is
to be shut down.

Hi,
While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE

Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit
daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.
This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.
The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function
under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers.
As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer
pointing to the following byte sequence:
80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87
would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be
because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()
to sign-extend the lower words.
Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e()
to unsigned int.
