2009-09-24fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EXPeter Zijlstra
In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

2009-09-24signals: send_sigio: use do_send_sig_info() to avoid check_kill_permission()Oleg Nesterov
group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the sender and uses current_cred(). This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case. From the security pov the sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check. Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing. But still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a couple of cycles.

2009-09-24exec: fix set_binfmt() vs sys_delete_module() raceOleg Nesterov
sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after search_binary_handler() does try_module_get(). In this case set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old ->binfmt. The proper fix should change all ->load_binary() methods, but we can rely on fact that the caller must hold a reference to binfmt->module and use __module_get() which never fails.

2009-09-24exec: allow do_coredump() to wait for user space pipe readers to completeNeil Horman
Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory. this is racy however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space process to complete before it reaps the crashing process. This patch corrects that. Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to complete before cleaning up the crashing process. This is a bit tricky to do for a few reasons: 1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it 2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete, since the user process may rely on an EOF condition I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this, and this is the one we've come up with. We add ourselves as a pipe reader (to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop). When we exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

2009-09-24exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipesNeil Horman
Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl. Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem, we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the system simply by running bad applications. If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

2009-09-24exec: make do_coredump() more resilient to recursive crashesNeil Horman
Change how we detect recursive dumps. Currently we have a mechanism by which we try to compare pathnames of the crashing process to the core_pattern path. This is broken for a dozen reasons, and just doesn't work in any sort of robust way. I'm replacing it with the use of a 0 RLIMIT_CORE value. Since helper apps set RLIMIT_CORE to zero, we don't write out core files for any process with that particular limit set. It the core_pattern is a pipe, any non-zero limit is translated to RLIM_INFINITY. This allows complete dumps to be captured, but prevents infinite recursion in the event that the core_pattern process itself crashes.

2009-09-24signals: tracehook_notify_jctl changeRoland McGrath
This changes tracehook_notify_jctl() so it's called with the siglock held, and changes its argument and return value definition. These clean-ups make it a better fit for what new tracing hooks need to check. Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set, to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its tracing hooks. This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller do_signal_stop(). The function is short, called only once and only unconditionally. It aids readability to fold it in.

2009-09-24wait_noreap_copyout(): check for ->wo_info != NULLVitaly Mayatskikh
Current behaviour of sys_waitid() looks odd. If user passes infop == NULL, sys_waitid() returns success. When user additionally specifies flag WNOWAIT, sys_waitid() returns -EFAULT on the same conditions. When user combines WNOWAIT with WCONTINUED, sys_waitid() again returns success. This patch adds check for ->wo_info in wait_noreap_copyout(). User-visible change: starting from this commit, sys_waitid() always checks infop != NULL and does not fail if it is NULL.

2009-09-24do_wait: fix sys_waitid()-specific behaviourVitaly Mayatskikh
do_wait() checks ->wo_info to figure out who is the caller. If it's not NULL the caller should be sys_waitid(), in that case do_wait() fixes up the retval or zeros ->wo_info, depending on retval from underlying function. This is bug: user can pass ->wo_info == NULL and sys_waitid() will return incorrect value. man 2 waitid says: waitid(): returns 0 on success Test-case: int main(void) { if (fork()) assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WEXITED) == 0); return 0; } Result: Assertion `waitid(P_ALL, 0, ((void *)0), 4) == 0' failed. Move that code to sys_waitid(). User-visible change: sys_waitid() will return 0 on success, either infop is set or not. Note, there's another bug in wait_noreap_copyout() which affects return value of sys_waitid(). It will be fixed in next patch.

2009-09-24memcg: improve resource counter scalabilityBalbir Singh
Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the root cgroup. This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup overhead. I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu counters). Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added iteratively on top of these. The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup. The data for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable). What happens today is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics(). For the root, since we don't implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim. The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need additional data about swapped out memory. This patch adds a MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data. This data is computed recursively when hierarchy is enabled. The tests results I see on a 24 way show that 1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats 2. The results of the test are comparable to running with cgroup_disable=memory.

2009-09-24memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contentionBalbir Singh
Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim path). memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree. Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically determined.

Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits. Soft limits for memory plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported. Resource counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added. Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to a newer value. Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to res_counter. Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here.

2009-09-24memory controller: soft limit documentationBalbir Singh
Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU controllers interpretation of shares is very different though. Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory contention do the limits become active.

Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.) Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right information.

namespaces Previously there was the problem in which two processes from different pid namespaces reading the tasks or procs file could result in one process seeing results from the other's namespace. Rather than one pidlist for each file in a cgroup, we now keep a list of pidlists keyed by namespace and file type (tasks versus procs) in which entries are placed on demand. Each pidlist has its own lock, and that the pidlists themselves are passed around in the seq_file's private pointer means we don't have to touch the cgroup or its master list except when creating and destroying entries.

2009-09-24cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug"Paul Menage
The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup. The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being moved. The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the case. Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline with the sighand's atomic count. This scheme should introduce no extra overhead in the fork path when there's no contention. The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an extended critical section.

2009-09-24cgroups: allow cgroup hierarchies to be created with no bound subsystemsPaul Menage
This patch removes the restriction that a cgroup hierarchy must have at least one bound subsystem. The mount option "none" is treated as an explicit request for no bound subsystems. A hierarchy with no subsystems can be useful for plain task tracking, and is also a step towards the support for multiply-bindable subsystems. As part of this change, the hierarchy id is no longer calculated from the bitmask of subsystems in the hierarchy (since this is not guaranteed to be unique) but is allocated via an ida. Reference counts on cgroups from css_set objects are now taken explicitly one per hierarchy, rather than one per subsystem.

2009-09-24cgroups: add a back-pointer from struct cg_cgroup_link to struct cgroupPaul Menage
Currently the cgroups code makes the assumption that the subsystem pointers in a struct css_set uniquely identify the hierarchy->cgroup mappings associated with the css_set; and there's no way to directly identify the associated set of cgroups other than by indirecting through the appropriate subsystem state pointers. This patch removes the need for that assumption by adding a back-pointer from struct cg_cgroup_link object to its associated cgroup; this allows the set of cgroups to be determined by traversing the cg_links list in the struct css_set.
