2008-08-27lockdep: fix invalid list_del_rcu in zap_classZhu Yi
The problem is found during iwlagn driver testing on v2.6.27-rc4-176-gb8e6c91 kernel, but it turns out to be a lockdep bug. In our testing, we frequently load and unload the iwlagn driver (>50 times). Then the MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES is reached (expected behaviour?). The error message with the call trace is as below. BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low! turning off the locking correctness validator.

Fix rounding error in /proc/lock_stat numerical output. On occasion the two digit fractional part contains the three digit value '100'. This is due to a bug in the rounding algorithm which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than to '00' + an increment to the integer part. For example, - 123456.100 old display + 123457.00 new display Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-08-25[module] Don't let gcc inline load_module()Linus Torvalds
'load_module()' is a complex function that contains all the ELF section logic, and inlining it is utterly insane. But gcc will do it, simply because there is only one call-site. As a result, all the stack space that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call chain makes stack overflows happen. And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info structure that is allocated under the stack. In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after loading the processor module that ends up doing complex ACPI stuff and has quite a deep callchain. This should fix it, and is the sane thing to do regardless. Cc: Alan D.

2008-08-25sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()Peter Zijlstra
This patch fixes 3 issues: a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work as it can drift around. So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window. b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking): delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw; clock += delta; Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear. c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking. the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas: before after sched_clock cpu_clock: 15750 51312 51488 cpu_clock: 59719 51052 50947 cpu_clock: 15879 51249 51061 cpu_clock: 1 50933 51198 cpu_clock: 1 50931 51039 cpu_clock: 1 51093 50981 cpu_clock: 1 51043 51040 cpu_clock: 1 50959 50938 cpu_clock: 1 50981 51011 cpu_clock: 1 51364 51212 cpu_clock: 1 51219 51273 cpu_clock: 1 51389 51048 cpu_clock: 1 51285 51611 cpu_clock: 1 50964 51137 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50968 cpu_clock: 1 50967 50972 cpu_clock: 1 58910 58485 cpu_clock: 1 51082 51025 cpu_clock: 1 50957 50958 cpu_clock: 1 50958 50957 cpu_clock: 1006128 51128 50971 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51155 cpu_clock: 1 51371 51081 cpu_clock: 1 51104 51365 cpu_clock: 1 51363 51309 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51160 cpu_clock: 1 51139 51100 cpu_clock: 1 51216 51136 cpu_clock: 1 51207 51215 cpu_clock: 1 51087 51263 cpu_clock: 1 51249 51177 cpu_clock: 1 51519 51412 cpu_clock: 1 51416 51255 cpu_clock: 1 51591 51594 cpu_clock: 1 50966 51374 cpu_clock: 1 50966 50966 cpu_clock: 1 51291 50948 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50867 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 998306 50970 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51351 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 51352 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51321 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50974 51324 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-08-14security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

2008-08-14sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)Max Krasnyansky
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of the latest mainline git. The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code. Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler. This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments, style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks. Here are some more details: rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts, like cpu hotplug for example. Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains() directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains(). In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does. New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments. We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly. The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()). This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review. I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces. I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make things cleaner. The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating & removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the quad-core2 based machine. It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled. This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working as expected.

2008-08-14sched: fix the race between walk_tg_tree and sched_create_groupZhang, Yanmin
With 2.6.27-rc3, I hit a kernel panic when running volanoMark on my new x86_64 machine. I also hit it with other 2.6.27-rc kernels. See below log. Basically, function walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group have a race between accessing and initiating tg->children. Below patch fixes it by moving tg->children initiation to the front of linking tg->siblings to parent->children. {----------------panic log------------} BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 IP: [<ffffffff802292ab>] walk_tg_tree+0x45/0x7f PGD 1be1c4067 PUD 1bdd8d067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 11 Modules linked in: igb Pid: 22979, comm: java Not tainted 2.6.27-rc3 #1 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff802292ab>] [<ffffffff802292ab>] walk_tg_tree+0x45/0x7f RSP: 0018:ffff8801bfbbbd18 EFLAGS: 00010083 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8800be0dce40 RCX: ffffffffffffffc0 RDX: ffff880102c43740 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8800be0dce40 RBP: ffff8801bfbbbd48 R08: ffff8800ba437bc8 R09: 0000000000001f40 R10: ffff8801be812100 R11: ffffffff805fdf44 R12: ffff880102c43740 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffffffff8022cf0f R15: ffffffff8022749f FS: 00000000568ac950(0063) GS:ffff8801bfa26d00(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 00000001bd848000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process java (pid: 22979, threadinfo ffff8801b145a000, task ffff8801bf18e450) Stack: 0000000000000001 ffff8800ba5c8d60 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 ffff8800bad1ccb8 0000000000000000 ffff8801bfbbbd98 ffffffff8022ed37 0000000000000001 0000000000000286 ffff8801bd5ee180 ffff8800ba437bc8 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8022ed37>] try_to_wake_up+0x71/0x24c [<ffffffff80247177>] autoremove_wake_function+0x9/0x2e [<ffffffff80228039>] ? __wake_up_common+0x46/0x76 [<ffffffff802296d5>] __wake_up+0x38/0x4f [<ffffffff806169cc>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x380/0x62e Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would wait).

2008-08-12modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loaderArjan van de Ven
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug" on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes it will 1) print if it had an error code 2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off) and 3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds. While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.
