2015-07-18x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'Dave Hansen
The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'. But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance). Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab allocation at fork(). The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too fragile.

2015-07-17genirq: Prevent resend to interrupts marked IRQ_NESTED_THREADThomas Gleixner
The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via handle_nested_irq. Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.

2015-07-15genirq: Revert sparse irq locking around __cpu_up() and move it to x86 for nowThomas Gleixner
Boris reported that the sparse_irq protection around __cpu_up() in the generic code causes a regression on Xen. Xen allocates interrupts and some more in the xen_cpu_up() function, so it deadlocks on the sparse_irq_lock. There is no simple fix for this and we really should have the protection for all architectures, but for now the only solution is to move it to x86 where actual wreckage due to the lack of protection has been observed.

2015-07-08Fix broken audit tests for exec arg lenLinus Torvalds
The "fix" in commit 0b08c5e5944 ("audit: Fix check of return value of strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things. As reported by Steven Rostedt: "Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1" because we just subtracted one from the return value. So testing against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a perfectly valid empty string. Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so that you don't have to write unreadable code.

2015-07-08tracing: Have branch tracer use recursive field of task structSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Fengguang Wu's tests triggered a bug in the branch tracer's start up test when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT set. This was because that config adds some debug logic in the per cpu field, which calls back into the branch tracer. The branch tracer has its own recursive checks, but uses a per cpu variable to implement it. If retrieving the per cpu variable calls back into the branch tracer, you can see how things will break. Instead of using a per cpu variable, use the trace_recursion field of the current task struct. Simply set a bit when entering the branch tracing and clear it when leaving. If the bit is set on entry, just don't do the tracing. There's also the case with lockdep, as the local_irq_save() called before the recursion can also trigger code that can call back into the function. Changing that to a raw_local_irq_save() will protect that as well. This prevents the recursion and the inevitable crash that follows.

2015-07-08hotplug: Prevent alloc/free of irq descriptors during cpu up/downThomas Gleixner
When a cpu goes up some architectures (e.g. x86) have to walk the irq space to set up the vector space for the cpu. While this needs extra protection at the architecture level we can avoid a few race conditions by preventing the concurrent allocation/free of irq descriptors and the associated data. When a cpu goes down it moves the interrupts which are targeted to this cpu away by reassigning the affinities. While this happens interrupts can be allocated and freed, which opens a can of race conditions in the code which reassignes the affinities because interrupt descriptors might be freed underneath. Example: CPU1 CPU2 cpu_up/down irq_desc = irq_to_desc(irq); remove_from_radix_tree(desc); raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock); free(desc); We could protect the irq descriptors with RCU, but that would require a full tree change of all accesses to interrupt descriptors. But fortunately these kind of race conditions are rather limited to a few things like cpu hotplug. The normal setup/teardown is very well serialized. So the simpler and obvious solution is: Prevent allocation and freeing of interrupt descriptors accross cpu hotplug.

2015-07-07tick/broadcast: Handle spurious interrupts gracefullyThomas Gleixner
Andriy reported that on a virtual machine the warning about negative expiry time in the clock events programming code triggered: hpet: hpet0 irq 40 for MSI hpet: hpet1 irq 41 for MSI Switching to clocksource hpet WARNING: at kernel/time/clockevents.c:239 [<ffffffff810ce6eb>] clockevents_program_event+0xdb/0xf0 [<ffffffff810cf211>] tick_handle_periodic_broadcast+0x41/0x50 [<ffffffff81016525>] timer_interrupt+0x15/0x20 When the second hpet is installed as a per cpu timer the broadcast event is not longer required and stopped, which sets the next_evt of the broadcast device to KTIME_MAX. If after that a spurious interrupt happens on the broadcast device, then the current code blindly handles it and tries to reprogram the broadcast device afterwards, which adds the period to next_evt. KTIME_MAX + period results in a negative expiry value causing the WARN_ON in the clockevents code to trigger. Add a proper check for the state of the broadcast device into the interrupt handler and return if the interrupt is spurious.

2015-07-07tick/broadcast: Make idle check independent from mode and configThomas Gleixner
Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode. If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based broadcast device is not evaluated. Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide proper subfunctions for the various config combinations. The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary. Provide checks for the trivial cases: - If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy - If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based. - If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.

2015-07-07clockevents: Allow set-state callbacks to be optionalViresh Kumar
Its mandatory for the drivers to provide set_state_{oneshot|periodic}() (only if related modes are supported) and set_state_shutdown() callbacks today, if they are implementing the new set-state interface. But this leads to unnecessary noop callbacks for drivers which don't want to implement them. Over that, it will lead to a full function call for nothing really useful. Lets make all set-state callbacks optional.

2015-07-06sched/fair: Test list head instead of list entry in throttle_cfs_rq()Cong Wang
According to the comments, we need to test if this is the first throttled task, however, list_empty() tests on the entry cfs_rq->throttled_list, not the head, this is wrong. This is a bug because we don't re-init the list entry after removing it from the list, so list_empty() could return false even if the list is really empty.

2015-07-04sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/schedSrikar Dronamraju
Commit 44dba3d5d6a1 ("sched: Refactor task_struct to use numa_faults instead of numa_* pointers") modified the way tsk->numa_faults stats are accounted. However that commit never touched show_numa_stats() that is displayed in /proc/pid/sched and thus the numbers displayed in /proc/pid/sched don't match the actual numbers. Fix it by making sure that /proc/pid/sched reflects the task fault numbers. Also add group fault stats too. Also couple of more modifications are added here: 1. Format changes: - Previously we would list two entries per node, one for private and one for shared. Also the home node info was listed in each entry. - Now preferred node, total_faults and current node are displayed separately. - Now there is one entry per node, that lists private,shared task and group faults. 2. Unit changes: - p->numa_pages_migrated was getting reset after every read of /proc/pid/sched. It's more useful to have absolute numbers since differential migrations between two accesses can be more easily calculated.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all. Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced. There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount points on proc and sysfs that are created specially. This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime, read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid attributes remains for another time. This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of /proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was converted) and is not now actively wrong. There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that I will mention briefly. It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount. At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the performance part of pathname resolution. As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once they are recognized" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path mnt: Update fs_fully_visible to test for permanently empty directories sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. kernfs: Add support for always empty directories. proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints. fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace
2015-07-03sched, preempt_notifier: separate notifier registration from static_key inc/decPeter Zijlstra
Commit 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers") had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep caused dmesg splats. Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often (in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every userspace exit. To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from KVM.
