While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot. To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times() accessors.

This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation.

Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand" virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel boundaries. This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries. Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the overhead associated to user hooks.

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

If the architecture doesn't provide an implementation of nsecs_to_cputime(), the cputime accounting core uses a default one that converts the nanoseconds to jiffies. However this only makes sense if we use the jiffies based cputime. For now it doesn't matter much because this API is only called on code that uses jiffies based cputime accounting. But the code may evolve and this API may be used more broadly in the future. Keeping this default implementation around is very error prone as it may introduce a bug and hide it on architectures that don't override this API. Fix this by moving this definition to the jiffies based cputime headers as it is the only place where it belongs to.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on" changes the behaviour of trace_pipe, ie. it makes trace_pipe return if we've read something and tracing is enabled, and this means that we have to 'cat trace_pipe' again and again while running tests. IMO the right way is if tracing is enabled, we always block and wait for ring buffer, or we may lose what we want since ring buffer's size is limited.

The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1 could only kill a process. While we still want to make sure an audit record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors. In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a record if the process is under inspection. This change also fixes userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

Commit 02404baf "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file" removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it enabled the irqsoff tracer. If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing "0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately, the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then it does not start the tracer internals. The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did. This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd tool, and is a regression for userspace. Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start() method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled). Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some of the code.

print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used to print the time value. However, this is obviously incorrect when the whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a bit more than a day of uptime). The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual length of the time prefix. This could be micro-optimized but it seems better to have simpler, more readable code here. The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit into the userspace buffer. If there are enough messages to fill log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with: # dmesg klogctl: Bad address When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more, and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it: syslog(0xa, 0, 0) = 1048576 mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000 syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(), which comes from commit 084681d1 ("printk: flush continuation lines immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence. - pid 1 becomes a zombie - setns(thepidns), fork,... - reaping pid 1. - The injected processes exiting. Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and instead following a stale pointer. That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.

Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages. This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining architectures fall in this category. This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they go over limit. For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to mess with the other path. Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can get rid of that flag.

Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode. Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set. Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events, but we can also add the new eventless options below this one. Suggested by Amnon Shiloh.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do the u32->int sign extension. The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched function declarations.

The boot_delay parameter affects all printk(), even if the log level prevents visible output from the call. It results in delays greater than the user intended without purpose. This patch changes the behaviour of boot_delay to only delay output.

Currently getting the sample period is always thru a complex calculation: get_softlockup_thresh() * ((u64)NSEC_PER_SEC / 5). We can store the sample period as a variable, and set it as __read_mostly type.
