df2d5ae4 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that, for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested state. Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users (fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to garbage by cpu_to_node().

Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as "protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those machines. This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map() callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently. MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

When BSD process accounting is enabled and logs information to a filesystem which gets frozen, system easily becomes unusable because each attempt to account process information blocks. Thus e.g. every task gets blocked in exit. It seems better to drop accounting information (which can already happen when filesystem is running out of space) instead of locking system up. So we just skip the write if the filesystem is frozen.

The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments with a single task running without a periodic tick. In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(), keep at least 1 tick per second. This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity. Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime, avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details handled in sched_class::task_tick(). This limitation will be removed in the future once we get these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

Commit 0637e029 ("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is enabled. However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's "select" instruction has no effect on such targets. Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we don't want instead.

For single page sized ring buffer the page_order is -1 (because nr_pages is 0). This needs to be recognized in the rb_free_work function to release proper amount of pages.

The purpose of this patch is to allow privileged processes to set their own per-memory memory-region fields: start_code, end_code, start_data, end_data, start_brk, brk, start_stack, arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end. This functionality is needed by any application or package that needs to reconstruct Linux processes, that is, to start them in any way other than by means of an "execve()" from an executable file. This includes: 1. Restoring processes from a checkpoint-file (by all potential user-level checkpointing packages, not only CRIU's). 2. Restarting processes on another node after process migration. 3. Starting duplicated copies of a running process (for reliability and high-availablity). 4. Starting a process from an executable format that is not supported by Linux, thus requiring a "manual execve" by a user-level utility. 5. Similarly, starting a process from a networked and/or crypted executable that, for confidentiality, licensing or other reasons, may not be written to the local file-systems. The code that does that was already included in the Linux kernel by the CRIU group, in the form of "prctl(PR_SET_MM)", but prior to this was enclosed within their private "#ifdef CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE", which is normally disabled. The patch removes those ifdefs.

find_next_offset() searches for an available "cleaned bit" in the respective pid bitmap (page), so returns the offset if found, otherwise it returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE. For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles). Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after the checking (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully! Another point: If (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) results in a "failure", then mk_pid would be called again afterwards. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify code] Signed-off-by: NRaphael S.

There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a lot of related bug reports: - do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that. In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other reasons. - At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly. This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the next changes. We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and nacks any signal except SIGKILL. Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439 Notes: - recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP. The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never call it, but we can change it as well. - There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This will be addressed separately.

This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO. This request is used to retrieve information about pending signals starting with the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are copied from the child into the buffer starting at "data". The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args. struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args { u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */ u32 flags; s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */ }; "nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on i386 and a negative values is used for errors. Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping signals from process-wide queue. If this flag is not set, signals are read from a per-thread queue. The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals. If a signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns zero. The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped. Errors: EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space. A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped, but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of pending signals. This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals. Pedro Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals. gdb already uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already dequeued. This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals which were not reported yet. The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

The only use outside of kernel/timer.c was in kernel/compat.c, so move compat_sys_sysinfo() next to sys_sysinfo() in kernel/timer.c.

We sometimes use "struct call_single_data *data" and sometimes "struct call_single_data *csd". Use "csd" consistently. We sometimes use "struct call_function_data *data" and sometimes "struct call_function_data *cfd". Use "cfd" consistently. Also, avoid some 80-col layout tricks.

csd_lock() uses assignment to data->flags rather than |=. That is not buggy at present because only one bit (CSD_FLAG_LOCK) is defined in call_single_data.flags. But it will become buggy if we later add another flag, so fix it now.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, which, according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices. This patchset implements a way for a work function to mark its execution instance so that task dump of the worker task includes information to indicate what the work item was doing. An example WARN dump would look like the following. WARNING: at fs/fs-writeback.c:1015 bdi_writeback_workfn+0x2b4/0x3c0() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 Pid: 28 Comm: kworker/u18:0 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc1-work+ #24 Hardware name: empty empty/S3992, BIOS 080011 10/26/2007 Workqueue: writeback bdi_writeback_workfn (flush-8:16) ffffffff820a3a98 ffff88015b927cb8 ffffffff81c61855 ffff88015b927cf8 ffffffff8108f500 0000000000000000 ffff88007a171948 ffff88007a1716b0 ffff88015b49df00 ffff88015b8d3940 0000000000000000 ffff88015b927d08 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81c61855>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [<ffffffff8108f500>] warn_slowpath_common+0x70/0xa0 ... This patch: Implement probe_kthread_data() which returns kthread_data if accessible. The function is equivalent to kthread_data() except that the specified @task may not be a kthread or its vfork_done is already cleared rendering struct kthread inaccessible. In the former case, probe_kthread_data() may return any value. In the latter, NULL. This will be used to safely print debug information without affecting synchronization in the normal paths. Workqueue debug info printing on dump_stack() and friends will make use of it.
