timespec_trunc() avoids rounding if granularity <= nanoseconds-per-jiffie (or TICK_NSEC). This optimization assumes that: 1. current_kernel_time().tv_nsec is already rounded to TICK_NSEC (i.e. with HZ=1000 you'd get 1000000, 2000000, 3000000... but never 1000001). This is no longer true (probably since hrtimers introduced in 2.6.16). 2. TICK_NSEC is evenly divisible by all possible granularities. This may be true for HZ=100, 250, 1000, but obviously not for HZ=300 / TICK_NSEC=3333333 (introduced in 2.6.20). Thus, sub-second portions of in-core file times are not rounded to on-disk granularity. I.e. file times may change when the inode is re-read from disk or when the file system is remounted. This affects all file systems with file time granularities > 1 ns and < 1s, e.g. CEPH (1000 ns), UDF (1000 ns), CIFS (100 ns), NTFS (100 ns) and FUSE (configurable from user mode via struct fuse_init_out.time_gran). Steps to reproduce with e.g. UDF: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=udfdisk count=10000 && mkudffs udfdisk $ mkdir udf && mount udfdisk udf $ touch udf/test && stat -c %y udf/test 2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006767 +0200 $ umount udf && mount udfdisk udf $ stat -c %y udf/test 2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006000 +0200 Remounting truncates the mtime to 1 µs. Fix the rounding in timespec_trunc() and update the documentation. timespec_trunc() is exclusively used to calculate inode's [acm]time (mostly via current_fs_time()), and always with super_block.s_time_gran as second argument. So this can safely be changed without side effects. Note: This does _not_ fix the issue for FAT's 2 second mtime resolution, as super_block.s_time_gran isn't prepared to handle different ctime / mtime / atime resolutions nor resolutions > 1 second.

I noticed for non-monotonic timers in timer_list, some of the output looked a little confusing. For example: #1: <0000000000000000>, posix_timer_fn, S:01, hrtimer_start_range_ns, leap-a-day/2360 # expires at 1434412800000000000-1434412800000000000 nsecs [in 1434410725062375469 to 1434410725062375469 nsecs] You'll note the relative time till the expiration "[in xxx to yyy nsecs]" is incorrect. This is because its printing the delta between CLOCK_MONOTONIC time to the CLOCK_REALTIME expiration. This patch fixes this issue by adding the clock offset to the "now" time which we use to calculate the delta.

Commit 44dba3d5 ("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.

Commit 1cde2930 ("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.

Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1. Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

Commit f06e5153 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after. The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through panic() in oops path. To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash(). Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things on this patch.

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd crash_kexec() does nothing.

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary, which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost in transit. This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n" If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects /dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by this change. * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there are registered extended consoles. * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log information which enables things like structured logging and detection of lost messages. This patch (of 7): devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't that complicated. This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read() so that it limits output accordingly.

clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system call entry point across architectures. The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt into this. These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if anyone would prefer that. This patch (of 2): clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls in). Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific position of the tls argument. However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments. Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into, and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass that down to copy_thread_tls. Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone syscall.

Individual prctl(PR_SET_MM_*) calls do some checking to maintain a consistent view of mm->arg_start et al fields, but not enough. In particular PR_SET_MM_ARG_START/PR_SET_MM_ARG_END/ R_SET_MM_ENV_START/ PR_SET_MM_ENV_END only check that the address lies in an existing VMA, but don't check that the start address is lower than the end address _at all_. Consolidate all consistency checks, so there will be no difference in the future between PR_SET_MM_MAP and individual PR_SET_MM_* calls. The program below makes both ARGV and ENVP areas be reversed. It makes /proc/$PID/cmdline show garbage (it doesn't oops by luck). #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <unistd.h> enum {PAGE_SIZE=4096}; int main(void) { void *p; p = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); #define PR_SET_MM 35 #define PR_SET_MM_ARG_START 8 #define PR_SET_MM_ARG_END 9 #define PR_SET_MM_ENV_START 10 #define PR_SET_MM_ENV_END 11 prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_START, (unsigned long)p + PAGE_SIZE - 1, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_END, (unsigned long)p, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ENV_START, (unsigned long)p + PAGE_SIZE - 1, 0, 0); prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ENV_END, (unsigned long)p, 0, 0); pause(); return 0; } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tidy code, tweak comment] Signed-off-by: NAlexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Acked-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> Cc: Jan Stancek <jstancek@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

While debugging a WARN_ON() for filtering, I found that it is possible for the filter string to be referenced after its end. With the filter: # echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter The filter_parse() function can call infix_get_op() which calls infix_advance() that updates the infix filter pointers for the cnt and tail without checking if the filter is already at the end, which will put the cnt to zero and the tail beyond the end. The loop then calls infix_next() that has ps->infix.cnt--; return ps->infix.string[ps->infix.tail++]; The cnt will now be below zero, and the tail that is returned is already passed the end of the filter string. So far the allocation of the filter string usually has some buffer that is zeroed out, but if the filter string is of the exact size of the allocated buffer there's no guarantee that the charater after the nul terminating character will be zero. Luckily, only root can write to the filter. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.33+ Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong). # echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless, and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via the proper channels.

Rename unmark_oom_victim() to exit_oom_victim(). Marking and unmarking are related in functionality, but the interface is not symmetrical at all: one is an internal OOM killer function used during the killing, the other is for an OOM victim to signal its own death on exit later on. This has locking implications, see follow-up changes. While at it, rename mark_tsk_oom_victim() to mark_oom_victim(), which is easier on the eye.

Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores. See Documentation/lockup-watchdogs.txt for more information.

This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores can't tolerate a watchdog). To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different values after bootup. To implement this customizability, we add a new smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads. And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't reported as running, which is otherwise confusing. This patch (of 3): This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the smp_hotplug_thread tasks. The following commit to update kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and more information on the motivation is provided there. A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked when deciding whether to unpark the thread. To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering.

Many harddisks (mostly WD ones) have firmware problems and take too long, more than 10 seconds, to resume from suspend. And this often exceeds the default DPM watchdog timeout (12 seconds), resulting in a kernel panic out of sudden. Since most distros just take the default as is, we should give a bit more safer value. This patch increases the default value from 12 seconds to one minute, which has been confirmed to be long enough for such problematic disks.

When disable_nonboot_cpus() fails on some cpu it doesn't bring back all cpus it managed to offline, a consequent call to enable_nonboot_cpus() is expected. In hibernation_platform_enter() we don't call enable_nonboot_cpus() on error so cpus stay offlined. create_image() and resume_target_kernel() functions handle disable_nonboot_cpus() faults correctly, hibernation_platform_enter() is the only one which is doing it wrong.

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params. Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module). The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works, there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/* config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param. This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them will never cause load-time param changing. This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.
