      um: use generic ptrace_resume code · 1bd09508
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
      PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
      arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
      user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
      causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
      considered a bug fix.
      
      Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
      it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
      modern ptrace code.
      
      XXX: I'm not sure arch_has_single_step() is placed in the exactly correct
      location, please verify in which of the ptrace headers it should really
      be.

      Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm
      not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case.

      arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0 · 51b563fc
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
      
          Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
          This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
          This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
          build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
          or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
      
      Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
      pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
      arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
      
      This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
      it is used.
      
      Notes for the different architectures touched:
      
      arm - we use an already exported symbol
      cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
             [Not build tested]
      mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
             Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
             the linker script.
             [Not build tested]
      powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
                [not build tested]
      sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
      um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
      xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

      linker script: unify usage of discard definition · 023bf6f1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
      considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
      implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
      tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
      
      This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
      end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
      uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
      discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
      
      ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
      subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
      image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
      
      defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
      alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

      UML on UML fixed: it did not start · 86d6f2bf
      Renzo Davoli 提交于
      It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
      user-mode linux (UML on UML).  It breaks after a few instructions.  When
      it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
      inconsistent result (from the outer UML).
      
      This is the output of a broken attempt:
      $ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
      Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
      Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
      Core dump limits :
              soft - 0
              hard - NONE
      Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
      Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
      Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
      $
      
      The problem is the following:
      
      PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.
      
      PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
      therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
      kernel/ptrace).
      
      This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
      PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
      the problem.

      mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault · 1c0fe6e3
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
      a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.
      
      With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
      oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
      panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
      process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
      into instead.
      
      Only converted x86 and uml so far.

      Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
      location.
      
      Twists:
      1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
         CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.
      
      2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
         Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.
      
      3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
         so I just manipulate them both in sync.
      
      4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'

      kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier · e545a614
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
      cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
      Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
      by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
      
      The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
      that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
      
      Tested on x86-64.
      All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got

      nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop · b8f8c3cf
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
      problem in the NOHZ code:
      
      	scheduler switch to idle task
      	enable interrupts
      
      Window starts here
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
      	      	irq_exit() stops the tick
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
      
      	return from schedule()
      	
      	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
      
      Window ends here
      
      The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
      first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
      rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
      disabled.
      
      The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
      NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
      hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
      
      Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
      that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
      
      cpu_idle()
      {
      	preempt_disable();
      
      	while(1) {
      		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
      		 			          are in the idle loop
      
      		 while (!need_resched())
      		       halt();
      
      		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
      		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
      		 schedule();
      		 preempt_disable();
      	}
      }
      
      In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...

      This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,

      addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
      valid page is found.
      
      Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
      sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
      address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
      bottom address.
      
      [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
      supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
