There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats> or ptrace or page migration. CPU0 CPU1 try_to_unuse looks at mm = task0->mm increments mm->mm_users task 0 exits mm->owner needs to be updated, but no new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but no other task has task->mm = task0->mm) mm_update_next_owner() leaves mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users task0 freed dereferencing mm->owner fails The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(), if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL. Jiri Slaby: mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops. Daisuke Nishimura: mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task() and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops. Hugh Dickins: Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches. exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(), so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning, there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines. This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module. This change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does it immediately after return if successful. We consolidate the repeated code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

I don't understand why the multi-thread coredump implies the core_uses_pid behaviour, but we shouldn't use mm->mm_users for that. This counter can be incremented by get_task_mm().

binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead). daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway. This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler(). Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die soon.

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines. Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner. This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to mm_struct. A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource controller selects this config option. This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner. I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and helping me make it lighter and simpler. This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the MM_OWNER config turned on and off. After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

I noticed that 2.6.24.2 calculates bprm->argv_len at do_execve(). But it doesn't update bprm->argv_len after "remove_arg_zero() + copy_strings_kernel()" at load_script() etc. audit_bprm() is called from search_binary_handler() and search_binary_handler() is called from load_script() etc. Thus, I think the condition check if (bprm->argv_len > (audit_argv_kb << 10)) return -E2BIG; in audit_bprm() might return wrong result when strlen(removed_arg) != strlen(spliced_args). Why not update bprm->argv_len at load_script() etc. ? By the way, 2.6.25-rc3 seems to not doing the condition check. Is the field bprm->argv_len no longer needed?

The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size (which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional limit. See commit b6a2fea3 ("mm: variable length argument support") for details. However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings could actually be smaller than the old limit. So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that traditional limit. (Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

signal_struct->tsk points to the ->group_leader and thus we have the nasty code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart ->real_timer if the leader is changed. Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead. This also allows us to kill now unneeded send_group_sig_info(). Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: N"Eric W.

As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.
