      [S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts · f2db2e6c
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor
      which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have
      been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset).
      
      The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where
      the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives.
      
      In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault
      completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst
      case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to
      wait again.

      [S390] Remove data execution protection · 043d0708
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table
      entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between
      memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies
      on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space
      page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary
      space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case.
      Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines.
      The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the
      memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been
      used to fetch the instruction.
      This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled
      with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current
      noexec support.

      [S390] pfault: fix token handling · e35c76cd
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      f6649a7e "[S390] cleanup lowcore access from external interrupts" changed
      handling of external interrupts. Instead of letting the external interrupt
      handlers accessing the per cpu lowcore the entry code of the kernel reads
      already all fields that are necessary and passes them to the handlers.
      The pfault interrupt handler was incorrectly converted. It tries to
      dereference a value which used to be a pointer to a lowcore field. After
      the conversion however it is not anymore the pointer to the field but its
      content. So instead of a dereference only a cast is needed to get the
      task pointer that caused the pfault.
      
      Fixes a NULL pointer dereference and a subsequent kernel crash:
      
      Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address (null)

      [S390] debug: enable exception-trace debug facility · ab3c68ee
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints
      traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes.
      s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called
      userprocess_debug and is enabled differently.
      This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files
      
      /proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug
      /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace
      
      is modified the contents of the second one changes as well.
      That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same
      interface like other architectures do.
      Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now
      also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available)
      where the process caused a fault or trap.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Add support for different number of page table levels dependent
      on the highest address used for a process. This will cause a 31 bit
      process to use a two level page table instead of the four level page
      table that is the default after the pud has been introduced. Likewise
      a normal 64 bit process will use three levels instead of four. Only
      if a process runs out of the 4 tera bytes which can be addressed with
      a three level page table the fourth level is dynamically added. Then
      the process can use up to 8 peta byte.

      pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt 提交于
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.
