Add support for the Freescale MPC83xx memory controller to the existing driver for the Freescale MPC85xx memory controller. The only difference between the two processors are in the CS_BNDS register parsing code, which has been changed so it will work on both processors. The L2 cache controller does not exist on the MPC83xx, but the OF subsystem will not use the driver if the device is not present in the OF device tree. I had to change the nr_pages calculation to make the math work out. I checked it on my board and did the math by hand for a 64GB 85xx using 64K pages. In both cases, nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE comes out to the correct value. Signed-off-by: NIra W.

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly, both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic mode). With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work, following steps are necessary, in that order. * Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit * Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the first interrupt should be generated * Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf ) When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation. Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

Ignore the loader's PT_GNU_STACK when calculating the stack size, and only consider the executable's PT_GNU_STACK, assuming the executable has one. Currently the behaviour is to take the largest stack size and use that, but that means you can't reduce the stack size in the executable. The loader's stack size should probably only be used when executing the loader directly. WARNING: This patch is slightly dangerous - it may render a system inoperable if the loader's stack size is larger than that of important executables, and the system relies unknowingly on this increasing the size of the stack.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the sender and uses current_cred(). This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case. From the security pov the sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check. Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing. But still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a couple of cycles.

Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory. this is racy however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space process to complete before it reaps the crashing process. This patch corrects that. Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to complete before cleaning up the crashing process. This is a bit tricky to do for a few reasons: 1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it 2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete, since the user process may rely on an EOF condition I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this, and this is the one we've come up with. We add ourselves as a pipe reader (to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop). When we exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl. Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem, we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the system simply by running bad applications. If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

Change how we detect recursive dumps. Currently we have a mechanism by which we try to compare pathnames of the crashing process to the core_pattern path. This is broken for a dozen reasons, and just doesn't work in any sort of robust way. I'm replacing it with the use of a 0 RLIMIT_CORE value. Since helper apps set RLIMIT_CORE to zero, we don't write out core files for any process with that particular limit set. It the core_pattern is a pipe, any non-zero limit is translated to RLIM_INFINITY. This allows complete dumps to be captured, but prevents infinite recursion in the event that the core_pattern process itself crashes.

This changes tracehook_notify_jctl() so it's called with the siglock held, and changes its argument and return value definition. These clean-ups make it a better fit for what new tracing hooks need to check. Tracing needs the siglock here, held from the time TASK_STOPPED was set, to avoid potential SIGCONT races if it wants to allow any blocking in its tracing hooks. This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller do_signal_stop(). The function is short, called only once and only unconditionally. It aids readability to fold it in.

do_wait() checks ->wo_info to figure out who is the caller. If it's not NULL the caller should be sys_waitid(), in that case do_wait() fixes up the retval or zeros ->wo_info, depending on retval from underlying function. This is bug: user can pass ->wo_info == NULL and sys_waitid() will return incorrect value. man 2 waitid says: waitid(): returns 0 on success Test-case: int main(void) { if (fork()) assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WEXITED) == 0); return 0; } Result: Assertion `waitid(P_ALL, 0, ((void *)0), 4) == 0' failed. Move that code to sys_waitid(). User-visible change: sys_waitid() will return 0 on success, either infop is set or not.

do_wait() wakeup optimization: shift security_task_wait() from eligible_child() to wait_consider_task() Preparation, no functional changes. eligible_child() has a single caller, wait_consider_task(). We can move security_task_wait() out from eligible_child(), this allows us to use it for filtered wake_up().

The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes. Test case: static void *tfunc(void *arg) { int pid = (long)arg; assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0); kill(pid, SIGKILL); sleep(1); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t th; long pid = fork(); if (!pid) pause(); signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0); int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD); printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r); return 0; } Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly fails with errno == -ECHILD. The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its ->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD. But in this case we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().

We now count MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT, so we can show swap usage. It would be useful for users to show swap usage in memory.stat file, because they don't need calculate memsw.usage - res.usage to know swap usage.

Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the root cgroup. This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup overhead. I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu counters). Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added iteratively on top of these. The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup. The data for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable). What happens today is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics(). For the root, since we don't implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim. The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need additional data about swapped out memory. This patch adds a MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data. This data is computed recursively when hierarchy is enabled. The tests results I see on a 24 way show that 1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats 2. The results of the test are comparable to running with cgroup_disable=memory.

Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim path). memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree. Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically determined.
