exit_notify() changes ->exit_signal if the parent already did exec. This doesn't really work, we are not going to send the signal now if there is another live thread or the exiting task is traced. The parent can exec before the last dies or the tracer detaches. Move this check into do_notify_parent() which actually sends the signal. The user-visible change is that we do not change ->exit_signal, and thus the exiting task is still "clone children" for do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE). Hopefully this is fine, the current logic is racy anyway. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

exit_notify() checks "tsk->self_exec_id != tsk->parent_exec_id" to handle the "we have changed execution domain" case. We can change do_thread() to always set ->exit_signal = SIGCHLD and remove this check to simplify the code. We could change setup_new_exec() instead, this looks more logical because it increments ->self_exec_id. But note that de_thread() already resets ->exit_signal if it changes the leader, let's keep both changes close to each other. Note that we change ->exit_signal lockless, this changes the rules. Thereafter ->exit_signal is not stable under tasklist but this is fine, the only possible change is OLDSIG -> SIGCHLD. This can race with eligible_child() but the race is harmless. We can race with reparent_leader() which changes our ->exit_signal in parallel, but it does the same change to SIGCHLD. The noticeable user-visible change is that the execing task is not "visible" to do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE) right after exec. To me this looks more logical, and this is consistent with mt case. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who decides which signal the child should use for notification. This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL", the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent doesn't control exit_signal in this case. This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps we should simply use SIGCHLD. We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine. Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible.

* branch 'dcache-word-accesses': vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing This does the name hashing and lookup using word-sized accesses when that is efficient, namely on x86 (although any little-endian machine with good unaligned accesses would do). It does very much depend on little-endian logic, but it's a very hot couple of functions under some real loads, and this patch improves the performance of __d_lookup_rcu() and link_path_walk() by up to about 30%. Giving a 10% improvement on some very pathname-heavy benchmarks. Because we do make unaligned accesses past the filename, the optimization is disabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active, and we effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the last page of usable RAM followed immediately by any IO memory (due to ACPI tables, BIOS buffer areas etc). Some of the bit operations we do are a bit "subtle". It's commented, but you do need to really think about the code. Or just consider it black magic. Thanks to people on G+ for some of the optimized bit tricks.

For some odd historical reason, the final mixing round for the dentry cache hash table lookup had an insane "xor with big constant" logic. In two places. The big constant that is being xor'ed is GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME, which is a fairly random-looking number that is designed to be *multiplied* with so that the bits get spread out over a whole long-word. But xor'ing with it is insane. It doesn't really even change the hash - it really only shifts the hash around in the hash table. To make matters worse, the insane big constant is different on 32-bit and 64-bit builds, even though the name hash bits we use are always 32-bit (and the bits from the pointer we mix in effectively are too). It's all total voodoo programming, in other words. Now, some testing and analysis of the hash chains shows that the rest of the hash function seems to be fairly good. It does pick the right bits of the parent dentry pointer, for example, and while it's generally a bad idea to use an xor to mix down the upper bits (because if there is a repeating pattern, the xor can cause "destructive interference"), it seems to not have been a disaster. For example, replacing the hash with the normal "hash_long()" code (that uses the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME constant correctly, btw) actually just makes the hash worse. The hand-picked hash knew which bits of the pointer had the highest entropy, and hash_long() ends up mixing bits less optimally at least in some trivial tests. So the hash function overall seems fine, it just has that really odd "shift result around by a constant xor". So get rid of the silly xor, and replace the down-mixing of the bits with an add instead of an xor that tends to not have the same kind of destructive interference issues. Some stats on the resulting hash chains shows that they look statistically identical before and after, but the code is simpler and no longer makes you go "WTF?". Also, the incoming hash really is just "unsigned int", not a long, and there's no real point to worry about the high 26 bits of the dentry pointer for the 64-bit case, because they are all going to be identical anyway. So also change the hashing to be done in the more natural 'unsigned int' that is the real size of the actual hashed data anyway. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c' in a busy firewall. That system (with several processors) was acting as backup in a primary-backup setup. After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes this problem.

ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu() is called with rcu_read_lock(), so don't need to dev_hold(). With dev_hold(), not corresponding dev_put(), will lead to leak.

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG: kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179! With a backtrace of: afs_free_call afs_make_call afs_fs_store_data afs_vnode_store_data afs_write_back_from_locked_page afs_writepages_region afs_writepages The cause is: ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue)); Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we are exceeding our disk quota: rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32) So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't freed all the resources for the call. By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

A read of a large file on an afs mount failed: # cat junk.file > /dev/null cat: junk.file: Bad message Looking at the trace, call->offset wrapped since it is only an unsigned short. In afs_extract_data: _enter("{%u},{%zu},%d,,%zu", call->offset, len, last, count); ... if (call->offset < count) { if (last) { _leave(" = -EBADMSG [%d < %zu]", call->offset, count); return -EBADMSG; } Which matches the trace: [cat ] ==> afs_extract_data({65132},{524},1,,65536) [cat ] <== afs_extract_data() = -EBADMSG [0 < 65536] call->offset went from 65132 to 0. Fix this by making call->offset an unsigned int.
