      hrtimer: create a "timer_slack" field in the task struct · 6976675d
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      We want to be able to control the default "rounding" that is used by
      select() and poll() and friends. This is a per process property
      (so that we can have a "nice" like program to start certain programs with
      a looser or stricter rounding) that can be set/get via a prctl().
      
      For this purpose, a field called "timer_slack_ns" is added to the task
      struct. In addition, a field called "default_timer_slack"ns" is added
      so that tasks easily can temporarily to a more/less accurate slack and then
      back to the default.
      
      The default value of the slack is set to 50 usec; this is significantly less
      than 2.6.27's average select() and poll() timing error but still allows
      the kernel to group timers somewhat to preserve power behavior. Applications
      and admins can override this via the prctl()

      introduce PF_KTHREAD flag · 7b34e428
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      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.

      ptrace children revamp · f470021a
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
      old ptrace_children list is gone.  Now ptrace, whether of one's own
      children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
      list instead.
      
      There should be no user-visible difference that matters.  The only
      change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
      children and stopped ptrace attachees.  Since wait_task_stopped()
      was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
      already know this won't cause any new problems.

      capabilities: implement per-process securebits · 3898b1b4
      Andrew G. Morgan 提交于
      Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0
      based privilege and use capabilities instead.  That is, with filesystem
      support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)
      possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain
      privilege via (set)uid-0.
      
      Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few
      user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently
      prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege.  Further, many
      applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel
      will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.
      
      Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is
      desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their
      privilege.  In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable
      sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser
      from the process' tree of children.
      
      The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege
      associated with (set)uid-0.  This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to
      initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited
      through fork()/exec()).  This reimplementation differs significantly from the
      historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which
      has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.
      
      With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop
      all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently
      fork()'d/exec()'d children with:
      
        prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);
      
      This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
      enabled at configure time.

      capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set · 3b7391de
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
       Currently cap_bset is per-system.  It can be manipulated through sysctl,
      but only init can add capabilities.  Root can remove capabilities.  By
      default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.
      
      This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
      enabled.  It is inherited at fork from parent.  Noone can add elements,
      CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.
      
      One example use of this is to start a safer container.  For instance, until
      device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
      best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.
      
      The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately.  It will only
      affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s.  It also does not affect pI,
      and exec() does not constrain pI'.  So to really start a shell with no way
      of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do
      
      	prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
      	cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
      	cap_value_t caparray[1];
      	caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
      	cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
      	cap_set_proc(cap);
      	cap_free(cap);
      
      The following test program will get and set the bounding
      set (but not pI).  For instance
      
      	./bset get
      		(lists capabilities in bset)
      	./bset drop cap_net_raw
      		(starts shell with new bset)
      		(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
      		file capabilities to try to increase caps)

      Extend group scheduling to also cover the realtime classes. It uses the time
      limiting introduced by the previous patch to allow multiple realtime groups.
      
      The hard time limit is required to keep behaviour deterministic.

      number of task groups. This is the worst case behaviour I can't seem to get out
      of, the avg. case of the algorithms can be improved, I focused on correctness

      sched: add RT-balance cpu-weight · 73fe6aae
      Gregory Haskins 提交于
      Some RT tasks (particularly kthreads) are bound to one specific CPU.
      It is fairly common for two or more bound tasks to get queued up at the
      same time.  Consider, for instance, softirq_timer and softirq_sched.  A
      timer goes off in an ISR which schedules softirq_thread to run at RT50.
      Then the timer handler determines that it's time to smp-rebalance the
      system so it schedules softirq_sched to run.  So we are in a situation
      where we have two RT50 tasks queued, and the system will go into
      rt-overload condition to request other CPUs for help.
      
      This causes two problems in the current code:
      
      1) If a high-priority bound task and a low-priority unbounded task queue
         up behind the running task, we will fail to ever relocate the unbounded
         task because we terminate the search on the first unmovable task.
      
      2) We spend precious futile cycles in the fast-path trying to pull
         overloaded tasks over.  It is therefore optimial to strive to avoid the
         overhead all together if we can cheaply detect the condition before
         overload even occurs.
      
      This patch tries to achieve this optimization by utilizing the hamming
      weight of the task->cpus_allowed mask.  A weight of 1 indicates that
      the task cannot be migrated.  We will then utilize this information to
      skip non-migratable tasks and to eliminate uncessary rebalance attempts.
      
      We introduce a per-rq variable to count the number of migratable tasks
      that are currently running.  We only go into overload if we have more
      than one rt task, AND at least one of them is migratable.
      
      In addition, we introduce a per-task variable to cache the cpus_allowed
      weight, since the hamming calculation is probably relatively expensive.
      We only update the cached value when the mask is updated which should be
      relatively infrequent, especially compared to scheduling frequency
      in the fast path.

      Isolate the explicit usage of signal->pgrp · 9a2e7057
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as
      deprecated with appropriate comment.
      
      The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because
      a) they are set to 0 automatically;
      b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one
         is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
         to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
         right before the .pgrp.
      
      This is the same patch as the 1ec320af one
      (from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.
      
      Some progress report:
      
      We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
      task_struct and struct signal_struct.  The session and pgrp are already
      deprecated.  The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
      in in fs/locks.c and audit code.  The pid field deprecation is mainly
      blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
      log.

      pid namespaces: introduce struct upid · 4c3f2ead
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      Since task will be visible from different pid namespaces each of them have to
      be addressed by multiple pids.  struct upid is to store the information about
      which id refers to which namespace.
      
      The constuciton looks like this.  Each struct pid carried the reference
      counter and the list of tasks attached to this pid.  At its end it has a
      variable length array of struct upid-s.  Each struct upid has a numerical id
      (pid itself), pointer to the namespace, this ID is valid in and is hashed into
      a pid_hash for searching the pids.
      
      The nr and pid_chain fields are kept in struct pid for a while to make kernel
      still work (no patch initialize the upids yet), but it will be removed at the
      end of this series when we switch to upids completely.

      signalfd simplification · b8fceee1
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
      sighand during its lifetime.
      
      In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
      poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2).  This also allows to remove
      all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
      dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
      
      I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
      
      The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
      private signals and the group ones.  I think this is an acceptable
      behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
      fetch w/out signalfd.

      Cedric Le Goater 提交于
      Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table,
      resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated
      accounting.
      
      A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation.
      Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges
      should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?)
      
      The unshare is not included in this patch.
      
      Changes since [try #4]:
      	- Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and
      	  get_user_ns to return the namespace.
      
      Changes since [try #3]:
      	- moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h}
      
      Changes since [try #2]:
      	- removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user()
      
      Changes since [try #1]:
      	- removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user()
      	- added a root_user per user namespace

      signal/timer/event: signalfd core · fba2afaa
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
      
      I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
      broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
      signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
      kernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on
      the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This
      seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test
      program for it:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c
      
      The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
      receiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:
      
      int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);
      
      The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
      to close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
      signalfd file.
      
      The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
      in.  The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".
      
      The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)
      will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct
      consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
      used together with epoll(2) too.
      
      The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
      the userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied
      in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also
      return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
      has been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
      return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.
      
      If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
      signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also
      return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the
      struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
      __SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:
      
      struct signalfd_siginfo {
      	__u32 signo;	/* si_signo */
      	__s32 err;	/* si_errno */
      	__s32 code;	/* si_code */
      	__u32 pid;	/* si_pid */
      	__u32 uid;	/* si_uid */
      	__s32 fd;	/* si_fd */
      	__u32 tid;	/* si_fd */
      	__u32 band;	/* si_band */
      	__u32 overrun;	/* si_overrun */
      	__u32 trapno;	/* si_trapno */
      	__s32 status;	/* si_status */
      	__s32 svint;	/* si_int */
      	__u64 svptr;	/* si_ptr */
      	__u64 utime;	/* si_utime */
      	__u64 stime;	/* si_stime */
      	__u64 addr;	/* si_addr */
      };

      rename thread_info to stack · f7e4217b
      Roman Zippel 提交于
      This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
      the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
      placing the thread_info structure.
      
      Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
      current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
      
      It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
      could benefit.

      [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field · 4fd45812
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
      being expanded).  When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
      to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
      or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
      
      Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
      it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can
      distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
      embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov 提交于
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.
