Due to recent load-balancer changes that delay the task migration to the next wakeup, the adaptive mutex spinning ends up in a live lock when the owner's CPU gets offlined because the cpu_online() check lives before the owner running check. This patch changes mutex_spin_on_owner() to return 0 (don't spin) in any case where we aren't sure about the owner struct validity or CPU number, and if the said CPU is offline. There is no point going back & re-evaluate spinning in corner cases like that, let's just go to sleep.

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct. The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other. This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment before. Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to do is to remove that particular check. I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've changed several times in the meantime. Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled. The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look like: CRED: Invalid credentials CRED: At include/linux/cred.h:240 CRED: Specified credentials: ffff88003dda5878 [real][eff] CRED: ->magic=43736564, put_addr=(null) CRED: ->usage=766, subscr=766 CRED: ->*uid = { 0,0,0,0 } CRED: ->*gid = { 0,0,0,0 } CRED: ->security is ffff88003d72f538 CRED: ->security {359, 359} ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:850! ...

This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error' is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.

Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed. However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment, leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to this race. Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine. Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a low-refcount from being returned.

There have been a number of reports of people seeing the message: "name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=3185" in dmesg. These usually lead to people reporting problems to the filesystem group who are in turn clueless what they mean. Eventually someone finds me and I explain what is going on and that these come from the audit system. The basics of the problem is that the audit subsystem never expects a single syscall to 'interact' (for some wish washy meaning of interact) with more than 20 inodes. But in fact some operations like loading kernel modules can cause changes to lots of inodes in debugfs. There are a couple real fixes being bandied about including removing the fixed compile time limit of 20 or not auditing changes in debugfs (or both) but neither are small and obvious so I am not sending them for immediate inclusion (I hope Al forwards a real solution next devel window). In the meantime this patch simply adds 'audit' to the beginning of the crap message so if a user sees it, they come blame me first and we can talk about what it means and make sure we understand all of the reasons it can happen and make sure this gets solved correctly in the long run.

This is a kgdb architectural change to have all the cpus (master or slave) enter the same function. A cpu that hits an exception (wants to be the master cpu) will call kgdb_handle_exception() from the trap handler and then invoke a kgdb_roundup_cpu() to synchronize the other cpus and bring them into the kgdb_handle_exception() as well. A slave cpu will enter kgdb_handle_exception() from the kgdb_nmicallback() and set the exception state to note that the processor is a slave. Previously the salve cpu would have called kgdb_wait(). This change allows the debug core to change cpus without resuming the system in order to inspect arch specific cpu information. Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered in perf_swevent_add(). Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread. Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event, we need to save the current context. This makes the task migration event working and fix the context switch callchains and origin ip. Example: perf record -a -e cs Before: 10.91% ksoftirqd/0 0 [k] 0000000000000000 | --- (nil) perf_callchain perf_prepare_sample __perf_event_overflow perf_swevent_overflow perf_swevent_add perf_swevent_ctx_event do_perf_sw_event __perf_sw_event perf_event_task_sched_out schedule run_ksoftirqd kthread kernel_thread_helper After: 23.77% hald-addon-stor [kernel.kallsyms] [k] schedule | --- schedule | |--60.00%-- schedule_timeout | wait_for_common | wait_for_completion | blk_execute_rq | scsi_execute | scsi_execute_req | sr_test_unit_ready | | | |--66.67%-- sr_media_change | | media_changed | | cdrom_media_changed | | sr_block_media_changed | | check_disk_change | | cdrom_open v2: Always build perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() now that software events need that too.

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8 by alloc_percpu(). But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT() macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment. Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get shrinked under us. This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock in sparc 64.

Network folks reported that directing all MSI-X vectors of their multi queue NICs to a single core can cause interrupt stack overflows when enough interrupts fire at the same time. This is caused by the fact that we run interrupt handlers by default with interrupts enabled unless the driver reuqests the interrupt with the IRQF_DISABLED set. The NIC handlers do not set this flag, so simultaneous interrupts can nest unlimited and cause the stack overflow. The only safe counter measure is to run the interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled. We can't switch to this mode in general right now, but it is safe to do so for MSI interrupts. Force IRQF_DISABLED for MSI interrupt handlers.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

lockdep has custom code to check whether a pointer belongs to static percpu area which is somewhat broken. Implement proper is_kernel/module_percpu_address() and replace the custom code. On UP, percpu variables are regular static variables and can't be distinguished from them. Always return %false on UP.

Better encapsulate module static percpu area handling so that code outsidef of CONFIG_SMP ifdef doesn't deal with mod->percpu directly and add mod->percpu_size and record percpu_size in it. Both percpu fields are compiled out on UP. While at it, mark mod->percpu w/ __percpu. This is to prepare for is_module_percpu_address().

When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates that the task should remain frozen. This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this transition before suspend. NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons: Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen. Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered. Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

show_state will dump all tasks state, so if freezer failed to freeze any task, kernel will dump all tasks state and flood the dmesg log.
