do_wait() does BUG_ON(tsk->signal != current->signal), this looks like a raher obsolete check. At least, I don't think do_wait() is the best place to verify that all threads have the same ->signal. Remove it. Also, change the code to use while_each_thread().

Now that we don't pass &retval down to other helpers we can simplify the code more. - kill tsk_result, just use retval - add the "notask" label right after the main loop, and s/got end/goto notask/ after the fastpath pid check. This way we don't need to initialize retval before this check and the code becomes a bit more clean, if this pid has no attached tasks we should just skip the list search.

Introduce "struct wait_opts" which holds the parameters for misc helpers in do_wait() pathes. This adds 13 lines to kernel/exit.c, but saves 256 bytes from .o and imho makes the code much more readable. This patch temporary uglifies rusage/siginfo code a little bit, will be addressed by further cleanups.

No functional changes, preparation for the next patch. ptrace_do_wait() adds WUNTRACED to options for wait_task_stopped() which should always accept the stopped tracee, even if do_wait() was called without WUNTRACED. Change wait_task_stopped() to check "ptrace || WUNTRACED" instead. This makes the code more explicit, and "int options" argument becomes const in do_wait() pathes.

Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() - from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all. With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace, but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently. However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock() to pin task->mm for get_dumpable(). But we can call __ptrace_may_access() before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags. (ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()). NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.

- Add PF_KTHREAD check to prevent attaching to the kernel thread with a borrowed ->mm. With or without this change we can race with daemonize() which can set PF_KTHREAD or clear ->mm after ptrace_attach() does the check, but this doesn't matter because reparent_to_kthreadd() does ptrace_unlink(). - Kill "!task->mm" check. We don't really care about ->mm != NULL, and the task can call exit_mm() right after we drop task_lock(). What we need is to make sure we can't attach after exit_notify(), check task->exit_state != 0 instead. Also, move the "already traced" check down for cosmetic reasons.

The 'noprefix' option was introduced for backwards-compatibility of cpuset, but actually it can be used when mounting other subsystems. This results in possibility of name collision, and now the collision can really happen, because we have 'stat' file in both memory and cpuacct subsystem: # mount -t cgroup -o noprefix,memory,cpuacct xxx /mnt Cgroup will happily mount the 2 subsystems, but only 'stat' file of memory subsys can be seen. We don't want users to use nopreifx, and also want to avoid name collision, so we change to allow noprefix only if mounting just the cpuset subsystem.

Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary with round_jiffies(). The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation. This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a separate helper function. By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out. This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power.

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr after memory_spread_page was set. it is caused by the old mem_allowed and flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in time.

Several WARN_ON() messages omit the '\n' at the end of the string, which is a simple (and understandable) error. The next line printed after that warning line is usually the current module list, and that printk does not have a log-level marker - resulting in one long mixed-up line.

This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk with the default loglevel. The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of /sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a, in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the same uid over and over. This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody", to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users. This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced uid can possibly be re-used by another process. This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a binary, which changes the uid, creates two events: $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \ read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ echo $(($END - $START)) 178 With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes a bit faster too: $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \ read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \ echo $(($END - $START)) 1 Acked-by: NDhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NKay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When this dynamically allocated structure is copied to the stack (in arch- specific delivery code), kmemcheck sees a read from the padding, which is, naturally, uninitialized. Hide the false positive using the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag. Also made the rlimit override code a bit clearer by introducing a new variable.

With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option). Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for atomicity.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution. Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

commit 3f68535a (clocksource: sanity check sysfs clocksource changes) prevents selection of non high resolution capable clocksources when high resolution mode is active, but did not take into account that the same rules apply for highres=off nohz=on. Check the tick device mode instead of hrtimer_hres_active() to verify whether the system needs to be protected from a switch to jiffies or other non highres capable clock sources.

Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the error reports to the kernel log. The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead of on the tail. Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault. In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the message to appear. Signed-off-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

The *_nvs_* routines in swsusp.c make use of the io*map() functions, which are only provided for HAS_IOMEM, thus breaking compilation if HAS_IOMEM is not set. Fix this by moving the *_nvs_* routines into hibernate_nvs.c, which is only compiled if HAS_IOMEM is set.
