      exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec() · 96e02d15
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
      bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
      This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
      "complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
      may free the passed in filename.
      To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
      contains the now early generated task name until it is used.
      
      Fixes this bug on s390:

      PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change · d020283d
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      Looks like change "PM QoS: Move and rename the implementation files"
      merged during the 3.2 development cycle made PM QoS depend on
      CONFIG_PM which depends on (PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME).
      
      That breaks CPU C-states with kernels not having these CONFIGs, causing CPUs
      to spend time in Polling loop idle instead of going into deep C-states,
      consuming way way more power. This is with either acpi idle or intel idle
      enabled.
      
      Either CONFIG_PM should be enabled with any pm_qos users or
      the !CONFIG_PM pm_qos_request() should return sane defaults not to break
      the existing users. Here's is the patch for the latter option.

      perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling · e050e3f0
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
      
      It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
      unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
      timer tick.
      
      This patch solves this problem and also separates:
      
        - unthrottling
        - multiplexing
        - frequency-mode period adjustments
      
      Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
      
      This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
      PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
      
      At each timer tick, for each context:
      
        - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
      
        - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
      
        - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
      
      We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
      period adjustments.  They should not necessarily happen at the same
      rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
      but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
      
      We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
      same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
      frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
      
      We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
      There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
      because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
      place.
      
      The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
      frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
      
      On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
       2000
      
      We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
      
       $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000  noploop 10
       $ perf report -D | tail -21
      
       Aggregated stats:
                 TOTAL events:      80086
                  MMAP events:         88

            UNTHROTTLE events:       9998
                SAMPLE events:      20000
      
      For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.
      We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.

      tty: rework pty count limiting · e9aba515
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      After adding devpts multiple-insrances sysctl kernel.pty.max limit pty count for
      each devpts instance independently, while kernel.pty.nr shows total pty count.
      
      This patch restores sysctl kernel.pty.max as global limit (4096 by default),
      adds pty reseve for main devpts (mounted without "newinstance" argument),
      and new sysctl to tune it: kernel.pty.reserve (1024 by default)
      
      Also it adds devpts mount option "max=%d" to limit pty count for each devpts
      instance independently. (by default NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX == 2^20)
      
      Thus devpts instances in containers cannot eat up all available pty even if we didn't
      set any limits, while with "max" argument we can adjust limits more precisely.
      
      Plus, now open("/dev/ptmx") return -ENOSPC in case lack of pty indexes,
      this is more informative than -EIO.

      devpts_get_tty() returns non-null only for inodes on devpts, but there is no
      inodes for master-devices, /dev/ptmx (/dev/pts/ptmx) is the only way to open them.
      Thus we can completely forbid lookup for master-devices and eliminate that hack in
      tty_init_dev() because tty_open() will get EIO from tty_driver_lookup_tty().
