Functions task_{u,s}time() are called in pair in almost all cases. However task_stime() is implemented to call task_utime() from its inside, so such paired calls run task_utime() twice. It means we do heavy divisions (div_u64 + do_div) twice to get utime and stime which can be obtained at same time by one set of divisions. This patch introduces a function task_times(*tsk, *utime, *stime) to retrieve utime and stime at once in better, optimized way.

Since commit 02b51df1 (proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning: Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143 [...] Krnl PSW : 0404c00180000000 00000000001481d4 (local_bh_enable+0xb0/0xe0) [...] Call Trace: ([<000000013fe04100>] 0x13fe04100) [<000000000048a946>] sk_filter+0x9a/0xd0 [<000000000049d938>] netlink_broadcast+0x2c0/0x53c [<00000000003ba9ae>] cn_netlink_send+0x272/0x2b0 [<00000000003baef0>] proc_sid_connector+0xc4/0xd4 [<0000000000142604>] __set_special_pids+0x58/0x90 [<0000000000159938>] sys_setsid+0xb4/0xd8 [<00000000001187fe>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<00000041616cb266>] 0x41616cb266 The warning is ---> WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled()); The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the connector. After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from __set_special_pids to sys_setsid. We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM. One last thing: There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an additional patch (Scott?)

Current behaviour of sys_waitid() looks odd. If user passes infop == NULL, sys_waitid() returns success. When user additionally specifies flag WNOWAIT, sys_waitid() returns -EFAULT on the same conditions. When user combines WNOWAIT with WCONTINUED, sys_waitid() again returns success. This patch adds check for ->wo_info in wait_noreap_copyout(). User-visible change: starting from this commit, sys_waitid() always checks infop != NULL and does not fail if it is NULL.

do_wait() checks ->wo_info to figure out who is the caller. If it's not NULL the caller should be sys_waitid(), in that case do_wait() fixes up the retval or zeros ->wo_info, depending on retval from underlying function. This is bug: user can pass ->wo_info == NULL and sys_waitid() will return incorrect value. man 2 waitid says: waitid(): returns 0 on success Test-case: int main(void) { if (fork()) assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WEXITED) == 0); return 0; } Result: Assertion `waitid(P_ALL, 0, ((void *)0), 4) == 0' failed. Move that code to sys_waitid(). User-visible change: sys_waitid() will return 0 on success, either infop is set or not. Note, there's another bug in wait_noreap_copyout() which affects return value of sys_waitid(). It will be fixed in next patch.

task_pid_type() is only used by eligible_pid() which has to check wo_type != PIDTYPE_MAX anyway. Remove this check from task_pid_type() and factor out ->pids[type] access, this shrinks .text a bit and simplifies the code. The matches the behaviour of other similar helpers, say get_task_pid(). The caller must ensure that pid_type is valid, not the callee.

child_wait_callback()->eligible_child() is not right, we can miss the wakeup if the task was detached before __wake_up_parent() and the caller of do_wait() didn't use __WALL. Move ->wo_pid checks from eligible_child() to the new helper, eligible_pid(), and change child_wait_callback() to use it instead of eligible_child(). Note: actually I think it would be better to fix the __WCLONE check in eligible_child(), it doesn't look exactly right. But it is not clear what is the supposed behaviour, and any change is user-visible.

Suggested by Roland. do_wait(__WNOTHREAD) can only succeed if the caller is either ptracer, or it is ->real_parent and the child is not traced. IOW, caller == p->parent otherwise we should not wake up. Change child_wait_callback() to check this. Ratan reports the workload with CPU load >99% caused by unnecessary wakeups, should be fixed by this patch.

Every waiting thread in the process wakes up to loop through the children and see that the only ones it cares about are still not ready. Now that we have struct wait_opts we can change do_wait/__wake_up_parent to use filtered wakeups. We can make child_wait_callback() more clever later, right now it only checks eligible_child().

The bug is old, it wasn't cause by recent changes. Test case: static void *tfunc(void *arg) { int pid = (long)arg; assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL) == 0); kill(pid, SIGKILL); sleep(1); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t th; long pid = fork(); if (!pid) pause(); signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN); assert(pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, (void*)pid) == 0); int r = waitpid(-1, NULL, __WNOTHREAD); printf("waitpid: %d %m\n", r); return 0; } Before the patch this program hangs, after this patch waitpid() correctly fails with errno == -ECHILD. The problem is, __ptrace_detach() reaps the EXIT_ZOMBIE tracee if its ->real_parent is our sub-thread and we ignore SIGCHLD. But in this case we should wake up other threads which can sleep in do_wait().

Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater mark. This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall. ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed. To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill ->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm struct exists.

The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a supervising init daemon such as Upstart. While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a daemon, it is rare for its children to do so. When the children do, it is nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the parent and not supervised along with it. The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid() so that they may control the pty connected to them. If the primary daemon dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children. This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

The bug is ancient. If we trace the sub-thread of our natural child and this sub-thread exits, we update parent->signal->cxxx fields. But we should not do this until the whole thread-group exits, otherwise we account this thread (and all other live threads) twice. Add the task_detached() check. No need to check thread_group_empty(), wait_consider_task()->delay_group_leader() already did this.

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 replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

I was never able to understand what should we actually do when security_task_wait() fails, but the current code doesn't look right. If ->task_wait() returns the error, we update *notask_error correctly. But then we either reap the child (despite the fact this was forbidden) or clear *notask_error (and hide the securiy policy problems). This patch assumes that "stolen by ptrace" doesn't matter. If selinux denies the child we should ignore it but make sure we report -EACCESS instead of -ECHLD if there are no other eligible children.

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/mytrace.h> This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/foo.h> #include <trace/bar.h> #include <trace/fido.h> Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.
