compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:
(void __user *)entry + futex_offset
'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').
Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.
Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.
This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().
Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.
Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.
Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():
1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1
I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

This patch adds a proper prototype for migration_init() in

SMP balancing is done with IRQs disabled and can iterate the full rq.
When rqs are large this can cause large irq-latencies. Limit the nr of
iterations on each run.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups.
There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test:
- The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with
atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu
controllers are active in the same hierarchy).
# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl
(or simply)
# mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers
in same hierarchy.
- The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child
to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone->
cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone->
attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler
related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has
inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on
runqueue, when it isn't.
As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which
initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before
copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will
cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue?
- The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair()
assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which
needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL
for the child.
The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in
task_new_fair().
With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
|

PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup
related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent
legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick
that clears peer_preempt.
Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have
excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off. (and
removed in the next patch)

Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().
This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.
This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().
account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.

75d4ef16a6aa84f708188bada182315f80aab6fa. rq no longer has sched_info
data associated with it. task_struct sched_info structure is used by delay
accounting to provide back statistics to user space.

do anymore) and use rq->clock instead.

we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization
that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio
is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the
ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable,
while keeping the ratio maintained internally.
no functionality changed.

commit 029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.
Fixes:
1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
we can't walk the domains before we build them
presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
directories or files).
2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.
While the the function would always dereference null if called
twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the
sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
free it would have shown the error.
3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always
unregister. Without calling register on the way out we
will not have a table or any sysctl tree.
4) warn if register is called without unregistering
The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
tables.
Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):

As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers
to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example,
the tg3 driver does
tp->irq_sync = 1;
smp_mb();
synchronize_irq();
and then in the IRQ handler:
if (!tp->irq_sync)
netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi);
Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in
pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the
IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't
actually protect us.
In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the
result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible.
This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin
locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.
