ptrace: PTRACE_DETACH should do flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child)
Change ptrace_detach() to call flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child). This
frees the slots for non-ptrace PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT users, and this
ensures that the tracee won't be killed by SIGTRAP triggered by the
active breakpoints.
Test-case:
unsigned long encode_dr7(int drnum, int enable, unsigned int type, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned long dr7;
dr7 = ((len | type) & 0xf)
<< (DR_CONTROL_SHIFT + drnum * DR_CONTROL_SIZE);
if (enable)
dr7 |= (DR_GLOBAL_ENABLE << (drnum * DR_ENABLE_SIZE));
return dr7;
}
int write_dr(int pid, int dr, unsigned long val)
{
return ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, pid,
offsetof (struct user, u_debugreg[dr]),
val);
}
void func(void)
{
}
int main(void)
{
int pid, stat;
unsigned long dr7;
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
kill(getpid(), SIGHUP);
func();
return 0x13;
}
assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP);
assert(write_dr(pid, 0, (long)func) == 0);
dr7 = encode_dr7(0, 1, DR_RW_EXECUTE, DR_LEN_1);
assert(write_dr(pid, 7, dr7) == 0);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);
return 0;
}
Before this patch the child is killed after PTRACE_DETACH.

audit: fix mq_open and mq_unlink to add the MQ root as a hidden parent audit_names record
The old audit PATH records for mq_open looked like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=1 name=(null) inode=6777 dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023 type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=26732 dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023 ...with the audit related changes that went into 3.7, they now look like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=2 name=(null) inode=66655 dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023 type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=1 name=(null) inode=6926 dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023 type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=0 name="test_mq" Both of these look wrong to me. As Steve Grubb pointed out: "What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ. The other PATH records probably should not be there." Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting. With this change, we get a single PATH record that looks more like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914 dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0 In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is added. If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is inactive.

Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer changes contain:
- posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
- sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
duplication by other architectures
- alarm timer updates
- clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
- clocksource/events support for new hardware
- precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
- generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
- the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of
trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
tree merge dependencies.
The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and
next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
collected them last minute."

hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context
smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime accounting
When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account) increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting. However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop signal->cputimer accounting. This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): consolidate the lockless CLONE_THREAD checks
copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets "p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if !thread_group_leader(p).

kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): don't add the uninitialized child to thread/task/pid lists
copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say, "ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice. We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully initialized. And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list. attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always called after pid_link->pid was already set.

fork: reorder permissions when violating number of processes limits
When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0. A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the task passing the uid=0 check. This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource, since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this capability many places since it is so powerful. This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are launched.)

ptrace: add ability to get/set signal-blocked mask
crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE. Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals. This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing. This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask. I think gdb can use this commands too.

posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exit
When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta
before expiring of its timers.
This is done from the following places:
* When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of
posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to
the timer struct instead of the absolute value.
(See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() )
* When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule().
If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these
places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time
is performed. Then the given task's reference is released.
(See clear_dead_task() ).
The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another
and deeper debate.
The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix
up very well together.
More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting
in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by
the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario:
1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit()
and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative
delta.
2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on
clear_dead_task() because tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.
The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return
a wrong result.
To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time. It
doesn't bring much value on its own. The caching done from
posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough.
And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and
clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are
dealing with a relative cached of absolute value. But it would be racy.
The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we
know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its
target task reference. Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to
avoid circular lock against the sighand lock. There is just no reason to
maintain this.
The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the
following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer
which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2
seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value.
Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value
minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds:
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <pthread.h>
static timer_t id;
static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new;
static void *thread(void *unused)
{
int err;
struct timeval start, end, diff;
timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
if (err < 0) {
perror("Can't create timer\n");
return NULL;
}
/* Arm 10 sec timer */
err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
if (err < 0) {
perror("Can't set timer\n");
return NULL;
}
/* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
do {
gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
timersub(&end, &start, &diff);
} while (diff.tv_sec < 2);
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t pthread;
int err;
err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL);
if (err) {
perror("Can't create thread\n");
return -1;
}
pthread_join(pthread, NULL);
/* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */
sleep(1);
err = timer_gettime(id, &new);
if (err)
perror("Can't get timer value\n");
printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec);
return 0;
}
Before the patch:
$ ./posix_cpu_timers
6 2278074
After the patch:
$ ./posix_cpu_timers
8 1158766
Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule()
In order to re-arm a timer after it fired, we take a sample of the current
process or thread cputime.
If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the
remaining timer expiration delta for further reads.
Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget
to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it.
As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further
reads of that timer to return junk values.
Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide
timers.
This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the
thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify(). This
implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers
to handle for that task.
So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic
and the warning that came along:
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule':
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function
Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

posix_cpu_timer: consolidate expiry time type
The posix cpu timer expiry time is stored in a union of two types: a 64 bits field if we rely on scheduler precise accounting, or a cputime_t if we rely on jiffies. This results in quite some duplicate code and special cases to handle the two types. Just unify this into a single 64 bits field. cputime_t can always fit into it.

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
"cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
descendants irreversibly and so on. These behaviors are inherently
nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.
Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
__DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
request. It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior. In the process, the
rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"This pull request contains the following changes.
- cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to
percpu-ref. css is what each resource controller embeds into its
own control structure and perform reference count against. It may
be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module
refcnt in that aspect. For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting
was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work
and this should alleviate it.
- cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can
be released after grabbing reference. This allows simplifying its
users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list
under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside. This pull
request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup.
A separate pull request will update cpuset.
- Fixes for various bugs including corner race conditions and RCU
usage bugs.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues |

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling
used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger
tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
holding, ie the younger task is wounded.
See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:
https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/
The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
have already been implemented for the DRM tree).
Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details"

Pull FS-Cache updates from David Howells:
"This contains a number of fixes for various FS-Cache issues plus some
cleanups. The commits are, in order:
1) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() sharing
the bit-wait table (enhancement for #8).
2) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may have
a do {} while(0) wrapper (cleanup).
3) Symbolically name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers
in CacheFiles (cleanup).
4) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs
ext4).
5) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup for #7).
6) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup for #7).
7) Simplify the object state machine by separating work states from
wait states.
8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (NULL pointer deref fix).
9) Remove unused list_to_page() macro (cleanup).
10) Make the remaining-pages counter in the retrieval op atomic
(assertion failure fix).
11) Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions (assertion failure fix)"

tick: Sanitize broadcast control logic
The recent implementation of a generic dummy timer resulted in a
different registration order of per cpu local timers which made the
broadcast control logic go belly up.
If the dummy timer is the first clock event device which is registered
for a CPU, then it is installed, the broadcast timer is initialized
and the CPU is marked as broadcast target.
If a real clock event device is installed after that, we can fail to
take the CPU out of the broadcast mask. In the worst case we end up
with two periodic timer events firing for the same CPU. One from the
per cpu hardware device and one from the broadcast.
Now the problem is that we have no way to distinguish whether the
system is in a state which makes broadcasting necessary or the
broadcast bit was set due to the nonfunctional dummy timer
installment.
To solve this we need to keep track of the system state seperately and
provide a more detailed decision logic whether we keep the CPU in
broadcast mode or not.
The old decision logic only clears the broadcast mode, if the newly
installed clock event device is not affected by power states.
The new logic clears the broadcast mode if one of the following is
true:
- The new device is not affected by power states.
- The system is not in a power state affected mode
- The system has switched to oneshot mode. The oneshot broadcast is
controlled from the deep idle state. The CPU is not in idle at
this point, so it's safe to remove it from the mask.
If we clear the broadcast bit for the CPU when a new device is
installed, we also shutdown the broadcast device when this was the
last CPU in the broadcast mask.
If the broadcast bit is kept, then we leave the new device in shutdown
state and rely on the broadcast to deliver the timer interrupts via
the broadcast ipis.

tick: Prevent uncontrolled switch to oneshot mode
When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without updating the state and the timer handler. CPU0 CPU1 per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode and switched to broadcast Switch to oneshot mode tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask, tick_broadcast_mask); broadcast device mode = oneshot Timer interrupt irq_enter() tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() dev->set_mode(ONESHOT); tick_handle_periodic() if (dev->mode == ONESHOT) dev->next_event += period; FAIL. We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened. We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode. So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode. This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.
