In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in
various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes. We haven't
had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the
unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good
internal checks it does.
Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's
probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40. I
have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible,
so 40 should be OK too. (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere
between 100 and 200 entries. If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to
be iteration-based. Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion,
so i'd like to keep recursion as long as possible.)

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.
Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.
The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.
On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

rcu_random uses a counter rrs_count to occasionally mix data from
get_random_bytes into the state of its pseudorandom generator. However,
the rrs_counter gets declared as an unsigned long, and rcu_random checks
for --rrs_count < 0, so this code will never mix any real random data into
the state, and will thus always return the same sequence of random numbers.
Also, change the return value of rcu_random from long to unsigned long, to
avoid potential issues caused by the use of the % operator, which can

This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
(Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An
SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On
the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
deallocated).
SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom. The proposed
"task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections. SRCU is as follows:
o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is
critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
subsystems.
o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.
o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.
o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the
need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I
kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.
Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
while in an SRCU read-side critical section.
o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement
one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
-not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it,
please tell me why...

With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.
Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards. First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.
This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems. The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation. The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.
To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.
create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq. The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.
destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.
Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.
dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation. Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.
On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
mask irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
ack irq.
level_triggered:
mask irq.
ack irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq. However the level triggered case does not map well. For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.
Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?
A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
migration no problems show up.
We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.
Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
do not propogate in the same way.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure. The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq. My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.
- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.
With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit. Removing a lot of brittle
special cases.
For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.
- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
patches. But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
even knows what a vector is.
In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today. But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.
This patch:
This is a minor space optimization. In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

Currently the kernel audit system represents arch's as numbers and will
gladly accept comparisons between archs using >, <, >=, <= when the only
thing that makes sense is = or !=. I'm told that the next revision of
auditctl will do this checking but this will provide enforcement in the
kernel even for old userspace. A simple command to show the issue would
be to run
auditctl -d entry,always -F arch>i686 -S chmod
with this patch the kernel will reject this with -EINVAL
Please comment/ack/nak as soon as possible.

Up to now sched group's cpu_power for each sched domain is initialized
independently. This made the setup code ugly as the new sched domains are
getting added.
Make the sched group cpu_power setup code generic, by using domain child
field and new domain flag in sched_domain. For most of the sched
domains(except NUMA), sched group's cpu_power is now computed generically
using the domain properties of itself and of the child domain.
sched groups in NUMA domains are setup little differently and hence they
don't use this generic mechanism.

Force /sbin/init off isolated cpus (unless every CPU is specified as an
isolcpu).
Users seem to think that the isolated CPUs shouldn't have much running on
them to begin with. That's fair enough: intuitive, I guess. It also means
that the cpu affinity masks of tasks will not include isolcpus by default,
which is also more intuitive, perhaps.
/sbin/init is spawned from the boot CPU's idle thread, and /sbin/init
starts the rest of userspace. So if the boot CPU is specified to be an
isolcpu, then prior to this patch, all of userspace will be run there.
(throw in a couple of plausible devinit -> cpuinit conversions I spotted
while we're here).

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.
Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.
It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).
This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with
/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the
__KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno
variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a
global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code.
This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the
kernel syscalls are gone.

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
work, say, on powerpc)

File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes. By

pids aren't something that drivers should care about. However there are a lot
of helper layers in the kernel that do care, and are built as modules. Before
I can convert them to using struct pid instead of pid_t I need to export the
appropriate symbols so they can continue to be built.

Currently the signal functions all either take a task or a pid_t argument.
This patch implements variants that take a struct pid *. After all of the
users have been update it is my intention to remove the variants that take a
pid_t as using pid_t can be more work (an extra hash table lookup) and
difficult to get right in the presence of multiple pid namespaces.
There are two kinds of functions introduced in this patch. The are the
general use functions kill_pgrp and kill_pid which take a priv argument that
is ultimately used to create the appropriate siginfo information, Then there
are _kill_pgrp_info, kill_pgrp_info, kill_pid_info the internal implementation
helpers that take an explicit siginfo.
The distinction is made because filling out an explcit siginfo is tricky, and
will be even more tricky when pid namespaces are introduced.

The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.
This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.
Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.
This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.
These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.
These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.
The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.
If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.
In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.
Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

If a module is did not taint the kernel, it is just listed like
usbcore
but if it did taint the kernel, it is listed like
wizmodem(PF)

Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support to
pipe core dumps into programs.
This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl
with a new syntax:
|program
When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will instead
threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be
written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without filling up
disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only a summary of
the core dump.
The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space of
the process that caused the core dump.
I also increased the core pattern size to 128 bytes so that longer command
lines fit.
Most of the changes comes from allowing core dumps without seeks. They are
fairly straight forward though.
One small incompatibility is that if someone had a core pattern previously
that started with '|' they will get suddenly new behaviour. I think that's
unlikely to be a real problem though.
Additional background:

I had a cheesy demo/prototype. Basically it wrote the dump to a file again,
ran gdb on it to get a backtrace and wrote the summary to a shared directory.
Then there was a simple CGI script to generate a "top 10" crashes HTML
listing.
Unfortunately this still had the disadvantage to needing full disk space for a
dump except for deleting it afterwards (in fact it was worse because over the
pipe holes didn't work so if you have a holey address map it would require
more space).
Fortunately gdb seems to be happy to handle /proc/pid/fd/xxx input pipes as
cores (at least it worked with zsh's =(cat core) syntax), so it would be
likely possible to do it without temporary space with a simple wrapper that
calls it in the right way. I ran out of time before doing that though.
The demo prototype scripts weren't very good. If there is really interest I
can dig them out (they are currently on a laptop disk on the desk with the
laptop itself being in service), but I would recommend to rewrite them for any
serious application of this and fix the disk space problem.
Also to be really useful it should probably find a way to automatically fetch
the debuginfos (I cheated and just installed them in advance). If nobody else
does it I can probably do the rewrite myself again at some point.
My hope at some point was that desktops would support it in their builtin
crash reporters, but at least the KDE people I talked too seemed to be happy
with their user space only solution.
Alan sayeth:
I don't believe that piping as such as neccessarily the right model, but
the ability to intercept and processes core dumps from user space is asked
for by many enterprise users as well. They want to know about, capture,
analyse and process core dumps, often centrally and in automated form.

The addition of the CSA patch pushed the size of struct taskstats to 256
bytes. This exposed a problem with prepare_reply(), we were not allocating
space for the netlink and genetlink header. It worked earlier because
alloc_skb() would align the skb to SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which added some additonal
bytes.
