This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit b2b2cbc4b2a2f389442549399a993a8306420baf. When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb133baa2e9dc8efd40f417106b2ee520f3
"do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit
73243284463a761e04d69d22c7516b2be7de096c. The rationale for the original
commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.
This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.
There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions.
The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto.
do_wait_thread and ptrace_do_wait contain the main work of the outer loop.
wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.

We can avoid taking the BKL in snapshot_ioctl() if pm_mutex is used to prevent
the ioctls from being executed concurrently.
In addition, although it is only possible to open /dev/snapshot once, the task
which has done that may spawn a child that will inherit the open descriptor,
so in theory they can call snapshot_write(), snapshot_read() and
snapshot_release() concurrently. pm_mutex can also be used for mutual
exclusion in such cases.

The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from
user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it
does not send fake signals to kernel threads. However, there are
kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave like
user space tasks and may want to be sent a fake signal to be frozen.
Introduce the new process flag PF_FREEZER_NOSIG that will be set
by default for all kernel threads and make the freezer only send
fake signals to the tasks having PF_FREEZER_NOSIG unset. Provide
the set_freezable_with_signal() function to be called by the kernel
threads that want to be sent a fake signal for freezing.
This patch should not change the freezer's observable behavior.

The ACPI device node for the cpu has already been unregistered
when acpi_processor_handle_eject is called.
Thus we should offline the cpu and continue, rather than a failure here.

When a GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, it falls back to allocating the

Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested. This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.
Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.
In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label. This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).
This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).
Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

When callbacks are moved from offline cpu to this cpu,
the qlen field of this rdp should be updated.
[ Paul E. McKenney: ]
The effect of this bug would be for force_quiescent_state() to be invoked
when it should not and vice versa -- wasting cycles in the first case
and letting RCU callbacks remain piled up in the second case. The bug
is thus "benign" in that it does not result in premature grace-period
termination, but should of course be fixed nonetheless.
Preemption is disabled by the caller's get_cpu_var(), so we are guaranteed
to remain on the same CPU, as required. The local_irq_disable() is indeed
needed, otherwise, an interrupt might invoke call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh(),
which could cause that interrupt's increment of ->qlen to be lost.

* 'sched-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage
|
|
Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)
does the following:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

The sched_clock code currently tries to keep all CPU clocks of all CPUS
somewhat in sync. At every clock tick it records the gtod clock and
uses that and jiffies and the TSC to calculate a CPU clock that tries to
stay in sync with all the other CPUs.
ftrace depends heavily on this timer and it detects when this timer
"jumps". One problem is that the TSC and the gtod also drift.
When the TSC is 0.1% faster or slower than the gtod it is very noticeable
in ftrace. To help compensate for this, I've added a multiplier that
tries to keep the CPU clock updating at the same rate as the gtod.
I've tried various ways to get it to be in sync and this ended up being
the most reliable. At every scheduler tick we calculate the new multiplier:
multi = delta_gtod / delta_TSC
This means we perform a 64 bit divide at the tick (once a HZ). A shift
is used to handle the accuracy.
Other methods that failed due to dynamic HZ are:
(not used) multi += (gtod - tsc) / delta_gtod
(not used) multi += (gtod - (last_tsc + delta_tsc)) / delta_gtod
as well as other variants.
This code still allows for a slight drift between TSC and gtod, but
it keeps the damage down to a minimum.

To read the gtod we need to grab the xtime lock for read. Reading the gtod
before the TSC can cause a bigger gab if the xtime lock is contended.
This patch simply reverses the order to read the TSC after the gtod.
The locking in the reading of the gtod handles any barriers one might
think is needed.

Reading the CPU clock should try to stay accurate within the CPU.
By reading the CPU clock from another CPU and updating the deltas can
cause unneeded jumps when reading from the local CPU.
This patch changes the code to update the last read TSC only when read
from the local CPU.

The algorithm to calculate the 'now' of another CPU is not correct.
At each scheduler tick, each CPU records the last sched_clock and
gtod (tick_raw and tick_gtod respectively). If the TSC is somewhat the
same in speed between two clocks the algorithm would be:
tick_gtod1 + (now1 - tick_raw1) = tick_gtod2 + (now2 - tick_raw2)
To calculate now2 we would have:
now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw2 - tick_raw1) + now1
Currently the algorithm is:
now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw1 - tick_raw2) + now1
This solves most of the rest of the issues I've had with timestamps in
ftace.

Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with
the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also
caused the irqoff self tests to fail.
What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and
before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad
delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.
The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.
On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies
(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have
correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the
jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving
forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.
The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then
the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind
since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock
forward by several jiffies.
This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off
latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.
This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the
maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check
when nohz has updated the jiffies again.
