When a controller is enabled and visible on a non-root cgroup is
determined by subtree_control and subtree_ss_mask of the parent
cgroup. For a root cgroup, by the type of the hierarchy and which
controllers are attached to it. Deciding the above on each usage is
fragile and unnecessarily complicates the users.
This patch introduces cgroup_control() and cgroup_ss_mask() which
calculate and return the [visibly] enabled subsyste mask for the
specified cgroup and conver the existing usages.
* cgroup_e_css() is restructured for simplicity.
* cgroup_calc_subtree_ss_mask() and cgroup_subtree_control_write() no
longer need to distinguish root and non-root cases.
* With cgroup_control(), cgroup_controllers_show() can now handle both
root and non-root cases. cgroup_root_controllers_show() is removed.
v2: cgroup_control() updated to yield the correct result on v1
hierarchies too. cgroup_subtree_control_write() converted.

We're in the process of refactoring cgroup and css management paths to
separate them out to eventually allow cgroups which aren't visible
through cgroup fs. This patch factors out cgroup_create() out of
cgroup_mkdir(). cgroup_create() contains all internal object creation
and initialization. cgroup_mkdir() uses cgroup_create() to create the
internal cgroup and adds interface directory and file creation.
This patch doesn't cause any behavior differences.

Currently, whether a css (cgroup_subsys_state) has its interface files
created is not tracked and assumed to change together with the owning
cgroup's lifecycle. cgroup directory and interface creation is being
separated out from internal object creation to help refactoring and
eventually allow cgroups which are not visible through cgroupfs.
This patch adds CSS_VISIBLE to track whether a css has its interface
files created and perform management operations only when necessary
which helps decoupling interface file handling from internal object
lifecycle. After this patch, all css interface file management
functions can be called regardless of the current state and will
achieve the expected result.

During task migration, tasks may transfer between two css_sets which
are associated with the same cgroup. If those tasks are the only
tasks in the cgroup, this currently triggers a spurious de-populated
event on the cgroup.
Fix it by bumping up populated count before bumping it down during
migration to ensure that it doesn't reach zero spuriously.

css_sets are hashed by their subsys[] contents and in cgroup_init()
init_css_set is hashed early, before subsystem inits, when all entries
in its subsys[] are NULL, so that cgroup_dfl_root initialization can
find and link to it. As subsystems are initialized,
init_css_set.subsys[] is filled up but the hashing is never updated
making init_css_set hashed in the wrong place. While incorrect, this
doesn't cause a critical failure as css_set management code would
create an identical css_set dynamically.
Fix it by rehashing init_css_set after subsystems are initialized.

An associated css can be around for quite a while after a cgroup
directory has been removed. In general, it makes sense to reset it to
defaults so as not to worry about any remnants. For instance, memory
cgroup needs to reset memory.low, otherwise pages charged to a dead
cgroup might never get reclaimed. There's ->css_reset callback, which
would fit perfectly for the purpose. Currently, it's only called when a
subsystem is disabled in the unified hierarchy and there are other
subsystems dependant on it. Let's call it on css destruction as well.

No internal process rule is enforced by cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst()
during process migration. It tests whether the target cgroup's
->child_subsys_mask is zero which is different from "subtree_control"
write path which tests ->subtree_control. This hasn't mattered
because up until now, both ->child_subsys_mask and ->subtree_control
are zero or non-zero at the same time. However, with the planned
addition of implicit controllers, this will no longer be true.
This patch prepares for the change by making
cgorup_migrate_prepare_dst() test ->subtree_control instead.

There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free(). Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children. This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.
The previous patch updated ordering for css_offline() which fixes the
cpu controller issue. While there currently isn't a known bug caused
by misordering of css_free() invocations, let's fix it too for
consistency.
css_free() ordering can be trivially fixed by moving putting of the

If "cpuset.memory_migrate" is set, when a process is moved from one
cpuset to another with a different memory node mask, pages in used by
the process are migrated to the new set of nodes. This was performed
synchronously in the ->attach() callback, which is synchronized
against process management. Recently, the synchronization was changed
from per-process rwsem to global percpu rwsem for simplicity and
optimization.
Combined with the synchronous mm migration, this led to deadlocks
because mm migration could schedule a work item which may in turn try
to create a new worker blocking on the process management lock held
from cgroup process migration path.
This heavy an operation shouldn't be performed synchronously from that
deep inside cgroup migration in the first place. This patch punts the
actual migration to an ordered workqueue and updates cgroup process
migration and cpuset config update paths to flush the workqueue after
all locks are released. This way, the operations still seem
synchronous to userland without entangling mm migration with process
management synchronization. CPU hotplug can also invoke mm migration
but there's no reason for it to wait for mm migrations and thus
doesn't synchronize against their completions.

From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver

already beforehand. Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of

didn't make it before (due to timing).
A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
drivers depending on it.
Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.

Turns out there are instances where the code just reads aformentioned
values without locking whatsoever - namely environ_read and get_cmdline.
Interestingly these functions look quite resilient against bogus values,
but I don't believe this should be relied upon.
The first patch gets rid of the oops bug by grabbing mmap_sem for
writing.
The second patch is optional and puts locking around aformentioned
consumers for safety. Consumers of other fields don't seem to benefit
from similar treatment and are left untouched.
This patch (of 2):
The code was taking the semaphore for reading, which does not protect
against readers nor concurrent modifications.
The problem could cause a sanity checks to fail in procfs's cmdline
reader, resulting in an OOPS.
Note that some functions perform an unlocked read of various mm fields,
but they seem to be fine despite possible modificaton.

Almost all callers of the set_cpu_* functions pass an explicit true or

Exporting the cpumasks __cpu_possible_mask and friends will allow us to

Change cpu_possible_bits and friends (online, present, active) from being
bitmaps that happen to have the right size to actually being struct

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted
capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its
credentials.
To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g.
in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS
flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set.
The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its
privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to
perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed
ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass.
While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to
perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access
check is reused for things in procfs.
In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely
on ptrace access checks:
/proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
this scenario:
lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar
drwx------ root root /root
drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
-rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret
Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its
effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file,
this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's
processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access
(through /proc/$pid/cwd).

This doesn't really solve the problem(s) and we probably need to fix the

it races attach-to-stopped-task.
And otoh perhaps we can just remove JOBCTL_TRAPPING_BIT altogether, it is

After commit 9c4b2867ed (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for
CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select()
cannot return negative values. Moreover, ladder_select_state()
will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state()
return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call()
fallback from call_cpuidle().
This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors
and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been
disabled from sysfs consistently.

We've had quite busy weeks in this cycle. Looking at ALSA core, the
significant changes are a few fixes wrt timer and sequencer ioctls
that have been revealed by fuzzer recently. Other than that, ASoC
core got a few updates about DAI link handling, but these are rather
straightforward refactoring.
In drivers scene, ASoC received quite lots of new drivers in addition
to bunch of updates for still ongoing Intel Skylake support and
topology API. HD-audio gained a new HDMI/DP hotplug notification via
component. FireWire got a pile of code refactoring/updates with
SCS.1x driver integration.
More highlights are shown below.
[NOTE: this contains also many commits for DRM. This is due to the
pull of drm stable branch into sound tree, as the base of i915 audio
component work for HD-audio. The highlights below don't contain
these DRM changes, as these are supposed to be pulled via drm tree in
anyway sooner or later.]
Core
- Handful fixes to harden ALSA timer and sequencer ioctls against
races reported by syzkaller fuzzer
- Irq description string can be unique to each card; only for
HD-audio for now
ASoC
- Conversion of the array of DAI links to a list for supporting
dynamically adding and removing DAI links
- Topology API enhancements to make everything more component based
and being able to specify PCM links via topology
- Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final
and ready for enabling in production; we really need to get to the
point where that can be done
- A pile of changes for Intel SkyLake drivers which hopefully deliver
some useful initial functionality for systems with this chipset,
though there is more work still to come
- Lots of new features and cleanups for the Renesas drivers
- ANC support for WM5110
- New drivers: Imagination Technologies IPs, Atmel class D speaker,
Cirrus CS47L24 and WM1831, Dialog DA7128, Realtek RT5659 and
RT56156, Rockchip RK3036, TI PC3168A, and AMD ACP
- Rename PCM1792a driver to be generic pcm179x
HD-Audio
- Use audio component for i915 HDMI/DP hotplug handling
- On-demand binding with i915 driver
- bdl_pos_adj parameter adjustment for Baytrail controllers
- Enable power_save_node for CX20722; this shouldn't lead to
regression, hopefully

@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
lock or trylock. If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched(). This allows
console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.
However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
before starting outputting lines. Also, only a few drivers call
console_conditional_schedule() to begin with. This means that when a
lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.
If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
warnings incapacitating the system.
Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
@console_may_schedule.

Boot consoles are typically replaced by proper consoles during the boot
process. This can be problematic if the boot console data is part of
the init section that is reclaimed late during boot. If the proper
console does not register before this point in time, the boot console
will need to be removed (so that the freed memory is not accessed),
leaving the system without output for some time.
There are various reasons why the proper console may not register early
enough, such as deferred probe or the driver being a loadable module.
If that happens, there is some amount of time where no console messages
are visible to the user, which in turn can mean that they won't see
crashes or other potentially useful information.
To avoid this situation, only remove the boot console when it resides in
the init section. Code exists to replace the boot console by the proper
console when it is registered, keeping a seamless transition between the
boot and proper consoles.
