The bug was introduced by me in 449d0d7c ("uprobes: Simplify the
usage of uprobe->pending_list").
Yes, we do not care about uprobe->pending_list after return and
nobody can remove the current list entry, but put_uprobe(uprobe)
can actually free it and thus we need list_for_each_safe().

The comment above write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page) tells
about the race with do_wp_page(). I don't really understand
which exactly race it means, but afaics this lock_page() was not
enough to close all races with do_wp_page().
Anyway, since:
77fc4af1b5 uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing
this code is always called with ->mmap_sem held for writing,
so we can forget about do_wp_page().
However, we can't simply remove this lock_page(), and the only
(afaics) reason is __replace_page()->try_to_free_swap().
Nothing in write_opcode() needs it, move it into
__replace_page() and fix the comment.

write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody
can see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl
lock, and we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock().
If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock
the new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.

page_address_in_vma(old_page) in __replace_page() is ugly and
wrong. The caller already knows the correct virtual address,
this page was found by get_user_pages(vaddr).
However, page_address_in_vma() can actually fail if
page->mapping was cleared by __delete_from_page_cache() after
get_user_pages() returns. But this means the race with page
reclaim, write_opcode() should not fail, it should retry and
read this page again. Probably the race with remove_mapping() is
not possible due to page_freeze_refs() logic, but afaics at
least shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache() can
clear ->mapping.
We could change __replace_page() to return -EAGAIN in this case,
but it would be better to simply use the caller's vaddr and rely
on page_check_address().

write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is
pointless. The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(),
has already done these checks under mmap_sem.
To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can
rely on build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).

This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS.
Symlinks:
A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based
time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw
is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a
root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp
The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside
a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.
Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:
- Violates POSIX.
- POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
a broken specification at the cost of security.
- Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
- Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
that rely on this behavior.
- Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
- True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
- This should live in the core VFS.
- This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)

Hardlinks:
On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition
as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.
The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.
Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files
they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine
of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX,
which states "the implementation may require that the calling process
has permission to access the existing file"[1].
This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for
a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in
Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in
FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the
kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include
<linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would
be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
flags to gcc.
It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc
definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel
uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no
uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll
continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f
("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused
macros.
Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to
nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

This command doesn't report any events without this patch.
I think it isn't a security concern if someone knows who will

I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by

With the current state of irq_domain, the reverse map is always updated
when new IRQs get mapped. This means that the irq_find_mapping() function
can be simplified to execute the revmap lookup functions unconditionally
This patch adds lookup functions for the revmaps that don't yet have one
and removes the slow path lookup code path.
v8: Broke out unrelated changes into separate patches. Rebased on Paul's irq
association patches.
v7: Rebased to irqdomain/next for v3.4 and applied before the removal of 'hint'
v6: Remove the slow path entirely. The only place where the slow path
could get called is for a linear mapping if the hwirq number is larger
than the linear revmap size. There shouldn't be any interrupt
controllers that do that.
v5: rewrite to not use a ->revmap() callback. It is simpler, smaller,
safer and faster to open code each of the revmap lookups directly into
irq_find_mapping() via a switch statement.

1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.
No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.
This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.
I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)
The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.
2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.
3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.
4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.
5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.
6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.
8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.
9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.
10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.
From Eric Dumazet.
11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
from Alexander Duyck.
12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
Eric Dumazet.
13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.
14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a
tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric
Dumazet.
15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

commit 1e75fa8b (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec)
introduced helper functions which apply a timespec to the core
internal timekeeper data. The internal storage type is u64. The
timespec tv_nsec value must be shifted before set or added to the
internal value. tv_nsec is a long, which is 32bit on a 32bit system,
so without casting tv_nsec to u64 we lose the bits which are shifted
over the 32bit boundary.
Add the proper typecasts.

If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing
from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this,
as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as
q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then
attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q
been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c ("sched:
Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he
found the reason to be that the multiple task_group()
invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values.
Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain
wrong comments.
The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is
updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty,
but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup
stuff works.

Current load balance scheme requires only one cpu in a
sched_group (balance_cpu) to look at other peer sched_groups for
imbalance and pull tasks towards itself from a busy cpu. Tasks
thus pulled by balance_cpu could later get picked up by cpus
that are in the same sched_group as that of balance_cpu.
This scheme however fails to pull tasks that are not allowed to
run on balance_cpu (but are allowed to run on other cpus in its
sched_group). That can affect fairness and in some worst case
scenarios cause starvation.
Consider a two core (2 threads/core) system running tasks as
below:
Core0 Core1
/ \ / \
C0 C1 C2 C3
| | | |
v v v v
F0 T1 F1 [idle]
T2
F0 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C0)
F1 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C2)
T1 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1)
T2 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1 and C2)
F1 could become a cpu hog, which will starve T2 unless C1 pulls
it. Between C0 and C1 however, C0 is required to look for
imbalance between cores, which will fail to pull T2 towards
Core0. T2 will starve eternally in this case. The same scenario
can arise in presence of non-rt tasks as well (say we replace F1
with high irq load).
We tackle this problem by having balance_cpu move pinned tasks
to one of its sibling cpus (where they can run). We first check
if load balance goal can be met by ignoring pinned tasks,
failing which we retry move_tasks() with a new env->dst_cpu.
This patch modifies load balance semantics on who can move load
towards a given cpu in a given sched_domain.
Before this patch, a given_cpu or a ilb_cpu acting on behalf of
an idle given_cpu is responsible for moving load to given_cpu.
With this patch applied, balance_cpu can in addition decide on
moving some load to a given_cpu.
There is a remote possibility that excess load could get moved
as a result of this (balance_cpu and given_cpu/ilb_cpu deciding
*independently* and at *same* time to move some load to a
given_cpu). However we should see less of such conflicting
decisions in practice and moreover subsequent load balance
cycles should correct the excess load moved to given_cpu.

While load balancing, if all tasks on the source runqueue are pinned,
we retry after excluding the corresponding source cpu. However, loop counters
env.loop and env.loop_break are not reset before retrying, which can lead
to failure in moving the tasks. In this patch we reset env.loop and
env.loop_break to their inital values before we retry.

Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks
bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package. Fix
that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate. Each buddy may try
to motivate that one other CPU, if it's busy, tough, it may then try its
SMT sibling, but that's all this optimization is allowed to cost.
Sibling cache buddies are cross-wired to prevent bouncing.

Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline.
This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization
that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us:
"We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost,
and do only the necessary amount of processing!".
And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to
scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how
it is restructured.

At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug
are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear
separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example,
the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU
online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense
only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily
traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also.
As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset
tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes.

In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.
However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend.
In order to achieve that, do the following:
1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all.
In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and
don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets
during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the
suspend/resume path.
2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid
altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build
a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the
CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring
the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
(Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.)
3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched
domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in
before suspend.
Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend
resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by
not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid
running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:
- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.
The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.
Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).
See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.
With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]
- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.
That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.
There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.
For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.
There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]
- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.
- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
it's large enough as it is..."

25511a4776 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle

This works for all normal workers but rescuers can trigger this
spuriously when they're serving the unbound or a disassociated
global_cwq - rescuers don't have either flag set and thus its
gcwq->cpu can be a different value including %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for
users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime
priority). It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations
which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way
flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not
allowing work items to be freed while being executed.
While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current
behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases. Also,
removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code
easier to understand.
This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov:
"The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The
old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current
printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon
entering 'dmesg' command.
The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper
iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler.
A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant
of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6.
It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll
try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go:
- The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at
all. It is a regression
- The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else;
- If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your
setup), it hardly can make things worse."

In response to an async related regression James noted:
"My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of
our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even
the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true."
...so make this assumption true.
Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain
list when work is scheduled. Once all entries complete it exits that
list. Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across
all domains.
Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive
ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared
exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work
item completes.
Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain()
is there to close any theoretical races with pending
async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.

This is in preparation for teaching async_synchronize_full() to sync all
pending async work, and not just on the async_running domain. This
conversion is functionally equivalent, just embedding the existing list
in a new async_domain type.
The .registered attribute is used in a later patch to distinguish
between domains that want to be flushed by async_synchronize_full()
versus those that only expect async_synchronize_{full|cookie}_domain to
be used for flushing.

There are tools like makedumpfile and vmcore-dmesg which can extract
kernel log buffer from vmcore. Since we introduced structured logging,
that functionality is broken. Now user space tools need to know about
"struct log" and offsets of various fields to be able to parse struct
log data and extract text message or dictonary.
This patch exports some of the fields.
Currently I am not exporting log "level" info as that is a bitfield and
offsetof() bitfields can't be calculated. But if people start asking for
log level info in the output then we probably either need to seprate
out "level" or use bit shift operations for flags and level.

Commit a7a20d1039 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain")
make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async
domain.
However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized
by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes
the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that
"wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be
parsed.
And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on
for mounting the root filesystem.
Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it
timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root
filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they
actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the
scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected
wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans().
[ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken,
but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d01 ("fix async probe
regression"), so that same commit a7a20d1039 had actually broken
setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ]
Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call
into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device
probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's
no reason not to do this.
So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and
properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now
unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

With the previous changes, a disassociated global_cwq now can run as
an unbound one on its own - it can create workers as necessary to
drain remaining works after the CPU has been brought down and manage
the number of workers using the usual idle timer mechanism making
trustee completely redundant except for the actual unbinding
operation.
This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq
manage itself. Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity)
which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE.
This patch moves nr_running clearing outside gcwq and manager locks to
simplify the code. As nr_running is unused at the point, this is
safe.

Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are
drained, the trustee butchers all workers. Also, on CPU onlining
failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker
is destroyed. Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't
have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished.
This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more
expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU
hotplug for powersaving.
This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the
trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first
worker. The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any
during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away. If onlining succeeds,
the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other
workers. If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next
try.
This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep
workers across them and simplifies code.
Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus
the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back
online. This will be improved by further patches.

Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
finished. This works for busy workers because concurrency management
doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
the target task to be on the local run queue. The busy worker bumps
concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
idle state.
To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining. This
patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
idle workers.
As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
workers is tricky. All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
callbacks are enabled. This is achieved by interlocking idle
re-binding. Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
executing work item. Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
until all idle workers are ready.
worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added. Rebinding logic is
moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
flushing trustee. While at it, add CPU sanity check in
worker_thread().
Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE. As the previous patch
updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.

Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
unbound global_cwq. Creation during normal operation is always via
maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during
hotplug, @bind is false.
Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
won't work.
Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.
This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle
has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further
simplification of CPU hotplug path.

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes
the manager role at any given time on a given global_cwq. Trustee
later hitched on it to assume manager adding blocking wait for the
bit. As trustee already needed a custom wait mechanism, waiting for
MANAGING_WORKERS was rolled into the same mechanism.
Trustee is scheduled to be removed. This patch separates out
MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex. Workers use
mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock()
to claim manager roles.
gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release
manager roles of all pools on a global_cwq. gcwq_claim_management()
always grabs pool manager mutexes in ascending pool index order and
uses pool index as lockdep subclass.

Currently, WORKER_UNBOUND is used to mark workers for the unbound
global_cwq and WORKER_ROGUE is used to mark workers for disassociated
per-cpu global_cwqs. Both are used to make the marked worker skip
concurrency management and the only place they make any difference is
in worker_enter_idle() where WORKER_ROGUE is used to skip scheduling
idle timer, which can easily be replaced with trustee state testing.
This patch replaces WORKER_ROGUE with WORKER_UNBOUND and drops
WORKER_ROGUE. This is to prepare for removing trustee and handling
disassociated global_cwqs as unbound.

Workqueue used CPU_DYING notification to mark GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.
This was necessary because workqueue's CPU_DOWN_PREPARE happened
before other DOWN_PREPARE notifiers and workqueue needed to stay
associated across the rest of DOWN_PREPARE.
After the previous patch, workqueue's DOWN_PREPARE happens after
others and can set GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED directly. Drop CPU_DYING and
let the trustee set GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED after disabling concurrency
management.

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.
Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.
However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.
While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.
Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.
Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

Fragments of continuation lines are flushed to the console immediately. In

If the the console is busy and the continuation line is complete, but no part
of it was written to the console up to this point, we can just store the

On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing
calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer

The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the
sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat
duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we
have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full
nsec portion out and back in over and over.
This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper
xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and
reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion
(stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds).
This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will
allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code
is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.
This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.

WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head
of the global worklist. Other than queueing at the head, they weren't
handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution
latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems.
Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple
worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using
a separate worker_pool. NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and
gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for
highpri. Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in
their names. Note that this change increases the number of kworkers
per cpu.
POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain
wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed.
This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes

The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made
atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region
as smp function calls are not allowed there.
clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called
either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday()
or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in
the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second.
In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between
dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set()
issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will
see the new time but operate on stale offsets.
So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a
consistent state of time and offsets.
ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time
and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt()
to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The
function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt().
The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just
adds two store operations.
This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are
noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to
any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to
be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a
leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are
either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap
second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated
which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other
means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data
stays forever and timers are expired either early or late.
The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a
call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures.
See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix
Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of
a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context
as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard

clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because
it calls on_each_cpu().
For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to
call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which
does the timekeeping updates.
Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

This adds a new strict mapping API for supporting creation of linux IRQs
at existing positions within the domain. The new routines are as follows:
For dynamic allocation and insertion to specified ranges:
- irq_create_identity_mapping()
- irq_create_strict_mappings()
These will allocate and associate a range of linux IRQs at the specified
location. This can be used by controllers that have their own static linux IRQ
definitions to map a hwirq range to, as well as for platforms that wish to
establish 1:1 identity mapping between linux and hwirq space.
For insertion to specified ranges by platforms that do their own irq_desc
management:
- irq_domain_associate()
- irq_domain_associate_many()
These in turn call back in to the domain's ->map() routine, for further
processing by the platform. Disassociation of IRQs get handled through
irq_dispose_mapping() as normal.
With these in place it should be possible to begin migration of legacy IRQ
domains to linear ones, without requiring special handling for static vs
dynamic IRQ definitions in DT vs non-DT paths. This also makes it possible
for domains with static mappings to adopt whichever tree model best fits
their needs, rather than simply restricting them to linear revmaps.

A large proportion of interrupt controllers that support legacy mappings
do so because non-DT systems need to use fixed IRQ numbers when registering
devices via buses but can otherwise use a linear mapping. The interrupt
controller itself typically is not affected by the mapping used and best
practice is to use a linear mapping where possible so drivers frequently
select at runtime depending on if a legacy range has been allocated to
them.
Standardise this behaviour by providing irq_domain_register_simple() which
will allocate a linear mapping unless a positive first_irq is provided in
which case it will fall back to a legacy mapping. This helps make best
practice for irq_domain adoption clearer.

48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry
holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
superblock.
Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while
releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this
window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
BUG().
Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946
and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
final cgroup dput().

The /proc/kmsg read() interface is internally simply wired up to a sequence
of syslog() syscalls, which might are racy between their checks and actions,
regarding concurrency.
In the (very uncommon) case of concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, relying on
usual O_NONBLOCK behavior, the recently introduced mutex might block an
O_NONBLOCK reader in read(), when poll() returns for it, but another process
has already read the data in the meantime. We've seen that while running
artificial test setups and tools that "fight" about /proc/kmsg data.
This restores the original /proc/kmsg behavior, where in case of concurrent
read()s, poll() might wake up but the read() syscall will just return 0 to
the caller, while another process has "stolen" the data.
This is in the general case not the expected behavior, but it is the exact
same one, that can easily be triggered with a 3.4 kernel, and some tools
might just rely on it.
The mutex is not needed, the original integrity issue which introduced it,
is in the meantime covered by:
