Michael Holzheu d57af9b214 taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times
The taskstats interface uses microsecond granularity for the user and
system time values.  The conversion from cputime to the taskstats values
uses the cputime_to_msecs primitive which effectively limits the
granularity to milliseconds.  Add the cputime_to_usecs primitive for
architectures that have better, more precise CPU time values.  Remove
cputime_to_msecs primitive because there are no more users left.

Jeff Mahoney 8589312069 delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems
prepare_reply() sets up an skb for the response.  The payload contains:

 +--------------------------------+
 | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes           |
 +--------------------------------+
 | NLA header - 4 bytes           | /* Aggregate header */
 +-+------------------------------+
 | | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* PID header */
 | +------------------------------+
 | | pid/tgid   - 4 bytes         |
 | +------------------------------+
 | | NLA header - 4 bytes         | /* stats header */
 | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary
 | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes |
 +-+------------------------------+

The start of the taskstats struct must be 8 byte aligned on IA64 (and
other systems with 8 byte alignment rules for 64-bit types) or runtime
alignment warnings will be issued.

This patch pads the pid/tgid field out to sizeof(long), which forces the
alignment of taskstats.  The getdelays userspace code is ok with this
since it assumes 32-bit pid/tgid and then honors that header's length
field.

An array is used to avoid exposing kernel memory contents to userspace in
the response.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 478735e388 /proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpu
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus.  But we can make use of kstat_irqs().

kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)

If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does

	for_each_irq()
		for_each_cpu()
			- look up a radix tree
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as

	for_each_irq()
		look up radix tree
		for_each_cpu()
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]

This reduces cost.

Namhyung Kim 4abf986960 ptrace: change signature of sys_ptrace() and friends
Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void
pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in
kernel.  Therefore related functions are changed also.

'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque
data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from
sparse.

Daniel Lezcano 32a8cf235e cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate
Current behavior:
=================

(1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which
    means to enable all the cgroup subsystems.  This is the default option
    when no option is specified.

(2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup
    subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount
    option.

(3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent',
    the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified
    also.  Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in
    this case.

(4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem
    name, but this is not detected.

In other words:
 succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
	=> is it 'all' or 'freezer' ?
 fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup
	=> succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all'

The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check.

New behavior:
=============

(1) untouched
(2) untouched
(3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than
    a subsystem name option
(4) raises an error

In other words:
 fails   : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
 succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup

For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ...
indentation when parsing the options has been changed to:
if ... then
	...
	continue

Daniel Lezcano 97978e6d1f cgroup: add clone_children control file
The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces.  When a
new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created
too.  The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the
child of 'clone'.

This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to
escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child
cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup.

Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing
problems with it:

(1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a
    previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST

(2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an
    application creating several namespaces where the system will
    automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the
    cgroupfs (eg.  a vrf based on the network namespace).

(3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check
    and clean these cgroups.

This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and
the cgroupfs mount option.  It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when
a child cgroup is created.  We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as
this flag brings a compatibility.  We have now to manually create and add
the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework.

This patch:

Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html

It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup.  This control file
is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the
parent cgroup or not.  The default value is 'false'.

This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.

At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the
post_clone callback.

The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children'
mount option.

Tomasz Buchert 2d3cbf8bc8 cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitions
There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer.  Only FREEZING ->
FROZEN transaction is done lazily.  This patch allows update_freezer_state
only to perform this transaction and renames the function to
update_if_frozen.

Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence
is replaced with frozen().  Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every
task must be frozen.

The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the
process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet),
update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would
incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0),
allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to
'freezer.state'.  This is incorrect according to the documentation.  This
could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

A code to reproduce this bug is available here:
http://pentium.hopto.org/~thinred/repos/linux-misc/freezer_bug2.c

Tomasz Buchert 0bdba580ab cgroup_freezer: fix can_attach() to prohibit moving from/to freezing/frozen cgroups
It is possible to move a task from its cgroup even if this group is
'FREEZING'.  This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become
frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D'
state.

This patch allows to migrate the task only between THAWED cgroups.

This behavior was observed and easily reproduced on a single core laptop.
Notice that reproducibility depends highly on the machine used.  Program

        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.  get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

Ying Han 3d5992d2ac oom: add per-mm oom disable count
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing.  A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.

This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.

This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,

The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the
addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied
to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are
initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the
counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that
we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation
without needing to care about the counters.

Andrew,

Could you please review this patch, you probably are the right guy to
take it, because it crosses fs and net trees.

Note : /proc/sys/fs/file-nr is a read-only file, so this patch doesnt
depend on previous patch (sysctl: fix min/max handling in

Thanks !

[PATCH V4] fs: allow for more than 2^31 files

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :

<quote>

We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket.  This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:

        atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of
atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.
get_nr_files() is changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

David Howells 5260562754 MN10300: Fix the PERCPU() alignment to allow for workqueues
In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in
alloc_cwqs() at the following line:

        /* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */
  --->  BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align));
        return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

The values are:

        wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0
        align => 0x100

and align is calculated by the following:

        const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
                                   __alignof__(unsigned long long));

This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its
lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be
sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to
things.

Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal
circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set.  This requires
the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512
bytes aligned with debugging).

PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in
vmlinux.lds.S.  So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other
arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers
the assertion.

Jason Wessel 495363d380 kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core locking
The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that
took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution.  Resuming
from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause
problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor
than had taken the lock.

The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with
because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will
remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception
context.

Jason Wessel dfee3a7b92 debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpus
For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and
various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel
debugger.  The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and
resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case
problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system
using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly.

The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows:

  * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in
    order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have
    taken a debug exception.
  * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[].
  * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message.
  * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own
    element in cpu_in_kgdb[].
  * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces
them with 2 single counters.  One counter is used to count the number
of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an
exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have
entered as slave cpus.

The new entry logic works as follows:

  * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments
    the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called
    dbg_master_lock.
  * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu.
  * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus.
  * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception()
    will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb.  Each slave will now spin
    try_locking on dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb
    to be equal to the sum of the online cpus.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding
dbg_master_lock.  Stress testing has not turned up any further
entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design.  The prior
locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic
(in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

Dongdong Deng c1bb9a9c19 debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()
The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to
the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive
faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch
specific hw breakpoint operations.

This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug()
earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core.

The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be:

master_debug_cpu   slave_debug_cpu
         \              /
          kgdb_cpu_enter

Jason Wessel e3bda3ac33 kdb,ftdump: Remove reference to internal kdb include
Now that include/linux/kdb.h properly exports all the functions
required to dynamically add a kdb shell command, the reference to the
private kdb header can be removed.

Jason Wessel f7030bbc44 kdb: Allow kernel loadable modules to add kdb shell functions
In order to allow kernel modules to dynamically add a command to the
kdb shell the kdb_register, kdb_register_repeat, kdb_unregister, and
kdb_printf need to be exported as GPL symbols.

Any kernel module that adds a dynamic kdb shell function should only
need to include linux/kdb.h.
