2009-08-01do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user spaceLinus Torvalds
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those padding bytes. Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure from user space, so it all even makes sense. [ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc does really stupid things. ] Reported-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When profile= is used, a large buffer is allocated early at boot. This can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a warning.

2009-07-29cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdirKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
After commit ec64f51545fffbc4cb968f0cea56341a4b07e85a ("cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg) doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts. That commit expects all refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't. Then, rmdir can wait permanently. This patch tries to fix that and change followings. - set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy(). - clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case. if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up. - rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

2009-07-29cgroups: fix pid namespace bugLi Zefan
The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844 ("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array"). We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks" file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids from that namespace instead of their own namespaces. To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns. The list will be of length 1 at most time.

2009-07-28tracing: Fix missing function_graph events when we splice_read from trace_pipeLai Jiangshan
About a half events are missing when we splice_read from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on the ring buffer. The same problem appears with ftrace_dump() Example of an output before this patch: 1) | ktime_get_real() { 1) 2.846 us | read_hpet(); 1) 4.558 us | } 1) 6.195 us | } After this patch: 0) | ktime_get_real() { 0) | getnstimeofday() { 0) 1.960 us | read_hpet(); 0) 3.597 us | } 0) 5.196 us | } The fix also applies on 2.6.30 Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org LKML-Reference: <4A6EEC52.90704@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2009-07-28tracing: Fix invalid function_graph entryLai Jiangshan
When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of the current function entry. In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current entry before going ahead in the ring buffer. However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers. The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible racy overwriting. Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it.

Currently lockdep will print the 1st circle detected if it exists when acquiring a new (next) lock.

The patch still uses the current method to check circle, and once the circle is found, breadth-first search algorithem is used to compute the shortest path from the next lock to the previous lock in the forward lock dependency graph. Printing the shortest path will shorten the dependency chain, and make troubleshooting for possible circular locking easier.

2009-07-23tracing: show proper address for trace-printk formatSteven Rostedt
Since the trace_printk may use pointers to the format fields in the buffer, they are exported via debugfs/tracing/printk_formats. This is used by utilities that read the ring buffer in binary format. It helps the utilities map the address of the format in the binary buffer to what the printf format looks like. Unfortunately, the way the output code works, it exports the address of the pointer to the format address, and not the format address itself. This makes the file totally useless in trying to figure out what format string a binary address belongs to. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

Support for graceful handling of sleep states (S3/S4/S5) after an Intel(R) TXT launch. Without this patch, attempting to place the system in one of the ACPI sleep states (S3/S4/S5) will cause the TXT hardware to treat this as an attack and will cause a system reset, with memory locked. Not only may the subsequent memory scrub take some time, but the platform will be unable to enter the requested power state. This patch calls back into the tboot so that it may properly and securely clean up system state and clear the secrets-in-memory flag, after which it will place the system into the requested sleep state using ACPI information passed by the kernel. arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c | 2 ++ drivers/acpi/acpica/hwsleep.c | 3 +++ kernel/cpu.c | 7 ++++++- 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Signed-off-by: Joseph Cihula <joseph.cihula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shane Wang <shane.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-07-20tracing/filters: improve subsystem filterLi Zefan
Currently a subsystem filter should be applicable to all events under the subsystem, and if it failed, all the event filters will be cleared. Those behaviors make subsys filter much less useful: # echo 'vec == 1' > irq/softirq_entry/filter # echo 'irq == 5' > irq/filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat irq/softirq_entry/filter none I'd expect it set the filter for irq_handler_entry/exit, and not touch softirq_entry/exit. The basic idea is, try to see if the filter can be applied to which events, and then just apply to the those events: # echo 'vec == 1' > softirq_entry/filter # echo 'irq == 5' > filter # cat irq_handler_entry/filter irq == 5 # cat softirq_entry/filter vec == 1 Changelog for v2: - do some cleanups to address Frederic's comments.

'\n' is already appended, and what we need is just an extra space for the '\0'. Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4A3EED63.3090908@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-07-20tracing/events: record the size of dynamic arraysLi Zefan
When a dynamic array is defined, we add __data_loc_foo in trace_entry to record the offset of the array, but the size of the array is not recorded, which causes 2 problems: - the event filter just compares the first 2 chars of the strings. - parsers can't parse dynamic arrays. So we encode the size of each dynamic array in the higher 16 bits of __data_loc_foo, while the offset is in lower 16 bits.

Writing a zero length string to sys/.../current_clocksource will cause a NULL pointer dereference if the clock events system is in one shot (highres or nohz) mode.
